[Desire ends with "Jolly good."] MacPhisto: [sings] "Moon River, wider than a mile... I'm crossing you in style, some day..." MacPhisto: "I love that one. Do you like... that one? I should come up here more often, you're so kind. I think the people of the North are so generous." Crowd: [cheer] MacPhisto: "I mean, you've been given the nuclear waste of the world – and you take it! My goodness, you take the nuclear waste of the world. What a generous thing to do. I have a personal friend whose idea it was – the Minister for Environment, Mr Gummer. Shall I give him a telephone call?" Crowd: [cheer] MacPhisto: "I think he'd love to thank you personally. People give you their telephone numbers when you're very famous." [dials] MacPhisto: "Zero-seven-two, eight-eight-six-zero, five-two-four. Let's hope he's at home." Woman: "Hello?" MacPhisto: "Hello, I'd like to speak to Mr Gummer, please." Woman: "Who is it, please?" MacPhisto: "My name is MacPhisto. I think, uh, he knows me quite well, actually." Woman: "Max what, sorry?"

Crowd: [cheer] Woman: "Well I'm sure he would. Would you like to speak later with him? Because I'm afraid he's out at the moment." MacPhisto: "You sure he's not asleep?" Woman: "I'm absolutely sure he's not asleep." MacPhisto: "Cou-- could I leave a message for him?" Woman: "Yes, of course." MacPhisto: [sings] "I just called to say I love you... I just called to say how much I care..." [Ultra Violet begins] |
