Sample of Style
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Ginger Bloke: Right, now, I've got some research here, that I did about you guys and it says here that your career is fucking up. Don't get me wrong, I understand you're still very popular and a lot of morons buy your albums, but all I'm saying is that your music is going steadily and gradually more shitty.
Flea: That's how I feel.
Ginger Bloke: Good, good Gollum! Good.
Flea: I feel that's what happening with us, I know that's what happening with us.
Ginger Bloke: (pointing at Chad) Is he alright? the giant? is he okay?
Antony swirls his finger near his temple
Ginger Bloke: Oh, right, I see, good. Anyway, back to what I was saying, let's take this out. Why do people continue to buy your crappy albums, I mean what's your secret?
Flea: It's magic. (Ginger Bloke smiles stupidly). I hate to say it. It's magic. sings It's magic, you know!
Chad stirs again, lifting up his head
Ginger Bloke: Ooh, BFG's awake again, you're right. Yeah, I don't like him, I preferred him when he was asleep. Kev, can you turn him off please, he's boring me.
Kev: OK. He was turned off.
Kev walks in and puts his hand near Chad's leg, we hear a whirring sound
Ginger Bloke: Yeah, thanks.

Famous quotes containing the words sample of, sample and/or style:
“All that a city will ever allow you is an angle on it—an oblique, indirect sample of what it contains, or what passes through it; a point of view.”
—Peter Conrad (b. 1948)
“The present war having so long cut off all communication with Great-Britain, we are not able to make a fair estimate of the state of science in that country. The spirit in which she wages war is the only sample before our eyes, and that does not seem the legitimate offspring either of science or of civilization.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“To translate, one must have a style of his own, for otherwise the translation will have no rhythm or nuance, which come from the process of artistically thinking through and molding the sentences; they cannot be reconstituted by piecemeal imitation. The problem of translation is to retreat to a simpler tenor of one’s own style and creatively adjust this to one’s author.”
—Paul Goodman (1911–1972)
