Simon Pegg: Or the hounds rounds. Ahh Is basically the best of the best bo****ks
Henry Cavill: Why dog's testicles represent that? I don't know

Henry Cavill: Yeah
Simon Pegg: You say "I am a nob" if you bang into a war
Henry Cavill: or don´t be a nob
Simon Pegg: If you think fo all the pinus. They al have diferent meanings. Like if you are a prick. then you are, you are a prick
Henry Cavill: Yeah
Simon Pegg: You are stupid and if you are as but lesser. Is an affectionate kind of term. If you are a bit of a nob, like if I say to you "stop being a nob, Henry" and I wouldn't expect that you will be offended, but if I call you a dick then I'll be wrong because you are not a dick, you are a lovely man.
