Lister : You ever see "The Flintstones"?
The Cat : Sure.
Lister : Do you think Wilma's sexy?
The Cat : Wilma Flintstone?
Lister : Maybe we've been alone in deep space too long but every time I see that show, her body drives me crazy. Is it me?
The Cat : I think, in all probability, Wilma Flintstone is the most desirable woman who ever lived.
Lister : That's good, I thought I was going strange.
The Cat : She's incredible.
Lister : What do you think of Betty?
The Cat : Betty Rubble? Well, I would go with Betty... but I'd be thinking of Wilma.
Lister : This is crazy. Why are we talking about going to bed with Wilma Flintstone?
The Cat : You're right. We're nuts. This is an insane conversation.
Lister : She'll never leave Fred and we know it.

Lister : [Lister and the Cat have just arrived in the Backwards universe; trying to communicate with the Truck Driver] No, sorry, mate, we don't speak Bulgarian, you speak English?
Truck Driver : [in Backwards talk] Sorry, I'm English, are you Bulgarians?

Lister : Look at the flip side of the coin, its not all good. Take someone, like say, Saint Francis of Assisi. In this universe he's a petty-minded little sadist who goes round maiming small animals! Or Santa Claus, what a bastard!
Rimmer : Eh?
Lister : He's just a big fat git who sneaks down chimneys and steals all the kids' favourite toys!

Rimmer : Once you get over the initial shock, things actually make a lot more sense this way round. There's no death here. You start off dead, you have a funeral, then you come to life. As each year passes, you get younger and younger until you become a newborn baby. Then you go back inside your mother, who goes back inside her mother, and so on, until eventually we all become one glorious whole.
Lister : Rimmer, you already are one glorious hole.

Kryten : We want to stay.
Lister : We can't stay. Look, I'm 25 now. In 10 years time I'll be 15! I'll have to go through puberty again, backwards!
The Cat : Imagine that. Your gajimbas will suddenly rise back into your body and the next thing you know, you're singing soprano in the school choir!
Lister : And worse than that, in 25 years I'll be a little sperm, swimming around in somebody's testicles! I mean, pardon me, but that's just not how I saw my future.

[they're about to leave the backwards version of Earth]
Rimmer : Where's the Cat?
Lister : He won't be long, he's, you know, in the bushes.
[a few moments later Rimmer and Lister realise what's going to happen]
Lister : We've got to stop him!
[the Cat pops up from the bushes with a disgusted look on his face. He staggers over to them]
The Cat : Don't ask.

Lister : You know what they say - when in Rome... do as the Snamor do!
-
Lister : It's not a bar-room brawl, it's a bar-room tidy - UNRUMBLE!
