1:09:02
Well, Miss Simpson,
1:09:04
you happen to be wrong.
1:09:06
Our Gabby happens to be
that most reliable, steadfast,

1:09:10
and you-cannot-miss-with-no-matter-
how-badly-you-write-it character

1:09:15
in all popular literature.
1:09:17
The prostitute with a heart of gold.
1:09:20
No, actually,
1:09:22
the P with the H of G is secondmost.
The most is Frankenstein.

1:09:27
Sure, someone who creates
or remakes another human being

1:09:31
and either falls in love with it
or it destroys him.

1:09:35
It can go either way.
1:09:37
That's what gives it
such flexibility.

1:09:42
Miss Simpson, did you ever realise
1:09:45
that Frankenstein and
My Fair Lady are the same story?

1:09:50
One ends happily
1:09:53
and the other one doesn't.
1:09:55
Think about that for a while.
1:10:00
You smell wonderful.
1:10:03
That's the bath oil. When I took
my bath earlier, I put bath oil in.

1:10:09
Only a few drops, of course.
1:10:12
For which I am most grateful.
For both our sakes.

1:10:17
Ahem. And now, where were we?
1:10:20
Bang, bang, bang!
That's where we were.

1:10:23
Or rather, where you were.
1:10:24
She was by the bed with a gun,
he was moving toward her.

1:10:28
I don't see how Frankenstein
and My Fair Lady are the same.

1:10:32
Oh, yes, I do.
1:10:34
Professor Higgins created Eliza and
Dr Frankenstein created the Monster.

1:10:38
Oh, yes, of course.
1:10:41
But don't tell anybody.
I'm saving it for the textbook

1:10:45
on the art of screenplay writing.
1:10:48
Ah-ha, yeah, well...
1:10:51
He's chased her through the jungle,
all that. Blah, blah, blah.

1:10:55
Passed the bathtub.
If you want a Richard Benson movie

1:10:58
without a bathtub, you're out of
your head. And into the bedroom.
