Fleur : “Pete … We’re losing you!”
(Pete smiles..)
Pete : “I was just trying to remember the ‘Christmas Crunch’ Poem. It seems a bit irrelevent now.”
He turns to Max. The man who’s face seems to be permanently smiling.
Pete : “Max… Do you think that we will be able to see Jean-Claude Thackery tomorrow before I fly up to Paris?”
Max : “I’ll give him a ring…Or at least I’ll speak to his Missus.
It’s so difficult to pin him down … because he’s so bonkers! You realise he has virtually no contact with what we know as the real world.
Without his wife Veronique, he would be totally stuffed.
Do you remember the story I told you about him flying into Amsterdam to do an exhibition in The Hague?
Veronique was unable to go too because she had pleuresy.
He arrived…. then rode around on the Dutch railway network for a few hours, ending up in Rotterdam station. Fortunately Veronique was contacted when Jean-Claude tried to purchase a first class ticket to Prague with her credit card!”
Pete : “I remember." (Pause.)
