Get in the back of the van!Danny's the best:
No need to get uptight, man. I was merely making an observation. I happened to be looking for a suit for the Coalman two weeks ago. For reasons I can't really discuss with you. The Coalman had to go to Jamaica. Got busted coming back through Heathrow. Had a weight under his fez. We worked out it would be handy karma for him to get hold of a suit but he's a very low temperature spade, the Coalman. Goes into court in his kaftan and a bell. This doesn't go down at all well. They can handle the kaftan, they can't handle the bell. So, there's this judge sitting there in a cape like f
king Batman and this really rather far out looking hat.
Withnail: Wig.
Danny: No, man, this was more like a long white hat. So, he looks at the Coalman and says "What's all this? This is a court, man. This ain't fancy dress." And the Coalman looks at him and says "You think you look normal, your honour?" gave him two years.

gave him two years. Danny - The joint I'm about to roll requires a craftsman. It can utilise up to 12 skins. It is called a Camberwell Carrot.
Marwood - It's impossible to use 12 papers on one joint.
Danny - It's impossible to make a Camberwell Carrot with anything less.
Withnail - Who says it's a Camberwell Carrot?
Danny - I do. I invented it in Camberwell, and it looks like a carrot.
or a more pistonheads quote; Withnail - I'm making time!

I really wish I could "get" this film, but for the life of me, I just cannot!
It's really not about the story, it's the writing that makes it so good. Essentially the story is two bums go on a terrible holiday & that's it. However, the quality of the script is beyond fantastic; if you like sixth form humour about bums & knobs, that sort of thing.Look at him! Look at Geoff Woad! Jesus, this huge, thatched head, with its earlobes and cannon ball is now considered sane! Geoff Woad is prepared to step back into society and start tossing his orb about again! His head must weigh fifty pounds on its own! Imagine the size of his balls... imagine getting into a fight with the f
ker! “I'm going to pull your head off.” “Oh no, please don't pull my head off.” “I'm going to pull your head off, because I don't like your head.”True fact: I was once on a late-night train home, the train was virtually empty apart from me a girl who was reading a book. An announcement came over the tannoy:
"Dis twain terminates in Wichmond."
Both myself and the girl opposite burst out laughing and said in unison "IT'S DANNY FROM WITHNAIL AND I!"
Happy days.
