HAROLD SCUNTHORPE:
Evening son.
CLARENCE SCUNTHORPE:
Didn't realise how out of shape i truly am.
HAROLD SCUNTHORPE:
Why the boxing gloves? You're not challenging for the boxing world championship, you know.
CLARENCE SCUNTHORPE:
I'm getting ready. A friend needs assistance with a domestic issue.
HAROLD SCUNTHORPE:
And as we should know, in a twisted fantasy, all domestic issues just need a clout.
LUCY SCUNTHORPE:
Phone call for you, Clarence.
HAROLD SCUNTHORPE:
How are you keeping Lucy.
LUCY SCUNTHORPE:
I'm keeping fine, or as near as.
NYSSA SCUNTHORPE:
Clarence, you're not going to solve anything with violence.
CLARENCE SCUNTHORPE:
I don't know who the people who are threatening one of my comrades are, I'm taking no chances.
GUS GARFIELD:
Before you ask, I'm just an innocent person who is in the group.
HAROLD SCUNTHORPE:
Clarence, calm down. I know you want to help this person, but don't wear yourself out and also get a shower.
CLARENCE SCUNTHORPE:
You don't understand, dad. i just need to do this.
HAROLD SCUNTHORPE:
Your great-granddad Michael boxed from the age of 12 till he suddenly died in 1959 aged 43, when big Rob Huntingdon smacked him 'ard in the head.
GUS GARFIELD:
Didn't know the Scunthorpe family tree had more than 3 people in it.
HAROLD SCUNTHORPE:
Of course it does. He has a brother Lee, and Michael had a wife our Edith. The only problem was that she died of Alzheimer's Disease in 1990.
NYSSA SCUNTHORPE:
I remember Clarence challenged Steven Clough to a fist fight at six o'clock in Leeds' graveyard, never turned up.
CLARENCE SCUNTHORPE:
He had a knife. If it was a fair fist fight, i would have, but I'm not getting stabbed to prove a point.
Harold Scunthorpe:
Is that not what you're doing here? Are you just working yourself up to be stabbed.
GUS GARFIELD:
How do you mean?
HAROLD SCUNTHORPE:
He was like this before the fight. Maybe these people have a knife, and you're walking into their trap.
GUS GARFIELD:
He doesn't have to participate. I and the boys can do this.
CLARENCE SCUNTHORPE:
No, and look, dad, i know you've got my best interests at heart, but this is something i have to do.
HAROLD SCUNTHORPE:
If they harm my boy, then so god help your collective.
CLARENCE SCUNTHORPE:
I'll go for a shower.
GUS GARFIELD:
If you weren't his dad, I'd have knocked your head off.
(Gus exits)
LUCY SCUNTHORPE:
More tea?
