GEMMA:

I have!

JASON takes over and pulls out the clothes horse and begins

to set it up. It is complicated and for the rest of the

scene he struggles with which bit goes where. GEMMA rolls

up her arm to show TOM’S phone number written on it.

JASON:

What sort of lunatic writes his

number on human skin?

GEMMA:

It’s sexy. He would have done it

on my naked thigh but I was...

wearing trousers. It’s Tom, Tom

Marshall.

JASON:

The knob in the Range Rover?

GEMMA:

Yes. No! Tom is not a knob.

JASON:

His wife left him for the Asda

night supervisor. That qualifies

him for complete knobdom.

GEMMA:

I left you for no one so what

does that qualify you for?

He puts up the clothes horse looking pleased with himself.

JASON:

Fine, I’ll have the girls, but

don’t wear those.

He points to granny knickers that GEMMA is now holding.

JASON:

Unless he’s a pervy knob in a

Range Rover.

He gives the clothes horse a manly pat.

JASON:

(re clothes horse)

Glad I popped round now aren’t

you?

GEMMA:

(smiles sweetly)

Love to Inca.

He throws her a look and exits and as he does so the

clothes horse collapses in on its self to the floor.

GEMMA:

(shouts after him)

Poo head!

She gives the clothes horse a kick, then looks at her arm

with the phone number on it.

GEMMA:

Right.

She marches into the kitchen

6 INT. GEMMA’S KITCHEN. MID-DAY 6

GEMMA picks up the phone and is about to dial when she

turns and grabs a bottle of Advocat from a kitchen cupboard

and takes a swig. She does a ‘yuck’ face then recoils and

chokes.

GEMMA:

Erghhh.... God.... Erghh

As she speaks we cut to....

7 INT. TOM’S LIVING ROOM. MID-DAY 7

TOM’s house is a family home but with predominantly

masculine touches. A photo of him and his daughter in

Taekwondo outfits is on a table with the answering machine.

TOM is standing in his full taekwondo kit going through

various moves calmly, his answer machine clicks in and he

hears....

GEMMA (PHONE MESSAGE)

(we hear choking /

gagging noises)

Ergh... sorry... Advocat went

down the wrong way.... I don’t

normally drink during the day...

Just a quick shot for courage...

that’s not important.. Anyway,

it’s me..... Gemma.. Gemma

Jones... from the play ground...

you wrote on my arm.. But you

know that, so

(overly loud)

I will go out with you tonight...

goodbye.

(She thinks she’s hung

up)

Oh no what have I done - oh no..

the phone what the....

(line goes dead)

The machine clicks off. TOM goes into a full on taekwondo

display.
