Dr. Bean's speech
Igor Merfert
That's what happened to me when I started to write down the script of
Mr. Bean's speech made in his latest picture "Bean".
http://comserv.urz.uni-magdeburg.de/~merfert/disc_pa/bean.rm
(Real-Audio 5.0, ca. 365 KB).
I copied the part of the speech I am mostly in doubt of in this file:
http://comserv.urz.uni-magdeburg.de/~merfert/disc_pa/bean-q.wav
(WAV, ADPCM, ca. 60 KB).
Any help is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Igor M.

Um, uh, uh, well: Hello, I am Dr. Bean, apparently, and my job is to sit
and look at paintings.
Um, so, um, what have I learned that I can say about this painting?
Um, well, firstly, it's quite big, which is excellent, because if it was
really small, you know, microscopic, then hardly anybody would be able
to see it which would be a tremendous shame.
Um, secondly, and I am getting quite near the end now of this analysis
of this painting. Secondly, um, why was it worth, this man here,
spending 50 million of your American dollars on this portrait?
And the answer is, um, well: This picture is worth such a lot of money,
because, it's a picture of Whistler's mother. And as I've learned by
staying with my best friend David Langley and his family: Families are
very important. And even though Mr. Whistler was perfectly aware that
his mother was a hideous old bat who looked just like she had a cat just
that ??? up her backside, he stuck with her and even took the time to
paint this amazing picture of her. It's not just a painting, it's a
picture of a mad old cow who he thought the world of. And that's
marvelous. Well, that's what I think.

backside."

I like deadlines. I especially like the whooshing sound of them
as they go flying by.
