I was not retired. I chose to move into an alternative field after a long and fulfilling political career.

*Slams paper down*

Good Lord, Peter, I didn't mean take him to see... well, that! I meant afterwards, when you're no longer murderously angry.

*Goes back to reading the paper and drinking tea*

The sooner you get it out of your system, the better.

Once, John. Once!

...and why have you been keeping tabs on my garment choices, anyway?

I haven't, Freddie has. Whenever we take him clothes shopping he tries to find 'Uncle Peter clothes'. We have to have the 'suits are not appropriate football kit' conversation more often than I care to admit.

*stares into tea again*

*suddenly shoves it aside onto the table and stands*

This has all been very enervating, but I have business to attend to. I am sure you know the way out.

Peter?

*Watches him go and then, after putting tea and newspaper down, follows to door*

Peter, you aren't going to do anything rash, are you?

*a voice emerges, winding up the stairwell from the cellar*

John, I never do anything rash. Now be a good boy and toddle off.

*Follows downstairs and leans against the nearest wall*

I was planning to take the boys to the match against Sunderland tomorrow so I hope whatever it is you're planning will not require a cover up operation in the near future.

...of course not.

*returns to chopping a somewhat furry root*

Go home, John.

I don't think that would be a good idea. What are you planning, Peter?

You enquiry assumes that I am planning something. Some of us see brewing as more than just a means to an end.

*Watches Peter fetch more ingredients*

It's a fair enough assumption given the current circumstances. As much as I - similar to most politicians - enjoy listening to my own voice, I would appreciate an answer. What are you planning, Peter?

Really, John. That tone may gain some traction in the House, but it has no place here.

I wouldn't need to attempt that tone if you would simply share your intention.

I wouldn't need to press the point if you would just tell me what it is you are planning to do.

Rather arrogant to assume you have a right to know, isn't it?

*stirs the cauldron again*

I have already told you that it is none of your affair.

We're politicians, Peter; arrogance is a given.

How am I to know that I do not need to know what you're doing unless I know what it is and deem it so that I do not need to know?

Speak for yourself.

Whilst your mastery of the script of Yes Minister is impressive, I am given to understand that the show is due to close soon and that they will not require any more actors to step into the role of Sir Humphrey.

John, you are not James Bond, and it is absurd to pretend otherwise.

All I want to know is that you're planning to do - tell me that and I shan't bother you any longer.
