A Conversation for The Car Park Adjacent to The Collapsed Ruins of the Strand Underpass

I don't have a little red car to hand, but I'm the proud possesor of a 1970 Morris Minor called Jemima and a 1961 Hillman Minx called Violet. I'd certainly appreciate somewhere I could park them up safely - although they're both in regular use I can only drive one at a time!

*ambles in from a short(?) fag break. (
That's a Cigarette to you Yanks!)*
Right sir.
Would that be long stay or short? I think there is a space over there near that precarious building.

Not too precarious I hope! Short stay will do in the summer, I like to drive 'em - but long stay for the winter for Violet would be favourite. She's just been on the TV tonight - Film Four showed Backbeat, a movie about Stuart Sutcliffe (the 'fifth Beatle'). It's a good movie if you haven't seen it. Violet has a bit part in it - John Lennon and Paul McCartney are pictured leaning on her bonnet having a chat before boarding the ferry to Hamburg. My claim to fame - I got £85 for that!

"...any film you wan"???
Looks like I'm turning Japanese. (I really think so!)
...dadadada da, da, da.

Well, in that case some Japanese cinema would seem to be in order. How about, 'The Seven Samurai?' It's a classic, it's black and white, it's subtitled and it's three and three quarter hours long. That should keep me busy...

Ah, a classic indeed.
Is there a general valeting service here then? Sorry, mine's not red either, but as I recall green is complementary to red on that wheel thingy we did for art o'level...but it is in need of a damn good clean.

That's 
any colour will do. Mine is generally various shades of muck - living in a rural locale as we do!
Check out the movie theatre while you are here, or the burger bar, 5* restaurant, massage parlour. In fact just about anything you can imagine.

Ooh I'll have a massage, I like a bit of Aromatherapy! Hope it's not one of those dodgy places...
My car sits under a tree most of the time and these charming little insects drop ickiness onto it, which then sucks up every scrap of dirt in the neighbourhood and attaches it more or less permanently to the paintwork. So I need a valeting service run by Arnold Schwarzeneger or someone else with much muscle for scrubbing.

Would you like Arnie to massage you or just wash the car?
*aside - shouting* Arnie...ARNIE! - researcher over here wants the Works.
He'll be over shortly.

Actually Arnie's not really my type - I'll have a Keanu Reeves to take away please...

*appears, Matrix style*
It's his day off today. But if you can wait...

Ohh I'll wait. And I'll hold his coat while he cleans the car and gets his t-shirt wet...
