Only Fools and Horses Quote
Rodney: : There's a Rhi... Loose in... As in rhinoceros??
Del Boy: That's right. "There's a Rhino Loose in the City!"
Uncle Albert: What's it about, Del?
Del Boy: Well, it's about this rhinoceros, right, escapes from a zoo and it heads straight for London. And after two or three days, they find like all these dead bodies lying about and no-one knows who's done it. So, they get hold of this private detective, you know, like a sort of Charlton Heston type geezer to try and solve the crime. Now the zoo keeper happens to be a very attractive woman, so before you know where you are, old Charlton is giving the sort what for, so that's your romantic interest!
Rodney(still slightly stunned) A rhinoceros?
Del Boy: Yeah! But they don't know it's missing.
Rodney: But... how can you not know? If you've got a rhinoceros, right and one day it ain't there - you tend to know it's missing.
Del Boy: Don't be a plonker all your life Rodney! She ain't got just the one rhinoceros, she probably had two or three rhinoceroses.
Uncle Albert: And how's it escape?
Rodney: Oh, squeezes through the bars, most probably.
Del Boy: Now don't you start getting saucy with me Rodney. I'm only trying to help you.
Rodney: I don't believe this! Nobody knows it's escaped? What about the eight million people living in London? Don't none of them spot it?
Del Boy: Yes! But the ones who spot it - they're the ones who get trampled to death!
Rodney: And what about all the others? The people in offices, the people in caffs, the people sitting on the tops of buses? It's a rhino, Del!
Del Boy: He only comes out at night!
Uncle Albert: What is it, a vampire rhino?
Del Boy: No, it is not a vampire rhino. That is stupid that is, innit, eh?
Del Boy: That's right. "There's a Rhino Loose in the City!"
