“I detest Heroin since being burned but I do miss the cosy feeling running through my old bones. My solution is to drink whisky and have the heating on through the night. The bills are astronomical but I don't give a fuck darling. Anything to keep me off the junk. That's my scarf you're wearing...”

Dee Dee:   It's in the oven

Victor: And you Derick?

Derick:   John Lennon

Victor:   The  main man.

Dee Dee:   What about you Victor.

Victor:   Where do I start. I've got a list

Dee Dee: We could all make a list. You're only allowed one.

Victor:   If I had to pick one. It would have to be Nico

Dee Dee: No way. You're a fan of Nico. I fucking love her. You know she used to live in Manchester.

Victor:   (leads Dee Dee by the hand)   Come with me. I have something special to show you.

15 Nico's scarf

In Victor's lair, he hands Dee Dee a silk scarf

Dee Dee: (feels it) silk (and then smells it) It's a bit minging

Victor:   That my dear is Nico's scarf. The reason for the odour is that she wore it for all her gigs in the early eighties. She gave it me after a show one night

Dee Dee:   Wow

Victor:   I was a girl then

Dee Dee:  What you on about?

Victor:  I was born a girl

Dee Dee:  And now?

Victor:  I am a man in mind and soul, but not body
