That is the originof the name of the department, in fact.INTERVIEWER: Foreign and political questions, thatsinteresting. That means that you see both foreigners andpolitics as a danger to our way of life, does it?HARRY: Listen young lady, you just keep to the questionson your list, OK?INTERVIEWER: But this an interview! Its supposed todevelop as it goes along.HARRY: Young lady, youve got ten questions you areallowed to ask, and thats that.DIRECTOR: Do what the man says, Mary, for pitys sake.As you were: next question. Quiet, everyone! In five: five,four, three, two.INTERVIEWER: Well, lets talk a bit about your career inthe police. How long have you been a policeman, MrCarter?HARRY: It must be almost 21 years. Thats right. I becamea policeman at the age of 18, immediately after leavingschool.INTERVIEWER: Well, well, well. Tell me, Mr Carter,what made you choose the police, rather than anotherprofession?HARRY: Well I think, basically, it was the place where Igrew up, which was Kixton, a very poor part of EastWashdon. Growing up in Kixton, as I did, I saw a lot ofyoung people get into trouble for stealing cars, stealingthings from shops, things like that. And I felt I wanted to dosomething to stop it all.INTERVIEWER: What sort of thing did you want to do?HARRY: Obviously, to teach them a lesson they wouldntforget, to show them whats what.INTERVIEWER: To arrest them, maybe? To put them inprison, perhaps; sometimes for years and years?HARRY: Perhaps, yes. What are you trying to say? Look, ifyoure suggesting INTERVIEWER: Now, lets move on to your best-knowncase: the Trinidad drugs case, that is, of course, of fouryears ago, with that strange Swedish businessman, HugoPeters, and that airline pilot: what was he called?HARRY: Roger Temple. Yes, that was one of my bettermoments.INTERVIEWER: But you never actually arrested any ofthem, did you?HARRY: I didnt get a chance to, did I? Look youre doingit again!DIRECTOR: Darn it! Cut!HARRY: I told you to keep strictly to the questions on thatlist!INTERVIEWER: I dont have to take orders from you, MrCarter. Im not one of your officers!HARRY: I see! OK then, theres no interview! Everybodyout of my office, please. Im not going to put up with this!DIRECTOR: Please Mr Carter, you cant let 12 millionpeople miss the chance to hear your ideas and see you intheir living-rooms.HARRY: Did you say 12 million?DIRECTOR: Thats right.HARRY: I didnt realize this program was so popular. Verywell, Ill give you one more chance.DIRECTOR: Thank you. Take 3! In five: five, four, three,two.INTERVIEWER: Well now, that brings me to my nextquestion. Youre at the top of your profession, Mr Carter,and obviously a very successful man.HARRY: Its kind of you to say so.INTERVIEWER: Yes. Well, what does it take to besuccessful in the police today, would you say?HARRY: In my opinion, todays policeman needs twothings: firstly -INTERVIEWER: Or policewoman.HARRY: What?INTERVIEWER: I mean, there are female officers as wellas male ones, arent there?HARRY: Yes, of course there are! As I was saying, todayspoliceman needs two things: firstly,INTERVIEWER: There you go again: “policeman”.Would you say then, Mr Carter, that success in the policedepends on what sex you are?HARRY: OK, thats it! That does it!DIRECTOR: Cut!HARRY: Out of my office, please, and Ill be in touch withthe director of the TV company about this.INTERVIEWER: But that question was on the list!HARRY: It was not!INTERVIEWER: Look!HARRY: Oh! Hmm, so it was. Well Im still not going toanswer it.DIRECTOR: Can we finish the interview, please, MrCarter? 12 million people!HARRY: Very well.DIRECTOR: Take 4! Three, two, one.INTERVIEWER: Well Mr Carter, to end with, can we saya word or two about your private life? Youre a marriedman, arent you?HARRY: I am indeed.INTERVIEWER: And youve recently become a father forthe second time, isnt that so?HARRY: Yes, indeed. My son, Harry Junior, was born 6months ago. My daughter, Geraldine, is exactly 3; its herbirthday today.INTERVIEWER: Is she going to be a policeman when shegrows up?HARRY: What do you mean by that?INTERVIEWER: Just a joke, thats all. Well, thank youvery much Mr Carter, its been extremely interesting talkingto you.INTERVIEWER: And that brings us to the end of todays“Cop on the Hop”.DIRECTOR: OK, thats it, thank you, great! Well get thestuff out of your office as soon as we can, Mr Carter.Section 33.2A Dialogue.HARRY: Come in!EDITH: Those TV people have gone now, have they, MrCarter?HARRY: Thats right.EDITH: How did the interview go, then?HARRY: It went alright, although I didnt think much ofthat young lady.
