Fawlty Towers, Series Two, Episode 6, Basil The Rat wrote:Basil: Manuel, I'm sorry. This is an emergency. Important. See? The health inspector's just been. Things wrong with hotel. We put them right, by tomorrow. All right? Now, Manuel. Go up to the roof. The roof?
Manuel [Manuel gets up and leaves the room]: Sí
Basil: In the... [Basil stops him] ...No, no. I haven't told you yet. [Manuel comes back in] Now, go to the water tank.
Manuel: Water.
Basil: Water tank. Water on roof in tank? Yes?
Manuel: Sí, sí, sí.
Basil: Two dead pigeons, in tank, take out.
[Manuel gives Basil a puzzled look.]

Basil: This isn't difficult Manuel. This isn't a proposition from Wittgenstein. Listen, two dead pigeons, water tank.
[Manuel laughs.]

Basil: What is funny?
Manuel: How they get up there?
Basil: How they...They flew up there.
[Manuel starts laughing again and makes pig noises while flapping his arms.]

Basil: Now stop...Will you just pull yourself...Oh, not pigs, pigeons.
Manuel: ¿Qué?
Basil: Pigeon, pigeon. [Picks up a dictionary.] Like your English. [Flicks through dictionary to find pigeon.] Piaton, pifle, pig, pigeon. Pigeon
Manuel: Pig-e-on. Ah.
Basil [Sees Manuel's pet rat]: What is that?
Manuel: Is my hamster. Pig-e-on.
Basil: Hamster?
Manuel: Sí, Sí. No, no, no. Pigeon
Basil: Manuel, it's a rat.
Manuel: Pigeon.
Basil: It's a rat.
Manuel: No, no, no, no. Is hamster.
Basil: Well, of course it's a rat! You have rats in Spain, don't you? Or did Franco have them all shot?
Manuel: Is hamster.
Basil: It's a rat.
Manuel: No, I think so too.
Basil: What?
Manuel: I say to man in shop, "Is rat." He say, "No, no, no. Is a special kind of hamster. Is filligree Siberian hamster." Only one in shop, he make special price, only five pound.
Basil: Have you ever heard of the bubonic plague, Manuel? It was very popular here at one time. A lot of pedigree hamsters came over on ships, from Siberia...

Pigeon with ketchup? What a waste of Lygon St cuisine! I'm sure that there's a better choice of sauces in Chinatown.
