The Circuit Page #3

Synopsis: Newly arrived in town Nat and Gabe accept a dinner invitation from the volatile Hungarian Helene and her boorish husband Sasha. Whilst the other guests, ex-Bananarama member Marty, Angie, who 'makes bullets' and the supposedly suicidal Danny are affable enough, Nat and Gabe are shocked by their hosts' very public rows and Gabe's attempt at peace-making is awkwardly received. Nat is taken aback when virtual stranger Helene confides in her about Sasha's suspected infidelity and Gabe is rudely rebuffed when he tries to have a heart to heart with Sasha. After Helene physically attacks her husband the newcomers are desperate to leave but when Danny drops a bombshell Gabe is torn between responsibility and the easy way out.

Gabe,

but won't have a lovely,

lovely evening

when the prawns are for eating,

that's all I'm saying.

For f***'s sake, Helene.

No, you, for f***'s sake. You.

I'm trying to create a lovely,

lovely evening for these people.

For two of our best friends

in the world

and for two people that

we don't even know.

And all you're doing is making

everyone feel f***ing uncomfortable.

Yeah? Well, I didn't even want them

to come. You see?

You see what a charming man

I'm married to?

Look, maybe we should go.

I mean... No, no way.

Just eat your prawns.

Yeah, we have goulash next.

She makes a lovely goulash

so let's just change the subject

and f***ing relax.

So did you move here for work?

Oh, no, not really.

I source promo material for

a phone company

so you can do that from anywhere.

And I actually had a pretty good job

in Strood as far as jobs go.

I'm not actually working

here at the minute.

You know,

I just need to find my feet

cos in Strood

I knew the lie of the land.

You knew a lot of people. Yeah.

You knew everyone. Yeah.

But we're happy to be here.

Oh, yeah, it's a great area. Yeah.

There are some lovely areas

in England.

Yes, there really are.

Yeah. I have been here for some time

and it's a very beautiful country.

It is, not everywhere though.

Have you ever been to Dorset?

For f***'s sake.

Because I have been to Dorset

and let me tell you something

about Dorset.

I hate Dorset.

Oh, you hate Dorset?

Yes, and I was talking to Nat.

How can anyone hate Dorset?

It has coastline, it has villages,

it has countryside,

there's a butcher there

that knows us by name.

Nat, would you excuse me for a

minute? You f***ing bastard.

You f***ing bastard.

Don't do this, Helene.

You sneaky, lying, dirty

little bastard. Don't do this.

You all want to know

what this f***ing bastard did?

You all want to know what a pile

of rat-sh*t puke I am married to?

You all want to know? No, stop,

please. This is just nuts.

What the hell is going on?

What are you doing?

We've just walked in the door.

We don't even know you

and you're at each other

like snappy dogs.

I mean, I don't know what Angie and

Marty think but what do you think

this is like for us?

Look, you've obviously

got something going on

so if you want us to go, we'll go.

Just let us walk out the door.

But if you want us to say,

then, please...

..start talking to each other

like human beings.

I am very sorry...

..if I have offended you.

It was not my plan.

My plan was to give you a lovely,

lovely evening

but apparently I'm holding you

and the best friends in

all the world prisoner.

Oh, no, Helene. No, no.

Apparently, I'm a snappy dog,
