Palin: You shot him!
Jones: He’s dead!
Idle: He’s completely dead!
Sgt.: I have now eaten the banana. The deceased, Mr Apricot, is now ‘elpless.
Palin: You shot him. You shot him dead.
Sgt.: Well, he was attacking me with a banana.
Jones: But you told him to.
Sgt.: Look, I’m only doing me job. I have to show you how to defend yourselves against fresh fruit.

Palin: Suppose I’m attacked by a man with a banana and I haven’t got a gun?
Sgt.: Run for it.
Jones: You could stand and scream for help.
Sgt.: Yeah, you try that with a pineapple down your windpipe.
Jones: A pineapple?
Sgt.: Where? Where?
Jones: No I just said: a pineapple.
Sgt.: Oh. Phew. I thought my number was on that one.
Jones: What, on the pineapple?
Sgt.: Where? Where?
Jones: No, I was just repeating it.
