The cane will be out shortly.

Every mum should always carry the essentials.

[Ian]

What, a whip?

Alex needs to be able to relax when you're lurking around.
She needs that little bit of self protection.

[fish]

...self protection...

And don't for one minute think she's not keeping a close eye on you.

[Ian]

She'll have to close the other one eventually.

[fish]

...eventually...

A nice fresh ocean breeze will help Alex stay wide awake.

[Ian]

Just so long as it doesn't blow her away.

Watched "Girl in the Spider's Web" last night.
Sverrir Gudnason as Mikael Blomkvist.
I thought he was better as the arsehole Conny in Fröken Sverige.



In fact, I thought "Girl in the Spider's Web" was a let down in the Millenium series.
Too much reliance on high tech gimmicks and not enough on Salander's genius proved a bit of a bore for me.
Neither Sverrir nor Claire Foy as Salander seemed to have great roles and weren't particularly interesting as characters.

And the kid!
FFS, his father has just been murdered in front of him and he seems more concerned about the fancy sportscar Salander is going to steal.
Mean to say....

[Ian]

Not seen it. No Noomi, no me.

[fish]

...No Noomi, no me...

Studying Noomi's part in the script.
Maybe Alex should have taken the Salander role.

[Ian]

That would have worked too.

[fish]

Ian agrees to takes on the role of Mikael Blomkvist providing the director includes a new scene of Ian's choosing.

[Ian]

I convinced him it was purely for artistic reasons.

[fish]

...purely for artistic reasons...

How noble of you to put your art ahead of your discomfort about appearing naked on screen.
In bed with Alex.

Alex expects that the director will consult with her about this new scene any day now.

[Ian]

I am always willing to make these sacrifices for my art.
