a couple of windows and charged me a fiver. Then he told me.

PROSSER: Look, Mr. Dent, the plans have been available in
the planning office for the last nine months!

ARTHUR: Yes, I went round too find them yesterday
afternoon. You hadn't exactly gone out of your way to pull
much attention to them, have you? I mean, like actually
telling anybody or anything.

PROSSER: The plans were on display!

ARTHUR: Ah, how many avarage members of the public are in
the habit of casually dropping around the local planning
office in the evening? It's not exactly a noted social
venue, is it? And even if you had popped in on the off
chance that some raving buereucrat wanted to knock your
house down, the plans weren't immediatly obvious to the
eye, were they?

PROSSER: That depends where you were looking.

ARTHUR: I eventually had to go down to the cellar!

PROSSER: That's the display department.

ARTHUR: With a torch!

PROSSER: The lights had probably gone.

ARTHUR: So had the stairs.

PROSSER: Well, you found the notice, didn't you?

ARTHUR: Yes, it was on display in the bottom of a locked
filing cabinet, stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on
the door saying 'Beware of the leopard'. Ever thought of
going into advertising?

PROSSER: It's not as if it's a particularly nice house
anyway...

ARTHUR: I happen rather to like it!

PROSSER: Mr. Dent!

ARTHUR: Yes, hello.

PROSSER: Have you any idea how much damage that bulldozer
would suffer if I just let it roll straight over you?
