Quotes 

• the Vicar's wife : Liz, will you and your jewelry stall be happy over there by the fire extinguisher?

  Elizabeth : Yes, that would be fine.

  the Vicar's wife : I'm putting Mrs. Bucket - Bouquet - over there.

  [points to furthest corner of the room from the fire extinguisher] 

  Elizabeth : Ah! Thank you.

  the Vicar's wife : She should have enough space there for a White Elephant.

  Emmet : Is Richard here, then?

• the Vicar's wife : [coming outside]  Ah, I thought I heard a car!

  Elizabeth : Two volunteers to lend a hand.

  the Vicar's wife : That's most kind of you, Liz and Emmet.

  Emmet : Absolutely no problem. Sometimes it's nice to get out of the house. Now, you tell us what you'd like us to do, and we'll...

  [sees Hyacinth approaching] 

  Emmet : ... leave immediately!

  Elizabeth : We can't leave now!

  Hyacinth : Oh, it's Liz and Emmet! We thought you might be the Drummonds. The Drummonds from the Grange, you know. They're coming. Perhaps I ought to wait out here to meet them.

  the Vicar's wife : What a good idea!

  Emmet : Yes! Excellent! Why don't you stay out here to meet them.

  Hyacinth : Well, I think I ought.

  Elizabeth : [whispers]  You can't leave her standing out there.

  Emmet : Yes I can!

• [last lines] 

  Emmet : There you are, Richard! I've only just heard that you've been very busy mending the electrics. How's it going?

  Richard : I'm finished, now.

  Emmet : Hidden talents, eh? You're a dark horse, Richard!

  Richard : Well, you know how it is.

  [grabs the switch] 

  Richard : Now, is everybody ready?

  Michael the Vicar : This is like the switch on in Regent Street at Christmas!

  Onslow : Hang on. Let's do it properly. We ought to have a countdown.

  Emmet : Good idea! Ten...

  Emmet , Onslow , Michael the Vicar : Nine... eight... seven... six... five...!

  [Richard throws the switch and every electrical fixture in the church hall blows up. Daddy evacuates everybody as the front door of the church hall is blasted open, and Hyacinth runs to Richard] 

  Hyacinth : Richard! What's happened?

  Richard : I think I'm better with Christmas tree lights!
