CARTER:

I thought you said you could get the

afternoon off to tidy the house!

Hurriedly they enter - CARTER shutting the door behind...MIK walks into

the KITCHEN calling out...

MIK:

I'm sorry, I couldn't - when is she due?

CARTER:

(Tidying hallway) At 2.00...

MIK looks at her watch and GRIMACES - suddenly the doorbell rings and

both girls look round...

MIK:

(Whispering) You didn't tell me her

name.

They walk to then door...

CARTER:

LESLIE...

The door swings open to reveal a small, business like man, average and

well dressed with piercing eyes. He turns and extends his arm...

STECKLER:

STECKLER...LESLIE STECKLER.

18 INT DAY BEDROOM - STECKLER is looking round at an empty room. It seems

good for him. MIK and CARTER stand in the background. CARTER is

obviously uneasy about something.

STECKLER turns round, smiling...

STECKLER:

I like it...

CARTER steps forward,

(CONTINUED)

18 CONTINUED:

CARTER:

You see MR STECKLER, er, I think that we

may have wasted your time. (Laughs

awkwardly) I don't know why I didn't say

something earlier - It's just that we're

looking for a girl...The advert was for

a girl.

STECKLER seems shocked - he pulls a paper from under his arm and opens

it...A large red circle rings a small ad

STECKLER:

Well - the ad just said third

person...(Awkwardly) It must have been a

printing error.

He shows CARTER the ad, which does indeed say 'Third Person...' CARTER

looks at MIK who returns a don't look at my face.

STECKLER:

It doesn't mention 'females only'

CARTER:

I really don't know what to say

STECKLER seems depressed, but still maintains a polite attitude.

STECKLER:

I'm really very sorry - I was banking on

this coming through, because it's only

five minutes from my surgery...

MIK:

Surgery? Are you a doctor?

STECKLER:

No - a dentist

A professional, CARTER smiles - she is beginning to warm to this man.

STECKLER roots in his pockets pulling out some letters and his

wallet...A fly whizzes around his head, annoying him. He looks a little

nervous.

STECKLER:

I have all my references ready - and I

can pay the first month and deposit now.

It really is a glowing reference!

(CONTINUED)

18 CONTINUED (2):

STECKLER extends his arm with the letters of reference. CARTER takes

them and looks at the first as STECKLER opens his wallet and removes

some notes. A huge wad remains - this guy is loaded.

CARTER nods approvingly at the reference as STECKLER holds out the

money.

CARTER looks round to MIK -

CARTER:

MR STECKLER - would you excuse us for

one moment?

STECKLER nods his head to oblige

19 INT DAY KITCHEN - CARTER and MIK stand in the kitchen ,quietly

discussing. CARTER can see STECKLER in the LIVING ROOM through a crack

in the door. He is innocently looking out of the back garden window,

smiling approvingly.
