- Hello, Arthur.

- Ford! Hi, how are you?

- Fine.

- Look, er... Are you busy?

- Busy? Well, I've just got this bulldozer to lie in front of, or it will knock my house down, but otherwise, no, not especially. Why?

- Good!

- Anywhere we can talk?

- What?

- We've got to talk.

- Fine. Talk!

- And drink. It's vitally important that we talk and drink, now! We'll go to the pub in the village.

- You don't understand. That man wants to knock my house down!

- Well, he can do that whilst you're away, can't he?

- But I don't want him to!

- Ah.

- Ford, what's the matter?

- Nothing! Nothing's the matter.

- Listen to me! I've got to tell you the most important thing you've ever heard.

- Why?

- Because you're going to need a very stiff drink.
