TRACY:

We will.

Jimmy slaps her arse and Tracy grabs her suitcase, blowing

him a kiss as she giddily heads towards the terminal.

Jimmy watches them go, they look like two ordinary young

women excited about their holiday...

8 EXT. INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT - DOMINICAN REPUBLIC - DAY 9 -8

13.00

Large sign is seen - Welcome to the Dominican Republic.

Viv and Tracy exit the airport with their bags. They blink

into the beautiful sunshine. Viv slides her shades on.

TRACY:

Sunshine!

VIV:

Look, palm trees in the airport.

‘BALE’

Vivienne, Tracy?

8 CONT:

They turn to find TWO DR LADS, not much older than

themselves, smiling at them. They’re lookers.

TRACY:

Bale and Ronaldo?

RONALDO turns around to reveal the name RONALDO on the back

on his Madrid football shirt. They laugh.

‘RONALDO’

How was your flight?

TRACY:

Great.

VIV:

Three movies and wine on tap, it

was my like perfect day.

BALE:

(smiles -)

Let us help with your bags.

And - ever the gentlemen - they scoop up the girls’ bags and

start carrying them to their waiting car.

RONALDO:

This way.

Tracy and Viv share a look. Treated like royalty.

TRACY:

I could get used to this.

She smiles flirtily at him.

Their BAGS are dumped in the boot of a BATTERED CAR and the

rear door is opened for them by Ronaldo.

RONALDO:

We’ll take you to your hotel.

The girls enter. Door slammed behind them. Bale and Ronaldo

jump in the front. Engine sparked and the car fires away

like a bat out of hell.

9

INT/EXT. CAR/STREET - DAY 9 - 13.20 9

Dance music thumping out.

Car SPEEDING through the Dominican Republic streets - Viv and

Tracy in the back loving every second. White knuckle ride.

Music continues over...

10

INT. HOTEL ROOM - DAY 10 - 15.00 10

Tracy and Viv hanging up their clothes, loads of fashionable

stuff - these are trend followers.

Tracy and Viv getting changed into their bikinis. They

arrange themselves in their mirrors to make sure they are

looking fantastic - hair up, tits great.

They look at one another.

TRACY:

Pool.

11

EXT. HOTEL - SWIMMING POOL - DAY 10 - 16.00 11

Viv and Tracy jump simultaneously into the swimming pool.

Their heads bob back above the water and they scream with

delight. Let the holiday begin...

12

EXT. PLAYA DORADA/STREETS - DAY 10 - 19.00 12

Viv and Tracy walking through the main tourist drag. They are

like children - in awe of all the new sights and sounds. They

constantly nudge each other and point to various

sights/attractions/people. Then giggle or gossip.

They do ‘selfies’ on their phones, and we crash into shot

after shot hitting the screen in a stylised montage - photos

that will soon find themselves on Facebook or Twitter...

They pass TWO YOUNG LADS heading this way.

LAD 1

Alright, girls.

TRACY:

Typical, you come half way round

the world and meet Scousers!

Tracy and Viv are away, laughing.

EXT. PLAYA DORADA - OUTSIDE BAR - NIGHT 10 - 21.30 13

Music continues...

Viv and Tracy have colourful hulas placed around their neck

by a DANCING WAITER as he serves them expensive cocktails.

They’re in their element.

TWO DUTCH LADS opposite smile at them and make encouraging

gestures. Smiles and flirting.

13 CONT:

Viv and Tracy glance at each other, unspoken, they are saying

‘those guys are fit!!!’

JUMP TO:

Music thumping. The four of them together now. Chatting,

drinking. Flirting...

JUMP TO:

Viv, Tracy and the DUTCH GUYS dancing. They have ‘coupled’

off and ‘dirty dancing’ with their guys.

14 EXT. BEACH - DAY 11 - 08.45 14

And from this to total calm. Almost silence. Only the sound

of the sea. Sun bouncing off the surface of the water.

Tracy and Viv are swimming in the amazing turquoise ocean.

Viv looks back at the beach, takes in where she is

VIV:

(treading water)

Trace

TRACY:

What?

VIV:

I love being here with you

TRACY:

(smiles)

I love being here with you

Hold on them, best of friends and allowing themselves a

moment where they acknowledge it - both treading water

TRACY (CONT'D)

Are you trying to do a wee

VIV:

Yeh

TRACY:

So am I

They howl with laughter

VIV:

(splashes her)

Dirty cow

TRACY:

(splashes back)

You dirty cow

VIV:

You dirty cow...

15 EXT. BEACH - DAY 11 - 09.30 15

Viv and Tracy lie on the beach like sun goddesses. When

suddenly a DARK SHADOW passes over. They look up.

It’s Bale and Ronaldo.

BALE:

(of their bodies)

Thin girls. Is there a food

shortage in England?

TRACY:

Why, do you like big girls?

VIV:

Something to get your hands on?

This is all played fun, almost flirty. The guys perch down

on their sun loungers. But then...

RONALDO:

(serious faced)

You met men last night.

Tracy and Viv share a look, how the f*** do they know.

RONALDO (CONT'D)

Who were they?

TRACY:

What’s it to you?

BALE:

You had sex with them?

VIV TRACY:

No! (angry, bemused)

You’d best not tell Jimmy

that -

Ronaldo turns on her, furious.

RONALDO:

English girls can’t drink. You get

pissed, say stupid things.

TRACY:

We told them nothing.

RONALDO:

Good.

The atmosphere is suddenly very hostile, completely

incongruous with the relaxed surroundings.

15 CONT:

RONALDO (CONT'D)

The hotel manager knows us. He’ll

be watching you

VIV:

What’s that supposed to mean?

RONALDO:

You’re here for a purpose. Yes.

Don’t forget it

And with that, they get up and head away. Hold the look

between Viv and Tracy...

16 INT/EXT. JS MOTORS - DAY 11 - 15.40 16

Rain pours down. The forecourt is a sorry looking sight as

no one wants to view cars in this weather.

Fat Jason and Paracetamol Pete have brews and are nattering

together under a canopy (Pete inserts a nasal spray halfway

through his conversation - always ill). Marty is alone,

sitting to one side sheltering in a hatchback.

Rick and Jez are busy working on cars in the background.

Ziggy, the young mechanic, passes, carrying supplies to the

workshop, he clocks Marty alone... slows his pace.

ZIGGY:

Wanna see a picture of me bird?

He pulls his phone from his pocket, hands it to Marty. His

phone wallpaper has a PARROT on it.

Marty laughs.

ZIGGY (CONT'D)

Kettle’s on in the workshop - if

you fancy a brew.

MARTY:

(surprised, touched, but

still...)

Nah, you’re alright mate.

ZIGGY:

We’ve got bourbons.

Marty smiles, appreciates the gesture.

17 INT. JS MOTORS - BETH’S OFFICE - DAY 11 - 16.00 17

Beth in her office. She is acting nonchalant but her eyes

are on the ‘sales managers office’ - through the blinds she

can see Marianne laughing (perhaps a little flirtily) with

Jez (of Jez and Emma).
