Red Rum upstairs flat- Morning
Patrick and Amy are in the bedroom. Patrick is packing a small suitcase, while talking with Amy
Patrick So basically, I might not be around for a few days. Sorry about not being here last night. I should have rung you, but we got carried away organising this trip….
Amy Do you really think I’m that stupid?
Patrick What?
Amy I saw you, yesterday, in the pub. You were all over that girl. And now you expect me to believe your going on some golf trip? Do I have Mickey Mouse tattooed on my forehead?
Patrick (Puts his arm around Amy)Babe, its not like that. I’d never go behind your back like that….
Amy Your unbelievable. Completely unbelievable. Well you know what? Screw you. You don’t give a damn about me. I’m meant to go to the doctors to get the results today, and you don’t give a flying **** do ya?
Patrick The results? Amy…. I didn’t know…. I guess I could get out of it to go with you….
Amy Forget it. This trip is obviously “so important” to you. More important than me at least. So go, knock yourself out. I’ll go alone….
Patrick No, Amy, I’ll come, just….
Amy (Points to the door) Get out. Go on. Go on your precious trip. See if I care…
(Patrick picks up his packed suitcase, and walks to the door)
Patrick just let me know how it goes, yeah?
Amy Whatever. Just go.
Patrick goes, leaving Amy alone in the bedroom. She collapses on the bed in tears. Then she grabs her phone, and makes a phone call)
Amy (on the phone) Hi, yeah its Amy…. would you come to the doctors with me this afternoon…yeah I know….. it’s a long story, he’s not coming…about 2?….thank you, Val. Thank you so much.

Adam Redding, solictor of the Taylors family, appears in shot, hair roughed up, a few buttons undone on his shirt and his tie hanging loosely around his neck. He puts his hands around Hilarys neck and kisses her. Hilary sists unemotioanlly, still looking at the files.
Hilary: So then...now you can return the favour, how much is Jenkins Manor worth?
Adam: I'm not sure i should...
Hilary: Oh come on, do you think Richard would want to employ a man whos had his hands down the knickers of the top of his shaglist?

Adam: What you mean?
Hilary: You Betcha! It was a pleasure doing buinses with you Adam...
Hilary leaves. Adam has a look of bewilderment on his face.
