LEJEUNE: Watch out, the ladder!

OSBORNE: Inspector Lejeune! I take this as an honour, I do indeed, sir.
LEJEUNE: It’s really not, Mr Osborne. Please, finish trimming your hedge.
OSBORNE: I received your acknowledgement of my letter, but I never imagined that I’d see you in person again.
LEJEUNE: Watch out, the ladder!
HE STEADIES IT. OSBORNE CLIMBS DOWN.
