Really, one of my all-time favorite Absolutely Fabulous lines.
What about yours?

All my favorite ones are about fat drunk people....
How anyone less than perfect in weight was a punchline...
I loved that....
Made my ribbons twirl...

Eddie: Oh, God. Why am I so fat?
Saffie: You're not SO fat.
Eddie: I am! Why?
Saffie: Well, for start, you eat too much, you drink too much and you take no excercise.
Eddie: Darling, darling, please. It's far more likely to be an allergy to something, you know... You know, sort of a build-up of toxins, or something, or hormone imbalance, isn't it? Hmm? And also, sweetie, did you know I've got a very heavy aura? Did you know that? That's why animals love me, darling.
Saffie: They just see you as something to hibernate in.

Eddie: You're very thin, aren't you, Bubble
Patsy: She's emaciated, like her brain!
Bubble: I know, it's awful. I can eat as much as I like and I just don't get fatter. I cannot put on weight.
Eddie: Oh, how terrible...
Bubble: I know. I wish I was more curvy. I wish I had breasts like yours.
Eddie: No, you don't.
Bubble: Yes, I do.
Eddie: No, you don't.
Bubble: I do! Great, big, large, pendulous breasts. I'd like to fill a bra.
Eddie: No, you wouldn't. Just stop saying you do. You don't know what it feels like. You think, just because you feel better with a couple of oranges stuffed down your cups, that you know what it feels like. Well, you don't. It's hell.
Bubble: I don't have to wear a bra. I just stuff the oranges down me vest.
Eddie: Listen, you little bookmark. You know I only employ you because you make me look better, don't you?
Bubble: I've remembered what she's called. Penny Caspar-Morse!

I love that one. But my second favorite is: "Is it a dwarf?" Ah, that Bubble.

Eddie: What you don't seem to realise is that inside of me there is a thin person screaming to get out
Mother: Just the one dear?

When Saffy, in a fit of annoyance, tells Eddie that she's a lesbian, prompting Eddie to embrace her screaming "hurrah!" Saffy of course has to burst Eddie's bubble, and Eddie is terribly disappointed:
"I was hoping there'd be one interesting thing about you."

There's that one odd little moment in the episode where they're all in France on vacation. The accommodations aren't what was expected, and Eddy is not enjoying herself in the rustic setting, and tries to explain why to Saffy:
"I know I should be enjoying it, darling. It's like a joke no one's let me in on. It's more your type of fun."
One of the few moments where Eddie displays anything like introspection in the series.

My third favorite, from Edina: "Had two husbands, one was too short, one was gay. Still sweetie, if you want to know how to peck a dwarf on the cheek as he's walking out of the house to the disco in your dress, then I'm your girl."

Eddie - I want total sensory deprivation and backup drugs.
Saffie - My life just passed before my eyes.
Eddie - What was it like? A Bergman film without the jokes?
Eddie - Mother, are you still on the computer?
Gran - Yes dear, sometimes you get in a porn loop and just can't get out.

Saffy: It's a sticker with a green tree on it.
Edina: Yes.
Saffy: What does that mean?
Edina: Kind to trees, sweetie.
Saffy: How are they kind to trees?
Edina: Well they ain't made of wood, how kind do you want!?

Patsy picks up a magazine and looks at the cover:
"Meg Ryan a superstar? I'll be the judge of that."
