    Was watching Jonathan Ross earlier guests included Stephen Fry Tom Cruise and Lee Evans.

    Anyway during the interview with Fry they got on to how he would have delivered the lines of cruise in Jerry McGuire

    First was something like "Excuse me but would you kindly exhibit the money?"
    second was "You had me at 'Good Morning Madam'"

    i lold. So what lines would you like to have seen/heard Stephen Fry delliver in his own Special well spoken way.

    Lock them and Load them Gentlemen! Oh and of course the ladies may join in aswell.

    Similar thing happened to Roger Moore on Graham Norton a few year back, Graham had a photo of him suggestively shaking a bottle of champagne in the back of a limo with the spray quick-shutter frozen.

    Moore interrupts, completely deadpan, in his best Fry-ish droll, 'it went off in my hand'

    Stephen Fry in Scarface would have delivered the line thus........

    one is humorous in what way? One is humorous akin to a circus entertainer? One amuses you? One causes you to chuckle? One is present for the purpose of amusing you? What is one referring to with regard to humorous? How is one humorous?

    A little bit of artistic licence is fine, but really he should just be reading the lines as in the script. :)

    True. Maybe it would be more apt to ask what if Stephen Fry had written the script. Also some people seem to be leaning towards Shakspeare. To be honest though i like the thread and it's going roughly in the direction i had hoped with a little miandering in betwixed.
    So in conclusion i'll allow it, it is my thread after all :).

    Thanks for the input though my Young Indonesian Coffee Friend it is most greatly appreciated as usual.
