perhaps the machine's on the blink! it keeps picking up old films. that can't he right, can it?
oh my god, a mistake!
isn't it? whose is it?
oh, good!
what a relief! i don't know what i'd do if you ever got promoted.
but if they did promote you
would you really, sam?
you've been promoted.
it's your mother isn't it? pulling strings again.
mr lowry! would you step in here a moment please.
thank god you're here! we're in terrible trouble! look at this! look at this!
the refund for tuttle!
i mean, buttle! it's been confusion from the word go! he's been wrongly charged for electromemorytherapy and someone somewhere is trying to make us carry the can!
we've got to get rid of it! there's been a balls-up somewhere, and when the music stops they'll jump on whoever's holding the cheque!
i've tried that! population census have got him down as dormanted, the central collective storehouse computer has got him down as deleted, and the information retrieval have got him down as inoperative .  security has him down as excised., admin have him down as completed
dead! oh no! that's terrible! we'll never get rid of the damned thing! what are we going to do?
next of kin!

please don't come back! please don't come back!
well, that's it! i may as well go and hang myself! this sort of thing couldn't have happened before the stupid seventh tier reorganization! that was simmons doing! and he and jeffries always sit together at lunch! the bastards! ow! perhaps we can lose it .  behind the filing cabinet .  or destroy it .  burn it .  eat it .
what?
that's brilliant!
here. what do i do next?
of course, of course. leave it to me. how do i authorize a cheque?
oh god! i think i've broken a bone. what a pathetic thing i am.
you are good to me sam.
oh .  sam. i've had the transport pool onto me .  you don't know anything about a personnel transporter gone missing do you?
is it all right about mrs buttle's cheque?
can i forget it?
what a relief! i shall probably have nightmares.
what's the matter?
all information on 3rd level suspects is classified.
all enquiries to information retrieval. which is hopeless, of course. they never tell you anything. but come the time they want something from us .
yes. no! you can't! you've only just turned it down!
i did it for you.
it's what you wanted isn't it?
come on, before they turn the lights out.
