Act Two

Scene One

Night. George and Soriya walking home. Tipsy. Stopped outside Dallas Chicken.

George Slow down!

Soriya Hurry up!

George I am wearing £700 Jimmy Choo python-skin gladiator heels! They are not designed to be walked in!

Soriya Course they are! How can they expect you to spend seven hundred quid on a pair of shoes and have money left over to catch a taxi?

George Ugh! Why couldn’t Daddy buy me a flat nearer to the goddam tube!

Soriya I’m starving!

George I’m tired!

Soriya Keep up!

George Why didn’t we catch a cab again?

Soriya ’Cause you couldn’t afford one and I didn’t want to embarrass you by paying for you … AGAIN!

George This is dangerous you know. You’re risking our safety. A girl was raped!

Soriya Oh suddenly now you’re concerned!

George And there was a protest on tonight.

Soriya Pipe down! That would have finished years ago!

George’s ankle gives way and she lets out a scream.

Soriya Oh! What now!

George I think my ankle’s broken!

Soriya You and those goddam shoes! If you don’t get up now I’m gonna leave you here!

George Fuck off! Leave me to get gang raped by all those little shits over there?

Soriya Shh! Will ya!

George Well, help me up!

Soriya tries to pull George up but George ends up pulling Soriya down.

Soriya I thought you’d quit the carbs?

George I’m sorry. Do you not enjoy having a roof over your head?

Soriya Spoilsport!

Soriya gets back to her feet.

George Sssh! What was that?

Soriya What?

George I can’t believe they touched a fourteen-year-old girl? It’s pathetic!

Soriya Fourteen?

George It’s all over my BBM!

Soriya What? Sara’s not fourteen!

George Who’s Sara?

Soriya You’re not even trying!

George I am! Pull harder!

Soriya I’m too weak! As if Dallas Chicken is the only place open. Come on let’s just do it! It’ll be our little secret!

George finally rises.

George No! Are you kidding? I want that place closed down! It’s a health hazard. They should open a Simply Food M&S but that lot (points to Westbridge estate ) keeps it in business!

Soriya You’re such a snob!

George And you’re a ghetto queen that brought the hood rat into my bachelorette pad.

Soriya Marcus is not a hood rat. He’s from Clapham!

George Clapham Junction! There’s a difference!

Soriya And where do you think you live?

George South Chelsea?

Soriya Hate to break it to you, SW11, same as those from the chicken-eating estate.

George Ugh! My parents really really hate me don’t they?

Soriya Luckily you have me!

George I love you. Even if you are from India!

Soriya – Africa!

George How is that again?

Soriya Do you just never listen to me?

George Oh! Sorry, yeah. I love you even if you are from Africa!

Soriya And I love you even if you are from Battersea.

George South Chelsea!

Soriya How is that again?

George I’m divorcing my parents.

Lights.
