- Why, it's Mr Popescu! Oh, very great pleasure to see you here, Mr Popescu. As you know, ladies and gentlemen, Mr Popescu is a very great supporter of one of our medical charities.

- Are you a slow writer, Mr Martins?

- Not when I get interested.

- I'd say you were doing something pretty dangerous this time.

- Yeah?

- Mixing fact and fiction.

- Should I make it all fact?

- Why, no. I'd say stick to fiction. Straight fiction.

- I'm too far along with the book, Mr Popescu.

- Haven't you ever scrapped a book, Mr Martins?

- Never.

- Pity.

- Ladies and gentlemen, if there are no more questions for Mr Martins, I think I can call the meeting officially closed.

- Who's there? Who is it? Who is it?

- It's all right. It's all right.
