MARTY:

Have you talked to her about

contraception?

KAT:

(she groans in pain)

I’ve been on here an hour.

MARTY:

Locked door, what’s that about.

If she ends up pregnant

KAT:

I’m in bloody agony here

MARTY:

Maybe it’s brought on by

excessive spending

KAT:

Oh, piss off

MARTY:

Six bags...

KAT:

-they’re in the sale!

MARTY:

...thirty, forty quid a bag,

that’s...

KAT:

-they’re half price!

MARTY:

...the best part of two hundred

notes...

KAT:

-they’re half price!

MARTY:

...in one bleedin trip! Half

price still COSTS MONEY.

He slams out. And meets THE YOUNG GUY sheepishly heading

for the stairs.

MARTY (CONT'D)

I’ll give you a lift.

YOUNG GUY:

You’re alright, I’ll

MARTY:

I’ll drive you!

12 INT/EXT. MARTY’S CAR/STREET - DAY 1 - 18.30 12

Marty driving. YOUNG GUY in the passenger seat. They

drive in a very awkward silence until...

MARTY:

Get her pregnant that’s you

finished. Get her pregnant and

she keeps it that’s you done,

mate. Trapped. You’ll feel

obliged to make a go of it...

might even have a few good years,

but then ten, twelve, fifteen

years down the road, you’ll

wonder where your life went...

you’ll wonder why you’re stuck

with this woman who’s always ill,

who never has any fun and spends

her life buying all kinds of

clothes despite the fact that she

never goes out. Is that what you

want? Is it? Well, is it?

YOUNG GUY shakes his head, this is freaking him out. MARTY

stops the car suddenly.

YOUNG LAD:

I’m only fifteen.

MARTY:

Get out.

YOUNG LAD:

I’m nowhere near.

MARTY:

GET OUT!

The young lad does and we stay on Marty’s face. Hold on

him - a moment alone - and we see that he is struggling,

fighting back a depression, pissed off with too many

aspects of life...

But then, as ever, a distraction.

He glances out of the side window and sees a pub - its

welcoming lights beckon him.

14 INT. MARTY’S HOUSE - MARTY’S BEDROOM - DAY 2 - 08.35 14

Morning. The bleary face of Marty - just arriving into

consciousness. Brain foggy but wurring.

MARTY:

(without opening his

eyes)

Time is it?

No reply. He forces his eyelids open and realises he is

ALONE IN THE BED. He cranes to see the clock - 8.35.

MARTY (CONT'D)

Sh*t!

He dives out of bed and starts frantically searching for

his clothes on the floor - the more he hurries the slower

he goes - he’s in a panic.

MARTY (CONT'D)

Kat. Katrina!

He falls to the floor as he gets tangled in his trousers.
