I'm Maurice.
Maurice.
You?
Can I?
You will find I usually call around
this time, for a little drinkie.
I like whiskey with a whisker of water.
No more than a whisker, mind you.
That ruins it.
It's called "drowning."
Do you know how to mix drinks?
Once acquired,
it's a talent that will serve you for life.
Like typing.
So, what are you doing?
- In London, I mean.
- Looking for work.
- What sort of work?
- Work.
- You know, work.
- Yes, yes, I know all about it.
Any particular kind?
- Modeling.
- Oh, there can't be much call for that.
- Call for what?
- Yodeling.
Not yodeling! Yodeling?
Modeling! You know.
You know anyone
in the modeling field?
Yes. I know everyone.
Do you have a fallback position?
- No, I don't need one.
- Right.
- Are you saying I do?
- No. I wouldn't say that.
- No.
- No? Good.
I'm thirsty now. Can I have a beer?
I told him to get me some in.
- What did he say?
- He said it were a slippery slope.
