She'd fallen through the whole lot
into the floor.
I think she knew where the body was buried
because she never paid Doris any rent.
- What do you think of our lovely Doris?
- She seems like quite a character.
You stay here long enough,
she'll seem like a right pain in the arse.
Listen, er, what's that accent?
What accent have you got?
Er... French I suppose.
Ah. Oh, you're French, are you?
Yes. It's odd, but French people often do
talk with a French accent.
Look... Seeing I've come this far,
do you mind if I have a dekko at your room?
Old Mrs Williams used to behave as though
it was full of heads she'd shrunk.
- It's just an ordinary room.
- Good. Well, as long as you don't mind.
God almighty! Bloody sight worse than mine
and that's saying something.
- And of course it hasn't got you.
- No, that's true.
You gotta hand it to old Doris.
It takes genius to actually get rent
for something like this. Bloody genius!
Hello. Where does that go to?
Ah, yes, I see. Short end of the wedge.
Ah.
You, er... don't wanna offer me
a glass of wine, do you?
I mean, you mustn't feel embarrassed
because we've only just met.
I'm not proud.
My name's Toby Coleman by the way.
As in mustard.
Look, I'm not on the make
or anything like that. Far from it.
All passion spent, you know.
You, er, wanna offer me a glass of wine?
No. Not particularly, Mr Coleman.
No? Oh, that's fair enough.
You didn't mind me asking, did you?
No. I just wonder
who you're trying to impress, hm?
Nobody. Just being social, that's all.
You see, I write. I'm a writer.
Well, part-time. Trying to be.
When I say I'm a writer,
I don't make any money by it.
For kicks I, er,
work in a cracker factory.
That's why I'm living chez Doris.
But it doesn't explain
why you are, does it?
Perhaps that isn't
any concern of yours, Mr Coleman.
Point taken.
Just that although I'm the laziest,
undiscovered writer of my generation,
I'm still randy for new material.
Just to file away and forget.
I'll put you in a nice virgin file.
Hello. Dr Weaver?
'Well, this is his secretary, yes.'
Erm...
'Hello? Hello!'
Er... I wonder if Dr Weaver
could give me an appointment?
- 'Well, has he seen you before?'
- No, he hasn't. No, er, a friend.
- 'I see. Is it urgent?'
- Er, yes. It is urgent, yes.
- 'All right. I'll check.'
- If you could, I would be very grateful.
- 'What name is it?'
- Fosset. Mademoiselle. Erm...
Miss Fosset.
Yes, I see.
Took no precautions at all, I suppose.
No, no, no. Of course not.
No, that would have spoilt the wonder of it all,
wouldn't it? All that nasty clinical stuff.
Yes, I know all about that.
