We have come here to offer assistance in return, as a gesture of good will. We see you are making progress on your way to the shopping centre at Stephens Green. I can only assume it is to retrieve the food stored there before it expires.

Brian: That’s a fair assumption.

Brother Paul: In that case, allow me to propose an exchange. Your colleagues may have informed you of our work to evacuate a large number of people to the west coast where we have reports of ships waiting to take refugees to Canada and the United States.

Brian: They did.

Brother Paul: Perhaps the food you secure could be added to our own resources and we could take your people along with us.
