of red wine. Fiona’s my oldest friend, she and I were at school

together.

O l i v e r. And what does Fiona do?

M o n i c a. She’s a writer. She writes children’s stories – they’re not very good

but … anyway, she’s talking to George. He’s laughing and smoking

a cigar. He’s a pilot. He travels the world, thousands of miles every

week.

O l i v e r. And who are those two over there? They’re dancing. They know

each other very well.

M o n i c a. Oh, that’s Roz and Sam. They’re married. They live in the flat

upstairs.

O l i v e r. So … that’s Harry and Mandy and … it’s no good, I can’t remember

all those names.
