Birthday Girl Page #4

NADIA:

Yes.

JOHN:

I just can't find a nest. The root

of the problem. I've looked

everywhere. What's the Russian for

ant? Sorry that's a stupid... Sorry.

This is strange isn't it.

NADIA:

Yes.

JOHN:

I'm pretty nervous. Are you?

NADIA:

Yes.

JOHN:

I mean... "Ants." "I've got a problem

with ants."

He shakes his head.

JOHN:

I had this...

He pulls a sign from his jacket which says "Nadia!"

JOHN:

As a joke but uh...

He tosses it onto the back seat.

They drive. He sees Nadia looking at England.

JOHN:

So. Is it different to how you

imagined it?

NADIA:

Yes.

JOHN:

I bet.

(pause)

What about me? Am I how you imagined?

NADIA:

Yes.

He double-takes, changes lanes.

JOHN:

And how was the flight. Sorry, am I

speaking too fast for you?

NADIA:

Yes.

John looks across.

JOHN:

Do uh... Sorry. Can you follow me?

Do you understand what I'm saying?

NADIA:

Yes.
