Carol, Wayne and others in “Unfinished Business”

I, er, brought you some tea.

Wayne

Oh, cheers. Just finished, as it happens.

Is that your job? Windows?

Wayne

Only when the lads have got a ball. Basically, I'm a chippie. [Takes the mug] Ta. Here, look, I'm sorry about rubbishing your old man, you know. Me and Arthur get on like a house on fire.

Oh, well, it's more than I do.

Wayne

Oh, yeah? [They sit on a bench in the pub car park] Bit iffy, is it?

Since my mum left, he's got worse, really. All his children are a terrible disappointment to him.

Wayne

How come?

None of us joined the Air Force. My sister lives with a lecturer, and my brother's gay and runs a health food restaurant.

Wayne

Oh, yeah? And what do you do?

I'm studying sociology at Nottingham. My last year.

Wayne

And then where?

As far away as possible.

Wayne

[Pulls a cigarette from behind his ear] Here, d'you want one of these?

Oh thanks, yeah. [Wayne gives her a cigarette from his packet and lights both cigarettes. Carol takes a drag then exhales.] I used to love it round here when I was a kid. I can't stand it now. The people have changed. They're all the rich overspill from Sheffield, or retired Tories with nothing better to do than complain about Arthur Scargill.

Wayne

Yeah. I reckon our presence here's raised a few eyebrows. [Carol chuckles.]

[Calls round the side of the pub] Carol!

[Sighs] See you later. [Gets up and leaves Wayne.]
