St: Hi BB. You been there long?
BB: You don't seem yourself at the moment?
St: Say more.
(Beat)
Sorry. Silly of me. Well to tell the truth I am a bit drained.
BB: Don't you normally tell the truth?
St: It's just an expression.
BB: Unlike you to waste words.
St: True. I've not been myself recently. Damn.
BB: Damn?
St: Yeah. You're always convincing me you're not going to pull the football away and then you do.
BB: Sorry Charlie.
St: Think that reference will be lost on most of my readers?
BB: I think it will be lost on both of them.
St: Good put down.
BB: So, you let me make you own up. Like you always do. What's the problem?
St: I'm not really sure. Good things are happening but more of them will happen if I do more. But I am struggling to do more because if I do more I leave myself drained by too much inter-action.
BB: So don't do more.
St: You make it sound so easy. Don't you have a conscience?
(Beat)
I know. I know.
BB: You need to eat a slug.
St: That is the best advice you've ever given me. I do. Tomorrow I will dice 'more' up very thinly and eat a small slice of it. Thanks.
BB: Usual fee?
St: How much do I owe you?
BB: Everything.
Big Blogger is a figment of St's imagination who turns up and gives him a helpful grilling every now and again.
BB: Who are you calling a figment?
