Person 1: Could you think our seats can go forward a bit?
Person 2: They probably can, can’t they? This is what happened in Rome all those years ago — I was left in the back on the bench.
Person 1: Oh, I like that story. It’s true, yeah — you didn’t play, did you?
Person 2: No, I was on the bench.
Person 1: What are you doing?
Person 2: Seeing if I can pull it forward a bit.
Person 1: Oh my God, being in the back with him… What is going on here?
Person 2: Hang on, hang on. Move it forward. Push it forward.
Person 1: What? Push it forward? You’re pushing the whole car!
Person 3: It’s setting off!
Person 1: Oh my God — stop messing, will you? Idiot, put the brake on!
Person 2: It’s not even funny.
Person 3: Brake’s not on — it’s not funny. This cannot be safe.
Person 1: God, this is not right…
Person 2: What’s happened? Put the— Jesus!
Person 1: Alright, here we are. I’ve got the directions here, so we’re cool.
Person 3: Okay, look — we’ve got the directions to drive.
Person 1: I’ll try. I can drive.
Person 2: Right, here we go. This is the brake here, this the clutch—
Person 3: Of course it’s the clutch. That’s the clutch there.
Person 1: That’s the brake down there.
Person 2: Where’s the clutch?
Person 1: On the left — the clutch is there.
Person 3: Yeah, that’s what I was saying. You’re fine, honestly.
Person 1: You’re getting really annoying.
Person 2: Turn it on — let’s rock and roll, baby!
Person 3: This boy hasn’t had a manual car for a long, long time.
[A Few Moments Later]
Person 2: Have you tried to start it?
Person 1: Yes — what are you doing, pet?
(They flag someone down)
Local: Hello! How do you start this 1969 car?
Local 2: Turn the key, and then the small stick on the right — pull it up, then push the gas. Push gas!
Person 1: Right, it’s ready now?
Local: Yes — four gears, one reverse. Enjoy! Good luck!
Person 3: Great instructions, those. Only four gears.
Person 2: But Roy, if you’re not comfortable, you don’t have to do it.
Person 1: I’m fine.
[In the Car Again]
Person 2: Oh, Gary’s awake now, is he?
Person 3: Not big enough for him to fit in, though!
Person 2: Why aren’t you driving? You’re supposed to be driving — this is your city!
Person 3: This is where you became a team player — you lost your selfishness as a striker. You thought, I’m going to do a job for the team, am I right?
Person 2: (laughs) I like that.
(Laughter and music)
Person 1: Focus, Roy. Focus!
Person 2: I’m just worried I’ll go into reverse — my feet are too big, they’re hitting each other!
Person 3: Let’s pull over. I’ll do it.
Person 2: No, no — let’s get going smooth first. I just won’t be smooth. Look at my feet — too big for the pedals, these trainers are covering all of them!
Person 1: What’s that building over there? Looks unbelievable.
Person 3: Oh, that’s amazing — do I know it?
(Laughter)
Person 2: I love Gladiator.
Person 3: How would you train to be a gladiator? Just fight people, isn’t it?
Person 1: Yeah, just fighting.
Person 2: With what — swords?
Person 3: I think it’s absolutely stunning. That building must be over a thousand years old — some guy built that, on a hill! If that was in Manchester, you’d try to turn it into a hotel.
(Music playing)
Person 1: Oh, hold on — she wasn’t happy.
Person 3: Sorry! Sorry — English idiots!
Person 2: Go, Roy, go on — watch out! What’s he doing?
Person 3: He’s taking the piss!
Person 2: Good one, Roy — see him up there!
Person 1: Oh look — the Colosseum!
Person 3: I mean, look at that. They built that 2,000 years ago, without scaffolding!
Person 1: Oh my gosh.
Person 2: Don’t let them get in front of you, Roy — they’ll cut us off. Go hard!
Person 1: Excuse me — your leg!
Person 2: I can’t change gear, honestly.
Person 3: What are you doing?
Person 2: I’m trying to move my leg — that’s better. Get your arm off my back now!
Person 3: There are people behind us!
(Laughter and shouting)
Person 1: Come on — he’s having a go at your driving!
Person 3: Oh, this is better, look — he’s laughing now. Give him the finger!
(Laughter, applause)
Interviewer: How was it carrying Gary as a passenger?
Roy: Well, I’ve been doing it for years!
Lovely car — a classic. But I think he did a lot of damage to it when I wasn’t watching, so I felt sorry for the guy when I gave it back.
