Pamela Rooke quotes from Pistol

Hello, darling!

[To son] Cover your eyes! Cover your eyes!

[To Pamela] Would you like an upgrade, young lady? I've an empty First Class carriage.

Pamela

And why would you be so kind?

Well... You're making these people uncomfortable.

Pamela

Why would they be uncomfortable? I'm perfectly comfortable.

Why would you dress like that? There are children present. [To son] What are you grinning at? You're just like your father.

First Class has tea and toast. Nice bit of strawberry jam.

Pamela

Provocateuring does make one quite hungry.

Chrissie

Oh, he's back.

Pamela

At least he waited outside this time.

Chrissie

Hey! Hey, you alive?

Steve

[Groans] I don't think so.

Pamela

We were taking bets on how long before they found you floating in the Thames.

Chrissie

Okay, move! We gotta open.

Steve

I'll give you a hand.

Pamela

"Singer walking off stage before he's sung" is a novel approach.

Steve

Yeah.

Pamela

It was cool.

Steve

Was it?

Pamela

We didn't know what was happening. Your band just kept playing, and the music was really hard. You could feel their anger. But then they stopped, which was shit, cos I'd spent two hours getting ready.

Steve

Where do you get changed for work?

Pamela

I come like this from home.

Steve

On the train?

Pamela

Being seen is a political act. Shoving it in their stuck-up faces, bunch of hypocrites. Supposed to be a free country.

Steve

Where do you get the balls?

Pamela

As you can see... I don't have any. This is a vulva-powered revolution.

Steve

Why take the train if you've got a Volvo?

Pamela

[Laughs] You're funny... Kutie Jones. Tea? [Walks away]

Steve

I can't understand her half the time... but she has got guts.

Viv

Yeah. As opposed to some. Why didn't you sing?

Steve

Umm... I guess the new improved cloak of invisibility didn't live up to expectations.

Viv

Being seen is generally part of being on stage, Steve.

Steve

Do you think Viv and Malcolm would give me another chance?

Viv

Better hurry. They've been looking for a new singer.

Steve

We're the Sеx Pistols, and our singer don't like hearing himself sing. [Audience cheers] It's understandable, really.

John

I don't like hearing none of youse!

You can't fսcking play! So what? Yeah, so what?

Pamela

Get a haircut, you dirty hippy!

Steve

Fսck off! Sing, John.

Yeah, encore!

Steve

Who the fսck are you?!

[Repeatedly] Encore!

John

Fսck you! Shut the fսck up!

[John walks over to get a chair] What's he fսcking doing? Piss off! Fսcking idiot!

John

[Sits in chair and announces] I always wanted to see this band. But I regret to inform you, ladies and gentlemen... [throws chair across room] that they are shit! [Band plays song that ends with punk fans getting into spitting match with metalheads]

Pamela

I'm thinking I need to start being more confrontational with the customers. Yeah, all right, pet. Lovely. If we're not careful, this place could become a shop. and then really, what's the point? Mm. Who are those for?

They're for me, my dear.

Pamela

How and where are they to be worn?

Well, that's rather private.

Pamela

I don't think so. This is not a fetish shop. These knickers are the spark plugs of a revolution.

How thrilling.

Pamela

The proprietors of this establishment are very influenced by William Reich's theories about mass psychology and fascism.

Ah, that explains a lot.

Pamela

Reich says that fascism is caused by sеxual repression.

I honestly could not agree more.

Pamela

If we don't start talking about sеx more, and don't stop being so repressed, we're going to end up with a dictator. Isn't that right, Vivienne? We live to proclaim, not to shame.

Sadly, I'm not in a position to proclaim.

Pamela

Then I can't sell them to you. Can I, Vivienne? Well, I mean, we can always make an exception. Are we going to be on the news?

In a fashion, yes.

Pamela

The news? What? Oh! That's who you are! That's who he is! You are him, aren't you?!

If I'm wearing these under my suit tonight, I'll give you a wink. Like this. Just for you. That be all right?

Pamela

Oh, that's lovely. Isn't that lovely? There's no returns on the underwear, OK?

Perish the thought. But not the rubber.

Pamela

Isn't he lovely? Is there a review?

Viv

Hmm?

Pamela

What's it say, then?

Viv

Oh, I'm just reading the small ads. Do you know it's still possible to buy loon pants?

Pamela

Who is doing that? We should get ourselves a pack of hounds and hunt them down. Look at this one. Got a big bag. Definitely a dipper. I'll cover the door.

I hear that Sеx the Shop is where one can find sеx the Pistols. Johnny. The Marquee. I saw him singing and spitting. It was wonderful. I was wondering if you had his address?

Viv

I'm sorry, we don't give out that kind of information. Please open your bag.

But I don't wanna do that.

Pamela

I'm afraid you have no choice.

No choice?

No.

Oh... That's right.

Pamela

Please open your bag.

No! Get away from me! [Cries]

Viv

Are you all right? I'm sorry. I'm... I'm sorry. It's all right. Let's get you into this chair. Water. I'm sorry. It's fine. You're all right. :Viv: This is my shop. May I be of some assistance, madam?

That's lovely, thank you. So kind.

Viv

What kind of assistance would you like?

Oh... Where do I start? I need so much assistance. Every kind, really.

Viv

I will need to look in your bag, though.

You're nice. So I don't mind.

Viv

No! Get out!

But I don't wanna get out because I do really like it here.

Viv

Get out! Get out! Get out!

OK. I... I can see you're really busy.

Viv

The bag! Get the bag out of here now!

Go! Next time, eh, bab?

Viv

Throw her out!
