INT.
TERRY’S HOME.
Terry
and Dan enter.
LUCY
(O.S)
Terrance
Black! Where the fuck have you been?
LUCY
is standing at the
other end of the warm, clean and well-lit living room, arms
outstretched. Her anger turns to concern.
LUCY
and
what has happened to your face? I've been so worried. Look at the
state of you!
Terry
holds up his hands.
TERRY
I
know! I know I'm late...
LUCY
and
who's this?
Lucy
looks at Dan suspiciously.
DAN
Errr…
TERRY
I'll
explain, I'll explain. Put
the kettle on and I'll tell you what’s
happened.
Dan puts his hand on
his chest.
DAN
I'm
Dan.
A
door to their right opens, LALYA enters.
LAYLA
Hi
Dan.
She
walks over to Terry and goes up on tiptoes. She kisses him on the
cheek and smiles.
LAYLA
Hi
Dad. Are you in
trouble again?
TERRY
It's
been a long day and your Mum’s
yelling at me.
Terry
grins and
puts his arm around Layla, kissing her forehead.
Layla
walks
into the living
room.
LAYLA
See
mum, I told you
Dad was fine.
Smiling,
Lucy gives
her daughter the middle finger.
LUCY
Tea
Dan?
DAN
Please
LUCY
(TO LAYLA)
Put
the kettle on hun.
Layla
goes
into the kitchen.
LUCY
(TO DAN)
Make
yourself at home.
She
gestures to the sofa.
LUCY
Please.
Lucy
beckons to Terry.
LUCY
Come
'ere you silly sod.
Dan
sits down on the sofa and looks down as Terry and Lucy embrace in a
passionate kiss.
LAYLA
(O.S)
Get
a room.
Terry
and Lucy look
into each others eyes
as they break from
their kiss. Terry looks around his wife at Dan who
is sitting nervously on the edge of the sofa.
TERRY
You
alright mate? You can chill here, it's as safe as it can be.
Lucy
notices Terry’s
facial wounds.
LUCY
State
of you.
She
licks her thumb and cleans encrusted blood off his
eyebrow.
LUCY
I'll
get some bandages.
Lucy
leaves. Layla comes
in with a tray of tea. She walks
over to Dan, smiling.
LAYLA
There
you go.
Dan
cups the steaming mug and looks into
her brown eyes.
DAN
Thank
you.
He
looks down at
the rippling tea, it becomes a greasy grey puddle.
