Answer 11

Cosmo: Should warn you, though.

Question 12

Presley: What?

Answer 12

Cosmo: He’s got a shocking temper. I saw him gnaw someone’s ear off once. Quite remarkable. Especially when you consider he hasn’t got a tooth in his head.

Question 13

Presley: Oh, what … what’s he doing?

Answer 13

Cosmo: Having a boogie.

Question 14

Presley: Oh, no, no …

Answer 14

Cosmo: I’d leave him if I were you. He’ll just do a few steps, then put her down. It’s how he likes his women. Unconscious.

Question 15

Presley: Cosmo, please -

Answer 15

Cosmo: Oh, he won’t do anything. Vital parts of him are missing. Know what I mean? He’s touching her out of a sense of nostalgia. That’s all.

Question 16

Answer 18

Cosmo: From a boogie? Don’t be stupid.

Question 20

Presley: Oh, stop him. Please.

Answer 20

Cosmo: You stop him.

Question 21

Presley: What about his temper?

Answer 21

Cosmo: It’s a risk you take.

Question 22

Presley: I … I can’t.

Answer 22

Cosmo: I’ll tell you what, Mr Chocolate. Why don’t you let Pitch drive you to the shop to get some more chocolate?

Question 23

Presley: But I can’t leave -

Answer 23

Cosmo: You’ll do that, won’t you, Pitch? Drive Mr Chocolate to the shop?

Question 24

Presley: But… but what about Haley?

Answer 24

Cosmo: It’s because of Haley you’re doing it, Presley. To get Pitch away from her for a while. By the time you both comeback - why he’ll be as calm as a stunned pig before the slaughter.

Question 25

Presley: He will?

Answer 25

Cosmo: He will. And we can all sit down and nibble chocolate together. You'd like that wouldn't you?

Question 26

Presley: But .. Haley ...

Answer 26

Cosmo thrusts money into Presley's hands. Cosmo: Here! Take this! But all the chocolate you need.

Question 27

Presley: Spend it all?

Answer 27

Cosmo: Every penny.

Question 28

Presley: But it's too much.

Answer 28

Cosmo: My treat! What's life for if we don't have our little treats. And here! Adds more money to it. Get some more medicine while you're at it. Imagine how much you could buy with all that, eh? You could be dreamy and numb for ever and beyond. Now, you go on, Presley. Off you go.

Presley takes overcoat from hook and puts it on.

Answer 32

Cosmo: My! What a smart coat.

Question 33

Presley: You think so?

Answer 33

Cosmo: I do, Presley. A real bobby-dazzler and that's a fact.

Question 34

Presley: Mum and Dad bought it for me.

Answer 34

Cosmo: Mum and Dad had style, Presley. Mum and Dad had taste. Mum and Dad bought you a good coat to go to the shops in - Pitch!

Question 35

Presley: I'm ... I'm still not -

Answer 35

Cosmo: Let me do this for you, Presley. It would make me feel ... close to you.

Question 36

Presley: How close?

Answer 36

Question 41

Presley: They do?

Presley: A good boy?

Answer 42

Cosmo: A good boy.
