[Telling The Boy the story of "The Continuing Saga of Sod's Law - You Just Can't Win", an idealised but thinly-disguised version of his own life with his wife, "The Princess", who has now left him for a new lover, the owner of the Rover 2000S]
The Boy:
The Princess? Was she there?
Hiller:
Yeah.
The Boy:
The Princess who smoked French cigarettes and was beautiful when she wasn't looking.
Hiller:
We only had one rule. We didn't let anyone in who had a Rover 2000S. 2000 Smegma.
The Boy:
Why?
Hiller:
[bitterly] Because people with Rover 2000 Smegmas live in four-bedroom fake Georgian houses. They marry St Bernard dogs called Darling. And they have nasty little kids in green jumpsuits who come in through the window on a wire and say "Gosh!" and all that sort of thing.
The Boy:
But someone like that, we'd never have let them in. The Princess wouldn't have liked them at all.
Hiller:
No she wouldn't.
[the bank robbers keep deliberately triggering the alarm. Each time, the security guards come out to investigate. By the fourth time, they are very pissed-off]
Young Security Guard:
I think they've got this alarm set up all wrong - it only warns you if the place is empty!
Security Sergeant:
[on radio] Control? Mobile Alpha Charlie. It's official - it's a fuck-up.
[the security sergeant is giving instructions to the young security guard who is watching a bank of CCTV monitors]
Security Sergeant:
That's down in the vaults that leads to the strongroom. Your job is to sit here and watch.
Young Security Guard:
There's nothing to watch.
Security Sergeant:
That's exactly how it should be. So if you see anything out of the ordinary, like people moving about, you come and tell me. All right?
Young Security Guard:
All right, Sarge.
Security Sergeant:
[sarcastically] You should pay particular attention to anyone wearing little black masks over their eyes and with sacks marked "Swag"!复制复制成功复制失败，请手动复制
