Q

M: I certainly don’t-

Funny, he seems to know you. Odd. Anyway, a bit about myself shall I? While we’re waiting. I mean, you’ve already told me something about you- and anyway- as you’re probably aware- you’ve already got quite a reputation within the business, anyway

Q

M: Colleugues?

A

Anyway. Briefly. This is the set-up. Basically, there are four of us-

43
Q

M: Four?

A

All together. In the same room. Practically in each other’s laps

44
Q

M: Laps

A

It’s a madhouse. Not the sort of set-up you’re used to, I’m sure

45
Q

M: No, not at all

A

And we all need looking after in our different ways. Though hopefully not all at one. Well, not that often. We’d all have call on your services, we’d all have access to your expertise

46
Q

M: Just a minute. Let’s get this clear. Are we talking about you and three others?

A

Yes. Is that a problem?

47
Q

M: Three other men?

A

Oh, no, no, no. I thought I explained. There’s me. And Daniel, who’s overall in charge. Then there’s Patricia- Trish, and Carmen, who’s in charge of advertising

48
Q

M: Women as well

A

Yes

49
Q

M: You’re joking

A

What is it? Do you not work well with women?

50
Q

M: I bloody don’t

A

Oh. Oh, god. This is a drawback. I had no idea

51
Q

M: What’s supposed to happen then? You two men stand watching, I suppose?

A

What?

52
Q

M: While we three get down to it? That the idea?

A

No. Not at all. God, no, we all much in together. There’s none of that male-female business- not in this place. If something needs doing, whoever’s free, they get stuck in and get on with it… Where are you going?

53
Q

M: good-night

A

Just a minute, don’t you-

54
Q

M: Thank you so much. No thanks, goodbye

A

Where is he- What have I?

55
Q

D: She gone?

A

Yes. I think so, she- I don’t quite know why. She… Why dud she walk out like that? Have you any idea?

56
Q

D: You didn’t offer enough money, who knows?

A

No, we never got around to salary. It wasn’t money

57
Q

D: Who knows? Who knows with those women? You better off without her, I tell you. You get yourself a nice clean girl, eh?

A

A nice clean girl?

58
Q

D: From a good house

A

She’s not a - nice girl?… No?

59
Q

D: She take all your money. What she give you? Diseases

A

Diseases?

60
Q

D: A whore is a whore is a whore is a whore, eh?

A

A whore? She’s a whore? A prostitute?

61
Q

D: She sit for hours. One glass of tonic water. No, menu. I know straightaway… Cold night, no underclothes

A

My God. I’ve been talking to the wrong woman

62
Q

D: That’s what I’m telling you. You want this other glass?

A

No. Yes. Leave it there. Where’s the one I’m supposed to meet?

63
Q

D: There’s another whore?

A

No, no… I’m supposed to be meeting this woman. A business meeting

64
Q

D: Look out, look out. She wants to bargain. She’s come back to bargain.Be careful, eh

A

Yess all right. I… Excuse me.

65
Q

M: good night

A

Please, just a minute… Please! I say!

66
Q

M: What?

A

I- er…

67
Q

M: Yes?

A

I apologize, there’s been a terrible misunderstanding

68
Q

M: There certainly has. Is that it?

A

No. Just a second, I- I just wanted to explain. You see, I thought you were someone else- please, won’t you have a drink?

69
Q

M: No, thank you

A

I realize I wasted your time and- your time is- is money and I’m really sorry. You see I was looking for a-

70
Q

M: I know what you were looking for

A

I was expecting to interview an office manager…

71
Q

M: Dear God! Whatever next, she asked?

A

A Miss Llewellyn who was supposed to meet me here

72
Q

M: Do I look as if I was born at lunchtime?

A

It’s true. Absolutely true. Look! (Thrusts folder at her) Look! look. please, please… The truth. Honestly

73
Q

M: You’re either a brilliant liar, or an idiot

A

I’m- an idiot. Probably, Yes

74
Q

M: Yes, I’m inclined to believe you

A

Thank you… Please. Will you finish your drink?

75
Q

M: All right, just the drink

A

If it’s not taking up too much of your time

76
Q

M: What else would I be doing?

A

Good health

77
Q

M: Cheers!… It’s nice. I’ve never had this. What is it?

A

Well, it’s basically champagne

78
Q

M: Champagne? Well. You know who to live, you office managers, don’t you?

A

You’re so young

79
Q

M: How do you mean?

A

I’m sorry. To be- doing- what you’re doing

80
Q

M: Doing what?

A

Oh, i’ve no right to lecture you- why don’t I mind my own business? It’s your life, you’re choice- presumably…

81
Q

M: My what?

A

You want to sell yourself for money to every man who asks you, that’s up to you. I just seems to me that-

82
Q

M: You’re doing it again aren’t you

A

What?

83
Q

D: Out! I’ll call Mr. Calvinu

A

Just a minute! You’re not- you’re not- a prostitute?

84
Q

M: I’ve told you, no!

A

What are you then?

85
Q

D: Hey, hey, hey, hey! Now I get the manager

A

Just a minute! Just a minute!

86
Q

M: It’s all right, don’t bother, I’m off

A

Please, please. Wait a minute! (To Dinka) I will vouch for this lady

87
Q

M: I don’t need vouching for

A

For both of us. Please. I vouch for both of us. There’s been a terrible misunderstanding

88
Q

M: Another one?

A

Yes

89
Q

M: How many more do you get?

A

No more. (To Dinka) It’s all right. We’re all right. Wait a second…

90
Q

M: I’ve had a basin full of that one

A

I’m sorry. I don’t know how all this happened

91
Q

M: Well I’m bloody sure I don’t

A

Will you sit down again?

92
Q

M: What’s the point? You’re only going to ask me to pose for mucky pictures, I know you are

A

I’m not. I promise

93
Q

M: Listen, I came here tonight because I was computer dated… But, I didn’t come out for this, god almighty

A

Oh, that’s- I feel awful about this. Look, we’ll try and find this man of yours, shall we? Robin. He’s probably sitting waiting here somewhere-

94
Q

M: What are you talking about… Robin Didswell, the Espresso?

A

The Espresso?

95
Q

M: That’s what it says

A

That’s not this place. This is Esa de Calvi. The Espresso is further along

96
Q

M: It is?

A

About a hundred yards

97
Q

M: I wondered why he hadn’t reserved

A

The Espresso’s a wine bar

98
Q

M: I wine bar?

A

Quite good soups, sandwhiches

99
Q

M: Soup and sandwiches

A

He may have been planning to go on from there…

100
Q

M: No. That doesn’t sound like Robin somehow, does it?

A

Would you- care to? Perhaps, with me?

101
Q

M: Well, what about your friend

A

I think she’s probably fled as well

102
Q

M: Never know her luck, she may end up listening to Billy Joel

A

Chocking to death on pipe smoke

103
Q

M: Right… In that case, yes, thank you very much

A

Good
