40. Hmm. That’s quite a nice blue coat.
41. That coat? Oh no, not that coat!
42. It’s alright, Susan. I won’t buy it if you don’t like it.
43. No, I’ve just remembered … Roger’s got one of those coats. And I thought…
44. You cry what?
45. I thought: we’re here in this shop, having a good time, and he’s in prison⁶! It’s not right! Poor man.
46. Look Susan, Roger’s in prison because…because that’s the right place for him! Anyway, I’m sure he never thinks about you!
47. Yes he does! I’m sure he does! Harry, I must get him something for Christmas. He’s all alone there.
48. Look, I’ll make him a Christmas cake, and go and see him in prison. Will you drive me there?
49. You’re joking!
