Tell me about the Bolivian soccer team.
Beaten 2–nil by Poland on Saturday. Got home yesterday. Last night the goalkeeper was shot.
Shit!
Shot.
“IOC Man” · Season 2, Episode 4
In this episode: John Clarke (14), Gina Riley (4), Bryan Dawe (1), Nicholas Bell (1)
Oh, come on, John. That’s a bit old hat, the corrupt IOC delegate.
Old hat? Gina, in the scientific world when they see that something is happening again and again and again, repeatedly, they don’t call it old hat. They call it a pattern.
Christ. I suppose it’s possible one day somebody might ask me a question about sport.
Oh, you won’t get a question about sport, Gina. No chance of that. Very old hat, sport. No-one will ask you about that. Every Olympics has got sport. The thing that differentiates the Australian Olympics, Gina, is that it’s going to be paid for by Australians.

Good news!
All of those trees we planted were uprooted and blown away in last week’s hailstorm.
I take it you’re not telling me this in order to demonstrate the awesome power of nature.
Well, who will be announcing we're not going to replant the trees , he asked rhetorically?
TSTim Schwerdt
The Minister wants you at his office.
Ah!
TSTim Schwerdt
Now.
Did he specify if I was to bring my own sword or will I be falling on one provided by the Minister?
[After angrily reversing his car into the garage wall]
Now why would you put a wall in there?
Well, this will be a moment of excitement. I’ve never actually met the Minister before. I've only ever seen him on television. Normally just his smile and maybe a tiny bit of his lawyer.
Good to know, Bill, that the IOC is well off for fully functioning photocopying machines. Photocopying whatever it is you photocopy up there. What is it? The location of stolen bullion, is it? Nazi escape routes? Something like that?
Do you bother naming the female children?
BTBill Ten Eyck
I’d love to move, but not for a million dollars.
Two million dollars perhaps, Bill?
And here’s that brief for the press conference for the launch of Australia’s Games tomorrow. You’ve got a rehearsal first thing in the morning.
Rehearsal?
The Channel Seven commentary team are going to be there dressed up as Shagger, Australia’s Gumnut Kangaroo.
All of them?
I think so.
Wilko?
Wilko’s its arse, I think.
BTBill Ten Eyck
Beer, mate?
One perishingly cold, thanks.
[Bill doesn't move]
Yes, that’s the other thing, of course. I could get it myself.
Well, Bill’s safely off and I, for one, am very, very sad to see him go.
Yes, a commonly held view as it happens, Gina. For example, Detective Conroy here of the Fraud Squad is also a little dewy-eyed at Bill’s tragic departure, given that she and most of the international police force have been looking for Bill for quite some time.
