IT'S YOU ISN'T IT?

I get them all the time now, them people who come up to you ..... (LOOKS IN DELIGHTED SURPRISE) "It's you isn't it? From off the telly. It's him, Muriel, off the telly, off that, what is it?......... that Vulture thing..... Vulture Days."
"Phoenix Nights."
"That's it. You look just like you do on the telly."
Well who did you expect I'd look like you silly cow, the Duke of Edinburgh? Beyonce?
That's really funny that Phoenix thing, you in that wheelchair, you'd never guess you weren't a cripple. You aren't a cripple are you? No, because you'd be in a wheelchair and you're not, are you. "
"I've had a miracle - this Jewish bloke in a dress and long hair."
"My husband's your biggest fan, my Dwayne. You met him once after one of your shows. Tall bloke, glasses, bad breath, you must remember him. He's got a photo of you pinned up in the lavatory. You're looking right at me when I'm having a poo."
"Nice."
"And you play two parts, don't you, in that Vulture thing. The owner and one of them two on the door. That's dead clever, that. How do you do it? I suppose you keep having to get changed? You must be knackered by the end, you changed seventeen times in one episode. And sometimes you're in the same scene, and you're, like, talking to yourself. That's dead clever that. I mean I talk to myself sometimes but that's the HRT, but you....."
"He has a double." This is her mate, Muriel. "Don't you? When you're in the same scene. Have a double?"
"Thanks, I'll have a scotch."
"Have a scotch! You're a scream, isn't he a scream Muriel."
"You're a scream, Peter."
"Hey, can I have you autograph?"
"Why not."
" Brenda, it is. I haven't got a pen."
"No problem." (TAKES OUT PEN)
"I've nothing to write it on I'm afraid."
"I'll sign you a photo." (TAKES OUT A PHOTO) "What message shall I put?"
"You pick one."
(WRITING ON PHOTO) "Fuck...off...Brenda."
