THE MAN WHO IS ALTERNATELY RUDE AND POLITE
Animation sketch links us to a
butcher's shop. Harmless looking city gent enters.
Gent: (M.P.) Good morning, I'd care
to purchase a chicken, please.
Butcher: (E.I.) Don't come here with
that posh talk you nasty, stuck-up twit.
Gent: I beg your pardon?
Butcher: A chicken, sir. Certainly.
Here we are.
Gent: Thank you. And how much does
that work out to per pound, my good fellow?
Butcher: Per pound, you slimy
trollop, what kind of a ponce are you?
Gent: I'm sorry?
Butcher: 4/6 a pound, sir, nice and
ready for roasting.
Gent: I see, and I'd care to purchase
some stuffing in addition, please.
Butcher: Use your own, you great
poofy ponagger!
Gent: What?
Butcher: Ah, certainly sir, some
stuffing.
Gent: Oh, thank you.
Butcher: 'Oh, thank you' says the
great queen like a la-di-dah poofta.
Gent: I beg your pardon?
Butcher: That's all right, sir, call
again.
Gent: Excuse me.
Butcher: What is it now, you great
pillock?
Gent: Well, I can't help noticing
that you insult me and then you're polite to me alternately.
Butcher: I'm terribly sorry to hear
that, sir.
Gent: That's all right. It doesn't
really matter.
Butcher: Tough titty if it did, you
nasty spotted prancer.
Cut to the Grillomat in Paignton. The
announcer is just handing back a cup and saucer to a waitress.
Announcer: (J.C.) Sorry, I asked for
tea. (she takes it grudgingly) Thank you very much. (to camera) Well we've had
the dessert and then, and so the first item, the last item on our menu of fun is
the coffee. (waitress hands him back his cup) No, I did ask for tea.
Waitress: (G.C.) But you just said
coffee.
Announcer: No, no, that was just my
announcement, just a metaphor.
She shrugs and begins to move off. At
the table just behind him we hear her complaining noisily in the background.
Announcer: We come...look would you
mind keeping it down, please...we come as - as I said just now, to the coffee.
Waitress: Here, he said it again!
Announcer: Shut up!
