TOM:

Yes! Yes! Yes! Aaaaah.

He does a small bow.

CUT TO:

8 INT. BOUTIQUE DRESS SHOP. LUNCH TIME 8

GEMMA is in a changing area curtained off from the shop.

She is holding a small slutty dress and looking at it.

It’s red and sparkly with holes in it all over the place.

GEMMA:

I’m not sure about this dress Fran.

There is no answer.

GEMMA (cont'd)

Fran! The dress, it’s a bit...

small looking...

Still no answer so GEMMA’S head appears between the curtains

that open out into the shop. She spots FRAN texting nearby.

GEMMA (cont'd)

Fran!

FRAN:

What! Sorry, I’m just flirt texting

my dentist.

GEMMA:

Fran! This dress is... confusing.

FRAN:

Rubbish, it’s the perfect mix of

educated sluttiness. Trust me.

FRAN pushes GEMMA’s head back in the cubicle and resumes

texting. The camera stays with FRAN and we presume GEMMA is

changing into the dress.

FRAN (cont'd)

I thought you were going to

chicken out of this date with

Tom.

GEMMA (V.O.)

Jason drove me to it.

FRAN:

Yeah well he’d drive me to binge

drinking and self harming.

GEMMA opens the changing room curtain to reveal she has the

dress on but it’s over her own clothes - it looks insane as

she obviously doesn’t have it on right.

GEMMA:

I look like Noddy.

FRAN:

I quite fancied Noddy when I was

little - he had his own car.

(looking at her) It might help if

you took your other clothes off.

GEMMA:

Fine.

A resigned GEMMA closes the curtain. FRAN resumes texting as

a SNOOTY SHOP WOMAN walks past and hears.

FRAN:

And I’ll need to bring you up to

date on this Centuries sexual

practices.

A nervous GEMMA pops just her head through the curtain. We

can’t see her body but she’s wriggling a bit during the

following, we assume trying to get the dress off.

GEMMA:

What! (Under her breath) I

assumed sex had remained pretty

much the same over the Centuries.

FRAN:

Who was the last man you slept

with?

GEMMA tries to think.

GEMMA:

Er...was it?...no...er. It could

have been...er..

FRAN:

It was Jason wasn’t it?

GEMMA:

Yes.

GEMMA goes back into the changing room. We stay on FRAN.

FRAN:

Men over 40 need to see flesh to

make the effort. Nowadays people

don't even go on dates, they just

hook up for a quickie between

'Attenborough's Blue Planet' and

'Newsnight'.

GEMMA (V.O.)

(sounds hot and bothered) Really?

FRAN:

Yeah, Attenborough's shows were

responsible for at least three of

my best ever sexual encounters.

You can learn a lot from the animal

kingdom.
