A number of people were absent today and a number of groups were not as far as they needed to be, so the following adjustment was made. The FINAL version of the script is now due to be submitted as a comment HERE BEFORE SUNDAY NIGHT. The assessment concerning being off-book on this scene will also be removed from MySchool.
The FINAL PERFORMANCE of this scene will still take place NEXT FRIDAY, so be sure to communicate and rehearse with your partner if she was absent.

Ashlie -Waitress
Blue -Police man
Izzy - Little boy
Waitress: Afternoon Sarge, day off with the son?
Police man: Yep, off duty for a bit. Thought we’d grab some grub. Any specials?
Waitress: Just the usual but I’m sure I could find something good for the lad.
Little boy: Can I have a strawberry milkshake?
Police man: Make that two please.
Waitress: Two strawberry milkshakes and? Anything else?
Police man: I’ll have the fry up. (opens up the news paper)
Little boy: Me too!
(waitress smiles and writes down the order )
Waitress: Sunny side up?
Police man: no other way.
(waitress exits)
Little boy: So we are really gonna go to the shooting range?
Police man: I don’t see why not.
Little boy: and I’ll really get to hold a gun?
Police man: (smiles) Only if you’re strong enough.
Little boy: Oh I am, I’m stronger then all the boys in my class, everyone says Rodger is the strongest but it’s aint true…. I threw him on the floor once and made him cry.
Police man: why on earth did you throw him on the floor?
Little boy: he said I didn’t have a daddy and that no sheriff would ever a want me as a son, and he says that’s why your always at work.
Police man: Well that’s not right, but its not enough for you to be throwing him around, I thought you knew better. Coz im telling you… I don’t wanna have to end up picking you out of a mishap, because you can handle a little mouth.
(waiter come back)
Waitress: Two milkshakes with extra strawberry. (to the child) I even managed to get you some hundreds and thousands. I know they r alittle girly for yall but I always think they add that little crunch.
Little boy: (smiles) Thank you
Police officer: actually I’d rather have a coffee instead.
Waitress: (smiles) right away.
(turn to grab coffee and cup starts pouring)
See the thing is about a good tasty milkshake is that-
Police man: -that will do. (Signaling his coffee cup is full)
Watress: (*wops expression* puts the coffee down) you can never have enough flavor.. what do you think?
Little boy: mmm
Police man: Have to heard about the robbery on the east line centre, 12 hostages, guns and hooded men, I actually managed to take one down myself.
Waitress: reckon you deserve an award then.
Police man: you reckon? Well tell that to the head, he just gave me a pat on the back and told me i did good.
Waitress: Was at the right place at the right time, don’t they say?
Little boy: did you shoot him?
Police man: there aint no real thanks in this line of business, you just got do what you have to do.
Waitress: aa! Speaking of which orders up.

Little boy: so can I?
Police man: Can you What?
Little boy: Use your gun. I just know I can shoot them targets down.
Waitress: got you some ketchup. Need anything else?
Little boy: tell him I can shoot a gun.

Matilda=Sara (S)
Astrid=Lily (L)
(Lily enters humming with the washing when Sara comes on screaming and crying)
L: What's wrong?
S: He did it again! I'm bleeding..
L: Oh, Sara. Its ok.
S: NO ITS NOT! Why does he always do this? It's not fair. I wish he was dead!
L: Don't say that! That's not true. Take it back.
S: No
L: NOW
S: No, I wont. I hate him. Dont you? He does it to you too.
L: No he doesnt.
S: Yes he does, I've heard him and seen you after.
L: No it's not true.
S: Then whats that on your face?
L: Nothing.
S: Yea right (rolls her eyes)
L: It's nothing, okay?!
S: FINE! (walks away and sits on the grass)
PAUSE
L: Ok I’m sorry i had a go at you. I didn’t mean to. You know you mean the world to me. I’m sorry.(walking over to her and patting her head)
S: If I mean the world to you, then why is it so hard for you to tell me the truth?
L: Because you're my baby sister and I want to protect you. I don’t want you to hate our father for what he does to me.
S: and me..
L: I know...
PAUSE
S: Lily?
L: Yes?
S: Why does he do it?...Doesn’t he love us?
L: No..he does...
S: So what's the, I mean, wh...why? Why does he hurt us?
L: Well you know, its because we remind him of her, I guess..
S: Shouldn’t that be a good thing?
L: Well. I guess it should but its just been hard for him lately you know..
S: No I don’t know!
(Lily hugs her)
L: Well, its been hard for dad at work and everything. And after mum died its been even harder on him to take care of us and go to work where he has to work even longer hours to be able to support us.
S: but that’s still not a good enough reason.
L: after mum died, and grandma and grandpa stopped talking to us, it wasn’t because they were going away, it was because they blamed mums death on dad and they don’t want to talk to us because we reminded them of her.
S: How could they think that? How could they blame it on dad? That’s not fair. Its not his fault that mum got sick. Lets write to them and tell them that they’re wrong.
L: Sara, it wont help I’m afraid.
S: Yes it will. And then they can come and live with us for a bit so daddy can get better.
L: it wont matter, Sara. They’ve already made up their minds.
S: what so you’re saying that they never want to see us again. That they wont come and visit me on my birthday? That they don’t care about us?
L: No honey, that’s not it. They’re just so upset that they can’t.
S: Don’t they think we’re upset? She was our mum and dads wife and we need them. Lets write to them and try at least. That’s what mum used to say. Never give up!
L: I know.
PAUSE
S: so do you have their address?
L: yeah its in mums address book.
S: so where’s is it?
L: in the attick.
S: lets go get it.
L: no we cant, what if dad sees us...
S: he wont. we'll be quiet, come on!
L: ok fine.... but sara, all her stuff is up there, im not even sure i can deal with that, can you?
S: yes, because it will remind me of her and although i will cry and get really sad, it will bring back memories and make me happy.
L: so you're sure.
(sara nodds)
L: ok, but stay quiet.
PAUSE (as walking away)
S: wait sara, if they reply, what do we tell dad.
L: i dont know, we'll come to that when we have to.
S: wait and what if they dont reply?
L: then we just pretend that none of this ever even happened. understand?
S: yes. ok lets go!
EXIT
M: Mother P: Polly (daughter)
ReplyDeleteM: Where have you been?
P: why does it matter? (Mutters)
M: You're still living under my care and I expected an answer young lady.
P: Yeah night Hannah.
M: How dare you talk to me like that, I am your Mother and you will respect me.
P: What i do outside this little place is by my free will.
M: I demand an answer i can not let the village think i can not control you, what would your Father say?
P: How dare you make me feel guilty, it's not my fault he died at battle.
M: It isn't my fault either, I can not change what has happened, but i know he would never let you go gallivanting around the village getting up to no good.
P: You have no idea what i do.
M: The whole village has spoke about you, I can no longer walk to the village without being stared at. Those people are disgusted. Why must you bring shame to our family?
P: The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
M: What is that supposed to mean?
P: Oh you know I've heard of what you've done before you met Dad.
M: I had a reason, you don't.
P: Oh, and that makes it ok. Like you know what i do for a reason and what I don't.
M: I've heard enough of you're antics, you will obey me.
P: You can not judge right from wrong, I've heard enough.
M: Don't try and avoid the conversation.
P: Theres nothing left to say, iam going out!
M: How dare you defy me!
P: you don't let me do anything.
M: You are 16 years old, you should not do these things.
P: I can do whatever I like (walks out from a house)
M: Where do you think you going? Stop. STOP right NOW. Polly. (Runs for Polly)
P: Your not. (She grabs Polly, and pulls her hand back. Polly pushes her hand away and accidently hits Mother's face)
M: ive had enough of this! (screams) you have no respect for yourself! Just stop it, please just stop it!
P: I’m sorry I jus can’t (goes and weeps in corner)
M joins her after a few seconds
M: Can’t you see what this is doing to me? Don’t you have enough respect to show me you care; you and I both know if Charles was here you’d be very sorry! You’re lucky I’m not as hard, but that doesn’t me you get to go out and disobey me.
P: I know I know, it’s just…
M: what? What is it? You can tell me…
P: Ever since dad left you don’t seem to care any more….you only care about what others think of you, you never have anytime to see how I feel, you’re only worried about your reputation.
M: but, but that is not true! Don’t twist your mistakes onto me!
P: Here you go again I’ve had enough..im leaving he’s waiting for me (points at a man)
M: what? Where are you going?
P: Anywhere away from YOU!
P exits leaving M sitting alone on Stage!
