:45:01
subjecting them to actual physical violence.
:45:06
Shut up. It wasn't a bit like that.
:45:09
In the first place, I certainly wasn't drunk.
:45:12
I saw this taxi draw up at a traffic light.
So, naturally, I got in.
:45:16
And there were these two black things
screaming blue murder.
:45:20
Why didn't you immediately get out again?
:45:23
I would have, but the taxi started off.
:45:25
Anyway, I'd had a very nasty shock myself...
:45:28
what with their screaming
and flapping about.
:45:31
I thought they were bats. Vampire bats.
:45:35
It was they who attacked me.
I can remember now...
:45:37
getting all entangled in their skirts
and petticoats and things.
:45:41
If the taxi driver hadn't pulled me free...
:45:44
they might have done me a serious injury.
:45:47
A deplorable anecdote.
:45:49
According to the Mother Superior...
:45:51
one of the nuns required medical treatment
for shock.
:45:55
She appears to have thought it
some kind of diabolical visitation.
:45:59
George, how could you?
:46:01
Don't you start on me.
It was all a ghastly mistake.
:46:05
No doubt, but it will take some explaining.
:46:08
Fancy reporting it
to the Director of Religious Broadcasting.
:46:12
What a nasty thing for a holy woman to do.
:46:16
The Mother Superior is responsible
for the nuns in her charge.
:46:20
Then she should jolly well make sure
they know how to behave in public.
:46:24
I got the fright of my life in there.
:46:27
They were like mice. Albino mice.
:46:30
With tiny little white faces
and weeny little red eyes, and...
:46:35
They were vicious.
:46:37
They scratched and bit.
I still have the tooth marks. Look. There.
:46:42
I've a jolly good mind to put in
a counter-complaint to the Mother Superior.
:46:47
They deserve to be scourged in their cells.
:46:52
I can hardly put through a report
to the controller...
:46:54
informing him of your allegation
that you were bitten...
:46:57
by two nuns.
:46:58
Why not?
For all we know they might have had rabies.
