"This is my friend and he's a good mate of Danny Reed." "We just wondered if you'd seen him by any chance." "No." "And if you do, you can tell him I want my bloody van back." "Right." "What was he doing with your van?" "Nicking it, by the looks of things." "Now, do you mind, I'm busy." "Last time I saw Danny." "Barry sent him off on a job." "What kind of job?" "I dunno." "Sorry." "I'd better go." "Shouldn't you be..." "getting ready, too, honey?" "Excuse me, could you spare me a pound, please?" "?" "I'm very sorry to have to ask, but...?" "You couldn't spare me a penny?" "Thank you." "Excuse me." "I'm mortified to ask this, but could you spare me a pound?" "I'm starving." "Thank you so much." "You're the only person who's stopped." " What's your name, love?"

""Avoid people who are looking to hurt you as it may lead to you being hurt."" "It's just a hunch, but do you think you're being a bit vague?" "Come on..." "Bill." "It's only the horoscopes." "I'm sorry you've had an accident, Veronica, but if you are not well enough, go home and rest." "I'll be fine." "Hello, Burton's Buzz." "Hi, I need to speak to Veronica." "Is she there?" "She's busy right now." "Can I take a message?" " I need to speak to her." " Sorry, who is this?" "You know, wine is not so bad after a couple of glasses." "It's horrible to start with and then it gets kind of OK." "It's so weird to hear you say that." "No, I mean," "I like wine, don't I?" "So, it's got even worse." "Any excuse to rub up against me or lean over me, and he'll do it." "But what can I do?" "He's my boss." "And I'm not the only woman he's done this to." "Why don't you all get together and kick his arse?" " It's not that easy." " You're a lawyer." "You've got the kind of job most ordinary folk would give their right hand to do and all you do is sit there moaning." "I'm talking about serious sexual harassment." "Is that the only advice you can give me?" "What's got into you, V?" "Eh, I'm sorry." "Who needs men when you've got a rabbit?" "It's loads better than when you're a bloke." "With a bloke." "You're terrible." "You really are." "I admit they are amazing." "Thank you." "Not quite a substitute for the real thing though." "How are things with..." "Ali?" "Yeah." "Well, who knows?" "Why?" "Is he..." "Do you think..." "Do I think he's a tosser who doesn't care about me?" "Yeah." "But what's new?" "Yeah." "Men, eh?" "Idiots." "Oh, God, it's good to see you being yourself again, V." "I didn't realise that it's been very tough for you." "You've been going through some crazy stuff." "It's...been..." "It's been really difficult." "If there is anything that you want to say to me..." "OK." "Have you ever imagined being a man?" "Look, just...just... ..imagine if I wasn't Veronica." "But you are." "No, but..." "What if..." "I was this man and now I'm this woman?" "And even though it sounds completely stupid, what if it was true?" "I don't know how anyone can wear these." "They are like instruments of torture." "Perhaps we ought to export them as part of our not-so-ethical foreign policy." "How was your day?" "It was an empty, fatuous, vulgar load of nothing." "Then I went for a few pints with the security guards and that was a right laugh." "You're drunk." "Lay off." "What were you doing driving out there that night?" " Can't remember." " Really?" "Are you sure?" " Do you think I'm lying?" " I'm not sure." "You're acting so weird, it wouldn't surprise me." " I'm not weird." " You..." "Really?" "Before the accident..." " After the accident." " Give me that." " And is that supposed to be me?" " Gimme it!" "I-I don't mind being ignored." "And abused." "I don't even mind the fact that we have no physical relationship." "But it would be nice if you didn't leave your vibrator on the floor." "But I...can't do this forever." "You mean, what if she's changed for good?" "What if the accident was just a wake-up call to the fact that her life, her boyfriend and her friends and her job are a bunch of pointless, tedious crap?" "And then what do you do?" "But you love Veronica so much, don't you?" "You forgive her anything." "Guys." "I had the weirdest dream." "Birthday card?" "Birthday card..." "?" "I want to do more of your sort of stuff." "Are you talking to me?" "I wanna do serious stories." "About cover-ups, conspiracies." "I know a lot about them." "There's such a thing as playing to your strengths." "Me, I can sniff out a good story at 20 paces." "And you, your peachy arse looks nice in a tight skirt." "Looks like you've got a wee visitor." "Hiya." "I've come to ask you about Danny." "How did you find me?" "Oh, yeah." "I met him in this pub." "A few times." " The Moonrakers Arms?" " Yeah." "He was hanging round with the wrong sort." "I know." "I want you to help me find him." "Yes." "Yes, I would love to." "OK." "I know where he lives, so we could try there first." "Great." "Great." "Come on." " I'm going out." " Where?" "Oh, big piece on street style, you know." "Eye shadow and shoes." "I tried knocking a million times." "There is never anyone here." " How did you know that?" " Most people leave keys somewhere near the door." "God." "What a dump." "He hasn't been back since." "How do you know?" "Just...get that sense." "Doesn't feel recently lived in." "Is that like a journalist's know-how?" "Yeah." "Yeah, after a while you get to know these things." "Do you..." "Do you know him well?" "Not really, no." "I mean, he's sweet, bit weird." "He's got a thing about me." "You know what boys are like." "Subtle as a brick." "Maybe he was just trying to be your friend." "Yeah, maybe he was." "He didn't have many, that's for sure." "Right, so what do we do now?" "Well, he might have had a bump on the head." "He could be... wandering round confused." " Why do you think that?" " Just a hunch." "Then maybe we should advertise in The Big Issue, then." "Yeah, good idea, and Vogue." "Vogue?" "Yeah." "A range of magazines." " And what about the police?" " No." "Not just yet." " If you say so." " Just trust me." "OK." "Right, I'd better get back to work." "OK." "Look..." "Just call me if you hear anything." "That's my card." "ok." " Sorry." " Sorry." "After you." "'And we show you what we know...'" "Listen." "I've..." "I've been doing a lot of thinking." "About near-death experiences." "And I've realised that... ..I'm making a terrible mistake." "We were the happiest couple alive before the accident." "And I'm an idiot if I think that's just gone overnight." "I understand now why you are pushing me." "The psychology of it all." "You're pushing me away... because you're scared." "You're scared in case you die and you leave me alone." "You've convinced yourself that it's easier, less selfish, just to be single." "But the thing is, darling, you're not going to die, and I'll never let you out of my sight again." "'Please, you've got to help me!" "'" "Jay, you have no idea how good it is to see you." " What was his name?" " That was Danny Reed!" "You arrested him, then let him go." "It's me, babe, it's me." "The craziest thing has happened to me." "?" "Even if you knew the truth, you would not be able to handle it." "If ever I see you two around here again, you're dead." "All right?" "'I guess you've got to try everything once.'"
