Hitler was a very peculiar person, wasn’t he. He was another dominator, you know, Hitler. And he was a wonderful ballroom dancer. Not many people know that, he was a wonderful little dancer, he used to waltz around with a number “8” on his back. The only trouble was, he was very short, and people used to shout out to him when he was dancing, and say, “Wie kurz du bist – how short you are!” And this of course enraged Hitler. He flew into a tantrum, and he gave up ballroom dancing, and took up wholesale raping and pillaging instead. I like gothic hoards.

You know, I go to the theatre to be entertained. I don’t want to see plays about rape, sodomy and drug addiction… I can get all that at home.

Pete: If you look at his ducks, you see the eyes follow you around the room.
Dud: You noticed that?
Pete: Yer, when you see sixteen of his ducks, you see thirty-two little eyes follow you round the room.
Dud: No, you only see sixteen because they’re flying sideways and you can’t see the other eye on the other side. He never does a frontal duck.
Pete: No, but you get the impression, Dud, that the other eye is craning round the beak to look at you, don’t you. That’s a sign of a good painting, Dud.

Fuck Yeah! Peter Cook – The only Peter Cook that matters
