Solitary Page #3

I can look after myself.

Look after me, too?

Maybe.

( music fades )

( door opens, closes )

( David sighs )

Nora? Babe, you here?

I come in peace.

Nora?

- What the f***?

- David. David!

- Nah, Nora!

- I'm sorry.

I didn't know!

I swear to God!

Wait, David! David!

- Why?

- I'm a drunk, all right?

I was wasted, that's all!

What, that's it? Huh?

You're f***ing pathetic!

David, please!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

It was nothing.

If it was nothing,

then why do it?

It might nothing to you,

but it means something to me!

I'm sorry!

Okay? I'm sorry.

Get your hands off--

don't touch me.

Just let me explain,

all right?

I'll be back tomorrow night.

You be gone by then.

David, please.

Please, David!

- You all right, love?

- Is Lisa here?

She's a bit busy now.

Can you just tell her

Nora's here to speak to her?

- Please?

- Lise? Lise?

- Lisa:
Yeah?

- Nora's here to see you.

Babe, what's the matter?

Can we talk outside?

Uh, can I just--

can I have

a ciggie break?

- Five minutes, yeah?

- All right.

Sweetheart.

- He'll take you back.

- Not this time.

I can't believe

you went home

with that tosser.

I was sh*t-faced.

I don't even remember

leaving the pub.

Nora, you got to be careful.

You were careful,

weren't you, yeah?

Maybe you should

move back in with your dad.

It might be good

for both of you.

You got to be

with your family

at a time like this.

- You're my family.

- Yeah.

But they're your family, too.

I really f***ed up

this time.

- Listen.

- David was a good one.

Call you sister.

Tell her you changed

your mind.

I'm not moving

back in with my dad.

Can I come

and stay at yours?

Just till I find

somewhere new?

Tommy won't have it.

Well, just for a week.

Not after last time, no.

Well, forget it, then.

Babe, you know

I want to help you.

Sorry for just

showing up like this.

Of cour-- come here.

All right.

Nor, come on.

It's going to be okay.

Yeah.

I'll call you tonight.

Can I help you?

Can I see my sister?

She's busy at the moment.

Well, can you

tell her I'm here?

I can, but I doubt

she'll be able to see you.

You should have

called first.

Just tell her I'm here.

Shannon:

Yes, Max?

Your sister's here.

Send her in.

Okay.

She can see you now.

Great. Thanks.

Stupid b*tch.

( clears throat )

I'm busy.

What do you need?

I just came

to apologize.

Forget it.

I'm sorry

about last night.

- I was rude.

- It's okay.

I mean it,

and I want to help.

I've got it covered.

Don't make me beg,

Shannon.

Fine. Sit down.

Maybe I could help Dad out

for a couple of hours

in the evenings

and some mornings.

Won't David mind?

We broke up.
