Ruth Lang: [Ghost gets out of bed in morning] The modesty of the morning after?
The Ghost: I'm sorry. I thought you were asleep.
Ruth Lang: You mean you thought I'd be gone? [Reading] You've taken out the family tree. He's very proud of the Langs.
The Ghost: You know, if you want a family tree, go to a garden center.
Ruth Lang: Why have you underlined my name every time?
The Ghost: I was surprised there wasn't more about you.
Ruth Lang: Why? I'm just the wife.
The Ghost: Yeah, even so. You ought not to be written out of history.
Ruth Lang: Why not? Most women are.
The Ghost: Then I'll reinstate you. I'll put in all the occasions that he's forgotten.
Ruth Lang: How kind. Like the boss's secretary that remembers his wife's birthday for him?
The Ghost: Something like that. But then, like you say, I'm not a proper writer.
Ruth Lang: What are you planning to do?
The Ghost: Leave.
Ruth Lang: It's not necessary, as far as I'm concerned.
The Ghost: I'm afraid it is, as far as I am.
Ruth Lang: Where will you go?
The Ghost: Back to the hotel. Look, I'm sorry. I should never have stayed in a client's house. It always ends up with...
Ruth Lang: With you screwing the client's wife?
The Ghost: No, not always. But it does make it hard to maintain a professional distance.
Ruth Lang: And the thing we discussed last night? What do you propose to do about that?
The Ghost: That's none of my business.
Ruth Lang: Well, you can't just ignore it.
The Ghost: Look, I'm his ghostwriter. I'm not an investigative reporter. What are you gonna do about it?
Ruth Lang: Perhaps I'll write my own memoirs. Ex-Prime Minister's Wife Tells All.
The Ghost: Well, if you ever decide to do that, give me a call.
Ruth Lang: You think I need someone like you to produce my book? I don't want to be in his bloody memoirs. He's on his own. I'll get a divorce. And she can do the prison visits. [Storms out door and slams door]
