A

I tried everything. I
phoned her. Sent her flowers, chocolates … you know all the romantic stuff … don’t tell
anyone but I even serenaded her outside her window.

A

She could have just thrown the
water … but no, down came the whole kettle. Then I wrote in to one of those romantic radio
shows … well desperate times call for desperate measures (Turns on the radio)

Q

Jack still thinks about Jane all the time and it sounds to me like he’s
sorry, sorry for being an egotistical, self-centred, arrogant loser.

A

(Aside) I never bloody wrote that!

Q

My fault? Now let’s get one thing straight here, wno was it that made the wish? All I did
was give you one wish in return for your soul. I’m only doing my job. For once in your
pathetic little life, I gave you the chance to control your own destiny. You had the chance
to choose between good and bad… and this is what ‘you’ made of it - not me.

A

That’s not fair.

17
Q

Fair? You do remember who I work for, don’t you?

A

The deal is off.

18
Q

I’m afraid that’s not up to you. I’m sorry but there’s no way out of this - you should have
read the contract.

A

I tried but…Look I just want to go back to the way things used to be. All my life I’ve wished
to be successful, rich … and 1 always thought,
