When Louis Met... Max Clifford2002

[Max has taken Louis to the children's cancer unit of the Royal Marsden Hospital, where the boyband Westlife are coming to meet the children. Then Simon Cowell arrives]

Louis Theroux:
Here he is, Simon Cowell!

Simon Cowell:
How are you?

Louis Theroux:
How do you do? Nice to meet you.

[he shakes hands with Simon, who is smiling and friendly]

Louis Theroux:
How about that? How about that? It's the whole Max Clifford menagerie. And what are you doing here, today?

Simon Cowell:
Well, that's a good question, actually...

Max Clifford:
He's guest of honour. Basically, he arranged it. Because it was - I spoke to Simon, he spoke to Westlife.

Simon Cowell:
Well, I brought the Westlife boys down, yeah.

Louis Theroux:
Did you? Because you're their producer.

Simon Cowell:
Yeah.

Louis Theroux:
How brilliant. How funny. So, I picked up my, uh, regular sunday paper yesterday, which is The Sport, of course, and read about your sexual prowess.

Simon Cowell:
And?

Louis Theroux:
Is that all you want to say? I've got it...

[he pulls out a copy of the trashy tabloid paper. Simon laughs]

Simon Cowell:
Can I just say there are children present here, Louis.
