Judgments on Celebrity Relationships and Appearances
William
So what do you think? Good move?
Honey
Good move. When all is said and done, she's nothing special. I saw her taking her trousers down and I definitely glimpsed some cellulite down there.
Bella
Good decision. All actresses are as mad as snakes.
William
Tony, what do you think?
Tony
Never met her, never want to.
William
Brilliant. Max?
Max
Absolutely. Never trust a vegetarian.
William
Great. Thanks. Brilliant.

I was called and I came. What's up?

That painting isn't the original, is it?

William
Yes...sort of...
Bernie
That's nice.
William
What?
Bernie
Well, you know, anyone saying they want to go out with you is...pretty great...isn't it?
William
It was sort of sweet, actually- um, I mean, I know she's an actress and all that, so she can deliver a line, but she said she might be as famous as can be, but also...that she was just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her. Oh, sod a dog, I've made the wrong decision, haven't I? Max, how fast is your car?
[pause; Spike nods. Another pause]
