Noel: They had what? An edge? Is that what you're saying? An edge.. Liam: No, they had a life, you dickhead. They had a life, man...

Noel: We've got a life! We've got a life!

Liam: Not if you start going on like that.

Noel: Why? But do you think...

Liam: (Begins to mince up and down bedroom). Do you want to walk around like that? Like that?

Noel: No, not at all.

Liam: (Still mincing) And get on your stage and go like that, and you sit, and you go... Noel: Not at all. Not at all. Not at all. What I'm saying is, what I'm saying is you think...

Liam: You get into situations...

Noel: No...you think it's rock'n'roll to get thrown off a ferry, and it's not.

Liam: I don't think it's rock'n' roll. Noel: You fucking...that was your quote, you prick! That was your quote. Liam: No it weren't. No it weren't. No it weren't. No... Noel: It's rock'n'rooooooool! It's rock'n'rooool! That's what you said! Liam: I was laughing about it. Noel: No you weren't.

Liam: Coz everyone was getting hung up about it, going on like some Japanese fucker or some prick from Sony, right, who wants to come & fuckin' see us, right, and they've got a flight out there, right, and that Marcus was going on to me going, "What do you think about that, then" and I'm saying what do you mean what do I think, I think fuck all about you...they mean fuck all to me, you know, I don't even know him. Right, and if they fucking are flying out there, they're gonna it back on whatever the fuck..that's fuck all, that's...

Noel: Right.

Liam:...that's bullshit...

Noel: But what I'm saying to you...

Liam: And I just said it fuckin happened.

Noel: Nah...

Liam: And as far as I'm concerned, I was, I'm into it.

Noel: What I'm saying to you is...

Liam: Now I'm out of that cell and I fuckin' got out of that piss bucket, and I laugh about it and I think, yeah, fuckin' good, man.

Noel: Bollocks, man! Oasis...Oasis, right, is not... Liam: It happened, right. It happened. That was reality, mate. It happened.

Noel: We're not a bunch of boxers, are we? Right, so Oasis...

Q: But Oasis is seen as being a band who's similar to the Rolling Stones & the Pistols and the like....

Noel: Music! Music! Liam: And that's where you want to be, that's where you want to be...

Q: Let me see what you think of this. Musically, no, the reason people are writing about you I'd say musically it's about 70% of it. The other 30%, the reason that you get in the press and the people go, fuckin', and looking at you and all that is coz you do seem like a band that wherever they go summat's going to happen.

Liam: And that's good. That is good.

Noel: That's fine...that's fine.

Liam: I went, I went, uh, to do a video a King's Cross Station, yeah. I went out to the fucking shop to buy a paper, yeah, while I was there I had makeup on and fucking everthing ready to do the video shoot and you know ten minutes later, some crazy crackhead fucking bird...some woman called Pauline going, "Look man, look, they're fucking..." coz they're talking bullshit, and getting me hotter....and that was it, it's a situation.

Noel: Right.

Liam: ...that just arose.

Noel: Right. Fine, that's...

Liam: That is life.

Noel: Right. What I fucking say to that is, what I say to that is situations like that have been happening to me & him before we were in a band.

Liam: Therefore, why should it all change? Why should...

Noel: Shut up. Shut up. Liam: I get in situations all the time.... Noel: He's just said, he's just said 70%...

Liam: The band, the band is not a rule book for my life.

Noel: Right. The band is about fuckin' music. Right. It's not about getting thrown off fuckin ferries, or about...

Liam: I never said that.

Noel: (Exasperatedly) Why don't you go downstairs and smash the bar up and say you're the singer of Oasis?

Liam: Coz I don't want to. If I did, if I was gonna go down & smash the bar up, I'd do and there's nothing would stop me. Noel: Then why don't you go and make a scene, then?

Liam: Coz I'm not in that...I'm fucking...you know what I mean?

Noel: You're not...you're not... (laughs) Right. Why don't you do a Keith Richards? Throw the TV out of the window!

Liam: Coz I'm not Keith Richards. Noel: Throw the TV out the window!

Liam: I don't want to do that. If I wanted to do it, I'd just go like that and do it, and do it. But I don't want to do that. I'm not about that.

Noel: What are you about?

Liam: I'm about being...I'm about going down the fuckin'...I'm about...(takes long slug of G&T) That's what I'm about.

Noel: Right. That's what you're about. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. But I'm talking about fuckin'....Eeyare, I'm talking about our band here. hey, yo, I'm talking about our band. Liam: Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Noel: No you're not. You're talking about you. You're talking about you, right. I'm talking about our band...our band. Our band is about tunes.

Liam: Yeah, I know. Don't...don't think I'm stupid. Don't talk to me like I'm..

Noel: He's just said, seventy, 70% of what people are writing about is the music. Right. I'll take the 70%. The 30%, you can go and fuckin' blow it.

Liam: Sit down, man. Sit down, coz you're getting into a state. You're building yourself into a stat. You've had too many G&Ts. Sit the fuck down. Noel: No, no, no, I’m not

Noel: See, you're not a spokesman for the band.

Liam: I’m nah - are you?

Noel: Yeah. I am.

Liam: Are you?

Noel: Yeah. I am.

Liam: You might be in your little world, but as far as I'm concerned, if you think what I'm saying is bullshit, I think what you're saying is fuckin' bullshit, man. Noel: Right. Well, fine. Right. Well, fine. You don't speak for the band.

Liam: You don't speak for the band.

Noel: I do speak for the band.

Liam: You do, yeah, because you fuckin', yeah... I fucking speak for the band, I'm speaking now for the band. And I'm into it. I'm into all that fuckin' shit.

Noel: Yeah, you are. You are.

Liam: (Referring to Noel) He's teetotal. He's a fuckin' priest. He was born to be a priest.

Noel: No, listen. Listen. Listen. No, no, yeah, whoa, whoa,yeah. The difference is, I don't get caught.

Liam: Right.

Noel: Right. I don't get caught.

Liam: But I have to admit that I was fuckin'...(mumbling)

Noel: Right. That's all I have to say....I don't get caught.

Liam: So what you're trying to say, right, what you're trying to say, you're trying to say, right, that I'm out in a pub, yeah, I have a few beers, yeah, a situation arises, and I'm supposed to go like that (makes suitably effeminate gesture)?

Noel: What pub, where?

Liam: Anywhere, anywhere! The boat, the boat, the boat, the boat is the same thing. Noel: It isn't! Coz you're with Oasis! You're with the band!
