MFT: Wish You Were Here - Tell Me all the Swear Words you know scene (featuring Heathcote Williams)



This is a short scene from 1987 British quirky romantic melodrama "Wish you were here". It features _ as Lynda, the lead character of the film and Heathcote Williams as her psychiatrist.

The story goes Lynda went a little bit mental and acted quite a bit beyond the boundaries of decency. She showed her stockings, suspenders and knickers to everybody. Because of that she was sent for evaluation by the psychiatrist played by one and only Heathcote Williams, who somehow manages to chew scenery while retaining stone cold demeanor. The way he hams it up is simply impressive.

The scene starts with the psychiatrist attempting to determine what kind of help Lynda needs. In order to do that, he asks Lynda to go through the alphabet and recite all the swear words she knows. Lynda is a bit confused by the proposed exercise but is onboard with this kind of exercise and happily engages in the act.

The thing starts with "A" and "ass". Heathcote tries to confuse her by accentuating on the ridiculuousness of the situation, but Lynda is undeterred. There is nice back and forth with "ass...hole".

Then, on the later "B" Lynda blasts the whole barrage of words - "bloody bastard bugger bum". But she missed "balls" and points that out and Heathcote retorts with "so we did, nevermind".

Then, on the letter "C" she finally stumbles. She wants to say "cock" or "cunt" but stops herself, says she can't think of nothing. Heathcote asks her to say "something really filthy".  Instead she delivers "caca" while increasingly annoyed Heathcote catches her on that.

The next letter "D" rolls on smoothly with "damn". The letter is "E" is omitted due to the fact that there are no swear words starting with "E". Lynda tries to argue that but decides to go on.

When Heathcote transitions to letter "F" he suggests Lynda to use the "dirty, smutty" word everyone knows while Lynda tries to play stupid and says she doesn't know what he is talking about. Heathcote is trying to get it out of her while she denies she knows it. When he bluntly states that he wants to hear he saying that words, Lynda cuts him off with "dirty old bugger".

Heathcote gives up and goes away. I guess this is going to be a long day.
