• Mrs. Ferret : Have you been fired?

  Ferret : [brushing it off]  Fired?

  [laughs] 

  Ferret : Hahaha! Fired? Hahahaha

  [more nervous now] 

  Mrs. Ferret : Then why is the car for sale?

  [we see the car through the house window; in the side window there is a crudely written sign saying FORSALE] 

  Ferret : Oh that? That's a mistake. That's one of Rimmer's cockups. That should read Fors Ale. A new beer we're advertising.

  [as giving a slogan] 

  Ferret : Fors Ale - keeps you hearty and hale.

  Mrs. Ferret : Well I've never heard of it.

  Ferret : And you may never! Very hush hush.

• Ferret : The survey shows that...

  [realizing the survey asked the wrong question] 

  Ferret : ... it shows that 90% of English families do not eat boot polish for breakfast.

• Ferret : [to Mrs Ferret]  Care for a glass of Fors?

• Ferret : They'll be cutting off the electricity next!
