Obadiah: Well, that’s just it. My cow has not yet calved yet. Dalla sala un flashback ci porta di fronte all’inquadratura di una mucca per poi passare a quella di un pastore che celebra le nozze di Obadiah, mentre la voce off di Tristram spiega che «it so happened that Obadiah was married on the same day my father’s bull was introduced to his cow (il toro monta una mucca). The custom was that my father’s bull served all the cows in the parish. But the truth was the parish was so large my father’s bull was not equal to the task. (primo piano di Tristram) But as he went about his business with a grave face, my father regarded him very highly. (con un ulteriore salto temporale siamo trasportati al giorno del battesimo del figlio di Obadiah e alla voce off del pastore si sovrappone quella di Tristram che prosegue con l’esposizione dei fatti) When the baby was born, Obadiah hoped the cow would calve. She didn’t. (primo piano di una mucca).» Ricorrendo a un flashforward, la macchina da presa torna all’interno della sala da pranzo dove prosegue la conversazione interrotta pochi istanti prima: Walter: May not a cow be barren? Trim: Never happened. Walter: My bull is as good a one as ever pissed. If you attack his character, you attack his life. Elizabeth: Good Lord… What is this story all about? Parson Yorick: A cock and a bull story. (ride malizioso) Cock. And a… bull. Cock and bull. (tutti ridono) A cock and a bull tale. Cock and bull story. Cock and bull. Cock and bull. (Walter scaglia un pezzo di cibo contro Toby, mentre Yorick prosegue più serio) And the best of its kind I ever heard. La fine del film dedicato alla vita e alle opinioni di Tristram Shandy coincide, solo apparentemente, con la fine del film di Winterbottom. Infatti, mentre sullo schermo scorrono i titoli di testa, Coogan e Brydon danno vita a un simpatico teatrino grazie al quale, dopo aver eviscerato il problema relativo all’incipiente calvizie di Brydon, i due attori si divertono a dar prova delle loro innate capacità imitatorie grazie alle quali, Winterbottom coglie l’occasione per inserire altri hommage al mondo del cinema: 36
Brydon: Did I do more Al Pacino in the Car Scene? I remember… Coogan: You did a lot more. Brydon: I remember doing a lot more. Coogan: A lot more, and I have to say, I am… Brydon: Sad to see it go. It served as a counterpoint to the stuff Naomie (ovvero Jenney) was doing. Coogan: It was. Brydon: (imitando Al Pacino) I’m in the dark. I do a good Al. Shylock is my name. (con la propria voce) Did you see him in that? Coogan: Yeah. I do a good Al Pacino too, but I don’t do it in front of people all the time. Brydon: Because you don’t have the confidence. But I feel I can get up and do it. Coogan: (imitando Pacino) I can do Al Pacino. I can do Al Pacino in The Godfather. Brydon: Oh no, he wasn’t… I’m sor… No, my friend, you… Coogan: When the Godfather speaks like me you disrespect the family. Brydon: (imita Al Pacino con una voce meno rude rispetto a quella utilizzata da Coogan) No, in The Godfather he talks like this. Coogan: In The Godfather he talks like that. You disrespect the family. Brydon: In The Godfather Coogan: You have no depth to the way you speak. Brydon: Because there was no depth in those days. In those days he talked like this. Coogan: You sound like a cartoon. You sound like a cartoon. (imitando Brydon che imita Al Pacino) The Godfather… 37
