 * Arthur, why are you so angry with him?

7

 * But don't blame me if I come back looking too attractive.
 * Her name is Holly, she has the extraordinary last name of Adams, and she does have nice skin. I haven't had a chance to check her nails yet.
 * Call me Holly.
 * Here, let me take your raincoat. You have some tea, I'll hang up your coat, and be back later to be relentlessly amusing.

..


 * It's also quite--brilliant.
 * Disastrous news. I won't be joining you for tea.  Duty calls.
 * What duty?
 * Though I'd give dad's old bus a wax and a polish. My rather pathetic but sincere attempt to get back in his good graces. Funny, I used to do that when I was a spotty adolescent.  Do hope he's not going try to fob me off with his usual half crown.  See you later--oh, and Holly, do try not to scoff all the scones.

 * ...but I am relieved to hear that.
 * The old bus needs filling up. Want to take a spin?  If you're really good, I'll buy you an ice cream cone on the heath.
 * I don't like ice cream.
 * I meant her.
 * We can closet ourselves later.
 * Come on then. All aboard the Skylark. Don't worry, I'll have her back before dawn.

11

 * ...all those baked beans and sardines I've had while she was gone.
 * I cooked the dinner Dad.
 * What was it again?
 * We call it lamb Dad.
 * It was marvelous, Simon.
 * Just trying to impress my father with my culinary talents...

12

 * ...especially three act plays. Makes the journey seem much faster.
 * You want me to go?

..


 * I knew Aruthr was anxious for oyu to read the new pages but was too shy to ask you.
 * Which means he likes you.
 * Really?
 * I know, hard to tell with my father, but he definitely fancies you. Can't imagine why.
 * He trusts you. Arthur sets great store in loyalty.
 * How was Eastbourne?
 * A little depressing.
 * Why?
 * I got the feeling they were regarding me as one of those ladies in hats and long dresses you see jerkily moving around in old newsreels.
 * Julia thinks she's getting old which, as you can see by looking at her, is ludicrous.
 * Are you expecting anyone?
 * No, I juggled my demanding social calendar and put the evening aside to go over the restaurant blueprints with you. Perhaps dad has forgotten something.  Was he wearing trousers when he left?
 * Drove all the way to London and was standing at the cheese counter in the middle of Harrod's food halls before--
 * This lady insisted on seeing you.

13 (Brenda's beat)

 * When I'm nervous I natter on like an idiot.
 * Look, this has gone on quite far enough. I think you'd better leave now.

...


 * Listen, no accounting for tastes.
 * I'm going to call the police right now.
 * Well, why would I? I don't read that rubbish?
 * Look, why are we listening to all this. It's absolutely inconceivable that my father could have an affair, much less with someone half his age!
 * We--well we had something in common.
 * What could you possibly have in common?
 * Just never got the knack of it.
 * Julia, do you really want to hear any more of this rubbish?
 * (talking about inns) But it was well worth it.
 * What inns? Where?
 * What are you writing?
 * Names of the inns so we can check your story.

..


 * Well, full circle.
 * Full circle?

..


 * A bit of modeling for art classes.
 * Nude?

..


 * I just don't believe her.
 * I better warn dad about this.

14

 * Tell them you're lying.
 * Dad--
 * Say it, say it!
 * Dad, calm down!
 * Well, you're going to be sorry you said that.
 * Alright, you better leave right now or--

16

 * And we both know that's not true, don't we?
 * Well, I don't know who that girl is but it looks as if we're dealing with a brilliant criminal mind here.
 * What are you talking about?
 * She mentioned the names of the inns you were supposed to have stayed at. I did some phoning around a man under the name of Frobisher did stay at these places over a three month period.
 * Did you ask for a description of the man.
 * Well no, I didn't.
 * They would've described me.
 * What?
