Here is the full Tennis script from Go West Young Man
Del
Yeah. Originally. Originally
from Peckham. But we spend most
of our time abroad now for tax
reasons. You know, yeah, we’re
on the international tennis
circuit.
Rodney
Del.
Del
Yeah, he’s an international
professional tennis player and
I’m his manager. You must have
heard of Rodney, yeah Rodney.
The sporting press call him Hot
Rodney.
Nicky
Don’t think I have. What’s the
surname?
Rodney
Trotter!
Nicky
Doesn’t ring a bell, sorry.
Del
No, no that’s because we
generally concentrate on the
big American tournaments, you
see.
Michele
Do you ever play Wimbledon?
Del
No, no, we only do the big ‘uns!
We’ve jut come back from the
Miami Open…
Nicky
Really? You’re not very tanned
for Miami, are you?
Rodney
No, no, it was an indoor
tournament.
Del
Yeah, yeah, it’s amazing that
innit. I mean they call it the
Miami Open and then they go an’
hold it indoors. That’s the
Yanks or yer though eh? Anyway
we can’t complain like because
he won it, he did, he er, beat
that Jimmy Connelly in the
final.
Michele
Jimmy Connelly? Don’t you mean
Jimmy Connors?
Del
No, he knocked that dildo out in
the first round, nine sets to
one! Actually we’re only in
London to get Hot Rodney here
measured up for a new bat.
Nicky
It’s a racquet!
Del
Bloody is the prices they charge,
darling. No also we thought it
might be an idea to give him
some practice on grass you see.
‘Cos over in the States they
use that stuff called Astroturf.
Michele
What do you prefer, Rodney?
Rodney
Pardon?
Michele
What do you prefer? Astroturf
or grass?
Rodney
I don’t know. I’ve never smoked
Astroturf.
Del
You wally! No, no, we’re not
really professional tennis
players!
Michele
We know!
Rodney
We’re just having a laugh.
Del
Yeah, just having a laugh
that’s all.
Nicky
What do you really do?
Del
We’re Concorde pilots!
