At Christmas, Hyacinth: "I love my family. Especially at this time of year...when it gets dark early."

"Why are you wearing that outfit?"
Richard: "Fate."
"I thought it was Hyacinth."
Richard: "For me, they're one in the same."

Hyacinth, about Bruce, her transvestite brother-in-law: "Well, he loves dressing up, it's better that he do it in the theater."

Onslow: "Be yourself. Always be yourself. If people can't penetrate unimportant surface issues they're never going to appreciate your fundamental qualities anyway.
Daisy: "What fundamental qualities?"

Daisy: "Only because you're too bone idle to rush about in a panic."

"Do you know these people?" - The Major of Rose and boyfriend.
Hyacinth: "Hardly."

Rose: "What are you doing?"
Hyacinth: "I don't wish to discuss that with a complete stranger." She turns to the Major. "Riff-raff."

Richard: "The major's booked me in with a complete stranger. Somebody called Porky Hooton."
Hyacinth: "Porky Hooton? Oh that's very public school. Porky Hooton! You must wear something striking Richard to make an impression."
Richard: Well I was going to wear-"
Hyacinth: "Now I will advise you what to wear, dear. I mean this man is probably connected closely with the aristocracy. He may even have a title. They do you know with names like Porky Hooton."

Now you must make every effort Richard, to stun him with your personality."
Do I need to say -'Hyacinth'?

"Ooh! There she is the minx. Gad she's attractive in a weird sort of way."
-The Major

Major: "Dammit, I've scared her, the little flower. I LOVE YOU MRS. BUCKET!!!"
Hyacinth, climbing over a fence: "It's BOUQUET!"

"It's not often our Hyacinth looks like she's been mauled by a bear. That's more like Rose."
-Daisy

Richard: "What's happened to you!?"
Hyacinth: "Typical. Men expect you to look your best at every moment."
