| Olivia Williams: | I just want you to know, I'm an Abba fan, and for once I'm proud, okay? Because Jonesy -- |
| Craig Ferguson: | Steve Jones ... |
| Olivia Williams: | Steve Jones, |
| Craig Ferguson: | -- from the Sex Pistols, yes. |
| Olivia Williams: | ... from the Sex Pistols, once came into my trailer, and I was scared when he picked up my -- |
| Craig Ferguson: | Wait, wait, wait -- why is he coming into your trailer? |

| Craig Ferguson: | Camden, north London, in the eighties, probably not. |
