Serge: This is nice, isn’t it?
Nato person: Well this is a very important meeting feller.
Serge: You’re not American by any chance?
Nato person: Funny you should say that, I’m from Abilene actually.
Serge: But wasn’t this old Nick Ceacuscu’s place? Strange place for a meeting of democrats..
Nato person: Hang on, feller, I think I’d better take your fingerprints..
(Serge is dragged away by four large Americans, hooded and placed on a C130 cargo plane. Fortunately he pressed the emergency button on his satellite phone first, raising Blatherskite HQ).
Blatherskite HQ (wearily): So what’s going on? What are you doing with Serge?
Admiral Hiram D. Maximgun (Nato liason officer): Mr Poniatowski is being renditioned to Kazakhstan because he is against peace!
Blatherskite HQ: Via Scotland?
Admiral HDM: Could be that way Sir, we have a fair bit of traffic that way, as you know.
Blatherskite HQ: Yeah, could you drop him off a Prestwick? I’ll have the haddock Serge, and a deep-fried Mars bar.
Admiral HDM: It’s good to talk to a friend of liberty Sir!
Blatherskite HQ: Thanks Admiral, pleasure to do business with you.
Serge: Aaargh!
