A Close Shave quotes

Page 2 of 2

I'm sorry about this.

For what?

Nothing. Just stay away from me, from my shop, and my silly, silly windows.

I...well, I...

[tearfully, voice breaking]

Forget me. I'm no good for you. [walks away] I'm so sorry about Gromit. [sobs as she continues to walk]

Ramsbottom, Wendolene Ramsbottom.

Oh, charming. I'm Wallace...the windows. Is this place yours?

Mm-hmm. My father left it to me, along with his debts, and a few other things. He was an inventor.

Never! Well, I do a bit of that meself.

Oh!

I see they still haven't caught those sheep rustlers yet. Still, you've got plenty of wool, eh?

[stands up]

Your dog's waiting.

Aye. I'd better see to him. The bounce has gone from his bungee. [gives her the rest of the yarn balls]

Oh, they're spanking. You've done a grand job.

Windows are our specialty. [accidentally slams onto the window door]

[Shaun gets sucked up to be dry] [worried]

Oh, do something, Gromit! [then Shaun is put inside the knitting machine] Oh, it's too late now! [clippers buzzing] Turn it off, Gromit! Oh, oh, oh! Oh! Oh! Oh, dear! [the machine collects Shaun's wool to create yarn and creates the sweater, and the other machine puts the small sweater on his head] Brilliant, Gromit! Oh, smashing, this. A bit tight here and there. [then Shaun comes out of the machine, alive and shaved; takes off the sweater] Ah! Looks okay to me. We'll call him Shaun, eh? Come on, Shaun.

[putting Shaun in his Knit-o-Matic]

There. Nothing to fret over. Just a quick shampoo. We've tested this on Gromit. Haven't we, lad?
[Gromit nods wearily]

Well, won't you come in? We were just about to have some cheese.

Oh no, not cheese. Sorry, it brings me out in a rash. I can't stand the stuff.

[gulp]

Not even Wensleydale?

Stop it. Stop it, Preston! Oh, I want no more of this rustling. It wasn't so bad when it was just the wool, but this is evil! Daddy didn't create you for this. You're supposed to protect me!

[Preston locks her away with Shaun on the back of the truck]

Let me out! You're not turning me into dog meat!

[last lines]

What's wrong with Wensleydale? Talking of which, all the more for us. And not a sheep to worry us.

[Wallace lifts the cover of the cheese tray to discover Shaun eating the cheese]

Get off me cheese! Get off! Get off! Gromit? Gromit! Go for 'im! Gromit! Oh! Ahhh! Get off with ya! Oh! Shoosh off!

[The sheep have climbed on top of Wallace in order to help Gromit escape from prison] [as they pull Gromit to safety]

Oh, brilliant teamwork, lads!

[Wallace slips on a bar of soap randomly lying about on the pavement and they all come crashing down]

Whoah!

[to Gromit, after he escapes from jail with the help of Wallace and the sheep]

I suppose you'll have to skip the country, now. A fugitive, eh? You'll be hunted down like a dog.
