I have a request of you. My tape of “Dress to Kill” is worn down to a nub. It hardly plays anymore despite cleaning both my tape and my VCR. If anyone has a nice copy of that, or his older performance “Glorious” could you please let me know via email? Other than that… Je suis La Presidente de Burundi.
Sorry I can’t help you out with a copy. But I just wanted to say that I freakin’ love Eddie Izzard. The first time I saw him (on HBO) I just about soiled myself.
“First battalion, transvestite brigade, airbone wing, coming win with fantastic makeup.”
“Hey, look at that… what the hell they’ve got GUNS! Oh damn. I was surprised, were you surprised, cause i was surprised.”
“you killed a million people? you must get up very early in the morning. … Getup, shower, breakfast, death, death, death, death, lunch, death, death,death,death,death, afternoon tea, death…”
Right now my copy of “Dress to Kill” is on loan (for the millionth time), but my best friend found hers on Amazon, so you might try that. She said it’s a slightly different version, though.
Well, I’m no help either, but I wanted to add my love for Eddie. I wish I had been in the presence of mind to tape it when he was on HBO. Eddie almost made me wet my pants!
(from laughing, I mean. He doesn’t break into my house and force me to hold my bladder or anything.)
There’s no smoking in the bars in California. Soon, there’ll be no drinking and no talking.
Christ, I laughed so hard when I saw “Dress to Kill” I couldn’t breathe. I don’t have the tape, but I’ve watched it on HBO nearly every time it’s been on. The Emmys he got for that show were truly well deserved.
'Allo, Sue! I’ve got legs. D’you like…bread? I’ve got a French loaf. whump Byeeee! I love you…
And I swam like a boy chased by sharky sharky…
He’s a donut. It’s slang, he’s a fucking donut…
“Luke…the Force is strong with you.”
“Is it?”
“Um…yeah.”
“Well, who told you that?”
“Some bloke. He said that the Force is really rather strong with you.”
“Well, how strong?”
“Uh…as strong as a small pony.”
“Well, that’s quite strong, that is!”
She was like China in the United Nations Security Council…the United Nations Security Council of my virginity.
No flag, no country. Those are the rules that I’ve…just made up.
Look, you’re British, so scale it down a bit, all right?
…
I just showed Dress to Kill to my parents over the weekend–it’s the extended version, has about thirty-five minutes more than it did on HBO.
Oh, and Definite Article is nearly as funny*…but get the CD, if you can. It’s better than the video.
