Peter Jones: “It’s become quite tactical, like a game of poker. For example, when Theo plays with his money you know he’s thinking about putting it in.”
hahhahhahaa! Theo (the 'stationery magnate' - that made me LOL) Pahphitis has a tell. And Peter knows his tell. Heheheehee. And then Theo (who I keep wanting to call Feo, because that's how almost everyone on the show pronounces it) says that they ALL fiddle with their money. Yeah, can't keep their hands off it.
How cross would Theo be if people started calling him Teddy, do you think?
This is the second time in a week I've seen Peter Jones's name written out, imagined the guy who played the Book in the Hitchhiker's Guide radio and TV series, and been confused at his sudden lack of being dead.
Ooooh, you've just created a little bunny in my head...
I'll share the line that jumped to life, in case I don't get time to feed it and you fancy having a pop...
"You've got no piles of money to play with now, Pathetis..."
Oh, and also - there's got to be a whole fic in that quote, surely? I mean, the fact that he knows Theo does that means he's spent a whole load of time watching him... possibly instead of the pitches, no? *whistles*
BTW: Love how quickly this has taken off - I mean you've got two whole DD icons going on now! lol.
