JOHN:

You look stunning....

LUCY:

This silly old skirt, blouse

and heels?

JOHN:

How did you manage to walk

two miles wearing them?

LUCY:

A girl has to do what a girl

has to do John

JOHN:

You'd have got wolf whistled

galore on the way over here

I'd imagine. Uncomfortable?

Yeah - I'm sorry, I'm out of

line....

LUCY:

No – It's fine John. It's been

ages since I've had such a

compliment........So does Suzy

enjoy her job?

JOHN:

Ha ha...She had a slight

meltdown before setting off to

work a few minutes back – She

loves her job but hates it

being in the city.

LUCY:

Maybe she could get a job

close by

JOHN:

Truth be told, I prefer it

this way. It gives me

breathing space throughout

the day, and there's that old

saying - absence makes the

heart grow fonder.

LUCY:

So true - John, I feel a bit

sticky after all that walking.

Would I be imposing too much

to ask if I could take a

shower?

JOHN:

Of course – No problem...

You'll find towels in the

cupboard on the right at the

top.

LUCY:

Thank you so much for this

JOHN:

You're welcome.

to me back then that Suzy

I'm a professional actor who's written a number of screenplays for both the United States and the United Kingdom. I've written them predominantly with WOMEN being the main lead roles simply because a shortage of decent roles for women to this very "day" still reigns unfortunately.....The work volume vacuum within the film industry that the writers strike of 2023 has left means that many actors have had to resort to other methods of sustaining a consistent wage income, all be it still within the film industry, "so" mixing and matching our skills to the ultimate has become even more necessary than it was before!! (Although that strike "was" highly necessary to protect actors futures within the industry and it "paid off" in the long term too - Thank goodness!!)
