A Spell on You Page #3

the corporate coffee trail.

Yeah, I can't believe

I've never even been here.

Well, hold on to your hats

because we are now entering

the unknown quarter.

Okay.

Mm hmm.

For example, look over my shoulder there.

[BECKY] Yeah.

Jane Austen went to school there.

Really?

The Jane Austen, yeah.

Presumably etched her name

into a desk at some point.

Jane was here.

Another famous resident

was Oscar Wilde, of course.

I mean, he wasn't here by choice.

He was over there in the jail.

See it on the horizon?

Sentenced for being a very naughty boy

with members of the same sex,

and sent, of course, then

to an all-male prison,

which I'm sure the irony of

that wasn't wasted on Mr. Wilde.

Okay, now, we're almost there.

Even I'm getting excited.

Abracadabra, huh?

This is just a display window.

You wait until we get inside.

Come on, ladies first.

Ah, Sir James!

Not you again, good lord.

You know me, I can't

stay away for too long.

And I see you've got

your daughter with you.

Yeah, the old ones are the best.

It's a joke, I'm joking.

Okay, so what can I do for you today?

We're actually here today, Jim,

on a bit of a mission, actually.

Becky here has a younger brother,

and we're looking for

a toy present for him.

Something a bit, you know.

[BECKY] Yeah.

What sort of things is

your brother into then?

He like war, fighting.

I think I might just

have one little item,

so give me a moment, and I'll

be back with you in a second.

Feel free to have a look around.

We will, we certainly will.

[JIM] Thank you.

What did I tell you, huh?

It's a treasure trove, isn't it?

Wow, look at this.

So cool.

Yeah, well, this is a cabinet

that always makes me ache

just a little bit.

There's stuff in here that I remember

having when I was a kid, and

it just got chucked away.

Aw, that's such a shame.

Chucked in a skip somewhere, yeah.

This is amazing, Olly

would love all this.

Anyway, the oracle returns.

Okay, folks, well, you're in luck.

I found this, a model kit from the 1950s.

[BECKY] This is so amazing.

Oh my god.

Your brother needs to

obviously form it and glue it

and paint it and pose it,

but it's a little unusual.

[BECKY] This is so cool.

[JIM] What do you think?

[BECKY] I think this is, yeah.

Before and the after there.

Yeah, I think he'd really like this.

Well, thanks for that,

Steve, that was amazing.

Oh, no, thank you.

I'm going to jam this.

Conceivably it's the first reggae album

ever committed to vinyl.

I hope Olly is as happy

with that as I am with this

'cause I am like a pig

in hot sh*t right now.

[BECKY] Oh, I'm sure he will be.

Listen, I have to go

pick up some dry cleaning,

but can I give you a lift somewhere?

Um, don't worry.

I live in Woodley,

which is, the other way,

so it's fine, I'll just get a bus.

Okay, sure.

Thanks though.

No, I'll see on, uh,

I'll see you Monday, yeah.

Yeah, okay, I'll see you Monday.

I enjoyed that, by the way.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- See you.

- See you.

[BECKY] God.

Sorry, hi.

Hi, how are you?

Yeah, good, you all right?

I'm good, thanks, Stripes?

Oh, yeah, how are you doing?

I'm good, I'm good.

Where should we go?

Oh, nice to see you, I don't know.

I know a coffee shop around here.

Let's get out of the

sun, I'm going to burn.

Yeah, yeah, of course.

Okay.

All right, just up here, I think.

Let's go.

Oh, my God, this is amazing!

Look how cheap it is!

Oh, my God, you never see that in London.

This is so good!

You can so get on the property ladder.

Look, oh, you get bar stools.

Funny.

You must have so much money now.

Living with your mom, you're so lucky.

Yeah, I've got a bit, you know?

You know, I'm really happy at home.

It's all right.

Yeah, but you should rent,

look, you could rent this.

Just set yourself up.

It's so much better being on your own.

Harry and I are having such a wicked time.

Aw, good.

Oh, parking, that's good for you.

Do you have a car?

Oh no.

I like this, ooh.

Oh, no, it's near the

hospital, I don't like that.

There's too many sick people around.

Oh well.

I can't believe I haven't

even see your place yet.

Oh, my God, yeah.

I mean, I'd love to see some

photos, if you've got any.

I actually do.

I have loads of photos,

I've been showing everyone.

You have to come and visit.

It will be so fun, I think.

This is the room, I'm gonna show you.

I've actually got an album.

Okay.

This is the room I finished.

Oh, that looks amazing.

It is, I searched high and low for that.

Yeah, it's really, really, lovely.

It's not as shiny as it looks.

No, you've done a

really good job, actually.

Thanks, okay, that maroon

chair, that's Harry's.

He just likes it, I don't know.

He's weird, it's like a family thing.

Oh, Harry.

[JEN] Oh I was a bit drunk.

[BECKY] Oh, did you have a housewarming?

No, it was just a bit local.

It's just Chloe was...

Richard, go?

Yeah, because of Harry.

Mm-hmm, yeah, he looks really well.

[JEN] He is.

[BECKY] Who's that?

She wasn't with us at Union, was she?

[JEN] Don't torture yourself.

Sorry.

Sorry, it doesn't matter at all.

[JEN] Harry told me...

Yeah of course.

We broke up, it's fine.

[JEN] You were texting Richard.

Yeah, of course.

Yeah, uh, I did, I did

the other night, yeah,

which was stupid, and I'm

really embarrassed about it.

Yeah, just tell him I'm sorry.

You have to let it go, Becky.

Yeah, I know, okay.

Okay.

Um, I'll show you, um.

I've got loads of stuff

to show you around here.

You've never been here before, so.

Just come with me, and I'll show you.

Sorry, how embarrassing.

(LAUGHING)

(SOFT MUSIC)

How's it going?

Mm hmm.

Just wondering how the

toy went down with Olly.

'Cause I have to say me and my new tunes

have been getting on like a house on fire.

Oh, yeah, no, he really liked it.

Sat down, put it all together?

Mm hmm.

Really?

Mm hmm, no.

[STEVE] He couldn't

be bothered, could he?

No, he didn't like it.

Yeah, well, I don't

think you can take it back.

He did say that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, he did.

You realize you're

photocopying blank paper there.

Think of the trees, yeah?

I just don't get it, Scotty.

I don't get how something

this idiotic can happen.

It's an invoice, for f***'s sake.

It's not rocket science.

It was a grand, it was

a grand on the invoice,

and you knock a f***ing nought off,

and he's paying a hundred

quid for these man hours!

Are you kidding me?

I just don't get it, Scotty.

I don't get how you can do

something so f***ing idiotic.

It's so f***ing easy to

get confused, isn't it?

Because look at it!

No, wait, don't you dare

speak to me like that!

Don't you dare swear at me!

Are you having a laugh?

Carly, just look.

People make mistakes, all right?

You know that, I know that.

The trick is, Scotty, you

gotta to salvage this,

mate, all right?

[SCOTTY] Okay.

Now, you need to get on

the phone to Mr. Khan, yeah?

Tell him this is a special reduced rate

we do for new business, all right?
