JAMES AND JULIA

Kevin: You may remember that James Brady’s hobby is photography? Well, today he and Julia Marsh have gone to an art gallery to see an exhibitions of photographs, but James has been in a bad mood all day.

Julia: What do you think of this, James?

James: It’s OK.

Julia: James.

James: I’m sorry, I’m hadn’t about Tom Hall.

Julia: Because he received a prize for something you did?

James: Yes. The Drake Bicycle campaign.

Julia: I’m trying to remember… Had anyone worked on that campaign before you?

James: No, they hadn’t. And before I left MAP, I’d finished it. What do you think I should do?

Julia: Well, as I see it, there’s nothing you can do - except enjoy the exhibition.

James: Sorry. I think that’s Ireland. Who’s the photographer?

Julia: 126. Er… John Patrick Brady.

James: What! That’s amazing!

Julia: Do you know him?

James: He’s my cousin!

He’d finished it before he left MAP. He had finished it before he left MAP.

James: Here’s another one… Aren’t they wonderful?

Julia: They’re very nice.

James: No, what do you really think? Isn’t he a great photographer?

Julia: He’s good. Yes, he’s very good. Is he a professional photographer, or is this his hobby?

James: I don’t really know. He was still a student when I last saw him. He’d always been a keen photographer, like me. But he certainly hadn’t had an exhibitions when I left Ireland. I’s sure of that. He’d never ever sold a photograph, as far as I can remember.

Julia: Why didn’t he tell you about this exhibitions?

James: Well, I haven’t seen him for ages. I’m so pleased he’s doing well.

Julia: And I’m so pleased you’re in a better mood.

James: What do you mean?

Julia: Before you found your cousin’s photos, you hadn’t smiled all day.

James: Well, maybe I’d better go and ring Tom Hall while I’m still in a good mood.

Julia: Good idea. I’ll join you later.

Artist: Mm! That’s OK. Aaaggg! What happened to you!?

Model: I told you. I went to the hairdresser’s?

Artist: The hairdresser’s?

Model: Well, I hadn’t been for ages and my coat was getting too long.

Artist: And what happened?

Model: Well, the hairdresser was new.

Artist: New?

Model: Mm. I hadn’t seen him before.

Artist: And?

Model: Before I knew what he was doing, he’d cut it all off! It feels Ok, but I think I’ll get another coat before winter.

Artist: Yes, you’d better!

Natalie: Have you ever been to the Science Museum, Kevin?

Kevin: No, but I’d like to hold.
