The Mystery of the Lost Chord (1982)

Terry Scott: Penfold

Quotes 

• Baron Greenteeth : Interesting. A duel between the world's greatest detective and the greatest evil genius in the universe.

  Leatherhead : [chuckles]  Nice, gaffer.

  [more laughter] 

  Leatherhead : Who's that?

  Baron Greenteeth : Me, you simpleton! Baron Greenteeth.

• Penfold : Oh Danger Mouse, it's a genius you are.

  Danger Mouse : Well my dear chap, someone has to be. Now get some sleep, I may need your modest help tomorrow.

• Danger Mouse : Let me explain, old chap. Someone has guessed, goodness knows how, who we are, right?

  Penfold : Right, Danger Mouse.

  Danger Mouse : So the monster, really a mechanical masonry mover, was sent to destroy us while we slept, right?

  Penfold : Right, Danger Mouse.

  Danger Mouse : So I slipped swiftly and silently from my bed, and using my amazing strength, turned the hotel round.

  Penfold : Turned the ho - but I never heard a thing.

  Danger Mouse : Well I simply did it quietly, Penfold. Right?

  Penfold : Right, Danger Mouse.

• Danger Mouse : The lost chord, Penfold is a lethal combination of musical notes. If Greenteeth finds it's secret, he could hold the world to ransom.

  Penfold : Due, Chief, I don't like the sound of that.

  Danger Mouse : As for the stolen bagpipes and the shrieking Ben Nevis...

  Penfold : Yes, Chief?

  Danger Mouse : My superintelligent guess would be that those half a million bagpipes are being built into a diabolical double device to produce the lost chord.

  Penfold : Oh, due!

  Danger Mouse : And that he's started to test it on that noble Scotish mountain.

  Penfold : The rotten whatsit!

• Danger Mouse : Good show. That's the end of Greenteeth. The world is safe from the lost chord.

  Penfold : Oh, Danger Mouse. That's fantastic. Where'd you learn to play like that?

  Danger Mouse : Something I picked up from an Indian mystic.

  Penfold : Oh, I didn't know you wore lipstick.
