Only Fools and Horses Quotes
Rodney: I never thought I'd see you like this! You're acting like a big kid just 'cos we're stuck in a lift for a while.
Del Boy: Yes, well you don't know how I feel! (kicks the door a couple of times) I feel... I feel sort of frightened! You don't know what that's like!
Rodney: I don't know what it's like?! How d'you think I've felt for the last couple of weeks since Cassie... since what happened?
Del Boy: I don't know, Rodney, I don't know how you've felt!
Rodney: Well, I'll tell you, frightened ain't the word! D'you know what I did last night?
Del Boy: No, but I bet it was depressing!
Rodney: I sat and read my diaries from when I was a school kid.
Del Boy: See, I was right!
Rodney: No, not quite. I actually noticed moments of hope inside those pages - I mean there weren't many - just the occasional oasis of promise in a desert of pessimism. They were simple hopes, as you'd expect for someone of my age. I hoped for - hairs, hoped I'd do well in my exams, I even hoped for a good job when I left school.
Del Boy: Well, you got hairs, didn't you? Think how Right Said Fred must feel.
Rodney: Me and Cass were so happy, Del. We were looking forward and all we could see in front of us was a big wide highway and we were just cruising like we were in a Rolls-Royce. And suddenly it came to a shattering halt - just like the poxy lift. Suddenly Happy Families became Dungeons and Dragons. (crying) And I've never felt sodding pain like that in all my life.
Del Boy: Is Cassandra hurting?
Rodney: Well of course she is!
Del Boy: How d'you now? You haven't talked to her about it.
Rodney: No, and d'you know why? Because... it's because... It's almost like if I don't talk about it, it might not be true.
Del Boy: But it is.
Del Boy: Yes, well you don't know how I feel! (kicks the door a couple of times) I feel... I feel sort of frightened! You don't know what that's like!
Rodney: I don't know what it's like?! How d'you think I've felt for the last couple of weeks since Cassie... since what happened?
Del Boy: I don't know, Rodney, I don't know how you've felt!

Rodney: Cassie seemed so fragile. I wanted to cuddle her and talk to her about it - but I was frightened I might - sort of break her.
Del Boy: No. She's strong, Rodney. It's a dropped stitch in life's tapestry. That's what Mum used to say when things went wrong.
Rodney: Yeah, I suppose that's about the strength of it when you think about it.
Del Boy: Of course it is. You two'll pick up the bits and pieces and be cruising down that big highway again. Cassandra wants to talk about it, she told Raquel.
Rodney: What do I say to her?
Del Boy: All the things you just told me - well, you can leave the bit about the hairs out. You go home and have a heart-to-heart with her right now. And while you're there, you ask her if she fancies coming round for dinner tonight.
Rodney: Yeah, I'd love to Del, but there is the little matter that I'm stuck in a lift.
Del Boy: Oh yeah. (stands up and opens the control panel) Let's have a look in here.
Rodney: Your claustrophobia cleared up quick, didn't it?
Del Boy: Yeah, I seem to be over the worst.
Rodney: (stands up) Almost as quick as that flu you had this morning.
Del Boy: Well, these things come and go, don't they? Oh look, there's a little switch in here. (presses a switch, and the lift begins moving again) There you go.
Rodney: (angry) You git! You stopped it!
Del Boy: (smiling) It was the only way I could get you talking! You can't run away in a broken lift.
Rodney: You git!
Del Boy: No. She's strong, Rodney. It's a dropped stitch in life's tapestry. That's what Mum used to say when things went wrong.
Rodney: Yeah, I suppose that's about the strength of it when you think about it.

Del Boy: (taking a smell of the "coffee" Albert just made) Hang about, which coffee did you make this with?

Then one night, Albert got drunk one night at an old folks' do, and he told me all about Freddie and my mum, and he told me it my Aunt Renee who sorted it all after Mum's funeral.
