Jeremy, Audience (Including James) and others in “May 9th, 2004”

[During the News Segment. Hammond has just mentioned the new mini. He is wearing a bright red shirt.]

Jeremy

Whoa, what are the noises for? Do you like it?

Audience (Including James)

No!

Richard

Heck, I do, Actually, I think that looks great! [silence] Maybe it's the shirt?

Jeremy

How much is it going to cost?

Richard

It's going to cost... well, they'll generally be about £2500 more than the equivalent hard top. So the Cooper S, the Supercharged version of that, £17 500, £15 500 for the coupe. About £13 500 I think for the mini one.

James

That's horrible.

Richard

Well, yeah, but the mini- it's not a cheap small car. It's an expensive small car. And I like that [points at mini].

Jeremy

It's a metrosexual car.

Both

A What?

Jeremy

Metrosexual! It's the new thing! It's for the chap, he doesn't wanna be too butch, he doesn't wanna have like, you know, a big 4x4, he spends quite a bit of money on hair products- [gestures towards Richard]

Richard

Don't point at me, mate.

Jeremy

He's interested in shirts, probably wears cowboy boots- [Richard is looking sheepishly at his feet, which are clad in cowboy boots] -That kind of thing! He's a blend of gay and not-gay.

Richard

[talking over Jeremy] I am not a metro-flamin'-sexual!

Jeremy

You are a metrosexual! I can see you in one of those! [Points at the Mini Cooper's picture]

Richard

Apart from anything else, how would you know what a metrosexual is?

Jeremy

I'm not only in touch with my feminine side, I'm in touch with my gay side as well.

Richard

You're probably right.
