Val: I was wondering when this was going to arrive... (she looks up, and see's his obivously angry face) darling, its just a bit of cash...
James: Its a bloody grand! Why the hell is he doing giving you that kind of money?!
Val: This and That. You know how it is.
James: Well, no i dont! I dont want that bloke thinking this family is a charity case! I'll provide for this family no matter what!
Val: I'm sure you would, mind a bit of pocket money wont go a miss.
James: Just tell me why he's gving you the bleeding money!
Val: I know something about him. The poor darling doesn't want it getting out, so he's giving me little presents like this, Convinent aint it?!
James: So your blackmailing him!? Val, how could you?!
Val: Easily. He's breaking poor Amy's heart- i might as well get something out of him before it all gets out!
James: What d'ya mean "breaking her heart"?!
Val: He's having it off, with someone else. An affair, a bit on the side, whatever you want to call it. Fact is he's doing it. With someone, not too far from Amy's friendship circle...
