Father Ted, Series 3

Mrs. Doyle:
Shall I make the beds in the spare room?

Father Jessup:
[sarcastic] No, we'll sleep outside in a ditch!

Mrs. Doyle:
OK so... would you like a cup of tea?

Father Jessup:
[sarcastic] No, We want to die of thirst.

Mrs. Doyle:
[uncertain] Ok so...

Father Ted:
[quiet] Mrs. Doyle, I think Father Jessup might have been being a bit... sarcastic...

Mrs. Doyle:
Really? Were you being sarcastic, Father Jessup?

Father Jessup:
[still sarcastic] No, we'd like to die of thirst.

Mrs. Doyle:
[looks confusedly at Father Ted]

Father Ted:
[quiet] Mrs. Doyle, I know it's a bit confusing, but the trick is to do the opposite to what Father Jessup says.

Mrs. Doyle:
[very uncertain] So, you really... do... want a cup of tea?

Father Jessup:
[exasperated] Yes! [reaches out for the cup]

Mrs. Doyle:
[takes the cup away, and looks very pleased with herself thinking she has understood correctly]
