Superintendent Akimbu : [Taking Rumpole to David Mazenze's cell] We've got your client chained to the wall down here. You'd better watch out for the rats. And the water dripping from the moat!
[laughs. Opens door. Music is playing]
Superintendent Akimbu : Mr. Mazenze. Gentleman come all the way from London to see you.
[David is revealed sitting comfortably at a desk with an open French window to the outside and sunlight streaming in. The "cell" is a large comfortable room]
David Mazenze : [Stands and turns off record player] Dear old Horace Rumpole! What's your tipple? Bordeaux, if my memory serves me right.
Horace Rumpole : Well, wait till they hear about this in Wormwood Scrubs!
David Mazenze : I have a few friends in the French Embassy.
Horace Rumpole : Oh yes, well your friends at Justicia International...
David Mazenze : Oohhh. Such good chaps even if not that experienced politically?
Horace Rumpole : Well they said that you'd be chained to the wall in the Chateau d'If! With rising damp and the bread and water just out of reach.
