(Fergus is bringing Tara Strachan, a strikingly beautiful economist, to DoSAC HQ.)
(to Tara) Here we are, at the Coalface. (to Adam) Ah. Adam, this is Tara Strachan.
(to Tara) Hello, lovely to meet you.
Hi there.
Really lovely, lovely.
Shall we, er...She's an economist...
Real pleasure, actually.
...and a lady.
Yes, obviously. Lovely.
(Fergus and Adam are quite happy to see Tara. Phil, on the other hand, is a little confused.)
What's going on? Who's the skirt?
Oh, I'd love to bring you up to speed, Phil. I really would, but I'm not gonna live long enough. So tell you what, why don't you go and help Glenn watch his telly? I think the dancing's on in a minute.
(to Tara) I really like your coat, by the way.
(quite flattered) Thank you. Thank you.
It's like a leopard.
It is a little bit.
Or a cheetah.
