Security
Hello, is that reception, London Weekend Television?
This is security, reps from reception has gone off duty, sir
Oh I see, uh I am supposed to meet somebody in reception
And I wanted to know if they were there waiting
What is the name of the person you are supposed to meet?
Haile Selassie
Haile?

Is there a Haile Selassie here, no
Could you possibly, if he does, he will come in very shortly
Would you tell him that Marcus Garvey, ehm phoned?
Uh huh
And that I will meet him, well it's, meet him in Babylon and Ting?
Yes, when Marcus comes in, right?
Yeah
And you are supposed to be waiting for him to come in

Oh, is that Haile Selassie?
No, it wasn't him, it was a cab
He's a, he's a black gentleman
But he when he comes in, I asked you, you're gonna meet him at where was it? 
I'll make a note of this
Yup, Babylon and Ting
Babylon and Ting
That's it
Right you are
Thank you, God bless you
