BILLY:

It’s fine.

CHARLOTTE then throws up in the bucket.

JASON:

Ergh this is disgusting...

GEMMA:

(to Jason)

Get out!

JASON:

It’s not my fault.

GEMMA:

It never is.

(to Billy)

You better get cleaned up,

there’s fresh towels in the

bathroom.

BILLY passes JASON on his way upstairs.

JASON:

(to Billy)

Who are you anyway?

GEMMA:

Not now Jason.

GEMMA heads upstairs with the twins

JASON:

Got yourself a toy boy? What

happened to the knob?

(shouts up the stairs)

Couldn’t he rise to the occasion?

He laughs at his own joke then realises he’s alone in the

living room.

JASON:

Alright, I’m leaving.

CUT TO:

21 INT. HALLWAY. NIGHT 21

BILLY is in a towel coming out the bathroom having had a

shower. GEMMA is coming out of the twins room. They stop

in front of each other.

38.

BILLY:

Got the sick off.

GEMMA:

Good. Sorry about that.

BILLY:

I just spent 4 months with your

son, so am kinda used to it.

She seems a bit awkward with him in just a towel. We hear

the front door open and giggling. It’s ALFIE and the girl

coming in. GEMMA looks panicked. Without thinking she

shoves BILLY back into the bathroom as Alfie and Frosty

Girl go past snogging.

ALFIE:

What’s your name?

FROSTY GIRL:

Sam.

ALFIE:

Sam, short for...?

FROSTY GIRL:

Samantha.

ALFIE:

Just checking.

She pushes Alfie against his bedroom door which is opposite

the bathroom and starts snogging the face off him.

CUT TO:

22 INT. BATHROOM. NIGHT 22

GEMMA and BILLY are standing close together by the bathroom

door. They whisper. Billy seems amused by the

ridiculousness of her actions. He’s being playful and non-

predatory during the following.

BILLY:

What are you doing?

GEMMA:

Shhh. I didn’t want Alfie to see

us together.

BILLY:

Together in the hall?

GEMMA:

What? Yes, well you’ve got no top

on, he might - have got the wrong

idea.

39.

BILLY:

The wrong idea about what? That

I’d just had a shower?

GEMMA:

Yes...no

(realizes what she’s

done)

I may have slightly over reacted.

BILLY:

To me having a shower?

GEMMA:

No, to Alfie seeing us, he might

have thought we were up to no

good.

BILLY:

Why?

(laughs)

Do you usually get up to no good

with his friends?

GEMMA:

(embarrassed)

No! Absolutely not. Never. How

could you even insinuate...

BILLY:

I didn’t.

GEMMA:

Shhh!

They stand close, silently. They hear ALFIE’S bedroom door

open and FROSTY GIRL giggle as the go in slamming the door.

GEMMA:

He’s gone.

BILLY:

Phew! Because God forbid he

should have caught us innocently

chatting in the hall but us holed

up chest to chest in the

bathroom, no problem there.

He smiles. Then they both laugh but trying to keep it

quiet. Clearly there is a spark between them.

BILLY:

Good night Mrs. Jones.

GEMMA:

...Good night.

40.

They look at each other. There is a beat, like they are

both holding their breath. Then the moment is broken.

BILLY:

Good night.

GEMMA:

Night night, mind the bed bugs

don’t bite.

BILLY leaves. GEMMA glances at herself in the mirror.

GEMMA:

(to her reflection)

Mind the bed bugs don’t bite?

Really?

She slides down the wall and sinks to the floor.

GEMMA:

So, you snog a man you hardly know

on your doorstep, then drag a half

naked young man into your bathroom.

Well done Mrs. Jones.

END.
