Okay.

I don't want to know.  But . . . okay.

We meet Sunday evening to hand over payment and set job for Monday
afternoon.  You set up a special showing of "Ben Hur" on the wide screen at
a theatre near the Cousins HQ and get them invited gratis.  You write the
post.

Is that okay?

Trust me, you definitely DON'T want to know.

I can do that.  Will cost you ten pounds of chocolates and 10 Slim Whitman
cassettes.  Free popcorn and soda during the movie will cost you another
pound of chocolate.  And none of that coffee-flavored junk.  Perugina is
acceptable or Bacci if necessary.

We can get you Perugina and will shoot for the extra pound for
refreshments.  We want them kept there.

You need to contact LTSCRUFFY (Cousin Loop Leader) and ask who's going to
be there.  Just get all of the Cousins out of the building.

Okay.  I'll have the contract drawn up at Merc central.  You've got
yourself a diversion for Monday afternoon.  Will contact LT and start
putting together the post.

The DPs have purchased the services of a Merc and now have a diversion and
diversion post put together.  Now it's time to sit down and decide who's
going to write what and be in what.
