It’s Oscar time again and it got me thinking about who would star in the movie of my book. .
- Who would play you in a movie Jimmy?
- What’s the movie about?
- I dunno…Life
- ‘The life and times of Jimmy Violet’
- It could be ‘The life and times of Bernie Rose’.
- I thought it was about me
- I never said it was about you. I just asked who would play you in a movie
- Same thing
- No it’s not
- So it’s your movie then
- Maybe
- Right so
- But you’d be in it
- Like a supporting role
- Well, we are married
- Could we share the lead?
- I suppose so
- That’s nice
- So who would you pick?
- For what?
- To play you in the movie. For fuck Sake Jimmy,keep up will ye
- Can Daniel Craig do a Dublin accent?
- I dunno
- There’s nothing worse than a crap Dublin accent
- You’re right there Jimmy.
- What about Brad Pitt?
- No way. Remember ‘Snatch’?
- Oh yeah, shite accent alright
- What about Colin Farrell?
- He’s a little bollix
- He is gorgeous tho’
- D’ye think?
- Ye, but you’re right. He is a little bollix…anyway, he’s too young
- Fuck off Bernie. He’s not much younger than me
- In dog years yeah Jimmy
- I’m not having Pierce Brosnan
- I’m sure he’ll be raging
- Not after Mama Mia. He totally ruined his James Bond image. Made a show of himself he did
- When did you watch Mama Mia?
- Kylie made me watch it with her a few years ago when she was off school
- She made you?
- Well she was sick. I didn’t like to say no
- I believe you, thousands wouldn’t. What about Liam Neeson?
- He’s from the north Bernie. He’d never pull off the Dub accent
- He is a ride tho’
- Whatever you say Bernie
- I know the very man…Gabriel Byrne
- Where’s he from?
- Drimnagh
- He’d have the accent so
- And he’s fuckin’ gorgeous Jimmy
- Sure he’d have to be gorgeous if he’s playing me Bernie
- You love yourself Jimmy Violet
- What’s not to love Bernie.
- You’re so modest too
- That’s me sorted, so now, who’d play you Bernie?
- Charlize Theron
- What about the accent Bernie?
- Ah, she’ll be grand…Or Cameron Diaz
- Are they not a bit young?
- No
- I was thinking of someone a bit more mature
- Like who?
- Brenda Fricker
- You can fuck right off Jimmy Violet
- What’s wrong with you?
- You get Gabriel Byrne…and I get Brenda bleedin’ Fricker?
- She has the accent bu’
- She’s old enough to be me ma
- Really? She doesn’t look it
- Well she is
- It hurts doesn’t it Bernie?
- What does?
- It’s alright for you to say Colin Farrell is too young to play me, but it’s not alright for me to say poor Brenda is young enough to play you
- Never mind Colin Farrell being a little bollix Jimmy…You’d win an Oscar for it
- I’ll just go write my acceptance speech then 🙂
