Hugh: Sir!

Stephen: Jacobson, what the hell am I going to do with
your ass?

Hugh: My ass, sir?

Stephen: Can you think of one goddamn reason why I
shouldn't kick your ass all the way back to New
Mexico?

Hugh: Well, sir if this concerns ...

Stephen: You know what the hell it concerns, Jacobson.
It concerns your ass! What does it concern?

Hugh: My ass, sir.

Stephen: Do you recall what it was I said to you the
last time you were in here?

Hugh: Well sir. You told me to move my ass, and haul my
ass, and not to sit on my ass, because if I did, you
would personally rearrange my ass.

Stephen: Uh uh. Wrong, Mr Jacobson. I was not going to
rearrange your ass - I was going to boil your ass
in a bag, and have your ass for breakfast.

Hugh: That's it, sir. Have my ass for breakfast.

Stephen: Read that sign, Jacobson.

Hugh looks at a sign on Stephen's desk.

Hugh: "The buck stops at my ass."

Stephen: See, that's why I have this star Jacobson. Because
my ass is on the line.

Hugh: The bottom line ... ?

Stephen: The bottom line.

Hugh: I understand.

Stephen: Well, I am glad you got your ass straight on that
one. Now Jacobson, I've got myself a problem.

Hugh: A problem, sir?

Stephen: Yup. Seems that some goddamn college boy on
the fifth floor wants a piece of my ass ...

Hugh: Your ass, sir?

Stephen: You bet your ass, my ass. If I could just get
my hands on this guy's ass, his ass is history.

Hugh: Whose ass would that be sir?

Stephen: The guy who's got his ass in my face, Jacobson.

Hugh: Sir?

Stephen: Yes, Jacobson?

Hugh: How does my ass fit into all of this?

Stephen: It's very simple, Jacobson. You are aware that
your ass is mine?

Hugh: It is sir?

Stephen: Oh yes, your ass is mine, mister. The day you
joined the army, you signed your ass over to me.

Hugh: I get it, sir.

Stephen: Oh you do, do you?

Hugh: This guy wants a piece of your ass, so you're
thinking that, being as my ass is yours, maybe you
could give him a piece of my ass as a way of saving
your ass.

Stephen: Shut your ass, Jacobson. Nobody likes a smart
Alec. Now boy ...

Hugh: Sir?

Stephen: Got your ass with you?

Hugh: Yes sir.

Hugh plops the bag on the desk. Stephen looks into the bag.

Hugh: With respect, sir, don't jerk my ass around.

Stephen: Mm. Nice piece of ass.

Pay your reputation dues assholes!

The car-hitting scene is in the 'Gourmet Evening' episode.

I clearly remember the car hitting scene from when the show was first aired. It's a bit over-exposed now, but it was the funniest thing at the time.

The Major is my favourite thing about Fawlty Towers. Ballard Berkeley is so good at that role, and my favourite is probably his rat-hunting scene.

All of the words & expressions in my first post were taken from posts by Americans on this board. Can't remember who said that & where.

Abbreviations = packaged peeled oranges that at one point you would spot in Sansburys.In other words........laziness personified.

dumb ass
grab ass
gettin' some ass
assfixiashun

most used by me-
ass head

I'm a top, thank you.

Loose Lips Sink Ships, ass.
Wait, no.

Also, Americans say "holidays" instead of "holiday", and "could care less" when it should be "couldn't care less".

pookie, i think the holidays thing has to do with the winter holiday containing Christmas, kwanzaa, hannakuh, new years, new years eve, etc....and instead of 'holiday' , we usually say vacation...

That's what I like. A logical answer!
