Tony Marshall: Nelson

Quotes 

• Sam Tyler : Large whiskey, please.

  Nelson : [Speaking in a Jamaican accent]  Drink ain't gonna fix things. What am I saying? I run a pub. Of course it will fix things!

  Sam Tyler : I'm lost, Nelson, I'm really lost.

  Nelson : [Speaking in an east London accent]  You ain't lost, pal. You're where you are, and you have to make the best of it. It's all you can do.

  [Sam looks surprised] 

  Nelson : Keep to yourself, eh? Folks just seem happier with the other Nelson.

• Nelson : What can I get you, man, raise your spirits?

  Sam Tyler : Diet Coke, please.

  [blank look on the landlord's face] 

  Sam Tyler : Just kidding, a pint of bitter.
