-What are you doing? What on earth are you doing?
-What do you mean?
-What is that cloth cap there for?
-Well, it's for the money
-Money? What money? What are you talking about? What are you doing?
-Well, I'm busking, ain't I?
-Busking? Busking? What busking? Busking what?
-Well, I play the mouth organ and people give me money.
- They give you money? People give you money? For playing the mouth organ like that? They actually give you money? They pay you?
-Well, some of them do. There's no harm in that.
-No harm in that? ''No harm in that,'' he says. You sit there sprawled against a paving stone, blowing through spittle, and people actually pay you? It's unbelievable.
-Oh, look, if you don't like it, you don't have to listen or give me anything, you know.
-Not like it? How could I like it? It's the most pathetic noise I've ever heard. And people give you money for it?
-Well, it's kindness as well, isn't it? They're just being kind.
-Just being kind? Just being kind? What do you mean, just being kind? If they were just being kind, they'd put a bullet through your head, wouldn't they? That's what I'd call being kind. Put you out of your misery.
-You're very insulting, you know.
- Yes, I know. Of course I'm insulting. I'm very insulting indeed. Especially to smelly, squalid poor people who can't play the harmonica properly.
- We share the same planet. Why can't you let me be?
- Share the same planet? Have you gone mad? Share the same planet? What are you talking about? ----The planet I inhabit is full of fast cars, restaurants, holidays in Barbados and fine wines. Your planet is full of bottles of meths, howling harmonicas and grimy doss houses. It's not the same planet at all. How dare you suggest otherwise?
-Well, you may not think it's the same planet, but it is. You couldn't have one without the other.
-Couldn't have one without the other? What are you talking about? -Are you saying I depend upon you?
-Of course you do. All your wealth is entirely propped up on a rotting hulk of my poverty. And one day, it will give way and you'll come crashing down with it.
- Rotting hulk? Rotting hulk? Have you gone mad? Rotting hulk! Is this communist talk? Are you a communist? Do you want me to call a policeman?
- It's not a crime to be a communist. Anyway, I'm not.
- Not a crime to be a communist? Of course it's a crime to be a communist. This is 1 989. Communists are the enemies of democracy. They should be locked away.
-Well, what's so good about democracy?
-What's so good about democracy? What's so good about democracy, ladies and gentlemen? Democracy is freedom of thought and belief and speech. That's what's so good about it, you degraded heap of smelliness. Get out of my way before I set fire to you. Get yourself a job, clean yourself up. It's demeaning to have the harmonica played at one by a heap of litter.
-Here, hold on, hold on.
-Hold on? Hold on? What do you mean, hold on?
-You ever seen a television programme called On The Streets with Bibby?
-On The Streets with Bibby? On The Streets with Bibby? Oh. Oh, you mean the one with hidden cameras?
-That's the one, yeah.
-Oh! Oh, yeah. You're not Bibby Peavis, are you? (MAN LAUGHING) Oh, are you really Bibby Peavis?
-No. But I might have been.
-Money? What money? What are you talking about? What are you doing? Well, I'm busking, ain't I? Busking? Busking? What busking? Busking what Well, I play the mouth organ and people give me money.
