MARIE:

So you did speak to him, then?

GEORGIE:

Yes?

Marie studies Georgie as she slightly more frantically starts sorting through the clothes.

GEORGIE (CONT'D)

He's got someone else... and a kiddie and that.

MARIE:

And nothing happened?

GEORGIE:

No! Not really. No!

Marie stares hard at Georgie.

MARIE:

Language 10:
05:07 Bloody hell Georgie, what have you done?

GEORGIE:

Nothing. It was nothing.

Marie stares at Georgie trying to work something out.

MARIE:

How could you?

GEORGIE:

Marie. Don't you dare say anything.

MARIE:

Of course I won't say anything, Georgie... We're sisters,

aren't we? We're supposed to lie for each other.

Marie watches Georgie.

IN:
10:05:32 INT. ESCALATOR. SHOPPING CENTRE. DAY

Georgie, Grace, Marie and Lulu are heading up the escalator, Georgie still clearly in a mind-whirl.

The lights and noise all seem extreme. As they travel up, Georgie is examining all the faces going

down. Paranoid, she senses people looking at her. Leering faces. Are they looking at her, she

thinks they might be. We are inside Georgie's mind.

As Grace talks, Georgie isn't listening, but rather manically looking around. Grace's voice and the

faces distorting from Georgie's POV.

GRACE:

Right so we've got this fitting and then there's the final

fitting. Just don't put on any weight between now and the

wedding, that's my advice. Don't do an Aunty Paula...

went to the first fitting, by the time she turned up for her

final fitting she was eight months pregnant. You're not

pregnant, are you? Georgie!

GEORGIE:

What?

GRACE:

No, course not, you wouldn’t be that daft ‘cos he's a

doctor. Come here you…

Georgie stares at all the people out shopping, once again somewhat paranoid. She imagines

them all keep throwing her glances. They move off the escalator and head on to the bridal shop.

IN:
10:05:54 INT. BRIDAL SHOP. DAY

An uncomfortable Georgie stands on a small table as the ladies from the bridal shop fuss around,

pinning and holding and fluffing. Georgie is trying to hold it together.

Grace stands and admires. Georgie catches Marie's eye who gives a little shake of the head.

MARIE:

She looks gorgeous.

GRACE:

Oh it's definitely the one. Oh. Stunning, you look so

beautiful. Seriously Georgie, I've gone all goosey. Look

at my skin!

Music ‘4OG05’ in: 10:06:06

But we are in the whirlpool of Georgie's mind still. Voices distorted.

Georgie keeps trying to shake her head, almost as if to focus on the wedding and shake the other

images from her mind. She smiles.

Georgie sees in the mirror Abu. She turns and runs out of the shop.

IN:
10:06:26 INT. SHOPPING CENTRE. OUTSIDE BRIDAL SHOP. DAY

Georgie runs out of the shop in her half fitted bridal gown. She grabs the man she thinks is Abu

and spins him round. She stares into his eyes and realises it's not Abu.

GUY:

Hey, what you doing?

GEORGIE:

Oh. I'm sorry…

GUY:

You alright love?

GEORGIE:

I just thought you were someone else, I’m sorry...

Music ‘4OG0a5’ in: 10:06:55

The guy laughs, good natured. He heads on his way as Georgie, more confused then ever,

stares over the railings to the fountain below on ground level. Marie comes out of the shop and

joins her.

GEORGIE:

Couldn't breath in there. That's all.

Music ‘4OG05’ out: 10:07:02

MARIE:

Yeah. Well that'll be the guilt.

GEORGIE:

Language 10:
07:05 Piss off.

MARIE:

You've got to be brave, right.

Grace and Lulu emerge from the shop.

GRACE:

What on earth are you doing, Georgie?

LULU:

She's seeing sense, that's what's happened.

GRACE:

Wind your neck in.

(taking Georgie gently by the arm and

steering her back inside the shop)

GEORGIE:

Mum I'm sorry I was really hot.

GRACE:

No it's alright, love. It… it's hot in there. But the lady said

she'd turn down the heating down, so... Okay, sorry

love.. Are you okay?

GEORGIE:

Yeah.

GRACE:

Come on I got you.

They disappear back inside.

IN:
10:07:29 INT. BRIDAL SHOP. DAY

Georgie is steered back into the shop by Grace. Marie and Lulu follow them in.

GRACE:

Sorry. She just got a bit hot that's all. But everything's

fine now, eh Georgie?

Georgie tries to smile and nod.

GEORGIE:

Yeah, sorry. Err can I use your toilet?

The lady smiles and points to the loo.

LADY:

Of course, just through there…

LULU:

Language:
10:07:40 Try not to get any piss stains on your train, hey George.

Grace slaps Lulu's arm as Georgie disappears inside the loos. Marie follows her in.

IN:
10:07:43 INT. LOO. BRIDAL SHOP. DAY

Georgie is looking at herself in the mirror as Marie comes in.

MARIE:

So, you marry Jamie! And you get it into your thick skull

that you can never see Elvis again. You can't even think

about him.

GEORGIE:

(tearful)

I can't even sleep at night. Marie.

MARIE:

I'm not surprised.

GEORGIE:

(unconvinced)

Okay I'm fine. Everything's fine.

Georgie stares at herself in the mirror as if trying to convince herself. We see Marie behind

almost indiscernibly shaking her head.

IN:
10:08:46 INT. ABU’S APARTMENT. NIGHT

Abu stares at the wall, it is covered in pictures of Georgie.

IN:
10:09:13 INT. COLE'S APARTMENT. MANCHESTER. NIGHT

Georgie lets herself in.

Music ‘4OG0a5’ out: 10:09:16

GEORGIE:

Hi! I'm home!

She walks into the empty sitting room. Several copies of a journal on the table. A post it note on it

reads 'turn to page 7'. She immediately does and see an article by Dr. Jamie Cole and a photo of

him. She squeals in delight.

GEORGIE (CONT'D)

You've been published!

An over joyed Cole bounds out of the bedroom beaming, and throws his arms around Georgie.

COLE:

Huhum!

GEORGIE:

(kissing him)

Oh.. That's amazing! Congratulations

COLE:

Thank you. Thank you.

GEORGIE:

We'll have to get some copies for your Mum and Dad.

COLE:

I ordered several... dozen!

GEORGIE:

We'll save seven for each of the children we're gonna

have. And my nan will want one as well.

COLE:

Hey at least it'll give me something to brag about during

the Q and A.

GEORGIE:

What Q and A?

COLE:

St George's tomorrow, remember?

GEORGIE:

No. No. You never mentioned it.

COLE:

I could skip it... if you need me to stay here with you.

GEORGIE:

What in case I self harm?

COLE:

Moved all knives out of the kitchen just in case.

GEORGIE:

So you’re going to London tomorrow?

COLE:

Yeah. Yeah. It's up and back in a day... I think, I said, I

mentioned?

GEORGIE:

No.

COLE:

No.

GEORGIE:

Mmm mnn…

COLE:

You know I didn't wanna keep banging on about it.

You've got enough to worry about.

GEORGIE:

You know what you should do.. Take all the magazines

down and then, just, just scattered them every where.

COLE:

Already emailed the professor there and attached the

piece... said if it was of any use to let the students read

before they meet me.

GEORGIE:

Ah so your making out it's about them but it’s really

about you blowing of your own trumpet.
