Goodnight Sweetheart1993

[first lines]

Gary:
So, if Yvonne wants to know where I am...

Ron:
You're in Aberdeen on the verge of clinching a quarter of a million pound printing contract with Sashimi Oil PLC.

Gary:
Which means I'm going to have to fly up and down to Scotland several times this week at the drop of a hat.

Ron:
Of a tam o'shanter, you mean.

Gary:
Ron, I am outlining a business coup here that will catapult Nostradamus Printing into the first division. But only if I can convince Mr McCray to convince Mr Yakimoto that we can do a better job than the printers in Nagoya. Yeah, it's my butt on the line up there in the Grampians, but I can do it, Ron; I won't let you down.

Ron:
Gary, Gary, Gary.

Gary:
Yes, Ron, Ron, Ron?

Ron:
It's only an alibi, remember? A story to tell Yvonne. None of these people actually exist: Mr McCray, Mr Yaki-whatever you said, Sashimi Oil PLC; they're all just a product of your unnervingly fertile imagination - in short, lies.

Gary:
[pause] Technically, yes, but if there's one thing I've learnt from doing all these amateur dramatics, it's you've got to believe what you're saying is true. That is the definition of a good actor.

Ron:
It's also a pretty good definition of a psychopath.
