Episode Six: Sex And The School (part two)

10. INT. COMMON ROOM DAY

ADAM LISTLESSLY STIRS HIS COFFEE. AMY WATCHES HIM, RISES AND JOINS HIM.

AMY
What are you doing here Adam? Are you not on compassionate leave?

ADAM
I couldn’t stand being at home.

AMY
Quite.

ADAM
I see her everywhere Amy.

AMY
I understand.

ADAM
No you don’t! Nobody understands!

AMY
It is all right Adam.

ADAM
It is as if she has a message for me.

AMY
What sort of a message?

ADAM
I wish I knew. I really wish I knew.

AMY RISES AND LOOKS AT HER WATCH.

AMY
Go home Adam.

AMY LOOKS PITIFULLY AT HIM.

ADAM
Don’t do that!! I hate pity!!

AMY WALKS AWAY. THE BURSAR ENTERS, SEES ADAM AND WALKS TOWARDS HIM.

BURSAR
Aren’t you supposed to be on leave?

ADAM
Ah, Robin, you know how it is.

THE BURSAR SITS DOWN.

BURSAR
Can’t rest?

ADAM SHRUGS HIS SHOULDERS.

BURSAR
You should get away.

ADAM
Give me a description of the murderer.

BURSAR
That’s all out of my hands.

ADAM
I need to do something Robin.

BURSAR
The police have all the information about the murderer and I’m sure are doing all they can. The killer will be brought to justice.

ADAM
All I need is a name.

BURSAR
The police are having some problems with Lucy’s background.

ADAM LIGHTS HIS PIPE.

ADAM
Oh?

BURSAR
Yes, they are short of information. They are trying to piece together her past.

ADAM REACHES INTO HIS JACKET POCKET.

ADAM
This might help.

ADAM GIVES HIM A PIECE OF PAPER.

BURSAR
What is this?

ADAM
Read it.

THE BURSAR READS

BURSAR
Who is Bella?

ADAM
Lucy.

BURSAR
Excuse me?

ADAM
She took on a different identity to escape her family. Read on. It’s all there.

THE BURSAR GROWS MORE CONCERNED WITH EACH LINE.

BURSAR
I don’t understand. Are you saying that this person here, Bella, is the same as Lucy?

ADAM
That is correct.

BURSAR
Good God man! You knew about this?

ADAM
The school seems to be quite careless when it comes to new recruits.

BURSAR
Where did you get this information?

ADAM
The Internet.

THE BURSAR RAISES AN EYEBROW.

ADAM
I know. I know. A friend got the information for me.

BURSAR
Someone else here knows about this?

ADAM
No. No one else does.

BURSAR
Are you sure?

ADAM
Trust me.

THE BURSAR SCANS THE PIECE OF PAPER AGAIN.

BURSAR
Good God. I will ask my secretary to investigate everyone again.

ROBIN RISES.

BURSAR
This information may be vital. I will telephone the police immediately. They might want to speak to you.

THE BURSAR STRIDES AWAY. ENTER AN IRATE GLEN. HE SITS DOWN OPPOSITE ADAM.

GLEN
Get me a drink!! This place employs some nasty people!

MATT
There you are Mr Miller. Mr Parson.

GLEN
What is it Matt?

MATT
I need to speak to you Mr Miller. In private.

ADAM
What is bothering you dear boy?

Sit down Matt.

MATT SITS DOWN ON A CHAIR. ADAM AND GLEN ON THE SOFA.

GLEN
How can I help you?

MATT
It’s a delicate matter and I’m not sure that I want Mr Parson to hear it.

ADAM
Trust me dear boy. Secrets and delicate matters are always safe with me.

GLEN
I can vouch for that.

MATT HESITATES.

MATT
If I see one smirk I’m off.

GLEN AN ADAM HOLDS THEIR HANDS UP IN DEFENCE.

MATT
It’s Clare.

14. INT. HOUSE MAIN AREA DAY

CHRISTINE REMOVES A RESTRAINT FROM A WINDOW. GEORGIA WATCHES.

CHRISTINE
You climb out, put the restraint back on and close the window. You do the same
when you come back and Bob’s your uncle.

GEORGIA
Who else knows about this?

CHRISTINE
Sophie and Charlotte. They claim that they saw the axe man in the Old House one night. The door was locked, the buzzer alarm on and I had to let them in through this window.

GEORGIA
Cool.

15. INT. FLAT LOUNGE DAY

ADAM AND GLEN, SITTING ON THE SOFA LISTEN TO MATT, SITTING ON A CHAIR.

MATT
Listen.

MATT LEANS FORWARDS IN HIS CHAIR

MATT
We have known each other for over a year and we have just kissed.

ADAM AND GLEN GIVE EACH OTHER A LOOK.

GLEN
Good!

MATT
And I want more now if you understand what I mean?

ADAM
Understood.

MATT
The trouble is that she is a virgin.

GLEN
My.

ADAM
Ah!

ADAM AND GLEN GIVE EACH OTHER ANOTHER LOOK.

MATT
I don’t know how to deal with it!

ADAM AND GLEN COUGH KNOWINGLY.

ADAM
I can see the problem.

GLEN
Absolutely.

ADAM
Delicate indeed.

MATT
Can you help me?

GLEN AND ADAM LOOK AT EACH OTHER.

ADAM GLEN
Certainly! Absolutely!

MORE DELICATE COUGHING FROM GLEN AND ADAM.

GLEN
You have opened with a kiss. Good.

ADAM
Most impressive.

MATT
Well, not exactly.

ADAM
Oh?

MATT
I have been fondling her breasts for months.

ADAM AND GLEN LOOK AT MATT IN AMAZEMENT.

GLEN
Before the kiss?

ADAM
Good God man! How did you do that?

MATT
It started as a joke really. She seemed to like it and she’s let me ever since.

ADAM AND GLEN GIVE EACH OTHER ANOTHER LOOK.

ADAM
And now you are ready to explore a bit further, what?

MATT
Yes! My late wife was good in bed. Never a problem. For Clare it seems to be a huge issue. When I touch those warm voluptuous …

LOUD COUGHING FROM ADAM AND GLEN.

MATT
Sorry. Well you know what they’re like.

ADAM
I recall.

GLEN
If only I could have mine back.

MATT AND ADAM GIVE EACH OTHER A LOOK.

GLEN
But that’s my problem … Well now, you must woo her. It is as simple as that.

MATT
Woo her?

ADAM
You will have to buy her plenty of flowers.

GLEN
Kiss her tenderly …

ADAM
On the cheeks, her mouth, her neck, the back of her ears …

GLEN
Especially the neck. Always greatly appreciated.

ADAM
Indeed. You should spoil her with elaborate meals.

GLEN
At the most expensive restaurants you can afford.

ADAM
Slowly you will win her over. Set the pace. Do not touch her breasts. That will infuriate her.

GLEN
Pardon?

ADAM
In her case!!

GLEN
Aaah. Right.

ADAM
Woo her and woo her again. And after one such a meal take her to your place.
She will not suspect a thing as you have been a gentleman throughout.

GLEN
Place her on the sofa. Play soft music and serve some Chardonnay. Kiss her with
passion, yet gently.

ADAM LOOKS AGHAST AT GLEN

ADAM
Chardonnay? Good god man, she surely deserves some quality. A good Burgundy perhaps … Or even better Savenniéres 2001.

GLEN
Never heard of it.

ADAM
Trust me. A fine vintage.

GLEN
In that case, give her Savenniéres 2001.

ADAM LIGHTS HIS PIPE.

ADAM
Now is the time to take the initiative.

GLEN
Carefully lower her dress strap.

ADAM
Kiss her shoulder. Lick it softly. Linger there for a while. Test the waters.

GLEN
Ooh, those lovely soft shoulders.

ADAM
Slowly descend towards her breast. Mind you, she might object. In that case, stay with the shoulders a little longer.

MATT LISTENS WITH GROWING UNEASE AS GLEN AND ADAM GET CARRIED AWAY.

GLEN
Roll your tongue around her nipple.

ADAM
Aah, to feel the nipple swell in your mouth.

GLEN
By now she will quiver in your arms.

ADAM
Your hand slowly moves towards her belly. If she objects again you should go immediately back to her breast.

GLEN
If she is fine you kiss her navel softly.

MATT
Navel?

ADAM
Belly button.

MATT
Oh.

GLEN
Keep kissing the navel, whilst your fingers teases her pubic hair.

ADAM
Then you kiss her on her mouth and let your hand linger.

GLEN
Then touch her. Enough to give her a taste of what is to come. And move your hand back to her breast.

ADAM
She will now be like putty in your hands.

GLEN
Carry her to your bed.

ADAM
And make love to her the entire night.

GLEN
It is that simple.

GLEN AND ADAM SIT BACK WITH A DEEP SIGH OF PLEASURE. MATT SWALLOWS HARD.

MATT
Flipping heck! You call that simple?

GLEN GETS UP.

GLEN
It is. Come along, you have a lot of work to do.

MATT GETS UP AND HE AND GLEN WALK AWAY.

GLEN
One more thing. Never hurry her. Let it happen naturally. Take your time.

MATT
Yes Mr Miller.

GLEN OPENS THE DOOR AND STEPS OUT WITH MATT. ADAM GETS UP AND STANDS IN FRONT OF THE MIRROR.]

ADAM
If only I could have done this with you.

LUCY’S IMAGE APPEARS INTO THE MIRROR.

ADAM
It would have been perfect.

LUCY SMILES AT HIM AND GESTURES HIM TOWARDS HER. HER IMAGE SLOWLY DISAPPEARS. ADAM SIGHS DEEPLY. GLEN RETURNS. ADAM LIGHTS HIS PIPE.

GLEN
You can use the spare room. If you hear erotic noises tonight, ignore them.

ADAM
You are convinced that you can win Christine back?

GLEN
I am certain.

GLEN GRABS HIS DRIVING LICENSE AND WALKS OUT OF HIS FLAT.
