:25:00
- He did a twist on it.
- We should've thought of that.

:25:04
If we'd had you guys tied up,
that would've been fine.

:25:07
It's such a fine line between stupid and...
:25:10
- And clever.
- It's just that turnabout.

:25:13
I have a piece of bad news.
Although it may not be that bad.

:25:16
We're, er... we're cancelled here.
:25:19
- At the hotel?
- No, the gig is cancelled.

:25:23
Fuck!
:25:24
"Memphis show cancelled
due to lack of advertising funds."

:25:29
The last time Tap toured America, they
were... booked into 10,000-seat arenas

:25:35
and 15,000-seat venues. And it seems
that now, on the current tour,

:25:39
they're being booked into
1200-seat arenas, 1500-seat arenas.

:25:44
I was wondering, does this mean
the popularity of the group is waning?

:25:48
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, not at all.

:25:52
I just think that... that their appeal
is becoming more selective.

:25:58
I notice you got this cricket bat here.
:26:00
- Do you play?
- No. I carry this partly out of...

:26:04
I don't know. Sort of...
:26:08
- I suppose... What's the word?
- Affectation?

:26:11
Yes. It's a kind of totemistic thing,
you know.

:26:14
To be frank, it's come in useful
in a couple of situations.

:26:18
Certainly in the
topsy-turvy world of heavy rock.

:26:21
Having a good solid piece of wood
in your hand is quite often... useful.

:26:26
I miss you too, darling.
:26:28
Um, not too well, actually.
:26:30
We got to Memphis
and there's no gig in Memphis.

:26:34
And we find out
this promoter in the Midwest

:26:37
has pulled out of St Louis
and Kansas City,

:26:41
and, um,
:26:43
oh, Des Moines.
:26:45
I don't know. It's in Indiana or something.
:26:49
I thought...
:26:51
Oh, don't tease me. That's not until April.
:26:54
Great! We'll do it! Oh, fuckin' great!
:26:59
Milwaukee. Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
