"Is there anything else I could do for you, Control? Anything at all?"
"No, indeed, Tony, you have been the very picture of thoughtfulness. The way those reports from the Russians were folded was some of the neatest work I have seen in my entire career."
"Control, you will make me blush!"
"No, indeed, I am most grateful to you for your work all these years, most grateful. Er... Tony?"
"Yes, Control?"
"There is one thing that I still have in mind."
"Oh?"
"It's only a little thing."
"I know. You would like me to order another coffee for you? It would be no trouble, I assure you."
"No, no, not at all, Tony. It is just that... Goodness, this is embarrassing."
"Go ahead, Control. You know you can tell me anything."
"As long as it's not classified, ha ha!"
"Ha ha, Control. Just as you say."
"Ha, ha. Yes. Well. The thing is, Tony - how long have we been working together now?"
"Fourteen years this June, I believe, Control."
"Goodness. Indeed. Fourteen years. I'm afraid, Tony, that in those fourteen years I have fallen quite helplessly in love with you."
"Really, Control?"
"Yes, Tony. It is quite embarrassing."
"Not at all, Control. I am honoured. I feel quite moved, actually. You see, I have also fallen in love with you."
"You don't say?"
"I have, Control. It is the thought of your pleasant smile that gets me out of bed every morning."
"Goodness, Tony. Such passion. And it isn't even teatime yet."

"Tony. I thought you'd never ask."
