Colin: Lynda, do you know what these figures are doing? They're screaming in pain. And the reason they're screaming in pain, Lynda, is because we can't afford to do this issue.
Lynda: What do you mean can't afford?
Colin: Matt Kerr charges us rent for this place. He charges us for printing, for materials, he even charges us for breathing on Gazette property. And now we've got the phone bill to pay. The only money we make is from the advertising we sell.
Lynda: What about the half page ad from the DIY store? You said that would cover it.
Colin: They're onlygonnapay for the ad if we run a photograph of Tommy Anderson at the opening ceremony. And that's not till tomorrow morning.
Kenny: Yeah, and we're printing tonight.
Colin: And without that photograph, we haven't a budgie's chance in a microwave of getting paid for the ad.
Lynda: So what do we do?
Colin: Do? Lynda, this is an impossible situation. The opening ceremony is not till tomorrow morning, Tommy Anderson won't be there till then. They haven't even got the sign up outside the shop yet.
Lynda: And there's absolutely no way you can fix it?
Colin: Well, of course I can fix it. I just wanted you to know it's difficult, that's all.
