[0049] And what of it?

[0051] It's too much for one man. ^{X L to DL.} [0052] (pause. [0053] Cheerfully)
[0054] On the other hand what's the good of losing heart
now, that's how I look at it ^{WHAT I SAY}. [0055] We should have
thought of it when the world was young, in the
nineties.

[0056] Ah stop talking ^BLATHERING [0057] and help me off with this bloody
thing.

[0058] Hand in hand from the top of the Eiffel Tower,
among the first. [0059] We were respectable in those days.

[0068] (Feebly) [0069] Help me!

[0078] It hurts you?

[0079] Hurts me! [0080] He wants to know if it hurts me!

[0081] (Pointing) [0082] You might button it all the same.

[0083] (Stooping) [0084] True. [0085] (he buttons his fly) [0086] Never
neglect the little things of life.

[0087] What do you expect, you always wait till the last
moment.

[0088] (Musingly) [0089] The last moment... [0090] (he meditates) [0091] Hope

[0093] Will ^{WHY DON'T} you not help me?

[0094] Sometimes I feel it coming all the same. [0095] Then I
