What they want
Zbigniew Hartleap wants to be inspected for once
Philomena Drax wants to be claimed
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
I am here to inspect your handrail, madam, though I should confess I have never held one.
Then you are the first man to return to me unclaimed. Sit down; I will find you a label.
Label me gently. I drift half a percent against the steps and it has made me wary of commitment.
Everyone drifts. I once matched four hundred single gloves and not one of them wanted to be the pair.
The challenge
I would ride the down escalator backwards with you, if you asked. Facing the past, as it were.
Ask me at closing. The last ferry leaves in nine minutes and I never make it, on principle.
Then we miss it together. I have never missed anything with company before.
Company is just lost property that has found its own way home.
The decision
I will say the unsayable: I would hold your handrail.
Careful. I might claim you, unreturned, like a coat.
Then claim me, and I will stop inspecting everything else.
Done. Tag attached: one man, slightly drifting, ours.
