Dido, there"s nothing worse
than the back of a woman"s knees.

:16:04
They remind me of uncooked rock cakes.
:16:07
- Help me!
- Oh, God, Suzette.

:16:10
Colin.
:16:13
I said I wouldn't do this.
And here I am doing it.

:16:16
A few painless shots,
and I can pay for dinner.

:16:19
That's what I call integrity.
:16:20
But you"ve never
heard it like this, Mr. Charms.

:16:23
It"s a sure-fire hit.
:16:25
Just look at these fame-starved urchins...
:16:27
putting on the agony,
all trying to sing like hillbillies...

:16:31
just praying for Harry Charms
to snap them up...

:16:33
and sell them into pop slavery.
:16:37
I mustn't throw stones,
especially not at Americans.

:16:40
Yanks invented teenagers.
:16:42
England for the English, and all that.
:16:45
But being anti-Yank's a sure sign of defeat.
:16:47
l"ve got the tickets for the Stravinsky recital.
:16:50
- Harry Charms, l"ve got an appointment.
- He"s in there.

:16:53
Do me a favor,
don"t drive me mad down there.

:16:55
He was precious, all right.
:16:57
Loonies.
:16:58
And very nasty in the wrong hands.
:17:00
Listen.
:17:02
You know the three most useless
things in the world?

:17:04
The pope"s balls, a nun"s tits
and a good write-up in The Record Mirror.

:17:07
Harry Charms?
:17:09
- Who are you?
- My name"s Colin.

:17:12
Sonya, how many times must I tell you...
:17:14
Suzette sent me.
:17:16
l"ve come about the dirty pictures.
:17:17
Dirty pictures? No.
:17:20
Where"d she get that idea from?
:17:22
Do you mind?
:17:28
This is the Harry Charms Stable of Stars.
:17:30
Each one a star in their own right.
Come and sit down.

:17:34
No, over here.
:17:37
Whitey Britain, Charles Harold,
Zesty Boy Swift...

:17:41
all my own discoveries.
:17:44
And over here...
:17:47
at least one more, maybe two.
:17:49
They don"t know it yet.
Neither do I, for sure.

:17:53
Right, come in here and have a look.
All right, settle down, everybody.

:17:56
All right, stars?
:17:58
Right.
