Peter Carter:
You've got good news for me, my friend.
Conductor 71:
How did you guess?
Peter Carter:
Well, you wouldn't try to entice me with this Philimor...
Conductor 71:
Philidor!
Peter Carter:
Philidor... if you had the right to conduct me anyway.
Conductor 71:
True.
Peter Carter:
Well?
Conductor 71:
Speaking officially, I have good news for you.
Peter Carter:
Good.
Conductor 71:
You are to be allowed to appeal to the High Court.
Peter Carter:
Splendid!
Conductor 71:
The trial will be a full dress affair. Très chic!... in three days, to give you time to prepare your case.
Peter Carter:
Better and better!
Conductor 71:
Hmm... do not be too pleased.
Peter Carter:
Why? Is there a catch?
Conductor 71:
The prosecuting counsel. Of course, I am not permitted to offer advice or give a personal opinion but... phhht!
Peter Carter:
Well, who is this prosecuting counsel?
Conductor 71:
Be prepared!
Peter Carter:
For what?
Conductor 71:
A shock!
Peter Carter:
Well, come on, tell me the worst. Who is it?
Conductor 71:
Abraham Farlan!
Peter Carter:
Come again?
Conductor 71:
Abraham Farlan!
[With less of his French accent]
Peter Carter:
Well, I never heard of him!
Conductor 71:
No?
Peter Carter:
Never in my life!
Conductor 71:
He lives in Boston!
Peter Carter:
I've never been in Boston!
Conductor 71:
Massachusetts!
Peter Carter:
I've never been there!
Conductor 71:
Abraham Farlan died in Boston in 1775. Does that date convey anything to you?
Peter Carter:
Lexington? Concord?
Conductor 71:
Exactly! You are good at history. The American War of Independence.
Peter Carter:
Oh, he was killed?
Conductor 71:
By a British bullet!
Peter Carter:
Oh, he might be, ah, prejudiced!
Conductor 71:
Hmm, he hates your guts! And he hates the guts of every Englishman! And, particularly, he hates this little affair with a Boston-born girl!
Peter Carter:
[Offended]
It's not a little affair!
Conductor 71:
Oh! A BIG affair he will hate even more!
