Top Gear, Series 9

[on Richard's return]

Jeremy:
Anyway, listen. This is the big question. I guess everybody wants to know. Are you ready? Are you now a mental?

Richard:
No!

[the audience laughs]

Richard:
I'm not! I'm fixed! I'm completely fixed, and normal, and healed. Thank you. What are you doing?

James:
I thought you might need these... [hands Hammond tissues] ...in case you start dribbling.

Richard:
That's all I've had for four months...

James:
What? Tissues?

Richard:
No! People hanging around just watching, waiting for my eyes to point in different directions and for me to go bonkers. I'm fixed, I'm normal.

Jeremy:
Are you the same person that you were before?

Richard:
Yes! I mean, the doctors were worried, because it's brain damage, you know... personality change or whatever, but... no, the only difference between me now and me before the crash is... I like celery now and I didn't... before.

Jeremy:
So you're still shouty? You're still fighty?

Richard:
Yes...

James:
And if I take you to the pub, are you still going to want to punch me in the face after 15 minutes?

Richard:
Yes, though that's, to be honest, more [gestures to Jeremy] your personality than mine.

Jeremy:
I always want to punch him in the face after 15 minutes, sometimes less.

Richard:
Yeah, that's perfectly normal.
