Could have planted a
few trees.
A: And what would you have done then?
V: (Thrown a little bit) I would have perhaps - gone or appreciated it but I cannot
appreciate this, (shouted) never will- never will. So don't expect madam that I
shall. I am NOT unreasonable. It was expected of me to do something, and
now I am telling you, I expect a little bit - of - appreciation. Smartness - at least,
keep the filth down, and be happy (then he shouted) who's happy in this place?"
A: You're not are you?
V: I'm not. It is like a counting house - people coming in with long faces - no
enjoyment anymore. Creative workshop. Is that what you call it? Look at it, look
at it. What's creative about it? - No. People will have to change, and until they do -
I shall stay here. Understand me? Understand me?
A: I think we all do
V: (shouted very sarcastically) Jolly good - then I hope you'll do something
about it - then I shall be happy - and you won't hear a thing from me - but - unless
someone does something constructive and helpful - no - I'm not going to be
reasonable. Good day madam.
A: Good day.
V: Now I hope you'll do something about it - look at it - I do hope you will do
something about it, (very quietly)
Then Alan’s gate-keeper, Lomond came along to tell us that they were helping
Stanley. He also said that the Danse-de-Luxe had been quite a place in its time,
with all manner of things going on – a private gaming club being one. He also
told how one man had hung himself in a small room at the top of the building
and also that Stanley used to have a dog of which he was very fond. It seems
that when the dog died it was buried in the garden – about four feet down.
The building was built on a piece of open land, a field, and that Stanley had a
small house there too.
