Do you mean Johnny Rotten? Anyway, have a buddy press the clutch pedal, while you (underneath the car) open the bleeder valve on the slave cylinder. (The piece on the tranny that pushes the clutch fork.) He presses, you open the valve, fluid/air squirts out, and before the clutch pedal loses pressure, you close the valve, generally right as the fluid stops squirting so hard. Repeat as necessary until all air/water/crap is out of the system.

Get clear rubber tubing from local medical supply shop and put in jar with brake fluid so if you mess up, you'll only get a slight pocket of air before it sucks up clean fluid. Attach the other end to the bleeder screw of course. If you have problems, get a shop manual, which you really should have already. It will outline how to perform the brake bleeding procedure.
 
I made a pressure bleeder recently when a master cylinder was replaced. The easiest I have ever bled anything? It still took two people, because of a minor problem, but it was sweet!

Take a clip-on tire inflation valve and screw a hose adapter into the threaded fitting. Connect a length of hose to it (clear vinyl tubing from a hardware store workes fine) and run it to the input of a pressure regulator (with a pressure gauge). From the outlet of the regulator, run a hose to a tapered rubber barb (I had one from a hand vacuum pump).

To use, clip the tire valve onto a front tire. Place the barb firmly in the vent port of the reservoir cap and firmly hold it in, raise the regulator pressure to 5 - 15 psi, and bleed away! Don't forget to check and add fluid before the reservoir runs dry!

I had originally glued a hose fitting into the reservoir cap, but the adhesive didn't hold. That's when I switched to the rubber barb technique. On another car, I bought a replacement reservoir cap, added an extra large O-ring to seal it, and mounted a hose fitting to connect the pressure line to. I can bleed the brakes, etc. anywhere and all I have to do is re-check the tire pressure when I'm done!
