Pistol · Season 1, Episode 4

Viv and Malcolm in “Pretty Vaaaycunt”

Viv

[Reading newspaper] What is this?

Malcolm

That is a call to arms.

Viv

That is a stream of unpunctuated hot air from a broken hair dryer.

Malcolm

Oh, please don't allow me to interrupt your very important potato prints.

Viv

Not important enough for you to mention in your interview.

Malcolm

Ah! Bruised ego, is it?

Viv

I like the "anarchy" bit.

Malcolm

What about the "Bay City Rollers" bit?

Viv

The bit about the shop and the band sharing a name?

Malcolm

Well, it's just always good to throw some facts in with the bullshit.

Viv

I'm changing the name of the shop.

Malcolm

Well, we can't change the name of the band now.

Viv

The shop is not there to service the band. The shop is not there to reinforce your brand.

Malcolm

Well, what is it there for, then?

Viv

To expose hypocrisy and provoke revolution.

Malcolm

What, with sticky back plastic and squeezy bottles?

Viv

[Grabs the back of Malcolm's and he grunts] Do you know the difference between you and me, Malcolm?

Malcolm

How do I differ from thee? Let me count the ways...

Viv

Your idea of ambition is to be the new George Epstein.

Malcolm

Brian Epstein. It's "Brian".

Viv

And my idea of ambition is to be the new Boudica. I want to ride a chariot down Oxford Street and burn this city to the ground.

Malcolm

Oh! So, what does Boudica want to call her new boutique, then?

Viv

"Seditionaries".
