It's Sir George Martin. What a moment of reality that must have been for him.
Imagine there is just George and Ringo left.
They decide to have tea together.
After the greetings they sit down at a lovely table and pour tea.
GEORGE: So, it's just the TWO of us here today.Can you believe all that's happened? One lump or two?
RINGO: Unbelievable, George, simply unbelievable. Two, oh yes, two!
GEORGE: Yes, two then. You know, there aren't many of us left! Did you say two?
RINGO: Why yes,two. Three if you count the replacement.
GEORGE: Replacement? Do you mean Equal?
RINGO: Well, I wouldn't SAY equal, I would say pretty darned good, though! If fact, I wouldn't say much at all. (Laughs.)
GEORGE: So, which do you want, sugar or Equal?
RINGO: Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you meant---er, uh------ha ha ha the sugar....why, of course, of course, the sugar.
GEORGE: SO, what did you think I was talking about?
RINGO: Don't you remember?..oh, never mind....two then.
GEORGE: As you say. Two lumps---well then, (plunk plunk) here you go, Ringo. Jolly good.
RINGO: (Drinking) Delicioius tea, George, mighty delicious. Is this English breakfast?
GEORGE: No, its Darjheeling. In memory of George and the Mahareeshi and all that, ya' know!
RINGO: Oh, George, how thoughtful!! Really thoughtful. Could I have just a spot of cream, please.
GEORGE Yes, yes, let me pour, just say when.(He pours.)
RINGO: Well, the Tribute project went so....NOW!!!.....well. Everyone performed marvelously and the movie's a big hit in the States.
GEORGE: Too bad they couldn't be there. Is that really enough?
RINGO: They? They who, George? That's quite enough.
GEORGE: Well, you know, John and........John and......John and well, you know, what's his name! You can have more, if you like!
RINGO: Oh, right! What's-his name!!! Oh, yes but everybody loved it. AND Paul, who was DEFINITELY there, just loved it and performed with Dhani. Too much cream ruins the flavor..
GEORGE: I quite agree. Charming lad, how is he doing?
RINGO: Smashing. So talented, such a chip off the old block, say, what?You don't want to miss the TRUE flavor, now do you?
(The table goes quiet. George smiles pensively as he slowly sips awa y at his cup of tea. Ringo stares blankly at the walls, then suddenly picks up his cup and swallows it down whole.)
GEORGE: Goodness, Starkey! Have you seen a ghost? (Pausing, then looking compassionately at Ringo) Would you like another cup?
RINGO: Yes, but this time, have you any Sweet and Low?
GEORGE: Dieting, old boy? One packet or two?
RINGO: On second thought, I'll have it plain, if you don't mind.
GEORGE: Having second toughts?
RINGO: Don't you, old friend?
GEORGE: All the time, my lad, all the time.
OK, I rehashed this to raise my post count. And also to review my "early post catalog" and after rereading I am tempted to conclude that my style has.....my style has......my style has remained exactly the same for the last 3 years. Oh well, I still have the piano.
