(Peter, Emma and Stewart are in the car, on the way to Thought Camp...and ALL 3 of them are on their cell phones. Stewart is talking to a Minister, Emma is talking to Phil, and Peter is talking to his wife. )
I was picked up at seven, of course I haven't walked the dog. I barely had time to take myself for a shit.
Phil, I'm sure you're suffering from "Peter Withdrawal" symptoms, but I really, really need you to keep an eye of the Tickel issue.
Thought Camp ETA 13 minutes, okay? You're taking the bridge, Kieran.
Okay, well, you can start by not referring to him as Gyppo. Or Gypsy, Phil. It's not, it's not the abbreviation that's the problem.
If he has a thorn in his paw, it must be from when you took him for a walk yesterday.
What do you mean, "You're in charge?" You are not in fucking charge, you doughnut!
Of course you're gonna keep me informed, I want the full crunch on all the feeds, as usual. Everything below the equator.
Take him to the dog hospital. (Peter's wife thinks he's being sarcastic.) No, I'm not being sarcastic! There is one!
Try and keep an eye on things, all right?
The number will be in the folder. The folder. What? (Peter sighs as he realizes he has lost the connection.)
(Now, all 3 members of Team Mannion are off their cell phones.)
Where are you taking us, Stewart? This Mind Kampf is in the middle of nowhere.
Thought Camp, Peter, and isolation is the mother of renewal. We shall retreat to go forwards.
Terrible signal! Phil sounded like he was phoning in a report on an African coup.
Why's he even gone in today?
I put him on Tickel oversight.
Oh, the eviction.
Well, cutting the guy ropes on his tent is hardly the Siege of Troy.
Bailiffs thought it would be easier today, quicker or quieter.
Yeah, but I want Phil sealed off, right? He makes no statement today, not even off the record.
He wanted to feel useful.
Then he should sell his organs.
