PISTOLS

Grundy [to camera]:  They are punk rockers.  The new craze, they tell me.  Their heroes?  Not the nice, clean Rolling Stones… you see they are as drunk as I am.   They are clean by comparison.  They’re a group called the Sex Pistols, and I am surrounded by all of them…

Jones [reading the autocue]… in action!

Grundy:  Just let us see the Sex Pistols in action.  Come on kids…

[Film of the Sex Pistols in action is shown; then back to Grundy]

Grundy:  I am told that that group [hits his knee with sheaf of papers] have received £40,000 from a record company.  Doesn’t that seem, er, to be slightly opposed to their anti-materialistic view of life?

Matlock:  No, the more the merrier.

Grundy:  Really?

Matlock:  Oh yeah.

Grundy:  Well tell me more then.

Jones:  We’ve fuckin’ spent it, ain’t we?
