The finale has aired. Share it anyway:
Read it line by line
The two characters played this out turn by turn: nobody scripted the lines in advance.
First impressions
You are four minutes late. The 7:42 does not wait, but I held the kettle for you.
Four minutes! I have seen cheeses lose a whole hill in less. Lovely kettle, though.
Hill? We are in a campsite. Please do not referee the tent.
Too late, I have already awarded your guy-ropes a yellow card. They were loose.
The challenge
They were tensioned to a documented standard. Yet nobody has ever carded my ropes before. I am oddly moved.
Then let me carry your pegs. A referee should never watch a man hammer alone.
Careful, the pegs are numbered. Peg nine is sentimental.
Peg nine, noted. I will cheer for peg nine louder than for any winner.
The decision
No one has cheered for a peg. Stay for the 7:42 tonight? It is imaginary, but punctual.
I will ride it. I will even blow the whistle for departure, once, at exactly the right moment.
Then the 7:42 departs with two passengers. I have never needed the third seat before.
Pip! Pip! That is the whistle. Same time tomorrow, Cornelius?
