Thripshaw: Well, I feel that they have missed the whole point of my disease.
Interviewer: This is …. always the problem … with directors of film… clips.
Thripshaw: Yes, well you see, they've dragged in all this irrelevant mush…
Interviewer: What… are you doing … now?
Thripshaw: Well at the moment I am working on a new disease, which I hope to turn into a musical, but, primarily we are working on a re-make of my first disease and this time we're hoping to do it properly.
Interviewer: Well … let's iust … take a … look at this new film…clip.
