The Night Watch Page #3

care so much about him?

About who he lives with or...

Oh, I see!

It's not like that.

I'm not like that.

Is that what you think?

Maybe he went to Mundy's because

he had nowhere else to go.

He couldn't come home, "Never

return to the scene of the crime",

isn't that what you cons say?

Sharing a cell...

like we did...

The truth is, I wasn't always as

kind to him as I should have been.

I want to do right

by him now, if I can.

I used to watch you,

in that visiting room.

When you walked in, it was like

in The Wizard Of Oz, you know...

when suddenly it all

goes into Technicolor.

Just for a few minutes,

things didn't seem so...

utterly, bloody bleak.

I'd like to call you

sometime, may I?

There's someone

else, of course.

As if I'd ever get that lucky.

Hello?

Wait. Please!

Hello! Wait, please?

PLEASE!

I knew it was you.

You did me a great kindness in

the war. You loaned me this?

I saw you near here last week.

I've been back every

day, hoping to find you.

You shouldn't have

gone to the trouble.

I'd forgotten all about it.

I'll never forget it.

What you did for me.

God bless you!

PHONE RINGING:

Streatham 212?

Viv, Viv it's me!

Where are you, love?

I'm here waiting for ya! Viv?

Viv, I can't stop much longer,

one of the kids is ill. Viv?

Viv?

Viv, are you there?

Answer me, Viv!

AMERICAN RADIO SHOW

Hello?

It was an accident! I'll retype

it for you. I'll start on it now!

What were you doing

in here anyway?

I waited supper for you.

I was at a concert.

God, what a mess.

What was it?

The concert?

Mozart.

You were with

Ursula, weren't you?

Fine, it's her birthday,

she had a dinner party.

She asked me if I'd

help her with it.

Satisfied?

I suppose there were

others like her there.

You mean like us?

Yes, a matter of fact.

As it happens she

invited you too.

I told her you

were unavailable.

Because you still can't cope with

being around queers, can you?

You can't deal with it.

That's not true!

So why is I never meet your friends?

Or you never want to meet mine?

When I do go out, or

anything on my own,

I have to come back to

another of your inquisitions

because I'm so bloody

irresistible that even if a

girl isn't a raving

lesbian when she meets me,

she will be by the time

I've got my hands on her.

You know why I do it.

Because I'm afraid you

no longer love me.

If you ever did.

It wasn't just about revenge?

God, must it always

come back to that?!

We can't go on

like this, Helen.

Torturing each other

over the past.

You need to find a

place of your own.

Sort out who you are,

what it is you want.

It's you I want

Remember when we met?

You loved me then!
