Bank Holiday Page #3

- How soon?

- ln an hour.

Sorry.

l assure you, we did everything we could.

Will you see the baby now,

Mr Howard?

The baby, Mr Howard.

Won't you come and see him?

No. No, never.

No, l never want to see it.

l'd like to see her now. Could l?

Of course.

( Lively piano playing, distant)

(Woman screams, piano stops)

(Children shouting)

(Piano playing restarts)

l've poured out some water for you.

l'm all right, thanks. Don't worry.

Mr Howard, isn't there

something l can do for you?

No, thanks. l'll go now.

There's nothing to wait for, is there?

Can l get you a taxi?

Would you like me to come with you?

l mean, shouldn't

somebody see you home?

Why?

l thought you might not

like to be alone.

No.

Don't mind my asking, but at your home,

there's no one there, is there?

No, there's no one there.

Don't you think you should have

someone to see you're all right?

- l think you should.

- No, thank you, Nurse. Don't worry.

l told you, l should be all right.

- Stephen!

- Ann! Where have you been all this time?

But where have you? The last time l saw you,

you'd got your first job

and were trying to grow a moustache!

Was it that long ago? Oh, yes, l remember,

you'd just put your hair up.

- Anyway, we found each other.

- We won't lose each other this time.

- Come out with me.

- Oh, Stephen, l can't. l'm on my way home.

Mother's expecting me. Telephone me

tomorrow and we'll arrange something.

Why tomorrow?

You know it never comes. Tonight.

Don't be silly, there's no hurry.

We've all our lives.

(Whistle blows)

- Hello, Geoff.

- Cath, at last!

That's not much of a kiss

to wait two hours for.

Poor little Geoff.

lt must've been miserable for you.

- That's better.

- Don't let's waste time.

- Where does the train go from?

- Over there. l've got tickets.

- l wish you'd stop calling me little Geoff.

- Why?

- lt sounds stupid. l'm five nine and a half.

- That's not the point.

- That's how l think of you, as little Geoff.

- Stop thinking of me like that.

- On the left, sir.

- My extravagant Geoff.

Because we're going to the Grand?

That's nothing!

l've never been to a big hotel. Have you?

- Cath, of course l have!

- Geoff, when?

- Several times.

- You never told me.

Haven't l?

Come on, here's an empty one.

Here, what's the idea?

Oh, Cath! Come on, Cath.

Stand in the window

and look like a crowd.

No, let's sit in the corner

like a honeymoon couple.

We are a honeymoon couple, aren't we?

Geoff, don't. People will see us.

- (Woman) Here's one, this'll do.

- Stand by the window.

There's only two in here.

Make room for others.

- lt's a first, Phyllis!

- Why didn't you say?
