Afternoon levity

From the same book, which has given me the pleasure of chuckling out loud twice today:

“The whole angel thing, Declan, came about because I was going to kill myself. And then I bumped into three other people on the top of a tower block who were thinking of doing the same thing. And then…well, to cut a long story short, the angel told us to come down again.”

“Fuck me.”

“Exactly.”

“And you reckon you can get the other three?”

“Almost sure of it.” [...]

“Go on, then. Fuck it. Fuck the expense.”

“Top man, Dec.”

“I think it’s a good idea. I’m pleased with that. Old Declan’s still got it, eh?”

“Too right. You’re a newshound. You’re the Newshound of the Baskervilles.”
