THE TWO POLICEMEN RIP OFF THEIR UNIFORMS AND PROCEED TO DANCE AROUND MIRANDA WHO IS COMPLETELY STUNNED FOR A FEW MOMENTS, BUT THEN COMPLETELY RECOVERS TO JOIN IN…
...LATER
MIRANDA IS LAUGHING AND DRINKING WINE WITH JO, SALLY AND CLAIRE.
MIRANDA
I don't think we need to worry about seeing David ever again!
SALLY
Well, we'd better be going; it was really great to see you again, Miranda.
MIRANDA
Let's not leave it so long next time.
JO, SALLY AND CLAIRE LEAVE AND MIRANDA CLEARS AWAY THE GLASSES AND STARTS WASHING UP IN THE KITCHEN.
GARY ENTERS, WATCHING MIRANDA, HER BACK TO HIM, FOR A FEW MOMENTS BEFORE HE SPEAKS.
GARY
Hi.
MIRANDA
Oh, Gary, hi. I was just going to make a coffee, do you want one?
GARY
Um, yeah, great.
MIRANDA
Take a seat.
GARY DOESN'T SIT DOWN. INSTEAD HE WALKS RIGHT UP TO MIRANDA AND KISSES HER. MIRANDA IS TAKEN BY SURPRISE BUT AFTER A FEW SECONDS SHE PUSHES HIM AWAY.
MIRANDA
Gary! What are you doing?
GARY
Sorry. I'm just so relieved.
MIRANDA
Ok. But don't let it happen again.
GARY
It's like that, is it?
MIRANDA
I don't know what you mean, Gary, do you want sugar?
GARY
What?
MIRANDA
Sugar. In your coffee.
GARY
Miranda!
MIRANDA
Suit yourself. Here's your coffee.
MIRANDA HANDS GARY A CUP AND TAKES HER OWN COFFEE OVER TO THE SOFA. GARY FOLLOWS HER.
GARY
Miranda, can we talk?
MIRANDA
We talk every day.
GARY
You're not going to make this easy, are you?
MIRANDA
It is easy, Gary, you just open and shut your mouth and words come out. And yes, I am being facetious, so perhaps you should stop beating around the bush and tell me what you really want to say.
GARY
Ok. You're right. I will. It's like this. Well... You see...
PENNY, TILLY, CHARLIE AND STEVIE, ALONG WITH THE TWO POLICEMEN, BURST INTO THE FLAT, ALL DOING THE CONGA.
ONE OF THE POLICEMEN GRABS MIRANDA AND THEY ALL CONGA OUT WITH HER, LEAVING GARY STILL STUTTERING.
END OF EPISODE ONE.
