Fawlty Towers1975

[Basil's constant mention of World War II has reduced a German girl to tears, so he decides to cheer her up with a Hitler imitation]

Basil Fawlty:
Look, she'll love it! She's German!

[Basil almost holds a finger underneath his nose]

Polly Shearman:
[recognizing what's to come, with horror] NO, Mr. Fawlty!

Basil Fawlty:
What?

Polly Shearman:
Do Jimmy Cagney instead!

Basil Fawlty:
What?

Polly Shearman:
Jimmy Cagney!

Basil Fawlty:
Jimmy Cagney?

Polly Shearman:
You know! "You dirty rat!"

Basil Fawlty:
I can't do Jimmy Cagney!

Polly Shearman:
Oh, please try! "I'm gonna get you..."

Basil Fawlty:
Shut up!

Basil Fawlty:
[to the Germans] Here, watch. Who's this then?

[He holds a finger underneath his nose and shouts in mock German, which makes the German girl cry even more]

Basil Fawlty:
OK, I'll do the funny walk!

[Basil goose-steps into the lobby and back, all the while chanting in mock German]
