Peter Sallis: Clegg

Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Clegg : You're looking very thoughtful, Truly. You look like a man who's thinking about life and death and what it's all about.

  Truly : Well, actually, I was thinking about how much I used to like a kipper for my breakfast. But they tend to repeat.

  Clegg : There you are, you see. Ha-ha. Why do kippers repeat? It's one of your fundamental philosophical problems.

  Truly : What did Bertrand Russell say about it?

  Clegg : Well, he mixed with the left, as you know, so naturally he blamed the Americans.

  Truly : Did you ever have kipper for breakfast?

  Clegg : Yes, I did, once. Huh. It was on honeymoon; we were at a hotel. I thought: "Why not? Everything else is weird."

  Truly : I used to have a digestive system like an incinerator; I could consume anything. Well, you had to in the police; I mean you grabbed a meal when you could. First week in the vice squad you lost your appetite. Huh. But after that I could digest concrete, Which was just as well as that was what the former Mrs Truelove did best.
