This young boy happens to ride his chopper past the job centre during Pauline's siege. She yells her demands and asks him to go find Inspector Cox, not noticing that the boy wears a hearing-aid and cannot hear what she's saying. ROSS LOOKS AWAY, IGNORING HER. SHE SLOWLY GETS TO HER FEET, UNSTEADILY. THEN, REMEMBERING IT’S A ROLEPLAY, BRIGHTENS UP.

Pauline is the evil restart officer who loves to belittle and berate her "job seekers". Her friends are her pens. As horrible as she is, you cannot help but feel sorry for her whenever she's hurt (probably due to Steve's excellent portrayal). Her dream is to open a pen shop (called "Her Nibs").

THE PRESSURE GAUGE GOES INTO THE RED, AND SUDDENLY THE TORTOISE SEEMS TO EXPLODE OUT OF IT’S SHELL AND CRASHES THROUGH THE WINDOW. DR. CHINNERY IS LEFT HOLDING ONTO THE SMOKING SHELL OF THE TORTOISE. THE REVERAND, BERNICE WOODALL, CONDUCTS A SERVICE. THERE IS ABOUT FIVE PEOPLE IN THE CONGREGATION. SHE SEEMS TO HATE PREACHING, AND LOOKS MISERABLE WHEN THE CONGREGATION DON’T RESPOND WITH ENTHUSIASM. Pauline fits neatly into that equation.
