• Patrick Stewart : I will "Make It So."

  [blank look from Andy] 

  Patrick Stewart : You've seen "Star Trek: The Next Generation?"

  Andy Millman : I haven't, no.

  Patrick Stewart : Why? Your wife won't let you have it on?

  Andy Millman : I'm not married.

  Patrick Stewart : Oh, your girlfriend then?

  Andy Millman : I haven't got a girlfriend either. I live alone.

  Patrick Stewart : You're not married, you haven't got a girlfriend... and you've never watched "Star Trek?"

  Andy Millman : No.

  Patrick Stewart : Good Lord...

• [Andy has come to see Patrick Stewart in his trailer] 

  Patrick Stewart : I'm writing a screenplay and I find the whole process absolutely exhilarating.

  Andy Millman : What's yours about, if you don't mind my asking?

  Patrick Stewart : Well, uh - how best to explain it; you've seen me in "X-Men"...

  Andy Millman : Yeah.

  Patrick Stewart : The character I am, Professor Charles Xavier, if you remember, he can control things with the power of his mind - can make people do things and see things, so I thought, what if you could do that for real? I mean, not in a comic book world, but in the real world.

  Andy Millman : Oh, all right.

  Patrick Stewart : So in my film, I play a man who controls the world with his mind.

  Andy Millman : Right. Oh, that's interesting.

  Patrick Stewart : Yeah. For instance, I'm walking along, and I see this beautiful girl, and I think I'd like to see her naked, and so all her clothes fall off.

  Andy Millman : All her - clothes fall off?

  Patrick Stewart : Yes, and she's scrabbling around to get them back on again, but even before she can get her knickers on, I've seen everything. Yeah. I've seen it all.

  Andy Millman : [pause]  Okay. It's a comedy, is it?

  Patrick Stewart : No. It's about what would happen, you know, if these things were possible.

  Andy Millman : What's the story, though, what's the...

  Patrick Stewart : Well, I do other stuff; like I'm riding my bike in the park, and this policewoman says "Oi! You can't ride your bike on the grass!" and I go "Oh no?" And her uniform falls off, and she goes "Ahh!" and she's trying to cover up, but I've seen everything anyway. And I get on my bike and I ride off. On the grass.

  Andy Millman : [increasingly uncomfortable]  So it's mainly you sort of go around seeing ladies' tits?

  Patrick Stewart : Mainly.

• Patrick Stewart : And I do other stuff, like I go to the World Cup final, and it's Germany versus England, and I wish that I were playing, and suddenly I am, and I score the winning goal, and they carry me into the dressing room and there's Roony and Beckham and then Posh Spice walks in and...

  Andy Millman : Her clothes fall off?

  Patrick Stewart : Instantly.

  Andy Millman : Sure.

  Patrick Stewart : And she doesn't know what's happening, but I've...

  Patrick Stewart , Andy Millman : [in unison]  seen everything.

  Andy Millman : [pause]  Good. Is there a narrative at all, is there like a story in the film, or is it just...

  Patrick Stewart : Well, I'm a sort of a James Bond figure...

  Andy Millman : Right.

  Patrick Stewart : And I have to go to Iraq, to rescue these hostages. And I get there and I rescue them, but they're all women and they're naked because their clothes have rotted off. But I get them into the helicopter, and I'm flying the helicopter, but I can still sneak a look in the mirror and I can see everything, you know. One of them's bending over, two of them are kissing...

  Andy Millman : They've turned lesbian.

  Patrick Stewart : Yeah, because they've been in the camp for so long.

  Andy Millman : Can happen. Well, look, good luck with that. I've just written a sitcom, but I wonder if you could give it to anyone you know, you know, in film or TV...

  Patrick Stewart : Is there any nudity in it?
