Abel Page #2

---

...and because of this, the lad

finds himself in a vacuum.

Before we get round to Abel...

...it would be advisable for you

to come to a mutual agreement...

...within your relationship.

I'll be hearing from you.

Well, that's that.

You're rushing things, sir.

I'm not used to...

Being made love to?

- Being made love to...

So brazenly.

- So brazenly.

Again!

You're rushing things, sir.

I'm not used to being...

This is such a rotten line.

That rotten line

encapulates how Maggie is feeling.

Because Maggie is feeling so

uncomfortable...

...she expresses herself

in a likewise way.

And that's why, in this situation,

it's a good line.

And something else, when Victor

tries to kiss you...

...you've got to show much more

bewilderment.

Imagine that you've never been

kissed by a man before.

And Victor, over-play it, eh?

Make it difficult for Christine.

We can always water it down later.

Bewilderment, Christine.

Disgust, disgust!

What is it now?!

- I just don't feel this, you know.

Do we have to watch this

for much longer?

This is an importand moment.

We're going to carry on

until it's right.

And Christine, relax!

The mere thought of a kiss

repulses you.

I'm nearly thirty two, and I've still

never watched television.

We don't need Victor anyway

to buy a television.

Every month your father gives

a fixed sum of money...

...and at the end of the month

it's all gone.

I know that. Look at how we eat.

The whole time it's...

salmon, oysters, lobsters.

Four course meals.

And all those new clothes,

new shoes.

When summer's on the way

I get new clothes.

What use are they to me?

You stop buying new clothes.

We down the meals. Within a month,

we'll have a television.

THE NAKED GIRLS:

No hors-d'oeuvre?

- Didn't get round to it today.

De Beer has been sacked.

- De Beer?

How often have I mentioned that name?

It must be a thousand times.

I don't know de Beer.

- A colleague.

What's this?

- A fish finger.

A fish finger?

What kind of a hideous little

fish finger is this?

Tell us about de Beer.

- Yes.

He's been sacked.

- Because?

Because he was carrying on with

Merkelbach's wife.

Merkelbach?

Yes, Merkelbach. Who could be that?

- No idea.

Come now, Abel.

Your father's boss.

I say, what's going on?

Only one vegetable?

The people behind the Iron Curtain...

...would lick their lips at the

sight of a fish finger.

And those people work the

whole day long.

They go into the steelfactory

before it's light...

...and don't come out

until it's dark again.

If you ever see a photograph

of Russians...

...in a park, then they

all have little eyes.

Enough!

What do you think of that then?

Of what?
