It's stupid anyway: all this maintanance business. The only reason they don't give this job to the service robots is they've got a better union than us.
-Lister fails to shair Rimmer's enthusiasm for the job at hand: - fixing the chicken soup nozzel on the vending machine.
Rimmer: Lister, do you think it's easy for someone like me to become an officer? Someone who wasn't academy educated, someone who didn't have the right nobby background, someone who didn't have the right parents.
Lister: You didn't have the right parents, whose parents did you have?-Rimmer tries to ake excuses for cheating on his engineering exam.
Lister, not only are you so stupid you'd bring aboard an unquarantined animal, and jeopardize every man and woman on this ship. Not only that, but you take a photograph of yourself with the cat and send it to be processed in the ships lab.
-Cpt. Hollister has ample evidence to accuse Lister of bringing a cat aboard Red Dwarf.
Well, she wont be much use to you on Fiji now. Not unless it snows and you need something to grit the path with.

Lister: What does it feel like?
Rimmer: Death? It's like being on holiday with a group of Germans.-Lister comes out of stasis to discover that Rimmer has been reincarnated as a hologram.
I'm dead, I'm composed entirely of light and I'm alone in space with a man who'd loose a battle of wits with a stuffed iguana.
-Rimmer doesn't think that he can look on the bright side.
01-02 Future Echoes

01-06 Me2
Hello, hello, testing, testing, one, one, one, me me me. Attention all lady cats! I am feeling very, very sexy! Can you hear me, lady cats?! My body is available.
-Cat uses a megaphone to aid his courting.

02-04 Stasis Leak
Rimmer (Future): No, look, I'm you from the future. I've come to warn you in three million years you'll be dead.

Rimmer (Future) : Yes, unless you do somthing about it now.
Rimmer (Past) : What do you suggest? Give up white bread, more roughage?-Rimmer exploits the stasis leak to try to save himself in the past so that he will be alive in the future.

The time for talking is over. Now call it extreme if you like, but I propose we hit it hard, and we hit it fast, with a major, and I mean major, leaflet campaign.
-Rimmer's idea for dealing with the polymorph having had all of his negative emotions drained.
Um, I think we're all beginning to lose sight of the real issue here, which is "What are we going to call ourselves?" um, and I think it comes down to a choice between `The League Against Salivating Monsters' or my own personal preference, which is `The Committee for the Liberation and Integration of Terrifying Organisms and their Rehabilitation Into Society'. Um, one drawback with that... the abbreviation is `CLITORIS'.
-Rimmer's idea for dealing with the polymorph having had all of his negative emotions drained.

-Rimmer tries to establish contact with Legion's vessel.
06-05 Rimmerworld
Lister: There's got to be a way out. There hasn't been a prison built that
could hold Derek Custer. Why don't we scrape away this mortar here, slide one of these bricks out, then using a rope weaved from strands of this
hessian, rip up a kind of a pulley system so that when a guard comes in, using it as a trip wire, gets laid out, and we put Rimmer in the guard's
uniform, he leads us out, we steal some swords, and fight our way back to the 'bug.

That suit's as sharp a page of Oscar Wilde witticisms that have been rolled up into a point, sprinkled with lemon juice and jabbed into someone's eye!
-Ace addressing the cat when he arrives on Starbug.
Ace: You can't judge a book by its cover.
Lister: And you can't confuse Rimmer with a book. For a start, a book's got a spine.-Ace tries to convince Lister that Arnold Rimmer is Ace material.
Get real man. Most eunuchs have got more balls than you.
