Met Inspector: (sliding into the desk, next to the Met Sergeant) Hello, Nicholas. How's the hand?
Nicholas Angel: It's still a bit stiff.
Met Inspector: And how are things at home?
Nicholas Angel: I'm sorry, sir?
Met Inspector: (jovially) How's Janine?
(The Met Sergeant coughs.)
Nicholas Angel: We're no longer together, sir.
Met Inspector: Right, well, then where are you living?
Met Sergeant: (leans over to Met Inspector; quietly) He's staying at the Section House, sir.
Met Inspector: With the recruits?
Met Sergeant: (looks into Nicholas's eyes) Yes, he's living out of cardboard boxes.
Met Inspector: Well then, you're packed already. Nicholas, we're offering you a smashing position with a delightful cottage in a lovely little place that has I think has won Village of the Year...I don't know how many times. It'll be good for you.
Nicholas Angel: (beat, then) I...don't really know what to say.
Met Inspector: "Yes"?
Met Sergeant: (arrogantly) "Yes, thank you"? (He laughs briefly.)
(Nicholas says nothing. The Met Inspector and Met Sergeant are grinning at him.)
Nicholas Angel: (shakes his head slowly) No, I'm sorry. I'm gonna have to...
Met Inspector: You want to...take this higher? (points up)
Nicholas Angel: (realising that's what he wants) Yes, yes, I do.
Met Inspector: You want me to bother the Chief Inspector about this? [indicates the phone]
Nicholas Angel: Yes.
Met Inspector: You want me to get the Chief Inspector to come all the way down here?
Nicholas Angel: Yes, I do.
Met Inspector: Okay. [shrugs reluctantly, reaches for the desk phone, then shouts, off to his right] Kenneth!
[The Chief Inspector immediately enters from a sliding glass door, to the left of Nicholas and to the right of the Met Sergeant and Met Inspector.]
