Episode Six: Sex And The School (part four)

23. INT. FLAT LOUNGE DAY

GLEN FURIOUSLY ENTERS HIS FLAT. HE SLAMS THE DOOR SHUT AND OPENS HIS DRINKS CABINET. HE GIVES AN EXCLAMATION OF FRUSTRATION WHEN HE FINDS NO BOTTLES. ADAM WATCHES HIM WITH INTEREST

ADAM
No luck then.

GLEN
Everybody is at it! Amy is at it!
Cosmo is at it! The only person who
isn’t, is me!!

ADAM
I beg to differ my dear boy. I am
not at it either.

GLEN
Oh, no of course not. Sorry.

ADAM
That is quite all right dear chap …
Cosmo you said?

GLEN OPENS AND CLOSES CUPBOARDS IN SEARCH OF ALCOHOL

GLEN
Sophie seduced the little squirt.

ADAM
Sophie Ascot eh?

GLEN
Never seen such embarrassment.

ADAM
Mathematicians need their breaks.
Good to know he’s not stuck behind
a computer all day.

GLEN HAS FINALLY FOUND A FORGOTTEN BOTTLE OF WHISKY IN A CUPBOARD. HE SIGHS WITH DELIGHT, UNSCREWS THE BOTTLE AND TAKES A LONG HARD SWIG

GLEN
If I can’t have the girl, I shall have
my boys back.

ADAM
And what was that about Amy?

GLEN
Her old man is back. The brute that
stopped me entering Silver Birch.

ADAM
Army Captain Short. A nasty piece of
work.

GLEN POURS SOME WHISKY IN A GLASS AND HANDS IT TO ADAM

ADAM
Why didn’t she want you back?

GLEN
The silly girl says that she doesn’t
love me anymore.

ADAM
I see.

ADAM LIGHTS HIS PIPE.

ADAM
Love can tear us apart, what?

GLEN
Nah. Plenty of fish in the sea. I
only hope that they are as good in
bed.

ADAM
I drink to that. Happy angling my dear
boy. I might join you shortly.

THEY CLINK THEIR GLASS AND BOTTLE. GLEN WALKS INTO HIS KITCHEN. ADAM STARES AT HIS GLASS. LUCY’S IMAGE APPEARS IN THE GLASS. SHE WAVES HER INDEX FINGER DISAPPROVINGLY FROM SIDE TO SIDE

ADAM
You are my past. Don’t begrudge me
another chance!

24. INT. SWIMMING POOL DAY

RICHARD
You are the most beautiful woman in the
world.

RICHARD KISSES HER SOFTLY ON THE LIPS. HIS HANDS EXPLORE HER BODY AND HE TAKES THE TOWEL AWAY. ALARMED, AMY TENSES

RICHARD
With the body of a young girl.

RICHARD UNDOES AMY’S BIKINI TOP AND KISSES HER ON THE NECK AND BEHIND HER EAR. AMY BREATHES OUT SLOWLY

RICHARD
Forgive me for hurting you. Let me make
it up.

RICHARD KISSES HER SOFTLY ON THE LIPS. RELIEVED AMY KISSES HIM BACK

RICHARD
Let’s make love.

CLARE SORTS THE POST AS MATT, IN HIS BEST SUIT AND CARRYING A BOUQUET, ENTERS. CLARE LOOKS AT HIM IN AMAZEMENT

MATT
I owe you a huge apology.

MATT GIVES CLARE THE BOUQUET.

MATT
I was wrong.

CLARE OPENS HER MOUTH. MATT PUTS UP HIS HAND TO STOP HER SPEAKING

MATT
Totally wrong and I ask your forgiveness
for my clumsiness.

CLARE OPENS HER MOUTH TO SPEAK AND AGAIN MATT PUTS UP HIS HAND

MATT
I will understand if you have doubts
about me and I will have more regard for
your feelings. I promise.

CLARE OPENS HER MOUTH TO SPEAK. MATT PUTS UP HIS HAND

MATT
Before you scold me, I have booked us
a table at a restaurant tonight and I
promise that I will be the perfect
gentleman.

CLARE WAITS FOR HIM TO CONTINUE

MATT
That is all I have to say. I hope that
you will have me back.

CLARE
We need to talk.

You might want to wash them. My friends
tried them on.

27. INT. RESTAURANT NIGHT

MATT, IN HIS BEST SUIT AND CLARE DRESSED IN HER BEST DRESS, HER HAIR STYLED, SIT OPPOSITE AT A SMALL TABLE

MATT
Is this place alright?

CLARE
It is rather good, isn’t it?

MATT
Nothing but the best.

THE WAITER SERVES THEM THEIR FOOD AND THEY BEGIN TO EAT

CLARE
I have to explain things.

MATT
I understand.

CLARE
I don’t think that you do. It is
slightly awkward.

MATT
I have thought about it you know.

CLARE
I am nervous Matt.

MATT
Me too. I have not had a virgin in
years. I have forgotten what it’s
like.

CLARE
Are you making fun of me?

MATT
No! I’m not. I’m just trying to get my
head around it.

THEY EAT IN SILENCE FOR A WHILE

MATT
I do remember my first time though. I
was as edgy as hell.

CLARE
Well then. You should know how I feel.

MATT
I will be patient. I promise.

CLARE
Thank you.

THEY EAT

CLARE
I spoke to Mrs Short about my problem
and she advised me to talk to you.

MATT
I talked to Mr Miller about it and he
advised me to take things slow.

CLARE
Do you want that?

MATT
I want what you want.

CLARE
In that case …

CLARE WAVES THE WAITER OVER

28. INT. COMMON ROOM NIGHT

ADAM AND GLEN MINGLE WITH OTHER TEACHERS TASTING WINE. GLEN SWIGS HIS AS ADAM LETS THE WINE ROLL AROUND HIS MOUTH. GLEN PUTS A BOTTLE OF WINE IN A BOX THAT CONTAINS THREE WINE BOTTLES

ADAM
This is quite good.

GLEN
As long as it is alcohol, I don’t care.

ADAM
You should dear chap. Superior wine,
like a good woman, is difficult to get
these days.

GLEN
Georgia wants me to be her tutor.

ADAM
Be careful Glen. You are on leave.

GLEN
I will see her later.

ADAM
Why does she want you?

GLEN
Christine recommended me.

ROBIN, THE BURSAR, ENTERS AND GLEN QUICKLY HIDES HIS BOX OF WINE

BURSAR
Glen? What the devil are you doing here?

ADAM
Accompanying me Robin. Making sure
that he keeps to the straight and
narrow.

BURSAR
Ah. Good. We want to keep you sober from
now on.

GLEN
Not to worry Robin. Everything in small
measure from now on.

BURSAR
Good, good. Adam can I have a word?

ADAM
Certainly.

BURSAR
Come this way.

ADAM AND THE BURSAR WALK AWAY FROM THE OTHERS. GLEN QUICKLY PICKS UP HIS BOX AND EXITS

ADAM
What can I do for you?

BURSAR
I gave that information to the police.
It made sense to them. They know the
family and their history. They want to
talk to you.

ADAM
I doubt very much that I can add
anything.

BURSAR
Nevertheless I made an appointment for
you. Tomorrow at ten am. Is that okay?

ADAM
I shall be there.

BURSAR
Good.

THE BURSAR TURNS AND WALKS AWAY. HE TURNS BACK

BURSAR
Oh by the way. Just one more thing …

No … No … No …

CLARE
I haven’t missed much have I!

MATT
Oh flipping heck Clare!

CLARE
I suppose that you want to go home now.

MATT
Oh god, how embarrassing.

CLARE
What a fuss over nothing!

MATT
I haven’t done it for such a long
time! I am so sorry Clare.

GLEN
Absolutely gorgeous.

GEORGIA
I have got behind since changing school.
I need to catch up with you.

PRETENDING TO READ, SHE OPENS HER LEGS SLOWLY, GIVING GLEN A GOOD VIEW OF HER UNDERWEAR. SHE THEN PRETENDS TO SUDDENLY NOTICE WHAT SHE IS DOING

GEORGIA
Oh, I am so sorry.

GLEN
Not at all … You have wonderful
long legs. May I?

GEORGIA
By all means.

GLEN STROKES GEORGIA’S LEG

GLEN
Smooth.

HIS HAND SLOWLY TRAVELS UP HER LEG. HE LOOKS UP AT GEORGIA, WHO IS WATCHING HIM, WITH THE TIP OF HER TONGUE PROTRUDING FROM HER MOUTH

GLEN
Perfectly formed.

HE TAKES HIS HAND AWAY. GEORGIA GRABS HIS HAND AND PUTS IT BACK ON HER LEG

bedroom?

COSMO
I can be quick.

CHARLOTTE
Not too quick. Lay down.

COSMO AND CHARLOTTE LIE DOWN AND COSMO KISSES HER ON THE CHEEK

GLEN
Meet me there tomorrow at break.

GEORGIA
Why there?

GLEN
Another tutorial. You need to know your
Lawrence from your Austen. Come here.

GLEN
Can’t wait.

THEY HEAR A WAIL FROM THE SPARE ROOM

GEORGIA
Get me out of here. The man’s mad.

Did she?

GEORGIA
She used to see someone.

GLEN
Who?

GEORGIA
Why the interest?

I like to know what my students are up
to.

RELIEVED, GLEN KISSES HER. HE GETS UP, WRAPS THE DUVET AROUND HIMSELF AND LEADS GEORGIA TO THE DOOR

GLEN
Don’t tell her about us. Don’t tell
