Young German guest: May we have two eggs mayonnaises, please?
Basil: Certainly! Why not, why not indeed? We are all friends now, eh?
Elder German guest: A prawn cocktail.
Basil: All in the Market together, old differences forgotten, and no need at all to mention the war
SORRY! Sorry. What was it again?
Elder German: A prawn cocktail.
Basil: Oh, prawn! That was it! When you said "prawn", I thought you said "war". Oh! Oh, the war! Oh, yes, completely slipped my mind! Yes, I'd forgotten all about it. Hitler, Himmler, and all that lot
Oh, yes, completely forgotten it, just like that. Sorry. What was it again?
Elder German: A prawn cocktail!
Basil: Oh, yes, Eva Prawn. Yes, of course. And Goebbels too, he's another one I can hardly remember at all.
Young German: Und ein pickled herring!
Basil: Hermann Goering, yes, yes, and, uh, von Ribbentrop, that was another one.
Elder German: And four cold meat salads, please.
Basil: Certainly. Well, I'll just get your hors d'oeuvres
hors d'oeuvres vich must be obeyed at all times vithout qvestion! Sorry! Sorry!
Polly: Mr Fawlty, will you please call your wife immediately?
Basil: Sybil? Sybi She's in the hospital, you silly girl!
Polly: Yes, call her there!
Basil: I can't! I've got too much to do. Listen, don't mention the war! I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it alright.
Basil: So! It's all forgotten now, and let's hear no more about it. So, that's two egg mayonnaise, a prawn Goebbels, a Hermann Goering, and four Colditz salads.
Basil: Now, wait a minute. Well, I got a bit confused here. Sorry! I got a bit confused, 'cause everyone keeps mention the war. So, could you what's the matter?
Elder German: It's all right.
Basil: Is there something wrong?
Elder German: Will you stop talking about the war?!
Basil: ME?! You started it!
Elder German: We did not start it!
Basil: Yes you did you invaded Poland!

and he does an impression of Hitler, then he says "Wait, I'll do the silly walk"
and he continues his impression of Hitler, now as a Nazi soldier doing "the silly walk" out of the dining room and back in again.
GERMAN: "Please stop it!"
CLEESE: "What's the matter you stupid kraut?"..."You people have absolutely no sense of humor!"
(All from memory, so I may be a little off)

(6,261 posts)The Anniversary is probably my favourite, but it's been a while since I've seen any of them.
ETA: I just looked up the rated episode listings on IMDB and I see that that one is listed last... Still how many series can rate an 8.5 for the least favourite episode?
