[After Mini and her friends join Franky at lunch]
MiniHaven't seen you around Bristol. How come you started so late?
I kind of, like, moved here.
Mini
From where?
Mini
Understandable. But why?
[standing up] Look, if you are going to start shit now, then please could you get it over with, because I've had enough grief before, and I...
Mini
[confused] "Start shit?"
Before, like, Oxford, or past life before? Because I had a dream two Sundays ago that I was a slave actually working on a plantation and...
MLMini and Liv
[in unison] Shut up, Grace.
JJemima
You've gained 57 grams.
Mini
Wait, um...
[Mini begins taking off accessories and gets back on scale]
[Mini keeps taking off clothes]
JJemima
Mini! It's not on. Let me impart a phrase that I apply to most situations in life: Good girls don't swallow.
Mini
Are you fucking kidding me?
Mini
So you thought you'd just look through my stuff?
Shit, I'm sorry. [gets off bed] Hey. [Mini doesn't respond, and just stares sullenly at him] Can you turn off Megabitch for a second please? I want proper Mini.
Mini
[beginning to smile] Well, seeing as you're here, you might as well earn your keep.
No, no, no, Mini, Mini, Mini. Look, that's not why I came round, all right? I want to talk to you. [Mini smiles and takes her dress off. Alo picks her up and flips her over onto her back] I'm sorry I freaked you out the other night.
Mini
You were fucked.
Mini
[pushes Alo off the bed] You can't just come over here and start bitching about feelings like a little pussy. If you're not here to fuck me, go home.
EEric
[knocks on door] I'm coming in...
Mini
What? Get out, Eric, you paedo!
EEric
[covering his eyes] I...I don't think that Alo should be staying over, if that's what you were thinking. [lowers hand to look at Alo] No offence, mate.
Mini
Are you having a fucking schizophrenic episode or something?
EEric
I'm trying to do the right thing. You're a young girl. Your mum wouldn't like it.
Mini
He's staying over. In here. With me. And we are going to fuck so loud that it drowns out the noise of you fucking my mother. [shoves Eric out of the door]
EEric
[through door] And your tea's ready.
Mini
[Alo pats the bed suggestively] You're sleeping on the floor.
[looking through a scrapbook, laughing] What's the one where Liv looks like a condom?
Mini
Is Grace dressed as Cinderella?
Mini
Hallowe'en, Year 10. Liv went as a condom.
[both of them laugh]
And the one where Grace is holding a massive crab?
Mini
Newquay, summer before college.
She looks happy. [Mini rolls over to face him] Mini, I miss her too.
Mini
Are you going to keep giving me the silent treatment? I just waded through a sea of shit for you.
Great. Thanks. I just...you know, I'd quite like for you not to be here right now.
Mini
I'm telling you I'm sorry.
And I'm telling you it doesn't matter.
Mini
I thought it was working. We...we agreed...
I'm done, Mins. It's too much. It's too fucking exhausting loving you.
Mini
But Alo, I...
Say it. [Mini stares at him] I don't think you know how to love anything.
[Alo has just climbed through Mini's window]
Mini
Oh for fuck's sake, Farmboy, what are you playing at?
Okay, okay, okay. With a little hindsight, the whole breaking and entering does feel a bit excessive but to be fair, I did knock and you didn't answer which is kind of rude considering you're actually home.
Mini
Maybe because I didn't want to speak to a child molester!
Mini
What, you slipped, fell and molested a pre-teen girl?
Mini
I mean, congratulations, you've finally found someone with the same mental age as you. But seriously, Alo, what is wrong with you?
You're what's wrong with me! I'm not just some lame Michael Cera. You can't treat me like a bitch and expect me not to fall in love with you. It's not fair, Mini.
Mini
Who said I was in love with you?
Don't. Don't do that. Don't revert back to that Mean Girls McGuinness bullshit, okay? I hate that girl. I want you. I know you, Mini. I know you're afraid, you're of being alone, but guess what? I'm not your dad.
Mini
It's not that easy.
How? How is it not that easy? I don't see what can be easier than just you and me. What are you so afraid of? What...what is it?
Mini
I want you to go, Alo.
Mini
Leave now. Get out. Get out of my room. Get out, get out of my room.
Okay, okay, I'll go. [Mini opens the door and Alo steps outside but pushes back in before she shuts him out] I love you, and I know you love me too. And when you're ready to admit that, you come and find me, because I'll be fucking waiting. However long it takes. [Alo leaves]
[Mini cries, sitting down on her bed. Franky falls out of the wardrobe]
