"We don’t know where he is…or for that matter, when he’ll be back, but if you’d like to leave a message, maybe tell us who you are…"
"A message. Sure. How’s this? Dear Caulder, you wanker, I need my penny you nicked, ‘cause the world’s about to fucking end...again. Signed, your old pal, Kip."
"That’s your name? Kip?"
"Name’s Kipling, Willoughby Kipling. Knights Templar, in case you’re wonderin’. Don’t suppose that means anything to either of you. I’m very big in the world of, shall we say, international strangeness. So go ahead, check me out. In the meantime, I’ll be in that bag of goat shit’s office, saving the world."
