                 RED DWARF Series IV episode 6, "Meltdown"

1 Int. Sleeping Quarters.

CAT, LISTER and RIMMER are sitting round a table in the sleeping
quarters.  CAT and LISTER are playing a card game and RIMMER is regaling
them with tales of his youth.  As the scene opens we see that CAT and
LISTER seem to be in some kind of pain.

RIMMER: So there we were at 2:30 in the morning; I was beginning to wish
  I had never come to cadet training school.  To the south lay water --
  there was no way we could cross that.  To the east and west two armies
  squeezed us in a pincer.  The only way was north; I had to go for it
  and pray the Gods were smiling on me.  I picked up the dice and threw
  two sixes.  Caldecott couldn't believe it.  My go again; another two
  sixes!
LISTER: Rimmer, what's wrong with you?  Don't you realize that no one is
  even slightly interested in anything you're saying?  You've got this
  major psychological defect which blinds you to the fact that you're
  boring people to death!  How come you can't sense that?
RIMMER: Anyway I picked up the dice again... Unbelievable!  Another two
  sixes!
LISTER: Rimmer!
RIMMER: What?
LISTER: No one wants to know some stupid story about how you beat your
  Cadet School Training Officer at Risk.
RIMMER: Then -- disaster!  I threw a two and a three; Caldecott picked up
  the dice and threw snake eyes -- I was still in it.
LISTER: Cat, can you talk to him?.

CAT is sitting with big pieces of cotton wool plugged in to his ears.  As
LISTER talks to him he takes one of the pieces.
