I tuned into this group because I knew THIS was THE place to ask for the
|
|
words to the apology offered by John Cleese while hanging upside-down
|
|
from a high window, held by Kevin Klein in the movie, "A Fish Called
|
|
Wanda."
|
|
|
|
Sure enough, not a day or two later, a gent from Australia answered.
|
|
Thought I'd share it with you:

G'day Brian,
|
|
|
|
Here's the apology scene from a Fish Called Wanda. (From the script)
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
OTTO: You take it back...
|
|
|
|
The camera is turning through 180 degrees and now pulls back
|
|
rapidly, to reveal Archie dangling upside down out of the window
|
|
of the flat. Otto is holding him by his ankles. The river bed,
|
|
uncovered by water at low tide, is seventy feet below.
|
|
|
|
ARCHIE: I do. I offer a complete and utter retraction. The imputation was
|
|
totally without basis in fact, and was in no way 'fair comment' and
|
|
was motivated purely by malice and I deeply regret any distress that
|
|
my comments may have caused you or your family...
|
|
|
|
(People on the bank below are staring up.)
|
|
|
|
...And I hereby undertake not to repeat any such slander at any time
|
|
in the future.
|
|
|
|
OTTO: (hesitates). OK.
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
Thanks, Dave!!! I sure do appreciate it! I do believe I'm going to try
|
|
some "funny business" with my girlfriend this weekend. Knowing her,
|
|
this apology will come in handy. <grin>
|
|
|
|
Your friend in Lawrence, Massachusetts...
