Remembering A Single Line

[Avengerholic]

There is one line spoken in The Avengers (and another one in Dept S as it happens), that comes into my mind often, and for no apparent reason what so ever, they aren't even from favourite episodes! It's odd that they have lodged in my brain for decades. They aren't even that memorable. I even find myself using them in daily life. The Avengers "quite so Mrs. Peel, quite so". I know the episode, I know the scene, do you? Any lines stick with other fans for no logical reason?.

[dissolute]

Haha, yes! Too many lines to mention, I use them all the time.

The most common is the most prosaic - every time I shave, even if I don't knick myself, I always say:

Cut myself shaving, rather badly I'm afraid.

[dissolute]

Ooh, is your "Quite so" line from "Who's Who???", one of Lola/Emma's lines ("You're you!") came to me earlier today and made me think about the episode.

No, it's not from Who's Who???

Oh yes, hard to let them come to mind at will, but there are a whole number of lines that are grafted in my memory and now and then pop to the surface.
Frasier and Yes (Prime) Minister are the other shows where this is the case for me.

There are lots of memes on the web of screenshots with the subtitles of films and tv shows of catchy lines, we need to start making these of The Avengers.
