Well there you go

MAC

The male ego never ceases to amaze me

Been taking those Germaine Greer tablets again

MAC

Then how can we back you up

From a distance

MAC

I don't like it

I'm playing it safe

That’s a matter of opinion

MAC

Were not arresting anyone... I'm um…. bonding. Isn't that what you wanted

Having a rest. We just earned it.

What are we stopping here for?

MAC

It’s a railway station.

Don’t I get a lift home?

MAC

Not tonight Peter. (Pete glances in the rear vision mirror and sees that IA guys are following them)

You got to be joking. What does this dog want?

MAC

Who knows, maybe they’re just fishing.

Bullshit, I hope its nothing to do with the buy.

MAC
