24 EXTERIOR: DAVID’S CAR - DAY

DAVID leaning against his Bristol, waiting.

25 EXTERIOR: SCHOOL - DAY

We see JENNY rush out of the school entrance, stuffing her school uniform into her bag and trying to avoid being noticed. She walks up to DAVID, parked on the opposite side of the street.

DAVID

Hello.

JENNY

(laughing)

Hello.

26 INTERIOR: CHRISTIE’S - DAY

DAVID and JENNY hurry into the hall where the auction is taking place.

At the back, DANNY is intent on a catalogue and HELEN is gazing dreamily into space, as DAVID and JENNY make their way through the auction room.The AUCTIONEER burbles on in the background.

DANNY

You’re late.

JENNY is in awe of the surroundings.The AUCTIONEER clears his throat.

AUCTIONEER

We now turn to Lot 41, The Tree of Forgiveness , by Sir Edward Burne-Jones. This is a rare opportunity to purchase a key work of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. Who will start me off at one hundred guineas?

JENNY glances at DANNY. He makes no move at this price. Neither does anyone else. He’s poised and listening hard.

Fifty guineas? . . . Twenty guineas?

A middle-aged lady, the epitome of the middle-aged contemporary Sloane - twin-set, pearls and a lot of face powder - raises her hand.

Thank you, madam. Forty?

A man raises his hand.

Thank you, sir. Do I hear sixty?

The middle-aged Sloane nods.

Eighty guineas? Thank you. Any more, sir?

One hundred guineas . . .

DANNY continues to sit there. JENNY is confused.The middle-aged lady bids a hundred. DAVID, standing next to DANNY, whispers something to him. DANNY nods.

DAVID

(whispers to JENNY)

Your turn.

JENNY looks at him.

JENNY

(whispers)

What?
