Ali G: Wicked! I is 'ere with Lord Rees Mogg and we is talking about class. Lord Mogg is gonna tell us 'ow we all can be upper class, can't we?
Rees Mogg: It was very kind of you to promote me to the er nobility but of course I'm.. I'm not. My.. my father is.. is Lord Rees Mogg, and I am just a commoner like everybody else.
Ali G: So what is class?
RM: What is class? Class is how other people er perceive individuals to be
Ali G: Which class is Pakis in?
RM: Pardon?
Ali G: Pakis
RM: By which..?
Ali G: Which class? Is they in middle class, upper class?
RM: (Stutters) I mean.. well you.. you're saying Pakistanis living ..
Ali G: Aye
RM: .. in.. in.. in England? Erm, they're not in a class erm by nature of where they've come from
(Break)
Ali G: What do you think makes a girl upper class?
RM: Well, exactly the same thing that makes a man upper class
Ali G: But is it things like she spits into her hankie?
RM: Erm I don't think spitting into one's handkerchief is widely regarded as a symbol of membership of the upper class (incomprehensible)
Ali G: What if someone is so rich they have a swimming pool? Would they then be upper class?
RM: Erm, no, I think that's a bizarre definition ..
Ali G: Aye
RM: .. of.. of.. of class
Ali G: What if they had a swimming pool made of gold but filled with champagne, and not the cheap stuff. Then would they be in the upper class?
RM: What, if like Cleopatra they bathed in asses' milk? Erm
Ali G: In what?
RM: Asses' milk. Erm
Ali G: Ass milk? Botty milk?
RM: Asses'
Ali G: From your..?
RM: No, no, no. Donkeys
Ali G: Oh, right
(Break)
Ali G: So what if I knobbed the daughter of a Lord?
RM: (Bemused) Erm, yes? And what if you did?
Ali G: If she got a bun in the oven what class would the little nipper be?
RM: Erm, it would so much depend on the circumstances. It would depend on the girl in question and so on and so forth
Ali G: What if YOU got busy with my sister? I wouldn't advise it 'cos she ain't the cleanest girl out there
RM: I haven't had the pleasure of meeting your sister
Ali G: Aye. Well, it can be arranged. She'll be keen
RM: I.. I.. I think speculating on.. on my ha.. having a relationship with somebody I've never met and that ..
Ali G: Aye
RM: .. leading to a child being born and then as to what class it might be is so er far-fetched erm as.. as.. as to be ridiculous. I have no idea about this
Ali G: What, you think you is too good for my sister?
RM: Certainly not, I wouldn't think ..
Ali G: Aye
RM: .. that for a moment
Ali G: You is
RM: No, no, I'm.. I'm probably..
Ali G: No (incomprehensible) she is rank. She's nothing
RM: I'm probably not worthy of your sister
Ali G: No, believe me, even my mum cuss her, tell her she's a slag
(Break)
Ali G: Would I be upper class if I got a top 'at and wore it?
RM: Erm, well would you like to try? I have a top hat, I can lend it to you for the next few minutes of this interview if you'd like
Ali G: So am I upper class now?
RM: Absolutely, you're a dead ringer for Lord Snooty
Ali G: Thank you, Jacob Rees Mogg. You have shown that class is interesting and we should know about it but not get stuck in it if we is gonna get ahead. Wicked!
RM: Thank you very much
Ali G: (Incomprehensible)
RM: Thank you
Ali G: (Incomprehensible). Good bye. And come and visit us at the Staines Massive
RM: With pleasure
