Rimmer: Look, I’ve got my engineering re-sit on Monday, I don’t know anything. Where’s my revision timetable?
Lister: Wait, is this the thing in all different colours, with all the subjects divided into study periods and rest periods and self-testing time?
Rimmer: It took me seven weeks to make it. I’ve got to cram my whole revision into one night.
There is tragedy in this passage as Rimmer who wants so hard to succeed completely self-sabotages himself in preparation rather than doing. I first heard this during my university years and is obviously funny, yet it sayed with me because of how human it feels.
