SECRETARY: Hello, Granny P’s rest home. Who's that speaking, please?

HUGO: This is Hugo Peters. Could I have a word with the Boss, please?

SECRETARY: Hold on, please.

MR P: Peters, it's you. What a surprise! Are you calling from home?

HUGO: No, no. I've been spending a few days away from home. I was expecting some… er… unwelcome “visitors”, so I decided not to be in.

MR P: Very clever of you, Peters. But if your “visitors” really want to find you, they will - in the end.

HUGO: Well, that's what I was calling about, in a way. First of all, I do hope you haven't had too much trouble with Roger Temple.

MR P: Temple won't be any trouble to anyone, ever again. I don't let people make trouble for me. You know that, don't you, Peters?

HUGO: Yes, sir. Look, I'd like you to give me another chance.

MR P: I see. Give me one good reason why I should.

HUGO: I've just made a new South American contact, he has some really excellent “stuff”. If you like, I could bring some to Trinidad for you, and we could talk about it.

MR P: “We could talk about it”. Talk is your speciality, isn't it, Peters?

HUGO: This isn't just talk, sir. My contact can get thousands of kilos of the stuff, if you're interested.

MR P: Very well, Peters. You know what a kind heart I've got. I'll accept your offer. But this stuff had better be really good - or else!

HUGO: Thank God for that! I should be alright now! I'd better start packing my suitcase...
