60 Second Interview With No.2

    No.113 “Excuse me Number Two, I know this is a bad time for you. But I’m Number One, one, three, and this is my photographic colleague Number One, One three b. We contribute to The Tally Ho.”
    No.2 “Go away.”
    “I’d say there’s been a bit of a cock-up, wouldn’t you?”
    No.113b “Smile!” {click goes the camera}
    “Smile, this Number Two’s got nothing to smile about. The only silver lining for him, is that it’s not Number Six escaping in that helicopter. Have you a few words to say Number Two?”
    “Didn’t you hear what I said, go away.”
    “Tell me Number Two, is there any truth in the rumour that there was an assassination attempt on Number 2’s life? Oh not yours, the other chap. Where is he by the way?”
    “If you don’t clear off, I’ll have security lock you both up.”
    “Don’t be like that. Where’s Number Six gone?”
    “He can go to hell as far as I’m concerned. I should never have involved him in the first place. I was warned you see.”
    “Warned, warned about what?”
    “That no plan which involved Number Six ever succeeded!”
    “Just a minute, that helicopter’s turning round, it’s coming back to The Village.”
    “It’s doing what?”
    “If that’s your successor about to arrive, it looks like your term in office is going to be one of the shortest, if not the shortest, in Village history!”
    “Smile” {click goes the camera}
