SCENE 12 INT. RED RUM PUBLIC HOUSE – NIGHT
The bar is empty except for a tipsy JAMES and a bored PATRICK.
JAMES How come my life is filled with short straws eh Paddy?
PATRICK What are you blabbing on about now James?
JAMES Well life is filled with lucky chances ent it?
PATRICK What’s this got to do with straws?
JAMES Lucky chances are like straws in the sand, of all the chances I have, I seem to for ever and a day draw the short straw…
PATRICK You haven’t got a clue what your on about you drunken old fool.
JAMES Oh I do my old friend, you see him upstairs dictates how our lives turn out…
PATRICK Be jesus, don’t tell me you believe in all this religious ****tle?
JAMES I donno, but something’s gotta explain why blokes like Richard Taylor lord it up at the manor whilst we live in 3 bed roomed semis.
PATRICK Yeah money, it makes the world go round… that and sex.
JAMES No money isn’t it! You see life’s a game of chance, he had the long straw, he was born into wealth, he does nothing to get his money, where as us normal people graft all our lives and get nowhere near as much!
PATRICK Your just bitter because of that silly little feud you two have going on…
JAMES It’s been going on for over 20 years Paddy, it’s hardly silly Paddy, I have my principals.
PATRICK You need to put it to rest pal, and face facts, you’ll always be a common 3 bed roomed semi owner and he’ll always be lord of the manor.
JAMES Maybe but you can see my point, how unfair it is…
PATRICK Yeah well life is unfair, so you should deal with it mate…

SCENE 13 INT. JENKINS MANOR ED’S ROOM – NIGHT
Ed is in his bedroom, he grabs his bag and is about to leave the room, he stops and looks at a family picture of him, TANYA, RICHARD, NICK, GARY, MELISSA, JACOB and DOREEN. He looks at it, smiles and then places it flat down on the cabinet. He heads out of his room.

SCENE 14 INT. JENKINS MANOR GREAT HALL – Night
The great hall is filled with guests drinking and talking. RICHARD walks in and approaches NICK.
RICHARD Nick…have you seen Tanya?
NICK No…um I think she went out… do you want me to go find her?
RICHARD No it’s too late now, right then…
RICHARD walks to the piano and hits a glass to get everyones attention. The pianist stops playing, the room falls silent.
RICHARD Well firstly I’d like to thank you all for coming here tonight… it’s so nice to see so many familiar faces, family friends, business owners, and some uninvited guests aswell…
The room look at the Bachelor Boys who laugh it off.
RICHARD …But this is a time for celebration, so everyone is welcome to look back on 30 years of the Baymoore holiday village as we know it today…
RICHARD rests against the piano ready to make his speech. NICK turns to GARY.
NICK (uninterested) Here we go…
RICHARD Over half a century ago Baymoore was merely a small Devonshire fishing village. A hamlet of houses and the Red Rum public house…
AMY smiles at this, happy to know she owns a piece of Baymoore’s history.
RICHARD However my father saw the potential that Baymoore had. Its stunning scenery could easily captivate the imaginations of many a holidaymaker. Over a number of years he planned and eventually built the Baymoore Holiday village park, and to accompany it the numerous houses and shops that you all live, work and socialise. 30 years on Baymoore is a strong tourist destination, thanks to the Taylor family and to you. I propose a toast: to Baymoore, may your success continue! To Baymoore!
The guests toast “to Baymoore”. ED walks into the hall a large sports bad in his hands.
-
ED The Taylor family, that’s a laugh!
GARY Ed, don’t cause a scene…
ED A daddy’s boy, a dozy bint and a smack head ruled by an arrogant control freak with two failed marriages behind him!
RICHARD Edward!
The room is silent, some guests have shocked expressions on their faces, others are delighted at such drama. Nick approaches his brother to shut him up.
NICK Leave off ‘eh?
ED Get off me!...this family is a farce! And he (points to RICHARD) is too single-minded to realise it!
NICK Just shut it Ed!
ED No, I want to say what I really think, and then I’m gone… for good…
Richard walks towards Ed menacingly.
RICHARD Go! See if I give a damn! Infact good riddance to you! I’ve had enough that I can tolerate of you! The only farce in this family is you! I’m ashamed to even call you a son!
VAL (Whispers to AMY) God, this is better than Trisha!
ED That’s right let it all out, what you really think of me! You’ve never loved me!
RICHARD violently grabs ED and marches him out of the house, guests follow, fascinated by the scene.
RICHARD And is it any wonder! You’ve been nothing but trouble! You’re an alcoholic, a drug addict, and a criminal. With not a single qualification to your name or any prospects in life! The only thing you’ve ever succeeded in is ruining your life and the family around you!
VAL (Whispers to AMY) Easy Tiger!
INTERCUT:
EXT. JENKINS MANOR – NIGHT
RICHARD and ED’s argument continues outside on the gravelled driveway, an audience of guests peering trough the windows and doors.
ED I hate you!
RICHARD Well that makes two of us! You’re no son of mine! I want you out of this house and out of my life…for good!
RIHCARD throws ED violently to the ground; ED cuts his hand on the jagged gravel. He is practically in tears.

Many people cheer and follow VAL out of Jenkins Manor. GARY and NICK are still by ED offering him comfort. GARY begins to lift ED off the floor.
ED I can’t believe it, he’s practically disowned me!
GARY Come on, up ya get, you can stay and mine and Tan’s.
ED Don’t worry Gaz, I don’t give a damn anymore. As I’ve said already, I’m leaving this place for good. I’m gonna come off the smack…clean up my act… and make a fresh start somewhere else, far away from here…
NICK Look bro, there’s no need, we’re here for you, we can help you get trough it…
ED It’s no good this place is filled with too many bad memories…and people…
ED unlocks his car, and flings his bag in the back.
ED So then, I guess this is it…
GARY and Nick hug him and wish him well.
GARY Good luck Mate…

REBECCA We all loose our temper now and again Richard, what’s done is done…all you can do is apologise and move on…there’s no point in dwelling on it.
RICHARD Has he gone Rebecca?
REBECCA I think so yes…
RICHARD Well that’s it then, we’re finished, he’ll never forgive me for this…never…
Richard starts to get emotional, Rebecca hugs him in comfort.
REBECCA Hey what’s all this…? What’s happened to the Richard Taylor I know? Who dosen’t let anything get him down? You’re a fighter, you’ll get trough this, both of you will and you’ll be stronger for it.
RICHARD I hope so Rebecca, I really do…

Craig appears behind her and touches her shoulder, she is scared.
CRAIG Somewhere a long way away from here…
TANYA What have you done to him Craig?
CRAIG I’ve done nothing goldilocks, left of his own accord…
TANYA Don’t lie to me Craig, you might be able to fool some people, but you cant fool me! You’ve been terrorising Ed for ages, he had no choice but to leave!
CRAIG Not such a dumb blonde after all are you…
TANYA attempts to slap CRAIG, but he grabs her arm, and twists it. She screams out in pain.
CRAIG I wouldn’t advice messing with me Tanya… Ed knows what happens when you do…
He lets go of her, she holds her arm in pain.
TANYA If you’ve done anything to hurt him I swear I’ll…
CRAIG Look, all I wanted was my money back, and now’s he’s paid off his debt…
He grabs the bag off Tanya, and looks inside.
CRAIG …plus interest.
TANYA Where is he Craig? What’s happened to him?
CRAIG That’s for me to know and for no-one else to find out about…
TANYA Please Craig!
