EXT. SOHO - NIGHT SERGEANT (slurs) Me and all sweetie. Been here since the liberation of France. Jack and Elizabeth round a corner, and emerge back by the Green Man. ELIZABETH Jack? Are we lost? He ignores her. Thinks. Jack looks around. JACK You know what we need - JACK - a Piccadilly Commando. Elizabeth’s face is blank. She’s about to speak, when -- Stares at her. JACK You know, a Hyde Park Ranger. JACK A tart. * Elizabeth suppresses a gasp, tries not to look shocked. Jack carries on scanning the streets. INT. LORD STAN’S -- BACK ROOMS - NIGHT Margaret creeps down a flight of stairs. Glances behind. Someone’s following. She presses on, down into the - INT. CELLARS - CONTINUOUS Up ahead VOICES echo, drifting out from behind a half open door. Margaret peeks in, sees - INT. STAN’S DEN - CONTINUOUS 62. A black market treasure trove - booze, fags, furs. And piles of tinned foods.
Behind a desk is ‘Lord’ STAN himself. 50s. A hybrid of Hollywood gangster and English Gent. His girl - PHOEBE - lounges, drunk, on a sofa. Two henchman, ARCHIE and RAYMOND, count up a pile of cash. ARCHIE Three hundred tonight. Seven hundred in total. STAN Not enough. ARCHIE It’s only a dog, Stan. They can’t really want twelve hundred? No one notices Margaret clinging onto the door. STAN Only a dog? She won the derby. She’s royalty. Stan stares at the framed photo on his desk. Himself, with a greyhound and a silver trophy. He glares at Archie. CRASH. STAN This is your bleedin’ fault-- Margaret tumbles into the room. Woozy, she looks around. She keels over. MARGARET I’m interrupting. Awfully sorry, silly me. How do you do? I really ought be at the Ritz. Is it near? INT. STAN’S DEN - MOMENTS LATER Stan crouches beside Margaret. Notes her elegant dress and stunning jewels. Margaret’s eyes flicker open. MARGARET Oh, hello. Evening. STAN 63.
