Clapham Junction Page #3

Synopsis: Robin, a gay writer, has his script declined by a television executive whilst school-boy Theo stalks his neighbour Tim, on whom he spies through the window. Terry, who lives with his grandmother, prepares for a night out whilst professionals Gavin and Will celebrate a civil partnership though faithless Will flirts with young waiter Alfie, giving him his ring. Terry picks a man up at a gay club, inexplicably giving him a savage beating-up. Robin goes cruising in a toilet meeting the closeted Julian, before going on to a dinner party with married friends. To Robin's surprise Julian also turns up, having hidden in a cubicle whilst Alfie was pursued and attacked by gay bashers. Terry finds the severely injured waiter but rather than help him steals Will's ring. The dinner party guests, who also number Theo's parents, see the ambulance draw up for Alfie but Julian refuses to tell the police what he saw, to Robin's dismay. Terry himself is also beaten up and treated in hospital by Gavin, who

Don't you worry.

Come here.

- My mobile.

- Oh, what?

- I want to see you again.

- You can't.

- Call me.

- No.

- You will, you know.

- You're sure of yourself, aren't you?

Bye then.

You've gotta lovely arse.

And you've gotta lovely husband.

- Where the hell have you been?

- I'm sorry.

I was running out of excuses,

what have you been up to?

Oh, for christ's sake, give me some.

I've been twisting with the vicar.

- Very pure, don't overdue it.

- I was beginning to thing you'd had second thoughts.

- Where's the ring?

- It's in my wallet, kept slipping off.

- I know I gave him the right measurements.

- It's allright, I'll take it in tomorrow.

A pint please.

- Hot, innit?

- Yeah.

- I think you'd gone.

- Nah I ain't gone. - Good.

- I'm Alfie, by the way.

- Oh, yeah?

- Yeah.

- You don't meet many Alfies.

Let me introduce you to...

No, it's OK.

My mun rang just before I left. I told her

I was doing a wedding, but I didn't tell her it was gay.

- She wouldn't have minded it, would she?

- I don't know. She probably knows everything anyway.

Yeah, mums usually do.

- Nice.

- Yeah, if you like that sort of thing.

- Pissed all down my trousers.

- Oh, yeah?

Still, you won't mind that, will you?

I said it don't go there.

But he don't listen, know what I mean?

He's a knob.

He kept pushing. And I kept telling him

and then the f***ing thing snapped.

- A right knob.

- About 30 quids worth.

- He should get the boot.

- I've been f***ing saying that.

- Hello, Rog.

- Hey, Robin.

- How are you?

- Oh, I'm OK.

- How are you?

- F***ing knackered.

Come on and have a drink.

What can I get you?

- Robin!

- Fancy one of these?

You're looking so well, isn't he, Roger?

- Greatful clients sent me a couple of cases of that.

- Oh, I've got you this.

- You shouldn't have.

- And I must say, it's bloddy nice. Here you are.

- And you've put on a little bit of weight.

- Do you think? - Yeah, it's good.

- See what you think.

- Thanks, cheers.

F***ing...

See how I trust my lovely

Shropshire lad! You've got to call me now.

Silly bastard!

- Something about summer, isn't there?

- Yeah.

Gets the old sap rising. Ever get the feeling

sometimes that you're missing out.

- That the party is going on without you.

- You don't feel that, do you?

It's all a bit aimless, you know.

Sort of chugging along.

Something about the kids going to university.

I feel a bit itchy in the foot department.

I want to play the field again.

Well, I've been playing the field since I

was 15, it's not all it's cracked up to be.

I need women.

I just love them, you know?

Well, you've got one.

It's not the same though, is it?

So what's your name then?
