Q
The computer print out. You got one on me, did you?
A
No
25
M: I got one of you
Did you?
26
M: Nothing personal. Just the broad details. Mind you, half of them were wrong. I don't think I'd have recognized you, either
No?
27
M: You weren't even wearing your flower, were you?
No
28
M: I suppose if you'd been smoking your pipe I might have recognized you, I suppose
My pipe?
29
M: Yes
I don't smoke a pipe
30
D: You want to order?
Well, I think we might like a drink first, mightn't we?
31
D: Oh's you?
Yes. Good evening
32
D: You with her?
Yes
33
A (To Maureen): You find someone then?
What? What's he saying?
34
D: You got lucky, eh?
I'm sure you'd like another drink? What's that you're having
35
D: Tonic water. Cheap
Well, I think we should have something a bit more... What about... What could we have? Kir Royale perhaps?

Yes, come on. Why not?

M: All right
Two Kir Royale

D: Two Kir Royale. You buying Kir Royale for her?
Yes
39
D: Two kir royale
Do you know him? The wiater?
40
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
41
M: Pardon
Well, in your own field. I mentioned your name to one or two close colleagues, they were really impressed-
42
M: Colleugues?
Anyway. Briefly. This is the set-up. Basically, there are four of us-
43
M: Four?
All together. In the same room. Practically in each other's laps
44
M: Laps
It's a madhouse. Not the sort of set-up you're used to, I'm sure
45
M: No, not at all
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
M: Just a minute. Let's get this clear. Are we talking about you and three others?
Yes. Is that a problem?
47
M: Three other men?
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
M: Women as well
Yes
49
M: You're joking
What is it? Do you not work well with women?
50
M: I bloody don't
Oh. Oh, god. This is a drawback. I had no idea
51
M: What's supposed to happen then? You two men stand watching, I suppose?
What?
52
M: While we three get down to it? That the idea?
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
M: good-night
Just a minute, don't you-
54
M: Thank you so much. No thanks, goodbye
Where is he- What have I?
55
D: She gone?
Yes. I think so, she- I don't quite know why. She... Why dud she walk out like that? Have you any idea?
56
D: You didn't offer enough money, who knows?
No, we never got around to salary. It wasn't money
57
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 nice clean girl?
58
D: From a good house
She's not a - nice girl?... No?
59
D: She take all your money. What she give you? Diseases
Diseases?
60
D: A whore is a whore is a whore is a whore, eh?
A whore? She's a whore? A prostitute?
61
D: She sit for hours. One glass of tonic water. No, menu. I know straightaway... Cold night, no underclothes
My God. I've been talking to the wrong woman
62
D: That's what I'm telling you. You want this other glass?
No. Yes. Leave it there. Where's the one I'm supposed to meet?
63
D: There's another whore?
No, no... I'm supposed to be meeting this woman. A business meeting
64
D: Look out, look out. She wants to bargain. She's come back to bargain.Be careful, eh
Yess all right. I... Excuse me.
65
M: good night
Please, just a minute... Please! I say!
66
M: What?
I- er...
67
M: Yes?
I apologize, there's been a terrible misunderstanding
68
M: There certainly has. Is that it?
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
M: No, thank you
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
M: I know what you were looking for
I was expecting to interview an office manager...
71
M: Dear God! Whatever next, she asked?
A Miss Llewellyn who was supposed to meet me here
72
M: Do I look as if I was born at lunchtime?
It's true. Absolutely true. Look! (Thrusts folder at her) Look! look. please, please... The truth. Honestly
73
M: You're either a brilliant liar, or an idiot
I'm- an idiot. Probably, Yes
74
M: Yes, I'm inclined to believe you
Thank you... Please. Will you finish your drink?
75
M: All right, just the drink
If it's not taking up too much of your time
76
M: What else would I be doing?
Good health
77
M: Cheers!... It's nice. I've never had this. What is it?
Well, it's basically champagne
78
M: Champagne? Well. You know who to live, you office managers, don't you?
You're so young
79
M: How do you mean?
I'm sorry. To be- doing- what you're doing
80
M: Doing what?
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
M: My what?
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
M: You're doing it again aren't you
What?
83
D: Out! I'll call Mr. Calvinu
Just a minute! You're not- you're not- a prostitute?
84
M: I've told you, no!
What are you then?
85
D: Hey, hey, hey, hey! Now I get the manager
Just a minute! Just a minute!
86
M: It's all right, don't bother, I'm off
Please, please. Wait a minute! (To Dinka) I will vouch for this lady
87
M: I don't need vouching for
For both of us. Please. I vouch for both of us. There's been a terrible misunderstanding
88
M: Another one?
Yes
89
M: How many more do you get?
No more. (To Dinka) It's all right. We're all right. Wait a second...
90
M: I've had a basin full of that one
I'm sorry. I don't know how all this happened
91
M: Well I'm bloody sure I don't
Will you sit down again?
92
M: What's the point? You're only going to ask me to pose for mucky pictures, I know you are
I'm not. I promise
93
M: Listen, I came here tonight because I was computer dated... But, I didn't come out for this, god almighty
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
M: What are you talking about... Robin Didswell, the Espresso?
The Espresso?
95
M: That's what it says
That's not this place. This is Esa de Calvi. The Espresso is further along
96
M: It is?
About a hundred yards
97
M: I wondered why he hadn't reserved
The Espresso's a wine bar
98
M: I wine bar?
Quite good soups, sandwhiches
99
M: Soup and sandwiches
He may have been planning to go on from there...
100
M: No. That doesn't sound like Robin somehow, does it?
Would you- care to? Perhaps, with me?
101
M: Well, what about your friend
I think she's probably fled as well
102
M: Never know her luck, she may end up listening to Billy Joel
Chocking to death on pipe smoke
103
M: Right... In that case, yes, thank you very much
Good
