Quotes 

• Kryten : According to Freud's lexicon of dream symbols, flying is supposed to be a metaphore for sex.

  Rimmer : Absolute poppycock - I dream of flying all the time. It's certainly nothing to do with sex. It's always the same dream: I'm in a Boeing seven-two-seven, it can't take off. I'm sitting there with a tiny bag of nuts I can't get open. Then suddenly, after one giant tug - much to my embarrassment - the whole bag explodes over all of my crew. Now, tell me - because I don't see it - how on Earth is that anything to do with sex?

• Lister : You just launched a mining torpedo at him!

  Kryten : It's too late to intercept.

  Lister : Rimmer, what have you done?

  Rimmer : I've just saved all of our necks, that's what I've done. It was the only option.

  Kryten : Impact, one minute and counting.

  Lister : You gotta tell 'im, you gotta tell Harring what you've done.

  Rimmer : What, tell him I've just nuked his ship? I'm not telling him that.

  Lister : Why not?

  Rimmer : He won't like me.

• Kryten : Sir, are you familiar with the Abraham Lincoln quotation on power?

  Rimmer : Lincoln, the President? He got assassinated in the theatre? I've never been a fan of the theatre, Kryten. My mother used to take me and some of the most excruciating hours of my life have been spent there. Sometimes, the greater tragedy is going to the theatre and not getting shot. You were saying?

  Kryten : Lincoln once said: "If you want to test a man's character, give him power".

  Rimmer : And Officer Rimmer once said: "If you want to feel my boot up your recharge socket, keep talking!"
