Are you the lead character of the movie The Wall ?
Yes!!! I am Pink Floyd , main character of the 1979 rock opera The Wall , who was portrayed by Bob Geldof in the 1982 film adaptation. Not to be confused with the band Pink Floyd that recorded said rock opera.
Congratulations and back to you, EH!
Well done, EH! I’ve heard of The Wall , but never saw it.

But Pink isn’t well, he stayed back at the hotel, and he sent us along as the surrogate band.
Well done, EH !

Prof.Pepperwinkle:
… Porky…
Ah, this reminds me of something from long ago:
Peter Percival Patterson had a pet pig named Porky.
This pet pig named Porky loved pie. He liked pizza pie, pumpkin pie, pineapple pie … mince tarts.
And Peter Percival Patterson’s pet pig Porky ate so much pie, that do you know what he did?
He popped.
Who knows where that comes from?
Ah, enough of your Monkee-shines.
OK, first time player, and going by wikipedia rules, so forgive me if I do this wrong.
