GEOFFREY turns and sees JAWBONES.]
GEOFFREY [With a smile.] Give me down my coat, will you?
JAWBONES [He is sympathetic. He helps him on with it.] Shall I
get you a cab, sir?
GEOFFREY No, thanks. I'll pick one up. [He goes towards the
door, then stops.] Is there any other way out--not through the
main entrance?
JAWBONES Yes, sir. There's a side door opening on Woodstock Road.
I'll show it you.
GEOFFREY Thanks. [He follows JAWBONES out.]
[A burst of cheering comes from the crowd.]
