 　　[00:01.72]You wanted to see me?

 

　　[00:03.24]Yes, come in.

 

　　[00:07.43]I thought Dougal would at least have had

 

　　[00:09.36]the decency¹ to meet us at the hotel.

 

　　[00:11.60]One doesn't ask much of one's agent.

 

　　[00:17.20]I need some water.

 

　　[00:30.64]Thank you.

 

　　[00:35.27]Thank you.

 

　　[00:42.16]When I asked you to come with me to Edinburgh,

 

　　[00:46.51]I may have given the impression

 

　　[00:48.40]that such things were a regular occurrence.

 

　　[00:53.20]The truth is, I haven't given any so rte

 

　　[00:55.60]of theatrical² performance for many years.

 

　　[01:00.44]I accepted this offer

 

　　[01:03.31]because I was flattered to be asked.

 

　　[01:09.51]It now appears I may have misjudged the reason for my invitation.

 

　　[01:14.79]What have they asked you to do?

 

　　[01:18.51]I'm to read from an anthology of love poetry It's being re-published.

 

　　[01:24.64]Part of a week of readings entitled "Forgotten Voices. "

 

　　[01:29.83]Sounds very nice.

 

　　[01:35.60]I don't suppose you're familiar with the notion of kitsch.

 

　　[01:40.16]It's rather popular in literary circles.

 

　　[01:45.56]However, what's done is done We're here now, and the show must go on.

 

　　[01:50.56]I'm sure they'd understand if you didn't wanna go on,

 

　　[01:53.08]given how little time you have.

 

　　[01:55.43]Don't be ridiculous. Of course I'm going on!

 

　　[01:57.48]When a woman says she's not going on,

 

　　[01:58.88]it doesn't mean she's not going on!

 

　　[02:00.20]I want to go on. I'm just nervous, that's all.

 

　　[02:06.47]Sorry. -Yes, well...

 

　　[02:12.16]As long as you're there, I'll be fine.

 

　　[02:17.04]Of course I'll be there.

 

　　[02:20.43]It's silly, I know, but I think

 

　　[02:21.88]if you weren't there with me I couldn't go on.

 

　　[02:25.72]You're my poet.

 

　　[02:28.11]You understand the power of words.

 

　　[02:32.67]Tomorrow, then.

 

　　[02:34.16]Tomorrow.

 

　　[02:37.12]11:00?

 

　　[02:38.64]11:00.

 

　　[02:48.20]"I'm a woman, Leland, not an oil tanker³."

 

　　[02:56.20]Hello. Nice shirt.

 

　　[03:00.83]Have you stopped slaving yet?

 

　　[03:04.31]Me, too, thank God. I've just shown my last novelist to his room.

 

　　[03:07.32]The bugger actually tried to chat me up. Writers are so frigging vain.

 

　　[03:14.47]You do speak, don't you?

 

　　[03:17.95]Good.

 

　　[03:23.00]You fancy a drink?

 

　　[03:25.12]I should be in bed.

 

　　[03:29.08]There's a club I sometimes go to. It's just round the corner.

 

　　[03:33.44]Great.

 

　　[03:36.12]Great.

 

　　[03:40.24]So shall we go?

 

　　[03:45.40]Yes.

 

　　[03:47.31]Hi.

 

　　[03:52.96]This way.

 

　　[03:55.31]Come with me.

 

　　[03:57.71]Sorry.

 

　　[04:04.44]Jim, the usual, please.

 

　　[04:18.27]Here. Cheers.

 

　　[04:26.63]What's your old lady so uptight⁴ for?

 

　　[04:29.99]She's nervous about tomorrow.

 

　　[04:31.91]Why? She's only reading a couple of poems.

 

　　[04:35.76]They probably won't even get to her.

 

　　[04:37.16]Emma's always booking far too many people.

 

　　[04:41.03]I think Dame⁵ Evie wouldn't be very happy

 

　　[04:42.83]if she didn't get the chance to read.

 

　　[04:44.64]Dame? She's not a dame, is she?

 

　　[04:48.99]Yes.

 

　　[05:00.32]Let's dance.

 

　　[05:01.75]Oh, I'm okay, thanks.

 

　　[05:03.20]Come on, it'll do you good.

 

　　[05:13.60]Use your hips⁶!

 

　　[05:17.43]Use your arms.

 

　　[05:21.27]Wiggle your arse.

 

　　[05:24.16]Come on!

 

　　[05:32.99]Come on, watch me.

 

　　[06:23.95]Hey!

 

　　[06:27.16]Could you believe how hairy that guy's back was?

 

　　[06:37.24]It's only rented.

 

　　[06:39.16]Anyone who can afford to buy around here

 

　　[06:41.56]definitely doesn't work in publishing.

 

　　[06:50.67]How old are you?

 

　　[06:53.08]I'm 18 and a half.

 

　　[06:58.35]Don't mind me asking, but why are you working for an old lady?

 

　　[07:01.76]Were there no other jobs?

 

　　[07:03.91]She's my grandmother.

 

　　[07:06.51]Cool. Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude about it.

 

　　[07:10.40]It's okay.

 

　　[07:15.15]Is this your first time?

 

　　[07:17.08]No.

 

　　[07:30.03]Sorry. I'm sorry.

 

　　[07:37.72]Come here, you twit.

 

　　[08:14.28]Explain, please, the meaning of, "He is not in his room."

 

　　[08:18.95]Well, his key's at reception and he's not answering his phone.

 

　　[08:23.80]Then kindly⁷ unlock the door!

 

　　[08:26.27]I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't do that.

 

　　[08:28.24]We're not at liberty to unlock a client's door unless there's an emergency.

 

　　[08:31.23]And you don't call this an emergency?

 

　　[08:34.16]With the greatest of respect madam, no.

 

　　[08:42.80]You were saying?

 

　　[08:43.99]What's happening?

 

　　[08:45.56]My assistant is missing in action.

 

　　[08:47.12]When you find him, I'll be downstairs at La Brasserie Ecosse. Thank you.

 

　　[08:59.96]Can I get you anything else?

 

　　[09:01.91]Another.

 

　　[09:08.03]Hello.

 

　　[09:10.44]I made you some tea. Do you take sugar?

 

　　[09:12.60]No.

 

　　[09:13.60]It's okay, I'm not gonna eat you.

 

　　[09:16.95]I don't have to be anywhere till after lunch.

 

　　[09:20.31]How about you? Do you fancy staying in for a bit?

 

　　[09:27.31]I take it that's a no, then.

 

　　[09:28.79]It's 11:30! -So?

 

　　[09:30.64]I promised Evie I'd be there by 11:00.

 

　　[09:32.12]She can go on her own, can't she? -She won't go on without me.

 

　　[09:34.75]You're kidding, right? -She means it.

 

　　[09:36.35]I have to be there before she goes on, or she can't remember her lines.

 

　　[09:39.08]Ben, she's reading from a book.

 

　　[09:41.03]It makes no difference. She's completely hopeless unless I'm in the same room.

 

　　[09:44.07]Isn't that a bit weird⁸?

 

　　[09:45.87]She's not weird. She's just nervous.

 

　　[09:50.20]Relax. She's having you on.

 

　　[09:52.92]No, she isn't. I promised her I'd be there.

 

　　[09:55.87]Once you've made a promise, you should keep it.
