The premise

Here’s the bit.

Lou takes Andy to the swimming baths and asks a lifeguard to help him lift his friend from the wheelchair. As Lou outlines the difficulties, Andy slips away to the high diving board, plunges into the water and returns to his chair. The elaborate explanation continues without Lou noticing what has happened behind him.
