Ever been in Wooloomooloo?
Hey! .....
You! I was talking to you.
Me?
You. Don't I know you?
Don't think so.
Ever been in Wooloomooloo?Maybe, not sure. Don't recall ever having been there. Not my neck of the woods.
I knew it. It was you. You do remember, don't you.
Remember what?
I'm sorry. What is it I'm supposed to remember?
You know perfectly well.
This is a strange conversation. A perfect stranger telling me I should recall something that happened in a place I've never been.
Look, I know you. You talk the talk, you walk the walk. You are Papandreou.
Sorry. My name's O'Reilly.
Close enough. Now look, I know most of what happened. But I want to know all the details. You tell me everything, and you walk out of here scot-free tonight.
I wish I could help you. But I'm just not him.
There you go again. As always dodging the issue. Pretending you were someone else. I never understood why you always had to see life as scenes in an absurd theater.
And I don't see why you have to turn this into a... a scene out of Pinter. You do this with everyone you meet?
