Brunswick.

Did you eat all the bacon?

[He's noticed other folks. Here comes cagy Eddie. There is no bacon-shortage, he just wants to talk to her.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

At least he's not really here. I just don't understand how he found you.

When you work a full day, Red, you can start it off with all the bacon you want. Until then, you can do without.

I don't either. I'll have to be more cautious.

I wasn't objecting to you getting the bacon. I just expected it to happen.

We both will. We can't risk the Council or National Colour finding us here.

Well, don't. I didn't even have breakfast this morning.

We certainly can't. It'll be alright.

Didn't you? Did you sleep in? Oooh.

Are you sure about that?

I did. Are you going to get me in trouble?

No, but I'll do what I can.

I could demerit you. Tut tut tut.

I don't think I'll bother.

If they find out that we're together here, someone will put pieces together.

Have you learned anything more today? Were there still spoons?

If you do, I'll find something better than a shoe to throw at you. I'm glad that you changed your mind.

There were still spoons.

Otherwise, I was little occupied by the Colourman, Jane. Sorry.

[pause]

Oh! Wait a moment. There's a man with paints here. He was offering to teach painting. They could be Univisual.

I didn't change my mind, Jane. I wasn't going to do it in the first place. Besides, you've got nothing to get up for now.

The man with paints. You mean...for the mural? Wonderful!

It wasn't as fun as I thought it would be.

I know! I'm going to take him up on his offer of painting lessons and get some.

Wasn't it? I'd have thought extra sleep'd be great.

I want to, as well. It will be better with both of us.

No. It was dull. There was nothing to do.

It's always better for both of us.

Was there anything to do once you got up?

It is. Because you can't do anything on your own.

Of course. Clean. Rewrite your list. Explore the library. Watch you talk to the Colourman.

Working better with other people isn't a bad thing, you know?

You re-wrote my list? What's wrong with it?

It can be a weakness.

You left certain things off. I might as well keep adding to it.

But isn't always.

What have you added? It was a work in progress.

You are such an idiot. Why do you have to argue everything I tell you?

About the "comas" and how some...most...people have odd last names. And this way, you have a copy, too.

Because you're not always right, Jane.

I'll add about the paints. I'm talking to Mr Holmes about them now.

I never claimed to have all the answers. But between the two of us? Who was right most of the time?

If they are univisual, though, I don't have any more reason to be here.

It's not a competition.

Me neither. I'm going to have a look, he says they've done paintings.

It's not about competition. It's about risk.

You, either. ....what do you mean?

We all run the risk of being wrong.

...I looked at the paintings. It's not Univisual paint.

And... I asked for the paints for the mural. Why, did you ask for the same? No... that's not good.

Eddie, we've been tricked!

...We have.

Plums.

Wait, wait. Let me see if he lets me change. I've got something else to ask for. Just to show the Colourman.

Change it? To what?
