Episode 70

🎼  Dum ti dum ti dum ti dum...

Jakob:  I am a little worried about you, Alastair, you look very pale.

Alastair:  I’m fine but tell me again what happened at the stables.  I think I may have misheard you.

Jakob:  But I have told you three times already.

Alastair:  I know but it really doesn’t make any sense.  I am beginning to wonder if you are okay.

Jakob:  There is nothing wrong with me, maybe a little shocked by my experience.  It is not something I expected to happen in the course of my duties.

Alastair:  Let me get this straight.  Shula insisted that you have a cup of tea and offered you some cake when you went to check on the horses.

Jakob:  Yes, I find that every woman with the name of Archer is obsessed with making tea and offering cake.  The same thing happens when I go to check on Peggy’s pussy.  Is it something in their genes ?

Alastair:  And then she sat on your knee and offered sexual services.

Jakob:  Alastair, you are beginning to sound like a vicar when it is your ex-wife who is training to be one.  She was - as Kate might say - all over me like a rash.

Alastair:  Err, well, I am sure Kate is right.  Shula used to be - as Kate might say - a bit of a goer a few years ago but I thought she had lost interest in that sort of thing.

Jakob:  I do not want to hear the details of your marriage.  You just needed to know in case it happens to you.

Alistair:  What kind of  cake was it ?

Jakob:  I do not know about these things but it had something to do with your terrible English weather.

Alistair:  That sounds like lemon drizzle - my favourite.  I might pop round to see if there is any left.

Jakob:  No, I had the last piece which had a most unlikely effect on me.  I felt an uncontrollable urge to ...

Alistair:  Hang on, you’re not telling me you accepted Shula’s offer ?

Jakob:  I had to, she’s a big woman and had me pinned against a hay bale.

(loud thud as Alistair hits the floor)

🎼. Dum ti dum ti dum ti dum...

(Ed.  That’s enough thuds.  Front Row are complaining about the noise.)
