Favorite Young Mr. Graceanism

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Young Mr. Grace has done and said some hilarious stuff in his time he was CEO of Grace Brothers, What were some of your favorite sayings or actions from the old rascal ????

[Tiddles]

I loved when he tried on the sunglasses and stated he looked like an old poof in them. :lol:

His eyesight always improves when he's reading the washing instructions on a pair of knickers worn across the room by a pretty secy, but sadly all eyecharts are in Polish.

[Very Young Mr Grace]

I loved when he only donated 25 pence to Mrs. Slocombe's birthday present collection! He thought she was 100 years old, too!

In that same phone conversation he held the phone upside down. This caused Mr. Rumbold to yell through the phone. Once Mr. Grace corrected the situation he told Rumbold "Well you don't have to shout!!". :mrgreen:

[Lucas The Tucas]

From ACIAGAA.REST...

He is on the phone and says "I GOT TO GO NOW THERE IS A MAN WITH A PROPELLER ON HIS HEAD"..about that...

And welcoming Mr. Grainger as the new junior...

And playing with the trains...

Lucas :D

[Tiddles]

"I'm very busy, now Rumbold.....go boil your head." :lol:

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

I love the "Polish Eye Chart" thing myself !!!! But my favorite Graceinism is from "By Appointment" when he is repeating what Humphries is reading to him and how he does the ending of every sentence with a high pitched word like Humphries would AND when he's reading his Queen's speech by himself and can't see it so he just says "Something something something....something." :lol2: :lol2:

[Tiddles]

How about "It gives me great pleas-SHUH!!!!!!" :lol:

[Pamela]

I loved when he tried on the sunglasses and stated he looked like an old poof in them. :lol:

LOL Love those two.

My favourite though, is "sooner him than me" :lol:

[dazzlestar14]

~When he is stuck in the lift with a 19 year old secretary. Shut the door!!!! :lol:

[Tiddles]

Secretary: Oww!! :shock: :oops: . Was that you Mr Grace?!!
Young Mr. Grace: What?
Secretary: Pinching my bottom!!
Young Mr. Grace: Well it sounds like me.

:lol:

[frankdicer]

Secretary: Oww!! :shock: :oops: . Was that you Mr Grace?!!
Young Mr. Grace: What?
Secretary: Pinching my bottom!!
Young Mr. Grace: Well it sounds like me.

:lol:

That was the one I was thinking of!!

How bout

Ooo nurse, my leg's gone....Old Mr. Grace.

Or when Mrs. SLocombe wants to stay in the store....(The Apartment I think, Greg will know)

YMG: You're very determined about this rise aren't you.
Oh well all right, you can bring 1 bag and your nighty but you will have to
leave very early in the morning before the staff arrives (OWTTE)

[Very Young Mr Grace]

He also noticed that Rumbold had odd socks on......... :mrgreen:

[dazzlestar14]

Ah! I forgot about that one YMG! Thanks!

[frankdicer]

He also noticed that Rumbold had odd socks on......... :mrgreen:

I believe to be technically correct YMG's secretary noticed the odd socks.

just nit picking....sorry.

[Tiddles]

Nope. No secy. said it. :wink: Mr. H. commented on the odd socks first while retrieving something from under Rumbold's desk. Later Mr. Grace said something about the mismatched foot coverings when he was stuck in the elevator with his secy. The lift came up at Rumbold's "sock level."

I said I was nitpicking....Happy Returns is the epi.
the line mr grace uses goes like this:
YMG: Mr. Rumbold My secretary just seen something she never expected to see.
R: Oh Really,sir...
YMG:...Yes, You've got odd socks on.

Mr Grace says it, the secretary notices it (actually, Mr. Grace does notice it too, its just that the secretary, tells him.)

[dazzlestar14]

Yes, you are correct Frank. They close the lift doors as to YMG's request. Then the doors open and YMG says: "Mr.Rumbold, my secretary's just seen something she's never expected to see! You've got odd socks on!" So yes, the secretary did notice them. Quite quickly too, the lift doors barely close so she must be a fast talker. :lol:

Editing to say that I didn't realize Frank had just made a comment almost exactly like the one I just made. Sorry about that!

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Or when Mrs. SLocombe wants to stay in the store....(The Apartment I think, Greg will know)

Right you are FD !!!! IT was "The Apartment":thumb:
YMG - "You're very determined about this raise aren't you ?? Very well, you can bring a small bag with a nightie but you'll have to leave very early in the morning, before the servants arrive."


How about "It gives me great pleas-SHUH!!!!!!"
That's the one !!! :lol2:

[Old Mr. Grace]

YMG: By the way Rumbold, will you be dancing?

Rumbold: I'll be on the piano, sir.

YMG: I once saw Fred Astaire dancing on the piano. Looked very
dangerous to me.

Rumbold: I mean I'll be on the keyboard, sir.

YMG: I don't like the sound of that. I don't like the thought of your great big feet all over our keyboard.

Rumbold: My hands will be on the keyboard.

YMG: Really? Dancing with your hands on the keyboard? Not even Fred Astaire could do that. Although he did once dance on the ceiling.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

[Lucas The Tucas]

I like the that one from "The Apartment" also FD.....

:lol:

Lucas :D

[Tiddles]

I don't like the thought of your great big feet all over our keyboard.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

"You've all done very Wellie !!!!!" :lol2:

[Jeff Humphries]

Wagons ho !!! :lol:

[frankdicer]

"You've all done very Wellie !!!!!" :lol2:

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

[frankdicer]

I'm in hot water with my nurse!

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

YMG - "The ultimate weapon... a picture of Mr. Humphries in bed with Mr. Willits."

[frankdicer]

YMG - "The ultimate weapon... a picture of Mr. Humphries in bed with Mr. Willits."

that is a classic!

[Tiddles]

Okay....here are some classics!

"For what you are about to receive, may you be truly grateful."



"It's not my birthday, it's yours, you silly old fool."


"I'm eighty, with short white hair and uh, hardly any bust at all."

"I shall work until I drop."

And then he "drops"!! :lol:

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

YMG - "So that's your wife Rumbold? (pointing to picture on Rumbolds desk)

Rumbold - "Yes it is Mr. Grace."

YMG - "Thank God for that !!"

[Old Mr. Grace]

YMG: Who's this?

Rumbold: This is Captain Peacock's wife, sir.

YMG: Sooner him than me.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

YMG: Who's this?

Rumbold: This is Captain Peacock's wife, sir.

YMG: Sooner him than me.

Love that one too !!!!:lol:

[dazzlestar14]

I cheer him on when he says that line, lol!

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

"Nobody is irreplaceable you know, except her (Miss Bagwell) if she goes on playing her cards right !!":lol2:

[Very Young Mr Grace]

:lol:

One of my favorite "Lucas" moments too !!! :lol:

[dazzlestar14]

I love it when he calls Mr.Lucas an idiot.
He sometimes comes across as being kind of naive, and then he surprises us. I love that old man. :mrgreen:

[sonosun]

Good ole Young Mister Grace. The employees love him. He kisses them on one cheek and then spanks them on another.:lol2:

[frankdicer]

I love it when he calls Mr.Lucas an idiot.

Yeah, he got it the old fashioned way... he inherited it !!! :lol2:

[dazzlestar14]

I don't know Frank, he did get fooled over the Vicuna coat, so who knows.

[sonosun]

Sometimes I wonder why our Mr Lucas didn't sell Young Mr Grace his own hat as well.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

and cane....

[Mr. Rust of Audio-Visuals]

"Hello, sonny."

"Blackmail?"

His stern "DEAL with it, Rumbold!"

(YMG is napping while Rumbold works out how to keep Mrs. S. and Mr. H from leaving.)
RUMBOLD: "We could give them more money."
YMG: (wakes up.) "Oh, I wouldn't do that!" (goes right back to sleep.)

"You're a cheeky young monkey, aren't you?"

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

YMG - "Old men all get short sometimes Rumbold, no go and boil your head !!!"

Gotta love that one !!!!

[msmith897]

This is one time I can't join the crowd...I don't like the old guy.
EXCEPT.........when he tells off Rumbold then I love him! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

I would love to have adopted him as a "Grandfather". :mrgreen:

[dazzlestar14]

Me too!
Just think of all the Christmas Gifts!

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

YMG - "You know I go to the club on Thursdays."

Rumbold - "The Bridge Club?"

YMG - "No, the Strip Club !!!"

[frankdicer]

How bout when he asks to have the yahting news sent up after Mrs. Slocombe inadvertantly talks him out of getting married again.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

I loved him in the "Texan" outfit in "The Old Order Changes"

"Wagons Roll !!!!"

[dazzlestar14]

He was so adorable in the Texan outfit! I loved that one.
Another one that comes to mind is when he makes his appearance on the Coco Club commercial. He starts pouring the champagne and it misses the glass.

Mr.Grace: "I'm going to need a smaller bottle or a bigger glass!"

:lol: :lol:

YMG - "It's not my Brithday, it's you're Birthday you fool !!! No wonder the store losing money !!!"

The last words we ever hear...... :cry:

[dazzlestar14]

And what excellent words those were to end their characters off in. :wink:

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

And also very depressing !!!!

[dazzlestar14]

Well, any words would have been depressing, they were wonderful characters. Well one of them anyways, lol.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Amen Bruther Dazz !!! :thumb:

[Ronald]

All my favorate Young Mr. Grace moment's are mentioned. But I also loved this one:

From Wedding Bells (Mrs. Slocombes things that YMG wants to marrie her):

Mrs. Slocombe: 'You are never going on holiday are you?'
YMG: 'No, that's true'
Mrs. Slocombe: 'Off course it's diffucult for you, suppose you go with your yacht into the Carrabino, there are a lot of young girls off you.'
YMG (very exiting): 'Really?"
Mrs. Slocombe: 'Yes, and there all after one thing you know, just because you're rich.'
YMG (even more exiting): 'Really?'
Mrs. Slocombe: 'Yes, yes. But if you're married to a lovely wife, you don't have that. Than you can loke after each other, carrying about each other, wenn you're sick, that sort of thing'
YMG (not at all exiting any moor, he looks even a little bit angry): 'Thank you, Mrs. Slocombe, I brought you here just to choose a ring'
Mrs. Slocombe (now she's very exiting): 'Oh, Mr. Grace, that big one (takes the ring on her vinger)'
YMG: 'It's for Miss Robinson you know, I had my eyes on her from some time, almost three weeks'
Mrs. Slocombe (now she's very dissapointed): 'Miss Robinson?'
YMG: 'Yes. But I would like to thank you, Mrs. Slocombe. Because, you've put me right off the idea off marriadge.'
Mrs. Slocombe: 'But that's the last thing I would.'
YMG: 'Wenn you comes to my time of life, you need the help of an older women.'
Mrs. Slocombe (something angry): 'Feel free!'
(...)
Later in the discussion:
YMG: 'Is there anything else?'
Mrs. Slocombe: 'I don't suppose there is.'
YMG: 'Take a cake on the way back.'
Mrs. Slocombe leaves and says: 'You're to kind Mr. Grace.'
YMG: 'Oh, Mrs. Slocombe?'
Mrs. Slocombes (comes back, I think with some hope again): 'Yes, Mr. Grace?'
YMG: 'Could you go to the newspaper agent and ask him to bring me the yachting news?'

Brilliant performance again from Bennett.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

I can't beleive that in looking back, I haven't mentioned my all time favorite Graceinism !!!!
