Breaking The Spell part 1

In the car park


 


(Holly is in the car park, trying to find a space. Just as she finds one, and goes to back into it, Patrick comes along in his car)

Holly: (to herself) Don't you dare Patrick! (he swurves right into the parking space, and gets out)

Patrick: Morning

Holly: Thanks a bunch Patrick! (she goes off to find another space, leaving him frowning)

* * * * * * *

(Holly gets out of her car, and just as she is several metres away from it, the alarm goes off)

Holly: (yells) Shut up! (she tries to switch it off. Patriick comes up to her as she manages to stop it)

Patrick: (smiling) You still having problems? You ought to get it fixed!

Holly: I know!

Patrick: I'll look at it again if you want

Holly: It was fine until you looked at it the last time!

Patrick: Oh that's right, blame me for everything!

Holly: I'm not blaming you Patrick, I'm just winding you up a little, that's all.

Ed Jamieson

Holly: You’ve never given him credit for anything have you?

Patrick: Except splitting us up. That’s one thing he did manage

Holly: No, we split up because of you, not him. You’re acting as though you’re still jealous of him.

Patrick: Me? Jealous? Jealous of him? That’s ridiculous.

* * * * *

Patrick: So?

Holly: So what?

Patrick: So what got him so rattled?

Holly: He made a pass at me if you must know. I told him to go away, he didn’t take it very well.

Patrick: Typical. He never could take a hint. I told you he couldn’t change.

Holly: What I don’t need right now Patrick is your jealously. That’s what came between us the last time.

Patrick: I’m not jealous of Ed. (Points to cup of tea/coffee that Holly is making him) Two sugars.

Holly: Well maybe not now but you certainly were then ok. And I never understood why you had it in for him.

Patrick: Envious

Holly: What?

Patrick: Envious, Not jealous. You were always laughing together, you found it easy to talk. Half the time I didn’t know what to say to you.

Holly: But I left him for you.

Patrick: I know. Didn’t stop me worrying that you’d go back to him, did it?

Holly: Oh I see so when he overdosed and you saved him you thought that would be the perfect excuse to get him thrown off the course.

Patrick: No I didn’t. I wanted to yes. He deserved it. But someone got there before me. I knew you never believed me about that. Ed told you he found out the name of the person who shopped him from the Dean, didn’t he?

Holly: Yes and he said it was you and I had no reason to think he would lie.

Patrick: But I did. (Holly shrugs and turns away) The reason that he lied to you was because he knew that you’d never forgive me and he’s right. I’m telling you the truth Holly and if you can’t except that then we’ve nothing more to say to each other. (Patrick turns and walks away and then changes his mind). You, you keep trying to change me. You keep wanting me to be someone that I’m not. I’ll never be good enough for you.

* * * * *

Holly: Patrick, erm, you were wrong you know.

Patrick: Oh there’s a surprised. Me being wrong.

Holly: Look about not being good enough for me. You are.

Patrick: You sure? Or you gonna change your mind if Ed turns up again?

Holly: No. I didn’t realise how vicious he could be.

Patrick: Yeah, well, should have listened to me, shouldn’t you?

Holly: Yeah, don’t push it. Listen, earlier you know when you said you were jealous… sorry envious of Ed?

Patrick: Yes?

Holly: Well that sounded like an apology to me.

Patrick: No, it can’t have been!

Holly: So, listen, erm. Do you fancy going for a drink later, after the shift?

Patrick: As long as you’re buying.
