[Panel 1]
[Nils]
So there I was at Paris-Nord,
without even a set of clean underwear
to my name, and have you TRIED to
get decent street food round there?
Pay through the nose for some
soup that was waved under a
lobster once, more like it.
[Ginny]
There used to be a nice little
bistro on the Quai de Valmy...
[Nils]
Pity you couldn't have
told me about it, then.
You weren't there when I needed
you any more than Jaakko was.
[Panel 2]
[Jaakko]
I can't be everywhere, and
I don't WANT to be on a
railway station in Paris.
There is nothing to
do to pass the time.
[Nils]
Too right. Once the laptop ran down
I was reduced to counting policemen.
I'd got to six different sorts by
the time anyone admitted there
might after all be a train one day.
The Police Nationale and Mobile
Gendarmerie were reasonably obvious...
[Panel 3]
[Nils]
...but eventually I got down to
some paramilitaries with FAMAS they
didn't know how to hold, and some
dodgy-looking guys and girls with
pointy little knives and ratty
fabric armbands saying "securite".
I'm fairly sure those were SUPPOSED
to be on the side of the angels.
[Jaakko]
Ah, well, you see, when everyone in
Paris is a policeman there will be
no more room for the criminals.
[Panel 4]
[Ginny]
When that happens, he'll be
arrested for anti-crime.
[Jaakko]
For sitting not doing anything?
[Ginny]
For Conspiring to Observe the Law.
[Jaakko]
Even with all the new laws
in England he could not
conspire all on his own.
[Nils]
Yes we could, you know. All
of me agree about things.
Most of the time anyway.
