INT. HARVEYS HOUSE - NIGHT
Leah is sitting at the dining table, look into a half empty cup of hot chocolate. Craig is sitting in an armchair watching the TV, clearly iritated by Leah's edginess.
Craig: Any reason why you're being such a moody bitch tonight?
Leah: Oh shut up Craig!
Craig: Well?...
Leah: Mom's will is to be read tomorrow if you must know...
Craig lowers the volume on the TV and turns around, all of a sudden intrested.
Craig: About time the old witchs death paid out...
Leah: How can you talk about her like that!?
Craig: I'm just stating facts Leah... she's worm food now...no use to us... but this will could prove her death was for a reason...surely your gonna get a cut of her money... the old cow had suitcases full of money stashed away in her bedroom..Mandy denied it but I knew about it...
Leah: Don't speak of her like that...
Craig: Like what?
Leah: Like she's some money making machine...she's my mother and she's dead.... besides I don't know if I even want to go...
Craig: Why the hell not!?
Leah: I dont want another confrontation with Mandy...I just cant face it...
Craig: Stuff her if she gives you a slap, you slap her back...simple as...
Leah takes a deep breath trying to ignore what Craig is saying.
Craig: Look...after tomorrow you dont after ever see the sour faced trout again... but we need to be there for the will, I've got a feeling it could well work out in our favour...
Craig smiles to himself smugly as he lights a cigarette.

INT. ST MARY MAGDALENE CHURCH (TORQUAY) - MORNING
Sunday morning. Tom and Luqina are walking into the church, with the rest of the congregation. Tom is drssed smartly in suit and tie, Luqina is dressed borderline tarty. She is clearly annoyed at having to come.
Luqina: I can't believe I had to get up so early!
Tom: Well you're the one that wanted a church wedding...
Luqina: Yeah, but not a church service first thing every Sunday morning!
Tom: You cant have one without the other
Luqina: Back in Portugal...
Tom: Yeah well here we do things differently, so if you want your fancy church wedding I suggest you sit down and shut up...
Tom sits down, followed by an iritated Luqina who bites her lip.The scene cuts to various parts of the service with the congregation singing happily or listening attentivley to the sermans. Luqina remains annoyed throughout. The action then cuts to the congregation beginning to leave the church.
Luqina: Thank GOD that's over...
Tom: Erm... I wouldnt use his name like that when your in here...
Luqina rolls her eyes as the pair leave the isle. The vicar approaches the pair a welcoming smile on his face.
Vicar: Good morning friends, I hope you enjoyed the service...
Tom: Yeah it was great Vicar, I enjoyed it...
Luqina sucks her teeth and stands on the spot agitated. Tom gives her a gentle nudge as he continues to talk to the vicar.
Vicar: I haven't seen you around here before....
Tom: We're new to the area...
Vicar: Oh right...always nice to see new friends join our parish..
Luqina: We're really religious like... our father,ya know the one on the Vicar Of Dibley, the lord is my shepard and all that...
The vicar looks at the pair unconvinced. Luqina smiles continually, but the vicar isn't impressed.

I wonder if the Vicar will allow for them to marry in his church...

Mandy: Typical. Here to see what you can scrounge off mum, are ya?!
Leah: Get over yourself, i've got just as much right to be here as you do!
Solicitor: Ladies... and Gentleman, of course. Are we ready to begin?
Mandy: Some of us have been ready for 20 bloody minutes! :rolleyes:
Annie: Mandy, come on...
Mandy scowls slightly, and prompts the Solicitor to continue.
Solicitor: In your mothers words "Whenever the time comes for this Will to be read, i hope there is no sadness in my friends and family. I've had a good, life, and had beautifull children, who i wish have te greatest life possible. I leave my house and any other property to my daughter....."
The Solicitor pauses, and looks up at the 2 anxious couples. He continues...
Solicitor: "...Mandy. She has been a rock to me, and deserves only the best. I also leave my money to Mandy"
He looks up. Mandy looks satisfied, whilst Leah and Craig look emotionless and slightly distraut.
Solicitor: However, i would like a very personal item to my daughter, Leah. I ask that my Wedding Ring be given to her. Leah, please find the man of your dreams that you deserve, settle down, and make your own future"
-
Yay - go Margaret!!! That is brilliant!!

Leah: Mandy please...
Craig: I do not believe it, that stupid old bat! How dare she get one up on me and give her MY house!
Mandy: It was never YOUR house in the first place, despite what you always thought...
Craig: I bet she's having a right laugh now isnt she... bloody Craig Harvey defeated by a urn full of ashs... No way am i gonna let that old witch get one up on me! I'll contest it!

Craig: Fine by me...I don't want noting else to do with you, you sad old cow...dont know what I ever saw in you...probably the fact you were so desperate!
Mandy slaps Craig around the face. A smug smile remains on his face.
Craig: Go on...run off back to your grotty B&B. Spend you life cooking breakfasts and making beds...that's all you was ever god for...you cant give a man what he really needs... a good sex life...
Mandy: You *******!
Craig: I've got your sister and I've getting your mom's house...your left with nothing, and it's no more than you deserve... (to self) sad old cow...
Craig gets up from his seat, followed by Leah.
Craig: As they say in Spain...Adios...
Craig and Leah leave the room, holding hands. Mandy is left stunned, Annie tries to comfort me.
Mandy: I can't believe the pair of them!
Solicitor: There's one final thing Mandy...
Mandy turns around to face the solicitor. He pulls out an envelope from his drawer. He hands it to Mandy.
Mandy: You're mother wanted me to give this to you...upon her death. She has regretted keeping this from you for all these years...
Mandy looks at the solictor, confused and emotionless.
-
Ooo - news from the deathbed - so is Mandy adopted maybe - there is definitely a skeleton in the closet there, although Mandy should hold on to the house and let Craig contest it all he wants - it shouldn't change anything! Take him for everything he has instead Mandy, hes the one who went off with your sister!
