26. I suppose I’d better go out and do some shopping. Can I just go out like this?
27. I’ll have a look at myself. My god! I look awful. I suppose I’ll have to wash my face, and put on some makeup
28. and—I just don’t feel like it. I don’t feel like anything.
29. Just drinking: that’s the only thing I’m good for!
30. My god, it’s you, Harry! I wasn’t expecting you.
31. I wasn’t expecting what bloody Thacker said to me either! I’ve got to go back to Trinidad!
32. Oh, no!
33. So I’m just going to pack my suitcase. I’m getting the 3:30 flight.
34. I’ll take this light cotton suit, and these ties, and this shirt,
35. and this one, and a pair of black shoes and a few pairs of socks.
36. Harry, do you still find I’m attractive?
37. Eh?
38. Or are you starting to find me horrible and ugly?
39. Look dear, this really isn’t the moment to talk about things like that.
40. I’ve got a plane to catch in under two hours. I’ll just get my washing and shaving things.
41. Razor, soap, towel, you don’t mind if I take the shampoo, do you? Toothpaste… toothbrush…
42. Where’s my toothbrush? Have you seen it?
43. It’s never the right moment, is it, Harry? You’ve always got to go somewhere for work
44. You’ve only just come back from Trinidad!
45. Look. I’m not going there on bloody holiday!
46. It’s bad enough already without you making it worse! Now where’s my damned toothbrush?
47. So what would you like me to do then? Just go on as if I didn’t care?
48. As if it didn’t matter to me one way or the other?
49. I’ll have to buy a toothbrush at the airport. I’m going to miss that plane if I don’t leave soon.
50. Are you listening to me, Harry?
51. Ah, here it is! What the hell was it doing there? Look, Susan, we’ll have a nice long talk when I come back, OK?
52. And when will that be?
53. I don’t know, do I? I’m a detective, not a bloody fortune-teller! Soon, I hope.
54. Here we are; I’ve packed my suitcase. I’ll call you, OK?
55. What does she look like, Harry? What? What does who look like? Oh come on Susan, Don’t be ridiculous!
56. Look, I’ve really got to go now, bye-bye. I’ll send you a postcard;
57. I’ll call you. Bye!
58. So that’s all I get. That’s all I ever get from men! What’s the matter with me? Oh, I hate myself!
59. I’ll just take a couple of pills and go to sleep. I just want to forget about everything!
60. Damn it, it’s empty? I’ll just have to go to the pharmacy and get some more.
61. Can I help you?
62. yes, I’d like 5o Oblivac, please
63. I’m sorry, madam, you can only get Oblivac on prescription.
64. It’s alright, I’ve got one
65. I’m afraid this prescription is out of date. You’ll have to go to your doctor for another one.
66. Oh, alright. I’d better go right away
67. Come in!
68. Good afternoon, Mrs. Temple. How are we getting along?
