Beth is raw with pain.
BETH:
(her voice raised)
Who is she?!

Tess faintly hears. She stops mid chew, listening for more.
19B INT. EVENING. STONEFIELD - DOWNSTAIRS 19B
Nicholas coughs up.
NICHOLAS:
Just a researcher with Radio 4.
BETH:
What’s her name?
NICHOLAS:
Nadia, Nadia Patel.
This hits a nerve.
BETH:
Patel? She’s in your book.
NICHOLAS:
No, no I met her when I was on
Desert Island Discs.
BETH:
You put her in your book!
NICHOLAS:
Just the name.
BETH:
And Desert Island Discs was a year
ago.
NICHOLAS:
Yes but -
BETH:
Once or twice?
NICHOLAS:
I was going to tell you but
GOLDENROD REVISIONS 20.10.09 11A.
19C EXT. EVENING. STONEFIELD. THE GROUNDS (PATIO)
Tess hears it.
19C
Shhh!...
TESS:
Beth’s pained voice drifts out of the house.
BETH (O.S.)
You lying PIG!
A hush falls over the table.
19D INT. EVENING. STONEFIELD - DOWNSTAIRS. 19D
NICHOLAS (CONT'D)
Beth, I’m a ruin, I know - but I’ve
been in a real state about this... I
didn’t want to hurt you.
Another wounded cry from Beth.
19E INT. EVENING. STONEFIELD. KITCHEN. 19E
In the kitchen, Andy picks up his plate and goes.
GOLDENROD REVISIONS 20.10.09 12.
19F INT. EVENING. STONEFIELD - DOWNSTAIRS. 19F
Beth is incandescent.
BETH:
How can you lie to my face?
NICHOLAS:
Can we talk calmly about this?
There are people out there
BETH:
You look me in the face and LIE!
NICHOLAS:
For God’s sake; we’re surrounded by
novelists
BETH:
You BASTARD!
19G EXT. EVENING. STONEFIELD. THE GROUNDS (PATIO) 19G
A thrilled intake of breath goes round the table. The writers
(with the exception of Glen, who is mortified) are poised
like scavengers, waiting for more.
19H INT. EVENING. STONEFIELD - DOWNSTAIRS. 19H
NICHOLAS:
Beth, we’re like a pair of
compasses...
BETH:
Don’t you dare
NICHOLAS:
Joined solidly at the top but with
the ends able to roam, in freedom -
His phone beeps.
BETH:
That’s from her isn’t it? Are you
keeping her waiting?
Nicholas finally snaps.
NICHOLAS:
We’ve talked a lot about the *
creative mind and we agreed that it *
needs freedom to explore! *
GOLDENROD REVISIONS 20.10.09 12A.
BETH:
(leaving the house)
Take your freedom. I can’t live
like this any more. It makes me
feel WORTHLESS!
20 EXT. EVENING. STONEFIELD - THE GROUNDS (PATIO/PORCH). 20
Casey gawps, fascinated.
Nicholas is following Beth outside. Her agony travels through
the quiet evening air. The writers are open-mouthed.
NICHOLAS:
Calm yourself down!
