Transcript
A large slab lies over a drain in the stone floor. Young man: “What’s that?” Gray-haired man: “That’s what was blocking the drain.” Gray-haired man: “After sufficient time, sacrificial residue accumulates.” Gray-haired man: “There was quite a lot more than residue.” Woman: “Sam, when you cleared the blockage from that floor channel, did you find anything besides dried blood?” Sam: “Uh... Nothing unexpected?” Gray-haired man: “Mr Keane, what precisely did you expect to find in my sacrificial drainage system?”
