• Fletch : Listen, if you want the system to do something for us blokes in here, give us more freedom, better grub, conjugal visits.

  Mr. Barrowclough : Give you what?

  Fletch : Conjugals. From the Latin 'conjugare', meaning 'to have it away'.

  [Fletcher goes on to explain] 

  Mr. Barrowclough : What, you mean the wives just visit and... spend the whole weekend?

  Fletch : Conjugatin', yeah.

  Fletch : That's more than I'm allowed at home.

• [Fletcher and Warren are trying to convince Godber it's all right to cheat] 

  Warren : You know when you're playing draughts with Fletch, and he says he's dropped one and can you please look for it, and you do, and when you get up again you see the board's been re-arranged? That's all cheating is.

  Fletch : Yeah - that's all it is.

  Warren : Oh, so you admit to it!

• Fletch : [sings]  I believe for every bit of rain that falls... someone gets wet.
