Craig} Ok , .
{ Craig’s phone rings} ” Hello .
David} Omg, are you kidding me ?,{Whispers, face palms and leans back}
{ They finally get to the supermarket}
David} We are finally here, that took forever .
Craig} It was only a few minutes .
David} Few minutes ?, felt like an hour .
Craig} That’s only because you were facing people .
David} It might of been fine for you, you had something to do .
Craig} Why are you so awkward on trains, anyway ?.
David} You don’t understand the half of it , first of all, you don’t know because you are not me, secondly , you’d wish that you wasn’t me .
Craig} What did you do the whole time ?.
David} I looked at the ceiling , wishing that I wouldn’t have to be on a trip like this .
Craig} Yeah, but you’ll look like a freak, you looked like you were turning up to your death , is it really that bad ?.
David} Yes it is Craig, yes it is , yes it is .
Craig} Ok, stop saying ” yes it is ” .
David} I can say what I want .

Collin} ” What do you want from us ?”, I’m calling you to ask you if you found the thief yet ?.
David} No, the answer is no, we haven’t found him yet, how are we supposed to find the thief in this place ?.
Collin} Well , you can make a bloody effort by searching for him .
David} I’m not bloody doing that , you can .
Collin} I am not, I can’t, I’m far away from the supermarket , I can’t fly .
Craig} Do you actually know on who he or she looks like ?.
Collin} No, that’s not my problem .
David} Of course it is, you are supposed to warn us, you are the one who gets the details , not us , if the shit hits the fan, I’ll be laughing, mate .
Craig} And, I’ll be there when it does .
{ Puts the phone down}

Craig} It’s not that bad .
David} Yes it is, you are dancing on a gravy train , of course it’s bad , it’s not going on my CV .
Craig} Ok .
David} Who does Collin think we are ?, he thinks we can dance to the sound of his own flute of nonsense .
Craig} How dare he dig us in the ground ?.
David} Yeah, then he digs his in deeper .
Craig} I even wonder if this is a serious crime .
