Flossie sighed, 'You know when you've seen something special.'
'A natural performer,' Lefty bleated. 'To be able to say so much and yet it seemed so little.'
'If only we'd actually been filming,' Flossie said.
'Well,' Lefty replied, 'truth be told, we were.'
'Really?' Flossie gasped.
'I thought it best,' Lefty replied. 'In case anyone checked on us.'
'So we can watch it again?'
'Whenever you want.'
'Always be grateful,' Flossie said. 'It's a moment I'll never forget. If you'd told me before all this began that I'd get to see such wonderful acting. It kind of took me off to another world.'
'I know,' Lefty agreed.
And everyone gave Geraldine a very prolonged round of applause.
'Next scene?' Lefty asked.
'Perhaps take a break?' Flossie suggested. 'I think we could all do with 10 minutes.'
'I know the crew would appreciate it,' Lefty replied.
'Great!' Flossie bleated.
So Lefty told everyone to take a short break and arranged for teas and coffees for all.
'Kind of makes me wish we were making the film for real,' Flossie mused after Lefty had returned.
'Well?' Lefty replied.
'No,' Flossie said, 'much as it's a nice idea and all. We came with a ruthless diabolically fiendish plan and a ruthless diabolically fiendish plan is what we'll carry out. At the end of the day we're pirates and you can't deny your heritage.'
And Flossie took a sip of coffee.
'You've put some sugar in?'
'Thought you might need it,' Lefty replied.
