1.
ALAN guides JOYCE into a room that is supposed to look cosy.
JOYCE is still. She responds minimally to ALANâs physical guidance.
ALAN: Here we go mum.
This is your new room.
The woman is silent.
He guides her into a chair.
Oh, it is hot isnât it?
Yes. We should take that coat off.
He takes her coat off.
Thatâs better isnât it?
Pause.
Well youâll be wanting to unpack straight away wonât you, get your things out, make the place your own.
And then I can get out of your way.
So Iâll just go and get your bags now and leave you with
well Iâll find someone
a nurse or
as I say Iâll just get your bags and I wonât be a second.
ALAN exits.
ALAN returns.
Phew! Heavy eh?
Whatâve you got in here?
He puts the case down on the bed and begins to unpack, he takes a photo frame.
Thatâs a nice one isnât it?
Me and Carol and Toby. Look at all that sun. What a beautiful day that was.
He puts it on the bedside table.
What do you reckon?
No Iâm not sure either,
Letâs put it here.
He puts it on the window ledge.
Now you can see it from anywhere in the room.
He begins to unpack further, but stops.
Iâm not sure where to, I mean I donât know if there is a system or, maybe someone else should finish all this for you.
Pause.
Because I, er, looking at the time, I have to go Iâm meeting someone a, a new friend, anyway. Iâll come back soon.
I mean Iâll probably be round all the time, you wonât be able to get rid of me!
This place is lovely isnât it?
Fantastic view.
Like a forest, all those trees. Elm arenât they?
Iâm sure they are. Itâs a shame then theyâll all have to get chopped down. Theyâll get that Dutch Elm disease and theyâll all die. You canât tell from the outside but, itâs little bugs crawling under the bark going from tree to tree and thereâs no cure. They work their way right to the core of the trunk and kill it. You just have to cut them down, in their prime of life, just cut them anyway.
Bye mum. Love you.
ALAN exits, JOYCE is alone.
JOYCE: I hate trees.
They clutter up a view
Thatâs why I like Lewis. Not really many trees on the island. All those rocks.
Like the moon.
We would go every year until that last time when...
That last day. It plays endlessly
I sit heavy in this life and that day sits heavy in my head.
2.
STELLA and ALAN sit together drinking. STELLA has a glass of wine.
Silence.
ALAN: Iâve not really done anything like this before.
I mean, of course I have done things like this, but not like this
I donât have to pay people to talk to, to
STELLA: itâs ok Alan.
Weâre just getting to know each other, thatâs all.
ALAN: I know but I wanted to say that Iâm not
STELLA: itâs ok.
Iâm just enjoying spending time with you.
ALAN: Company
STELLA: yes. Company, conversation, whatever
ALAN: and just, itâs really nice to talk to someone who is...
Itâs nice to meet someone different you know?
STELLA: absolutely
ALAN: thatâs what I wanted, get to know a new person
STELLA: youâre interested in people
ALAN: yes.
STELLA: Meeting people, drinking, having a good time
ALAN: is your wine ok?
STELLA: yes, itâs lovely
ALAN: shall I get you another one then?
STELLA: Iâd love one.
ALAN: Donât feel you have to, because I can see youâve still got most the glass left but I thought, I would have one so I should offer you
STELLA: Iâd love another drink.
ALAN: Great.
ALAN starts to get up to the bar.
Or we could go somewh...
