THAT'LL TAKE ME BY SURPRISE.

YOU MUST HAVE PRESSED
THE BUTTON THAT SAYS "YES".

- NO, LOOK, LOOK.
- FOUR WORDS.

- AARGH! YOU GET BRUISES, BUT...
- RIGHT.

(GEORDIE ACCENT)
AYE-AYE, MR PARTRIDGE, MORNING.

- WHAT HAVE YOU GOT FOR ME?
- DO YOU WANT THE GOOD NEWS OR THE BAD NEWS?

THEY'RE ALL RUBBISH, SO TAKE YOUR PICK.

TELL YOU WHAT AMUSES ME, MICHAEL,
IS WHEN PEOPLE CRITICISE MY BOOK

THEY'RE LITTLE ONES.

- I DIDN'T REALISE.
- YOU TOOK MY LIP OFF!

OH, GOD!

(SCREECHING)

YOU'LL LOOK STUPID.

UM... I KNOW. THERE'S A COPY OF MY BOOK
BEHIND RECEPTION. CAN YOU SEE IT?

I CAN AFFORD ONE. I'VE GOT A SIX-FIGURE INCOME.

YEAH.

OH, GOD.
