Discussion About Angus's Romantic Interest
Doctor Dave And how are you set up, Angus?
Angus Well, her name is Daphne.
Doctor Dave She likes the bearded man, does she?
Angus She does indeed.
Doctor Dave With a tiny knob.
Angus Whatever.
Thick Kevin I've got a tiny knob, actually, and I rather like it. Means I can wear smaller underpants.
The Count Don't know what that means. I didn't understand any of that.
Identifying Robin Hood Through Confused Descriptions
Thick Kevin It's type of bird, but it's wearing a hat. Not so much a hat. Something that's at the top of a coat and attached to the coat and covers the head, but is not a hat.
Young Carl A hood?
Thick Kevin Yes, and now the first name, type of bird. It's a something hood.
Young Carl Robin Hood! Why didn't you just say he lived in Sherwood Forest and has a bow and an arrow?
Thick Kevin Yeah? What? Who are you talking about?
Young Carl Robin Hood.
Thick Kevin I didn't know that.
Alcohol's Effects on Perception and Clarity
Young Carl I think I might have had a little too much to drink last night.
Thick Kevin Actually, I find alcohol rather sharpens my mind.
Young Carl Really?
[amused]
Thick Kevin Yes, and I was thinking...
Young Carl Dangerous.
Thick Kevin ...that it's a bit weird for your mum to send you here to get you on the straight and narrow when this is obviously the worst possible place in the world to do that. There's sex and drugs and alcohol.
Young Carl Without the sex.
Thick Kevin And so I think you're here because it's exactly the right time for a young man, like you, to get to know his dad.
Young Carl And?
[pause]
Thick Kevin I therefore think your dad is somewhere on this boat. And since it's definitely not me, I think it's probably Quentin. Sometimes, just sometimes, I think I should have been called Clever Kevin. What do you think about that?
[rolls over and rolls off the bed]
Cleverness Reflected in Self-Perception
Thick Kevin Sometimes, just sometimes, I think I should be called Clever Kevin'.
Good News Amidst Impending Disaster
Quentin Gentlemen, I have some good news and some bad news. Which would you prefer?
Thick Kevin Good news.
Quentin Okay. The good news is the engine has exploded and we're all going to die.
Dave Hello, Dr Dave, Radio Rock. How is that good news?
Quentin I haven't yet told you how we're going to die. That's the bad news.
Simon How are we gonna die?
Quentin We're going to drown in the freezing waters of the North Sea.
Felicity Dearie me.
Quentin There is a huge hole in the side of the boat and in an unfortunate development, it transpires that the lifeboats are useless.
Thick Kevin Actually, that's quite good for you, isn't it? Cause you can't swim, so you'll die quicker.
[to Angus]
Quentin Sorry.
Defiance Against the End of Pirate Radio
Quentin The day has come. Tonight pirate radio dies. From midnight, we are a ghost ship floating without hope on cold and dark waters. You have done almighty work here. Thank you. But your work is done.
The Count Not mine, sir. I'm an American citizen and I don't give a hootenanny God damn about your nitpicking limey laws. I intend to broadcast from this ship 24 hours a day until the day I die. And then for a couple days after that.
Gavin Cavanagh Not wanting to sound rude or anything, but don't you think that might be an ever so slightly monotonous experience for the listener? What do you say to 12 hours each, noble sir?
Angus The way I look at it, the world couldn't survive without my comedy, and who's going to have the moral backbone to play the Seekers when the mood is right?
Dave They've split up.
Angus I intend to celebrate the back catalogue.
Dave I intend to stop you doing so.
Simon As some of you know, my wife left me after 17 hours of marriage, but I survived that because I live for music. And now, with nothing else to live for, I'm willing to die for it as well.
John I've always lived for news and weather. Happy to die for them, too. Especially the weather.
Bob Silver I've got nowhere else to go.
Harold I have somewhere else to go, but it's Peckham. So I think I'll stick around.
Felicity Can't let everyone starve. And I'm slightly worried where my increasingly powerful sexuality will take me when I return to normal life.
Thick Kevin I've got a very strong suspicion that Felicity fancies me. Not about to go anywhere, just when I'm in with a chance.
Young Carl Obviously, I'm in. You're the only people in the world who like me.
The Clarity of Alcohol in Thought
Thick Kevin I find alcohol rather sharpens my mind...
