PopeWatch: Astrid?

PopeWatch:  Astrid, who is that?

Swiss Guard:  (Laughing)  She said you would deny knowing her.  Her precise statement was:  (He attempts a Southern accent.)  PopeWatch is an attorney.  They are slicker than a hog running loose through a grease factory.

PopeWatch:  (Silence)

Swiss Guard:  I have a copy of the letter that she sent you and another letter from her introducing me.

PopeWatch:  Let’s go into those documents after lunch.

A few minutes later at a table at El Cancun.

Swiss Guard:  Is there anyone in this village who doesn’t know you?

PopeWatch:  Dwight tends to be a friendly place and I have lived here with my Bride since 1985.

Swiss Guard:  I am surprised that more people do not act surprised at my uniform.

PopeWatch:  People in Dwight are used to me going around town with unusual guests.

Swiss Guard:  I am leaving the service of His Holiness once I get back to Rome.  I wouldn’t mind settling down in my native Switzerland in a friendly little place like this.

PopeWatch:  It can be nice.  If you only know large cities there is normally an adjustment period of about a year.

Swiss Guard:  Ah our food!  Water! Water!

PopeWatch:  It does tend to be spicy.

An hour later back in the office of PopeWatch.

PopeWatch:  Now if I could see those letters. 

(Phone buzzes.)  There is a Sister out here asking to see you.
