Title - 116: "An Inspector Calls"
Subtitle - xxvii. "There is Nothing Like a (Pantomime) Dame"
(In the Detulux lobby, the henchman in the frilly dress is still sat at the reception desk. He is knitting. The Captain approaches, leaning on the desk.)
Captain: Alright pal, I have to ask as you've got the Boss bemused something awful...why the dress?
Receptionist: You pulled me to one side earlier and said that we had guests coming and needed someone to man the desk.
(The Captain raises both his hands in confused anger. Betty the medic enters the lobby, wearing a pink coat over her uniform and carrying and handbag an umbrella.)
Captain: Man the desk. Not woman the desk!
Receptionist: Well I figured most receptionists are older ladies, right? So I ran home and got changed and came right back.
(Betty pauses while walking past, having overheard the conversation.)
Betty: Er, that's a little bit sexist, and what you're doing is actually really quite transphobic.
Captain: Yeah, what she said. Tronphabic. Definitely. Second question, you keep a dress at home?
(The henchman pulls at one of the frills on their dress as if to show it off.)
Receptionist: Well yeah! You see, it's not pantomime season for a good few months yet-
(Captain places his head in both of his hands in exasperation while still leaning on the desk.)
Captain: Figures. Next question:
(The Captain angrily moves off of the desk, clutching at the air. The receptionist is unimpressed, placing both of his hands on his hips.)
Captain: What the hell is a pantomime?
