The Young Ones, Series 1
[A test card is on every television channel]
Rick:
Absolutely pathetic! There's nothing on at all! Humph! Don't know why we bother to pay our license!
Mike:
We don't.
Rick:
But, haven't we got a license?
Mike:
No.
Rick:
But that makes me a criminal! [thinks about it] Right on! Yeah, this will shake them up at the Anarchists Society! Occupying the refectories! So what? This is the real stuff! I'm a fugitive! A desperado! I'm going to form a new union society, right? With me as president! "People Who Don't Pay Their TV Licenses Against the Nazis!" [takes out pad and pen and starts writing] This is only the beginning!
Vyvyan:
What are you going to do, Rick? Burn your bra?
Rick:
[look at Vyvyan flatly] Well, someone's got to do it, Vyvyan! It's very easy to sit on your backside, isn't it?
Vyvyan:
Not if you haven't got a bottom.
