MAC:

And that I might be wrong?

RANA:

Precisely. I was over the moon when you offered me the partnership

here, but sometimes I think you still see me as your little junior,

worshipping at the feet of the great Doctor Mac. But I’m your partner

now, and it’s about time you started treating me like one.

MAC:

I see.

RANA:

I hope you do, Mac. I really hope you do.

[A BEAT. CAROLINE ENTERS]

CAROLINE:

Well? You two OK now?

MAC:

I’m not sure. You’d better ask Rana.

RANA:

We’re... OK.

CAROLINE:

Good. Anyone fancy a drink?

[A BIT OF A STAND OFF BETWEEN MAC AND RANA]

MAC:

Er… no, I should be getting back, but thanks anyway.

RANA:

I’d love one.

[WOULD RANA HAVE SAID YES IF MAC HAD BEEN GOING?

PROBABLY NOT]

CAROLINE:

Right. Come on then. Sure you’re OK Mac?

MAC:

Sure.

CAROLINE:

Right. See you tomorrow then.

[SHE LEAVES. RANA IS ABOUT TO FOLLOW HER]

RANA:

(BEAT) … what I said about Jessie, the diamorphine... that just sort of

came out.

MAC:

Yes, it did, didn’t it?

RANA:

So I guess I owe you an apology too.

MAC:

For what? Saying it, or believing it?

[A BEAT]

RANA:

We all get it wrong sometimes Mac. I shouldn’t have said those things,

but after what you did today, I’m not sure we still have a professional

relationship. We need to sort this out, and I think it’s you that needs to

do the sorting.

[MAC’S REACTION]

RANA:

I’ll see you tomorrow.

[HE GOES, LEAVING MAC ALONE, ISOLATED AND ON THE

EDGE]
