You're partial to a nice bit of mackerel, aren't you, STEVE?

At this moment . . . Pauline comes into the kitchen, through back door.
She strides past Honora, HERBERT and STEVE

drops onto a record.
FAST PULL-BACK . . . from the speaker as the opening notes of "Be My
Love" by Mario Lanza burst out. Records from the cabinet lie scattered
on the floor. Pauline is clutching a Mario Lanza album.
STEVE backs toward the hallway door, holding his Doris Day album
forlornly.
HERBERT chuckles at him through the kitchen doorway.
HERBERT:
(Laughing) Ya gotta be quick in this house, mate!
Pauline stares misty-eyed at the album cover. HERBERT
calls out.
HERBERT:

O' Lanza?
PAULINE:
(annoyed) He's Italian, Dad! The world's greatest tenor!
Mario Lanza starts singing . . . HERBERT comes into the lounge, miming
the song with a limp fish. He gesticulates a grand operatic fashion.
PAULINE:
Stop it! You're spoiling it! Go away!
She pushes HERBERT out of the room, into the kitchen.

Pauline and Juliet are sidelined on a bench. Pauline is writing in a
textbook. She notices Juliet glancing at her leg. Juliet moves closer.
JULIET:
Can I have another look?
Pauline purses her lips and quickly pushes her left stocking down . . .
She has a large ugly scar running up her left shin, from ankle to knee.
JULIET:
That's so impressive!
Pauline does not look convinced.
JULIET:
(Conspiratorial) I've got scars . . . they're on my lungs.
Pauline looks surprised.
JULIET:
I was in bed for months during the war, ravaged by respiratory illness.
