State of Play2003

Della Smith:
[Della and Cal are trying to convince their editor to hire someone] He's done good investigative work with the "Indie" and the "Mail."

Cal McCaffrey:
And if we're talking working ethic, the guy never sleeps.

Della Smith:
We think he's got information worth having. And we know for a fact that he's not signed a contract with the "Mail."

Cameron Foster:
He's a pisshead. The reason he never sleeps is because he can't turn his back on a drink. He's too young mentally. Loudmouthed bloody typist - that's all you get with him.

Cal McCaffrey:
And he's dedicated freelance. So you only have to pay for what you get... Cameron, he knows something... Honestly, he's useful.

Cameron Foster:
Do we know what he's earning?

Cal McCaffrey:
He hasn't even mentioned money, so he wants this.

Cameron Foster:
Don't give him any cash advance expenses. He'll only blow it on the strung out freak he married when he was about twelve. Have you met her ? Lunatic ! Wedding was a total farce. Gareth Gates meets "Betty Blue." [to Dan] Oi !
