Characters
DANIEL, mid-thirties
HELEN, mid-thirties
A late-summer evening.
A wooden kitchen table.
A blue-glass bowl full of plums.
Two empty wine glasses.
A bottle of red wine.
A small collection of plain polythene bags on the floor.
A man and woman, both in their early thirties.
DANIEL and HELEN.
DANIEL pours the wine.
HELEN | Itās nice to have you back. |
DANIEL | Itās good to be ā Itās strange. |
He kisses her. | |
HELEN | You smell of cigarettes. |
DANIEL | Yes. I know. |
HELEN | Were you smoking? |
DANIEL | Everyone smokes there. Itās almost rude not to. And it was a tense environment. Itās difficult to explain. I wanted to smoke. |
HELEN | So youāve started smoking. |

HELEN | You canāt smoke in the house. |
DANIEL | Of course not. |
Something of a pause. | |

DANIEL | Okay. Iāll do it tomorrow. |
HELEN | Itās just weāre getting close to the overdraft limit, Daniel. |
DANIEL | Sure. |
HELEN | Weāve been tightening the belt here while youāve been gone. |
DANIEL | Right. Iāll call her. |
Something of a pause. | |
Itās surprisingly good, though, isnāt it. ... |
