INT. JENKINS MANOR - NIGHT
Hilary is parading around looking agitated (clearly an act). Nick is flicking trough various documents frantically. Richard returns, pours himself a drink and downs it in one.
Hilary: What did Helen say? Any luck?
Richard: No... he's got away with it, there's nothing we can do about it...
Hilary: Oh Richard...I don't know what to say...
Richard: Don't say anything... I don't want to talk about it... I've made a bloody stupid mistake and just want to forget about it!
Nick: It's not the end of the world tough dad...
Richard: Nick we've lost just under a million pounds with this deal! They're not gonna be sending in the ballifs anytime soon, but even so we cant afford to loose that amount of money!
Nick: Well you've got me thinking, and I've got an idea...
Hilary looks slighty concerned that an idea has arisen.
Richard: What do you mean and idea? An idea about what?
Nick: The empire... we need to improve some of our services, get the maximum out of what we have...
Richard: There's nothing wrong with our services!
Nick: Oh there is and you know that...how many people go to the Bingo Hall each week? 50? 100? Just regulars...
Richard: What are you getting at?
Nick: Well we should close it down, renevate it...turn it into a state of the art lesuire complex...swimming pool, gym, sauan, beauty salon, restauraunt... give the regulars and the holidaymakers something to spend their money at! What do you say!?...

INT. RED RUM UPSTAIRS FLAT - NIGHT
Amy is watching the television, curled up on the sofa. Hayley walks in with a smug grin on her face, she sits down, still smiling.
Amy: What's put a smile on your face? You're usually more depressed than the Mona Lisa...
Hayley: Nothing much, just had a nice chat with someone today... never spoke to her before...
Amy: Who?
Hayley: (Smug) Natasha Jones...:p
Amy: What the hell are you talking to that marraige wrecking slut for...
Hayley: She's a pretty little thing, told me all about her and dad... I'm surprised he come back to you after he'd been with her...
Amy: Shut your mouth now before I shut it for you!
Hayley: All I'm saying is he's cheated before, oh and it wasn't the first time was it? :p Keep a careful eye on him...becuase it looks like he might be up to his old tricks...
Amy: (Concerned) What do you mean by that?
Hayley: Well from what I saw earlier dad and Roxy are not just boss and employee...
Amy: No...no... you're lying...this is just one of your sick little tricks...
Hayley: Fine...but when you find out they've been at it...behind your back...in your bed...don't say I never warned you...:p
Hayley walks out of the room, a devious smile on her face.

Me thinks Hilary is going to pass this on to Jared and he is going to beat Richard to it

Looks like Hayley is stirring things up between Patrick and Amy..

INT. RED RUM PUBLIC HOUSE - NIGHT
Roxy is in mid performance, singing Cher's Shoop Shoop song to a crowded pub. Patrick is at the bar.
Roxy: Oh, oh, oh, honey !
Squeeze him tight!
Find out what you wanna know!
promise love, and if it really is,
It's there in his kiss!
(How 'bout the way he acts?)
no no no! That's not the way!
You're not listenin' to all I'm sayin'!
If you wanna know
If he loves you so
It's in his kiss!
Amy storms into the pub, a furious look on her face, all of a sudden she gives Roxy a hard slap around the face, Roxy falls backwards, totally unexpecting Amy's attack.
Roxy: Amy!?
Amy: You dirty little whore! I give you a job here and this is how you repay me!? By flirting with my husband!
Whispered conversations begin around the pub between the punters. Patrick hurries from behind the bar to split it up.
Roxy: I swear to you Amy I don't know what you're on about...
Amy: That's what they all say...deny it...sound innocent! But the reality is you're a marraige wrecking slut!
Patrick: Amy! Enough! Nothing is going on between me and her and that's the gods honet truth!
Amy: Oh and I'm meant to take your word for it am I!? You've told so many lies during this marraige that even a lie dector wouldnt be able to tell if your telling the truth or not! It's second nature to you now Patrick!
Roxy: Trust me Amy! He's not my type at all...
Patrick: Who the hell told you this anyway!?
Hayley looks on in the distance, with a smile on her face. Amy realises that this has been one big trick on Hayley's part.
Amy: Of course! (To Hayley) It was you wasn't it you lying little cow!?
Patrick: Amy!
Amy: No Patrick this is a sick little trick that she's pulled on me, and I'm sick of it.
Amy slaps Hayley around the face, a fight erupts between the pair. The punters look on with enjoyment. Patrick splits the pair up.
Hayley: Did you see that dad!? She just attacked me! Out of the blue!
Amy: It was no more than you deserved you evil little bitch!
Patrick: (Angry) Amy! Shut the hell up! Haven't you made a fool of yourself enough already tonight!? Take a bottle of Vodka and go drown your sorrows alone instead of taking it out on everyone around you!
Amy looks at Patrick, but then starts to cry, she runs off in tears. The punters beginning to laugh/talk about the scene. Hayley has a smug grin on her face. 1 - 0.

INT. JENKINS MANOR - NIGHT
Nick has just told Richard and Hilary about changing the Bingo Hall into a lesuire complex.
Richard: Nick, my son! That sounds amazing!
Nick: Do you like it?
Richard: I love it! It's certainly what we need! We can maximise our profits easily! (To Hilary) I knew we had a clever lad here Hilary... a pride to the family...
Nick: It's only a suggestion...
Richard: Yes but a damn good one! I'll get onto the architect in the morning, make sure he draws up some plans as soon as possible! I can't wait to get this project off the ground... I think this calls for a celebration, champgane everyone?
Richard heads towards the kitchen, but Hilary stops him.
Hilary: I hate to rain on both your parades but how are you thinking of funding this little venture?
Nick: Mom!...
Hilary: I'm just being realisitc here, you've only just lost a small fortune...and you're already suggesting some new grand elaborate money making scheme...which I would imagine to require a considerable amount of money...
Richard: I'm sure we will be able to manage it...
Hilary: Oh have you got a couple of hundread grand stashed away in bank account somewhere that I don't know about all of a sudden!? Eh!?
Richard: Well actually I've been thinking about this for a while now...and this has pretty much made my mind up about it... I'm going to sell the cafe...

INT. RED RUM PUBLIC HOUSE - NIGHT
Roxy is at the bar, still shaken from Amy's unprovoked attack. Patrick is pouring her a drink to settl her nerves.
Patrick: Here take this, should calm you down a bit...
Roxy: Thanks..
Roxy takes the drink and downs it in one.
Patrick: I have no idea what came over the woman, she's a flaming loon when she wants to be...
Roxy: Maybe it's best that I hand in my notice...
Patrick: Nonscence! You're the best thing this pub has had in ages!.. Look this time tomorrow you too will be fine with each otehr again... look have the rest of tonight off...come back fresh to sing some more songs tomorow okay?
Roxy: Cheers Patrick
They say their goodbyes. Roxy makes her way out of the pub, he she passes Chris and Romeo in one of the booths. Chris grabs her attention.
Chris: So you going to be joining the elite circle of women to experience The O Brian treatment?
Roxy: Pardon!?
Chris: Well Patrick's had more women than most of us hot dinners...
Roxy: Well I haven't been and never will be one of them...I prefer a man with brains and emotions...
Chris: Well tonight then Roxy baby is your lucky night! :D
Roxy: You!? Brains!? I highly doubt it...
Romeo laughs out loud at this, Chris is comically offended. Roxy gives Romeo a flirtatious smile, which he returns, she then leaves...

Richard: The cafe... I want to sell it..
Nick: The cafe!? Gary's cafe!?
Richard: (Jokes) Well that's the one we own to my knowledge...
Nick: You can't! It's Gary's!?
Richard: I own it! It's mine! Besides...Gary has been dead for a while now...
Nick: It would be like trampling over his grave!
Richard: Nick it's loosing us money... we've been too scared to do anything with it, leave it as it is, but we can't afford to can we...
Nick: I don't like this idea one bit dad...
Richard: We have to move on...we can't tread on eggshells forever... we stand to gain a lot more from this lesuire complex then we ever did the cafe...I'll put it on the market first thing in the morning...
Nick is furious. Hilary, knowing this will upset Tanya, is delighted...
-

Hayley - what a complete cow, and Patrick should have learnt by now - leave him Amy, get on with your life with someone who deserves you - not him!!

Richard, Tan is not going to be too happy, you sold her house and her husbands cafe!!! Hilary is loving all this
