(Steve approaches Julius while he's feeding ducks.)
The rain in Spain stays mainly on the plain.
Well, actually, that is a popular misconception, because what happens is the rain falls just before the mountain ridge, but they wouldn't want you to know that, because it would spoil the rhyme.
Julius. What's up, Boo-Boo? (Both men laugh)
Not much, I'm just feeding some victuals to these poor old ducks. That red-crested pochard there is positively hoggish with this Hovis.
I heard certain rumblings that I don't come out terribly well in this report of yours. Off the record, matey, am I fucked?
Off the record, and this is strictly between you, me and that ornamental gatepost over there...
Of course.
(smiling) The report is strictly confidential until publication. (Julius slightly chuckles) Do you see what I've done there? The bald man has done "a funny."
(unamused) It's not funny. No, it's not funny at all, Julius.
(continuing to laugh) I beg to differ. I think I'm on sparkling form.
For fuck's sake! You FUCKING... Pontius Pilate, with the emphasis on PONCE!
