Silent Witness

So, Jimmy thinks I’ve finally lost the plot…

Bernie, I’m up on a roof, it looks like snow and I need to finish here today. I don’t have time for your conspiracy theories.
It’s not a conspiracy theory, Jimmy. I think Danny is under police protection.
Stop calling him Danny will you.
But it’s his name.
Our neighbour is not called Danny De Vito.
It is. He told me himself.
You just made that up.
I swear he told me. His name is Danny. Well Daniel, but not DeVito. He said to call him Dan.
Look I can’t talk to you now. I need to finish this roof before the weather gets any worse.
But we could have a murderer living across the road.
Danny De Vito is not a murderer.
You said to stop calling him Danny De Vito.
Jaysis, Bernie. You have me head melted. Danny whateverhisname is, is not a murderer.
How do you know?
They don’t put murderers under police protection.
Do they not?
No. Don’t be silly.
But you think he could be under witness protection?
No, I don’t.
But you said…
Bernie, I said I have to go before I fall off this bleedin’ roof.
OK, Stay safe Jimmy, but hurry home.
I’ll be home at five.
Great. You can help me with the Christmas tree.
You said you weren’t putting up a tree this year.
I changed my mind.
Is this because of Danny Christmas’s winter wonderland across the road?
Don’t be silly. By the way, have you seen our Frosty?
Our what?
Frosty the ten foot snowman. I thought he was in the garage but he’s not there.
I gave him to Christy.
What? Why?
You said you hated him and there wasn’t a snowballs chance in Hell he was going up this year.
Feck sake Jimmy. I want my Frosty back.
Too late. He’s up on top of Christy’s front porch.
Well, we’ll have to buy a new one.
Heaven help me, Bernie. You change your mind like the bloody weather. I just can’t keep up.
See you later Jimmy, and don’t come home without Frosty.
