• Compo : I've been romancing her all this time and it's got me nowhere.

  Compo : Listen, if I want any advice on romance, I won't come to an unqualified poof.

  Sid : Hey, are you trying to hurt his rotten feelings?

  Compo : Pah?

  Sid : How do you know he's not a qualified poof?

• Compo : For what professional reasons did thee remain a bachelor?

  Foggy : I came to the conclusion there was no place in marriage for a professional fighting man.

  Sid : There's a place in my marriage for one.

• Compo : Just one thing.

  Clegg : What?

  Compo : When I'm dead, will you make sure that nobody as scruffy as me comes to my funeral?

• Compo : Ah, but she has a kind of weathered beauty. You know how beautiful the old public wash houses look in the moonlight, and you wonder maybe if there is a God after all, and suddenly for a few minutes you want to do something reckless like comb your hair or wash your feet? Well, that's how I want to be with Nora. I've been romancing her all this time, and it's got me nowhere.

• Compo : I wanna celebrate being alive! I wanna feel the blood rushing through me wellies! I wanna do something memorable to Nora Batty!
