Keeping Rosy Page #3

What do I want?

I want the toilet.

It's down the hall, you nutter.

Lovely.

What's the matter with you?

I want him out of here.

Oh, I knew it.

You're jealous, aren't you?

You don't know what you're getting

yourself into.

Don't you give me that

concerned sister bollocks.

Look, listen!

He is trouble. Oh, Jesus.

You can't handle a bloke liking me

instead of you, can you, eh?

He's trying to intimidate me.

You don't half rate yourself,

Char, always have done.

You think you're too good

for the rest of us. No!

You called me once in two years

and I come running down like a twat.

You're a stuck-up,

self-centred cow.

You didn't even care

when your own dad died.

I paid for the funeral.

You didn't turn up for it, though,

did you? I was in Cape Town!

You didn't show up for the whole two

years that he was ill, either, Char.

OK. OK, I accept

there are issues...

You're too f***ing right there's

issues...

But, please!

Please...

Listen to me.

We have got to get him out of here.

And then we're going to pack our stuff,

we're going to go back up North...

..and we're going to see each other

all the time, I promise.

What, you want to move back home?

Yes! Piss off.

Look, I'll explain everything...

DOOR OPENS:

Everything all right, ladies?

Yeah, sound, Rog, yeah.

I was just negotiating getting us

another bottle of champers.

Ah, splendid. Well, come on then,

give us a hand clearing this lot up.

Oh, no problemo. Good boy.

Done with yours, Char?

Here.

Ta. Did you wash your hands?

I'm proper house-trained,

I'll have you know.

Yeah, right. I'll bet you're a right

dirty bastard.

Well, I can be if you want me to be.

DANCE MUSIC PLAYS

Here, open this then for us.

Coming up...

BOTH:
It's Dare.

# Never did no harm,

never did no harm... #

Come on then, Rog, hurry up.

CORK POPS:

Bloody hell, that went nearly right

in my face! Get it down you.

Go on. Here you are.

Tune! Ooh-ooh! Ooh-ooh!

Yeah!

Not in my home! Not in my house!

All right, Char. Jesus,

I'll smoke outside.

Mummy, it's noisy.

Oh, sorry, sweetheart.

Me and your Auntie Char, we were

just having a little bit of fun, eh?

Come on, let's get you back to bed.

Come on, darling.

That kind of anger could get

a person into trouble.

KNIFE GRATES:

MUFFLED CONVERSATION AND LAUGHTER

GLASS CLANKS, LAUGHTER

MOANS AND GASPS:

You looking for this?

You don't need it, you know.

I'm here to help you.

Get the f*** out of here.

Ssshhhh. You'll wake the baby.

Look, I'm not being judgmental.

I'd hate for the police to get hold

of the CCTV footage

and spoil everything for you.

What's in it for you?

30 grand.

Well, I'll need time to get it

together.

No, you've just had a payoff.

Yeah, but it'll take a few

days to get into my account.

Bring the money to the office,

Thursday morning.

I'll delete the footage right in

front of you.

What about the memory stick?

Yeah, yeah, that as well.

Don't do that.

I'm just giving myself another

option.

CAMERA PHONE BEEPS AND CLICKS

What do you mean?

Well, if you dick me about,

I could always take the kid as well.

Right.

Thanks for the chips.

Fishcake wasn't great, but hey-ho.

Oh, yeah. Your car.

What? I'm having your car as well.

Give me the keys.

Um...

Well, I'll need it on Thursday to

come to your office.

F*** me, you've got an answer for

everything, haven't you?

All right.

But bring the paperwork with you.

Money. Give me some money.

I haven't got much on me. But you're

minted. Give me your wallet.

For f***'s sake!

MUSIC PLAYS:

Ah, this is epitome, this.

This is banging, man! What is it,

Blaupunkt or something?

I don't know.

Yeah, that's the thing,

they don't badge them no more.

Can't nick 'em no more, either.

Off you go.

VOLUME INCREASES

CASH MACHINE BEEPS

MACHINE WHIRS:

MUSIC STOPS:

DOOR OPENS:

That's all I could get.

All three cards?

The corporate one's blocked.

Fair dos.

Give me the stick first.

Still got it all on the hard drive,

remember.

Yeah.

'Can I help you?'

Hello, boss. Has your breakfast menu

started yet?

'Breakfast starts at 6.30, sir.'

All right, I'll get a...

..Chicken Royale and a chocolate

shake.

'Any fries with that, sir?'

Sure you don't want anything?

My treat.

That's it, boss-man. 'Thank you.'

What did you do with it, then?

What? The body.

What did you do with it?

Dump it somewhere? Burn it?

No.

What, then?

The river.

So, it will turn up, then.

It already has.

Yeah, they always do.

It's something to do with the currents, you

know, they never quite make it out to sea.

My uncle used to work on

a Woolwich Ferry, you see.

Uncle Frank.

Lovely bloke.

Committed suicide.

HE SLURPS:

Of course, you know the funny thing,

don't you?

I never would have found that footage if

you hadn't come sniffing round the office.

We never bother checking anything

unless it gets reported.

HE LAUGHS:

Hey, this is nice, this, isn't it?

I need to go home, now.

Don't be like that.

Look, you've had your money.

Take me home.

Just trying to be friendly.

You're going the wrong way.

I'm going straight to work. You can

drive yourself home from there.

You don't want to do that.

I'm going to have to.

My shift finishes in 15 minutes,

and if I ain't there when Ravi gets

in, he'll grass me up.

Well, what about your bike?

It's well over 20 minutes

from your place on a bike.

I'll pick it up later.

Well, I need to get back to see

to Rosy.

Sarah's there. What's the biff?

Look, why don't you forget about

work?

We can...

We can hang out.

I can go back to the bank and get

some more money out.

Look, I'd love to,

but if I don't show up,

they'll know something's wrong.

And this could get very messy if

we're not careful, babe.

No, the best thing we can do is

act normal.

I mean, all right,

you've made a mistake,

you're trying to put it right.

It's all good. But not everyone's

going to see it like that, are they?

So, it's very important that we don't

attract any attention to ourselves.

What the f***?!

F***.

Open this door.

Open this f***ing door!

Open this f***ing door!

Sh*t.

F***ing loser...

Come on, you. Get up!

What? Now, did you tell him where

you're from last night?

What? Did you tell him where you're

from?

Oh, for God's sake, Char,

just leave it, will you?

Look, it's important nobody knows

I'm moving back up North.

Now, look, I'm being serious.

We are leaving in 15 minutes,

so get up!

What, you want to move back today?

Yes! I can't put you up, you know.

Well, I'll book a hotel!

Stacy. Stace.

Stacy, love. All right, trouble?

Eh?

How do you work this thing, Char?

Have you not got any instant?

Look, we haven't got time for this.

I can't go anywhere until I've had

my coffee.

I will buy you a Starbucks.

BANGING Open the door!

Open this f***ing door!

Let me in! Is that Roger?

Right, I'm not having this.

Sarah, no! No! Roger, mate...

Don't, don't, don't!

Roger...

Get over here! Get here!

F***ing b*tch!

Did you think you could just burn it
