Michael: Im getting there, Im getting there.Simon: No rush. Its been a quiet day. Michael: Wait here, what does this mean? Maureen: Michael-Simon: Which part? Michael: This bit here. Accept full responsibility for the fatal misuse of the handbrake?Simon: Ah. Weve already run a full investigation into the actual cause of the crash and confirmed that had the handbrake not been pulled at that moment -Michael: Im not accepting responsibility for anything of the sort. Simon: You did pull the handbrake?Maureen: Come on, Ive already signed it. Michael: Of course you have! Its not you being asked to take responsibility for the whole thing.Maureen: Ive accepted it on your behalf. Now come on and sign the papers. Youre wasting this poor mans time. Michael: What happens if I do? What are you going to do with those papers?Simon: Absolutely nothing. Theyll just be filed away. Michael: Then you dont need them signed, surely, if theyll never see light again. Simon: Its just part of the check in process, sir. Maureen: Whats the worst that could happen, dear? Michael: No, No. I dont want to take responsibility. Its the responsibility of whoever it is grits the road. Maureen: You cant blame it on the council. Michael: I will blame it on the bloody council! Im not accepting some. karmic repercussions that clearly belong to some office bloke looking to cut some costs. Maureen: Youre certainly not helping your karma right now, are you? Youre making a scene, Michael. And at your age. Whats the worst that could happen, now? Youre already dead. Michael: Yes, Yes, Ive been made aware (A pointed glance at Simon). Here I was thinking death would be a lot more peace and a lot less paperwork. Maureen: And Id quite like to get the singing angels and pearly gates bit sooner rather than later. Michael, its just a bit of paper. Sign the thing and be done with all this. Mr Amos, could you find him that large print version? (Simon rifles through his filing cabinet.)Michael: So tell me this straight. If I sign that paper I will be accepting responsibility for the crash?69'
