00:00Uh...
00:02Uh...
00:04Well...
00:05Well...
00:06Well...
00:30Good morning.
00:37Good morning.
00:38Good morning.
00:39Right. Can I help you?
00:41Yes, your face my ass.
00:44No, I said, can I help you?
00:47Oh I see, yes, I'd like some information please.
00:50Yes?
00:51Well...
00:52Well what?
00:53I'd like some information please.
00:55Yes but what sort of information would you like?
00:57Well, what sorts have you got?
00:59I beg your pardon?
01:01What sorts of information have you got?
01:03Well, we have all sorts.
01:04Such as?
01:05Such as the average weight of an adult rabbit.
01:09I mean, I never knew that.
01:15You never knew what?
01:16I never knew rabbits had an average weight.
01:18Oh, yes.
01:19Have you got any other information?
01:21Well, yes, but you have to ask me questions, you see.
01:23Oh, and then you'll tell me the answers.
01:25If I ask the questions.
01:26Right.
01:27Right, what's the name...
01:28Yes?
01:29What's the name of the man who taught me English at school?
01:34I'm afraid that really isn't the kind of thing...
01:36Ah, ah, yeah.
01:38All right, his name was Colin Drip.
01:41That's right!
01:43Drippy, you used to call him.
01:44Drippy.
01:45God, that takes me back a bit.
01:47Oh, now, yeah, there was a bloke in our class.
01:49What was his name?
01:50Adams, Attersham, Bennet, Conner...
01:54Hodgson.
01:55Oh, Hodgson, that's it, Ned Hodgson.
01:57God, he used to drive old Drippy up the wall.
01:59Do you know what he used to do?
02:01Yes.
02:04I wonder what happened to him.
02:06He married a girl called Susan Trite,
02:08and they now live in Fenton, near Worcester.
02:10I don't think I ever met her.
02:12Yes, you did.
02:13July the 4th, 1972, on top of a number 29 bus
02:16going down the Garboldisham Road.
02:18She told you about the Bay City Rollers,
02:20and you were in love with her until the following Wednesday.
02:27You've got quite a lot of information, then.
02:29We do try to provide a service.
02:31Anything else?
02:32Yes, um...
02:34Can you tell me...
02:35Yes?
02:37Can you tell me how to be happy?
02:40How to be happy?
02:41How to be happy.
02:42I'm afraid that information is restricted.
02:46But you do have it?
02:47Oh, yes.
02:48But it's restricted?
02:49That's right.
02:50Contented?
02:51Yes, thank you.
02:53No, have you got any information on how to be contented?
02:56Oh, I see. Yes, we do have information on that.
02:58Well, can I have it, please?
03:00I'm afraid it is a secret.
03:01Oh, go on.
03:02All right.
03:03The secret of contentment is...
03:05Yes?
03:06Not to ask any questions.
03:10Well...
03:12I haven't actually met her, of course.
03:15It's one of my biggest regrets, in many ways.
03:18In fact...
03:21Er...
03:22One of those new ones that gets black and white.
03:25But I was away on business when we got married,
03:28and we've both been so frantically busy since then.
03:33It doesn't have to be like this, you know.
03:35I know what she looks like, of course.
03:37And the vehicle does belong to you, does it, sir?
03:39Yes.
03:41Were you driving it at the time?
03:43Yes, I was, yes.
03:44All right.
03:45Just have your name, please, sir?
03:46Right, sir. Hold on a second.
03:48Ready?
03:49Yes.
03:50My name is Derek.
03:58What are you doing?
04:00That's my name.
04:01What is?
04:02This.
04:03Derek.
04:07What?
04:08Derek.
04:11Is your name?
04:12Yes.
04:13What kind of name is that?
04:15Well, it's my name.
04:17A bit unusual, isn't it, Mr...
04:22If I had a pound for every time someone had said that to me...
04:26How do you spell...
04:29Mr...
04:31It's as it sounds.
04:35Yeah, but if you wouldn't mind spelling it for me...
04:37Well, I mean, can't you...
04:38I would be very grateful if you would spell it for me.
04:40All right, then.
04:41N-I-P-P-L-hyphen-E.
04:51Nipple.
04:53Beg your pardon?
04:54Nipple.
04:56Nipple? Where? What are you talking about?
04:59N-I-P-P-L-E...
05:01Hyphen-E.
05:02Hyphen-E, in my book, spells nipple.
05:05It does not spell...
05:09Have you gone mad?
05:10What are you talking about?
05:11I thought the modern policemen were supposed to be
05:13a highly trained law enforcement unit.
05:15You can't even spell.
05:16All right, Mr Nipple, if I can have your address, please.
05:22Your address, please.
05:23You're talking to me?
05:24Yes.
05:25You want to know my address?
05:26Yes, please.
05:27Or do you want to know Mr Nipple's address?
05:29Your address, please.
05:31My address, right.
05:32My address is number 22...
05:36Things live.
05:37Watch it.
05:38What?
05:39Just watch it.
05:40Watch what, for heaven's sake?
05:41Do you realise that assaulting a police officer
05:43is a very serious offence?
05:44Yes, I imagine it probably is. Very serious.
05:46But giving your address to a policeman, on the other hand,
05:48probably isn't so serious. Or is it?
05:50Perhaps the law's changed since I last looked.
05:52Perhaps the Home Secretary's had to take stern measures
05:54against the rising tide of people giving their address
05:56to policemen whenever they're asked.
05:58All right, all right.
06:00Let's just check this with you, shall we, Mr...?
06:03Yes?
06:05Your address is 22...
06:10Kings Lynn.
06:12Oh, no, no. What's the matter with you?
06:15It's 22...
06:17Kings Lynn.
06:19Oh, I'm sorry, I thought it was 22...
06:23Kings Lynn.
06:25Well, it isn't.
06:26Sorry, I can't believe me own handwriting.
06:28Well, get a typewriter.
06:30Well, if only we could afford a typewriter, sir.
06:33Do you know, it's funny, from some angles, it looks like 22...
06:40Kings Lynn.
06:43That was too...
06:46Yeah, well, like you say, sir, we should get a typewriter.
06:50That was too hard.
06:52Well, you must admit, difficult address to get the hang of, isn't it?
06:55Never mind the frigging sketch, that was too hard, that really hurt.
06:58Oh, please don't.
07:02He's just a child, really.
07:05From another angle, it might easily look like a liquid, until you drink it.
07:09So let's talk instead about flexibility of language, linguistic elasticity, if you like.
07:14Yes, I think I said earlier that our language, English...
07:17As spoken by us.
07:18As we speak it, yes, certainly, defines it.
07:20We are defined by our language, if you will.
07:23Hello, we're talking about language.
07:26Perhaps I can illustrate my point, let me at least try.
07:30Here's a question.
07:32Here's a question.
07:39What is it?
07:40Ah, well, my question is this.
07:43Is our language, English, capable...
07:46Is English capable of sustaining demagoguery?
07:51Demagoguery?
07:52Demagoguery.
07:53And by demagoguery you mean?
07:54By demagoguery I mean demagoguery.
07:55I thought so.
07:56I mean highly charged oratory, persuasive, whipping up rhetoric.
08:01Listen to me, listen to me.
08:02If Hitler had been British, would we, under similar circumstances,
08:07have been moved, charged up, fired up by his inflammatory speeches,
08:10or would we simply have laughed?
08:12Is English too ironic to sustain Hitlerian styles?
08:16Would his language simply have rung false in our ears?
08:19We're talking about things ringing false in our ears.
08:22May I compartmentalise? I hate to, but may I? May I?
08:27Is our language a function of our British cynicism, tolerance,
08:32resistance to false emotion, humour and so on,
08:34or do those qualities come extrinsically, extrinsically,
08:39from the language itself?
08:40It's a chicken and egg problem.
08:42We're talking about chickens, we're talking about eggs.
08:45Let me start a leveret here.
08:47There's language and there's speech.
08:51There's chess and there's a game of chess.
08:56Mark the difference for me. Mark it, please.
08:59We've moved on to chess.
09:01Imagine a piano keyboard.
09:0388 keys, only 88, and yet, and yet,
09:06hundreds of new melodies, new tunes, new harmonies
09:09are being composed upon hundreds of different keyboards
09:11every day in Dorset alone.
09:14Our language, Tiger, our language,
09:17hundreds of thousands of available words,
09:20trillions of legitimate new ideas,
09:23so that I can say the following sentence
09:25and be utterly sure that nobody has ever said it before
09:28in the history of human communication,
09:30hold the newsreader's nose squarely, waiter,
09:34or friendly milk will countermand my trousers.
09:39Perfectly ordinary words,
09:42but never before put in that precise order.
09:46A unique child delivered of a unique mother.
09:53And yet, oh, and yet, we all of us spend all our days
09:57saying to each other the same things time after weary time.
10:01I love you, don't go in there, get out,
10:03you have no right to say that, stop it, why should I?
10:06That hurt, help, Marjorie is dead.
10:09That surely is a thought to take out for a cream tea
10:12on a raining Sunday afternoon.
10:14So to you, language is more than just a means of communication.
10:16Oh, of course it is, of course it is, of course it is, of course it is.
10:19Language is my mother, my father, my husband, my brother,
10:22my mother-in-law, my mistress, my checkout girl.
10:25Language is a complimentary moist lemon-scented cleansing square
10:28or handy freshen-up wipe net.
10:31Language is the breath of God.
10:33Language is the dew on a fresh apple.
10:35It's the soft rain of dust that falls into a shaft of morning light
10:38as you pluck from an old bookshelf
10:40a half-forgotten book of erotic memoirs.
10:44Language is the creek on a stair.
10:46It's a spluttering match held to a frosted pane.
10:49It's a half-remembered childhood birthday party.
10:51It's the warm, wet, trusting touch of a leaking nappy,
10:54the hulk of a charred panzer,
10:56the underside of a granite boulder,
10:58the first downy growth on the upper lip of a Mediterranean girl.
11:01It's cobwebs long since overrun by an old Wellington boot.
11:06Night-night.
11:22America
11:27America
11:32America, America, America, America
11:37America
11:44America, America, America, America
11:50America
11:55The States
12:01The States
12:07The States, America
12:12America
12:16Well, thank you. That was the unmistakable sound.
12:25Right now, my next guest wrote his first novel way back in 1972.
12:30The Year of Flare, Suzy Quatro, The Glitter Band, all that stuff.
12:34He's been writing ever since, got a new one coming out now.
12:36He's a bit of a cult dude with the Sapporo and Sashimi set.
12:39So let's now say a big hi to Richard Morley.
12:43APPLAUSE
12:51Sit down.
12:53Take the white off your paragraphs.
12:57Now, this novel, what's it called?
13:00Well, the novel I've just written is called The Emperor of Disgust.
13:03Emperor of Disgust. Well, that sounds pretty heavy.
13:06Heavy? So, what's it about?
13:09Well, haven't you read it?
13:11Well, I mean, for the viewers at home, obviously they haven't read it.
13:14Well, how can they? It hasn't been published till tomorrow, has it?
13:18Well, it's not very easy to describe the plot exactly,
13:20cos it's quite complicated. Yeah, highbrow stuff, I'll bet.
13:23So, where's it set?
13:25Well, it's in a number of different countries over several centuries.
13:30Tell me, do you use a word processor?
13:34It's something I've always wanted to know about writers.
13:36Do you use a pencil, pen, typewriter, what?
13:38Well, I do use a word processor, yes.
13:40I used to use a typewriter, but I discovered that...
13:42Yeah, how many novels have you had, in fact, actually published?
13:46Well, The Emperor of Disgust will be my seventh novel.
13:49Seventh? So, you take it pretty seriously, then?
13:52Well, yes, I do. Yes, I take it very seriously.
13:55It's my living, you see, it's my job.
13:57Where do you get your characters from? Real life?
13:59Well, it's, I suppose, a sort of amalgam, in a way.
14:02You're going to put me in one of your books, are you?
14:05Well, I think I might, actually, yes.
14:07Yeah? Yes.
14:10I have to say, I think you're one of the most repellent
14:12and flatulent-minded people I've met.
14:14In many respects, ideal fodder for a novelist.
14:20I don't know what you're laughing at.
14:21I find you vapid, irrelevant and a waste.
14:25Yeah, now, seriously, Richard...
14:27I am being serious. I am being serious,
14:29you repulsive ball of spittle.
14:31And who told you you could call me Richard? Hmm?
14:34You know, I mean, you're rotting in hell
14:35and you haven't the first idea about it, have you?
14:38Your last book?
14:39Well, you don't know anything about any of the books I've written
14:41except what that daffy researcher you sent round tells you.
14:44Your head is so full of pappy, drivel and greasy bigotry
14:47and, you know, crass, brash ignorance,
14:50there's not room in it left for a single idea, is there?
14:53This is brilliant.
14:56Oh, it's brilliant, is it? I suppose it's good television, is it?
14:59I suppose it shows you at the cutting edge of dangerous broadcasting.
15:02Well, let me tell you, I find you about as dangerous
15:04as a chocolate hobnob.
15:08Look at you, sitting there like a fat smug...
15:11Fat smug... Oh, I've forgotten the next bit now.
15:14No, no, look, Vince, we go live on air in ten minutes,
15:18he's supposed to know this, come on!
15:21Let's have a script, script, come on. I'm sorry.
15:23Ten minutes, come on.
15:25It's a fat smug git who's just won a BAFTA.
15:27Who's just won a BAFTA, that's right.
15:28Look at you, sitting there like a fat smug git
15:30who's just won a BAFTA.
15:32Have you any idea... Have you any idea how degrading...
15:35...how degrading to the human spirit people like you really are?
15:38All right, then, I'll ask you, you know, where the books on sale actually cost.
15:42Then we'll play you out after that, a bit of chat,
15:45blah-de-blah-de-blah-de-blah.
15:47And what's next?
15:50Hello, Control.
15:52Oh, hello, Tony. How are you today?
15:55Very well, thank you, as it happens, Control.
15:57Good.
15:59Yes.
16:01So, what can I do you for?
16:04Well, this just came through Flash from Berlin, sir.
16:07I thought perhaps you might like to take a look at it.
16:09Flash from Berlin, eh?
16:11Yes, perhaps I'd better had.
16:13We've got quite a few important agents in Berlin, haven't we?
16:16So it might be something quite urgent, I expect.
16:18Yes.
16:28I see Valerie has decoded it for me.
16:30That's very kind of her.
16:32She's done me quite a lot of work. I must remember to thank her.
16:35That would certainly be a nice gesture, sir.
16:39Well, I don't know if you had a chance to glance at this
16:42before thoughtfully bringing it in to me, Tony,
16:45but it's quite an urgent communication from Firefly,
16:48our network chief in Berlin.
16:50Yes, I did just have time to glance at the code name.
16:53Firefly is under deep cover.
16:55Has something quite important happened to make him break it?
16:58Yes, I'm afraid it has.
17:00It seems as if the entire network has been penetrated by an enemy agent.
17:04Oh, no.
17:06I'm afraid so.
17:08It seems that Glowworm was shot trying to escape into the west.
17:12Firefly himself is holed up in a safe house
17:15somewhere towards the east of that city.
17:17So the whole network's been blown.
17:19I'm afraid so.
17:21It's a thundering nuisance.
17:23It really is thundering.
17:25Yes. I'm severely vexed, I don't mind telling you.
17:30I expect a coffee would come and welcome them.
17:33Well, it couldn't hurt, could it?
17:35No, not one. I'll get Valerie onto it.
17:38That's ever so kind of you, Tony.
17:42Let's hope it's not going to be another one of those days, A-Control.
17:45Like Thursday.
17:47Oh, that's all we need. I don't know.
17:50See you then, Tony. Bye.
17:53I wouldn't sack it.
18:00MUSIC PLAYS
18:21What are you doing?!
18:23What on earth are you doing?!
18:26What do you mean?
18:28What's that goth cap there for?
18:30Well, it's for the money.
18:32Money?! What money? What are you talking about?
18:34What are you doing?!
18:36Well, I'm busking, aren't I?
18:38Busking? Busking? What busking?
18:40Busking what?!
18:41Well, I play the mouth organ and people give me money.
18:44They give you money?!
18:46People give you money for playing the mouth organ like that?!
18:50They actually give you money?!
18:52They pay you?!
18:54Well, some of them do. There's no harm in that.
18:56No harm in that?!
18:58No harm in that, he says?!
19:00You sit there sprawled against a paving stone,
19:03blowing through spittle,
19:05and people actually pay you?!
19:07It's unbelievable!
19:09Oh, look, if you don't like it, you don't have to listen or give me anything, you know.
19:12Not like it?! How could I like it?!
19:14It's the most pathetic noise I've ever heard!
19:17And people give you money for it?!
19:19Well, it's kindness as well, isn't it? They're just being kind.
19:22Just being kind?! Just being kind?!
19:24What do you mean, just being kind?!
19:26If they were just being kind, they'd put a bullet through your head, wouldn't they?!
19:30That's what I call being kind!
19:32Put you out of your misery!
19:34You're very insulting, you know.
19:36Yes, I know! Of course I'm insulting!
19:38I'm very insulting indeed!
19:40Especially to smelly, squalid, poor people
19:43who can't play the harmonica properly!
19:45We share the same planet. Why can't you let me be?
19:48Share the same planet?!
19:51Have you gone mad?! Share the same planet?!
19:53What are you talking about?!
19:55The planet I inhabit is full of fast cars, restaurants, holidays in Barbados and fine wines!
20:01Your planet is full of bottles of meths, howling harmonicas and grimy doss houses!
20:06It's not the same planet at all! How dare you suggest otherwise?!
20:09Well, you may not think it's the same planet, but it is!
20:12You couldn't have one without the other!
20:13Couldn't have one without the other?! What are you talking about?!
20:15Are you saying I depend upon you?!
20:17Of course you do!
20:18All your wealth is entirely propped up on the rotting hulk of my poverty!
20:22And one day, it'll give way and you'll come crashing down with it!
20:25Rotting hulk?! Rotting hulk?! Have you gone mad, rotting hulk?!
20:29Is this communist talk?!
20:32Are you a communist?! Do you want me to call a policeman?!
20:35It's not a crime to be a communist anyway, I'm not!
20:37Not a crime to be a communist?!
20:40Of course it's a crime to be a communist, this is 1989!
20:44Communists are the enemies of democracy!
20:47They should be locked away!
20:48Well, what's so good about democracy?
20:50What's so good about democracy?!
20:53What's so good about democracy, ladies and gentlemen?!
20:56Democracy is freedom of thought, and belief, and speech!
21:00That's what's so good about it, you degraded heap of smelliness!
21:03Get out of my way before I set fire to you!
21:07Get yourself a job, clean yourself up!
21:10It's demeaning to have the harmonica played at one by a heap of litter!
21:15Here, hold on, hold on.
21:17Hold on, hold on? What do you mean, hold on?
21:19Have you ever seen a television programme called On The Streets With Bibby?
21:23On The Streets With Bibby?! On The Streets With Bibby?!
21:28Oh, you mean the one with the hidden cameras?
21:31That's the one, yeah.
21:32Oh!
21:33You're not Bibby Peeves, are you?
21:40Are you really Bibby Peeves?
21:43No.
21:45Well, I might have been.
21:48Today we're going to be concentrating on the hands.
21:51Now, we use our hands so often in our everyday lives
21:54that it's all too easy to take them for granted
21:57and just forget about them altogether.
21:59And that could obviously be fairly dangerous.
22:01So, first of all, as always, make sure you're absolutely comfortable.
22:05Now, this is very important, otherwise you may find it rather uncomfortable.
22:09So, feel comfortable.
22:12Very relaxed.
22:15Now, just watch me this time, and then we'll try and do it together.
22:19We start with the right hand on the knee,
22:22and we move the hand like this.
22:28And rest.
22:31Now, you'll have noticed that I did the exercise twice.
22:34It's very important that you don't try to do it twice in one go.
22:38You should always aim to build up the routine gradually.
22:41Never overdo it.
22:43Now, try it with me this time.
22:47And rest.
22:50Now, be very careful when you put your hand back on your knee
22:52because you could so easily bruise yourself.
22:55It's not a bad idea to cover the knee with a few sheets of cotton wool
23:00so as to avoid internal hemorrhaging.
23:03And if you don't have any cotton wool,
23:05a continental duvet will do almost as well.
23:08But do please make sure it's a soft one.
23:10Now, if you have any doubts about your ability to perform this exercise,
23:14do please consult your GP.
23:16But make sure he's a gentle GP.
23:19Tomorrow we'll concentrate on the left hand.
23:23I'm sorry, I do not speak English.
23:28Calm down, John. We're not going to get anywhere by running...
23:31Don't tell me to calm down!
23:33Dammit, Peter, I want answers and I want them fast!
23:36Answers? A bit late for all that, don't you think?
23:39What the hell's happened to you, Peter?
23:41You know as well as I do there's no such word as a bit late for all that,
23:45don't you think?
23:46Agreed.
23:47So, shoot, what have we got here?
23:49Marjorie wants control of Derwent Enterprises.
23:52And from where I'm standing, she doesn't want it.
23:56And from where I'm sitting, she's going to get it.
23:58Marjorie? Jesus, Peter, Marjorie's just a kid.
24:02Tell that to the board.
24:04You watch me. I might just do that.
24:07Well, good luck to you.
24:09Meaning?
24:10Meaning they'll laugh in your face, John, like they did me.
24:13Marjorie's got them eating out of her hand.
24:15Then I'll go to old man Derwent himself.
24:18Oh, come off it, John!
24:20No-one's even spoken to old man Derwent in years.
24:23A man's a recluse.
24:24It's over, I tell you. Marjorie's won and she hasn't even fired a shot.
24:28Listen to me, Peter. Marjorie may have won the war,
24:31but she hasn't won the battle.
24:35Dammit, John, you're up to something. I've seen that look before.
24:38You're damn right I'm up to something.
24:40Dammit!
24:41What?
24:42What are you up to?
24:43Something.
24:44I'm up to something.
24:45I thought so.
24:46I want you on my side for this, Peter.
24:48I'm yours, John, you know that.
24:49I haven't finished yet.
24:50It's absolutely mandatory that you buy into my way of working.
24:54Things could get a little hairy over the next 48.
24:57You know me, John. Hairy is as hairy does.
24:59Good day.
25:01Now, call O'Neill. Get him to postpone the meeting.
25:04What shall I tell him?
25:05Tell him any damn thing you like. Just buy me some time.
25:11It's good to have you back, John.
25:13Save the pretty speeches till later on, Peter.
25:15We've got a long night ahead of us.
25:17Just like old times, eh?
25:18Sure, Peter, sure.
25:19You know, it's funny.
25:20I drove through High Wycombe just the other day.
25:23Yes, Peter, here, get me O'Neill.
25:25And fast!
25:26And fast!
25:27Say again?
25:28Dammit!
25:29Why?
25:30O'Neill's out of town, can't be reached.
25:32Dammit to hell, I'm back!
25:33Damn bastard, double damn!
25:35Want to try Amsterdam?
25:36No.
25:37But, I mean...
25:38Come on, Peter, you're not thinking straight.
25:40Amsterdam is too obvious.
25:42Marjorie was never obvious.
25:44That's why I loved her.
25:47My God, here's a turn-up.
25:49I never thought I'd hear an old war horse like you talk about love.
25:52Love's nothing to be afraid of, Peter.
25:54You don't need a Harvard MBA to know that the boardroom and the bedroom
25:58are just two sides of the same agenda.
26:02I wonder...
26:04Try me.
26:05Shoot.
26:06Put it together.
26:07If we were to act fast,
26:09a block of part-paid ordinaries funneled through Geneva,
26:13a carefully staged pre-release of IDL preference stock
26:16through the back door,
26:18underpinned by a notional rights issue,
26:20who the hell would be wincing then?
26:23Dammit, John, it's starting to add up.
26:26You want me to try Sydney?
26:27Stay awake, Peter.
26:29He'll be in Australia by now.
26:31Dammit!
26:33But wait a minute.
26:34Won't they trace it back to us?
26:35A ploy like that? No.
26:36It'll have Seagrove's handwriting all over it.
26:39And back again.
26:41But that still leaves us with Marjorie.
26:44Yeah, Marjorie.
26:46What's she after?
26:48I gave up trying to understand Marjorie years ago, Peter.
26:52Yeah, women.
26:53Marjorie's not women, Peter.
26:55No, of course not, John. I beg your pardon, I meant no offence.
26:58Something I've always been meaning to ask you.
27:00How did you manage to keep Nancy for so long?
27:06I've never been Nancy, John.
27:09Your wife, Peter.
27:11Oh, Nancy! Oh, you know.
27:14You take the rough with the smooth, you do your best,
27:16you cover all the angles.
27:18You keep on grafting long hours.
27:20You think you know, but of course you don't.
27:22They talk about stress, I tell them I'm married to it.
27:25You have a daughter, I believe.
27:27Yeah, yeah, Henrietta.
27:28Diddy, Diddy, I'm sorry to hear that.
27:31That must have hurt.
27:33That must have hurt like hell on a jet ski.
27:35You never had kids of your own, I believe.
27:37You're wrong, Peter, you're so damn wrong.
27:39Oh, I beg your pardon?
27:41You're standing in my children right now.
27:46I think I may have misheard that, John.
27:48The company, Peter.
27:49Oh, the company!
27:50Yeah, I gave this company everything I've got.
27:53Dammit, New York should have run by now!
27:55Relax, John, it's still running.
27:57Yeah, but it's not going to stay early for long.
27:59New York will come through, John, I know they will.
28:01I hope so, I hope so.
28:04There are six million people out there.
28:07Really? What do they want?
28:11Who knows?
28:12Peter?
28:14What?
28:15I say we go with it.
28:16Dammit, I agree.
28:20If New York rings, tell them I'm married to it.
28:24If New York rings, tell them I'm a virgin.
28:27Right, I'll get on to Susan.
28:29Now, let's get the hell out of here.
28:32You sure?
28:33Yeah, yeah, yeah.
28:34I don't think even we two can maintain a level of intense work
28:38without coming down for a space.
28:40Dammit, you're right.
28:41Besides, ah, I could use a drink.
28:53Thank you.
