O Lucky Man! Page #4

Synopsis: Follows the literal and associated life journey of middle class Brit, Mick Travis, representing the "everyman", as he tries to make his mark in his so far young life. He is able to make great strides in his traditional view of success by being what those in authority want him to be. As such, he achieves in a few weeks what it usually take years for others, namely having his own sales territory - the northeast and ultimately Scotland - for Imperial Coffee. He is also able to garner a plethora of fringe benefits from this job, including women throwing themselves at his feet. But he will ultimately face a struggle in class and authority warfare, which culminates with his encounter with the Burgess family - wealthy Industrialist Sir James Burgess and his daughter Patricia, who Mick wants to marry - the former who is contemplating investing in the shady dealings in Zingara. Mick will also find that the class struggle not only applies in his case in an upward direction, but also in a downwar

Good morning. Mrs. Williams?

- Who?

- Mrs. Williams. Catering manageress.

She doesn't come in anymore.

It's urgent.

There's nothing urgent around here.

They're closing us down.

- Closing you down?

- Paying us off.

Why?

- Five thousand men?

- That's right.

Redundant.

Good evening.

I'd like to see the catering manager,

Mr. Faulkner.

- And it's Mr...?

- Travis.

Imperial Coffee.

I'll see if he's still on duty.

You can sit down.

It's Imperial Coffee, Mr. Johnson.

Mr. Travis.

- Lovely evening, Mr. Faulkner.

- Charlie Johnson.

Sit down.

Panatela?

Thank you very much. Thank you.

Is Mr. Faulkner off?

No, no, but I'm the manager here.

I like to keep my contacts personal.

So do I.

- You'll be replacing your previous

colleague?

- Correct.

Sad business that.

Still, I take it the arrangements

will be as were?

Yes, Mr. Johnson. Yes.

It's Mayor Johnson, to be precise.

I've still got three months in office.

Good. Well, I'll give you

all the help I can.

Not only here, but in Leeds,

Doncaster,

Wakefield and other cities...

...of major importance surrounding.

You can confirm with Faulkner that

we'll

be continuing our standing bulk order.
