Don't turn your head, don't look around, yes, old bastard, that's you, four stars for you.
A bunch of snarky, snarky, eccentric old bastards who think they're unrepentant, don't admit their mistakes, and gamble with the world's ugliest agent in a crappy apartment.
A bunch of old bastards who taught bad kids to sing "Christmas Everywhere" with a bunch of sexy flaming red-lipped chicks.
An old bastard who is sloppy and joking.
But, but, so what? How can I resist the clumsy but warm embrace of two old bastards on a cold winter night?
Here are some of my favorite conversations. Very funny. Makes you cry and laugh.
+++++++++++++++++++dividing line++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
First It's that hug about two old bastards.
Joe: What the hell are you doing here? You`re supposed to be at Elton John`s. What the hell are you doing here
? You should be at Elton John's house.
Bill: Well, I was there for a minute or two and then I had an epiphany. Well, I was there for a minute or two and then I had an epiphany
.
Joe: Relly?
Really?
Bill: Yeah.
Yes.
Joe: Come on. Just come up. So what was this epiphany?
Come on, come up first. So, what kind of epiphany?
Bill: Erm, it...it was about Chrismas.
Well, it...it was about Christmas.
Joe: You realised it was all around.
You realised it was all around.
Bill: No.I realised that Christmas is the time to be with the people you love.
No. I realize when you're with your loved ones at Christmas time.
Joe: Right. Right
.
Bill: And I realised that, as dire chance and fateful cock up would have it, here I am, mid-fifties, and without knowing it, I`ve spent most my adult life with a chubby employee. And, much as it grieves me to say it, it might be that the people I love is, in fact...you.
I also realize that because of the horrific mess of chance and fate, I am now, in my 50s, in I spent my adult life without realizing it...with a fat employee (who he calls the ugliest agent Joe in the world). And, as sad as it may be to say that, the truth is that the person I love could be... you.
Joe: Well, this is a surprise. Well, this is a surprise
.
Bill: Yeah.
Yes.
Joe: Ten minutes at Elton John`s and you`re gay? Ten minutes at Elton John`s and you`re gay
?
Bill: No, look. I`m serious here. I left Elton John`s and a hefty number of half-naked chicks with their mouths open in order to hang out with you at Christmas.
No, look. I was serious. I left Elton John's house where there was a whole bunch of half-naked teenage girls with their mouths open just to hang out with you at Christmas.
Joe: Well, Bill...
Well, Bill...
Bill: It`sa terrible, terrible mistake, chubs... but you turn to be the fucking love of my life. And to be honest, despite all my complaining... we have had a wonderful life.
It was a terrible, terrible mistake, friend...but you are the one I love in my life in the end. Honestly, despite all my complaints... we have a pretty good life together.
Joe: Well, thank you. I mean, come on, it`s been an honour. I feel very proud.
Well, thank you. I mean, well, it's an honor. I am very proud. (reaches out to shake Bill's hand)
Bill: Oh, look, don`t be a moron.
Oh, hey, don't be a fool.
(An old bastard and a fat agent hug awkwardly)
Bill: Come on, let`s get pissed and watch porn. Come on, let 's get drunk and watch porn
.

then It's a conversation between boss Harry and employee Sarah. If only I had such a boss.
Sarah: Harry?
Harry: Sarah, switch off your phone and tell me exactly how long it is that you`re been working here.
Sarah, switch off your phone first , and tell me exactly how long you've been working here. .
Sarah: Two years, seven months, three days and, I suppose, what, two hours? Two years, seven months, three
days, and 2 hours or so?
Harry: And how long have you been in love with Karl, our enigmatic chief designer? How long have you been in love with our enigmatic chief
designer Karl?
Sarah: Um, Two years, seven months, three days and, I suppose, an hour and 30 minutes.
Ah...two years, seven months, three days, and I suppose, an hour and a half.
Harry: Thought as much.
I guess so.
Sarah: Do you think everybody knows? Does
everybody know?
Harry: Yes.
Yes.
Sarah: Do you think Karl knows? Does
Karl know?
Harry: Yes.
Yes.
Sarah: Oh, that is...that is bad news.
Oh, that is...that is bad news.
Harry: I just thought that maybe the time had come to do something about it.
I think it's time for you to do something about it.
Sarah: Like what?
For example?
Harry: Invite him out for a drink then casually mention you`d like to marry him and have lots of sex and babies. Ask him out for a drink and
tell him in a relaxed tone that you want to marry him and have kids.
Sarah: You know that? You know that
?
Harry: Yes. And so does Karl. Think about it, for all our sakes. It`s Christmas.
That's right. Karl knew it too. For everyone's sake, think about it. Christmas is almost here.
Sarah: Certainly. Excellent. Will do. Thanks, boss.
Of course. no problem. I will handle it. thank you boss.

again Then there is the dialogue between the father and the cute son Sam.
So, what`s the problem, Samuel? It is just Mum or is it something Father: else, huh? Maybe school? Are you being bullieb? Or is it something worse? Can you give me any clues at all?
Sam, you Any trouble? Is it just a mom thing or something else? Maybe a school thing? Did someone bully you at school? Or something more serious? Can you give me a clue?
Sam: You really want to know? You really want to know
?
Father: I really want to know.
I really want to know.
Sam: Even though you won`t be able to help? Even though you won't be able to help
?
Father: Even if that`s the case, yeah. Even if that's the case, yeah
.
Sam: OK. Well...truth is, actually...I`m in love.
Well. The truth is, actually... I'm in love.
Father: Sorry?
What?
Sam: I know I should be thinking about Mum and I am but I`m in love. I was before she died and there`s nothing I can do about it.
I know I should be sad about Mum now, I am really sad , but I am in love. I was in love before she died, and there was nothing I could do about it.
Father: Aren`t you a bit young to be in love?
Would it be too early for you to fall in love now?
Sam: No.
No.
Father: Ah, well. OK, well...I`ma little relieved.
Ah, well...I'm relieved.
Sam: Why?
Why?
Father: Because I...thought it`d be something worse.
Because, I thought it was something worse. (Poor this father has been worried about his son injecting heroin into his eyeballs. = =!)
Sam: Worse than the total agony of being in love? Is
there anything more serious than the pain of being in love?
Father: Er...No, you`re right. Total agony.
Ah...No, you're right. The pain of love.

again Then there is the conversation between the lovely and handsome Prime Minister and the handsome and fat assistant Natalie.
Natalie: He said I was getting fat.
He said I was too fat.
Prime Minister: I beg your pardon?
Excuse me?
Natalie: He said on one`d fancy a girl with thighs the size of tree trunks.
He said no one likes a girl with thighs as thick as tree trunks. (The man who said this should be dragged out and beheaded!)
Natalie: Not a nice guy, actually, in the end.
He's not a good man after all.
Prime Minister: No.You know, erm...being Prime Minister, I could just have him murdered.
Indeed. You know, uh... as Prime Minister, I could put him to death.
Natalie: Thank you, sir. I`ll think about it.
Thank you, sir. I will think about it.
Prime Minister: Do. The SAS are absolutely charming. Ruthless, trained killers are just a phone call away.
Consider it. The Royal Airborne Forces are quite charismatic. Cold-blooded professional killers are just a phone call away.
+++++++++++++++++++Split line
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Just some loose sentences. All are my favorites.
Love actually is all around.
True love is everywhere. When I was young and successful, I
was greedy and foolish, and now I`m left with no one, wrinkled and alone.
Wrinkled and alone.
Enough. Enough now.
Enough. That's enough.
Yes is being my answer. Easy question.
My answer is, ok. Very easy question.
