N + of + yours

se rencontre souvent dans les énoncés emphatiques.

 

Valeurs énonciatives :

reproche / sarcasme (carton et comics ci-dessus),

ironie / moquerie (1 et 4),

insistance / focalisation (2),

dépréciation (3).

 

1 -    My American friends,

you know I love your country,

how have we come to this?

Yes, yes, Bush isn't quite as stupid as he sounds,

and heaven knows he can't be as stupid as he looks.

I know most of you didn't vote for him anyway,

but that is my point.

Forgive my presumption, but could it just be

that there is something a teeny bit wrong

with that famous constitution of yours?

Of course this particular election was unusual

in being a dead heat.

Elections don't usually need a tie-breaker,

something equivalent to the toss of a coin.

Al Gore's majority in the country,

reinforcing his majority in the electoral college

but for dead-heated Florida,

would have led a just and unbiased supreme court

to award him the tie-breaker.

So yes, Bush came to power by a kind of coup d'état.

But it was a constitutional coup d'état.

The system has been asking for trouble for years.

A political system that delivers this disastrous mistake
needs reform

2 -    But I bet he has.

Reed makes me feel like an amoeba. I want to cry.

Look, I was a huge fan of yours, I say.

" Was ?" he sneers. I still am, I say,

but I'm less sure by the second.

I desperately try to stick to the music.

Soon after his most commercial album,

Transformer,

Reed made his least-commercial record,

Metal Machine Music, an album of feedback.

Some critics said

it was his joke on the pop business.

Is there any validity in that? "Zero."

Is it something he can enjoy?

"Well, I can."

Which of his songs does he like best?

"I don't have a favourite."

Favourite album? "I like all of them."

Not a perfect day:
The Velvets, Warhol, heroin,
music that ranges from the divine to the disturbing:
Lou Reed's life and work is legendary.
But he doesn't want to talk about it
- in fact, he doesn't want to talk at all,

3 -    "Lots of people did documentaries,

but I was always interested in comedy,"

says Merchant. "So I said to Ricky,

'Let's do this sleazy boss character of yours.'

He'd never performed it as far as I know.

It was like something you do

for your mates down the pub."

Gervais adds:

"It was more of an impression than a formal sketch.

But it made Steve laugh."

I want to see you in my office again:

4 -    The other reason, of course,

is that the council are New Labour;

a bunch of up-themselves show-offs

who'd rather hang about with luvvies

than deal with the problems of real people.

That's why Princess Toni has spent

and is spending obscene billions of public money

on the dome,

while the railways grind to a standstill

and hospitals leave war heroes to die

on trolleys in corridors.

There's no business like showbusiness

- and how the government/council chooses

to spend your money

is certainly no business of yours!

Falling flat on their arts,
