NEWSREADER:
BBC News at twelve o'clock. There
is cautious optimism in Brussels
that formula may be reached to
break--
James hurries home through the din of rush hour Brixton.
INT. JAMES' FLAT - LATE AFTERNOON
James' flat is one floor of a large Victorian house. The
decent-sized rooms knocked together make a very large
bedsitting room. Bare boards, junk furniture, but elegant.
Heavy stereo stack, a lot of records, a lot of paperbacks.
In high spirits, James prepares to go out. He chooses a
shirt, begins to undress. The TV is on.
INT. JAMES' FLAT - NIGHT
An hour later. James is dressed to go out. The big room
is now in darkness except for the light by James' armchair.
He is talking on the phone to his friend Jeremy Hancock.
JAMES:
C'mon, you promised...tell her
you've got to finish a piece...I
know...I know, but it's my big
night...yes she's going to be
there...C'mon! All I want you to
do is introduce me to her. And
remember, build me up...good man.
INT. PUBLISHING HOUSE - NIGHT
A high-ceilinged room in a publishing house, Bloomsbury.
A launch party. About forty guests. Waiters take round
trays with glasses of wine. By some large double doors is
a display of school textbooks. Most prominently featured
is the book being launched today - Goldbooks Schools Series
No. 5 The Cold War, edited by Prefessor J. Gerty.
James is led by a PERSONAL ASSISTANT through the crowd to
meet GOLD, who is surrounded by ATTENTIVE YOUNG MEN.
GOLD:
.....took him by the elbow, steered
him into a quiet corner and said
"Where do you think you are, young
man? Fabers?"
From the circle of polite laughter, Gold extends his hand
towards James.
GOLD:
Glad you could come.
PERSONAL ASSIATANT
James Penfield.
