00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,Oh, right on time.
What'll you have to drink?

00:02:20,807 --> 00:02:23,- Tomato juice, please.
- You're looking very well, Charlie.

00:02:23,644 --> 00:02:25,You look younger now
than when we first met.

00:02:25,354 --> 00:02:27,- He's putting weight on.
- Looks good on him.

00:02:27,814 --> 00:02:30,I've removed a lot of weight lately.

00:02:30,108 --> 00:02:33,While I remember, Charlie, there's
those tickets for tomorrow's game.

00:02:33,570 --> 00:02:35,Oh, thanks.

00:02:37,032 --> 00:02:39,- What's special today?
- Roast beef, sir.

00:02:40,911 --> 00:02:42,Well, what about that?
Shall we say three?

00:02:42,579 --> 00:02:43,- I think so.
- Charlie?

00:02:43,622 --> 00:02:44,- Yeah, sure.
- Another drink for you?

00:02:44,790 --> 00:02:46,- Three roast beef.
- Anything to begin with, sir?

00:02:47,042 --> 00:02:48,- Charlie?
- No, just the beef.

00:02:48,627 --> 00:02:50,Artichoke. Are you having
another drink before we go in?

00:02:50,754 --> 00:02:52,Just a dry sherry. Thank you.

00:02:52,422 --> 00:02:54,Well, that's an artichoke,
half a lobster for me,

00:02:54,716 --> 00:02:57,nothing for Mr Bubbles and three
roast beefs. Medium rare for all.

00:02:57,135 --> 00:02:59,A large dry sherry
and another vodka and tonic for me.

00:02:59,805 --> 00:03:01,Roast potatoes,
boiled potatoes, vegetables?

00:03:02,265 --> 00:03:04,Yes, and a green salad.

00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,Under Section 73,
all profits up to 60%

00:03:09,773 --> 00:03:12,not declared as a dividend
after the 40% corporation tax

00:03:12,859 --> 00:03:15,are taxable as super tax unless
the monies are shown to be committed.

00:03:15,737 --> 00:03:17,Now, let me explain that more fully.

00:03:17,948 --> 00:03:21,Before April the 6th, 1966,
this was covered by Section 245,

00:03:21,576 --> 00:03:24,under which the company did
not have to declare a dividend,

00:03:24,371 --> 00:03:26,which meant the profits
could be left in the company,

00:03:26,248 --> 00:03:28,and the shareholders are not
burdened with the dividend.

00:03:28,125 --> 00:03:30,But now under Section 73,
we must eliminate the profits

00:03:30,836 --> 00:03:34,by reinvesting company monies in enterprises
for which the company was formed,

00:03:34,464 --> 00:03:36,according to the company articles,

00:03:36,466 --> 00:03:39,i.e., we must commit the company
money in some kind of production.

00:03:39,219 --> 00:03:41,You see, really it's a question
of these monies being committed

00:03:41,513 --> 00:03:43,on paper by the end of the year.

00:03:43,473 --> 00:03:45,For instance, if there's a book
that you're interested in buying

00:03:45,684 --> 00:03:47,with a view to turning it
into a film,

00:03:47,436 --> 00:03:50,some of the profits are paid in
escrow to the people concerned,

00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,i.e., you could place so many
thousand pounds with a writer's agent

00:03:54,192 --> 00:03:58,as a sign of your interest and good faith
and seriousness as far as the project goes.

00:03:58,530 --> 00:04:03,Well, if that transfer of the monies is
off the books and into the bank, fine.

00:04:03,618 --> 00:04:05,That means that we're in business.

00:04:05,579 --> 00:04:07,We must have a movement
of the money off the books.

00:04:10,250 --> 00:04:12,I've been thinking about
the alimony I pay Lottie.

00:04:12,294 --> 00:04:14,Do you think that
it ought to be increased?

00:04:14,504 --> 00:04:16,She receives
a very generous allowance.

00:04:16,214 --> 00:04:20,I know, but the sum was fixed a few years ago
when I wasn't earning as much as I ** now.

00:04:20,969 --> 00:04:24,You did buy the house. Your son's well
provided for in all eventualities.

00:04:24,598 --> 00:04:26,It's entirely up to you.

00:04:26,141 --> 00:04:29,We can discuss it any time you like.
Just ring the office and fix a date.

00:04:29,227 --> 00:04:31,After all, it's your money, Charlie.

00:04:31,813 --> 00:04:33,How's that new stockbroker I found?

00:04:33,607 --> 00:04:36,He's very good. As you know,
I wasn't too happy about using him.

00:04:36,985 --> 00:04:39,I preferred my own man.
This one's excellent. Extremely capable.

00:04:39,905 --> 00:04:41,At the moment,
it's all short-term investments.

00:04:42,073 --> 00:04:45,Long-term investments are too
unpredictable at the moment.

00:04:45,619 --> 00:04:46,That's good.

00:04:46,495 --> 00:04:49,Now, there's an alternative to
the scheme we've just discussed.

00:04:49,539 --> 00:04:51,It's a question of living abroad.

00:04:51,666 --> 00:04:57,Yes. Couldn't I send the money or
the company out of the country?

00:04:57,756 --> 00:04:59,I mean, must I go away with it?

00:04:59,132 --> 00:05:01,Ah, well, you see, that's
covered under Section 412,

00:05:01,468 --> 00:05:02,which carries a penal clause
to stop the

00:05:03,011 --> 00:05:05,transferring abroad of shares by
an individual in this country.

00:05:05,555 --> 00:05:07,It carries fines of up to �10,000.

00:05:07,766 --> 00:05:10,So it's really, therefore, a matter of
your taking up residence abroad for a year.

00:05:10,727 --> 00:05:12,Which means you'd have
to leave by the end of March

00:05:12,938 --> 00:05:15,and return not earlier than
April the 10th the following year.

00:05:17,025 --> 00:05:18,I see.

00:05:18,527 --> 00:05:21,We had an interesting idea put up to
us this morning about the last film.

00:05:21,738 --> 00:05:24,You know that Charlie never
wanted to write a screenplay of it

00:05:24,866 --> 00:05:28,because he felt that the whole
conception of it was too literary.

00:05:28,620 --> 00:05:29,Yes.

00:05:29,496 --> 00:05:34,Well, this seems to be a way of
interpreting the novel filmically

00:05:34,543 --> 00:05:37,and retaining the complexity of
something written in the first person.

00:05:37,796 --> 00:05:40,The idea is that instead of
turning it into a feature film,

00:05:40,757 --> 00:05:43,we might be interested in turning
it into a series for television.

00:05:43,677 --> 00:05:45,We certainly need some
good stuff on television.

00:05:45,428 --> 00:05:47,Financially, it could be very useful.

00:05:47,597 --> 00:05:49,Well, there's no harm
in making a pile of money.

00:05:49,891 --> 00:05:52,And these people have been
really creative in the past.

00:05:52,894 --> 00:05:56,I've known people who've suffered
from the common wart all their lives.

00:05:56,523 --> 00:05:58,They've tried all ways
to get rid of 'em.

00:05:58,775 --> 00:06:03,They rub the affected part
with castor oil, rusty water,

00:06:03,321 --> 00:06:07,raw potatoes, juice of a dandelion,
spit, head of a live match.

00:06:07,909 --> 00:06:11,He could lease them for eighteen, and
he'd still have his residuals, of course.

00:06:11,705 --> 00:06:14,Which means, Charlie, that it might
be possible to work out an arrangement

00:06:14,833 --> 00:06:18,whereby the tapes could be leased
on a one or two showing basis,

00:06:18,628 --> 00:06:20,you still retaining ownership.

00:06:20,171 --> 00:06:23,There's also a cure which
consists of rubbing a wart with raw meat

00:06:23,300 --> 00:06:25,and burying the meat in the garden,

00:06:25,385 --> 00:06:27,based on the belief, presumably,

00:06:27,345 --> 00:06:31,that the virus can be supernaturally
transferred to alien flesh.

00:06:31,516 --> 00:06:33,In fact, you'd show
the tapes once to get your money back,

00:06:33,810 --> 00:06:37,and then the residuals could be
lease fees for any number of times reuse.

00:06:37,230 --> 00:06:38,Sounds very sensible.

00:06:38,398 --> 00:06:41,Wise hands
enchasten here these warts,

00:06:41,568 --> 00:06:45,which we to others
from ourselves sell.

00:06:47,282 --> 00:06:49,Charlie. How are ya?
Nice to see ya.

00:06:49,868 --> 00:06:52,Meet me solicitor. He suffers from
persistent warts. Look at 'em.

00:06:53,121 --> 00:06:55,Mr Bigwood, Charlie Bubbles.
Charlie's a writer.

00:06:55,957 --> 00:06:58,Yes, I know. And a very
good writer too, if I may say so.

00:06:59,002 --> 00:07:02,- I've read most of your books, Mr Bubbles.
- Have you read any of mine?

00:07:03,006 --> 00:07:05,Do you like this place?
I suppose you come here a lot.

00:07:05,717 --> 00:07:08,This is my second visit. I'm not
what you'd call a regular customer.

00:07:08,803 --> 00:07:11,A bit dull at these prices,
don't you think?

00:07:11,598 --> 00:07:14,I arrived tieless. They forced me
to wear this filthy object.

00:07:14,976 --> 00:07:16,Here, can you join us for a drink?

00:07:16,937 --> 00:07:19,Or do you have to get back
to your business associates?

00:07:19,564 --> 00:07:21,I see they're really getting
down to it, aren't they?

00:07:21,858 --> 00:07:23,They're discussing my residuals....
