"Nationality?"

"Aargh, you've got nothing to worry about there. It's blood you're thinking about, isn't it? British, British undiluted for 12 generations. 100% Anglo-Saxon with perhaps just a dash of Viking. But nothing else has crept in. No, anybody gets any of this will have nothing to complain about. There's aristocracy in there you know! You want to watch who you're giving it to, like motor oil, it doesn't mix, if you get my meaning."

"Mr. Hancock, when a blood transfusion is being the family background is of no consequence."

"Oh come now, surely you don't expect me to believe that, after all East is East …"

"And blood is blood, Mr. Hancock, the world over. It is classified by groups and not by accidents of birth!"

"I did not come here for a lecture on communism, young lady!"

"I happen to be a conservative!"

"Well kindly behave like one, Madam!"

From "The Blood Donor" - Tony Hancock
