Rebecca : See this bit, it's the absolute worst.
Joey McCobb, the Stand Up Comic : [on the TV] Just because I still live with my mother people think I'm peculiar. So what if she's been dead for 15 years?
Rebecca : See? It's barely even a joke.
Joey McCobb, the Stand Up Comic : Well, it's like I always say, take my life... please!
[he bows and his audience applauds]
TV Announcer : Joey McCobb, the weee-irdest man in showbusiness!

[she switches the TV off]
Enid : Joey McCobb is our God.
Rebecca : I wanna do him.
Enid : I bet. Actually, he kind of reminds me of that one guy you went out with, Larry. God, what look was he going for, a gay tennis player from the '40s?
Rebecca : Fuck you.
Enid : You dated him.
