  • This scene, for one:
    [Désirée drinks Champagne and belches loudly]
    Citizen Camembert: [disgustedly] Ooh! Charming!
    Désirée Dubarry: Well I can't 'elp it. It's the bubbles! They get lodged in me chest.
    Citizen Camembert: [glaring at her cleavage] Yes. There's room for a few lodgers in there.
  • Sir Rodney launching himself through a window by tree catapult.
  • In disguise as French aristocrats that escaped the guillotine, Désirée and Citizen Camembert have this conversation:
    Citizen Camembert: [watching Désirée struggle to stand upright in the carriage] What's the matter with you?
    Désirée Dubarry: It's these long hills and English country roads. I shan't be able to sit down for a week.
    Citizen Camembert: [disgustedly] I wish you wouldn't be so vulgar.
  • The climatic fight scene deserves special mention.
    • Citizen Camembert's Skewed Priorities over his soldiers destroying his furniture and scalding them as bleed out onto the floor. He stops a blade fight between Duc de Pommfrit and one of his soldiers to move a vase that they're fighting nearby, only for it to smash when a soldier's body lands on it.
    • Duc de Pommfrit's Chandelier Swing fails, and he crashes through a window. Citizen Camembert's not happy.
      Citizen Camembert: You'll pay for that window! You'll pay it, you hear?!
    • "This could never've happened before the revolution!"
  • At Sir Rodney's meeting with the disguised Citizen Camembert, Désirée and Citizen Bidet, he comments about how he and Lord Darcy "got a little behind" on their work, and Désirée takes the phrase as a compliment, while Citizen Bidet and Citizen Camembert glare at her in annoyance.
  • Citizen Camembert orders Citizen Bidet to get his bag to gather up essentials, to which Citizen Bidet tries to pick up Désirée, making Citizen Camembert snap "Not that one!"
  • Désirée interrupting Russian Roulette by jumping on Citizen Camembert to stop him from firing.
    Désirée Dubarry: [in tears] Don't kill [Sir Rodney]!! I love him! [grabs onto Citizen Camembert's waist, loosening his trousers]
    Citizen Camembert: [aggressively, as his trousers fall to his knees] GET OUT OF THE WAY, WOMAN!!
  • When Sir Rodney's in disguise as a life insurance salesman:
    Sir Rodney (Black Fingernail): Are you fully covered?
    Citizen Camembert: [worried] I hope so!
    • invoked "This runner's got a kink in it. That's the problem... you have got a kinky runner!"
  • Citizen Bidet's Door Judo, crashing through the window and out of the building into a pig trough in the garden.
  • Sir Rodney and Jacqueline's external internal monologues to the audience when they realise they're in love with each other that occur after every sentence they say.
  • When the disguised Josephine is thought to be the Black Fingernail, Citizen Robespierre is unconvinced. Then he removes her clothes, exposing her in her nightgown:
    Citizen Robespierre: Have any of you ever seen... a man looking like that?
    Citizen Camembert: [dramatically] Well, it's marvellous what you can do with a bit of padding. (he reaches for her breast) If I could just have a bit of a prod...
    Citizen Robespierre: NO, YOU CANNOT HAVE "A BIT OF PROD"! IMBECILE!!! ADMIT IT!! This Fingernail's made a monkey out you yet again!
