Boat That Rocked, The Page #2

- Really nice guy.

Is that it?

No. Has lots of friends. Has long hair.

Ah!

- Jimi Hendrix?

- No, much older.

- No shoes.

- I know this.

Nice guy, has long hair,

doesn't have any shoes.

Think about it.

- Must be...

- It's like watching a baby drown.

Wore a dress.

- Dress?

- Wore a dress!

This had better not be Jesus.

- Yes, Jesus!

- Obviously!

Rock on!

Why didn't you say he was the Son of God?

Was he?

Now, there is one final matter to discuss.

- Pirate radio.

Goodness.

- In whose department does this fall?

- That would be me, Prime Minister.

What's the plan, Sir Alistair?

They're very popular.

And they're not actually

breaking any law that we know of.

We're going to shut them down

within the year.

They are a sewer of dirty

and irresponsible commercialism

and low morals.

Indeed.

- Very well. I leave it in your capable hands.

- Thank you very much, Prime Minister.

Thank you all.

Full news again in one hour with me,

John Mayford. Till then, this man.

This was the deal.

I asked all of you to demand of me

to do a very foolish thing,

and you sent in ideas in their millions.

But one idea has defeated them all,

so I'm proud to announce I will soon be

the first person to say the "F" word

on rock 'n' roll radio

in the United Kingdom of Great Britain.

But my aim is not to offend, it is to entertain.

But also, perhaps, to educate a little.

Because if you shoot a bullet, someone dies.

When you drop a bomb, many die.

If you hit a woman, love dies.

But if you say the "F" word,

nothing actually happens.

So here it comes.

Especially for you, the "F" word.

First, though, this very fine piece of music.

- You can't do this.

- Why not? It's just a word!

Charming thought,

but here's the simple situation.

The authorities already dislike us.

If you do this they will hate us,

and by hook or by crook,

they'll find a way to close us down.

They can't close us down. We're pirates.

That's why we're sitting out here

in the middle of the freaking ocean.

Believe me, they will find a way.

Governments loathe people being free.

Okay.

Okay, I'm thinking about it.

My dear comrades, I have some sad news.

The powers that be have decreed

that the "F" word is a word too far.

But at least for now, even though our

dreams of freedom have died a tragic death,

the Hollies are still alive.

Thank you.

I don't know why you did that.

I was just gonna say "f***" once.

You know, one tiny little "f***. "

There's no such thing as a tiny little "f***. "

Yeah there is.

You should ask Angus' girlfriend.

Be that as it may, there's no "f***" so small

it won't f*** us up.

One day, in a world of dreams,

you'll be able to say "wank"
