Vernon:
Good morning. I'm Vernon. I'm Miss Brown's... uh, partner.
Gideon O'Brien:
Gideon O'Brien, landlord. We were just discussing the spectacular level of neglect relating to the 29-foot north-facing garden with lawns and well-stocked borders.
Vernon:
Yeah right. We're just about to get into the garden. That's a major priority. That's top of the list.
Gideon O'Brien:
I'm afraid it's too late for that. I shall have to ask you to vacate by the end of the month.
Vernon:
[to Bella]
We're you expecting Mr. O'Brien this morning?
Bella Brown:
I wasn't.
Vernon:
Right.
[Back to O'Brien]
Vernon:
And you made an appointment?
Gideon O'Brien:
I beg your pardon?
Vernon:
Section 34 of the Property Act. A landlord must give clear warning if he wants to inspect the property.
Gideon O'Brien:
We'll come back later, then.
Vernon:
Can't do later. That's not convenient. A convenient date must be mutually agreed. That's Section 17c.
Gideon O'Brien:
Tomorrow, then.
Vernon:
Tomorrow's no good.
Gideon O'Brien:
Friday?
Vernon:
Friday... No, can't do Friday.
Gideon O'Brien:
Next Monday.
Vernon:
Next Monday's no good.
Gideon O'Brien:
All right, then, when?
Gideon O'Brien:
One calendar month's notice. Section 17c. You'll know that.
Gideon O'Brien:
There will be repercussions, Miss Brown. If this garden's not fixed, you're out on the street. You have exactly one month from today.
