Neighbours scriptwriters - comedy Geniuses!! (long one)
Inspired by t`other thread regarding that bassingthwaighte bit of rough, I happened upon the `quotes` page on imdb foir out beloved antipodean diversion, some of these are so subtley hilarious, it`s scary..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lyn has the `baby blues`]
Connor: But I thought new mothers were supposed to be radiant?
Joe: Radiant? But they are radiant, mate - when the kid`s twenty and has moved out of home.
Tad: [armed with baking trays] Found these in the back of one of Madge`s cupboards.
Susan: I`d completely forgotten about them.
Tad: So had she, which is why she`s too embarrassed to apologize herself. Now, er, I`m supposed to grovel, blame Harold and quickly change the subject. So, how about the weather today ay?
Joel: So, when you think about it, there`s nothing wrong, absolutely nothing wrong, with two friends - which is what Flick and I are, friends - going out and spending a day together. I mean, that`s natural.
Karl: And what about the kiss?
Joel: Well, I wouldn`t call it a kiss as such.
Karl: A pash then.
Joel: A peck perhaps.
Susan: Gee, pecking`s changed since our day, hasn`t it?
Joel: Maybe it looked like a kiss.
Susan: It would have been the pressing of lips that confused us probably.
Joel: Alright, we just got caught up in the romantic mood of the maze.
Karl: And the density of the foliage.
Lou: Harold, spare me the lecture.
Harold: I`m only commenting.
Lou: Harold, spare me the comment!
Jane: Are you sure this is a good idea?
Charlene: I`m a Ramsay. We don`t think about things like that.
[After a lecture from Madge]
Toadie: I`ll have a coffee thanks Madge, hold the arsenic.
Joe: You need a megaphone to have a `quiet` word with that woman Lynnie.
Dee: Zombie Massacre?
Toadie: That one is really good.
Dee: Oh, Toadie!
Tess: No way.
Toadie: Alright, fine, don`t wanna watch that. Watch this one.
Dee: Zombie Massacre 2: Mother Gets Her Medicine.
[after catching Toadie streaking down Ramsay St.]
Angie: Well, I`ve seen it all now. Unfortunately, so has everyone else.
Dee: I`m gonna make Libby an offer she can`t refuse... You`ve seen The Godfather, haven`t you?
Tess: Oh, once, ages ago.
Dee: My humour is so wasted.
Lance: Come on guys, it`s a wedding dress - who cares?
Amy: You`ll be very different when you`re getting married.
Lance: I`ve decided I`m not going to wear a dress.
[walking in on Tad and Paul wrestling on the couch]
Flick: I did knock, but would you two prefer to be alone?
Drew: I`m here to see Libby.
Tom: She doesn`t want to see ya.
Drew: She doesn`t know I`m here yet.
Tom: And that`s the way it`s gonna stay.
Lance: She looks great, she`s my age and the stuff that she`s interested in is very good.
Ruth: Oh thanks Lance, I feel like I`ve known her for years.
Amy: What, you think that men and women can`t be friends?
Billy: Of course they can, when they get too old to care about anything else.
Amy: Oh, please.
Billy: Amy, I know how guys think.
Amy: Guys think? Now that`s an interesting concept.
Karl: People loved our slide nights. I`d say something sensible, you`d contradict me.
Susan: No, I wouldn`t!
Anne: Look at the architecture.
Hannah: Yeah, it`s not like Australia where everything was built about 2 minutes ago.
Lance: Hello! Some of our cave paintings are over 40,000 years old, you know.
Toadie: So, when are you going to give it to her?
Billy: Well, it`s a birthday present. It`s her birthday tomorrow. You work it out!
Flick: We should be grateful. Think of the starving millions in Africa.
Joe: Name one of `em, Flick.
Amy: It`s a secret, Sarah made me promise not to tell anyone.
Lance: Sarah doesn`t know you very well then.
Toadie: I`ve been thinking about our love life.
Joel: Sorry mate, you`re not my type.
Phil: How were you planning on paying for it? Because the last time I looked, plastic surgeons weren`t accepting bottle tops anymore.
Toadie: You know, that woman is an insult to fruitcakes.
Alice: You`re a nurse too?
Tess: No, I work with Susan Kennedy, I`m a teacher.
Alice: This is the most incestuous street... I mean that in the nicest possible way.
Phil: Ruth needs some help and she doesn`t care which quarter it comes from.
Ruth: Phil!
Susan: Actually, one or two suggestions do spring to mind.
Ruth: Oh yes? Nettles? Deadly nightshade?
Pam: Oh Cody, thank god you`re back. You look terrible!
Cody: Yeah, well, I`ve been sleeping in a stable. What`s your excuse?
[Madge is preparing to leave hospital]
Harold: Don`t we need clearance or something?
Madge: Harold, I`m not an aircraft.
Steph: Libby, it was just an impulsive hug.
Libby: Mmm, if you say so... But you have to admit, it definitely lingered - it was almost a cuddle!
Steph: You are quite mad, you know that don`t you?
Libby: So how was he? Does he give good hug?
Lou: You`ve put on a little weight since I last looked you know. Actually, I always thought the nickname `Jelly Belly` was a bit unkind, but I can see why we started it at school.
Billy: Must be a hot date if you`re using an iron.
Harold: Where there`s a will, there`s a way.
Lou: It`s money we need, Harold, not clichés.
Libby: I never realised bricks were so heavy.
Phil: That`s why my brain`s my favourite muscle.
[Max has the video camera]
Boyd: Come on, give me a break.
Max: Oh yeah, you know the family motto.
Summer: Humiliation is character building!
Karl: Actually... Now might be a good time.
Susan: Oh, dinner`s nearly ready.
Karl: No, no - this won`t take long.
Susan: Not really what a woman wants to hear Karl.
Dorothy: `Doug and *I*`. If you`re going to do something as revolutionary as thinking, at least do it grammatically.

Excellent - they seem funnier written down than when they`re delivered on screen. I`ve heard at least 5 of those quotes, and didn`t spot the humour first time around...
They missed my favourite, though, either by or to Toady:
Tell me, when your world was destroyed, did any more of your people survive?
RE: Neighbours scriptwriters - comedy Geniuses!! (long one)
There are some quality ones there.
Bunch of sarcastic b*stards those Aussies!

How on earth did you remember that, let alone find it?
Yeah, I know - the search engine...

I remembered the thread yesterday, but knew I`d used a stupidly easy to remember heading
