Excuse me. You know, we just shot

a lot of film for the interview,

and talking about all that.

I was wondering now if you can

really tell us the truth and stuff.

Oh, no.

It's... I mean, the truth

as you want to hear it?

I can't do that.

You couldn't afford me.

But you're a very different person now

to the desperate young man

of the early '60s, aren't you?

Yeah, I'm a desperate old fart now.

Not boring, though.

So there.

I've been saving that.

You've all been behaving

this crazy way well all the time.

You're all married, aren't you?

No.

I wouldn't marry this lot.

That's a great sleeve, that is.

- If you touch my bleeding sleeve...

- See?

He's getting stroppy now.

You leave his sleeves alone.

Personal, them.

Can't touch the interviewer, can we?

No, he's in command, isn't he?

He can make everybody else

look a right twit,

as long as you don't

have a go at him.

How long have you been

happily married, then?

You really do have a lovely life line.

Have I a long life line?

- Here about the warts.

- No, not too long.

I should say about half a fortnight.

Ladies and gentlemen, before my life line,

according to him is two minutes long,

which means we've got

to the end of the program.

We will be back, God willing,

same time, same place, next week.

- See you then. Good night.

- He's so smooth.

"RUSSELL HARTY PLUS"

This is where it all ends.

I can't think of anything to say.

Rock and roll's never ever stood

dissecting and inspecting it

at close range.

It just doesn't stand up.

So shut up.

There is a place for us.

I am accused of letting

the side down, as it were,

often by our fans, you know.

Like, for example,

you can't stop doing this.

You can't stop doing

what you're doing

because you'd let down

all these people.

It's not people just saying

"Listen, you'll disappoint your fans

if you don't go on. The show must go on.

You must go on, otherwise

all those people will be so upset."

It's "You've got to go on, man.

Otherwise, all those kids,

they'll be finished.

They'll have nothing to live for.

That's rock and roll.

Thank you, Thank you.
