Edward "Eddie" Horniman, Susan "Susie" Glass and others in “An Unsympathetic Gentleman”

Hello, Susan. [hands over takeout bag] Compliments of the chef.

Enjoying your little sojourn into the murky world of criminality?

Uh... It’s certainly edifying. Shall we?

Let’s. [knocks on Frank's door and Frank's young daughter Alice appears]

You’re not the taxi.

No, we were... We’re looking for your dad. Is he around?

He’s busy packing.

That’s all right, darling. This won’t take long.

[enters Frank's study room] Hello, Francis. You going somewhere?

Um... How did you find me?

Oh, that would be down to your helpful Chinese friend. Now, weren’t you supposed to give us something before you go?

If you can find it amongst all these bags. [to Alice] Your dad’s a bit of a messy pup, isn’t he?

[chuckles] Yeah, Daddy’s a bit of a mess, isn’t he? That’s what Mummy’s always saying. [chuckles] But you’d be surprised what nutrition can be found in other people’s stools. See that one there? That’s a former cabinet minister. Collects illegally smuggled birds’ eggs. This one is a certain children’s TV presenter. Got himself a taste for, uh... [to Alice] You like the breakfast show, don’t you, darling?

Daddy used to be one of the top journalists in the country. Then the oligarchs took over.

Yes, no freedom of the press anymore. You have to answer to the powers that be. And if you don’t follow their narrative, they bury you. But not me.

My daddy’s got integrity.

Oh yeah.

Hmm.

Big plastic bags full of it.
