Quotes
-
Cyril : [about Geoffrey] He's doing the rounds. He saw the Chekov on Tuesday. He was at the Dream last night.
Frank : No!
Cyril : Yeah. There he was. Third raw from the back. Head burried in his hands like he lost a brother in the war.
Frank : Crikey. He wouldn't recast, would he?
Cyril : Not the Dream, no. But God knows what he'll do with Oliver's Hamlet. Play the lead himself.
Frank : You think?
Cyril : Oh, why not? It was the play that drow him mad. Seven years ago. I saw it all with me own eyes. Halfway through the gravedigger scene he suddenly went all quiet and pale.
Frank : He went off?
Cyril : Off his nut. Then he leaped.
Frank : Leaped?
Cyril : Into the grave, Ducky. Into Ophelia's bloody grave. Leaving Horatio and Laertes staring down into the hole as if they just made a wish.
Frank : Crikey.
Cyril : Crikey indeed. Then he went screaming out into the night, mad as a hatter.
Frank : Well, he's been to hospital. Had treatments. Maybe he's better.
Cyril : Or maybe he's worse. Hey up. Here she comes.
Geoffrey Tennant : Carlsberg.
[looks at Oliver's skull]
Geoffrey Tennant : Two Carlsberg.
Frank : Crikey.
Cyril : Bloody hell.
