Marty laughs.

ZIGGY (CONT'D)

Kettle’s on in the workshop - if

you fancy a brew.

MARTY:

(surprised, touched, but

still...)

Nah, you’re alright mate.

ZIGGY:

We’ve got bourbons.

Marty smiles, appreciates the gesture.

17 INT. JS MOTORS - BETH’S OFFICE - DAY 11 - 16.00 17

are on the ‘sales managers office’ - through the blinds she

can see Marianne laughing (perhaps a little flirtily) with

Jez (of Jez and Emma).

On Beth, eyeing her, hating her.

18 INT. JS MOTORS - OFFICE AREA - DAY 11 - 16.05 18

Beth strides purposefully across the office, passing the

sales team (Marty, Pete and Emma all working) and reception -

where one of the young sales girls - AMELIE - is covering for

Tracy and Viv.

BETH:

Alright, Amelie, you coping?

AMELIE:

Shouldn’t I get paid double for

this, if I’m covering two jobs?

BETH:

No, Tracy and Viv only work half as

hard as you do

And Beth’s away before Amelie can question the logic of that.

Ziggy passes reception, doesn’t even glance at Amelie.

AMELIE:

Hi Ziggy

ZIGGY:

Oh, hi Emily

AMELIE:

Amelie.

(big smile)

Corrected, he’s away again. She exhales, gutted, he doesn’t

even remember her name...

Beth marches into Kathy’s office and is surprised to be met

by the sight of a GREAT DANE.

BETH:

Whoa

KATHY:

Titch, sit.

BETH:

Why is your dog here?

KATHY:

Long story. Well, short story. He’s

depressed - I couldn’t leave him on

his own...

BETH:

(looking at Titch, seems

fine)

Depressed?

KATHY:

He’s lost his girlfriend, Cheryl,

BETH:

Cheryl?

KATHY:

She’s a Daschund.

BETH:

What, she died?

KATHY:

Moved away - she lived next door,

with Mark and Sally, but they’ve

gone, separated, he caught her

sleeping with the bloke from the

fish shop... so Cheryl’s moved to

Sussex - that’s the trouble with

adultery, it’s always the innocents

that suffer.

BETH:

Right.

And back in the real world...

BETH (CONT’D)

Is Mike in?

But before she can answer.

MIKE (O.S.)

For God’s sake.

Door flies open from the adjoining office.

MIKE (CONT’D)

(brandishing a letter)

How many times do I have to send

Customs and Excise the same

information - how many times. Tell

them we’ve sent it.

He flings the letter to Kathy and goes back in his office.

BETH:

(pulls face)

What’s up with him?

KATHY:

Hangover.

Then can’t resist adding the juicy bit.

KATHY (CONT'D)

His wife’s back.
