Pope Bendedict (through a confessional partition): Have you come to confess my child?
Audrey Zazou (head of Blatherskite’s Paris bureau): No, I want to interview for you for Blatherskite
Pope: Who?
Audrey: I haven’t got time for that. Now you are telling the people in Africa who ‘ave got Aids that condoms are no good
Pope: Sexual abstinence and fidelity is the best way, the Church has always taught that
Audrey: Well it never worked for me. There are 32 million people in Africa with Aids. Wouldn’t a few more condoms ‘elp?
Pope: I believe they aggravate the problem. Don’t you think that?
Audrey: Well they are a bit of a nuisance. Anyway, what else ‘ave you been up to?
Pope: Well I had to deal with that bishop who denied the Holocaust
Audrey: ‘E must be mad
Pope: Everyone’s entitled to their views my child
Audrey: We’re not getting very far ‘ere Benedict. Bought any shoes lately?
Pope: Well yes, actually, from Prada. Do you like Prada?
Audrey: Jimmy Choos. Do Prada make desert boots….
