The Dream Children Page #6

Synopsis: Troubled TV personality Steven Evans struggles to find meaning in his life in the face of the superficial world he has created. Smothered by celebrity and materialism, Steven's only respite is through solitary visits to the ocean and shallow sexual encounters with the acquaintances that orbit his life. When his long-term partner hurls him headfirst into fatherhood, Steven's initial reluctance is gradually replaced with love, as he discovers, in his new family, a bond stronger than any he has experienced before. But the return of an unexpected visitor triggers off a series of events that thrusts Steven and his family into a cycle of loneliness, self-destruction and grief.

I've really got to go,

because I've got to get to...

That's OK, that's OK.

Look, um... Chris is...

I'm his partner.

Yeah.

- [scoffs]

- Look... no!

Please, please, just sit down.

Please just listen.

One minute, one coffee.

OK'?

I've really got to

get more [inaudible],

they can't get me

in before 4:
00.

All right, all right.

Um, I'll get the coffees.

Cappuccino, latte, macchiato-

Hot chocolate?

Long black, short black?

What will it be?

A scone.

A scone?

Two scones.

All right, two scones.

Thanks.

Please, sit.

Must be great to have a baby.

I haven't got it yet.

Oh, she's... she's

away, or... something?

No, you just can't

see it, not yet.

Why?

[scoffs] I'm pregnant.

Pregnant?

Yeah.

[sniffs]

[music playing]

Pregnant.

I just-I don't understand.

I mean...

- What, why?

- Why?

Why. why...

Yes.

Why I put the ad up?

Yes.

Why I wanted to sell it'?

'Cause I've got no money

and nowhere to f***ing go,

that's why.

So I could sell it lo...

A nice couple, you know.

And you seemed pretty cool.

And I get here, and all I

find is a... a couple of fags.

Yeah, all right.

OK, look.

Nancy?

Nancy, we can help you, OK'?

With-with the birth,

with the pregnancy.

All of it.

Other people have contacted

me, straight people.

Yeah, I... I understand that.

But we can help you.

It'll cost money, you know.

I'm not donating.

Of course.

I have to think about it.

I've got to go.

Chris will be back

in a... in a minute.

I'll contact you.

He'll...

I'll give you a call.

Nancy...

[airplane engine]

Alex, you're stressing

me out about this.

I can't talk now.

I'm at work.

Look, I'll give you a

call on the way home.

OK.

All right, bye.

I love you, too.

Sounds like someone's got

you on a short leash there.

Hey, Ajay!-

It's not very

often that we see...

Now, listen, Steven,

I want to talk to you

about some rumors

that are flying

around upstairs at the moment.

Has someone said they're

having my love child...

No, no.

There's a lot of talk going

around about you sucking cock.

Sucking cock?

Normally, I don't listen

to the sh*t that gets thrown

around upstairs,

but these rumors are

filtering up from the bottom.

And when they come from below,

you know, I tend to listen.

Nobody knows dirt

like the plebs.

Well, who's saying it?

Well, I don't want

to be saying anything.

Now, I don't give a

sh*t where you stick

your cock in your spare time.

You want to go dirt track?

That's your business.

But my business is this

show, and our demographic

is the nanas and the fat

old housewives that tune in

everyday to watch

your pretty little mug

smiling back at

her so they can get

all sopping wet in their seats.
