+"All right. Let's start with the bad news: we didn't get the Leeds contract. Now... yes, I //know// we're all disappointed...."
+"Too right we're disappointed. We had a bloody superlative design for that thing. What happened?"
+"What do you //think// happened?"
+"The columns? They didn't like the columns. I //knew// we should have-"
+"//Bristol, Tuck and Bloodworth// is what happened. Snatched the thing right from under our noses, they did."
+"What - //again//?"
+"//Yes//, again. Look, as I was saying: I //know// we're all disappointed...."
+"Seriously, do those people ever //sleep//? That's the last //five// jobs they've gone and nabbed! Much more of this and they'll drive us out of business...."
+"Ah, well... maybe it's time to face facts."
+"Facts?"
+"//Maybe// the world just isn't quite ready for the bold new magical architecture of Penchant, Whinging and Scoop."
+"Yeah, right. We got most of our last design from BTB's New Spa building in Ba-"
+"//Yes, well//... the thing is... there's more than one way to find a niche in the market."
+"What do you mean?"
+"If we want to get ahead, we need to push BTB out of our way. And if we can't do that with superior design sense... well, we //do// have another option."
+"Bears?"
+"//Strategy//. We outsmart them, find the chinks in their armour, hit them in the public relations. You know?"
+"Are you kidding me? //Public relations//? Those people can do //nothing// wrong, apparently - unstable buildings, terrorist attacks, giant swarms of rats - they just seem to brush it all off."
+"All right - their contracts, then. There must be some weakness in their contracts. //Nobody// reads those things all the way through...."
+"//She// does."
+"Who?"
+"Bloody, bloody //Bloodworth//. Reads them from start to finish, they say, with a glass of wine and a cat on her knee, like they're written by bloody Agatha Christie. And if you think we can outsmart her, outrun the business she's running, outdo her at the whole marketing thing, well... maybe //you// should be the magical architect in this company, seeing how good you are at building castles in the air...."
+----
+"//Are we nearly there yet?//"
+"//Nearly//, Becky. Just another little stretch of motorway, and then a quick trip around the ring road."
+"Oh. OK."
+"What's the matter, Becky? Do you need the toilet again?"
+"No. I need //biscuits//."
+"Ah... now listen, sweetie - I don't know if we'll be getting biscuits when we arrive...."
+"Yes, we //will//. Granny Bloodworth //always// makes biscuits."
+"All right...."
+"And then she's going to show me how to knit. I've //decided//."
+"Oh. Er. Good?"
+"And after that, she can tell me my favourite story. The one about how she was trying to sort out some papers but ended up accidentally cutting an enormous flesh monstrosity to pieces with a giant sword in the middle of a volcano...."
+"Um... //Becky//...?"
