Cook: Mr Spiggott - you are, I believe, auditioning for the part of Tarzan. Moore: Right. Cook: Now Mr Spiggott, I couldnt help noticing - almost at once - that you are a one-legged person. Moore: You noticed that? Cook: I noticed that, Mr Spiggott. When you have been in the business as long as I have, you come to notice these little things almost instinctively. The agent goes on to point out that Tarzan is a role which traditionally involves the use of a two-legged actor and that it would be unusual for the part to be taken by a unidexter, but Spiggotts enthusiasm is undimmed. Cook keeps a straight face as he explains exactly why Spiggott is unsuitable for the role. Cook: Need I say with over much emphasis that it is in the leg division that you are deficient. Moore: The leg division? Cook: Yes, the leg division, Mr Spiggott. You are deficient in it to the tune of one. Your right leg, I like. I like your right leg. A lovely leg for the role. Thats what I said when I saw you come in. I said, A lovely leg for the role. Ive got nothing against your right leg. The trouble is - neither have you.
