Met Sergeant: Hello, Nicholas.
Nicholas Angel: Hello, Sergeant.
Met Sergeant: How's the hand?
Nicholas Angel: Still a bit stiff.
Met Sergeant: (sniffs deeply) It can get awfully hairy out there. I'm surprised you weren't snapped up sooner for a nice desk job, that's what I did.
Nicholas Angel: I like to think of my office as out on the street.
Met Sergeant: Indeed you do. Your arrest record is... (opens a page on his desk with his right hand, reads from it) 400% higher than any other officer (closes page), which is high time such...skills were put to better use. We're making you Sergeant.
Nicholas Angel: (grinning slightly) I see.
Met Sergeant: (quickly and quietly) In Sandford, Gloucestershire.
Nicholas Angel: In where, sorry?
Met Sergeant: In Sandford, Gloucestershire.
Nicholas Angel: (taking the new information in) That's... in the country.
Met Sergeant: Yes, lovely.
Nicholas Angel: Isn't there a Sergeant's position here in London?
Met Sergeant: (laughs briefly) No.
Nicholas Angel: Can I remain here as a PC?
Met Sergeant: (throws his hands up in the air) No.
Nicholas Angel: (sternly) Do I have any choice in this?
Met Sergeant: Neewww.
Nicholas Angel: Sergeant, I kinda like it here.
Met Sergeant: Well, you've always wanted a transfer to the country.
Nicholas Angel: In twenty years or so, yes.
Met Sergeant: Well done you.
Nicholas Angel: (thinks briefly) Hang on, I don't remember telling you that.
Met Sergeant: Yes, you did. (He leans over to his desk) You said (He cocks his head to one side and opens a corner of a thick document on his desk; reading from the document, quickly and quietly) "I'd love to settle in the country sometime, Janine." (He closes his document and looks at Nicholas)
Nicholas Angel: (Thinks carefully; sternly) I'd like to talk to the Inspector.
Met Sergeant: (leans forward to his desk phone/intercom) You can speak to the Inspector, but I can assure you, he will tell you exactly the same thing as I have. (He picks up the desk phone handset with his left hand, throws it into his right hand, and uses his left hand to dial the Met Inspector's number)
