“ARTHUR: Yellow car.
DOUGLAS: What?
ARTHUR: Nothing. Just – yellow car.
MARTIN: Why did you say ‘yellow car’?
ARTHUR: There was a yellow car.
MARTIN: But why did you say ‘yellow car’?
ARTHUR: You’ve got to say ‘yellow car’ when there’s a yellow car.
MARTIN: Why?
ARTHUR: That’s how you play Yellow Car.
MARTIN: We’re not playing Yellow Car.
ARTHUR: You’re always playing Yellow Car.
DOUGLAS: And how, though I fear I can guess, does one play Yellow Car?
ARTHUR: Right well, imagine you’re driving along –
MARTIN: We are driving along.
ARTHUR: Oh yeah, okay, so now you look at the cars as they come along in the other direction, and they’re all different colours. So, uh, for instance, now, uh, that one’s white; that one’s blue; that one’s a sort of metally grey –
DOUGLAS: And when you see a yellow car, you say ‘yellow car’.
ARTHUR: How did you know?
DOUGLAS: A wild stab in the dark!
MARTIN: And then what?
ARTHUR: You start again!
DOUGLAS: So how does it end, this game?
ARTHUR: It never ends.
DOUGLAS: That’s very much what I feared.”
