It was a family meeting. They decided that as good parents they needed to talk about it now, more formally. They were sitting at the kitchen table trying to look serious. Sam was sitting opposite, trying to look innocent. He began by saying that they thought this was a serious matter and wanted to get to the bottom of it. They tried not to talk in clichés but he did say: “This wasn’t funny or clever.” He winced. His Agent replayed what had happened. Sam’s Agent responded, protesting that this misrepresented what had happened. It was unfair. Sam looked exasperated.
