TC
Well off my head, pal, it’s these Dutch eccies innit, I was so loved up I just handed him my stash

Charlie
You daft twat, that’s the last you’ll see of him mate

TC
Nah, he was a good geezer, I can see that much, he wouldn’t do anything like that, I’m sure of it

Charlie
Maybe maybe, either way, the General’s in town tonight – I’m sorting him out a bit of ching & later on we’re gonna do a spot of ‘gambling’ down Diane’s – you interested?

TC

Charlie
I do know what you mean you fucking slag! I can’t believe you Bulldog, ya savvy enough to put a condom on those bags of pills ya rammed up yer arse, but when it comes down to get dirty with a hooker…

Bulldog
Sorry boss, I forgot, it was the magic mushroom boss – they sell them in the windows

Charlie

Charlie & Bulldog
PUT SOMETHING ON THE END OF IT

SCENE 6 – The Lilypad

Lily & Nelson have been having a session – empty bottles of bubbly & bags of weed on the table – sexy music on in the background

Nelson
{fingering a large sausage shape in mid-air}
So, she put it in her mouth & said that’s the biggest sausage I’ve ever seen…. I’m like, ‘honey, its only a bratwurst you can get them from Lidl these days

Lily
You’re funny…

Nelson

Lily
Thanks… you’re not so bad yourself…. is there any coke left by the way

Nelson
Well, there’s not much now – we’ve caned most of it… might as well cook up a couple of big, fat lines… finish it off

Lily

Nelson
{starts racking up the lines}
So, are you single?

Lily
Kind of

Nelson

Nelson
Well it looks good on you

Lily

That guy sounds like a proper tosser

Lily
{snorting coke}
He was – they always are – I seem to attract delinquent neanderthals – you’re not like that are ya?

Nelson
Course not love – I’m the sophisticated type

Nelson snorts coke like a bull

Lily
I mean, me & boys, it’s just a case of trying to fit square pegs into round holes – it just doesn’t work

Nelson

Nelson kisses the back of Lily’s neck

Lily

Lily
I’m not yer baby, never have been, never will be, now if you’d both be so kind as to fuck off – I’ve got better things to do than put up with you two monkeys

LOVE YA BABY

Nelson
I got the notion to show some emotion
We could be lovers if you only knew
All I can think about is raisin’ my voice to shout
High over skyscrapers that I love you
I love ya baby, yes I do
I love ya baby, what the hell ya put & put me thro
I love ya baby, yes I do,
I love ya baby

Lily
Well shame on you,
Cos you’re just full of it
what a crock of shit
All you want’s a bit of what I got
feelings that I feel
Thought they could be real
But now you’ve blown the deal so off you trot

Nelson
But I love ya baby, yes I do
I love ya baby & I know my love is true
Cos ever since I met ya girl
You just gone & blown my world
So tell me what the hell am I supposed to do

Lily
How can you love me
You hardly know my name

Nelson
I love ya baby

Lily
But I do not feel the same

Nelson
Look lady I’m not full of shit
You just can’t handle it
Cos I’m the missing bit to fill your life
Baby cant ya see
We were meant to be
It is your destiny to be my wife

I love ya baby…. yes I do
I love ya baby,
Look what the hell you put me thro
I love ya baby, yes I do,
I love ya baby

Lily
Well I DONT LOVE YOU
You are a liar, you are dishonest
You drive me crazy with all your promises
First you were lyin’, now you are leavin’
Don’t see me cryin’, don’t see me grievin’
You say ya love me
You hardly even know my name
How can ya love me when I do not feel the same
You are a user & now you know the score
You are a loser, sonny there’s the door

Nelson
But, but, we shared a kiss

Lily
I didn’t enjoy it – when was the last time you brush’d yer teeth

Nelson
