INTERVIEW ROOM
Arthur
Jamie Phelps… Between you and me, he’s a bit of a rascal that one, but I’m sure I mustn’t judge.
Callie
In what way, Mr Montgomery?
Arthur
Oh, call me Arthur, please.
Callie
Arthur, in what way did you mean that Jamie Phelps is a rascal?
Arthur
Oh you know… the usual sort of thing. We’ve had some good nights at the Groucho club that’s all… Although, I’m sure he’s settled down now. He’s a good man.
Nikesh
How long have you been Mr Phelps’s client Mr… Arthur?
Arthur
A long time. Ten years? You see, I had a restaurant in town - that was when he was part of KPL and he looked after our accounts. Then he lured me away when he struck out on his own. Rascal!
Callie
Mr Montgomery, when did you last speak to Jamie?
Arthur
We spoke this morning. Which I believe is why I’m here?
Nikesh
And what did you talk about if you don’t mind my asking?
Arthur
Oh he was after my paperwork. And quite right too. I can be a bit slapdash when it comes to keeping records and whatnot. It’s all a bit tedious, isn’t it?
Callie
Is it?
Arthur
It is. Especially when you are as busy as I am. I’ve got a new book out – Winter Warmers, I’ll leave you a copy.
Nikesh
Cheers. My wife’ll…
Callie
…Nikesh, we can’t accept that. Thanks anyway.
Nikesh
I’ll just leave it in my drawer for later. Cheers Arthu… Mr Montgomery.
Arthur
No problem. I can tell who’s in charge here.
