Realism script: Spies Flashcards
1.
Right Johnstone, were spies now.
2.
Yes, that’s our new job.
3.
I can’t possibly tell you that.
4.
I don’t know. Obviously he’s not going to tell me who he is in case I get caught and tortured and give him away.
5.
Yes.
6.
The enemy.
7.
I can’t possibly tell you that.
8.
Cos they don’t know.
9.
No
10.
To begin with we suspect everyone. Even each other. Even ourselves. It’s a tough assignment, Johnstone. That’s why they’ve called us in. I shall now teach you today’s code.
11.
Today’s code-to confuse the enemy. It’s not enough for them not to know who they are, they mustn’t know where the are either. To effect this confusion we shall talk at all times in opposites. We shall practise that now. Are you ready?
12.
So you’re not ready?
13.
Haha! i’d started already! Opposites, Johnstone! If you mean long you say short, if you mean short you say long. If you mean left you say right, If you mean right you say wrong. If you mean delghtful odour you say ‘orrible pong. Got it?
14.
Yes
15.
So you haven’t got it.
16.
So you haven’t
17.
Opposites! If you have got it you say you haven’t got it. Have you got it?
18.
That’s bad!
19.
It’s good so I say it’s bad!
20.
No we won’t.
21.
What?
22.
I wasn’t talking in code then.
23.
I mean yes I was.
24
Shut up!
25.
I mean make a racket! Thank you no thank you. If I am not talking in opposites I shall go ‘Thppppp!’ first and then you will know that I did mean it.
26.
That’s what I will do.
27.
Listen I’m going batty! I mean stuff up your ears! Thppppp! If I am not talking in opposites I shall go ‘Thppppp!’ first and then you will know that I did mean that! Thppppp! Is that clear?
28.
Thppppp! Good.
