Anobella (rummages frantically through handbag): Oh, I … erm …
HH: You forgot.
Anobella: Y-yes …
HH: And your recorder? I mean, you didn't plan to write down my answers in shorthand? Especially as you don't seem to have anything to write on you?
Anobella: A recorder? Oh …!
HH: I see. Anyway … (helpfully) You could ask me something about my new book.
Anobella: Oh, right! … So … There's a new book, then?
HH (rolls eyes): I thought that's why we were here!
Anobella: Oh. Right. Erm …
HH: Just ASK me something! Anything!
