I couldn't be more pleased with the way our Wonderland Day. It was very enlightening. Tomorrow I'm going to the BBC to speak to couple of the producers there. Who'd like to go with me to take the tour?

Oh, thank goodness. I know he's a big kitty, but I'm fond of him, so I worry... I worry about people I'm fond of. You're right; he did seem upset. He's usually a lot louder.

It's the sign of a good friendship, Harrison. But in this case, I don't think you need to worry much. He'll be alright.

I think I'd like to join you on your BBC tour, if I'm invited. What time?

I also need to go shopping.

Of course you're invited. I was specifically thinking of you. We need to leave by 9:00. I'll see if I could pull a few strings to help sneak you on some of the sets, if you promise to behave.

You mentioned that on the plane. Souvenirs? Or something more specific?

Neil, Scott, Toby & Nava

Oh, really? Gosh... Thanks, Neil. Why were you specifically thinking of me? Of course I can behave! I'd love to see the sets!! Maybe Judi Dench will be there! Mum loved Judi Dench.

Well, souvenirs. And

[pause, then a lock appears]

[Neil]

And a ring.

It's unlikely she'll be there, but anything's possible. She's an amazing actress and a delightful woman. I met her once at a cocktail party, but that was years ago.

We can go after I'm finished with my meetings.

[Harrison]

For real?

OH MY GOD YOU'VE MET HER?! If you meet her again, ever, could I have her autograph? Only, have it signed 'for Betty'. It will be like a posthumous pressie for Mum...

Sweet-as! Thank you, Neil. [doodled smiley face] I'm excited!

[Neil]

No, a fake ring. I hear ladies like those.

Yes, for real.

Re: Neil, Scott, Toby & Nava

I swear I'll do my best.

[Harrison]

Congratulations.

There are a number of places I could take you. What's your price range?

There's a bubble gum machine at the department store.

Neil

Thank you. [...] Wow, I actually- The tears- Thank you.

I've saved $600. I've actually got a specific type of ring to find. But a ring from this area would make it even more special. I'm sure you understand.

Ha ha, very funny. $600 would buy a lot of gum.

This stays between you and me, though, okay? I haven't even told my dad yet.

Re: Harrison

[off_the_hookah]

I didn't know this would mean so much to you.

I do understand. I think. What are the specifics?

Mum's the word.

Neil

[one_fry_short]

Are you kidding? You're like a father to me, Neil.

Well, her nickname is Cassiopeia. So I'm looking for a Cassiopeia Topaz.

Thank you. I just know I'll be taking the piss for this sooner or later, but I'd prefer for it to be later.

Re: Harrison

[off_the_hookah]

I'm honored, but I'm not very fatherly material. I try to be a good friend.

... I've never heard of it, but I think Harrod's will.

Neil

[one_fry_short]

What is "fatherly material"? Because, for the past eight years, you've been there for me, supported me, and made me feel like I was loved and appreciated. Despite my shortcomings. And I know I've got a lot of shortcomings. So, if you're not "fatherly material", you're simply the greatest friend I have ever had.

And my dad could take some lessons from you.

It's blue. Light blue. Like the sky. Ooooh, Harrod's. The Beatles loved Harrod's. Awesome.

Re: Harrison

[off_the_hookah]

[....] Thank you. You've very kind.

I... don't know how else to answer.

Neil

[one_fry_short]

I've speechlessed you?

Re: Harrison

[off_the_hookah]

You have. Thank you.

I mean, I don't even feel as close to my biological son as I do to you Wonderlanders.
