Elvis declines Dr Jack
Here`s an account of Elvis`brief appearance on the BBC TV comedy show Deadringers (which features look-a-likes of famous people).
In this sequence , ` Ozzy Osbourne` serves behind a counter in a London chemist (drugstore) - Ozzy (white coat over black clothes and lots of chains around neck including large crucifix) is drinking from a bottle of Jack Daniels while serving customers from behind the shop sales counter.
After dealing with an elderly Irish nun (who declines a slug of Dr Jack - " it`s very good if you take it in moderation " she explains) there`s a cut to Ozzy looking up the shop and we can see Elvis (black leather coat over black clothes) walking up with a shop assistant . Elvis is taking something (money?) out of his coat`s inside pocket and Ozzy spots him.
Ozzy : Elvis Costello! Rock `n roll! Good to see you, man...
Elvis (grinning all the time) : And you ( shakes Ozzy`s outstretched hand, gives money to assistant he walked up with , she bags small red box and flat blue item for him).
Ozzy: ....always been a big influence on me...
Elvis: Yes - I can tell!
Ozzy: Did I influence you?
Elvis: Absolutely - I think that (points at bottle of Dr Jack) influenced me more.
Ozzy: ...Yeah ....listen mate (holding out bottle to Elvis) .... take it...you have it ....
Elvis: No , no.....I`ve had my share.
Ozzy: You were always an influence on me ....I always tried to sing like you , y`know , that voice you`ve got , y`know ( unintelligible , presumably examples of singing) ....but I just sound pissed....
(Elvis given change and bag)
Elvis: That`s two of us ! (guessed dialogue - difficult to make out over laugh track) ..... yeah , good day ( Elvis turning to leave , holds left thumb up ) good luck .
Ozzy: Good luck , man - lets record something....my (bleeped) hero...
All through the sequence members of the public and shop assistants can be seen grinning in the backround.
