Callumn: You nearly got me into trouble...

Lauren: (O.S) Why so?

Callumn: Well Tanya questioned why the winebar was closed...

Lauren: Oh don't worry about that dyke...

Callumn: Look Lauren, we're gonna have to rethink this...I can't have Michelle finding out about us...

Lauren: Oh come on, don't make no hasty decisions, yeah it was a close shave, but it just adds to the fun of it...

Callumn: I suppose, but if we get caught!

Lauren: We just have to be more careful from now on, that's all...I can get us a luxury room at one of dad's hotels, you just make your excuses and we can have the whole weekend to ourselves... :p

INT. BACHELOR BOYS' HOUSE - NIGHT

Tom walks through the door, looking as pale as a ghost. Emma jumps up, hearing him come through the door.

Emma: What took you so long, was starting to get worried?

Tom: Oh...erm I went for a walk...had to think things through...

Emma: Why? What's happened babe?

Tom: Craig bumped into me...he wants the money back...pronto...

Emma: God, that man makes my blood boil, threatening people...

Tom: It's my own fault really, but don't worry I'll sort something out babe...

Emma kisses him and takes the shopping off him and heads into the kitchen.

Emma: (O.S) Eh you never guess what, was talking to Mandy earlier, and you know that cruddy little B&B, it's a proper goldmine apparantly...

Something clicks as Emma says this, Tom starts to think...

Tom: Really?... Well well you learn something every day...:D

Just caught up, Simon is a great addition to the cast, i can't wait to see what he gets up to in Baymoore. I hope Tom can manage to pay back Craig, if not, then he's a dead man, i am glad Chris and Romeo are friends again.

And i am loving the stuff with Hilary and the drugs!

INT. HARVEY'S MOTORS - NIGHT

Craig is sat in the garage doing some paperwork. The sound of high heels clicking against the concrete floor can be heard. Craig looks up to see Charlie standing there with her hands on her hips.

Craig: Well I must admit I didn't think I'd be seeing you around here...

Charlie: Yeah well... I'm up for all things once...so what do you suggest?

Craig: A girl like you should know there's a lot on offer...

Charlie: Some weed?

Craig: (Patronising) Purlease... that's for silly little boys who try to act cool... you can't gain people's respect from smoking a spliff...

Charlie: Well, what else then?

Craig: This...is what you want...

Craig gets out a small bag of cocaine from one of the drawyers.

Charlie: That's a bit heavy, isn't it?

Craig: It's not as bad as it sounds... a simple sniff, but the results are mind blowing...

Charlie: You tried it yourself then? :rolleyes:

Craig: Back in the day...

Charlie: You're all mouth, selling it but daring to try it...

Craig: I grew out of drugs when you were in short diapers...look take it or leave it...but I've sold this stuff for over five years and no one's ever had any complaints...

Charlie: Ok then...I'll take it...

Craig: Brilliant... no need to pay me now, I know you're from a...wealthy family...

Craig hands Charlie the bag of cocaine, she stashes it in her handbag.

Craig: There's plenty more where that came from...

Charlie: Yeah, well we'll see how it goes...I best be off

Charlie leaves, Craig grins to himself - another sucker getting addicted...

EXT. BAYMOORE B&B - NIGHT

Tom is stood over the road from the B&B, wearing a black hoody. He sees Annie and Mandy go out for the evening, locking up and heading towards the pub. Tom pulls up his hood and heads over the road...

INTERCUT:

INT. BAYMOORE B&B - NIGHT

The house is in darkness, total silence. Suddenly a brick is thrown through the back window. Tom jumps through the window, flashing his torch he begins to creep around the back room.

Tom heads into Annie and Eddie's bedroom and sees the safe, open. He rumouges through but finds nothing - Mandy has gone to the bank. Tom looks on in dispair.

As a last resort he opens Annie's jewerlly box and throws the various peices of jewerelly and a lottery ticket into his bag. Suddenly a light comes on in the hallway.

Eddie: Hello!? Whose there!?

Tom: (To self) ****!

Tom begins to rush out of the bedroom, he enters the hallway where Eddie is standing there.

Eddie: Who the hell are you!?

Tom tries to rush out of the house, Eddie tries to stop him, but Tom pushes Eddie over.

Eddie: Oi! You! Come back here!

Eddie falls to the floor, clutching his chest in pain, he's clearly having a heart attack.

Eddie: (Weakly) Help! Help me!

INTERCUT:

EXT. BAYMOORE B&B - NIGHT

Tom rushes out of the B&B and runs down an alleyway. Eddie's shouts for help can be heard in the background. Tom rests against the wall of the alleway, breathing heavily. A mixture of emotions releif, shock and fear...

INT. JENKINS MANOR - NIGHT

Charlie walks into the house, trying to get upstairs fast to hide the cocaine from Simon and Tanya. But before she can do Simon is in the hallway, ready to start an argument.

Simon: And where have you been!? Hilary has cooked us all a nice meal and you can't even be bothered to show up and eat it!

Charlie: Where I go is none of your buisness.

Simon: Until your 18 it is my buisness! What was it this time, eh!? Unprotected sex with a stranger? A couple of shots of Vodka down the Red Rum?

Charlie: If you must know I stayed behind for some extra tutoring with my maths! I'm sick of you thinking so little of me! How can I even try and reform when you're there 24-7 expecting the worst of me!

Charlie storms off upstairs. Simon is left feeling guilty for expecting the worst. Once out of site Charlie grins to herself.

Charlie: Tutoring my ****...

INT. BAYMOORE B&B - NIGHT

Eddie is lying on the floor, breathing heavily and clutching at his heart, in great pain. The front door is suddenly opened, as Mandy returns.

Mandy: You alright dad!? It's only me, Annie forgot her purse!

Mandy walks through the private door, and then sees Eddie lying on the floor in pain, she rushes to his aid.

Mandy: Oh my god! Dad! Are you okay!?

Eddie: It's...my...heart...

Mandy starts to panic, and rumouges in her handbag for her phone.

Mandy: Oh god... don't worry...stay in there...

Mandy dials 999 nervously, and waits for a reply. She props Eddie up into the suitable position to help him. His breathing is getting weaker.

Mandy: Hang in there dad...(into phone) Hello, ambulance please, it's my dad... he's having a heart attack...

Eddie holds Mandy's hand tightly. Mandy is emotional, fearing that he is about to die.

Eddie: (Weakly) Mand'...

Mandy: (Into phone) Baymoore B&B...please...quick...hurry...

Mandy puts the phone down. She focuses her attentions on keeping Eddie alive.

Mandy: That's the ambulance, they're gonna get here as soon as they can, okay!?

Eddie: (Weakly) Mandy'...

Mandy: What is it?

Eddie: Take...care....

Mandy: No Dad! Don't give up! Come on, you've got to keep fighting!

Mandy holds onto Eddie, she suddenly bursts into tears ad he slips away in her arms...

INT. BAYMOORE B&B - MORNING

The morning after the night before. Annie and Mandy are sat down at the kitchen table, over struck with grief. Josie is milling about in the kitchen, making them all a cup of tea.

Annie: I just...can't believe that someone would break in, and not help him...

Mandy: Since what have thieves had morals though? They'd rather see dad die than get caught...

Annie: It's not like they stole much...but it's the principle, you know?

Mandy: It's not like it matters anyway is it!? Dad's dad now, that's what we have to focus on, not some bloody jewellery...

Josie walks over with cups of tea.

Josie: I'm sure Annie didn't mean it like that, the death just hasn't hit her yet...she'll soon realise what's happened...

Annie: I am here you know! Of course I know what's happened! And I swear, I'm gonna find out what little scumbag did this to my Eddie!

Josie and Mandy look at each other, concerned for Annie's state of mind.

INTERCUT:

INT. PAWNBROKERS - MORNING

Tom walks into the pawnbrokers and puts down the jewellery on the counter, he picks up the lottery ticket and stuffs it into his back pocket.

Tom: How much can you do me for all this?

The assistant looks at the jewerlly as it's tat.

Pawnbroker: Most of this is costume jewellery, total tat... £500 probably?

Tom: £500!?

Pawnbroker: Take it or leave it...

Tom: Ok...I'll take it...:rolleyes:

The pawnbroker takes away the jewellery, Tom realises that Eddie's death has come about for just £500, guilt starts to hit him...

INT. JENKINS MANOR - DAY

Richard comes home, looking annoyed, he pours himself a drink from the drinks cabinet to steady his nerves.

Hilary: It's a bit early to be hitting the gin isn't it?

Richard: I waited two bloody hours for Dareen Carter to show up! He never bloody came!

Hilary: Show up for what?

Richard: I was meant to be meeting him this morning to discuss a new buisness venture...

Hilary: Richard dear...don't you remember...?

Richard: Remember what?

Hilary: I told you last night that Darren had to cancel last minute...clashed with a scan for his firstborn....

Richard: No you didn't...

Hilary: For God's sake Richard are you calling me a liar!? I specifically told you! I know you've been getting forgetful of late but this is just ridiculous!

Richard: (Confused) I'm sorry, it's just... I forgot...

He walks out of the room dazed, questioning whether she told him. Hilary has a devious grin on her face.

Hilary: (To Self) Stupid old fool :D

INT. JENKINS MANOR - DAY

Charlie is lying in her room listening to music. Simon is on the other side of the door, trying to apologise.

Simon: Come on Charlie, don't be silly open the door please...

Charlie: Go away dad!

Simon: Five minutes! That's all I ask!

Charlie: Get lost!

Charlie raises the volume on her stereo to block out Simon's voice.

Simon: Look I'm sorry for not having confidence in you, but judging on recent behaviour...

Charlie gets the bag of cocaine out of her hanbag and makes a line of it. She rolls up a ten pound note and snorts the line of cocaine. A rush of energy coming to her, as she whipes her nose and smiles to herself in glee...

INT. BACHELOR BOYS' HOUSE - NIGHT

Tom is sat in the living room, aimlessy staring into space, trying to come to terms with recent events. Chris walks into the room and sits down beside Emma and Romeo on the sofa.

Chris: What are you watching the lottery for?

Emma: Waiting for Casualty to come on...

Chris: What d'ya want to watch that drivel for? The death rate on that show is ridiculous...

Romeo: Eh, talking about death...what about poor old Eddie at the B&B...shocking isn't it?

Chris: I know are, letting him die for a couple of peices of jewellery...there's some real scum on this planet...

Tom looks incredibly guilty as they say this, he closes his eyes in despair.

Romeo: I used to feel safe in this neigborhood, but nowadays...

Emma: Sush...the numbers!

Chris: Why? It's not like you have a ticket...

Emma: Yeah I know, but it's tradition like...

Chris gives Emma a funny look as she listens to the numbers being called...

Ball Caller: First up tunight is number 36, last draw 2 weeks ago...next up number 25, followed by....number 7, haven't had that one in a while...

Tom casually pulls the lottery ticket out of his pocket on the off chance, to his amazement numbers 36, 25 and 7 are on the lottery ticket, he leans forward eagerly anticipating the next set of numbers.

Ball Callers: 4th out tonight number 49...followed by number 18, draw three times in the past once...and last of all number 5....and the bonus ball...32...

Tom looks at his ticket, all 5 of the hot pick numbers have come up, he smiles to himself in satisfaction, having won £130,000....

:eek::eek: what the hell is going on with Tom.. he was always the sensible one of the batchelor boys, now he owes craig 10K, killed (well didn't help) Eddie and he has won this money with Eddie's lottery ticket (I bet they will know it was Tom cause they are number Eddie used for years)

Charlie, you stupid girl, getting drugs from Craig..

Brilliant work bry..

I have to say im loving Charlie i hope she sticks around for a long time.

INT. RED RUM PUBLIC HOUSE - NIGHT

Tom, Romeo, Chris and Emma walk into the pub. Tom looks slighetly worried, but the others are joly and excited over Tom's lottery win. They are singing "We're in the money"

All: We're in the money! Come on my honey! Let's spend it, send it, rolling along!

Everyone looks at them as though they've lost the plot.

Chris: A bottle of champagne please Paddy! We're celebrating!

Patrick: Why had a bit of luck on the geegees?

Romeo: No! Tom's won on the lottery! £130,000!

The room is alight with buzz, as the punters begin discussing this and congratulating him. Annie immediatley jumps up to confront them.

Annie: Say what?

Emma: Tom's won on the lottery! Five numbers on the Hot Picks! £130,000 grand! Aint that great!? :D

Annie snatches the ticket off Emma, they all look at her as if she's mad.

Annie: This is our ticket! That's Eddie's five numbers! You little scumbag! You're the one that robbed our house, and killed Eddie!

Tom: You what...?

Romeo, Chris and Emma immediatley defend Tom.

Romeo: Oi! Just becuase he's got the same numbers as you Annie...

Annie: Funny how our ticket was robbed last night, and then someone else in the same village wins with exactly the same numbers the day after!

Emma: It's just a coincidence Annie!

Chris: Yeah! You're just jealous that he's won...and you...haven't!

Annie: (To Tom) What have you got to say for yourself eh!? You murdering scumbag! Did you rob it!? Eh!?

Tom: No, of course not! Eddie was telling me that he'd worked out these numbers were likely to come up...so you know I took his word for it and gave it a go...

Annie: I don't believe you!

Romeo: Yeah well dya know what, we do, now we're sorry about Eddie and everything but Tom didn't do this, okay!?

Everyone starts talking amongst themselves and giving Annie looks of disgust.

Annie: (To Tom) I'm on to you lad...

Josie: Come on Annie, I think it's best we go...

As the pair leave everyone goes back to talking about Tom's win. Tom takes a nervous gulp and looks very guilty, from across the room Emma spots this, putting two and two together she realises that Annie was right...

INT. RED RUM PUBLIC HOUSE - NIGHT

The pub is a buzz with excitement over Tom's lottery win. In the background the Bachelor Boys are lauging and joking. Amy is stood at the bar, staring into space. Vicky comes over to her.

Vicky: Amy, you alright babe, you seem...lost?

Amy: I was just thinking, you know...about Hayley and the baby and everything...

Vicky: Maybe it's best to...

Amy: How could she do that to me? Take my money and my confidence, my trust...and then betray me and Patrick like that...she knew how much I wanted a baby!

Vicky: I can't believe what she did to you babe...it doesn't bare thinking about does it?

Amy: Yeah well I can't help but keep brining it up...it's driving me mad... it was so cruel and horrid...

Vicky: I can imagine...how as Patrick taken it?

Patrick is in the back hallway, he eavesdrops open hearing his name.

Amy: He's hurt at Hayley's betrayal but as for the child, he doesn't care...I tell you what though Vick', I've never felt so low in my whole life...

Patrick overhear's Amy desperate cry for help, and starts thinking...

EXT. RED RUM PUBLIC HOUSE - NIGHT

Tom is sat outside the pub, at one of the tables, smoking a cigarette and staring out to sea, deep in contemplation. Emma sits down beside him.

Emma: Was she telling the truth?

Tom: What?

Emma: Annie...as soon as she left I saw you...you looked as pale as a ghost...

Tom: So would you if you'd just been accused of theft and murder...

Emma: Only if I was guilty...

Tom: What? Are you saying you think I did it!?

Emma: Let's not play games here Tom, I know you did it...just admit it...

There is an awkard silence between the pair, as much as confirming that Annie was right.

Tom: It wasn't as though I'd stolen that much...

Emma: It's the bloody principle Tom! Stealing is stealing! Not only did you steal that poor woman's lottery ticket, you ran away and let her husband die!

Tom: I know! But I swear I never intended to hurt anybody! I just needed to clear this debt...and...and....It was the only option left babe! I had Craig pressuring me...threatening me....threatning you!

Emma: So you thought you'd go rob an innocent couple of their profits, and in the process ended up killing one of them!?

Tom: It's not like that! And you know it!

Emma looks at Tom in disgust.

Emma: What have you become?... You're the bloke that I once knew...the Tom I know would never have robbed, lied and cheated...infact the Tom I know would never have even got into this situation in the first place!

Tom: I only ever gambled to make money for our own place! And I only robbed to protect you babe!

Emma: (Coldy) I think we need a break from each other...

Upon saying this, Emma walks off, leaving Tom alone, devastated...

INT. RED RUM UPSTAIRS FLAT - NIGHT

Amy walks up the stairs, feeling depressed and exhuasted. She walks into the living room, where soft music is playing. The lights are out, and in it's place a few candles scatterd around the room.

Amy: What's all this Patrick?

Patrick carries two plates from the kitchen to the dining table, which has been dressed up for the ocassion.

Patrick: I thought I'd cook you a special meal babe...

Amy: And what is this supposed to achieve?

Patrick: I heard you talking to Vicky earlier...and welll...I wanted to make you happy...

Amy: Happy!? And you think your burnt offerings of a meal are gonna cheer me up!? You have no idea how unhappy I am Patrick....

Patrick: I can imagine...

Amy: Yeah well imagine that and times it by 100! That little bitch has taken every last shred of hope from me Patrick! And now, thanks to her, I have nothing!

Patrick: You have me...

Amy: Big deal! :rolleyes: I want a baby Patrick! That's all I want! And I can't have one!

Amy starts to sob uncontrolably, Patrick holds her in his arms, looking very concerned for her...

Understand Amy is hurt but at least Patrick is making an effort here.. mmm wonder if Emma will say anything to Anne or will she keep this to herself???

INT. BACHELOR BOYS' HOUSE - MORNING

Romeo is sat on the sofa watching TV. An advert comes on for a combilation albumn of love songs. He switches off the TV and sighs to himself. Chris walks into the room.

Chris: Hey...what's up?

Romeo: Let's just say Romeo by name, but not by nature...

Chris: I know the feeling, what happened to the times when we had the women queing around the block for a peice of us eh?

Romeo: We're ten years older now...they want younger models...

Chris looks at himself, worrying that he has lost it.

Chris: I'd like to think I've got everything them young lads have...but with more experiance...

Romeo: We should be settling down, not chasing skirt like we used to...

Chris: No thank you! I don't intend on "settling down" for a very long time to come yet...

Romeo: I've had enough of the dating game, I just want to find the one, and settle down with her...

Chris: Well you stive have a chance mate...

Romeo looks at Chris blankly.

Chris: Roxy!?

INT. JENKINS MANOR - DAY

Nick is sat in the living room ready a glossy magazine, Nick walks in and sits down beside her.

Hilary: Hiya Nick, shouldn't you be at work darling?

Nick: Yeah, but I wanted to have a word with you...

Hilary: About what?

Nick: It's dad...I'm getting a bit worried about him...

Hilary puts down the magazine and focuses her attentions on Nick.

Nick: He seems to be getting really forgetful...

Hilary: It's just his old age son

Nick: No, it's more than that! It's been happening a lot recently...he keeps forgetting that have been arranged months in advance, important ones... and just last week I asked him to order in some timber for the new cabins at the holiday camp and he ended up ordering double the amount I've asked for...

Hilary: Look, he's had a lot on his mind recently what with Charlie, and then all this stuff with Jared Ashworth and all...

Nick: Don't go making excuses for him mom, I really think there's a problem there...

Hilary: Look, you needn't worry, I'm sure it's just a phase he's going through...

Nick: I hope so mom...I really do...

Nick has a concerned look on his face, Hilary is barely able to contain her delight...

INT. BACHELOR BOYS HOUSE - MORNING

Chris: Well you stive have a chance mate...

Romeo looks at Chris blankly.

Chris: Roxy!?

Romeo: Oh I'm not so sure Chris...

Chris: Come on, I say you give her a call...

Romeo: No, I well and truely blew that one...

Chris: You didn't mate! She was crazy for you, she only left because of the baby buisness, and seen as...well... seen as you're not the father then there's nothing stopping you two getting back together...

Romeo: It's not as easy as that though is it mate?

Chris: Why shouldn't it be? Honestly why do people have to complicate love!? You love her, and I bet you my final tenner she stills loves you!

Romeo: Hold your horses, she's a fiesty one, and she probably still holding a grudge...infact knowing Roxy that's almost certain...

Chris: You'll never know if you don't try, you just need to give her an insentive to let go of any grudges she might have...

Romeo opens his mouth to argue, but Chris interupts...

Chris: I'm not taking no for an answer here Romeo Carboni! So go upstairs, smarten yourself up and go and get her back into your life! :D

Chris words cause Romeo to get up, with an optimistic smile he runs upstairs to get changed. Chris looks at himself in the mirror...

Chris: Sex god and matchmaker all rolled into one...God I'm good :cool:

INT. RED RUM PUBLIC HOUSE - DAY

Patrick and Amy are behind the bar. Amy is staring mopily into space, there is an awkard atmosphere between the pair following last night's heart to heart.

Claire walks into the pub, pushing baby Nathan in his pushchair.

Patrick: (Jokingly) Oi! There's a few years yet before we start serving him a pint :D

Claire: He'll be starting young if our family has anything to do with it...

Patrick: What can I do for you love, didn't think you had a shift today?

Claire: An old school mate wants to go out tonight, and well...I wondered if Amy wanted to babysit...

Patrick looks over at Amy who looks very depressed.

Patrick: I don't think that's such a good idea at the moment, she's been down about the whole baby issue, what with Hayley and everything...

Claire: Oh right, yeah, I never thought sorry...oh well I'm sure aunty Emma can look after him for a few hours, take her mind off the whole Tom fiasco...

Patrick: Them two on a break? God it's none stop in Baymoore...

Claire: Tell me about it, anyways Paddy I'd best be off, see you tomorrow...

Patrick: Yeah bye...

Patrick walks over to Amy and wraps his arms around her.

Patrick: You alright babe?

Amy: What do you think?

Patrick: I tell you what, little Nathan is sure growing up fast, i'm sure he's shot up since I last saw him...

Amy: Yeah, well make the most of it, becuase the only chance we're gonna get of seeing kids grow up is through other people's children...

Patrick: Actually, Am'...I've been thinking about that...and well...I was thinking maybe we could adopt?

Amy turns around suddenly as Patrick says this, a sudden ray of hope given to her.

Amy: You what!? Are you joking me!?

Patrick: No...If it's what you want, then it's what I want...

Amy beams with hapiness, jumping around in excitement.

Amy: Oh my god Patrick! You don't know how happy I am to here you say that! I never thought I'd see you come around to the idea...

Patrick: Yeah well, things change don't they?

Amy: I'll get onto the adoption services later on, and hopefully they can fit us in for an appointment before the end of the week! :D Oh come here!

Amy launches herself at Patrick, giving him a hug. Amy is beaming with hapiness. The camera shows Patrick's face, he's not exactly happy but feels as though he has no other choice...

ah no.. Romeo is getting back with Roxy.. I was hoping she was gone

INT. BACHELOR BOYS' HOUSE - DAY

Tom walks into the living room, on his phone.

Tom: Alright, so if I come in later, we can arrange for that to be done? Ah right... thanks, I'll see you then...

Chris looks at Tom curiously.

Chris: What was that then? Thinking about a buying a Rolls, or a house in the country?

Tom: No, I'm not wasting this money Chris...

Romeo comes into the room, having got dressed up to go and see Roxy.

Romeo: Come on mate, Chris has a point, you only win the lottery once in a blue moon, treat yourself...

Tom: Its £130,000 not a million, that will soon go if i fritter it away!

Chris: Yeah, but you can't be an old prude and put it all into a "savings account" :rolleyes:

Tom: Actually, I'm going to pay off our mortgage...

Chris: Oh, you are such a bore!

Tom: Yeah, but I may aswell put the money to good use, meaning we never have to pay for this house ever again...

Romeo and Chris look at Chris as if he's gone mad, clealry unimpressed with his sensible plans for the money...

INT. RED RUM PUBLIC HOUSE - NIGHT

Charlie walks confidently into the pub, swinging her handbag and flashing her boobs to everyone. She sits down by the bar and gets out her purse.

Charlie: I'll have a vodka and coke please...

Amy: No chance...

Charlie: For god sake, I'm 18 in a couple of weeks!

Amy: Until then you're underage, and you aren't worth me loosing my licence over...

Charlie: Fine...:rolleyes: An orange juice then...

Amy pours Charlie an orange juice and takes the money. Craig walks over and pours a shot of vodka into her drink whilst Amy isn't looking.

Charlie: Thanks, how much is it?

Craig: Oh don't worry, what's a shot of vodka between friends? :D

Charlie: We're friends now are we? :p

Craig: Well more...aquantancies... so then, how did you find the old marching powder?

Charlie: Yeah...it did the trick...

Craig: If you want anymore you know where to come...

Charlie: I would, but dad's being strict on the allowance, until I behave...

Craig: Ah right, not such a daddy's little princess after all are you? :p Don't worry about it, I'll give it you on a tab...

Charlie: Why would you do me a favour like that?

Craig: Becuase I know that you Taylors have the money...and becuase I like you....

Charlie: Well, seen as you've put it so nicely I must just take you up on that...cheers

The pair chink they glasses, and take sips of their drinks to seal yet another drug deal.

INT. BAYMOORE B&B - DAY

Annie is sat at the dining table, making calls and arranging the funeral. Mandy comes in with a cup of tea for her.

Mandy: Thought I'd bring you a cuppa...hows it going?

Annie: Okay I suppose...you just have to get on with it don't you?

Mandy sits down and holds Annie's hand.

Mandy: I know it's hard, but once the funeral is over, you'll be able to move on...

Annie: It's not as easy as that though is it? I can't just forget 40 years of marriage with him...

Mandy: No one's saying you have to forget, you just need to be able to move on with life without him...

Annie: I suppose, I've managed to book the funeral in at the local church, I never for one moment thought that they'd have space...

Mandy: Space?

Annie: In the graveyard, I've decided to bury him...

Mandy: Are you sure that's what he would have wanted?

Annie: No offence but you've only known him for half a year or so, I known him by own life, so I'm the one that's best to judge "what he would have wanted"...

Mandy seems to take offence by this.

Mandy: I was only saying...

Annie: I know what you was saying, but I know what's best for my husband, not you, so he's getting buried...

Mandy is left feeling annoyed by Annie's harsh words.

INT. HARVEY'S MOTORS - NIGHT

Tom pops into the garage, where Craig is working on a car.

Tom: It's not often I see you getting your hands dirty...

Craig: Yeah well, it is my buisness, I have to chip in from time to time...

Tom: There's me thinking you were a loan shark and drug dealer...

Craig: Well I can't really put that on the tax forms can I? So...you got my money?

Tom: Yeah, and let that be the end of it...

Craig: I heard about you're lottery win, maybe I should up the intrest rate...

Tom hands Craig the money, Craig counts it and then puts it away safely in his jacket pocket.

Craig: Much appreciated, if you ever need any more favours...

Tom: No thanks, I've made that mistake once, never again...

Craig: Hey, easy, don't bite the hand that feeds, you never know when you might need a helping hand...

Tom: In future I'll stick to the legal methods...

Craig: I'll quote you to that next time you come begging for money...

Tom begins to head out of the garage.

Craig: Oh by the way, me and a few friends are holding a poker night tomorrow...fancy coming?

Tom: No thanks, I've given that mugs game up for good...

Craig: Come on, for old times sake...

Tom: I promised Emma I wouldn't.

Craig: And by all acounts you and her aren't dating anymore, so why feel the need to keep your promise?

Tom: Look Craig, no offence, but I dont want to get involved...

Craig: It's nothing bit, just a few tight fisted gits who aren't gonna put more than £100 in the pot, come on, you can whipe the floor of them...

Tom is reluctant, but gives up arguing.

Tom: When is it?

Craig: Tomorrow night, my place, shall I count you in?

Roxy: (Bitter) Yes...I saw, so did half the nation...

Romeo: Look, life's moved on and I've realised that I want you... infact I've never stopped wanting you...please Rox'...

Roxy is unimpressed by Romeo's whining. She grabs the flowers off him and takes a deep sigh.

Roxy: I suppose you'd best come in then...
