(...sad, and lifted straight from life). I don't use anyone's real name, and I try not to put in too many identifying details. But this is essentially how I saw the whole thing. I can't promise to replicate the conversations exactly, because I don't actually record them - but it's as faithful a recreation as I can manage. :) <br /><br />Alexia - He did have tremendous dignity. I suppose one consolation is that by all accounts he had a busy and fulfilled working life, so if things are tough now, at least he can look back on the good times. <br /><br />Jacks - I think it was a kind of torture for him to find himself in such a passive situation. That's certainly the thing that struck me most about the scene. <br /><br />I wish people were as easy to sort out as telecoms - but then again, what am I saying? As if I have the <i>slightest</i> idea how phones work. It might as well be magic...<br /><br />***<br /><br />Thanks for all your comments!
