CALLER 3: One of the members of the Magic Circle is a priest. He's President of the Irish Magicians Union. Very entertaining.

CALLER 3: I bring happiness to people in old folks homes, children's hospitals and hospices.
CALLER 1: The devil will bring happiness to everyone.
CALLER 2: This is a mistake. They're children. Skilled illusionists.
CALLER 1: I don't think it's a mistake. The Pope says it's wrong. That priest needs to question his vocation.

Drug deal. Heeey! Heeeey! A strumpet sounds. Stocky stripes and tracksuit geez with red hair struts down the Hill. A hefty short haired woman waddles up it. Role reversal. He gives her money. She slips him a dime bag.
She says to take it easy if you're on your own. Says he's probably going to just smoke it. Says she, well, it's lovely for that. Horse fair.
