Jenna and Toke are here...

RUTH:

Any dizziness?

JOE:

No, but I can see a light in one

eye

(she shifts the light to

the other eye)

Now, the other.

RUTH:

He seems okay, but it’s hard to

tell with head injuries - he should

really go to the hospital

JOE:

I’m fine...

JENNA:

Joe

JOE:

I’ve got a bit of a headache,

there’s no point spending half the

day in A&E...

TOKE:

Mate, you took quite a hit.

Joe shoots Toke a look. Jenna looks to Ruth.

RUTH:

I think he should rest...

JENNA:

(agrees)

At home?

RUTH:

the headache intensifies...

Joe nods... whatever...

JOE:

This is all very well, but how am I

supposed to get in tomorrow?

Holly does a thoughtful face.

HOLLY:

JOE:

...I expect you’ll want to order

that. Wouldn’t want me out of

pocket...

He smiles, goes.

HOLLY:

Enjoy your day off.

Holly pulls away. He gives her a look. As he heads to his

front door he notices his wife’s car. Odd.

He pulls out his keys. Key in the door. It won’t open.

WTF... He tries again. Nope. Rattles it. The internal

lock is on... confused, he knocks.

JOE:

What the...

He peers through the window, no one there...

In disbelief, he tries the door again... but it is definitely

locked. He knocks hard.

JOE (CONT’D)

Bel. Belinda.

Knocks again. He doesn’t know what to do. He gets his phone

out. Scrolls to Belinda. Calls.

Gets the answer machine.

Oh, for fu...

He is literally at a loss. And then... just as he is about

It’s me. What the hell?

BELINDA:

BELINDA:

Oh...

I was feeling weird...

What?

(doesn’t seem likely)

So you put the lock on?
