[1989 in The White Horse Tavern] Whiskey, please.
Uh, you'll have to be more specific. We got a menu now.
Oh. … What's the oldest you got?
Well, I've got a Glen Grant, old enough to be your father.
[smiles] I'm older than I look.
You waiting for someone?
I think I've been stood up. We had a fight. Last time we were here.
Ah.
It was my fault. Wish I could say I was drunk at the time, but I was just an idiot.
I've seen plenty of friends get in fights in pubs. Even more of them laugh about it together later.
Maybe in another 100 years.
Ah.… You'll have to have found a new pub by then. This place has been sold to make room for new flats. [Hob looks stunned] The borough council are trying to stop them, but if you've got enough money in this country, you can do whatever you bloody want. Pour you another one? While you wait?
Please.
[fade to Morpheus standing outside gated area around the abandoned White Horse Tavern, and sees a spray painted arrow pointing to "The New Inn"]
[looking up from paperwork he is doing in "The New Inn", he sees Morpheus has just come in and smiles] You're late.
[smiles] It seems I owe you an apology. I've always heard it impolite to keep one's friends waiting.
