John and Sid in “Rotten”

If you are going to be in the band, you can't carry on being called John, because that's my name. Malcolm won't let me in the band. Steve's hopeless and Glen's a ponce. One of 'em has to go. Besides, I need a mate. They're really mean most of the time.

My mum calls me Sime.

Slime is good.

"Sime", not "Slime". It's short for "Simon". John Simon Ritchie.

You can't be called Simon either, it's a shit name. Hence why I prefer John.

I don't see why we can't both be called John. Confusion is good.

I've only just noticed your teeth. You look like my fucking hamster.

[Noticing John's hamster] Hello, Sid.

We'll call you Sid. After the hamster.

What's his second name?

Hamsters don't have surnames.

Well, I'm gonna need a second name. For legal purposes.

Sid Ritchie sounds okay.

[Hamster bites Sid's finger] Argh! Sid's really vicious.
