Dialogue - Godley & Creme.mp3

[00:00.000](Haig uncorks another bottle, Walter is asleep again)
[00:01.525]Walter: Oh, ah, sorry...
[00:03.906]Haig: Cheers!
[00:04.700]Pepperman: And now perhaps we can get down to the business in hand. You were good enough to send me an inventory of your clients alleged assets.
[00:12.464](Song 'Mine, Yours' runs under next speech)
[00:17.338]Pepperman: I only riffled (?briefly?) through this list on my way here in the car, and am aware of a glaring omission. In this list I can find absolutely no mention what ever of hairpins. I've seen divorces break down on omissions far smaller than this.
[00:41.767]Walter: But I haven't got any hairpins...
[00:46.317]Pepperman: Are you seriously telling me that throughout your long, and judging by your shoes, successful career, you've never accumulateded a hairpin in any shape or form? Or even half a hairpin ?
[01:01.630]Walter: Oh - er - what's 'half a hairpin' ?
[01:05.536]Pepperman: What indeed? If you don't know what 'half a hairpin' is, how can our side be expected to believe that you're cognizant of what a 'whole hairpin' comprises? For all we know you may have a whole hoard of 'half hairpins' masquerading as whole hairpins concealed about the house.
[01:27.206]Walter: Well, if there are any hairpins they're - er - Lulu's - I mean er - I don't use 'em much.
[01:31.772]Pepperman: Which is exactly what I've trying to establish!
[01:35.019]Blint: (coming upwards in his elevator) I make it around 10:17...
[01:39.077]Haig: Ah, ha ha ha - er - sorry about this ...er, Mr. Blint! Yes my goodness me, so it is!
[01:45.496]Blint: Yes. My bath's about three quarters full now. So I can't hang around for long. It takes 11 minutes to fill and 6 minutes to empty. By the time I have to fill it again, it would be 25 and a half minutes past ten, and I like to do a little work around then...
[02:00.705]Pepperman: We are in the middle of a rather serious business negotiation Mr -er- BLINT!
[02:06.562]Blint: Yes. I heard quite a lot of it. Your goldfish looks hungry Mr Haig...
[02:11.202]Haig: Yes, thank you - ha. Are we to understand that you tell the time by constantly filling and emptying your bath ?
[02:19.146]Blint: Oh no ! That would be an idiotic way to operate. I don't know about you, but I rely on a watch. What I was telling you was basically a foolish lie...
[02:30.647]Haig: I, I realise of course that you are standing in your attic, or hole (AHHHH!). And I have every right to do so, but could you possibly see your way to - er to er...
[02:40.607]Blint: Piss off! Yes, I've got rather a difficult transition to make with the wind section. Oh just one piece of advice you might be able to use - seventeen.
[02:50.929](Rain and thunder FX - singing runs under next section)
[02:51.547]Blint: I'll be downstairs if you need me. I'll be still downstairs if you think you don't need me.
[03:13.154]Pepperman: Despite your assurances, Mr Haig, we seem to be back to square one. Mr Blint, who you so gaily brushed aside as irrelevant, has now become a germane by getting us in what I always feared what happen, namely a 'business in the attic' situation.
[03:29.394]Haig: Absolutely! I'll, I'll drink to that! In fact I'll drink to anything... Well - here's to him not disturbing us again. Ha ha, he's never done it before...
[03:42.091]Singing: 'Keeping a date with the rain! Keeping a date with the...'
[03:42.920]Walter: I don't think it greatly matters. He only came up and went down again.
[03:48.614](Music ends, Thunder FX)
[03:52.287]Haig: Now, since Mr Pepperman has raised the important issue of non-disclosure, perhaps we can move on to Mrs Stapleton's teeth, which seem to be omitted from our list of assets.
[04:04.260]Walter: I don't want her teeth!
[04:06.393]Haig: You may not want them now, but who knows what the future holds...
