The IT Crowd (2006–2013): Season 2, Episode 3 - Moss and the German - full transcript

Whilst Jen flees Doug's advances and looks for a place where she is allowed to smoke Moss, feeling that he spends too much time with Roy, answers an advert for what he thinks is a German cookery course though in fact Johann, the German who placed the ad, is a cannibal who wants somebody to eat. Hearing that Johann has a state of the art television Roy pretends to offer himself as a victim, solely so that he can watch his new pirate DVD. Before anybody is eaten though there is a police raid but they are more concerned with the pirate DVD than cannibalism.

You wouldn't steal a handbag,

you wouldn't steal a car,

you wouldn't steal a baby...

...you wouldn't shoot a policeman...

and then steal his helmet.

You wouldn't
go to the toilet in his helmet...

...and then send it to the
policeman's grieving widow

and then steal it again!

Downloading films is stealing.

If you do it you WILL
face the consequences.

Man, these anti-piracy ads
are getting really mean.



I think we're sitting
too close to the screen.

The floor's all sticky over here.

All right. OK, let's move back then.

Ahhh.

I still think we're too close.

Well, then sit in the sink.

I'm not sitting in the sink again.

OK, princess.

Your flat is way too
small for this telly

That's fantastic.

Ahhh.

What's wrong now?

I need to go to the toilet.

Well, then go.



I'll hold it in.

PHONE RINGS

Hello?

Hello, Roy.

Hello, Roy.
Hello Jeff

Now, you know I
changed my name by deed poll...

I'm not calling you Dominator, Jeff.

I'm not calling you Dominator,Jeff.
But I am Dominator

Whatever. I won't call you it.

Forget it. Um now... listen,

I was just wondering, have
you seen the new Tarantino film?

I'm just about to watch it now, Jeff.

I have already seen it.

At the end there's
a very unusual twist.

Aw!

Ah no.
Oh, now I know there's a twist.

I'm gonna spend the whole
film guessing what it is.

Damn you, Dominator.

Try and forget there's a twist.

Oh, how can you
forget there's a twist?

Oh, what's wrong with it now?

Oh, come on.
If I don't see this film today then

Jeff'll find out some way of telling
me what the twist is, I know he will.

Come on! Work!

Oh, look, I have to go.

Moss.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
What's up with you?

I can't do this any more.

Do what? Moss, what are you
talking about? Here, let me help...

We're just watching the film, Moss.

Come on Roy, can't you see it?

See what, Moss?

See what, Moss?
We go to a film, sometimes the pub,
maybe get some dinner

but it just goes on and on,
year in, year out. We're stagnating.

You make it sound like we're
an old married couple.

You make it sound like we're
an old married couple.
But we are. Can't you see?

You're my wife, Roy,
you're my wife. You're my wife.

We should be married to ladies
but we're married to each other.
You're my wife.

Could you stop calling me your wife?

Could you stop calling me your wife?
You're my wife Roy,
and I can't take it anymore

If anything, I'm the husband

Whoa, whoa, whoa,
what's this? What's this?

Oh, come on.

We don't even have ventilation here.

We don't even have ventilation here.
I'll stand over here

We don't even have ventilation here.
I'll stand over here
I don't care. No.

I don't wanna go out on the street.
It's too...

Soviet out there.

Soviet?

Yes.
It's cold, everyone looks oppressed.

You know,
I remember when smoking was fun.

All the cool kids were doing it.

Every time I want a cigarette
now I have to go to Gorky Park.

PHONE RINGS

Don't answer that.

Don't answer that.
Why not?

That's a man called Dominator who
wants to tell me the twist in a film

that I've been waiting to see
for ages. Don't answer it.

Dominator?

His real name is Jeff Hawthorne.

His real name is Jeff Hawthorne.
We have to answer the phone

No, we don't. No, look...
he'll give up in a second.

I know Jeff. He'll need to go to the
toilet in about another two rings.

PHONE RINGS

PHONE RINGS AGAIN

PHONE STOPS RINGING

We're answering the phones.

We are not answering the phones.

You all right, Moss?

I've got the blues, Jen.

Why?

Well, Roy and I are becoming
like an old married couple.

Oh, will you please stop saying that?

And I'm the husband!

We just seem to do the
same thing day in, day out.

I'm stagnating, Jen,
like a packet of crisps on the roof.

It seems to me the problem is that
you spend too much time together.

You should get out there
and meet other people.

Other people?

Yes.

You mean people other than Roy?

Well, yes.

And these "other people",
where do they congregate?

You could do an evening class
or something.

Hold on a second.
What exactly am I supposed to do

while she's out gallivanting
at her night classes and what not?

You could meet other people as well.

Yeah.
I don't like people.

Ah, well, now that's not fair, Roy.
Have you met all of them?

I've met enough of them.

People!
What a bunch of bastards.

PHONE RINGS

Stephanie. ...Yes, hello.

Oh, of course. ..OK. Bye.
Ohh...!

I'm off.
Douglas is coming down.

Douglas, why?

Well, to be honest with you,
he's been making advances.

You know, little things like

asking me if I wanna go
for a ride in his helicopter.

I'd like to go for a ride
in a helicopter.

Well, grow a pair of tits.

Tell you what, if I did
have tits, I wouldn't mind

letting someone have a go on them
for a ride in a helicopter.

Look who it is, everyone.

It's only me.

Jen, do you have a moment?

No, I don't I'm very busy. I don't
wanna go for a ride in a helicopter.

That wasn't what I
was gonna ask.

What d'you want, then?

Um...

something work-related?

What department is this?

Sorry?

If it's work-related, obviously
you'll know what department this is.

What department is this?

Some sort of, er
homosexual department?

IT, it's IT.

IT. I knew that, yes.

That's what I wanted, actually.

You see, my computer's broken
and I need someone to fix it.

Roy's your man.

Ergh.

How do you fellas get any
work done with a hot piece

of finger licking chicken like that?

Me...

I'd be a 24-hour tripod.

Watch this, it looks good.

Um, yeah, I've actually been really
looking forward to seeing this.

You wanna come round to mine?
We can watch it there.

I gotta pretty nifty
home cinema system.

Um, well, mine is broken but I think
that maybe I'll just watch it...

Excellent, that's settled!
Seven o'clock tonight.

I'll get my PA to phone you
with my name and address.

Ciao.

Whoa, there. That's not my office.

Ciao.

Well, what's good for the goose
is good for the gander.

And I'm the gander!

I hear the ballet in Prague
is excellent this season.

Hello, Yorg.

Hello, Jen.

Terrible isn't it?
Every year it gets worse.

First they take away our smoking
room, then they push us outside.

I wonder when they will decide just
to get it over with and kill us.

Oh,Yorg...

such a pessimist!

Has he gone?

Has who gone?

Has who gone?
Bruce Wayne

Oh, he's long gone, although
Roy's got a man date with him.

It is not a man date.

I am not a man-woman, we are
not married, I am not your wife!

You'd willingly spend
time with Douglas?

I really have to see this film soon.

PHONE RINGS

Oh, by the way I took your advice
about those evening classes.

I'm going to learn how to cook.

Oh, I'm so pleased, Moss! And I
have to say women do love a cook.

Well, I answered an ad online.

This time next month, when you
want German cuisine, I'm your man.

German cuisine?

Is German cuisine not good?

No. Sounds fine.

There's nothing more romantic
than a glass of wine

and some Schweinefleicsh.

Good, because usually when I try
something new it ends up a disaster.

(GERMAN ACCENT) Oh...! I got
a reply to my advertisement.

Maurice Moss.

Mmm, he sounds delicious!

(CACKLES)

Oh!

Ahh! Guten Abend. I mean hello.

Hello. I'm Moss.

Hello. I'm Moss.
Yes, yes, yes. I'm Johan
Come in, come in.

Oh. Nice TV.

Ah.

Ah.
Good distance from the sofa

Would you...
Would you like a drink?

Ah yeah, white Russian, please.

I don't know that.
How d'you make that?

I don't know that.
How d'you make that?
I don't know.
We might as well get to it.

Really? Gosh.

So eager, so brave.

Well, you know, once I've made up
my mind to do something, that's it.

Oh, that's very admirable.

So just do whatever you want with me.
I'm ready for anything.

Ah! Well, right,
I will I suppose, um...

take your clothes off
and we'll get started.

Right.

So how long does this course last?

So how long does this course last?
Er, sorry?

How long does this course last?

How long does this course last?
Course, what course?

Hang on, take my clothes off?

Yes.

Sorry I'm confused

Well, so am I.

What did you think this was?

Well, I was going to eat you.

I may have misheard you there.

Did you just say that
you were going to eat me?

Yes.

Right, you did say that. Yes.

Yeah, no, I'm here for the cookery.

Yeah, no, I'm here for the cookery.
No, no, no, this is the cookery.

Look, I've got your advert here...

Yes.

Yes.
I printed it out.

Yes.

I want to cook with you.

Ah no, no, my English
is not so good, um...

Ohhhh!

You want to cook with me,
using me, you mean.

Ah yes! Yes. You see.

Oh, yes, yes.

I see where the confusion was.
I thought this was a cookery course.

I see where the confusion was.
I thought this was a cookery course.
Hahaha. No, no.

But you wanted someone who would
agree to let you kill and eat them.

Ja,ja. You see?

Ja,ja. You see?
That is funny

Ehh.

So you're not interested?

Oh, no, thanks, it's not for me.

How disappointing.

I'm sorry, Johan,
this must be such a let down.

Had my tonsils out last month,
I could have kept them.

Ahh.

I feel like such a turnip.

Do you want to watch a film?

OK.

I have Oceans Eleven.

Original or remake?

Well, yeah, you could come over here,
we could put on some music,

I could give you a back rub,
see what happens.

Oh, no, wait, I've got this guy
coming over to watch a DVD.

Another time, maybe. OK.

Oh, and some chicken wings, please.
Thank you.

DOORBELL

Ah!

# There's somebody at the door,
there's somebody at the door

# There's somebody at the door. #

Hey, it's my G.

Um, I'm really sorry I was late.
It was...

It's cool. Hey, you know, we should
do this sort of thing more often.

I hate the whole boss/employee
thing, don't you?

Yeah.

You wanna seal the deal
with a high five?

You wanna seal the deal
with a high five?
Yes.

(LAUGHS)

So, what are we watching?

So, what are we watching?
It's a Tarantino production
south Korea zombie movie

Wow!

I didn't know there was
a south Korea. OK, put it on.

I've ordered pizza and chicken wings

and there's a cooler beside you,
so help yourself to beer.

and there's a cooler beside you,
so help yourself to beer.
Don't mind if I do.

FILM STARTS

Oh, I've heard of this flick.
There's a twist in it, isn't there?

Yeah.

Just... just try and

Forget that and hopefully
we'll still be able to enjoy it.

I bet he's a woman, that bloke.
No, you think it's the future,

but it's actually set in the past.

It's not Earth.

It's all a dream.

Oh, could you not...
could you... could you not try and

guess what the twist is? It's just
that might get a little annoying.

But isn't that half the fun,
trying to guess the twist?

Er, personally, I think it...

it kind of, it ruins the fun.

Well, I think it makes it more fun.

It's just I don't.

Well, I do and I'm the boss.

I'm your boss.

(IMITATES GUNSHOT)

They're all clones.
He's his own brother.

Everyone's a ghost.

Have you still not
seen the film yet?

Have you still not
seen the film yet?
No.

What's that?

What?

It's cold and I'm going out
for a cigarette.

Morning.
Oh, you must be Jen's mother.

What a night I had last night.

Oh, yes, the cookery, how was it?

I am so embarrassed,
I cannot tell you.

What happened?

It wasn't a cookery class at all.

What was it?

He wrote it down wrong,
cos his English isn't very good.

He wrote it down wrong,
cos his English isn't very good.
Always the way.

And it turns out he didn't
want to teach me how to cook...

And it turns out he didn't
want to teach me how to cook...
(THEY GIGGLE)

He wanted to cook me.

THEY LAUGH

THEY STOP LAUGHING

What?

He wanted to eat me.

I know - egg and my face
were in alignment.

He wanted to eat you?

Yes.

Oh!

He's one of those German cannibals

He is and he was such a nice man.

Oh, was he?

Yeah. He was a fine young cannibal.

Hang on, hang on, he...
he... he wanted to eat you.

Yeah, keep up Jen.

So we had a laugh about it
and in the end I didn't

really feel like being eaten,
so we just watched Ocean's Eleven.

Ah. Original or remake?

Ah. Original or remake?
Is that really the
most important question?

I... I...hang on, you watched a...
you watched a film with him? Yes.

With the man that wanted to eat you?

With the man that wanted to eat you?
Who else?

Why didn't you call the police?

Why didn't you call the police?
Why would I call the police?

He wanted to eat you!

Only with my consent and, believe me,
my consent was not forthcoming.

Good for you, Moss.

But, eh...
eating people is illegal.

Only without their consent.

No, Moss, no, no, no.

It's a grey area, give me that.

I knew something was askew.

Whoever heard of German food?!

But you should see his place,
it's incredible.

He's got a great system, 50 inch TV.

Really?

Maybe we could watch
the film at his place!

Maybe we could watch
the film at his place!
Oh, I don't know Roy,

he's only really interested
in people he can eventually eat.

he's only really interested
in people he can eventually eat.
Ahh. Tell him he can eat me!

Are... are you insane?
You've got to call the police.

Oh, Jen,
don't be such an old fuddy-duddy.

The world has changed.

If two grown men can't make
a pervert happy for a few minutes

in order to watch a film
about zombies then maybe

we should all just move to Iran.

I don't know, Roy, it does seem
a little immoral to mislead him.

But then, as Jen pointed out earlier,

being a cannibal's
a little immoral too.

I'm in an ethical pickle.

Turns out meeting new people
is a lot more complicated than

I'd originally thought.

Psst, Jen.

Yorg.

You cannot smoke here. They are
moving us to a new smoking area.

Oh, so the rumours were true.

Quickly, before they see you.

Jen, what are you doing?

It's over, Yorg.

We must fight them Jen

We must all fight them. We must
keep smoking until the bitter end.

Yorg. Yorg, such fire.

I am too tired for revolution.

And we've walked (BLEEP) miles.

Goodbye, Yorg.

Taxi!

Let's not fight again.

No. And look, we're out,
we're meeting people.

Yes.

Ah?

You were a bit wonky.

Thanks, dear.

Hello! Hello!

Hello! How wonderful!

Johan, this is Roy.
Roy, this is Johan.

Hello Johan. I... I brought dessert.

Ahh! Come in. Come in. Ja.

Oh, this is lovely...

Yes. Yes. Lovely.

Oh, isn't this nice.

OK, so we'll watch the film, then
I'll tell him I changed my mind.

Ahh!

Lovely and...
Oh, wow, now that's a guitar.

So, Roy, ha...

has Moss explained to you my,
um... desires.

He has indeed.

And are you interested?

I'm very interested.

Ah, splendid!

Yes. Moss, if you will excuse us.
Do you eat in here?

Yes, this way please.

Yes, this way please.
Ahh

But, Roy, didn't you want to
watch this film that I have here?

Ooh, I'd completely forgotten.

There was that film that I wanted
to watch before Johan ate me.

That's right.

There it is there now.

Yes.

Yes.
So you want to watch a film?

Yes, thanks.

Is that OK?

Er... Yes, yes, of course.

I'll put it on.

Is it very long?

Two hours, 20.

Ohhh.

Mmm, no, I'll wait.

TV: 'You wouldn't steal a handbag...'

Oh, these piracy warnings...

Oh, these piracy warnings...
Tell me about it.

Oh,these piracy warnings...
Tell me about it.
DOORBELL

Ah, what now?

'You wouldn't shoot a policeman,
then steal his helmet...'

Hello, there.

Yes, can I help you?

Police! Don't move!

Ah, ah. Don't move!

If my mouther thinks I'm a cannibal,
I'll be for the high jump

If my mouther thinks I'm a cannibal,
I'll be for the high jump
For once, can we please
not bring your mother into it.

Oh, here we go again.

Oh, here we go again.
DOOR SLAMS

Well, boys,

we're in a bit of a
sticky situation, aren't we?

Where d'you get this film?

This is an illegal copy of a film.

Ohh, um...

Are you not worried that
we might be cannibals?

Cannibals?

The man who was with us
is a cannibal.

He was going to eat me.

Well, it's not really my area.
I do copyright violation, that sort

of thing, but I'll let someone know.
Thanks. Anyway...

Where d'you get this?

Interesting film.

Who'd have thought at the end
that bloke turned out to be the...
