Quotes 

• Bertie : You can't be a successful dictator *and* design women's underclothing.

  Jeeves : No, sir.

  Bertie : One or the other. Not both.

  Jeeves : Precisely, sir.

• Bertie : The problem is, I've forgotten that jolly useful word you unearthed.

  Jeeves : Sir?

  Bertie : The one that always reduces Spode to a quivering mass of apology. I have a feeling I may need it.

  Jeeves : You are referring, I think, sir, to "Eulalie."

  Bertie : Eulalie, that's it! I wish you'd tell me what it meant. I mean, I have no complaints, but it's a bit like holding up a bank and not knowing whether your gun is loaded or not.

  Jeeves : I fear I'm not at liberty to disclose the details, sir. You may rest assured, however, that the weapon is loaded.

• Bertie : [blocked on the nightstand by the dog]  Er, Stiffy. Would it be too much to ask you to attach a lead to the little fellow's collar, thus making the world safe for democracy?

  Stiffy : Yes, it would.

  Bertie : Wouldn't you want to save the lives of two fellow creatures?

  Stiffy : No, I wouldn't. Not if they're men. I loathe all men.
