[prydonia]

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 tell someone.

Colin:You’re patronising me.

Lynda:I'm not! Colin, I’m serious about this. You're right - you’re a salesman. 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? (gets up) Oh, how about a couple of tasteful little adverts? Oh, I know a hall in the town 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 the door) How about a TV commercial? Or some jazzy little pamphlets? How about a brochure with four-coloured pictures?

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

Colin:Or a newspaper.

Lynda:Exactly.
