Barrister 1: I need a Big Grown-Up for this tenancy interview panel next week.
Barrister 2: Well, there aren't any on this floor at the moment.
Barrister 1: By which I mean, someone from about '95 Call.
Barrister 2: Oh, I thought you meant a silk.
Barrister 1: Well, a silk would be ideal, but really, anyone who could lead someone would do.
Barrister 2: Still none on this floor I'm afraid.

[Later on the clerks' floor]

Barrister 2: Did you find a Big Grown-Up?
Barrister 1: No, no Big Grown-Ups anywhere!
Barrister 2: Oh no, the infants have taken over the nursery!
Barrister 1: I'm telling you, if we want to carry out a Children of the Corn-style revolution, now is the time.
