Sure, I enjoyed Conclave. I'm just saying it would have been better if Ralph Fiennes played the same character as he did in In Bruges.

![1
[Show an image of a basic pot of TESCO COLESLAW, on a table]
VOICE FROM OFF-SCENE:
Slaw.
2
SECOND VOICE [pointing a hand at the coleslaw]:
Coleslaw.
3
[We pull back to see a YOUNG MAN sat at an interview-style table in a therapy session, with a professional opposite him wearing a lanyard].
YOUNG MAN:
Slaw.
PROFESSIONAL:
No... coleslaw, Peter.
And it comes in a...?
4
YOUNG MAN:
In a... pot from... Tesco.
PROFESSIONAL:
Very good.
5
[We are now outside the room this scene is in. On the wall outside the room is a sign reading]:
ABDP:
American 'BBQ' Deradicalisation Programme
[Beneath the sign is a professional looking woman, also wearing a lanyard]:
PROFESSIONAL [with concerned, serious face]:
The process can take a long time.
6
[We now hear her voiceover, but we are looking at a scene of a male hunched over a laptop in their bedroom].
PROFESSIONAL:
Every year we see more and more British men being exposed to this content from America.
7.
[We see what's on the screen: a YouTube video about AMERICAN BBQ, with a bearded, thick-glasses, plaid-shirt wearing man holding a big rack of ribs in black-gloved hands].
8
[Cut to a garden scene: a typical British man is incinerating sausages on his crap little barbecue]
PROFESSIONAL V/O:
One day they're incinerating sausages like a normal person
9
PROFESSIONAL V/O:
The next they re standing in front of a 'smoker' and expecting you to ask them about it.
[Same man, same scene, but he is now a heavily bearded, plaid and glasses wearing American BBQ bro, stood in front of a huge smoking cabinet bearing the legend PIT BOSS PRO, and forking a big rack of ribs. A woman is approaching his table tentatively, and politely asks:]
WOMAN:
What's tha-
BBQ BRO:
OH IT'S MYSMOKER.
10
BBQ BRO:
I USE MESQUITE WOOD CHIPS.
[She looks alarmed, confused]
11
BBQ BRO:
DO YOU WANT TO SEE MY SMOKE RING
[Two ABDP agents, like police officers, have arrived and are lunging for him - one saying]:
POLICE OFFICER:
Grab his tongs](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4m3we4apbjayclzcnhwe3pfp/bafkreiadebllpi77q2bqooqthca34fi2ufhxs62l3pcm4wft7d4ssjceba@jpeg)
