00:04 I worked with them all, of course.
00:05 Des, Les, Archie, Dickie, Eric, Benny, Brucey, Bob.
00:11 Bob?
00:12 Bob and Bobby.
00:13 Even that little schmuck, Monty Franklin.
00:16 Who?
00:17 Nobody.
00:18 Yeah.
00:19 They were all happy enough to hitch a ride.
00:23 Where are they now?
00:25 Nowhere.
00:26 Whereas I, I am on top of the world.
00:30 Well, well, the young pretender.
00:42 Ah, JJ.
00:44 Still breathing, I see.
00:46 Jonathan, do you know Dave?
00:48 He's one of the new breed.
00:49 Genetically modified horse shit.
00:53 JJ, you kill me.
00:55 Really, you do.
00:57 But seriously, this, um, this ratings business,
00:59 to see you crumbling away in front of us every week,
01:02 it's painful.
01:03 Ah.
01:04 If there's anything I can do to help, I mean,
01:06 do you want to come on the show?
01:07 Your show?
01:08 Yeah, "Last Refuge" over confused and pathetic.
01:12 Well, you'd feel right at home then, wouldn't you?
01:14 You're nothing, David.
01:15 I wipe you off my shoe.
01:16 Of course you do.
01:19 But I have something bigger to think about.
01:21 I have America, JJ.
01:24 I have the US of A.
01:27 America?
01:28 Now listen to me, you fucking coke-headed
01:31 general, if they buy one show, it's going to be mine,
01:33 not yours, understand?
01:35 Turner and JJ were rivals, but it
01:42 hadn't always been that way.
01:44 Five years ago, JJ gave Dave his first break, as they say.
01:48 The Royal Variety Command performance.
01:52 [APPLAUSE]
01:54 Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness,
02:00 my lords, ladies, and gentlemen, may I
02:03 present to you a young man.
02:05 He's a comedian, a singer, a grand entertainer
02:09 in the old style, and I'm sure you'll
02:11 be seeing a great deal more of him in the years to come.
02:14 Will you please welcome Mr. Dave Turner.
