A scene from The Meaning of Life 1983
Cat

I wonder where that fish has gone?
Points to Drag Queen

Drag Queen

You did love it so, you looked after it like a son.

Cat

And it went wherever I did go.
The cat's arms turn and tie in odd shapes as he talks

Drag Queen

Is it in the cub-ord?
Audience, which, just happen to be all fishes, shout, "Yes, yes, check there!" and similar lines.

Drag Queen

Wouldn't you like to know? It was a lovely little fish.

Cat

And it went, where ever, I, did go.

Audience

Its behind the sofa!

Drag Queen

Where can that fish be?
A green elephant headed- butler comes into the room, sticks his trunk to the camera and walks over to the right of the screen. The audience of fish shout, "Have you thought of the drawer in the front room?"

Drag Queen

It is a most elusive fish!
The cat starts turning the taps that are attached to the Drag Queen's costume, where the nipples are, as he says his next line.

Cat

And it went, where ever, I, did go.

Drag Queen

Oh fishie, fishie, fishie, fish!

Cat

A fish, a fish, a fish, a fishie, oh!

Drag Queen

Oh fishie, fishie, fishie, fish!
The cat holds a ball that is attached to a line of string, that leads to the Drag Queen's crotch, as he says his next line.

Cat

And it went, where ever, I, did go.
One of the fishes from the audience shouts, "Have you checked in his trousers?" Referring to the elephant-headed butler, and another fish shouts out, "Yeah, check up his trunk!"
