Iha: Uh, there's some annoying American man yelling “Starla”. If any of you are near him, please bludgeon him with a large polo mallet.
BC: Normally, we don't recognize Americans in other countries. They tend to embarrass -- they tend to embarrass us wherever we go.
Iha: You know, the English are so...heh....
BC: Watch it, James. That's the last joke you’ll ever be [unintelligible 2-3 words].
Iha: (British accent) You cheeky sod, you. (normal voice) What do you yell at this point, “You fat bastard?” Is that the colloquial rock concert [2 unintelligible words] saying?
BC: I think this is when they start calling you a fucking wanker.
Crowd: You fat bastard! You fat bastard! You fat bastard!
Iha: Uh...what? Heh heh. Ace of Base, Ace of Base?
Starla
