Critics Two

	Stephen and Hugh are in the swivel chairs again, being 
	revolting.


Stephen		Well of course what I found particularly
		disappointing was their choice of ...

Hugh		Did that work for you?

Stephen		What?

Hugh		Their choice of ...

Stephen		No it didn't. I felt it was a mistaken choice, a
		misguided choice, a badly chosen choice.

Hugh		They could have chosen better?

Stephen		I think so. And of course, if they had chosen
		better ...

Hugh		Which they didn't.

Stephen		Well of course not. But if they had, their
		limitations would have ...

Hugh		I was going to ask you about that.

Stephen		But you didn't.

Hugh		I was going to.

Stephen		Well then, yes. Just so limited, you see. And that
		was bound to limit them.

Hugh		So they were limited by their own limitations?

Stephen		Nicely put.

Hugh		Thank you. That leads me on to another question.
		May I?

Stephen		Of course.

Hugh		Thanks. I wonder, is there a sense in which you're
		not completely revolting?

Stephen		No sense whatsoever. I've looked hard for a sense,
		but at the end of it all I've come up senseless.

Hugh		Does that I wonder tie in with ...

Stephen		Precisely my point. Could one say, from any
		critical standpoint yet devised, that you are any
		distance at all from being utterly repulsive.

Hugh		Ah. Now that's interesting.

Stephen		Oh dear. Wasn't meant to be.

Hugh		Never mind. There'll be other opportunities
		I'm sure.

VOX POP
Hugh		It only takes about ten minutes
		apparently, and when you
		come out, you look exactly like
		Keith Harris.
