Constable Habib returns with a mop end to act as a wig for Inspector Fowler. Fowler is trying to help Constable Goody prepare for his day in court against a hard-hitting defense attorney. The scene begins with Fowler placing the mop on his head...

Fowler- "So, do you think this helps to set the scene?"

Goody- "Oh yes sir, that's much better... Now just remind me one more time. What are we doing?"

Fowler- "We're pretending to be at the trial of Harry the Spike."

Goody- "And who am I pretending to be?"

Fowler- "Yourself you idiot. You are pretending to be yourself!"

Goody- "How can I pretend to be myself? I am myself. If I pretend to be myself, who am I being whilst I'm pretending, hmm? I might disappear altogether and develop severe personality disorders. And then my mother would come down to this station and do her raving na-na."

Fowler- "Goody, I want you, yourself, to pretend to be yourself, but in a different space and time."

Goody- "Oh I see now. Like 'The X-files' then... In the end, do I turn out to be an alien twin who's infested my body for purposes of conquest and colonization?"

Fowler-"Goody--"

Goody-"--Because that can happen you know. I mean we can't be the only ones, can we?"

Fowler-"I feel confident, Goody, that you at least, are unique."

Goody-"Oh, thank you sir!"

I showed this clip during my final english seminar. My topic was 'Humour and it's Cultural Differences'... to tell you the truth, I just really liked this particular scene, and had an excuse to show it in class...
