Rachel Mason quotes from Waterloo Road

Rachel Mason

Oh good morning!

Eddie Lawson

Can I have a word?

Rachel Mason

You can go mad and have several, if you like. Come on!

Rachel Mason

What is it?

Eddie Lawson

I don't want to worry or panic you, ok...

Rachel Mason

Oh! I knew this day was too good to be true, you're going to spoil it, aren't you?

Eddie Lawson

What?

Rachel Mason

I know its as rare as hens teeth but you are looking at a happy headmistress.

Eddie Lawson

Why so happy?

Rachel Mason

Well, erm... its the end of term and er... we're going to thrash Forest Mount at the spelling bee and the football and you what? I think this school is finally working out! And! This is the first morning that I've come in and not been greated by doom, disaster and destruction. So what is it?

Eddie Lawson

You know what? I can wait.

Rachel Mason

No, no, no, no, no, tell me, what is it?

Eddie Lawson

What are you doing tonight?

Rachel Mason

Er, tonight? I don't know, why?

Eddie Lawson

Its the end of term I thought... I could take you out and celebrate.

Rachel Mason

Thats really nice of you to ask, erm...

Eddie Lawson

Yeah just... I thought it'd be nice to talk, you know? Away from this place.

Rachel Mason

Yeah, what about?

Eddie Lawson

Everything? Have a drink.

Rachel Mason

I would love to, thank you [giggles]

Eddie Lawson

Good. Right. About 8 o'clock?

Rachel Mason

Fine by me

Eddie Lawson

Good. [turns to leave but remembers something else] Er... I need to see the budget for the PE department.

Rachel Mason

Ah, ah. I've got that... somewhere [walks to the filing cabinets and routes for paperwork whilst Eddie takes the letter from Hordley from the pile on her desk] Here we go

Eddie Lawson

Great. 8 o'clock?

Rachel Mason

[nods] Yeah!

Rachel Mason

Eddie what do you think? Formal at the table or informal on the sofas?

Eddie Lawson

Er, I'm sorry, what is it your asking me?

Coming to something when we've got to protect our kids like this

Rachel Mason

Not a lot I can do about that, Ralph

You're right. Just got to be careful who we let in next time
