Johnny English quotes

Page 1 of 2
[picks up a pen on the secretary's desk]

This reminds me of the old service issue ballpoint. I remember every agent used to carry a pen that looked just like this. Completely innocent to the untrained eye but, click it twice... [clicks the pen twice and a missile shoots out of the pen and hits the secretary, who collapses]

Lorna Campbell

What are you going to do, Johnny? Sit in this grotty flat feeling sorry for yourself, or are you gonna get out there and save your country?

I'm gonna sit in the flat.

Lorna Campbell
[watching Sauvage, who Johnny thinks is a waiter, standing just behind him]

You obviously haven't met our host, Monsieur Sauvage.

No, thank God! You know, I think I'd rather have my bottom impaled on a giant cactus than exchange pleasantries with that jumped-up Frenchman. As far as I'm concerned, the only thing the French should be allowed to host is an invasion.

[he chuckles, then notices Sauvage standing behind him]

Sorry, can I help?

Pascal Sauvage, jumped-up Frenchman.

Lorna Campbell

Lorna Campbell. I've been so looking forward to meeting you.

Enchant?.

[Johnny stammers in embarrassment]

And of course, you're Johnny English. I've heard all about you.

Pegasus

Everything in order, English?

I think you'll find it's more than just in order, sir. You are now entering the most secure location in the whole of England. [a bomb detonates behind him]

Pegasus

It's an unmitigated disaster, English!

I couldn't agree more, sir.

Pegasus

Well we need to get these jewels back, and fast! Tell me about this assailant, because when they searched the building later, there was no sign of him.

Well, the man was clearly a professional. He must have escaped while the Queen was being sedated.

Pegasus

But he's the only lead we've got, English. Oh, this is Roger from Data Support. He'll produce a likeness based on your description. So tell us, what did this man look like?

Well, he was... big.

Roger

Hair colour?

[looks around the room for ideas and spots a fruitbowl]

Orange.

Pegasus

Orange?!

And curly. Frizzy, actually. An eye patch, broken nose, very few teeth. Two I would say at the most, and a scar on his cheek... in the shape... of a banana.

Roger

Which cheek?

Both cheeks. They sort of met in the middle.

Pegasus

Are you sure about this, English?

[Pegasus shows him the likeness; it resembles a cross between a pirate and a clown]

AH! Oh, that's him. An uncanny resemblance.

[after landing on the wrong building, which happens to be a hospital, and taking the medical staff hostage]

Now, perhaps you could direct me to your evil paymaster.

Doctor

What are you talking about?

You know exactly what I'm talking about. Where is the office of Pascal Sauvage?

[everyone looks out of the window; Jonny turns to see a giant SAUVAGE sign on the next building with Bough staring at him from the window] [over com-link]

Are you coming over here in a minute, sir?

[English has infiltrated a hospital, mistakingly believing it to be Sauvage's HQ]

My God, what have they done to you?

Elderly Man

They've taken some of my blood.

Bastards.

[Johnny and Bough are in a dark tunnel]

It may be pitch black, but we can still see.

How?

The Benodin monks of the Al Magreb Mountains developed a system of sonic chanting.

I see, sir. And?

The sound of their chanting would bounce back off any obstacles, and using their highly tuned ears they could paint a mental picture of the path ahead.

Brilliant.

However, you must always sing in E-flat.

[singing]

E-E-E-E flat, E-E-E flat, E-flaaaaaaat! Thaaaaank you for the music, the songs I'm singing--

Is it working, sir?

Extremely well, thank you.

[singing]

Thanks for all the joy that-- [Johnny hits the tunnel wall] Oh!

Archbishop
[the Archbishop prepares to coronate Sauvage]

I crown you--

Archbishop
[Johnny swings from the chandelier and forces Sauvage out of the seat, seconds before the Archbishop lowers the crown onto his head]

--King.
[the whole world watches, astonished by what has just happened]

[after accidentally being crowned king; points to Sauvage after a pause]

Arrest that man... and lock him away! [the crowd cheers as four guards take Sauvage away]

A good agent doesn't need gadgets. The only gadgets I've ever needed are a sharp eye, a finely tuned ear and a slightly bigger brain than is strictly necessary.
