Narrator On Saturday, Dan Harvey arrived at Heathrow on Concorde, and was met by Arnold Watson as planned. Dan, Arnold and Di spent a very pleasant evening together in London. The next day Peter and Sheila Benson took Dan to the Dog and Bone for lunch... Now it’s Monday morning. The three men are in Peter’s office finalising the contract between Benson Publications Limited and Superbooks Incorporated.
Dan Well, gentlemen, I guess we agree on everything. Arnold Yes. Peter Right. Dan They say “All’s well that ends well”. And this ending’s not just well... it’s swell. Arnold It’s not an ending, Dan. It’s a beginning. Peter Well, it took you long enough to make up your mind. Dan We made our minds up long ago, Peter. But we wanted the best deal possible. Peter And you’ve got it. Five per cent of our shares and thirty-five per cent discount on our books. Dan It’s a good deal all round... But, tell me something, Peter. Peter What? Dan No offence meant. But you Brits are sometimes a bit devious... Peter Devious? Bensons? Never. We’re always quite straightforward. Dan So how come you took me to the Dog and Bone? Peter Didn’t you like it? Dan Sure I liked it. I’d like to go there again sometime. But it was rather symbolic, wasn’t it? Peter Symbolic? Symbolic of what? Dan Well, you have the contract – the bone – so that makes me the dog that’s after it! Arnold Ha, ha. Some dog! A lion, more likely! Peter Ha, ha, ha. Dan Ha, ha, ha. Peter I’ll have a bone to pick with you i you don’t sign it! Dan With pleasure. For Superbooks, Dan Harvey. There. Peter And for Bensons... Peter Benson. That’s it... Excuse me. I don’t want to be disturbed. Angela I’ sorry Mr. Benson. It’s your wife. She insists on speaking to you. Peter OK. Put her through... Sheila? Sheila (sobbing) Peter Sheila! What’s the matter? Sheila Oh, Peter, it’s Andy. Peter What is it? Sheila He’s at the police station. He’s been arrested. Drugs, Peter, drugs.
Narrator So, first Andy had the car accident and now he’s been arrested on a drug offence. I wonder, was he taking drugs selling them? In either case, he seems to be in big trouble.
