Drop the Dead Donkey1990
Gus Hedges:
Do you know what he called me? A mediocrity.
Dave Charnley:
Who?
Gus Hedges:
Sir Royston, last week. And do you know something else. He's right. And that's why I've got to do it. Get out, kick out, move arse, because I'm a medi-bloody-ocrity! Oh God! [he drops his head in his hands]
Dave Charnley:
...I suppose you're not interested in a lobster?
Gus Hedges:
You know, it's easier if you're like Alex and you've got talent. It's easy if you're like you and you're completely bloody hopeless. But when you're average,you have to fight, steal, cheat and work bloody hard just to stay where you are. That's what we mediocrities have to do. [pause] Isn't it Sally?
Sally Smedley:
Sorry Gus, I don't quite get your drift.
