What's your favourite line in the movie?


Obviously this movie is packed full of amazing dialogue, but for some reason my favourite line is....

Withnail - "Good. I'm glad you're the proprietor."

For some reason that line just kills me. With that look on his face.

Perhaps not the funniest line but the best delivery has to be,"stop saying that withnail of course he's the *beep* farmer!"

Loads! Don't know if I got them all right cos it's been a while since I've seen it...

"Penrith!" (in the phone box)

"Alright here?" (in the tea rooms)

"You know you want to boyyy" (Uncle Monty)

"Got any more?" (lighter fuel)

"It's like a (bloody) rugby ball now!" (Uncle Monty about the cat)

"Perfume Ponce!" (in the pub)

...and something like “these are the kind of windows that faces look in”???

I can't believe "My thumbs have gone weird!" hasn't been mentioned...

agree the tea shop scene is one of the funniest; my fave from that there:

"We demand the finest wines available to humanity!"

and let's not forget the drive home: "I'm making time!"
