Hal and Annie in “A Spectre Calls”

Hal

[Doing press-ups] 90...91...

Annie

Hal?

Hal

92...

Annie

Hal, um, It's 12 o'clock, so baby massage and stimulating story time.

Hal

98... 99...

Annie

100, Great! Um, Eve needs to...

Hal

102... 103... 104...

Annie

Kirby's great, isn't he?

Hal

105...

Annie

He's quite funny too.

[Hal continues his press-ups]

Annie

Now you're just showing off!

[Hal stops his press-ups. He gets up]

Hal

I can't do twelve till one.

Annie

Yes, but it's on the rota.

Hal

Yes, but on my rota it says 12 o'clock, press-ups, then You and Yours on Radio 4.

Annie

Oh!

Hal

It's important. It keeps me...

Annie

Buff?

Hal

No.

Annie

Up to date with consumer affairs?

Hal

No, it keeps me from killing.

Annie

Oh.

Hal

And you've seen me. This is how I focus and control it.

Annie

So you take it out on your pecs.

Hal

Better them than humanity.

Annie

Hal, we're meant to be a team.

[Hal sighs.]

Hal

OK.

Annie

And when you said humanity you meant...

Hal

I'd kill everyone I encountered until I was sated. Barry, Cardiff, most of South Wales.

Annie

Right. Not all bad, then. OK... [Hands Eve over to him] Well, don't forget to use lavender oil for the massage. OK?

Hal

I never forget anything.

Annie

It must be lovely being you. Always the cleverest and the oldest and never forget anything for hundreds of years.

Hal

No. It's terrible.
