Pistol · Season 1, Episode 4

Jeannie, Francie and others in “Pretty Vaaaycunt”

Jeannie

[Watching band perform on TV and on phone] Francie, are you watching?

Francie

Oh, Lord, yes, I am watching. [Jeannie lies down on floor up close to watch totally mesmerized]

...

Malcolm

"Anarchy in the UK" is a call to arms for all the kids who feel that rock 'n' roll has been taken away from them.

Francie

[At bus stop reading newspaper] "Meet Malcolm McLaren. He runs a shop called 'sеx'. He manages a group called 'The sеx Pistols'. His rockabilly leathers deconstructed by the effete white scarf that shrouds his whey face." What's a "whey face"?

Jeannie

I don't know. [Points to band headshots] There's a picture. That face must be "whey".

...

Malcolm

Fundamentally, rock is a young people's music.

...

Jeannie

"McLaren declares himself the commissar of a youth revolution."

Francie

The bus! Come on, I want to get to the back.

...

Malcolm

We have created a brand new...

Jeannie

"...generation gap," says McLaren. "16-year-olds..."

Malcolm

...are telling 18-year-olds that they're too old.

Older girl

Move along, foetus.

...

Malcolm

All kids are anarchists, until they get dragged into the system. All the other bands that have risen out of the wake of the Pistols are great. It's like having an army behind you. We are to Bay City Rollers what the Stones were to the Beatles.

...

Joyriding hooligan

What are you slags wearing?! Show us your tіts! Show us your arse!

Francie

Get, you know... Get lost!

Joyriding hooligan

[Laughs and drives away]

Francie

Ooh! That wasn't very Punk.

Francie

Okay. I'm just getting used to it!
