I've got to go.
It's only ten past nine.
You know what the traffic is like.
I do. It's a good thing we're not expected to run a major sporting event in this city. It could well be complete mayhem.

In this episode: John Clarke (7), Bryan Dawe (2), Gina Riley (1), Journalist (1), Jasmine Holt (1)
Mr Wilson.
[Interrupting] Now John ...
Or Jasmine, of course. That's the other obvious alternative.
I don't understand then, Mr Wilson, why in the construction of a 100-metre track you would want to depart too radically from the constraints laid down for us by the conventional calibration of distance.
Mr Wilson. Do you know who is the current 100 metres all-comers Australian record holder?
WMr Wilson
Can I guess?
There's not much point in guessing.
WMr Wilson
Is he an African American?
He's not an African American, no.
WMr Wilson
Is he that Canadian from Jamaica?
No, he's not a Canadian from Jamaica.
WMr Wilson
I give up.
The 100-metre record in this country, Mr Wilson, is currently held by Bryan.
WMr Wilson
Bryan?
Yes.
WMr Wilson
Congratulations.
Thank you.
A new mark, Mr Wilson, set at a blistering session last Wednesday. I wish you'd been there. We were down there and we had a bet.
WMr Wilson
Was this wind assisted?
No, and we'd had a couple, and in my view Bryan is not in quite the nick he was in at the same stage of last season.
[Answering the telephone] Hello? "Dead Builder Proprietary Limited"?
They say you've reneged on your commitment to use totally recycled water within the Olympic village.
FFran
[Whispering from off-stage] There's a good reason for that!
GRGary Robertson
There is a good reason for that, and it is this:
FFran
[Whispering from off-stage] The Hindus won't touch recycled water.
GRGary Robertson
The Zulus won't torch it.
The Zulus won't torch it?
GRGary Robertson
Not in a million years. We asked them. We're not idiots.
FFran
[Whispering from off-stage] The Indians won't drink it!
GRGary Robertson
West Indians want trinkets. What can I do? My hands are tied.
I'm a humble man, Mr Copperfield, but I refuse to be remembered as he who ran the 100 metres at the Sydney Olympics over 94 metres.
Robert Walkley?
Writes for the Star.
Star?
Weekly tabloid. Light-heared mixture of racism and pornography.
