Jerry Parker quotes from L.A. 7

Jerry Parker

What’s that? (angrily) What is that?! Get it off that air! Get it off that air! I can’t stand it! I can’t stand it! Go back to England, you whiny brat! Get it off! Get it off! Do you hear, do you hear?!

Jon

Well, there’s our resume copied.

Jerry Parker

I need those our obscure… (bumping into Jo) Oh. Oh. I’m sorry.

Jo

Sorry.

Jerry Parker

Gee. May I help you? This is my fault.

Jo

Sorry. I’m not normally such a muffin.

Jerry Parker

Hey. You’re English, right?

Jon

Yeah. Yeah we are.

Jerry Parker

And you’re looking for work. Then I may have the thing for you. Come with me.

Jon

A radio station. You want us to work in a radio station.

Jo

Result!

Jerry Parker

I’m Jerry Parker, program director here at KWOW. We are looking to expand into a younger demographic without losing our present audience and I think you could be just a presenters we’re looking for.

Jon

Oh, we are, w-we’re exactly what you’re looking for.

Jo

Yeah. Whatever it is.

Jerry Parker

Great. And you’re being British you’ll retain the sophisticated image we want at this station.

Jo

Oh, yeah. We’re well sophisticated.

Jon

Yeah. You know, p-pip old fruit.

Jerry Parker

(chuckles) Now you’re British so I needn’t ask you this question. But you are familiar with the popular classics, right?

Jon

Oh, yeah. The popular classics. You know, Status Quo. Level 42. Right Said Fred.

Jo

Frankie Goes To Hollywood. Kajagoogoo.

Jerry Parker

No, no. (laughs)

Jerry Parker

Good one! Now, I was thinking more Elgar, William Walton, some Beethoven.

Jon

Oh, those popular classics! Right.

Jerry Parker

That won’t be a problem, will it?

Jon

For us? Oh, no, no, no. We’re British old man. You know, classical music is our heritage. It’s our lifeblood. You know, we grew up listening to Beethoven’s 1812 in our cribs.

Jerry Parker

Tchaikovsky.

Jon

No, no, no, no. It’s absolutely true.

Jo

No, Jon…

Jon

Jo, shut up. I can bluff this guy. I do know a bit about classical music, you know.

Jerry Parker

It was Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture.

Jon

That’s what I meant.

Jo

Personally, I’ve always preferred his Romeo and Juliet the symphonic version, naturally. The ballet version was a bit too superficial for my taste.

Jon

What?

Jerry Parker

Exactly. So, so, you enjoy the Russian composers.

Jo

I quite like the riot spring, though. I always did say Leon Trotsky goes a long, long way.

Jerry Parker

Oh, then you’ll fit right in here, so can you start tomorrow say 11am?

Mhm.

Jerry Parker

Ah, excellent. Excuse me.

Jon

What just happened?

Jo

My dad was a classical music, nutter. He used to have his own used record store down the rock for market. I could bals before I could walk, Jon.

Jon

You kept that quiet.

Jo

Not so much quiet. More pan simmer.

Jon

Now you’re just showing off.

Jo

Yeah.

Jo

And that was the Polish Symphony Orchestra with Mozart’s Koechlin titled simply number 28 in C. Nice one, Wolfie. Next out, the Val D, but before we get to move over to the news.

Jo

Pop off, you muffin.

Jerry Parker

(muffled sound)

Jo

They have been reporting nominee of possible… (reading continues)

Jon

Um, Mr. Parker. I was just polishing the windows, um, I don’t charge extra.

Jerry Parker

Aw, thanks. Jon, it’s 2 o’clock. I’m going out, so if anybody calls, tell them I’ll be back in an hour.

Jon

Yes, sir. Your radio station’s in safe hands. By the way, is your car radio still broken?

Jerry Parker

Unfortunately, yes.

Jon

Excellent, I mean that’s just too bad.

Jo

…president today reaffirmed his position on… Oh, who cares? This is S Club 7 and “All In Love Is Fair.”

Jerry Parker

Kids, it’s 2 o’clock. I’ve gotta go out, okay?

Jo

Okay. How’s your radio?

Jerry Parker

Still broken.

Jon

Okay, pop pickers. Now you’re in for a treat.

Jerry Parker

Parker.

Rachel

(speaking to him on the phone) Mr. Parker. Hi. It’s Rachel. Rachel from Puppy Cities International. Hi. Yeah, um… I’m outside a tire store at the moment, but, um… Well, it’s a long story, but I’m afraid I’m running a little late. Um, I won’t be able to get Mr. Dibbles back until about half past 3.

Jerry Parker

No problem. I’ve got stuff I can do.

Rachel

Good. I’ll see you later.

Jerry Parker

Well, I’ll just head back to work and come to you at 4pm.

Rachel

I’m sorry again about the delay in getting your dog back to you, Mr. Parker.

Jerry Parker

Oh, don’t sweat it, Rachel. Besides, you really did me a favor.

Jerry Parker

Hey, over there. Isn’t that the cloaked avenger?

Evan

Howdy, little partner!

Jerry Parker

Oh, wow! I loved your show as a kid! I had a cloaked avenger outfit. I wore it every Halloween!

Evan

(giggles) I still do.

Jerry Parker

Could I have your autograph? I-I know I have a pad in there somewhere.

Evan

Look, girl!

Jerry Parker

How the heck did she get in here?

Rachel

She must have stowed away when you picked Mr. Dibbles up yesterday. Oh, and look. She’s made a little nest under the seat. Ugh!

Evan

Obviously, I’ll pay to have your repulse shampooed.

Jerry Parker

Oh, no. It’s not necessary. Actually, it’s a privilege.

Evan

I insist.

Jerry Parker

No, really, really.

Rachel

Okay, Cloak Girl, time for my nightmare to end.

Evan

After her! Follow that dog!

Rachel

Cloak Girl, stop!

Hold on. I-I recognized that dog.

Rachel

Bradley!

Evan

(panting) C.C.?

Evan?

Evan

Cloak Girl!

Avenger!

Evan

Eradicate injustice.
