Talán sokan nem tudják, de George Michael nem csak legendás énekes volt, de kitűnő humorával számos tévéműsorban és sorozatban is szerepelt.
After a joyful day sitting on a bench Lou is taking Andy home for his dinner.
Lou: It’s your birthday coming up, and I thought we could do something special and I’ve booked a table up the Harvester.
Andy: Yeah, I know.
Lou: Is there anyone you want me to invite?
Andy: George Michaels.
Lou: George Michaels? We don’t know him.
Andy: Yeah, I know.
Lou: I don’t think he’d come. And besides, you don’t like George Michaels. You said that “Jesus to a Child” aside, you found his output emotionally vapid.
Andy: Yeah, I know.
Lou: What about your brother, Declan?
Andy: George Michaels!
Lou: So birthday boy, what would you like for your main?
Andy: I want that one.
Lou: Ice cream. And what do you want for your pudding?
Andy: That one.
Lou: Garlic bread.
Lou: I must just get something in a minute. Wait there.
Lou: Oh you know, you are here. Thank you so much for coming. He’s gonna be a bit nervous.
George Michae: That’s ok, I’d like to do my bit.
Lou: Andy, I have a surprise for you. This is George Michaels.
George Michael: Hello, Andy.
[pause]
George Michael: Nice to meet you
[pause]
George Michael: . Happy birthday.
Andy: I don’t like him. I want him to go. I prefer Tony Hadley.
Lou: Sorry about this, George. You’d better go.
Andy: Tell him that “Jesus to a Child” aside, I find his output emotionally vapid.
Lou: Did you get that George?
George Michael: Yeah, thank you.
