DAWN:
He's the worst liar.
DAWN swings a fist at BILL and chases him inti the room,
raining savage blows upon him.
INT. ROHAN HOUSE - DINING/LIVING ROOM - DAY
Father is white with rage. He seizes them, one in each
CLIVE:
These are the fruits of my loins?
DAWN lunges at BILL. The GRANDMOTHER enters, tall, frail,
elegant, ga-ga, deaf.
GRANDMA:
Is it peace in out time?
GRACE:
(shouting)
No, Mother! It's War! War!
GRANDMA:
Or what?
GRACE:
War! War! War!
The wireless begins to play 'God Save the King'. Father
immediately lets go of the children and stands rigidly to
attention.
The others simmer down and shuffle into stiff and still
poses. GRANDMOTHER, who perhaps cannot hear the Anthem, is
baffled, shakes her head.
The sirens sound. A shocking blast of noises, the sickening
ululations of the air-raid warning. They call out over the
rows of bow-fronted semi-detached, lower-middle-class
houses. Some of the occupants, more daring or more confused
than their neighbours, burst out of their front doors,
turning in frenzied circles, craning at the heavens.
The rigid family once more jerks into movement at the sound
of the siren, looking forcefully out of the french windows,
hiding under the table, clutching each other. The siren
stops. They wait, anxiously. Silence. Even the birds
stopped singing at the wailing of the first siren. This was
perhaps the worst moment of the war, the first moment, when
war was still an unknown dread thing. The siren again, but
this time, a long sustained note.
CLIVE:
That's the all-clear. Testing.
They were just testing.
EXT. ROHAN HOUSE - GARDEN - DAY
CLIVE walks tentatively into the garden, looking up,
shielding his eyes against the sun. The others join Him,
one by one.
