Show transcript0:00And he walked by on the other side, leaving the man helpless. But then, who should wander by but a Samaritan of all people? And he actually helped the man.0:09Hang on, master.0:10No, he did. He went over and actually...0:12No, sorry.0:13No, no, no. I- I mean, this is what I'm saying, that a Samaritan, all right, so have a good think about your attitudes, went and helped.0:21Yeah, no, I see.0:22No, no, no, stick with it, because what I'm saying is that he was a good Samaritan. That's good Samaritan, if you could imagine such a thing.0:32Yes, yes, I can. I- I think we all can.0:35Yeah.0:36I- I know there's a lot of prejudice against Samaritans, which is terrible, but I'm sure I speak for everyone in this room when I say that there are loads of really nice Samaritans.0:44Yeah, some of my best friends are Samaritans.0:47Yeah, me and the wife went on holiday to Samaria last year, and they were lovely people.0:51Couldn't do enough for you.0:53Yeah. So, so what I'm finding offensive, and I'm sure I'm not the only one,0:57Mm.0:58i- i- is your unreflecting acceptance of this cliche that all Samaritans are wankers.1:04No, I'm saying he was good.1:05Yeah, but you're implying that the fact that he was good is worth a story in itself. It's some kind of weird curiosity, like an albino Nubian.1:14No, I'm saying that goodness comes in unexpected places.1:17Yeah, and I'm saying that the fact that you wouldn't expect goodness from a Samaritan betrays your inherent racism.1:24Okay, okay, all right, that's a big word. Let's just take a deep breath here. I didn't mean to offend anybody. That's the last thing I intended. Um, I didn't realize there were any Samaritans in the room.1:33No, that's not the point.1:35Or Samaritan sympathizers, you know, Sámi lovers.1:39Oh, I can't believe I'm hearing this.1:41No, no, no, no, I didn't realize it was such a PC environment here, and I suppose I thought that having what was only intended as a fond pop at our Samaritan neighbors, friends even, if you like, would not be inappropriate in the context of a story which is, after all, about goodness, and at the end of the day, it is only a parable.2:01What, it didn't really happen?2:03Well, of course not. A Samaritan tosser wouldn't do that for his own grandmother.2:07Jesus Christ!2:09What?
