- Clive:
- Anyway, I had this work permit to be a, er, you know, window-cleaner cum plumber…
- Derek:
- Yeah.
- Clive:
- … and, you know, and I was down this house in Beverly Hills – have you been there?
- Derek:
- Oh – no.
- Clive:
- Just close to Beverly Sills, the opera singer.
- Derek:
- Yeah, right.
- Clive:
- And, erm, got this window cleaning job. Just went into this big house, you know…
- Derek:
- Mmm.
- Clive:
- … walked in there…
- Derek:
- Mmm.
- Clive:
- This big fucking poof, n***** butler…
- Derek:
- Yeah-heh, right…
- Clive:
- … fucking hell, these cunts…
- Derek:
- … fu-u-cking cu-unt.
- Clive:
- … fucking cunt, he said, "Come dis way sir," you know how they fucking speak…
- Derek:
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Clive:
- … can’t even speak fucking English.
- Derek:
- Yeah-heh, cunt.
- Clive:
- So I said, "All right, where’s the window, cunt?" He said, "You’ve just walked through it." He was quite right, I had fucking glass all up my fucking body.
- Derek:
- Tch.
- Clive:
- Anyway, I said, "Well, I ca-, I can’t clean it ’cause I broke it," and he said, "There are other windows in this house."
- Derek:
- Mmm.
- Clive:
- So I was just cleaning the window, I got all the fluids out, you know, giving it all a clean…
- Derek:
- Yeah.
- Clive:
- … and I looked round and, er, I thought, you know, I saw something lying on the bed. I thought, "there’s a fucking familiar face."
- Derek:
- Yeah.
- Clive:
- And – Joan Crawford.
- Derek:
- Cor, fucking hell.
- Clive:
- "JC" as she was known to her friends.
- Derek:
- Right, yeah.
- Clive:
- Anyway, I was cleaning the window…
- Derek:
- Yeah.
- Clive:
- … this fucking wind blew up; tropical storm invaded the, you know, the bedroom…
- Derek:
- Mmm.
- Clive:
- … and…
- Derek:
- (chuckles)
- Clive:
- … I was swept away by this huge gust of wind…
- Derek:
- Yeah.
- Clive:
- … straight up her fucking cunt. I went…
- Derek:
- Oh no.
- Clive:
- Yeah, I went straight through the nylon underwear,
- Derek:
- Mmm.
- Clive:
- Tore through the diaphragm she was wearing,
- Derek:
- Yeah.
- Clive:
- And then, there was no exit, one end was rubber, and up the other end…
- Derek:
- Mm-mm.
- Clive:
- … the biggest fucking disaster area I’ve ever fucking seen.
- Derek:
- Really?
- Clive:
- Ow f-. You’ve heard of the Bermuda Triangle?
- Derek:
- Yeah.
- Clive:
- Well, this was worse.
- Derek:
- Tch.
- Clive:
- Up Joan Crawford’s cunt there are fucking fleets of ships, light aircraft…
- Derek:
-
(laughs)
Hamburger stands? - Clive:
- Hamburger stands. But no fucking hamburgers…
- Derek:
- Right, no.
- Clive:
- … just the fucking stands.
- Derek:
- Right.
- Clive:
- The only single piece of entertainment, there’s one disco.
- Derek:
- They’ve got a disco in there?
- Clive:
- They’ve got a disco in there…
- Derek:
- Ooo, lovely.
- Clive:
- … in a, in a cruise ship, one of those cruising ships, you know.
- Derek:
- Yeah.
- Clive:
- And they’ve got a pool there.
- Derek:
- (belches)
- Clive:
- They’ve got a pool in there, and there’s no water up Joan Crawford at all, so they’ve filled it full of shit.
- Derek:
- Yeah.
- Clive:
- So…
- Derek:
- Hold it a moment.
- Clive:
- I’ve c-,
- Derek:
- (makes a farting noise)
- Clive:
- No, no.
- Derek:
- (chuckles)
- Clive:
- They have this fucking pool full of shit and they go up there have a bathe in the shit and then go down to the disco all covered in turd.
- Derek:
- Ohh, really?
- Clive:
- It’s a fucking pain!
- Derek:
- (laughs loud)
- Clive:
- A-, An-
- Derek:
-
(continues laughing then abruptly stops and clears throat)
Well, you know I had a terrible experience with Joan ’cause I-, I’m, you know, after you- - Clive:
- What, Crawfie?
- Derek:
- Yeah, Crawfie, ’cause after you-
- Clive:
- The Queen Mother’s nanny?
- Derek:
- Yeah. And after you’d told me about Joan’s cunt…
- Clive:
- Yeah.
- Derek:
- … you know, ‘course I was very curious and I thought, well, I’ve got to ha-, go and have a look at this, mate. I went up there and I was, you know, I was, frankly I was appalled.
- Clive:
- What, by the state of her cunt?
- Derek:
- Well, I mean, the people up there, wandering about lost, you know (belches) it was pathetic. Anyway, to cut a long story short I got a bit lost myself, you know…
- Clive:
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, that…
- Derek:
- Her arsehole was…
- Clive:
- … that, yeah, no…
- Derek:
- Her arsehole was completely blocked with Spanish revolutionaries.
- Clive:
- Oh FUCK!!
- Derek:
- And…
- Clive:
- Are they still there?
- Derek:
- Still there. So-
- Clive:
- Ohhh, that’s that fucking trouble, ’cause they can’t speak a word of fucking Belgian!
- Derek:
- Right! A-, and I start-, I thought, well fuck this, I-, for a laugh, I’m going to go north, you know, so I started making my way. I thought…
- Clive:
- Did you get to her tits?
- Derek:
- No, well…
- Clive:
- They’ve frozen over for the time of the year.
- Derek:
- Well, I s-, I thought to myself, I’ll, I’ll make my way through the gall bladder and then, er, tickle her larynx or, you know, somewhere round there and she can sick me up.
- Clive:
- Yeah.
- Derek:
- I went, I went into the gall bladder, I stepped through, I fucking fell! ‘Cause she’d had it fucking removed!
- Clive:
- What her f-, her gall bladder?
- Derek:
- Her gall bladder wasn’t there!
- Clive:
- Well, there’s no fucking signs on her saying the gall bladder’s…
- Derek:
- Right!
- Clive:
- Fucking hell! There should be a fucking sign up there saying, "Danger! No fucking gall-"
- Derek:
- Right!
- Clive:
- Fucking hell!!
- Derek:
- Anyway, to cut a long story short…
- Clive:
- What’d you-
- Derek:
- … I got, I got in the stomach. I got in a rather dodgy way, I got in by osmosis.
- Clive:
- Yea-h-h.
- Derek:
- And, erm, I went in there, I kicked up a fucking storm in there. I ran around all the walls, you know…
- Clive:
- Yeah, yeah.
- Derek:
- … kicking the shit out of ’em.
- Clive:
- Y-
- Derek:
- Anyway, I stuck a pencil up her epiglottis and in a fucking trice…
- Clive:
- Yeah.
- Derek:
- … I came flying up with all this Chinese take away food that she’d just had…
- Clive:
- Oh shit!
- Derek:
- No – sick. And…
- Clive:
- Sorry.
- Derek:
- … I was, I come flying out and, er, fuck me, out of the frying pan into the fire. I landed straight in the fucking toilet, ’cause she…
- Clive:
- Oh, fuck off!
- Derek:
- … was leaning over the toilet – I just come out!
- Clive:
- That’s fucking Hollywood, isn’t it?!
- Derek:
- Init!
