Milford

P-I didn't know you had a box here?

R- One for all the jocks and lawyers, the jocks (judges) get fat and the lawyers wear wigs!

P- It's the 8-course fine dining and not the drama's I'm here for

R--Ambrosia and nectar too!

P- ..and the other entertainment?

R- we get to see into a police cell, all the dramas, tragedies and comedies in real time!

P- any beatings, or just standard injustices and suicides?

R- you have to pay more for that.

P- But still the same costume dramas?

R- Exactly! I do like a good bit of real theatre.

P- It will put the West end to shame.... all that malignant self -righteous moralising!!! Puts oneself off one's food.

R- Are you testing before you buy, with the ye olde fokesee 'One does this, and One does that'?

P- Perjury is a device adapted from 'social tax avoidance'!

R- Truth and power so hate each other that they work with each other against conformity.

P-Never underestimate the power of social deviance!

R- Why have too much submissiveness when too little will be sustainable?

P- Is sustainability insurable?

R- ....................................is more inclusive.

P- Now I thought we'd discussed this before! It is poverty that's a mass movement of inclusivity?!

R- No, we talked about hierarchies being able to transcend time via inheritance, which is a paradox of mortality and the chaos of genetics! ..and you agreed, even though you for some reason are shaking your head!??

P- I can't remember that, but what I can remember is that inheritance is for the many and not just the few and is a democratic institution that uses family inheritance as its main delivery system to bring society wide functionalism and upholds the rights of all under the law, that speaks to all like-minded honourable people!

R- Thanks for the speech!

P-in other words invent a way that society must never let the rich feel alienated towards those who can't afford it!

R- and I thought we were going to talk about economics!

P- Is that the spark of sarcasm that's hovering over this rather disappointing fish course?

R- And so is your tailor- disappointing!

P-and now he gets it!

R- Why fire the chef when you can let him down with your attire?

P- You take inequality and make it sound and over achiever and yet equality for you is just another oversharer.

R- Drink some more and mix a God complex with a imposter syndrome, but you can save the best for last being confusing your vicissitudes with Havana syndrome blended with the enchanting Stockholm what's it!!

P- I hate it when I run dry of Syndromes!

R- Spinning plates of washed, dried served, spun and broken into a dish of everything that’s...

P- Is it the case that the more we eat here the posher we get?

R- Good one Sherlock! Why do you think we're here?

P-Is it the value of making less than the profit that selects itself that has also less value but more self-validation? Shit! Did I just say that?

R- Wait till you feel like a high court judge!! I cannot wait to see that!!

P-Materialism is something that owns part of you without any individual or collective freedom to explore it!!??

-R- try the sauce!

P-Is value more expensive than non-validation.

R-Ow, I get it, ‘who needs money more than the rich?'

P-'Who needs money less than those who want to be poor but can't afford it?'

R- touché!

P- Get rid of this nonsense!!

R- You see? 'Nonsense'?!!

P- You got one all...????

R- yeah, becoming a high court judge will begin to make elderly.... or stricken with dementia!!?

(he whispers to himself)

P- This suspicion never lets you go, but paranoia, however, is an addiction that can open doors for you!

R- addiction is the best, isn't it?!!

P- Best consumed by a hunger that the next course will need to be better by a country mile!

R- These Restaurants all think they are high end, and yet they deliberately throw in a lesser course to get us to appreciate their masterly skill set!

P- A ha! Damage is often required to prove resilience rather than culpability, but the more resilient you are....

R- ..................One is.

P-..............................One is, the more damaged you have had to be.

R- Damage and hate have to be experienced rather than taught.

P- pedagoguery is less permanent, but more effective.

P- but finding out that no one can afford wealth as it will teach you how to make worthless other people rather than oneself alone!!

R- And that is why Judge Bench, that charity doesn't begin, it finishes people off!

P-No, only between the dawn and dusk will humanity fail, begin and conclude!

R- well, don't fall asleep then!

P- And if I fell asleep, who would wake me up? Surely there is no tenderness to be found in all men, the only tenderness you'll find in men can be found in the meat they consume prepared by the underclass of over worked chefs who only serve their one and true master...? No? here's a clue.... it is not the customer!

R- The under chef! Potential is given away to someone who steals it from you and sells it for a Michelin star ...and then fires you!

P- Throw the book at them!!

R- aren't books like families? Unreadable if you can't visualise?

P- Now this is my domain!

R- No it isn’t.

P- Stay with me!

R- 3 courses to go and he still expects me to tolerate his obnoxious pontificating...mind you I should have taped him!! It would have been great blackmail material! Judge fucking Bench!! But the Painter can be controlled but the Painting may exceed its remit! Enough for you back there?

A foreign spy centre answers - We have what we need. Don't forget to finish the chef, we no longer need that spineless amateur, even if he's Paris finest!

R- Copy that!

FSC- So much for his Left-wing credentials

R- Can I keep my cover, because it isn't broken yet?

FSC- Why do you still like this guy?

R- I don't know! I just...

FSC- Your mothers orders were quite specific.

R- Let me deal with him...I owe him at least that!

FSC- as long as we do not leave any loose ends or threads to pull on! DO YOU UNDERSTAND RANDALL?

R- Let me talk to my mother.

FSC- Absolutely not!
