You must be Juliet.
Would you like to come in?
I'd be delighted.
It's nice.
Would you like to see the rest?
What do you do?
Well, I've been away for a bit, travelling, that sort of thing, and now I'm trying to write a novel.
What's it about?
A priest who dies.
I see.
Yeah. Well, maybe I'll change it.
No.
Yes, I mean, who wants to read about another dead priest? It's about some other guy, some guy who's not a priest, who doesn't die. You see, it's better already.
Writing seems easy.
It's a breeze.
Do you think you could answer that?
The telephone? It continues to ring.
Yes, the telephone, but if it's for me, I'm not in. HUGO You're not in.
No.
All right.
It was some guy called Brian.
Did he sound upset?
A little bit. Is that good or bad?
It's an improvement.
Shall I answer it?
No, just leave it. He knows I must be at home. I'm working nights this week.
Working nights?
I'm a doctor.
And he's a patient of yours?
No. But he needs treatment.
For what?
A certain weakness.
The human condition.
You know about it?
I write about it?
And that's not the same thing?
No, but like all novelists, I'm in search of the self.
Hello.
What happened to that guy?
What guy?
That guy, the one that died.
What guy that died?
That one, last week.
Here?.
Yeah, here, I mean, where else?
Oh, him. Well, he died.
That's what I thought.
What do we do here, David?
Sorry?
Here.
Right here?
In this firm.
Well, it's a wide range of, eh
Accounting, David, chartered accounting
Exactly what I was
is often sneered at. Are you aware of that?
Not any real sneering as such, no.
There's a whole wide world out there, and it all needs to be accounted for, doesn't it?
Eh
But they sneer, don't they?
I'm not sure
Oh, it's unfashionable, I know, but, yes, we're methodical, yes, we're dilligent, yes, we're serious, and where's the crime in that, and why not shout it from the rooftops, yes, maybe sometimes we are a little bit boring, but by God, we get the job done.
Yes, sir.
And that's why I think you fit in here.
I'm boring?
You get the job done.
Oh, I see, I thought you meant
Which is why I'm trusting you with this account.
Why do you want a room here?
Do you smoke?
Look, it's a fairly straightforward question. You're either divorced or you're not.
OK, I'm going to play you just a few seconds of this tape I'd like you to name the song, the lead singer and the three hit singles subsequently recorded by him with another band.
It's just that you strike me as a man trapped in a crisis of emotional direction, afflicted by a realization that the partner of your dreams is, quite simply, just that.
Did you ever kill a man?
Just get on with it, Alex.
Keep it going, Alex. You're unstoppable now.
Is this what they always look like?
Yes.
I've never seen a dead body before.
Alex, I think it's time for you to stop.
Are you all right?
Oh, yes, I'm fine, thanks, just fine.
Would you like to talk about it?
No.
Do you know many of these people?
Yes. They're my friends.
Do you think you could be a little more forceful next time?
I'm sorry.
It's alright. I think he got the message anyway.
That was stressful. I found that stressful.
Two hundred.
Two hundred pounds?
Two hundred pounds.
You paid two hundred pounds for this?
That's what it cost, David.
No, no, no. That's what you paid for it. Two hundred pounds is what you paid for it. We don't know what it cost us yet, for you two to have a good time, we don't know the cost of that yet.
Expecting anyone?
What?
Were you expecting anyone? Tonight?
No.
