What the hell are you thinking? Ridiculous. Makes you look like a bloody fool. Get rid of it.

[Prince Philip, to Elton John:] 'You live near Windsor Castle, don't you?' he asked. 'Have you seen the bloody idiot who drives round that area in his ghastly car? It's bright yellow with a ridiculous stripe on it. Do you know him?'

'Yes, your Highness it's actually me.'

'Really?' He didn't seem taken aback by this news at all. In fact, he seemed quite pleased to have the idiot in question, so that he could give him the benefit of his advice. 'What the hell are you thinking? Ridiculous. Makes you look like a bloody fool. Get rid of it.'
