BUD: Pistachio melted. Vanilla, tutti frutti, caramel toffee, bitter egg and coffee.

BUD: The pistachio melted. Vanilla, caramel toffee, tutti frutti, bitter egg and coffee.

TERENCE: OK. Look, just give me a chocolate cone with a little pistachio.

BUD: What are you, deaf? The pistachio melted and I didn’t say chocolate.

TERENCE: Whoa, don’t get so excited. All right. What do you have again?

BUD: We have vanilla, tutti frutti, caramel toffee, bitter egg and coffee.

TERENCE: OK, I got it. Then give me a big mix, grandma. Tutti frutti, caramel toffee, vanilla, bitter egg and coffee. Hey, don’t forget the pistachio.

MAX: Come on in. Vague food crisis.

William and Anna move along the corridor to the kitchen.

BELLA: Hiya – sorry – the guinea fowl is proving more complicated than expected.

WILLIAM: He’s cooking guinea fowl?

BELLA: Don’t even ask.

ANNA: Hi.

BELLA: Hi. Good Lord – you’re the spitting image of…

She does a little pose, having worn a real party dress.

MAX: Yes, Happy Birthday. Look, your brother has brought this girl, and ahm…

HONEY: Hi guys. (sees Anna) Oh holy f***.

WILLIAM: Hun – this is Anna. Anna – this is Honey – she’s my baby sister.

ANNA: Hiya.

HONEY: Oh God this is one of those key moments in life, when it’s possible you can be really, genuinely cool – and I’m going to fail a hundred percent. I absolutely and totally and utterly adore you and I think you’re the most beautiful woman in the world and more importantly I genuinely believe and have believed for some time now that we can be best friends. What do you think?

ANNA: Ahm… I think that sounds – you know – lucky me. Happy Birthday.

HONEY: Oh my God. You gave me a present. We’re best friends already. Marry Will – he’s a really nice guy and then we can be sisters.

ANNA: I’ll think about it.

Rowan Atkinson Live – Elementary dating

Good evening and welcome to the Boston University Huntingdon theatre, for the second part of our course in elementary courting for men. May I say how pleased I am with tonight’s turnout, some 800 people, which is very gratifying. Tonight we look at the first date. Obviously taking out a girl for the first time is a very complex issue.

The first crucial step is, having arranged to pick up your date, not to look like a complete idiot when she first opens the door. Best to look as if your attention has been momentarily distracted. But when you do notice her it is vital to say how pretty she is looking straight away, but don’t overdo it. If at this point you are introduced to her parents, attitude is all important: You can be too casual. You can be too keen.
When you have said goodbye to the parents, again don’t overdo it, lead her to your car and remember to open the door.

Once in the car there are various ways of driving: If you drive like this, you might lose her respect. If you drive like this, you should have taken a taxi. Before long you’ll arrive at the restaurant. Get out of the car, and escort her to your table. Then tuck her into her seat – yourself, and attract the waiter’s attention. Selecting from the wine list is important, complete ignorance is not good. When the bottle arrives, there’s much to be made in the tasting of it, but don’t be too professional. With eating, again, moderation is the order of the day: Don’t eat too fast. – But don’t eat too slowly.

Next is receiving the bill. This is a very important moment, you must be sure not to lose your cool: This is right. – This is wrong. The girl may of course offer to pay herself, in which case you should refuse, for a while. Next stop is a fashionable discotheque. Once inside you might look slightly strange if you try and talk over the music, so just stand casually and look sexy. This is good. This is better. This is starting to be misguided.

After stance, dance technique is most important. Most people don’t know how to dance and so do too much. Other people do too little. Some people dance as if there’s something up their bottom. And other people dance as if there’s something coming out of their bottom.

When all is said and done it’s best probably not to dance at all. A well-mimed sporting injury is always useful and a good excuse for leaving the discotheque. If you don’t utterly foul it up, twenty minutes later you should be back at at your place. It’s important to relax and make your guest feel at home. She will probably feel as nervous as you do and there’s no need to make any extra special effort.

Then putting on the music, we can’t help you with the choice of CD, even though no matter what the circumstances, Donny and Marie Osmond’s greatest hits would be a mistake.
At all costs avoid the temptation to brag about your stereo.

Now comes the moment you’ve been waiting for, the seduction. This is the subject of next week’s lecture. However, as a rough guide: This is right, and this is, I think you’ll agree, disastrous.

CHUCKIE: Hey. When’s the arraignment?

WILL: Next week.

WILL: Sorry.

LAMBEAU: What’re you doing?

WILL: Sorry.

LAMBEAU: That’s people’s work, you can’t graffiti here. Don’t you walk away from me!

WILL: Hey, f*** you!

LAMBEAU: Oh, you’re a clever one. What’s your name? Oh my god…

TOM: Looks Right. 

I don’t want a lot for Christmas

There is just one thing I need

I don’t care about the presents

Underneath the Christmas tree

I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

All I want for Christmas is you, yeah.

I don’t want a lot for Christmas

There is just one thing I need

And I don’t care about the presents

Underneath the Christmas tree

I don’t need to hang my stocking

There upon the fireplace

Santa Claus won’t make me happy

With a toy on Christmas Day

I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

All I want for Christmas is you

You, baby

Oh, I won’t ask for much this Christmas

I won’t even wish for snow

And I’m just gonna keep on waiting

Underneath the mistletoe

I won’t make a list and send it

To the North Pole for Saint Nick

I won’t even stay awake to

Hear those magic reindeer click

‘Cause I just want you here tonight

Holding on to me so tight

What more can I do?

Baby, all I want for Christmas is you

You, baby

Oh, all the lights are shining

So brightly everywhere

And the sound of children’s

Laughter fills the air

And everyone is singing

I hear those sleigh bells ringing

Santa, won’t you bring me the one I really need?

Won’t you please bring my baby to me?

Oh, I don’t want a lot for Christmas

This is all I’m asking for

I just want to see my baby

Standing right outside my door

Oh, I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

Baby, all I want for Christmas is you

You, baby

All I want for Christmas is you, baby

All I want for Christmas is you, baby

All I want for Christmas is you, baby

All I want for Christmas is you, baby

GILBERT: Anne Shirley. What in heck are you doing?

ANNE: Fishing for lake trout.

GILBERT: For lake trout?

ANNE: Well, if you must know, I was in Diana’s skiff but it sprang a leak and I had to climb onto the piling or sink. Now, if you’d be so kind as to row me to the landing.

GILBERT: Ah, I see. Well, then the fact is I rescued you.

ANNE: Help was on the way and I was calmly waiting for it.

GILBERT: You’re most welcome.

ANNE: I am grateful for your assistance, Mr. Blythe, even though it was not required. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to find my friends. They are likely overcome with fear for my life.

GILBERT: Well, Anne, wait. Wait a minute. I was just down at the post office to see if the Queens results had been printed.

ANNE: Congratulations on coming first, Gilbert. I’m sure you’re very proud of your achievements.

GILBERT: Wait a second, you ninny. We tied for first place. You and I. I figured you’d have it for sure. We all passed – our entire class.

ANNE: First of all two hundred?

GILBERT: I’m sorry you had to share it with me.

ANNE: I never expected to beat you.

GILBERT: Can’t we be friends now? This childishness has gone on long enough, don’t you think?

ANNE: The fact that you rescued me unnecessarily hardly wipes out past wrongs.

GILBERT: Look, I’m sorry I ever said anything about your hair. You have no idea how sorry. But it was so long ago. Aren’t you ever going to forgive me?

ANNE: You hurt my feelings excruciatingly.

GILBERT: I only said it because I – Because I wanted to meet you so much.

ANNE: Why did you turn your back on me at the Christmas ball?

GILBERT: Anne, that was over a year ago.

ANNE: It was a deliberate humiliation.

GILBERT: And I knew exactly what you were thinking, too, Anne Shirley. You and Diana Barry. Look, can we be friends now?

ANNE: Why don’t you figure it out, if you’re so clever.

GILBERT: Anne, wait a minute.

ANNE: Everyone will think I’ve drowned.

LUKE: No, my father didn’t fight in the wars. He was a navigator on a spice freighter.

BEN: That’s what your uncle told you. He didn’t hold with your father’s ideals. Thought he should have stayed here and not gotten involved.

LUKE: You fought in the Clone Wars?

BEN: Yes, I was once a Jedi Knight the same as your father.

LUKE: I wish I’d known him.

BEN: He was the best star-pilot in the galaxy, and a cunning warrior. I understand you’ve become quite a good pilot yourself. And he was a good friend. Which reminds me… I have something here for you. Your

father wanted you to have this when you were old enough, but your uncle wouldn’t allow it. He feared you might follow old Obi-Wan on some damned-fool idealistic crusade like your father did.

THREEPIO: Sir, if you’ll not be needing me, I’ll close down for awhile.

LUKE: Sure, go ahead.

BEN: Your father’s lightsaber. This is the weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or as random as a blaster.

BEN: An elegant weapon for a more civilized age. For over a thousand generations the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic. Before the dark times, before the Empire.

LUKE: How did my father die?

BEN: A young Jedi named Darth Vader, who was a pupil of mine until he turned to evil, helped the Empire hunt down and destroy the Jedi Knights. He betrayed and murdered your father. Now the Jedi are all but extinct. Vader was seduced by the dark side of the Force.

LUKE: The Force?

BEN: Well, the Force is what gives a Jedi his power. It’s an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together.

BEN: Now, let’s see if we can’t figure out what you are, my little friend. And where you come from.

LUKE: I saw part of the message he was…

BEN: I seem to have found it.

LEIA: General Kenobi. Years ago you served my father in the Clone Wars. Now he begs you to help him in his struggle against the Empire. I regret that I am unable to present my father’s request to you in person, but my ship has fallen under attack, and I’m afraid my mission to bring you to Alderaan has failed. I have placed information vital to the survival of the Rebellion into the memory systems of this R2 unit. My father will know how to retrieve it. You must see this droid safely delivered to him on Alderaan. This is our most desperate hour. Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You’re my only hope.

BEN: [to Luke] You must learn the ways of the Force, if you’re to come with me to Alderaan.

LUKE: Alderaan? I’m not going to Alderaan, I’ve gotta get home, it’s late, I’m in for it as it is!

BEN: I need your help, Luke. She needs your help. I’m getting too old for this sort of thing.

LUKE: Look, I can’t get involved. I’ve got work to do. It’s not that I like the Empire; I hate it, but there’s nothing I can do about it right now… It’s all such a long way from here.

BEN: That’s your uncle talking.

LUKE: Oh, God, my uncle. How am I ever going to explain this?

BEN: Learn about the Force, Luke.

LUKE: Look, I can take you as far as Anchorhead. You can get a transport there to Mos Eisley or wherever you’re going.

BEN: You must do what you feel is right, of course.
