(In this scene, Nicola meets face-to-face with Julie Price, the "People's Champion" for today's Party Conference.)
Nicola, this is Julie.
(to Julie, warmly) Thank you so much for joining us. What you're doing is really important.
(jokingly) Well, hi, I'm your regional photo opportunity for the day.
(laughing) That's--That's not...That's not the way it is. I hope you appreciate that.
(smiling) I was just kidding.
That's a good joke.
(happily) Oh, good, and that's what we need in this room right now!
(to Nicola) Um, Julie's written a speech.
(surprised) Oh, right, for today?
Yeah.
What's that about, then?
Well, basically, I start by kind of doing a tribute to me husband, Jason.
Uh-huh.
And then, we'll move on to the campaign. (Julie sits down) Um, we'll get to the middle section, and I just really want to tell everyone how we're trying to take that bastard to court, you know.
You'll get that opportunity.
Me and 6 women, whose husbands have died, we're trying our best to do him. But you know what that bastard did?
Tell me.
He sent everyone off the site and he changed the equipment, you know. He changed it to the actual, proper legal equipment. So, obviously, we've got no proof.
What, overnight?
Yeah, overnight.
(saddened) Yeah. What a-What a bastard. What a-What a bastard.
(Poor Julie's worked herself up...)
And -- Oh, God, I'm sweating like a fat lass.
(concerned) Are you-I mean, maybe this isn't a great room for you to be in. We've got to write some stupid jokes about a rich bloke on a yacht.
I mean, that's so trivial...
I've got more to tell you.
Yeah, I want to hear it. I want to hear it.
(getting up to leave) There's not -- Just a couple of pages.
Yeah, let's-we'll knock off this stuff, and then I'm with you.
Nice to meet you.
Ollie's a lovely guy. He'll look after you.
