LEMMY LEMMY You see, I've been running my own little business up in the north of England for quite a few years. And when I got Gary's call - I thought now's my chance to show London what it's been missing! The top 'ollywood movies on video before they reach the cinema. The world's favourite rock acts on CD, music cassette and mini disc. And... and... all the software your computer needs on just two little floppy discs. I can see you want to know my prices, don't you?
GINA Well, actually, I don't think I do.
LEMMY My prices, on average, are 50% below your normal High Street shop. You think about it, love. You'll be back.
SYLVIA So, what did you find out about our friend, Lemmy?
GINA Lemmy! Oh, that stall's just full of pirated CDs, pirated tapes, videos, computer software, you know, that sort of thing - he's not selling any fruit and vegetables at all.
SYLVIA Oh well, I'm not complaining. Life's not exactly peaceful with him around, but it's certainly got a lot more profitable. Do you know what I mean?
GINA I can imagine.
SYLVIA Now, what can I get for you?
GINA Um... are those pomegranates?
SYLVIA That's right, they are. Exotic fruit is one of my new lines.
GINA Good idea. I'll have a couple of pomegranates and one of those yellow things...
JONATHAN Sorry I'm late, have you been waiting long?
ANNE Ehm, oh, well, about 20 minutes I s'pose.
JONATHAN JONATHAN I'm sorry!
ANNE Well, not to worry. I've been - you know - reading the paper, watching people go by…which…. You know, I s'pose it's OK.
JONATHAN I left as soon as I could, but it's just that those trains are so dreadful...
