Narrative

ANNIE
Hector. [Yes?}. Please could you pass the salt?

HECTOR
Yes.

ANNIE
Hector. [Yes?]. Please could you pass the pepper?

HECTOR
Of course.

ANNIE
Hector.

HECTOR
Let me guess. Can I pass the sugar, coffee, tea.

ANNIE
Actually I was going to say we should talk.

HECTOR
So now you want to talk to me! It’s only been a week!

ANNIE
I was hurt!

HECTOR
Well you hurt me too.

ANNIE
I didn’t go out with Eunice!

HECTOR
I didn’t go out with Eunice!

ANNIE
Yes you did! And you stayed out ‘till three o’clock in the morning!

HECTOR
There were other people there too.

ANNIE
Who?

HECTOR
People who work on the programme.

ANNIE
You mean other women who work on the programme.

HECTOR
Yes and men, why not? Eh?

ANNIE
I knew it! So, who is she?

HECTOR
Who?

ANNIE
The other woman.

HECTOR
There is no other woman!

ANNIE
Huh!

HECTOR
Annie, listen. [Sound of mobile phone ringing]. Oh, excuse me. Hello. Ha, ha-ha, hi Debbie. And how are you? Ha-ha. Good. Erm, OK, that’ll be OK, perfect, see you then. Bye.

ANNIE
So was that her?

HECTOR
Who?

ANNIE
Debbie. The other woman.

HECTOR
That was Debbie from the make-up department, confirming my call time for tomorrow.

ANNIE
Oh! Some excuse!

ANNIE
Hector.

HECTOR
Yes.

ANNIE
Please could you pass me your fork?
Here, I’m going. You can have my dinner!!

Sound of door slamming

Sound of laughter

BRIDGET
You should have seen Eunice’s face! Ha-ha-ha! She was furious!

HECTOR
When Eunice gets angry, she is a very scary lady!

Sound of laughter/sound of mobile phone

HECTOR
Oh, hello. Yes. Excuse me. No, no. Erm, bye, Bridget.

BRIDGET
Oh. All right Hector. Bye.

HECTOR
Hola, Lola! Ah!

Sound of door opening/closing

BRIDGET
Guess what?

ANNIE
Prince William wants to marry you?

BRIDGET
I know that! No! I’ve got a promotion!

ANNIE
That’s nice.

BRIDGET
Nice? Nice? It’s fantastic! I am editor of Channel 9 Live! Eunice is no longer my boss!
Is that Hugh Grant? It’s Bridget Evans here. Call me Gigi, editor of Channel 9 Live. Are we still on for lunch at Claridge’s today? Oh, fab! Ciao! [Sound of laughter]. Eunice is so jealous!

ANNIE
Now that is good news.

BRIDGET
Annie, what are you doing?

ANNIE
I’m doing my own editing.

BRIDGET
Why are you cutting out photos of you and Hector?

ANNIE
Because Hector is no longer my boyfriend.

BRIDGET
Really? Why?

ANNIE
Because he is having an affair!

BRIDGET
Really?!! Who with?

ANNIE
Well, I thought it was Eunice, but now I think it’s Debbie.

BRIDGET
Well I just heard him on the phone to Lola.

ANNIE
Lola? Who’s she? Hah! Eunice, Debbie, Lola, ha, he’s women mad!! Aah!

BRIDGET
Ooh!

BRIDGET [Composing email]
Guess what?! I’ve got a new job! I am editor of Channel 9 Live.

BRIDGET
It’s fantastic! I am editor of Channel 9 Live!

BRIDGET [Composing email]
Eunice is no longer my boss.
Oh – and I overheard Hector talking to ‘Lola’ on the phone …

HECTOR
Hola, Lola!

BRIDGET [Composing email]
Very suspicious!

ANNIE [Composing email]
Hector is no longer my boyfriend! I’m sure he is seeing someone else.
First, I thought it was Eunice.

HECTOR
I didn’t go out with Eunice!

ANNIE
Yes you did and you stayed out ‘till three o’clock in the morning!

ANNIE [Composing email]
But now I think it’s Debbie.

ANNIE
So was that her?

HECTOR
Who?

ANNIE
Debbie. The other woman.

HECTOR
Hi Nick.
What are you doing?

NICK
I am not doing, I am being.

HECTOR
Oh. What are you being?

NICK
Can’t you guess?

HECTOR
A man on the toilet? A Sumo wrestler?

NICK
Can’t you see? I am an egg.

HECTOR
Oh, of course, you are an egg.

NICK
Now, what sort of egg am I?

HECTOR
Hard-boiled.

NICK
Hah!

HECTOR
Scrambled.

NICK
Scrambled?!

HECTOR
Fried.

NICK
Nearly! [Hmm?]
Poached!

HECTOR
Oh yeah. Of course, you are a poached egg.

NICK
Yeah.

HECTOR
Well you’re making a mess on your bed! Ha-ha-ha!
Anyway, why are you being a poached egg?

NICK
It’s my new acting class.
Total Being.

HECTOR
Oh, what are you next week? A piece of wood?

NICK
A piece of wood?

HECTOR
Yeah, then it would be wooden acting!
Anyway, can poached eggs talk?

NICK
Don’t be silly! Of course poached eggs can’t talk.

HECTOR
No, no, I mean, when you are ‘being’ a poached egg, can you talk?

NICK
Oh yes, anyway, I want to stop now, my arms are hurting. Ah! Agh!
So, what do you want to talk about?

HECTOR
It is Annie.

NICK
Eh?

HECTOR
She thinks I am having an affair.

NICK
Who with?

HECTOR
Eunice.

Sound of whistling

HECTOR
And Debbie.

NICK
What? Two women, Hector! Ha! You cheeky thing!

HECTOR
But I am not!

NICK
Oh, so tell Annie then.

HECTOR
I have, but she doesn’t believe me.
NICK
Why not?

HECTOR
I don’t know.

Sound of mobile phone ringing

HECTOR
Oh, Excuse me. Hola, Lola. Ha!
I’ll take this outside. How are you, Lola?

NICK
So, it’s not Eunice, it’s not Debbie, could it be – Lola?

Traffic noise

ZEUS
Hey, hey, stop, please!

ANNIE
I knew it! It had to be a selfish man driver!

ZEUS
Please, I have a voucher.

ANNIE
I, I’m sorry, I’ve started, so I’ll finish.

ZEUS
Look I am Zeus, why are you so angry?

ANNIE
I’m not. I am just doing my job – Zeus.

Sound of door slamming

ANNIE
People park on yellow lines and then are surprised when they get a parking ticket! Ha! There was this one guy today – ‘please, I have a voucher.’ Ha! No excuse! Mind you, he was quite cute.
Nick, Nick, are you OK?

Sound of door slamming/laughter

ANNIE
Bridget. Oh, it’s you, Hector. Well, there’s something wrong with Nick.

BRIDGET
Well I could have told you that!

ANNIE
No, he won’t speak, he won’t move.

HECTOR
Oh, I know. He is being a poached egg.

ANNIE
A what?

HECTOR
For his new acting class.
Hi Nick. Let me guess. You are being – a potato.
NICK
Do I look like a potato?

BRIDGET
Yes. A couch potato!

Sound of laughter

ANNIE
What about a fish?

BRIDGET
Yes, a frozen fish!

Sound of laughter

NICK
I am not a fish. I am pain.

HECTOR
You are a pain.

BRIDGET
Yes, Nick is a pain!

Sound of laughter

NICK
No, I am pain. Hurt, agony.

ANNIE
So, how was your first day as editor, Bridget?

BRIDGET
What a day! I had a very important meeting. Big decisions to make.

ANNIE
Oh, like which celebrities, new programme ideas?

BRIDGET
No, like which pen to use at my meeting. Blue, black …

HECTOR
Oh, which one did you choose?

BRIDGET
Blue.

HECTOR
Oh … [Makes tutting noise] …

ANNIE & HECTOR
Bad choice.

BRIDGET
You think so? Oh no!

HECTOR
Eunice is so jealous of Bridget’s new job, she won’t talk to anyone!

ANNIE
Not even you?

HECTOR
Not even me! It is great!

ANNIE
You don’t want her to talk to you? Really?

HECTOR
Really! Oh, Annie, I hate it when we argue.

ANNIE
So do I. I miss you.

HECTOR
I miss … [Sound of mobile phone ringing]
Oh, hola Lola. Ha-ha. …

ANNIE
Right. Two can play that game.

NICK [Composing email]
I started my ‘Totally Being’ acting classes. It is fantastic! I am not doing, I am being …

HECTOR
… A man on the toilet?

NICK [Composing email]
Yesterday I was a ‘Poached Egg’.

NICK
Yeah!

NICK [Composing email]
And today I was ‘Pain!’

NICK
I am not a fish! I am ‘Pain.’

NICK [Composing email]
Oh, and I think Hector is seeing someone called Lola.

NICK
It’s not Eunice, it’s not Debbie, could it be Lola?

NICK [Composing email]
But I don’t think Annie knows.

ANNIE [Composing email]
Hector is definitely no longer my boyfriend! It’s not Debbie! It’s Lola!

HECTOR
Hola, Lola, ha-ha …

ANNIE [Composing email]
Anyway – I’ve met a really cute guy called Zeus.

ZEUS
Look, I am Zeus. Why are you so angry?

ANNIE
I am just doing my job – Zeus!

ZEUS
Hello again.

ANNIE
Hello. We meet again.

ZEUS
You’re happier today.

ANNIE
Yes, I am now! But, I’m sorry.

ZEUS
I parked here, so you would come back.

ANNIE
Oh. You wanted to see me again?

ZEUS
You are so beautiful!

ANNIE
[Sound of giggling]
Oh, well, I’m sorry, but I am going to have to give you [No!] – this, my phone number.

ZEUS
Oh.

ANNIE
Call me. Who needs Hector?

Sound of door opening/closing

NICK
Hi Bridget.

BRIDGET
Oh!

NICK
What ‘oh’?

BRIDGET
I know, Superman.

NICK
What?

BRIDGET
Erm, I mean Clark Kent.
You are being Clark Kent for your acting class.

NICK
No. I’m not. I’m long sighted.

BRIDGET
Oh. You’re being long sighted?

NICK
No. I am long sighted. I need to wear glasses for reading.

BRIDGET
They suit you.

NICK
Oh, ah, thank you. So why are you not at Channel 9 today.

BRIDGET
Oh, I’m working from home today.
There’s so much to do!

NICK
Bridget, what’s the matter?

BRIDGET
I can’t do it! Eunice hates me!

NICK
Oh, Eunice hates everybody!

BRIDGET
They all hate me!

NICK
No they don’t!

BRIDGET
They all look at me!

NICK
Bridget, you are their boss.

BRIDGET
I have to use the executive loo!

NICK
What’s the matter with that?

BRIDGET
I want to chat to all the girls!

NICK
Oh, Bridget, you are one of the cleverest, most beautiful women I know.

BRIDGET
Really? Well who are the others?

NICK
What do you mean?

BRIDGET
You said I was only one of the cleverest most beautiful girls you know.

NICK
Bridget! You can do this job.
Channel 9 needs you.

BRIDGET
Thank you, Nick.

NICK
Hey, it was nothing.

BRIDGET
You really look handsome in those glasses.

NICK
Ha-ha-ha.

HECTOR
Oh, hi Annie.

ANNIE
Oh, hi Hector. You look smart.

HECTOR
Yes, I am going to meet someone. Oh, Annie, I have something to tell you.
[Sound of mobile phone ringing]. Oh, sorry.
¡Lola! Vale. Si, si, ya voy. Hasta luego.

Sound of door slamming

ANNIE
[Mimicking Hector]
‘Annie, I have something to tell you.’ Yes, that he is going on a date with Lola! That’s what!

BRIDGET
Nick, stop it! You’re tickling me! Oh hi Annie, I didn’t hear you come in!

NICK
[Sound of laughing]

BRIDGET
Oh Nick! [Sound of laughing] … Stop it!

ANNIE
Is everybody happy, apart from me?! [Sound of mobile phone ringing]. Hello.
Zeus! Hi! Well of course I remember you! A drink? Tonight? Ah, I’d love to. Aah!

Sound of giggling

NICK
[Sound of laughter]. Stop it! You’re tickling me!

Sound of door opening & closing

ANNIE
Zeus, meet my friends, Bridget and Nick.

NICK
Hi – HI!

BRIDGET
Well hello Zeus! Annie, where did you find him?!

NICK
Yeah, but he doesn’t wear glasses though, does he?
Eh?

ANNIE
We’ve had a lovely evening, haven’t we, Zeus.

ZEUS
Wonderful, H-Annie. Now I must say goodnight. Please, first may I use your bathroom?

ANNIE
Certainly.

ZEUS
Thank you.

ANNIE
Zeus is such a gentle man.

BRIDGET
He certainly is a man.

Sound of door shutting

HECTOR
Hi.
Annie, I must talk to you.

ANNIE
What about? Your date with Lola?

HECTOR
My date with Lola?!! Annie, Lola is a sixty year old chief executive for ATV.

ANNIE
What’s ATV?

HECTOR
Argentinian Television. And [clears throat] she wants me to return to Argentina to present their number one show. But I don’t want to go.
I want to stay here – with you.

Sound of toilet flushing/sound of door opening

ZEUS
That’s better.

ANNIE
Erm, Hector, this is …

BRIDGET
… Erm, Zeus, my new boyfriend. We’ve had a lovely evening, haven’t we! Come on, I’ll say goodbye to you downstairs!

Sound of door opening/closing

ANNIE
So Hector, will you take the job?

HECTOR
What do you think I should do, Annie?

COMMENTARY [v.o.]
So we must say goodbye to our friends for now? Will Hector stay or go back to Argentina? Will Annie go with him? And will Nick ever give up on Bridget?

EXTRA – will the story continue?!

Sound of laughter

NICK
Well, there you go!

Shall we go and try out some sleeping bags, Hect-or?
Huh!

Calm down Annie, it’s only a television report.

ANNIE
I know but, well he’s been working with Eunice a lot recently.

BRIDGET
… And?

ANNIE
And well I’m just worried that he, well, that she, well, oh you know!

Annie, don’t be silly, you’ve got nothing to worry about.
Although – Hector is a good looking man!

NICK
Yep, and she’s a good looking woman.
ANNIE
Ooh!!

Sound of film music on TV

NICK
Brrr! Pow-pow-pow! Incoming, Broad Sword calling Danny Boy, Broad Sword calling Danny Boy …

Not any more. Go on, it’s late, back to your own tent.

What’s so funny?

You, a scout! [Giggling noises]

Yes, so!

I can just imagine – trying to light fires.

Hello Hector!

HECTOR
Oh, good evening, Annie.

ANNIE
Don’t you mean ‘good morning’? Where have you been?!

HECTOR
Oh, you know, for a couple of beers.

ANNIE
Who with?

HECTOR
With the lads.

ANNIE
Oh, so erm, when did the lads start wearing LADIES’ PERFUME?!!

HECTOR
Oh, I forgot, Eunice was there too.

ANNIE
Oh, so erm, what did you talk about?

HECTOR
Tents.

ANNIE
Tents? You talked about tents all night?!
Where? In her tent? Or yours?!!

Sound of door slamming

HECTOR
Annie! An…

BRIDGET [Composing email]
Guess what? Nick is training to be in the Special Air Service.

NICK
I am going to join the SAS.

He thinks it’s the same as being a Scout!

NICK
I was in the Scouts!

ANNIE [Composing email]
Hector has been working a lot with Eunice recently.

EUNICE MOUNTAIN
Shall we go and try out some sleeping bags now, Hector?!

HECTOR
Oh!

ANNIE [Composing email]
And he came home at 1.15 in the morning.

ANNIE
Where have you been?
ANNIE [Composing email]
‘A few beers with the lads,’ he said. Huh! I could smell Eunice’s perfume on him!

ANNIE
When did the lads start wearing LADIES’ PERFUME?!!

Rustling noise

HECTOR
Oh yes! I’ve got it!

NICK
Oh, it was my turn for the toy!

HECTOR
No, you’ve got The Incredible Hulk.
So I get two turns.
Pow!! [Laughs]
Hey, Nick.

NICK
Uh?

HECTOR
What do you think of Eunice?

NICK
Ha! Well, she isn’t an English Rose.

HECTOR
No, I don’t think she is a flower.

NICK
No, it’s a saying. An English Rose. A sweet, pretty girl, like Annie.

HECTOR
Oh no! Eunice is not a sweet, pretty girl!

NICK
No. Eunice is more, erm …

HECTOR
What is that plant that grows all over walls in England?

NICK
Honeysuckle. Wallflower. Erm, ivy?

HECTOR
Yeah, ivy.
Eunice is more like English ivy.

NICK
What do you mean?

HECTOR
Well she …
NICK
… Likes dancing?

HECTOR
No, no, she …

NICK
She’s all over you?

HECTOR
Yeah.

NICK
Hah. Do you like it?

HECTOR
Mmm.

NICK
[Makes whistling noise]
I see trouble ahead. Whoo-hoo.

Sound of door slamming

BRIDGET
What’s so funny? Come on, share the joke!

ANNIE
It’s Hector.

BRIDGET
Hector came home late last night, is that it?

ANNIE
He was out with Eunice!

BRIDGET
Oh, don’t worry about Eunice, she likes flirting, that’s all. Hey, this’ll cheer you up. Look what I found.

ANNIE
Oh, it’s pictures of us when we were Brownies. Aah.
Oh, and you’re wearing your Brownie uniform! Ah.

BRIDGET
It still fits!

ANNIE
Ooh, look at all your badges!

BRIDGET
What was the Brownie law?
A Brownie guide thinks of others before herself …

ANNIE
… And does a good turn every day.
Sound of door slamming

BRIDGET
Remember the Brownie law, Annie.

ANNIE
OK. OK. Hello Hector, how are you? [Sound of kissing]

HECTOR
Fine.

ANNIE
Did you have a good night’s sleep? What was left of it!

NICK
Dib-dib, dob-dob. Ha-ha. What’s all this then?

BRIDGET
It is the Brownie salute.

NICK
Ha! That’s not a salute! This is a salute. What do you think, Hector?

HECTOR
Well both salutes are nice.

BRIDGET & ANNIE
Brownies.

NICK
Boy Scouts.

BRIDGET & ANNIE
Brownies!

NICK
Boy Scouts!

HECTOR
What are you talking about? What are Brownies? Biscuits?

ANNIE
When Bridget and I were little girls, we were Brownies.
We went camping, we sang songs.

BRIDGET
We were given badges for good works.

NICK
Huh! Brownies are for girls! In the Scouts we survived!

BRIDGET
It was just like being in the SAS, wasn’t it Nick.

NICK
Hah-huh.
HECTOR
But what are all those badges for?

BRIDGET
This one is for first aid.

HECTOR
Ah-hah, and what is second aid – or third aid!

NICK
Hah-hah!

ANNIE
First aid is for helping people who are HURT!

HECTOR
How hurt?

BRIDGET
Like if they can’t breathe.

ANNIE
Shall I demonstrate, Bridget?

BRIDGET
Go ahead, Annie.

ANNIE
Lie down, please, Hector.

Thumping noise

ANNIE
Now, this is called the kiss of life.

HECTOR
Oh-ho-ho, sounds good!

ANNIE
It means I breathe into your mouth!

HECTOR
Aha. Oh! [Sound of coughing]

ANNIE
And if you still can’t breathe, I do this.

HECTOR
Well, that is … … Oh!! Oh!!

ANNIE
And I keep doing this, until you can breathe!

HECTOR
Oh!! Oh!!

ANNIE
Are you breathing yet?

HECTOR
Yes, yes, yes, I can breathe!

ANNIE
Ah! And that is my good turn for the day.

BRIDGET
Now Nick,, bites and stings.

NICK
No thanks.

NICK
Of course, when I was in the Scouts, I went camping.

BRIDGET
So did we.

NICK
Ah, but this was proper camping, survival.

ANNIE
What, like the SAS?

NICK
Ha! We had to live off the land.

BRIDGET
What? No tins of baked beans?

NICK
No.

HECTOR
Whoa!

BRIDGET
So could you do a survival test?

NICK
Yeah, no problem.

HECTOR
Yeah.

ANNIE
Right then. We will give you a survival test.

HECTOR
Great! What is a survival test?

NICK
You’ll see, Just be prepared.
ANNIE
Ready for your survival test, boys?

NICK
Certainly am.

HECTOR
Aha.

ANNIE
OK, test number one. [Girls put on Australian voices]

BRIDGET
The jungle is full of horrible things that creep and crawl.

ANNIE
And some that wriggle everywhere.

NICK & HECTOR
Ha-ha. Ha-ha, ha-ha.

BRIDGET
Especially worms!

NICK & HECTOR
Ah!! Ah!! Ooh!! Ahh!!

ANNIE
OK. Test number two.

NICK & HECTOR
Ah! Ooh!

ANNIE
Food!

BRIDGET
You have run out of food, so you have to eat whatever you can find.

NICK & HECTOR
Egh?!

BRIDGET
Open very wide please! Ready?!

NICK & HECTOR
Ah! Ooh!

ANNIE & BRIDGET
Beetles!!

NICK & HECTOR
Ahh! Ugh!! Ahh!

ANNIE
OK. Test number three.
BRIDGET
Pain!!

NICK
Oh-ahh-ahh!

BRIDGET
I haven’t touched you yet!

ANNIE
I’m sorry boys, you have failed the survival test.

HECTOR
But erm, in the jungle it is going to be different.

NICK
Yeah, we were just pretending.

HECTOR
Aha.

NICK
It wasn’t real.

HECTOR
Oh-ho!

ANNIE
What? Like real camping.

NICK
Uh.

BRIDGET
Why don’t we do it?

HECTOR
Do what?

BRIDGET
Let’s go camping!

NICK
We haven’t got a tent.

ANNIE
Well, Hector can get us a tent from the National Camping Exhibition.

NICK
Huh?

ANNIE
Well isn’t tomorrow the last day of the exhibition?

HECTOR
Yeah.
ANNIE
And you and Eunice will be doing another report!

HECTOR
Yeah!!

ANNIE
Well then, you can buy a tent and come home early.
Oh, you’ll miss your drinks after work. Shame!

Slapping noise

HECTOR
Oh!

Sound of door slamming

NICK [Composing email]
Hector must be careful.
I think Eunice is after him.

HECTOR
What do you think of Eunice?

NICK [Composing email]
And he likes it!

NICK
I see trouble ahead.

NICK [Composing email]
And Bridget and Annie have been showing us what they did in the Brownies.
First Aid, for example.

ANNIE
Lie down please, Hector.

NICK [Composing email]
Huh! That’s for girls. Not like the Scouts.

NICK
That’s not a salute. This is a salute.

ANNIE [Composing email]
This afternoon Bridget and I gave the boys a survival test.

ANNIE
Ready for your survival test, boys?

NICK
Certainly am.

HECTOR
Ah-huh.

ANNIE [Composing email]
Test number one: are they afraid of worms?

BRIDGET
Worms!!

NICK & HECTOR
Ah!! Ah!

ANNIE [Composing email]
Test number two. Could they eat anything in order to survive?

ANNIE & BRIDGET
Beetles!

ANNIE [Composing email]
Test number three: pain!

NICK
Aagh!

ANNIE [Composing email]
Hector is going to get us a tent from the National Camping Exhibition … and then we will really go camping!

BRIDGET
Let’s go camping!

ANNIE [Composing email]
We’ll see who the real men are!

HECTOR
In the jungle it is going to be different.

Crashing noise

HECTOR
Oh, shush … shush-shush, you will wake Annie. Shush! Hey, I have an idea. I must show you to Annie. Shh, shh. You know, I have a better idea. Ha-ha-ha! Come, come!
Come, you too, come, come.

Sound of door slamming/sound of clanging tent poles

HECTOR
Nick!

NICK
Ah!

HECTOR
Nick, wake up!

NICK
Oh, no more beetles! Ah! Hector?!

HECTOR
Nick.

NICK
What’s going on?

HECTOR
I’ve got it.

Got what?

HECTOR
The tent!

NICK
Oh, that’s nice.

HECTOR
Come on, let’s put it up.

NICK
What?

HECTOR
The tent!

NICK
Oh, Hector! Have you seen the time?

HECTOR
No.

NICK
It’s three o’clock in the morning!

HECTOR
Is it?

NICK
Yeah.

HECTOR
Really?

NICK
But wait a minute. Where have you been?

HECTOR
For a couple of beers – and a dance.

NICK
What’s that on your collar?

HECTOR
Paint.

NICK
Oh, pink paint. Nice.

HECTOR
When Annie wakes up, she is going to be cross with me.

NICK
If she sees that on your collar, she will be. Have you been dancing with Eunice?

HECTOR
Ye-es

NICK
[Makes whistling noise]
You are dead!

HECTOR
But, when Annie sees that I bought the tent, she is going to forgive me.

NICK
At three o’clock in the morning?!

HECTOR
Late night shopping!

Sound of door opening and closing

NICK
Sssh!

Crashing noise/sound of Charley growling

HECTOR
It is OK, Charley, it is me, Hector.

NICK
Where shall we put it?

HECTOR
HERE!
[Whispering] Here, in the middle.

NICK
Guy ropes.

HECTOR
Ha? What? Guy Ropes, who is he?

NICK
No. Guy ropes. Ropes called guy ropes.

HECTOR
Oh, somewhere here …

NICK
Ah!

HECTOR
Hey, look …

NICK
That’s them …

HECTOR
Ah-hah!

NICK
Tie them to the furniture.

HECTOR
Aha.

Assorted rustling noises

HECTOR
There, that is it.

NICK
Right, let’s go to bed.

Sound of door opening and closing

ANNIE
Oh! What, what’s this? Who put that there?!

HECTOR
Hi Annie, I’ve bought you a tent.

BRIDGET
What is going on?

HECTOR
Well, do you like your tent? Eh?

NICK
Anyone for camping? Ah!

Assorted howling noises

ANNIE
Oh, it’s so cold!

HECTOR
I’ll warm you up.

ANNIE
Did somebody say something?

BRIDGET
I want a hot drink!
We can’t even make a fire!

ANNIE
And there’s no water left!

NICK
How long have we been here?

BRIDGET
Oh, it feels like ages!

Assorted rustling noises

BRIDGET
It’s so creepy.

ANNIE
Yeah. Very creepy.

HECTOR
[Snoring loudly]

ANNIE
Oh, are you tired, Hector? Did you have another LATE NIGHT with Eunice?!

BRIDGET
So who’s going to go outside and get us some water.

ANNIE
Well I won’t.

BRIDGET
Well I won’t either.

NICK
Oh all right, I’ll go, but if I’m not back in ten minutes, you can have my Action Man collection.

BRIDGET
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Off you go.

NICK
Uh-uh, oh!

Sound of howling/rustling noises

Narrative

Christmas music

ANNIE
Mmm. I love this time of year! Sleigh bells, mince pies, presents under the tree!

HECTOR
What? Easter?

ANNIE
No, silly! Christmas!

HECTOR
Oh!!

ANNIE
I’m going to show you what a traditional English Christmas is like, starting with – mistletoe.

HECTOR
Mistle-toe?

ANNIE
It’s an English tradition.
When you stand under it, you can kiss someone.

HECTOR
But – I am not under any mistletoe.

ANNIE
You are now.

HECTOR
Oh-ho-ho!!

BRIDGET
Oh, you poor things! You’re stuck together again. Don’t worry, I can help! There, panic over!
Right, I’m off.

ANNIE
What? Another television party?

BRIDGET
Not a party, three more parties. And that’s just tonight.

ANNIE
But you’ve been to a Christmas party every night for two weeks!

BRIDGET
I know, it’s so difficult being so popular. First, there’s a champagne party at the Savoy, then at nine o’clock I’ll get a taxi to the Ritz and get changed on the way.
HECTOR
What? In the taxi?

BRIDGET
Naturally.

HECTOR
Ho-ho-ho.

BRIDGET
And then at eleven thirty I’ll get a taxi to Annabel’s.

HECTOR
Annabel, who is she?

BRIDGET
Annabel’s, the night club.

HECTOR
Will you change your clothes in the taxi again?!

BRIDGET
And there I hope I will meet a young, handsome man, an early Christmas present!

Sound of door slamming

NICK
I hate Christmas!

BRIDGET
Did you have a bad day at the grotto dear?

NICK
Ha-hmm!

ANNIE
Nick, is that snow?

NICK
No.

ANNIE
Well, what’s that on your beard then?

NICK
I was holding this baby – coo-goo-goo-goo, when suddenly – ergh! Ha, Christmas!

ANNIE
But children love Christmas.

NICK
Hmm.

BRIDGET
Is the money good?

NICK
N-Yeah.

BRIDGET
Well, stop complaining then!

NICK
S-sss!

ANNIE
Hector and I are going to have a lovely Christmas, aren’t we Hector.

HECTOR
Mmm.

BRIDGET
Christmas is all about parties and PRESENTS!

ANNIE
So Bridget, have you got your Christmas stocking ready?

HECTOR
Ha! She’s taking her stockings off in the taxi!

NICK
Ahh! Ha-hmm-hmm.

BRIDGET
… Don’t wait up.

Sound of door closing

HECTOR
Erm, what is a Christmas stocking?

ANNIE
On Christmas Eve, you hang up your Christmas stocking and a big, jolly Father Christmas comes and fills it up with presents!

NICK
Ho-ho-ho.

Crashing noise/scream

BRIDGET
Who put that sleigh there?!!

NICK
Ooh! My sleigh! I forgot. Oh-oh-oh!

Sound of running footsteps/door slams/Christmas music

BRIDGET
Mind my leg. Oh!!

Assorted background noises

BRIDGET
Right, right. Whoa-whoa, not too fast! Oh, I feel terrible!

ANNIE
Oh, poor Bridget, are you in pain?

BRIDGET
No, but what about the parties? I can’t go like this!

NICK
I could take you dancing!

BRIDGET
Ow!!
Christmas is cancelled!

Sound of cracker being pulled

NICK
Hey, hee-hee-hee!

HECTOR
Is that it?

NICK
Yeah, crackers are great!

HECTOR
So, what else do you have at Christmas?

NICK
Oh, turkey, Christmas pudding, mince pies.

HECTOR
Mince pies.
How do you make them?

NICK
Oh, it’s just pastry and mincemeat.

HECTOR
Mince meat?

NICK
Yeah, it’s traditional, it’s sultanas, raisins and spices. It’s mince …

HECTOR
… Meat.

NICK
Yeah, ah-hah … Hey, listen to this, what do you get if you cross a chicken with a clock?

HECTOR
I don’t know.
NICK
An alarm cluck!
An alarm cluck! Ha-ha!

HECTOR
I don’t get it.

NICK
An alarm cluck! Cluck-cluck-cluck, one a cluck, two a cluck, cluck-cluck-cluck!

HECTOR
A clock?!

Christmas music

ANNIE [Composing email]
Oh, I love Christmas. Mince pies, mistletoe.

HECTOR
Mistle-toe?

ANNIE
It’s an English tradition, when you stand under it, you can kiss someone.

ANNIE [Composing email]
Poor Nick is having a difficult time playing Father Christmas.

NICK
I was holding this baby – coo-goo-goo-goo, when suddenly … !

ANNIE [Composing email]
Those naughty children! He-he-he!

BRIDGET [Composing email]
I hate Christmas! I had so many exciting parties to go to.

BRIDGET
It’s so difficult being so popular.

BRIDGET [Composing email]
But stupid Nick left his stupid sleigh in the hall.

NICK
Oh, my sleigh! I forgot!

BRIDGET [Composing email]
I fell over it and broke my leg!

Crashing noise/scream

Boom-dikka-ding-boom-ding-ding-ding – right, mince pies!
First, the pastry! And now the minced meat from the best butcher!

Christmas music

HECTOR
Mmm, they smell good, don’t they Charley.

Sound of door opening/closing

ANNIE
Phew! Well I’ve finished all my Christmas shopping.

HECTOR
Oh madam! Refreshment? Mince pie?

ANNIE
Mince pies? Oh Hector, you are clever.

HECTOR
I followed the rec-eep.

ANNIE
… ‘p’.

HECTOR
Mince ‘p’?

ANNIE
No, no, no. Rec-ipe.

HECTOR
Oh, rec-ipe.

ANNIE
Mmm.

HECTOR
Hmm.

ANNIE
Umm.

HECTOR
Good choice, madam. Merry Christmas!

ANNIE
Yuk!!

HECTOR
Something wrong?

ANNIE
It’s dal-icious, delicious ahm. Erm, you know, Hector, Christmas is all about sharing. Erm, would you like some, Charley?

ANNIE & HECTOR
Hmm/Mmm/Umm.

ANNIE
Hey, it’s Saint Nicholas!

NICK
Oh!

HECTOR
Nick, what happened to your beard?

NICK
Ah, one Christmas candle, one small child – woomph!

Laughter

NICK
Hey, mince pies, yummy, yeah!

HECTOR
With best mince from the best butcher. Mmm.

ANNIE
Erm, Hector.

HECTOR
Hmm?

ANNIE
What did you put in the pies?

HECTOR
Mince meat – from the best butcher.

ANNIE
This is mincemeat. This is minced meat.

HECTOR
Isn’t it the same thing?

ANNIE
Not quite.

NICK
Ha-ha! Delicious!

ANNIE
Hey, I’ve got an idea! Let’s make this a special Christmas, just for Bridget.

Sound of knocking on door/Christmas music

MALE NURSE
Night-night.

ANNIE
Hey Bridget, do you want to come carol singing?
HECTOR
Who is Carol?

ANNIE
Carols are Christmas songs. You knock on people’s doors and sing to them for money.

NICK
Let’s do it! Hmm!

ANNIE
For charity!
For poor little children.

NICK
Huh!

ANNIE
Some children have no Christmas.

BRIDGET
Just like me.

ANNIE
And your job as Santa Claus is so important.
You help children to believe in Christmas!

NICK
Yes, you’re right, Annie, I do.
My job is important! I help children to believe!!

Christmas music

ANNIE
Right, let’s go!

BRIDGET
I’ll go, only if we can sing Abba songs.

HECTOR
And that will make you happy? Here, have a mince pie.

BRIDGET
Oh, all right.

Christmas music

BRIDGET
Ugh!

BRIDGET, HECTOR, ANNIE & NICK
“Away in a manger …”

Oh thank you, it’s nearly finished.

Oh, sweet, Hector. Are they from Argentina?

HECTOR
No, Oxford Street. Aren’t they great!

ANNIE
Oh, great.

Sound of door opening/closing

ANNIE
Oh, hi Nick. How was your last day as Santa Claus?

NICK
Great! Such nice children. One of them let me play with his binoculars!
ANNIE
Really.

NICK
Oh, and I’ve just finished my Christmas shopping.

ANNIE
But the shops are shut now.

NICK
No, the petrol station was open. Look I’ve bought my mum this.

HECTOR
A map of Watford.

ANNIE
But your mum doesn’t live in Watford.

NICK
Oh I know. She might go there one day, though! I bought shampoo for my sister.

HECTOR
Car shampoo.

NICK
Yeah, and after shave for my dad. Ha-ha-ha! Mmm.
I like the tree. Ooh, but I love these! Hey, I’ve got some too, it was the last day of the grotto today, so they were throwing these away. Ha-ha, can you believe it! Ha-ha!

Christmas music

ANNIE
No!

Christmas music

HECTOR & NICK
Perfect.

ANNIE
Well, it might make Bridget laugh.

HECTOR
Why?

ANNIE
I know, if Bridget can’t go to her parties, let’s have a party here!

NICK
When?

ANNIE
Oh, I don’t know. In about fifteen minutes!

BRIDGET
Oh! Oh! Look at the Christmas tree!

ANNIE
I know. It makes me want to cry too.

BRIDGET
What’s the point of having Christmas if I can’t go to my Christmas party?! Now Christmas just makes me cry!

HECTOR
Oh, Bridget, cheer up. Tomorrow is Christmas Day.

BRIDGET
[Sound of crying]

HECTOR
Have you got your stocking?

BRIDGET
Yes.

NICK
Hah, yes, and I’ve got mine!

ANNIE
What are you hoping for? A motor bike?

NICK
Ye-es! Why not?

BRIDGET
The only thing that will make this Christmas worse is if you invited all my friends round for a surprise party to cheer me up.

Sound of knocking on door

ANNIE
Ah.

ASSORTED VOICES
Surprise!!

BRIDGET
Oh!!

ANNIE [Composing email]
Hector made us mince pies.

HECTOR
And now the mince meat, from the best butcher!

ANNIE [Composing email]
The problem is, he used minced meat, instead of mincemeat.

ANNIE
Yuk!

ANNIE [Composing email]
Oh well! He did try!

HECTOR
They smell good, don’t they Charley.

HECTOR, NICK, BRIDGET & ANNIE

I’m sorry, Bridget, wrong label. It was meant for Charley!

NICK
Hah! Is she sure it was meant for Charley?! Ha-ha! “To Bridget, from Hector.” Ooh!

BRIDGET
Oh thank you Hector, you shouldn’t have. What to Wear at Christmas Parties. Oh!!

HECTOR
I bought it before you …

BRIDGET
I’ve got a little something for you, Nick.

NICK
Whoo-hoo, goody! ‘Gorilla – because you are the original man.’ Whoo, ha-ha, it smells like a gorilla.

Ooh, I wonder what this could be. Ah.

BRIDGET
Erm, Eunice.

EUNICE MOUNTAIN

Before you go, have a mince pie. Nick.

TV VOICE OVER
It’s time for Can You Live Without … And here’s someone you just can’t live without – it’s MARTY!!

MARTY ROSS [Speaking via hidden camera]
But what Sharon doesn’t realise is we’ve got a camera in the bathroom. Ha-ha-ha!!

ANNIE
Oh, that’s disgusting!
She must know that we can see her!

HECTOR
Ooh, I think it is quite clever!

MARTY ROSS [Speaking via hidden camera]
But what are Paul and Mandy doing in the living room?

BRIDGET
They’re kissing.
They’re kissing.

NICK
They’re not kissing, they’re whispering.

BRIDGET
What? Do you call this whispering?

NICK
Aaah! Let’s think of another name for it!

BRIDGET
Paul and Mandy said they could live without kissing for twenty four hours, and look – they’ve failed!

MARTY ROSS [Speaking via hidden camera]
And Paul and Mandy lose points for that. We’ve caught them kissing – see you after the break!

VOICE OVER/ADVERTISEMENT
Can You Live Without is sponsored by Clouds Toilet Tissue.

ANNIE
Well, I couldn’t live without kissing Hector for twenty four hours.

BRIDGET
Why don’t you try?

ANNIE
Hector! I wish you’d stop chewing gum!

HECTOR
I’m not chewing.

ANNIE
Yes you are! You’re always chewing.

HECTOR
No … ooh-ooh.

ANNIE
I bet you couldn’t stop chewing gum for twenty four hours.

HECTOR
Well yes I could, and anyway you suck your thumb.

ANNIE
I do not.
Well, only when I’m stressed.

NICK
Hey! I’ve had an idea!

ANNIE & BRIDGET
Oh no!

NICK
… We could be contestants on – Can You Live Without …?

ASSORTED SPEAKERS
Oh/ah/hmm/oh.

NICK
We could do it.
It’s just twenty four hours of giving up our favourite things! It would be easy! Think of the prize money!

BRIDGET
And Marty Ross presents it.
He would come to my apartment again!

HECTOR, ANNIE & NICK
Oh no!

BRIDGET
Oh Marty, he’s got such good taste.

MARTY ROSS [Flashback to previous episode]
And this is fantastic – original.

ANNIE
So what happened to Marty?

BRIDGET
Oh, he said he needed time away from me to really appreciate me.

NICK
Oh, so he dumped you then.

BRIDGET
He did not! Ow!!

ANNIE
Anyway, Bridget, are you feeling persuasive?

BRIDGET
Of course, I’m always feeling persuasive.

ANNIE
Well, it’s time to persuade Marty that we want to go on Can You Live Without … And then Marty can make it happen.

BRIDGET
I’ll try.
Loud thumping noise

NICK
Ow!!!

Mr Ross to Studio B please.

Hello Marty.

MARTY ROSS
Hello.
Ah, erm, …

BRIDGET
Bridget!

MARTY ROSS
Bridget?

BRIDGET
Bridget, Eunice’s researcher!
We had dinner last month.

MARTY ROSS
Oh, that Bridget, erm, what do you want?

BRIDGET
I’ve got something to say.

MARTY ROSS
Well, I’m not the father!

BRIDGET
… Oh no! Nothing like that!

MARTY ROSS
Oh well, what is it then?

BRIDGET
My friends and I want to be contestants on Can You Live Without …

MARTY ROSS
Oh, I wish I could help you, but it’s not my decision, it’s the producer’s. Now, I must go.

BRIDGET
Erm, you can’t help me.
Well that’s a shame.

MARTY ROSS
Yes it is.

BRIDGET
Because I’d hate for the newspapers to see this. Ah-huh. Or this. Hmm.

MARTY ROSS
Where did you get them?

BRIDGET
Hah! Don’t you remember? I’m Eunice’s researcher.
I research! Oh, I wish I could help you, but it’s not my decision, it’s the newspapers’.

MARTY ROSS
All right, all right. I’ll see what I can do.

ANNIE [Composing email]
I love the TV show Can You Live Without …

ANNIE
It’s time to persuade Marty that we want to go on Can You Live Without …

ANNIE [Composing email]
I think Bridget, Nick, Hector and I should go on it.
Sometimes I wonder whether Hector can live without chewing gum!

ANNIE
Hector, I wish you’d stop chewing gum!

BRIDGET [Composing email]
Guess what! I persuaded Marty Ross to get us on Can You Live Without …

BRIDGET
… Because I’d hate for the newspapers to see this. Ah-hah. Or this.

BRIDGET [Composing email]
If we can live without our favourite things, we’ll win a super holiday.

NICK
We could do it! It’s just twenty four hours of giving up our favourite things!

BRIDGET [Composing email]
It will be easy for me, but I don’t know about the others.

Loud thumping noise

NICK
Ow!!

TV VOICE OVER

Hello darlings!
Do you want to spend the next twenty four hours with me?!

Correct answer! Yes, let’s see what the people who live – here, can live without.
But huh, it looks like they live without anything, anyway!
Now, let’s meet the contestants

Sound of cheering/applause

MARTY ROSS
You first, pretty lady, what’s your name?

BRIDGET
Oh, you already know my name, Marty.

MARTY ROSS
Hah-hah-hah, we have a pretty joker here!
Don’t get smart, sweetie, this is my show, photo or no photo.

BRIDGET
Erm, Bridget.

MARTY ROSS
Good luck, Bridget.

Applause/sound of wolf whistles

MARTY ROSS
… And who do we have here?

ANNIE
Hello. My name is Annie and I’m Hector’s girlfriend – and I love Charley, erm, my, my dog.

MARTY ROSS
So, which one could you live without?
ANNIE
Oh, erm …

MARTY ROSS
Ha-ha, enough said! Ha-ha-ha-ha!

Sound of applause

MARTY ROSS
And this is Hector. So, Hector, Annie loves her dog more than you, ha-ha-ha-ha!
Mind you, Hector does sound like a dog’s name, doesn’t it! Here Hector, here boy! Oh-oh, don’t bite!
And, last of all and least of all, ha-ha-ha-ha, it’s erm, hello, is anybody there? I know, you’re a fish, ha-ha-ha-ha!

NICK
Ahm, hi … [sound of Nick clearing his throat/stumbling over words] … Erm, Nick.

MARTY ROSS
Hi, N-N-Nick! And what do you like?

NICK
[sound of Nick stumbling over words]

MARTY ROSS
Bananas!

NICK
Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba …

MARTY ROSS
Baboons, you like baboons! You are a baboon then!
You’re a small baboon!

NICK
Ba-ba-ba …

MARTY ROSS
… It’s not baboons. You like b-babes!

NICK
B-irds …

MARTY ROSS
Sorry, this is Nick and he likes babes.

Sound of applause

MARTY ROSS
Well, let’s get on with it.
As usual, each of these contestants has picked one thing that their flatmates cannot live without for twenty four hours!
Bridget – you must live without chocolate [ah!] mirrors [ah!] and makeup! [Ahh!]

Sound of applause

MARTY ROSS
Annie, you must live without touching Hector, sucking your thumb and most of all, you must live without Charley!

Sound of applause

MARTY ROSS
Hector, you must live without – touching Annie and chewing gum.

Sound of applause

MARTY ROSS
Nick, you must live without talking about babes, or talking about motorbikes! And all of you must live without television, magazines and music – twenty four hours of living without starts now!!

Sound of applause

MARTY ROSS
Come on, Charley. You’re coming with me.

Sound of Charley whining

MARTY ROSS
Don’t forget – I’ll be watching!

Sound of applause

NICK
No television!

ANNIE & BRIDGET
Aah!

BRIDGET
No touching. If you touch, we lose points and we won’t win a big prize. Aaah!!
No makeup, what must I look like? Ah!!

ANNIE
Ah-ah-ah-ah, and no mirrors!

NICK
[Makes baboon-type noises]

MARTY ROSS [Speaking via hidden camera]
Ha-ha-ha-ha! Look at that guy, he looks like a monkey at the zoo! So how will they do? Top points could mean a holiday in the Caribbean!
But- if they fail they lose points and their prize holiday could be this!
Of course we might give them one or two temptations to make interesting television.
Join me after the break!

NICK [Composing email]
So, Bridget has to live without make-up, mirrors and chocolate.

BRIDGET
Aah!

NICK [Composing email]
Annie mustn’t suck her thumb and Hector must stop chewing gum. Oh, Hector and Annie mustn’t touch each other.

MARTY ROSS
You must live without touching Hector.

NICK [Composing email]
Me? I mustn’t talk about babes and motorbikes.

MARTY ROSS
Nick, you must live without talking about babes, or talking about motor bikes.

NICK [Composing email]
That doesn’t stop me dreaming about them, though!

MARTY ROSS
Twenty four hours of living without starts now!

NICK
I think it’s going to rain.

ANNIE
Do you?

HECTOR
I agree.

NICK
Manchester United are doing well.

ANNIE
Are they?

HECTOR
I agree.

NICK
I think it’s going to rain.

BRIDGET
Weather and football, is that all you can talk about?

NICK
No, well yesterday I met this really cute b…

ANNIE, HECTOR & BRIDGET
Aaah!

ANNIE
Don’t say it! Do not talk about babes or motorbikes!

HECTOR
Hey!

ANNIE
Careful!

MARTY ROSS [Speaking via hidden camera]
Bridget, no mirrors, you lose ten points!

BRIDGET
But it’s not a mirror, it’s a kettle!

MARTY ROSS [Speaking via hidden camera]
Don’t argue! You lose another ten points!

MARTY ROSS [Speaking via hidden camera]
Well, it’s all quiet now! Ha-ha-ha! What about some temptation!

BRIDGET
Hector, what is in your mouth?

HECTOR
Nothing.

ANNIE
Are you chewing gum, Hector?

HECTOR
No.

BRIDGET
No he’s not. He’s chewing this!

ANNIE

BRIDGET
That was from the Red Sea, it cost a lot of money.
Ah! Grr! I could kill for some chocolate!

MARTY ROSS [Speaking via hidden camera]
Ha-ha-ha-ah! This should be fun!

BRIDGET [Reading note]
Bridget, I love the show, oh, love from, oh, Orlando Bloom! Ah! Ah! Orlando Bloom, watching me!
Oh, I hope you didn’t hear me say that! Ha-ha-ha-ha! What do I look like? Oh, what do I look like?! Oh!!

Sound of Charley whining

HECTOR
What are you doing, Annie?

ANNIE
Oh! I’m talking to Charley!
MARTY ROSS [Speaking via hidden camera]
Annie, you must live without Charley, you lose ten points! Ha-ha-ha!

ANNIE
What?!!

ANNIE
Hector, don’t move!

HECTOR
What is it?

ANNIE
It, it’s OK, just don’t move!

HECTOR
I’m not going anywhere!

MARTY ROSS [Speaking via hidden camera]
Ooh, what Hector doesn’t know is that we’ve put that spider on his jumper! Ooh, this is wonderful TV!

ANNIE
Oh, think, think! Ah, one minute! Ah-ha! That’s better.
Now, we’ll just brush this little fellow off.

HECTOR
Don’t touch it!

ANNIE
It’s, it’s OK.
I’m sure it’s not poisonous!

HECTOR
How do you know?
Anyway, if you touch me, we will lose points!

NICK
[Making kissing noises]
Thank you, thank you – oh – mmm – prrr- prrr –prrr!
Yeah! [Sound of kissing] … … … Ah!

ANNIE
OK. Now – stay still! Hah!

HECTOR
Oh, oh-oh!!

ANNIE
Don’t move!
Hang on a minute!

HECTOR
Oh!

ANNIE
Hector! This is a toy!

HECTOR
Oh, ha-ha-ha! I knew that!

ANNIE
Oh Hector, you were so funny! Marty has played a trick on us!

HECTOR
Yeah, very funny!

MARTY ROSS [Speaking via hidden camera]
Ooh! Who’s a cross boy?! Things are getting really hot now and they’ve still got over twelve hours to go!

ANNIE
You know Hector, I really think we can do this! We can win that holiday!

HECTOR
Mmm.

BRIDGET
Hello Annie.

ANNIE
Bridget, what are you doing in there?

BRIDGET
I’m erm, just reading the electricity meter.

ANNIE
Come here.
And why are you wearing dark glasses?

BRIDGET
I don’t want Orlando to see me without make-up.

ANNIE
Bridget! Is that chocolate?!

BRIDGET
Erm, no! Oh!
But they’re from Orlando! Oh!

MARTY ROSS [Speaking via hidden camera]
Ha-ha-ha, no chocolate, Bridget, you lose one hundred points!

Sound of motorbike revving

NICK
Nick has entered the building!

BRIDGET
Nick!
MARTY ROSS [Speaking via hidden camera]
Yes! Annie and Hector touched, they lose two hundred points!

ANNIE
What?!

HECTOR
It was an accident!

MARTY ROSS [Speaking via hidden camera]
Ha-ha-ha! And best of all Nick, you can’t live without motorbikes! So you lose five hundred points!

BRIDGET
No, no, no, no! You said, no talking about motorbikes, actually, big nose!

NICK
Yeah, Marty, so thanks for the present, you can keep your holiday! Hah!

MARTY ROSS [Speaking via hidden camera]
What?! You can’t do that!

NICK
Baby, fancy a ride?

BRIDGET
Ye-ah!
Oh Hector, this is for Marty, or should I say – Martina!

Sound of laughter

NICK
So Marty, if you want the bike, come and get it!

HECTOR
Sorry Marty, we can live without you!
Goodbye! Oh, and Marty I think your audience will love this picture of you!

Narrative

Sound of knocking on door

DETECTIVE HUNT
Bridget Evans? Annie Taylor? Detective David Hunt from the Metropolitan Police. Could I have a word with you, please?

ANNIE
So we went to the restaurant and it was a very good vegetarian restaurant and I had the peppers and Hector had the mushrooms, which was very nice because Hector doesn’t like mushrooms, so I said to him that it was good for him to try.

BRIDGET
Annie!

ANNIE
Oh, and then afterwards, we went for a lovely walk and it was such a beautiful evening, and the birds were singing…

BRIDGET
Annie! Will you shut up!

ANNIE
Sorry.

BRIDGET
You have been talking non-stop for twenty minutes.

ANNIE
I know. It’s, it’s because I’m doing a sponsored silence for the charity Pigs With No Parents.

BRIDGET
Sponsored silence. So why are you talking?

ANNIE
Well, it doesn’t start till 10 o’clock so if I talk a lot now, then I won’t have to talk later. Anyway, what’s wrong with your mouth?

BRIDGET
Oh, er, nothing.

ANNIE
Have you got a spot? Oh! I’ll call an ambulance.

BRIDGET
No, but I am going to see my beautician later.

ANNIE
What for?
BRIDGET
Oh, just for a check-up.

ANNIE
A check-up? But you go to the dentist for a check-up, for your teeth.

BRIDGET
Exactly. I’m going to the beautician’s to check…

ANNIE
Check that you’re beautiful?

BRIDGET
Of course not. I don’t have to check I’m beautiful, do I.

NICK
Oooh!

HECTOR
Hey, Nick, do you like my new clothes, huh? Nick!

NICK
Ohhhhhh!

HECTOR
Nick! What is the matter? You can tell me. Oh, you have a toothache. Then if you have a toothache, you must go to the den…..

NICK
Aaaarrrghhh!

HECTOR
Can’t I say the word ‘den….? OK, I won’t say the ‘D’ word. I call him, erm, plumber. OK, so when did you last see the plumber?

NICK
Ah-ah?

HECTOR
That’s not too bad, five months ago.
Five years ago? No?
When you were five years old?

NICK
Ah-ah-ah.

HECTOR
Whoo-hoo-hoo. It’s going to be a big job. He’ll need a big drill. Come on! The girls must know a good plumber. Come on! Do you want a sweetie? Do you want a sweetie? Uh-uh-uh, sweets are bad for your teeth. Come on.

NICK
Ah-ah-ah!

HECTOR
Oh, hi, sugar-plum.

ANNIE
Hello, snuggly-puppykins. Ooh! Nice clothes. New?

HECTOR
Yeah, thanks.

ANNIE
Is Nick rehearsing for the pantomime?

HECTOR
No, he has a toothache so he must see the plumber.

ANNIE
No, no, no, Hector. For a toothache, he must see the dentist.

NICK
Whaaaaahhhh!

HECTOR
Shh, shh, shh! I know that, but Nick doesn’t like the ‘D’ word.

ANNIE
Oh, dentist.

NICK
Ah-ah-ah!

HECTOR
So I’m calling the dentist a plumber. So do you know a good plumber?

BRIDGET
A plumber? What for?

ANNIE
Nick has toothache.

BRIDGET
Well, he doesn’t need a plumber. He needs a dentist.

NICK
Aaah!

Sound of dentist’s drill

ANNIE
Yes, Hector, we have the number of a very good plumber – Julian.

BRIDGET
Oh, Julian! He’s so gentle.

ANNIE
He’s so married! Oh, hi, Julian. Listen, we have an emergency here. What are the symptoms? Oh, shaking, squealing…, yeah, just a toothache.
You can? Oh, thank you! Bye!
Sorted. He’ll see Nick now.

HECTOR
OK, come on, Nick. Come on. Come on, Nick. Come on, Nick.
Assorted groaning noises/sound of door slamming

BRIDGET
Julian looked in my mouth once. He said, “Bridget, you’ve got wonderful teeth.”

ANNIE
With a mouth that big, I’m surprised he didn’t fall in!
Sound of telephone ringing

BRIDGET
Hello? Who’s this? Bernard?

BRIDGET [In flashback]
Oh! Hello, Bernard.

ANNIE
Oh, hello, Bernard. You’ve been what? Robbed? When? When you were in the bath? All your clothes? And your keys? Oh, poor Bernard. Listen, you must call the police, OK? OK. Bye.
Poor Bernard. It’s ten o’clock! My sponsored silence starts now.

NICK [Composing email]
Oh, I’ve got a toothache. I don’t want to go to the – dentist, but Hector says I must go.

HECTOR
He’ll need a big drill.

NICK
Arrrghhh!

HECTOR
Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta!!! Ha-ha-ha-ha!

NICK
Owwww!

ANNIE [Composing email]
This morning I started my sponsored silence for the charity Pigs With No Parents.

ANNIE
If I talk a lot now, then I won’t have to talk later.

ANNIE [Composing email]
I won’t have to speak, because Bridget has gone to see a beautician.

ANNIE
Have you got a spot?

ANNIE [Composing email]
Oh!! It was urgent!!

ANNIE
I’ll call an ambulance!

ANNIE [Composing email]
You won’t believe this, but our neighbour Bernard has had all his clothes stolen.

ANNIE
All your clothes? And your keys?

ANNIE [Composing email]
I wonder who could have done such a terrible thing?
Poor Bernard! I told him he must call the police.

Sound of knocking on door

DETECTIVE HUNT
Bridget Evans? Annie Taylor? Detective David Hunt from the Metropolitan Police. Could I have a word with you, please? Why not? You can’t speak, I’m sorry. Oh, you can speak.
Are you trying to be funny with me, young lady? I no speak for, hmm, one word, three syllables. First syllable – sit. Seat? Chair? Second syllable – A, E, I, I, Tea. Chair-I-Tea. Chair-i-tea?
You’re being silent for charity! Ah, but which charity? Cow? Dog? Cat?
Pig? Got it! Pigs Without Parents!

HECTOR
Is this man bothering you, Annie? Because if he is, I am going to show him some Argentinean….

DETECTIVE HUNT
Detective David Hunt of the Metropolitan Police.

HECTOR
…respect.

DETECTIVE HUNT
And you are?

HECTOR
Hector Romero.

DETECTIVE HUNT
Ah, I suspect you’re not English, eh?

HECTOR
He is a very good detective.

NICK
Ha-ha-ha!

DETECTIVE HUNT
And you are?

NICK
[ …Unintelligible …]
HECTOR
He’s just been to see the plumber.

DETECTIVE HUNT
The plumber?

HECTOR
Yes, he had a toothache.

DETECTIVE HUNT
But you don’t go to the plumber when you’ve got a toothache.
You go to the den….

HECTOR
Biscuit?

DETECTIVE HUNT
Den….
Anyway, I’m here to investigate a robbery of Bernard Reynolds.

HECTOR
Huh! Somebody has stolen Bernard!

NICK
Ha-ha-ha-ha!!

DETECTIVE HUNT
It’s not a robbery. Bernard Reynolds’ clothes!

HECTOR
Oh, who would want Bernard’s clothes?

DETECTIVE HUNT
So I’m investigating everybody in the building, because someone has stolen Bernard Reynolds’ clothes. Where were you last night?

HECTOR
I was with Annie. Annie?

DETECTIVE HUNT
Oh, it’s OK. She can’t speak for chair-I-tea! Anyway, what about Nwiff?

NICK
Huh? Well, I [Assorted noises].

HECTOR
Show me, Nick.

NICK
[Assorted noises].

HECTOR
Ah! I went to Leo’s Bar…

NICK
[Assorted noises].

HECTOR
I had a beer…

NICK
[Assorted noises].

HECTOR
There was a beautiful girl…

NICK
[Assorted noises].

HECTOR
And a motorbike?

DETECTIVE HUNT
You were with a young woman on a motorbike? Motorbike. Registration?

NICK
[Assorted noises].

DETECTIVE HUNT
Name of the young woman?

NICK
[Assorted noises].

HECTOR
Oh, he wasn’t with her.

DETECTIVE HUNT
Ah! The young woman was on television on a motorbike!

HECTOR & NICK
[Assorted noises].

DETECTIVE HUNT
I saw that! Very nice! Gee, I’m getting good at this.

ANNIE [Composing email]
Anyway, I was being silent and there was a knock on the door.

Sound of knocking on door

DETECTIVE HUNT
Bridget Evans? Annie Taylor?

ANNIE [Composing email]
It was a policeman, a detective!

DETECTIVE HUNT
Detective David Hunt from the Metropolitan Police. Could I have a word with you, please?
ANNIE [Composing email]
Unfortunately, I could not speak, because of my sponsored silence.

DETECTIVE HUNT
Chair-i-Tea?

ANNIE [Composing email]
And worse still, I had to tell him why.

DETECTIVE HUNT
Got it! ‘Pigs Without Parents!’

NICK
Oh!!

NICK [Composing email]
When Hector and I came back from the dentist – [oww!] – a policeman was waiting for us. He wanted to know where I was last night. [Uh-oh!] … .. .. …. Huh? Oh, well, I … … … .. Ow!
Anyway, Hector managed to translate for me, unfortunately!

DETECTIVE HUNT
Motorbike. Registration?

NICK
[Assorted noises].

DETECTIVE HUNT
Name of the young woman?

NICK
[Assorted noises].
Sound of knocking on door

BERNARD REYNOLDS
Oh, there you are!

DETECTIVE HUNT
Oh, hello, Mr Reynolds.

BERNARD REYNOLDS
Well, have you caught them?

DETECTIVE HUNT
Who?

BERNARD REYNOLDS
The robbers.
The robbers who stole my clothes.

DETECTIVE HUNT
Ah, yes. My investigations are going very well.

BERNARD REYNOLDS
[Makes loud sneezing noise]

HECTOR
Oh, you have a cold, Bernard? Oh, you need some clothes?

BERNARD REYNOLDS
What a week!
First Mum went away to play bingo all weekend!

HECTOR
Bingo?

NICK
[Assorted noises].

BERNARD REYNOLDS
Two fat ladies, 88.

NICK
[Assorted noises].

BERNARD REYNOLDS
Clickety-click, 66. Well, anyway, and then someone stole my clothes.

DETECTIVE HUNT
Bingo!

BERNARD REYNOLDS
Ah, Digestives! My favourite.
Sound of door opening

DETECTIVE HUNT
Aha! You must be Miss Evans.

HECTOR
And this is Sherlock Holmes!

DETECTIVE HUNT
Bridget, I’d like to ask you a few questions.

BRIDGET
Bernard’s wearing my dressing gown! What are you staring at?

HECTOR
Nothing.

NICK
[Assorted noises].

DETECTIVE HUNT
Is there something wrong with your top lip?

BRIDGET
No.

BERNARD REYNOLDS
Yes, there is. It’s bright red.
BRIDGET
It doesn’t show, does it?

HECTOR & BERNARD
No, no, no.

BRIDGET
They told me in the salon no one would notice! [Sound of Bridget blowing her nose]. Thank you.
I wanted perfect lips, but I didn’t have enough money, so a student did them.

HECTOR
What, a butcher student?

DETECTIVE HUNT
There, there. You’re still very pretty.

BRIDGET
Am I? Really?

DETECTIVE HUNT
Really. Where were you last night?

BRIDGET
Looking in the mirror.

DETECTIVE HUNT
All night?

BRIDGET
Yes, all night.

DETECTIVE HUNT
How can anyone spend all night looking at themselves in the mirror?

NICK
[Assorted noises].

HECTOR
Oh, Bridget would.

DETECTIVE HUNT
So let me summarise everybody’s alibis.
Annie is doing a sponsored silence for ‘Pigs With No Parents.’ She would not have had time to take Bernard’s clothes. And what’s more, Bernard’s clothes would be too big for her.
Hmm, Nwiff was watching ‘Babes and Bikes’ on television. I watched that too, so he may be telling the truth.
Bridget was looking at herself in the mirror all night. Huh! An unlikely story.
However, if I accuse her, she’ll start crying again and I can’t stand hysterical women.
Which brings me to Hector.
Hector’s wearing a terrible suit. It looks stolen.
Nobody would buy it, surely.
And his only alibi is Annie, and guess what?
She can’t speak!
But the clues do speak!
Hunt, you’re a genius!
I think that someone here is not telling the truth and I think that someone is you!

HECTOR
But I told you: I was with Annie.

DETECTIVE HUNT
Annie hasn’t said she was with you.

BERNARD REYNOLDS
That’s true.

HECTOR
She can’t speak. She is doing a sponsored silence for chair-I-tea.

DETECTIVE HUNT
It doesn’t matter. Did you go out at all?

HECTOR
Yes.

DETECTIVE HUNT
Where?

HECTOR
Shopping.

DETECTIVE HUNT
Shopping? For what?

HECTOR
Some new clothes.

DETECTIVE HUNT
These new clothes? Now let me get this straight. You need some new clothes and Mr Reynolds’ clothes have been stolen. So what does that tell me?

HECTOR
Yes, but I…

DETECTIVE HUNT
Why buy new clothes when you can steal somebody else’s?

BERNARD REYNOLDS
Yeah!

ANNIE
Oooh!! Do these look like Bernard’s clothes?

HECTOR, BRIDGET, NICK & DETECTIVE HUNT
Ooooh!!

BERNARD REYNOLDS
They could be. My colour.

ANNIE
Oh no! I spoke! You! You made me speak!

BRIDGET, NICK & HECTOR
Oooh!

Sound of telephone ringing

BRIDGET
Hello? Yes, he’s here. I’ll get him. Bernard? It’s your mother.

BERNARD REYNOLDS
Hello, Mum. You’re back. How was bingo?
Mum, someone stole my clothes.
Oh! Oh! Ah.

HECTOR & NICK
Ahhh.

BERNARD REYNOLDS
OK. Right, I’m off. Mum’s back.
She’s cooking my tea.

BRIDGET
Bernard, what about your clothes?

BERNARD REYNOLDS
It’s OK. She’s got them.

DETECTIVE HUNT
What?!

HECTOR
What?

NICK
What?

BERNARD REYNOLDS
She put them in the washing machine before she went to bingo.
HECTOR & NICK
Oh.

BERNARD REYNOLDS
Bye!

HECTOR
So Bernard’s clothes were in the washing machine all the time.

DETECTIVE HUNT
Well, yes, as I suspected. That’s another case solved. I’ll be off then.

ANNIE
Oh no you won’t.
DETECTIVE HUNT
What?!

ANNIE
You owe me £120 for ‘Pigs With No Parents.’ You made me speak.

DETECTIVE HUNT
Well, will dollars do?

NICK
Ow!!

Narrative

TV PRESENTER
It’s Friday, it’s 7 o’clock!
Yes, it’s time for an evening with Marty Ross!!
AND HERE’S MARTY!

MARTY ROSS
Hi darling, Marty Ross here. Let’s spend this evening together.
[Sound of rewind on TV] Hi darling, Marty Ross here. Let’s spend this evening together.
[Sound of rewind on TV ]Hi darling, Marty Ross here. Let’s spend this afternoon together.

BRIDGET
[Gasping noise] Marty! Hi! I was just writing notes for your show.

MARTY ROSS
You like what you see, eh?

BRIDGET
[Laughs]
Marty, you’re so funny!

MARTY ROSS
[Clears throat]
Is Lady Macbeth in?

BRIDGET
Who?

MARTY ROSS
The dragon – Eunice.

BRIDGET
Oh. Oh no. Marty, you’re so funny!

MARTY ROSS
Has Eunice got any tickets for Damian Pollasco’s latest exhibition yet?

BRIDGET
Who?

MARTY ROSS
Damian Pollasco.
The most important artist this century.
He’s so raw, so angry.

BRIDGET
Of course he is. Silly me. I forgot.
Good old Damian.

MARTY ROSS
Anyone who is anyone will be there tomorrow night.
[Clears throat] So of course I must be there.

BRIDGET
Oh yes.

MARTY ROSS
So tell the dragon if there are no tickets, I will not present Saturday’s show.

BRIDGET
But you must, Marty! You’re the star!

MARTY ROSS
But if there are tickets, then I will take her out to dinner. In fact, I’ll take anyone out to dinner who gets me those tickets. Anyway, must go. I’ve got fans to ignore! Well? Carry on.

BRIDGET
Oh!

MARTY ROSS [On TV]
Hi, darling. Marty Ross here. Let’s spend this evening together.

MARTY ROSS
What a professional!

BRIDGET
So if I get tickets for Damian Pollasco, I get dinner with Marty Ross!
Who do I know, who do I know? I know! Dave! He’s crazy about me! [Sound of telephone number being dialed]
Hi, Dave? It’s Bridget. I’ve got a little favour to ask you.

HECTOR
Is anybody home? Annie, is that you? Is that Ziggy?
I think you should let her out.

ANNIE
Oh no, it’s OK. We’re seeing what it’s like to be a battery chicken.

HECTOR
A chicken that runs on batteries?

ANNIE
No! A chicken that is kept in a small box to lay her eggs. Poor thing.

HECTOR
But isn’t Ziggy a bit…

ANNIE
Oh no. It makes it more real, doesn’t it, Ziggy. Tomorrow there is a big Farm Animal Freedom Protest in Trafalgar Square and we will be demonstrating.

NICK
Demonstrating what?

ANNIE
What it’s like to be a farm animal.

NICK
Oh! Sounds exciting!

ANNIE
Boggy and Moss are coming from Manchester.

ZIGGY
Yay!

HECTOR
Boggy and Moss?

ANNIE
Boggy and Moss are very, very serious eco-warriors.

HECTOR
Eco-warriors?

ANNIE
They fight for the environment. And you two will help us prepare.

NICK
Ah-ah-ah-ah! Agh!!

ANNIE
Won’t you, boys!

BRIDGET
[Laughing]
Bye!
Good old Dave. I knew he’d help me. He just can’t resist me. Now, Marty.

Sound of mobile phone

MARTY ROSS
Hi.

BRIDGET
Oh, hi, Marty. It’s Gigi.

MARTY ROSS
Gee-Gee? … … Bridget who?

BRIDGET
Bridget!
Eunice’s researcher.

MARTY ROSS
Have we met?

BRIDGET
Well, only about a hundred times!
Listen, I’ve got two preview tickets for Damian Pollasco.

MARTY ROSS
Oh, that Bridget. How could I forget you?
How about meeting for drinks at your place first?

BRIDGET
I’d, er, love to, but it’s just a simple loft-style apartment.

MARTY ROSS
Well, I’m sure it’s very arty. I can tell a lot about a woman from her art.
They call me Arty Marty, you know, and if I like your art, Bridget, maybe dinner afterwards?

BRIDGET
Oh, Marty! What a surprise! I’d love to!

MARTY ROSS
See you tomorrow, baby!

BRIDGET
[Giggling]
Bye!

MARTY ROSS
Ciao!

BRIDGET
Dinner with Marty, dinner with Marty, dinner with Marty, dinner with Marty! What shall I wear? My flat – arty? [Flashback sequence] – Annie, look at this flat.

ANNIE
Sorry, Bridget.

BRIDGET
Right, I’ve got twenty four hours.

ANNIE [Composing email]
It is the Farm Animal Freedom Protest tomorrow and Ziggy and I want to demonstrate what it is like to be a poor farm animal.

HECTOR
I think you should let her out.

ANNIE
Oh no, it’s OK.

ANNIE [Composing email]
Boggy and Moss the eco-warriors are coming from Manchester!

ANNIE
Boggie and Moss are very, very serious eco-warriors.

ANNIE [Composing email]
Oh, it’s so exciting!

ANNIE
And you two will help us prepare.

BRIDGET [Composing email]
Guess what? Marty Ross and I are going to the preview of Damian Pollasco’s exhibition!

BRIDGET
I’ve got two preview tickets for Damian Pollasco.

BRIDGET [Composing email]
He’s coming to our apartment for drinks first.
Marty says he can tell a lot about a woman from her art!

MARTY ROSS
They call me Arty Marty, you know.

BRIDGET
And what is going on this time?

ANNIE
Oh, hi, Bridget. I’m feeding Hector cornflakes.

BRIDGET
Oh really? And why?

ANNIE
He’s a turkey.
BRIDGET
Ah yes, of course he is.

ANNIE
Turkeys are made to eat lots for Christmas.

BRIDGET
Well, we all eat lots at Christmas.

ANNIE
No, it’s cruel. It’s to make them fat for humans to eat.

BRIDGET
Let me guess – he is a baby cow?

ANNIE
Nearly. He is a veal calf. Poor thing.
We’re preparing for our Farm Animal Freedom Protest.

BRIDGET
Oh no you’re not.
You’re preparing this flat because Marty Ross is coming for drinks.

NICK
Not Marty Ross? “Hey, darling, let’s spend the evening together.”

BRIDGET
Shut up, Nick. Go back to your bottle.

ANNIE
So this preparation, what is it?

BRIDGET
I want this flat to look like the coolest art gallery in London — the Tate Modern.

HECTOR
The Tate Modern?

NICK
No furniture.

BRIDGET
I want 21st century. I want art!

ANNIE
So how are you going to do this?

BRIDGET
I’m not going to do it – you are!

NICK
Oh.

BRIDGET
I must get my beauty sleep. See you in the morning. Have fun!

NICK
[Sound of burping]
Well, I’m not doing it.

ANNIE
Oh, come on, Nick. It won’t take long.

NICK
Uh-uh.

ANNIE
I’ll give Ziggy the keys to your flat.

NICK
[Sound of nervous laughter]
OK, let’s get on with it!

Sound of snoring

BRIDGET
There! That’s better! Marty will love it!

ANNIE
The things I do for Bridget’s love life.

NICK
What about Bridget’s love life?

BRIDGET
Right, I’ll be back with Marty at 6 o’clock, so Annie, I want nibbles…

HECTOR
Nibbles?

BRIDGET
…nuts, crisps.
Hector, you prepare the drinks and Nick… try to be more interesting and don’t let me down.

NICK
“I want 21st century! I want art!”
Yeah! I’ll show her interesting!

Sound of door slamming

HECTOR
Poofff! I’m taking the day off work today.

ANNIE
Oh no, you’re not. We’ve got lots to do before tonight.

HECTOR
Bridget’s nibbles?

ANNIE
No! The Farm Animal Freedom Protest.

HECTOR
Oh.

ANNIE
Boggy and Moss are coming here and I want you to look after them, Hector, OK? Come on, Ziggy.

NICK
Interesting? I’ll show you interesting, Bridget Evans. Hmm! Ah! Interesting, interesting! Nah, too Picasso. Whooff! No, too sporty and stupid.
Yes! This is the one! Nah. [Imitates sound of cock crowing]
Don’t be ridiculous. Nearly, not quite.
Bingo!

NICK [Composing email]
What a day! What a night!
First I had to pretend I was a veal calf for Annie’s protest photos.

ANNIE
Poor thing. We’re preparing for our Farm Animal Freedom Protest.

NICK [Composing email]
Ziggy fed me lots of milk.
Then, Bridget made us change the flat so it looked ‘arty.’

BRIDGET
I want 21st century! I want art!

NICK [Composing email]
It’s all for stupid Marty Ross.

NICK
“Hey darling, let’s spend the evening together.”

BRIDGET
Shut up, Nick. Go back to your bottle.

Sound of knocking on door

HECTOR
Oh, ‘Oggy, Moss, mmm. Excuse me, I am not…, Come in, come in. Please sit down.
So, you are Annie’s friends, huh? I am Annie’s boyfriend. Would you like a drink? You would? You wouldn’t. Tea? Coffee? Sugar? Oh! Aha! [Sound of mobile phone ringing] It is my phone! I know you know it is a phone, but it is ringing, so I must… excuse me.
Annie, I’m so happy you rang.

ANNIE
Hector, I’m in the ladies toilets in Trafalgar Square. Have Boggy and Moss arrived yet?

HECTOR
Yes. Annie, they are a bit…

ANNIE
Aren’t they sweet?

HECTOR
Yes, very sweet. It is just that they…
… All right, chaps? Won’t be a minute.
It is just that they are a bit scary.

ANNIE
Oh, Hector, don’t be so silly.

HECTOR
Oh.

ANNIE
Tell them to come to Trafalgar Square now.

HECTOR
Great.
Oh! You found something to eat. Good. Ah, you like that? Good, good, good. Annie says you can go to Trafalgar Square. Now.
[Sound of mobile phone ringing]
Oh! It is the phone again! Phones ring, don’t they. They…, excuse me. Hello?

BRIDGET
Hello, Hector. Did you get the nibbles?
HECTOR
Oh, the nibbles, the nibbles. Yes, of course Bridget.

BRIDGET
Well done, Hector. I knew I could rely on you.

HECTOR
That was Bridget, Annie’s friend.

NICK
Now am I interesting? .. … bad? Whoa! Hey! This is interesting!

HECTOR
Nick, what shall I do?
It was Boggy and Moss.

NICK
Oh, look, don’t worry. We can tidy this up. Look! See? Look.

HECTOR
Yeah, that looks much better.

NICK
Still, at least I brought the drinks.

HECTOR
And I have the nibbles.

NICK
What?

HECTOR
The nibbles.

NICK
Very good.

HECTOR
Oh no! Boggy and Moss ate them!

NICK
Ahh! Look at this! Eh? Mmm! Tastes good. Mmm!

HECTOR
Mmm!

NICK
See? Bridget won’t even notice the mess.

BRIDGET & MARTY
[Laughing]

BRIDGET
Oh, Marty, you’re so funny! Anyway, here is my humble home.

NICK
Mr Ross, I’m a huge fan.

BRIDGET
What is that?

ANNIE
It’s a pig pen. We stole it from a farm lorry!
BRIDGET
What a shame, no pig.

ANNIE
Oh, Boggy and Moss are bringing her later.

BRIDGET
This place…

MARTY ROSS
This place is very…

BRIDGET
I’m so angry!

MARTY ROSS
Angry! I love it!

BRIDGET
Yes. Yes, it’s my angry art phase. All my own ideas, you know.

NICK
Cocktail?

HECTOR
Nibble?

MARTY ROSS
And this is fantastic. Original?

BRIDGET
Oh, very original.

MARTY ROSS
Very Damian Pollasco. Ooh, I love art.
They call me Arty Marty, you know.

BRIDGET
Oh!

MARTY ROSS
Is it… for sale?

NICK
The man’s an idiot. He wants to buy a wall.
Much too expensive.

HECTOR
Much too precious.

MARTY ROSS
Name your price.

MARTY ROSS
Can you deliver them to me tomorrow?

NICK
Sure. No problem.

BRIDGET
Nick, what’s this cocktail called?

NICK
Ah, it’s an Arty Marty. It’s rich, sickly and very thick.

Sound of laughter

BRIDGET
Oh, Nick, your date is here.

NICK
Of course she is.

Sound of pig snorting/laughter

Narrative

ANNIE
One for the party and one for the party hostess. One for the party and one for the party accountant.
Hey, it’s Builder Barbie!

BRIDGET
Ha-ha, very funny.
Eunice wants some building work done and guess who has to organise it?

ANNIE
Builder Barbie?!
Hey! Not for you, for the party.

BRIDGET
We’re having a party?!
Oh, what shall I wear?

ANNIE
Well, it’s a street party. We’re having a party in the street to protest and stop the cars.

BRIDGET
Hmm, hmm, nice.
Hey, what’s this?

ANNIE
Aah!
Don’t touch it. It belonged to my grandmother.

BRIDGET
Your grandmother? It’s lovely.

ANNIE
Yes, it’s very special to me.

NICK
Well, what do you think?
Captain Chip Hardy, pilot extraordinaire.

Sound of clicking fingers

ANNIE
Oh, is that you?

BRIDGET
It can’t be!

NICK
Women love uniform.

ANNIE
Hey-hey! Builder Barbie and Pilot Ken!

BRIDGET
Why are you dressed like a pilot?

NICK
I am in a play. Chip Hardy, pilot extraordinaire.

BRIDGET
Huh!

NICK
For a theatre festival in Paris. Now, who is going to help me rehearse, huh?

BRIDGET
Oh, sorry, gotta go.

NICK
Annie? Oh, come on, you know you want to. Aha! Hector!

HECTOR
Huh?

NICK
Come fly with me!

HECTOR
What?

Atmospheric music

HECTOR [Impersonating air hostess]
Oh yes, Chip, I thought about you all the time.
[Speaking normally] … Nick, I really think …

NICK
Yeah, don’t tell me. I feel it too.
Something’s not quite right.

HECTOR
No.

NICK
Yeah, I…, hey, I’ve got it!
Here, there…, oh, beautiful! See? Now I can fancy you.

HECTOR
Oh no, Nick, please!!

NICK
Did you miss me, sweet thing?

HECTOR [Impersonating air hostess]
Oh yes, Chip, I thought about you all the time.

NICK
When we get to Barbados…, oh, sorry. But now we have work to do.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain Chip Hardy speaking. We will now go through the safety routine.
Exits are here, here and here.
In the event of cabin decompression, place oxygen masks over your face like so, but please attend to your own mask before helping children. Life jackets can be found under your seat.
In case of forced landing, adopt the following position.

BRIDGET
Oh, Eunice, I’ve got the builders on the phone.

EUNICE MOUNTAIN
About time.

BRIDGET
Hello. You can start today?

EUNICE MOUNTAIN
Oh, Jean-Pierre, how nice to hear from you.

BRIDGET
Well we really need the job done quickly.

EUNICE MOUNTAIN
We should meet tonight? Oh yes.

BRIDGET
Ah yes, where to start.

EUNICE MOUNTAIN
Where? Hmm, that’s a very good question.

BRIDGET
Where would you like the building work to start?

EUNICE MOUNTAIN
Well, I was thinking in my flat.

BRIDGET
In your flat?

EUNICE MOUNTAIN
Oh, yes, in my flat.

BRIDGET
Hello?
We want you to start in Eunice’s flat. Yes, that’s right, Eunice’s flat.

EUNICE MOUNTAIN
It’s 31 Evergreen Street.

BRIDGET
It’s 31 Evergreen Street. That’s right. Bye.

HECTOR
Tea, coffee?

NICK
No, no, no! Make it musical. Feel the words. Tea or coffee?

HECTOR [Impersonating air hostess]
Tea or coffee?

NICK
Thanks.

HECTOR
Hey, Nick, do women really go for you in that uniform?

NICK
Yeah.

HECTOR
Oh, but do they know that you are not a real pilot?

NICK
Well, hmm.

HECTOR
You tell them you are a real pilot.

NICK
Maybe.

Sound of mobile phone

NICK
Oh, aha! Hello? Captain Chip Hardy speaking.
Oh, hi, Tiffany! I love this uniform! Yes, that’s right, sweetie. Currently flying at 20,000 feet heading for Barbados. [Hector makes engine noises in background]
Yeah, that’s right darling, above the clouds, above the clouds.

HECTOR
[Makes engine noises/impersonates pilot]

NICK
No, no, no. We’re just…

HECTOR
Ahhh.. .. … … ..

NICK
….We’re not being attacked, it’s just a bit of turbulence. Look, I’ve got to go. Bye-bye!

HECTOR
Aaah!!

Sound of footsteps/coughing/spluttering

EUNICE MOUNTAIN
Nooooooo!

BRIDGET
Oh, hi, Eunice.

EUNICE MOUNTAIN
Bridget, guess where this came from?

BRIDGET
Erm…, DIY shop?

EUNICE MOUNTAIN
No, from my flat.

BRIDGET
Ah yes, have the builders started? Excellent.

EUNICE MOUNTAIN
Excellent? Excellent? My flat is a mess!
You told the builders to work in my flat.

BRIDGET
Yes, you said.

EUNICE MOUNTAIN
But the builders were supposed to work at Channel Nine. Your mistake, you fix it.

BRIDGET
But….

EUNICE MOUNTAIN
And until you do, I’m going to stay in your flat.

BRIDGET
Nooooooooo!

BRIDGET [Composing email]
Oh no. Eunice is so angry!
I made a tiny little mistake at work.

BRIDGET
We want you to start work in Eunice’s flat. Yes, that’s right, Eunice’s flat.

EUNICE MOUNTAIN
Nooooooooo!

BRIDGET [Composing email]
And now she’s coming to stay with us.

BRIDGET
Nooooooooo!

BRIDGET [Composing email]
Oh, what am I going to do?

NICK [Composing email]
Dan, forget about fast cars, forget about exercise in the gym, forget about cool clothes.
You have to get a pilot’s uniform. It’s magic with women.

NICK
Captain Chip Hardy, pilot extraordinaire.

EUNICE MOUNTAIN
BRIDGET!!

BRIDGET
I wanna ride the pony!

EUNICE MOUNTAIN
Bridget, I want my breakfast now.

BRIDGET
Of course. What would you like?

EUNICE MOUNTAIN
I want fresh coconut milk, two rashers of crisp bacon, preserve of Morello cherries on French toast, and coffee. Italian coffee.

BRIDGET
Fresh coconut milk, Italian coffee? I don’t have….

EUNICE MOUNTAIN
So you have to go out and buy them for me. Oooh, ohhh, horrible.

Assorted background noises

HECTOR
Oh! Captain Hardy, what are we going to do?

NICK
It will be OK.

HECTOR
I am too young to die! You have to save us!

NICK
Try to be calm.

HECTOR
But what about my family? What about my cat?

NICK
Hold yourself together, woman.

HECTOR
What…
Slapping noise

NICK
Excellent! You were really good!
That was like Catherine Zeta-Jones.

HECTOR
You didn’t have to slap me for real.

NICK
Oh, sorry, but I… oop!

Sound of mobile phone ringing

NICK
Hello? Captain Chip Hardy speaking. [Sound of Hector in background making assorted noises]. What? Oh… OK, it’s the director! Shh! What? What?! Erm, just a minute. The actress? She’s ill? But we must still do the play? No, we don’t have much time.
Look, don’t worry. I know the perfect person to play the part. Oh, yes, the perfect person. Bye!
Hector?
Hector!

HECTOR
Huh?

NICK
I have an extra ticket for Paris. Do you want to come with me?

HECTOR
Paris?

NICK
Oui, oui.

HECTOR
Excellent!

NICK & HECTOR
Ho-ho-ho-ho!

EUNICE MOUNTAIN
You call this a breakfast? Euurgggh! That’s what I think of this! Ooh! Eurrh! And this! Aahh! And this! Poofff! And I have a little washing for you.
[Sound of clicking fingers] In the bedroom.
Now, what shall I eat? Hmm!

BRIDGET
You call this a little washing?

EUNICE MOUNTAIN
Oh, be quiet and do it.

ANNIE
Hi! I got some polish for Granny’s chest.

BRIDGET
Nice.

ANNIE
Oh, I love it so much. It really reminds me of her.
Hey! You’re eating my party food!

EUNICE MOUNTAIN
Yes. But it’s not very good.
Here, Charley boy.

BRIDGET
Annie, Annie, please. I don’t want to lose my job.
It’s only for a few days.

EUNICE MOUNTAIN
Now which of you lucky girls is going to cut my toenails?

BRIDGET
Grrrr! I’m going to kill that woman!

ANNIE
No, no, let me.

NICK
Are you having fun with Eunice?

ANNIE & BRIDGET
Hmm.

HECTOR
Why don’t you stay here while we are away?

NICK
Yeah.

ANNIE & BRIDGET
Erm, no, thank you.

ANNIE
Good luck in Paris!

Sound of atmospheric accordion music

HECTOR
Oh, Paris, c’est magnifique!

NICK
Hector, where were you?
Our play starts soon.

HECTOR
Oh, OK, good luck.

NICK
Hector, there’s something I’ve got to tell you.

HECTOR
Oh, your play starts very soon. Where is the actress who plays the stewardess?

NICK
Huh! Well, actually she’s right here.

HECTOR
Eh? Good joke!

NICK
The actress? She’s ill.

HECTOR
Huh?

NICK
You are going to play the stewardess. Look, there’s your costume.

HECTOR
You are not serious. You are serious?

NICK
Listen, Sylvia, I am gonna fly this plane. I will need all my crew. You are a professional. I am your captain. Will you fly with me?

HECTOR
No. No. No, no, no. I am not doing it, hmm!

NICK
Sylvia! I’m proud of you.

HECTOR
Oh, shut up.

ANNIE
What’s that?

BRIDGET
Come and have something to eat.

ANNIE
Well, the shape looks familiar.

EUNICE MOUNTAIN
You’ve guessed. It is that chest.
I did some work on it for you.

ANNIE
Oh!

EUNICE MOUNTAIN
It looked so boring. I gave it a whole new look. Da-daa!

Background atmospheric music

ANNIE
My grandmother’s chest! Ohhh…..

BRIDGET
Annie. Annie, please…

ANNIE
Arrrghhhh!!

ANNIE [Composing email]
Oh, that woman!
I can’t take much more of her!
And I don’t know if I can control myself.

BRIDGET
Annie, Annie, please …

ANNIE
Arrrghhhh!!

NICK [Composing email]
Paris was great, but there was one problem, Sophie, my actress, was ill.

HECTOR
Where is the actress who plays the stewardess?

NICK
Huh! Well, she’s ill.

HECTOR
Huh?

NICK [Composing email]
And I had to persuade Hector to play her part instead.

NICK
You are going to play the stewardess.

HECTOR
Oh, shut up.

NICK
Oooh, that was close!
We nearly missed the plane.

HECTOR
Look at the reviews. “Irresistible.”

NICK
“Dazzling.”

HECTOR
“And that was just her legs”!

NICK
“The hostess was beautiful – in a masculine way.”

NICK & HECTOR
Aaarrrghhh! Aaarrrghhh!

HECTOR
What’s going on?

P.A. ADDRESS
Ladies and gentlemen, we are experiencing some turbulence. There’s nothing to worry about, except that the pilot and co-pilot are both ill.
Erm, does anybody know how to fly a plane?

NICK & HECTOR
Aaarrrghhh!

NICK
Hector!

HECTOR
Huh?

NICK
Don’t worry. I will fly this plane.

HECTOR
Nick, you cannot fly this plane!

NICK
I am Captain Chip Hardy. I can do anything!

HECTOR
You are just an actor. Captain Chip Hardy is your character.

NICK
But I have the heart of a pilot.

HECTOR
Tea? Coffee?

Sound of mobile phone ringing

BRIDGET
Oh, wait a minute.
Hello? Oh, really? Oh, excellent! Goodbye.

ANNIE
Who was that?

BRIDGET
The builders. Eunice’s flat is finished!

ANNIE
Really?

BRIDGET
Her flat is ready!

ANNIE
Wooooohhh! Our flat is ours again! Hoo-hooo-hooo!

EUNICE MOUNTAIN
Hello, girls. Have you had a nice time?

BRIDGET
What happened here?

EUNICE MOUNTAIN
Oh, just a little party! It was really fun!

BRIDGET
OK, Eunice. We’ve spoken to the builders.
Your flat’s ready. You can go home now.

EUNICE MOUNTAIN
Oh, I like it here. I think I’m going to stay.
Oh Bridget! Where’s my coffee! And Annie, bring my new wig.

ANNIE & BRIDGET
Nooooooooooo!

BRIDGET
What do you mean?

EUNICE MOUNTAIN
What do I mean? I am going to stay.

HECTOR
Aha! We are back! Paris was great and…

ANNIE
Oh, pilot Ken and stewardess Barbie!

HECTOR
But he really is a pilot! He flew the plane!

NICK
Well, for a moment, until the co-pilot punched me!

HECTOR
What happened here? A hurricane?

ANNIE
Yes, something like that.

EUNICE MOUNTAIN
Well, Nick, what’s this? A new job?

NICK
Yeah, sort of.

EUNICE MOUNTAIN
So Mr Pilot, shall we have some fun?

NICK
Yeah, OK!

EUNICE MOUNTAIN
Will you take my flying?

NICK
Ha-ha! OK!

EUNICE MOUNTAIN
Shall we stay here or go to my place?

NICK
Let’s go to your place. This place is a mess!
Really, girls, you should tidy up a bit.

HECTOR
It is the uniform.

BRIDGET
Oh, at last, she’s gone!

ANNIE
Oh, I’m exhausted!

HECTOR
Well, if you are tired, can I offer you some tea or coffee?

COMMENTARY [v.o.]
