INT. OLD BULL ENTRANCE - EVENING
Katie is stood outside the entrance to the Old Bull talking on her mobile. She is looking annoyed like she is not getting the answer which she wants. We don't hear the person on the other end.
INT. OLD BULL - EVENING.
Georgie and Dave are sat at the same table as earlier. Neil enters with a fresh pint.
NEIL
God knows what she's got to talk
about on that phone, all she
does is work in Topshop.
GEORGIE
Work, work, work!
Is that how you judge people?
NEIL
There's ale as well.
Neil takes a large swig of his pint and extenuates his 'ahhh'.
NEIL
I'm just goin' to see how that
pisshouse is lookin' today.
Neil exits. He walks like he has trouble with his piles. He is not wearing a belt so his jeans are slightly falling down and we can see his boxer shorts riding halfway up his back.
Katie enters. She looks relieved when she doesn't see Neil.
KATIE
Where is he?
GEORGIE
Guess.
KATIE
He went twice before youse got here.
Katie looks over towards the male toilets hoping that Neil won't be coming back any time soon.
GEORGIE
Hey, what if he's meeting another
girl at the other side of the pub?
KATIE
Good! I don't like him.
GEORGIE
But you're supposed to
be his girlfriend.
KATIE
No, I'm not!
GEORGIE
Sorry, I just thought...
KATIE
I only met him 'cause I
was on my own.
GEORGIE
What got you talkin'?
INT. OLD BULL - EVENING - FLASHBACK
Katie goes to open the door to the pub exit. We can see another person about to enter the pub. Katie holds the door open for them to enter.
We then see that the person on the other side of the door is Neil. Neil is dressed in his usual attire. Katie smiles when she sees Neil. Neil looks at her like she's weird.
NEIL
Do I know you?
KATIE
Erm, sorry...
I didn't mean to... erm.
Katie covers her eyes with her hand.
NEIL
You was about to leave,
weren't you?
Neil stands to the side so that Katie can exit and subtlety nods his head towards outside.
KATIE
Well, only because this creep
just tried it on with me at the bar.
Neil starts to laugh but she's that Katie's not impressed by this.
NEIL
You on your own?
KATIE
Basically, yeah.
I've had a bad day,
I split up with my boyfriend.
Katie waits for a few words of comfort but Neil looks like he obviously doesn't know what to say.
KATIE
You on your own?
NEIL
I've had a bad life.
I split up wi' my Natalie
six month back.
18 months we we're goin' out.
KATIE
You'll know what I'm
goin' through then?
NEIL
I will aye.
(beat)
She's dead anyway,
as far as I'm concerned.
Katie looks at Neil as if to say 'you can't say a think like that'.
NEIL
I'm not bothered anyway.
I've got my ale and that
gets me through.
Katie looks at Neil like she doesn't know whether to make a move on him or not.
KATIE
Well, I don't see why I
should have to leave just
'cause of one loser.
Fancy joining me?
NEIL
Aye, while you're doin' nowt.
Neil and Katie start walking towards the bar.
KATIE
That guy bought me a drink.
But I chucked it in his face
when he tried in on with me.
NEIL
It's all ale, innit?
Ale got you into it,
ale got you out of it.
Katie looks at Neil wondering what the hell he is talking about. Behind the bar is HOLLY who is stood biting her nails and generally looking bored.
