"THE TALE OF THE BIG WHY"
PURDEY LEANS ON
WHAT'S LEFT OF BRANDON'S RIPPED APART CAR AS GAMBIT DRIVES UP
GAMBIT: I say, need
any help? (He
gets out of his car) Could be a blocked carburettor.
GAMBIT: Purdey, are
you OK?
PURDEY: Bit
bruised, that's all.
GAMBIT: I'm
renowned for my healing hands.
STEED: (Holding up Brandon's boots) You didn't put them in a
plastic bag.
PURDEY: I thought
about it. As my bike cartwheeled and I flew through the air and smashed my head
against a treetrunk, I thought about it…but then I forgot.
WATCHING GAMBIT
LAYING ON THE FLOOR READING A BOOK
PURDEY: He's read
that chapter twice already.
STEED: Bessie's
mating habits…
PURDEY: Very badly
written…
STEED: And
anatomically impossible.
GAMBIT: Oh, I don't
know. Certainly works you up…for food.
DRIVING TO GO AND
GET SOMETHING TO EAT, GAMBIT'S CONCENTRATING ON THE CASE; PURDEY'S NOT…
GAMBIT: What's
their next move, Purdey? The breakers men I mean.
PURDEY: I'm
famished.
GAMBIT: They got
nothing out of Turner.
PURDEY: Where are
we going?
GAMBIT: Mind you,
he had nothing to give. It wasn't until afterwards he knew his wife had posted
the package.
PURDEY: Italian
would be nice.
GAMBIT: They
followed me back once to my place.
PURDEY: Milanese,
mmm, yes!
GAMBIT HAS STOPPED
AT A HOT DOG VAN BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD - HE'S PACING, STILL CONCENTRATING ON
THE CASE WHILE PURDEY LEANS AGAINST THE VAN WITH A MUG OF TEA IN ONE HAND AND A
HUGE SANDWICH IN THE OTHER!
PURDEY: Is this one
of your favourite restaurants?
GAMBIT: They could
conceivably be at Steed's now.
PURDEY: I suppose
you bring all your girlfriends here?
GAMBIT: They
would've seen us leave.
PURDEY: (to the vendor) Did he book?
VENDOR: Nah, he's
just lucky.
GAMBIT: Purdey.
PURDEY: (to vendor) Excuse me, I've been noticed.
GAMBIT: We're
leaving.
PURDEY: Oh, too
dressy am I? Or is it because you've forgot your dinner jacket?
AFTER STEED'S CAR
IS PUT OUT OF ACTION AND GAMBIT AND STEED HAVE TO WALK OVER ROLLING HILLS TO
FIND A ROAD. STEED IS STRIDING AHEAD WHILE GAMBIT LAGS BEHIND WITH HIS JACKET
SLUNG OVER HIS SHOULDER.
STEED: Every breath
is a guinea in the bank of health.
GAMBIT: Have you
seen my overdraft?
STEED: (seeing something in front of
them) What
fantastic luck.
GAMBIT: (running to catch him up) You've seen a car?
STEED: Better than
that.
GAMBIT: A mixed
sauna? With a licensed bar?
STEED: (stops and bends down to pick
a flower) A
blue periwinkle.
AFTER CATCHING A
LIFT ON A FERTILIZER TRUCK
GAMBIT: (entering Steed's house) Purdey, it's your lucky day.
I'm not nice to be near at the moment.
