You sit on your seat so that you can watch what the curious group get up to. They begin talking and shaking hands, and the tall man opens an attache case and shows its contents to the other four. From your position you are able to see what is in the case. The tall man has brought a new stethoscope still in its own box. The woman takes it from him and places it inside her ski suit, and from another pocket in her suit she produces two bundles of crisp new bank notes. She hands one to him and says "This is for your trouble," and giving him the second one she tells him "And this is for keeping your mouth shut."
