[Kevin Nauta]

Colin: It's just like gut certainty, you know. Like when you're selling and youhit the right price - you just know. But I'm not selling. And I can't really besure. I mean I can't go pointing fingers, can I? I can’t go accusing her dad ofanything! What if I was wrong, think of the damage I would do.

Lynda: If there is something going on, she’s got to be the one to say.

Colin: Yeah, but she’s never gonna tell anyone. Not for years, maybe never!

Lynda: We can’t just let this go on!

Colin:  Iknow.

Lynda: So somehow you’ve got to persuade her.

Colin:  How,Lynda? I’m a salesman, that’s all I am. Not a counsellor.

Lynda: Then sell her an idea.

Colin: Don’t patronise me.

Lynda: Sell her the idea that if something’s happening, she should tellsomeone.

Colin: You’re patronising me.

Lynda: I'm not! Colin, I’m serious about this. You're right - you’re asalesman. You're a very good salesman, you're the best salesman I’ve ever met.So sell!

Colin: Right, Lynda, sure. I’ll have a few posters printed up, shall I? (getsup) Oh, how about a couple of tasteful little adverts? Oh, I know a hall in thetown centre we could use. How about that? 

Lynda: You’re not thinking, Colin.

Colin: I’m not thinking? Sorry, Lynda, I’ve had enough of this. (heads for thedoor) How about a TV commercial? Or some jazzy little pamphlets? How about abrochure with four-coloured pictures?

 

He walks out of the newsroom. After a moment,he enters it again.

 

Colin: Or a newspaper.

Lynda: Exactly.
