DEAYTON: You didn't have a nickname or anything?

DEAYTON: Last month, Roger Moore sold his luxury caravan in Malta.
Asked by the...

MERTON: I visited your caravan the other week, Jimmy.

SAVILLE: Did you really?

MERTON: Oh yes. Interesting what you can find, if you have a bit

HISLOP: He just told you, it was twelve years ago...

SAVILLE: No, I lived in it for twelve years.

MERTON: And fucked twelve year olds. (Audience laugh)

DEAYTON: Here we go again...I'll be backstage if anyone wants me.

MERTON: (Indicating Saville) That's what you said to the kids on
your show, wasn't it? (Audience laugh)

SAVILLE: No, they never did want me.

HISLOP: Not even Sarah Cornley?

SAVILLE: She was an exception.

DEAYTON: Who's Sarah Cornley?

SAVILLE: Sarah Cornley is...

HISLOP: About fifteen grand in damages, wasn't she? (Uncertain
audience laugh)

SAVILLE: That's right.

HISLOP: So if I was going to mention that you threatened to break
her arm if she said anything...

SAVILLE: You'd be very wrong. (Pause) I said I'd break both her
arms.(Audience unease)

MERTON: Fucking hell. I mean, you're just sitting there, all shell
suit and cigar wearing those fucking...I don't know what they are.

SAVILLE: Chrome-plated SC-700 sun-visors, these are. Sent to me
by...

lawyers are involved, tee hee. It doesn't change anything.

DEAYTON: (Visibly out of character) Do you wanna stop, or...?

MERTON: No I don't fucking want to stop. It's all shit! You'll
expect a comedy walkout in a minute, won't you? I mean, big bloody joke
-
I'm going to quote Shakespeare in a minute, how fucking out of
