"Listen Very Carefully, I Shall Say This Only Once"!

Michelle “of the resistance” Dubois.
Michelle Dubois is a fictional character in the situation comedy ‘Allo ‘Allo. The part was played by the actress Kirsten Cooke.
She is a young, dark-haired woman who usually dresses in the unofficial “uniform” of the Gaullist French Resistance, a tan trench coat and black beret. Unlike the other French characters, she speaks fluent English, and is the only local person in Nouvion who can communicate with the two downed Royal Air Force men who are hidden in the town.
Her recurring catch-phrase (delivered in a faux-French accent) is: “Listen very carefully, I shall say this only once.”
Although, unlike most of the other women in the show, she is not particularly attracted to René Artois, she pretends to be in love with him at one point to get him to cooperate with her schemes; René himself is not enthusiastic about the Resistance or the Germans, and would much prefer, given his own inclinations, to just run his cafe and have affairs with his waitresses.

it's funny each time LOL
Special attention should be paid to the over-pronunciation and emphasis given to 'once' in that sentence because it sends me in to hysterics EVERY DAMN TIME.
It's more like, "Lissawn wewy kehffuwwey, I shall say ziss onwy WANCE!"
Funny french accents are just comedy gold.
