DARREN:

Me...? Nothing. Worked late. Ate

pizza, played some computer games.

OLLIE:

(Fixing a look at Darren)

Anything else?

Beat.

DARREN:

Do you mean, did I crack one out?

OLLIE rolls his eyes, picks up a TOOLBOX and walks away.

DARREN (CONT’D)

(Smirks - calling after

him)

I didn’t think you’d want to know.

If you like, in the future, I’ll

keep a diary.

(As if reading from diary)

Dear Diary - didn’t have a wank last

night. Ollie will be disappointed.

Beat. Approaching the house, OLLIE pauses.

OLLIE:

I saw you last night... I saw you

next door.

OLLIE (CONT'D)

(Beat)

I came back and ... I saw you with

him.

Beat.

DARREN:

And did you think...?

(Can’t help but laugh)

Oh Ollie. I was borrowing some

tools. You’d left with the van and

needed some stuff. I went and asked

Andrzej.

OLLIE:

You were doing work.

DARREN:

Yes. Because... I was trying the

tools out. Making sure they were

okay. Did you think...? Oh my god

you did!

Beat. OLLIE starts to mellow. A small smile on his face.

DARREN (CONT’D)

Seriously man, I was just borrowing

some tools.

OLLIE:

It did look like you were working. I

just... I thought...

(Big smile)

Sorry, I’m being totally paranoid.

DARREN:

That’s okay.

OLLIE:

No, it’s not. I’m sorry. I really

should have trusted you.

DARREN:

Don’t worry about it.

(Picks up toolbox)

I’m going for a fag out back.

OLLIE:

Yeah... Take your time.

They both smile and make their way inside.

CUT TO:

210 EXT. HOUSE (OLLIE’S JOB 1)/ BACK GARDEN - DAY 4 - 08:30 210

Moments later, DARREN smoking a fag by the fence. OLLIE

opens the back door.

OLLIE:

(A bit nervous)

Listen - are we okay? I’m not very

good at this stuff... I know that.

But you’ve got to see why I wasn’t

happy?

DARREN:

Yeah, totally.

OLLIE:

Just as long as we’re okay.

He throws his arms out for a hug.

OLLIE (CONT’D)

Come on.

DARREN:

Really?

OLLIE:

Yeah - really.

He throws his arms around DARREN.

OLLIE (CONT’D)

I’m sorry I didn’t trust you.

DARREN:

I’m sorry I’m this close to your

body.

Suddenly OLLIE’S face drops. He pats DARREN’S trouser

pocket.

DARREN (CONT’D)

Easy.

He shoves his hand inside and pulls out - A PHONE HEADSET

just like ANDRZEJ’S.

OLLIE:

What the hell is this?

DARREN:

Nothing. I

OLLIE:

It’s just like the one... Oh my god,

he gave you this. You lied.

DARREN:

No, I -

OLLIE:

You lied to me Darren. How could

you?

OLLIE:

‘Course you did, you wanted me to

see.
