Withnail and I (Bloomsbury Film Classics)

Product Information

The car They leave Camden in Marwood's battered old Jag. Withnail, still in his suit, has a bottle and is clearly drunk. They pass some schoolgirls. Withnail's bedroom Marwood is asleep in Withnail's double bed. Withnail creeps in with the candle and puts his hand over Marwood's mouth. Marwood comes violently awake and begins trying to talk through Withnail's fingers. Withnail tries to shoosh him quiet and finally removes his hand. Get that damned little swine out of here! It's trying to get itself in with you. It's trying for even more advantage. It's obsessed with its gut. It's like a bloody rugby ball now. It will die! It will die!

Why don't you ask your father? How can it be so cold in here? It's like Greenland in here. [Putting on a rubber glove] We've got to get some booze. It's the only solution to this intense cold. Something's got to be done. We can't go on like this. [He strikes a theatrical pose, one arm in the air] I'm a trained actor reduced to the status of a bum! I mean look at us. Nothing that reasonable members of society demand as their rights. No fridges, no televisions, no phones. Much more of this and I'm going to apply for meals-on-wheels. That is a very good idea. London is a country coming down from its trip. We are ninety-one days from the end of this decade and there's going to be a lot of refugees.

Camden Town, London 1969.

He takes a plate with some rashes of bacon and puts them in frying pan that is cooking over the fire. He rolls up Withnail's sleeves and takes him unwillingly into the kitchen. Withnail swipes a glass of sherry off the table on the way there.

Marwood is in bed. He has barricaded the door by propping a chair against the knob. There is a determined push at the door from the other side which dislodges the chair and Monty enters.
