Heading Out – Justine's Birthday
Set one month after the end of series one
CHAPTER ONE
AT JAMIE'S FLAT
Jamie and Sara are wrapping presents for Justine's birthday.
JAMIE – "I don't see why it makes any difference, just because your brother beat you to it, doesn't mean you can back out of telling them."
SARA – "You heard what they said; 'Well at least we've got you to provide the grandchildren!' How can I tell them after that?"
Jamie suddenly notices what a mess Sara is making of the present she is wrapping.
JAMIE – "What are you doing? That looks dreadful!"
SARA – "What?"
JAMIE – "Give it to me, I'll redo it."
SARA – "It's just the wrapping; she's going to tear the whole lot off in about 3 seconds flat."
Jamie ignores her.
JAMIE – "Now, everything is booked for Justine's birthday surprise, I just need to know if you'll be bringing anyone?"
SARA – "No, just me. And don't ask."
JAMIE – "Fine, I won't."
The buzzer sounds and Sara answers it. It's Justine. Jamie swiftly hides the presents away before Justine enters.
JUSTINE – "Hi."
SARA – "Hi. Are you ok, you look a bit… "
JAMIE – "Peaky. Sit down. Cup of tea?"
JUSTINE – "Tea would be lovely. Yes, I've been feeling unwell for days."
SARA – "Well, there are lots of bugs going around. Why don't you see your GP? You want to be well for your birthday surprise this weekend."
JUSTINE – "I've already been to the GP. He said it would pass."
JAMIE – "Ok, here's your tea. Now, let's finalise the agenda for this weekend!"
SARA – "I don't believe it. You've actually got a printed agenda."
JAMIE – "Better to be safe than sorry!"
JUSTINE – "Bit late for that."
JAMIE – "Pardon?"
JUSTINE – "Nothing. Go ahead with the agenda."
