Gargle Blaster/Quotes

"The effect of drinking a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster is something akin to having one's brain smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped around a large gold brick."

- Official Guide entry, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

"Maître Folace: Problem is, the ordinary fare got hijacked by the kids. What do we do? Do we take risks with the bizarre?... This won't make anyone younger. (he pulls out a bottle)

Raoul Volfoni: Good, we're saved.

Maître Folace: Saved... we'll see!

Jean: What, did you pull out the vitriol?

Paul Volfoni: Why are you saying that?

Maître Folace: Hey!

Paul Volfoni: Yet, it has an honest look.

Monsieur Fernand: Without being frankly dishonest, at first glance, like this, it... looks a bit weird.

Maître Folace: It's from the Mexican's time, during the golden age... however, we had to stop the fabrication; some clients were getting blind. Ah, this was causing no end of troubles!

(they prudently drink)

Raoul Volfoni: Gotta say... it's brutal!

Paul Volfoni: (tears in his eyes) You were right, it's a weird one, hu?

Monsieur Fernand: I've known a Polish woman who drank this for breakfast. (drinks, winces) Still, you gotta admit: it's rather a men's drink... (he coughs)

Raoul Volfoni: Do you know what it's reminding me of? That's kind of funny thing we were drinking in a low dive of Bien Hoa, not very far from Saigon. "The Red Shutters"... and the boss woman, a blonde bombshell... What was her name already, Goddamn?

Monsieur Fernand: Lulu la Nantaise.

Raoul Volfoni: You knew her?

(Monsieur Fernand rolls his eyes)

Paul Volfoni: I find it taste like apples.

Maître Folace: There's some.

(later, they're drunk)

Maître Folace: And... And... And... 50 kg of potatoes, a bag of sawdust, he could get you 25 liters of 3-stars from the alembic; a real wizard, Jo. And that's why I'm allowing myself to command at some memory smear-spreaders that they should better shut up their stinky mouth!

(...)

Paul Volfoni: You can say whatever you want, there's not just apples... there's something else... it wouldn't be, by any chance... beetroot? Hu?

Monsieur Fernand: Yes, there's some too."

"Bartender: Okay -- for you, something special. This is krogan liquor -- ryncol. You'll set off radiological alarms after you drink it. Should I pour you a quad?

"Richie: What's in this?!

Eddie: Brandy...

Richie: Good!

Eddie: ...meths, Pernod, paintstripper, Mr. Sheen, brake fluid and Drambuie!

Richie: Drambuie?! Oooh hoo-hoo ooooh!

Eddie: Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right. You've gotta put something in for the birds, haven't you?

Richie: (taking a whiff) Jesus! How are you alive?

Eddie: I may very well not be!"
