Season #1 Episode #6

---

TOM drives past the gates in his Range Rover and blasts the

horn getting the attention of the whole playground. He

waves over enthusiastically at GEMMA, FRAN waves over

zealously back at him.

FRAN:

You’re going to go out with him,

right?

GEMMA:

He’s not my type.

FRAN:

You mean he’s not a self centred

philanderer with a very small...

GEMMA holds FRAN’s lips together.

CUT TO:

GEMMA’s living room has a lived in feeling. She is sat at

her computer in the corner. There are family pictures of

her with the TWINS and ALFIE scattered around. She dips a

Mars Bar into her coffee. Suddenly JASON is stood behind

JASON:

Enjoying a deep throat chocolate

moment are we?

GEMMA:

(Startled with chocolate in mouth)

Jason! Blimey, you nearly gave me a

heart attack! How many times can

you please knock.

JASON:

The back door was open.

Besides, my kids live here I

should be able to come and go as

I want.

GEMMA:

Of Course, you’re right. (She

smiles, JASON seems pleased) So

I guess I should have the keys to

yours and Inca’s so when the

twins are with you I can just let

myself in and out. I’m sure Inca

will be happy with that

arrangement?

He makes a face like “ok you win”. GEMMA pushes past him

into the kitchen and opens the washing machine. She takes

out the washing and put it in the washing basket. Jason

leans on the kitchen table and helps himself to a pear.

JASON:

Fine, I’ll knock. Thing is Gem

Gem, Inca’s got a waxing exam

tomorrow and she needs to

meditate tonight so.....

GEMMA:

Oh no... no you don’t... the girls

are staying at yours tonight...

JASON:

Please, otherwise Inca will stealth

wax me in my sleep again.

GEMMA opens the utility cupboard a clothes horse falls out

which she wrestles with trying to get it out.

JASON:

I’ll still see them at the weekend,

Inca’s doing Sunday lunch, Swedish

style.

GEMMA:

As delicious as dry Ryvita

pickled gherkins and cabbage

sound you’ll see them tonight.

JASON:

Why? What difference does it

make?

GEMMA:

Because tonight Jason...I’ve got

plans...to go out....

JASON:

Singles night at the Legion is it?

He laughs at his own joke and watches as GEMMA tries to

pull out the clothes horse which has now got caught up with

the long tube of the hoover.

JASON:

Need a hand?

GEMMA:

Nope.

(getting more annoyed

with the clothes horse)

I’ve got a date.

JASON snorts.

JASON:

No you haven’t.
