Yes Page #3

Synopsis: In this film, told almost entirely in iambic pentameter, She is a scientist in a loveless marriage to Anthony, a devious politician. He is a Lebanese doctor in self-imposed exile, working as a chef in a London restaurant. They meet at a banquet and fall into a carefree, passionate relationship. But the contempt He perceives as a Muslim immigrant to the UK causes him to break up with She, offering little in the way of explanation, and return to his homeland. She drags his reasons out of him little by little and tries to sympathize. Keenly feeling the loss of his love, She flies to Havana to sort things out on the beach and in the cabarets. She sends him a ticket, but harbors no illusions that He will join her in this Carribean melting pot...

the secret country, land of all

my longings, there, you have my word

l used to lay the blondes

who came my way

And they were ready for it, night or day

l'd look at them, l wouldn't say a word

and they were on their backs

as if they'd heard a heavenly command

and then they'd cry, at first

with pleasure, like they'd never had

And then they'd phone you up

and drive you mad

The weeping and the wailing

and the rest, they'd ruin it

At first they were the best, those babes

but now at last l've seen the light

Temptation's there

to teach us how to fight

the devil comes in every shape and size

those that resist him get the prize

The prize is Jesus, thank the Lord above

he is the maximum top source of love

Now hold it there, some lasses may be tarts

but they're not evil, they've got broken hearts

They do it 'cause it's all they know

they're used for sex when they are kiddies

They're abused from start to finish

then they're on the streets

and taking drugs instead of eating sweets

they haven't got a chance

Back home l'd walk around and

chat with them, sometimes, just talk...

You'd what? Just talk?

You're not that f***ing good

You'd f***ing do it if you f***ing could

You know f*** all about my f***ing life

l know you're f***ing

skint, so did your wife

You f***ing leave that

out of f***ing this

l'm only joking, can't l take the piss?

The difference is l never had to pay

Yes, so you f***ing always f***ing say

no f***ing woman's free of charge

No way, you fancy one

but there's no f***ing lay

unless you buy the drinks all f***ing night

lt's not the drinks, you have

to treat them right, they want respect

- Respect?

- And dignity

Oh, Jesus Christ

l've seen the f***ing light

You f***ing shag them

then chuck them away

and now you've got the f***ing cheek

to say that you respect them

and they're f***ing white

and f***ing blonde

Oh, come on now, big boy

you'll pull a girlie soon, don't start a fight

l saw a woman once, upon a bus

She was a foreigner, not one of us

she sat alone, this tourist from the west

her trembling bosom in a skin-tight vest

The men were staring at her from behind

the same scenario in every mind

- There was a television...

- On the bus?

With f***ing videos and all, like us?

Don't interrupt

what happened next? Poor lass...

Each f***ing Arab got a piece of ass

An image came up on the shaking screen

A porno movie!

F***ing gang-bang scene!

Shut up!

He's right, the image was obscene

but not the way you think

lt was a girl, a young one, fair and fresh

a lovely pearl with long fair hair that blew

around her head like golden candy floss

as she shot dead one man
