Johnny English

Ah, the Heckler and Koch G-36. Quite deadly in the right hands.

Johnny English

A good agent doesn't need gadgets. The only gadgets I've ever needed are a sharp eye, sensitive hearing and a whole bunch of bigger brains.

Johnny English

Pull yourself together, it's only a bit of poo!

Johnny English

The word 'mistake' is not one that appears in my dictionary.

Johnny English

Do you or do you not have tattooed on your bottom the words "Jesus is coming - look busy"?

Johnny English

You might have taken me, Sauvage, but you'll never take England. Not while I have breath in my lungs or a bullet in my gun. [English pulls the trigger, but poo splurts out instead of a bullet]

Johnny English

Good morning, gentlemen! MI7 at your service.

Johnny English

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.

Johnny English
[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]

Johnny English
[speaking to Bough]

Have you heard of the chanting of the Bedouin monks of the Almaghreb mountains?

Johnny English
[speaking to Lorna]

Are you familiar with the shaman throat warblers of the Guatemalan Delta?

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?

Johnny English

I'm gonna sit in the flat.

Pegasus

Everything in order, English?

Johnny 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!

Johnny 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.

Johnny English

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?

Johnny English

Well, he was... big.

Roger

Hair colour?

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

Orange.

Pegasus

Orange?!

Johnny English

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?

Johnny English

Both cheeks. They sort of met in the middle.

Pegasus

Are you sure about this, English?

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

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

Johnny English
[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]

Are you all right, sir?

Johnny English

Yes, I landed on something quite soft.

That was me, sir.

Johnny English

Oh, good.

Johnny English
[Johnny and Bough are in a dark tunnel]

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

How?

Johnny English

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

I see, sir. And?

Johnny English

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.

Johnny English

However, you must always sing in E-flat.

Johnny English
[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?

Johnny English

Extremely well, thank you.

Johnny English
[singing]

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

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

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

Johnny English

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.

Johnny English
[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.

Johnny English
[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.

Johnny English

Bastards.

Johnny English
[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?

Johnny English

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?

Archbishop
[preparing to crown Sauvage]

I crown you--

Johnny English
[Johnny swings on the chandelier and snatches the crown] [fails to grab the banner]

Dammit! [swings back and forth on the wire]

[hands the orb and scepter back to the Archbishop and then springs up from the throne]

Give it back!

Johnny English

No!

That is my crown!

Johnny English

Never!

GIVE IT BACK!!!

Johnny English

Never in a million years, Sauvage!
