Robert Gold : Now, Mr. Southgate, you have the reputation of being something of a 'lone wolf.' Is this a protest against the establishment?
Walter Southgate : It's true. I have always preferred to be a mouse and walk by itself; rather than a member of a group of literary lions - always licking each other or washing each other behind the ears - and biting each other. And, as you know, they're behind bars in a cultural zoo!

Diana Scott : Your books have arrived.
Robert Gold : And your records.

Diana Scott : Oh yes, I hate convention! You can't breathe. You have to break away.
Robert Gold : But isn't the break away of yesterday the convention of today?
Diana Scott : Well, then you have to break away again!
Robert Gold : Just for the sake of it? Isn't that conventional? In the way young people do it today; I mean, in the way they dress and the way they dance, the way they're talking. That's more conventional than what they are trying to get away from.
Diana Scott : Do you say the way I dress is conventional?
Robert Gold : Well, you're dressed in the height of fashion. Your hair is...
Diana Scott : Oh, I just wash and curl it!

Interviewee: London Man : I think, in actual fact, it has become worse over a period of time. But, it's one of those things you have to live with, I dare say so.
