- Im the artist.
Oh, really?
Well, they're very unusual.
Seems to be going well.
Have we sold any more?
No, but Im getting lots of enthusiasm.
- Isnt that Joe Orton?
- Yes.
I loved Loot!
The title was mine, actually.
I gave him all his titles.
Im his personal assistant.
Really?
I don't care for these at all.
And what does that entail?
It entails washing his underwear.
It entails taking his jumpers to Sketchley's.
It entails poaching his f***ing eggs.
And it entails reading his manuscripts...
only to find
everything Ive thought or said is included.
That must be very rewarding.
If you're referring to the occasional bout
of mutual masturbation...
no, it is not rewarding at all!
I really do love my Screen.
Honestly?
"How do you justify your existence?"
"Im Joe Orton's friend."
As if it's a profession.
Well, it's not a profession.
Its a f***ing full-time job.
Its not a profession.
Was this customary?
Oh, yes. According to the diary,
practically a daily occurrence.
But you lost his diary.
Yes.
No, I haven't seen him.
I thought he left with you.
No, Kenneth, of course I wanted it.
I wouldn't have bought it if I hadn't.
I shall have it here, in my office.
Yes, if he rings, Ill tell him.
Bye.
Then what?
Then he did the same for me.
Shall we eat? Im starving.
I write it all down, all the sex.
Its all in my diaries.
How did he know you were here?
You do, don't you?
In that state.
You know everything.
Sorry.
Im sorry.
I brought the melon.
Any calls?
Im sorry.
Sh*t!
You found us.
I just got here myself.
This is my wife, Anthea. Ms. Ramsay.
We're working on the book together.
Why don't you get Ms. Ramsay a drink?
White wine?
White wine. You're not American.
No, he is.
John's American. He is, Im not.
Yes, I think I have
just about got that straight.
We're working on the book together.
These are the diaries.
You must guard them with your life.
Believe me.
We can eat.
Urinals figure largely, of course.
Sugar?
The more insalubrious the circumstances,
the more Joe seemed to enjoy it.
Ginger?
or the first that he records...
took place in a cinema lavatory in Leicester
at the age of 14.
The film was My Favorite Brunette.
Bob Hope and Dorothy Lamour.
Quite.
Joe says he came
all down the man's raincoat.
Lovely melon.
Thanks.
Ill set Anthea to work transcribing these,
and then you can have the originals back.
Do you type?
Its tiresome, but sometime
we are going to have to talk about a fee.
- I do have Joe's relatives to think about.
- Of course.
He's all they have.
What is this?
This is the film script he was writing
