INT. ASHWORTH CASINO - EVENING
Tom walks into the casino and towards the bar, where his college Ray is working.
Ray: Good'day Tom, perked yourself up from the loss?
Tom: Yeah, you have to pick yourself up and get on with it don't you?
Ray: As long as you've learnt from your mistakes...no more gambling!
Tom: Ah, I'm not so sure about that...I have a new weapon on my side!
Tom waves his new credit card around, clearly showing off to Ray.
Ray: Crickey Tom! Look mate, seriously, you have to stop! You're messing with money that you haven't got...one slip at the table and you'll be grands worth of debt with the bank, is that what you really want?
Tom: I know it's not ideal, but I need to get that money back...don't worry I'll be careful...
Ray: Tom, it's well and good saying that, but in the heat of the moment, the addiction will kick in, you'll raise to see the next card..then the next, and then you'll be sure you have the better hand...it's too risky. I'm not telling you this to be a nag, but the same thing happened to me, it was the worst time of my life, it's not appealing to be facinbg bankrupcy as you turn 30...
Tom: Thanks for the advice Ray but I know this time I will get it right...
Tom heads off to play a game of poker. Ray looks on, and takes a deep breath, concerned.

Kyle: That's all good then?
Craig sighs as if there is a catch. Kyle sits down, ready to listen to it.
Craig: The only problem is laundering money...I can't go around with grands worth of drug money...
Kyle: And?
Craig: Well let's just say there's a shortage of "reliable sources" at the moment...the less people I have ties with the better if you know what I mean...
Kyle: And you think I can help?
Craig: Oh don't act like you have morals now, you're all too willing to take a cut of the profits, but you need to do me a favour in return... you seem like a man who moves in them kind of circles, so...know of anyone?
Kyle: It just so happens that I do, I can take care of it if you want...
Craig gives Kyle a serious look, as if to check if he can trust him.
Craig: Alright then...but if you mess me around...I'll kill ya...
Kyle: Don't worry Craig, I value my life, so I'll make sure I get the job done well...
Craig: Excellent :D

Claire: Please Chris, come on down...and we can all begin to sort out our problems...don't do it...

Simon: No Charlie, there's every need... I admit I haven't been a good dad to you, and it's about time I started being one... and it sounds like you need one at the moment...
Charlie: I'm a grown girl Dad! I don't need you hear checking up on me every five seconds!
Simon: Well judging on recent events I'd have to disagree, so until you can show some signs of maturity young lady, you wont be getting rid of me...

Chris: Yeah, but it's had such an effect on our friendship, we'll never be the same again...

Simon: It's appreciated, by both of us, even if Charlie doesn't show it at times.
Hilary: She's a wild one that Charlie...
Simon: I'm sorry for her behaviour of late, I don't know what's caused it...probably her mom dying, and the divorce and everything..
Richard: You have nothing to apologise, it's just a phase she's going through. I had it with Ed, my youngest...
Simon: The one that's...
Richard: (Uncomfortably) Dead? Yes.
