Keeping Up Appearances (TV Series)

Early Retirement (1992)

David Griffin: Emmet

Quotes 

• Elizabeth : What are you doing?

  Emmet : I'm waiting for Hyacinth to go inside. Then I can safely go to work.

  Elizabeth : Oh, Emmet! All you have to do is say hello and don't stop.

  Emmet : Ha, you think so? She'll sing at me. She'll give me broad hints that I ought to use her in the Amateur Operatic Society. And my worst nightmare of all - she'll invite me to a candlelight supper!

  Elizabeth : Oh, Emmet, just pull yourself together.

  Emmet : [Peeks out the window]  She's gone! I'm off!

• Elizabeth : [Looking out the window. Shouts, surprised]  Richard's just walked back into the house!

  Emmet : It IS his house, Liz.

  Elizabeth : No, no, no, he was supposed to be leaving for work! I don't think he knows which way he's going. He's been acting strangely ever since they gave him early retirement.

  Emmet : I should think he has, poor devil. Imagine, all day at home with Hyacinth, every day! I'd call Amnesty International.

  Elizabeth : He just kissed Hyacinth twice, and walked back into the house.

  Emmet : ANYONE who kisses Hyacinth twice is entitled to walk back into the house!
