INT: Top Yacht studio, usual three presenters, studio audience, various boats hanging behind etc
Clarkson: More news - an update on the America's Cup
Audience groans, May and Hammond shake their heads in disbelief and Clarkson holds up a piece of paper
Clarkson: The latest press release. I'm losing the will to live let alone read it
May: Does it mention lawyers?
Clarkson (looking at paper): Yes
Hammon: Does it mention any sailing?
Clarkson: No - so its clearly of no interest
He scrumples it up into a ball and throws at the audience.
Clarkson: This is beyond a joke, its... what's the word?
May: Foolish?
Clarkson: No, worse than that
Hammond: Stupid?
Clarkson: No, worse than that!
May: What's worse than foolish and stupid?
Hammond: Us!
Audience laughs and claps
Clarkson: Yes - even we couldn't [beep] up the America's Cup like this. I mean really how hard could it be to come up with an idea? When it comes to that, what was wrong with the last one?
Hammond: Nothing, great racing, good winds, excellent really
May: ...and Valencia - excellent food and wine!
Clarkson: Yes, May, that's what's important on a program called Top Yacht! But he's right, you're right, why not just do it again, every four years.
Hammond: Plus talk to the Vendee Globe and Volvo lot to make sure each are every four years but not the same year.
Clarkson: Yes! So we'd have the America's Cup, the Volvo, the Vendee, and then what for the last year?
May: The Olympics of course
Clarkson and Hammond: Yes!
Clarkson: So there you are, if we three bunch of ambitious but crap sailors can sort out the mess there really is no excuse.
