Right.
Got a light, mate?
No! I don’t smoke! Anyway, you’re not allowed to smoke here. These seats are for non-smokers, look!
Oh, yeah, you got a light?
Yeah, I’ve got a light.
Look, would you mind not smoking, please? You’re not allowed to smoke here.
Take it easy, man. You’re making me nervous!
I’m going to call the stewardess¹.
Make my day, Adolf!
Did one of you gentlemen call?

And we have now reached our maximum cruising³ height of 10,000 meters.
10,000 meters! Gosh! That’s terribly high, isn’t?
That must be… Let me just work it out…
…about 15,000 miles. Wonderful things, these personal organizers, aren’t they? I’ve just been given this one.
My Mon gave it to me for my birthday, to help me with my business career. Have you got one?
No.
It’s fantastic. Look, it hasn’t even got a keyboard!
You just touch the screen with this, like, pen-type thing.
And every time you touch the screen, it makes a little sound.
Would you like to try it?
No, it’s alright, thanks. I think I’ll go and sit somewhere else.
Excuse me, is anyone sitting here?
What does he look like?
I’ll sit here then, if you don’t mind.
You don’t mind if this gentleman sits here, do you, Wart⁴?
What a lot, there is! There’s far more than it was at New Camford, isn’t there?
Yeah. Well, there’s a truck waiting outside.
Right. You can, like, get the stuff on to it, right?
Right.
Alright.
And then, like, get it on at the other end, and sort of ending it up, OK?
Do what?
End it up-get everything ready for the show.
Come on, Dudu. Let’s go to the hotel.
Right, see you.
See you!
