Even more bits of Fry and Laurie
Jun. 10th, 2005 02:47 pmA couple of clips from the last episode (6) of the second season:
"And I see many towns, and many villages, and I see family amusement heritage theme fun parks, which will smell of urine and vomit. And I see ten water and sewage businesses, I see leisure-dromes. I see huge edge-of-town crematoriums, and day-glo bermuda shorts flecked with urine and vomit.
"I see thousands of miles of motorway, conveniently stuffed full of hundreds of thousands of cars, whose seats shall be stained with children and urine and vomit."
Hugh: [singing in an operatic style] "Urine and vomit..."
[Hugh begins to play the slow theme from Holst's "Jupiter" on the piano]
Stephen: "And the interiors of these cars... the interiors of these cars shall be hot and sweaty and bad-tempered, for the queue to the family entertainment leisure hycodrome (sp?) shall be thousands of miles long. And I see hundreds of shiny magazines, out of which will fall dozens of smaller shiny magazines, advertising personal attack alarms and handy freshen-up wipe and absorbant pads.
"And the faces of the people who shall be peopleing this new Britain shall be flushed and they shall be shiny and they shall be pink because they know that they are forging a new Britain, a Britain of family heritage and a Britain of amusement and amenity fun.
"As yet, it is only a vision. A vision of family heritage urine, and fun amenity vomit. But soon, soon, with luck, sincerity, and steadfast voting, it may become a reality."

- "A New Britain," a sort of monologue by Stephen Fry
