SCENE 11
Gale gets out of the office. He is very sad.
Robbie waits for him. When he sees Gale he comes near him.
Robbie Robinson
(scared)
Fuck... did he fire you? Don't worry, I will talk to him and...
Gale Hughes
(sad)
No. It's not that...
Robbie Robinson
Why are you sad then...?
Gale Hughes
(sad)
He made me a team manager...
Robbie Robinson
(confused)
Aha...
Gale Hughes
"Airline transportation" division.
Robbie Robinson
(confused)
Aha...
Gale Hughes
That's why I'm sad...
Robbie Robinson
(confused)
I don't get it. Got raise, fucked Angelica and being promoted... all this in just one day. Anyone else needs at least three years to get one of this... And you are the sad one!?
Gale Hughes
The problem is I have to come earlier than the others. Earlier than you... And I have no car.
Robbie Robinson
Ok...
Gale Hughes
And your car is cut on the list.
Robbie Robinson
No... I repair it.
Gale Hughes
No... I mean... Surely you have to take Kim to school at that time.
Robbie Robinson
Yes...
Gale Hughes
Can't you let her go on foot to school? And bring me to work earlier...
Robbie Robinson
No... she has too much to walk...
Gale Hughes
Can't you ask someone else to take her...?
Robbie Robinson
No... I don't have anyone.
Gale Hughes
A neighbor... a stranger... someone. Anyone...
Robbie Robinson
No... I don't want her to be raped...
Gale thinks many seconds.
Gale Hughes
Fucking girl...
A short break.
Gale Hughes
(looking up)
God, why didn't you give him a boy. To ruin my life, right... Thanks...
Robbie Robinson
I'm sorry, Gale...
Gale Hughes
It's not your fault, Robbie. It's the fault of your dick. If your dick could tell you that a girls coming... Surely you'd have thrown it into the closet... or into the towel...
Robbie Robinson
No... I wished a girl... and I'm very happy I have a girl...
Gale stands up.
Gale Hughes
I need a car...
Robbie Robinson
Buy one... surely you have enough money...
Gale Hughes
(sarcastic)
I don't know... let's see...
He gets his wallet and takes out 20 pounds.
Gale Hughes
(sarcastic)
Is it enough?...
Robbie Robinson
I mean... surely you have enough money at home. How much do you have...?
Gale Hughes
(sarcastic)
20...
Robbie Robinson
20,000 pounds. It's enough for a good car.
Gale Hughes
(sarcastic)
I meant 20 pounds... These 20 pounds. I don't have any money but this.
Robbie Robinson
Oh... It's not enough.
Gale begins to walk between the desks. He is upset. He is thinking.
Gale Hughes
(whispering)
What if I show the boss that I really don't have money...?
And he takes his 20 pounds, goes to the Xerox and makes 25 A4 copies... He prints... 20,000 pounds.
Then he starts to cut the pages in money format.
