Note in advance: "budgie" = parakeet
"Yes, you will sing like a bird in a gilded cage. Sing, you fucking mother-fucking cunt-bag budgie. Sing! Bastard."

And the reveal:

Yes, we know—having since done some googling— that Adam's version of the quote is a bit of a mash-up.
ADAM: Hang on, "Sing like a bird in a gilded cage." That's from King Lear. It was King Lear to his daughter, "We shall sing like birds in a gilded cage," when he was reunited to her.
KAREN: Sleep Talkin' Man is so educated and well read.
ADAM: Well I studied King Lear. Fuck off. I'm educated, he's just a hanger on. That's all. He's living off me. He's using my intelligence.
KAREN: Are you sure you want to put forward the idea that he's living off you?
ADAM: I need to think about that.
KAREN: No, actually, you're both living off each other. It's a symbiotic relationship.
ADAM: Don't throw big words at me this time of the morning.
KAREN: You're the one who mentioned King Lear!
ADAM: What's King Lear, that's two short words! Both of them have got four letters in it. Come on!

  1. I've been thinking about getting some budgies. If I do, I think I'll name them Adam and Karen, in honour of you. (I have a child, so I won't be calling them Bastard and Cunt-Bag, that's for sure!)

  2. Aw, my budgies won't like that. And they don't sing. They chirp when I'm lucky. Other times they just make loud noices. ;)
    And sound like old aeroplanes when they fly!

  5. Tweety bird sings in a gilded cage as well. Maybe STM was quoting Looney Tunes, from Sylvester's point of view.

  6. "Two short words" is a winning argument, Adam.

  11. the whole King Lear/symbiotic relationship aside...I am curious as to just what kind of incident would lead to the 'snake-warts' situation ;-)

  13. I'm loving the ad for walk in cages that appears on the page today...picturing Lear and daughter walking into a gilded one. Gotta love those marketing folks. Love you guys too!

  17. I Love your comment Cass! - I guess it would be a little awkward to have your child standing up for show & tell and introducing the budgies as bastard and cunt-bag! lmao! This blog, and the comments are just the best!

  19. By the way, here is a slightly confusing, but completely true statement. A budgie is a parakeet but a parakeet is not always a budgie
