SCENE 1
Beach.
DANNY: Who are you?
SAM: My name is Sam.
DANNY: Danny. What are you doing?
SAM: Reading a book.
DANNY: What for?
SAM: I like reading.
DANNY: But this is a beach. What are you reading a book on the beach for? No-one reads books on the beach.
SAM: Lots of people do.
DANNY: Oh yeah, magazines and stuff, crappy books to pass the time, but youâre really reading this book, really involved in it, arenât you? How come?
SAM: Iâve got a lot of reading before school goes back. The HSC this yearâ
DANNY: You ever been here before?
SAM: No never.
DANNY: Didnât think so. Where you staying?
SAM: In a house near the lagoon.
DANNY: Oh yeah. Thatâs our house up there. With all the glass and shit. We come here all the time, holidays, weekends.
SAM: Big house.
DANNY: Yeah.
GRAHAM, DANNYâs father, comes on.
GRAHAM: I want to know if you think youâre keeping up your end of the deal? Do you?
DANNY: Oh yeah.
GRAHAM: Definitely not. Youâve been out all day. You were out all day yesterday, all week. Not a book been opened. You will not get through this year with good results unless you work. Work hard. I thought that was understood. No?
DANNY: Yeah.
GRAHAM: Donât yeah me.
DANNY: Actually⊠this is Sam. Weâre mates. We study together.
GRAHAM: Is that so?
DANNY: Donât we?
SAM: Yes.
DANNY: This is my dad.
GRAHAM: Youâre on holiday here too?
DANNY: Of course he is.
SAM: Yes I am.
GRAHAM: Which is your house?
SAM: Weâre staying in a house near the lagoon.
DANNY: Weâre going to do some study now, arenât we?
SAM: Now?
DANNY: Yeah.
GRAHAM: You doing your HSC this year?
SAM: Yes.
GRAHAM: What are going to do after?
SAM: Iâm going to do Arts Law.
GRAHAM: Are you? Good on you.
DANNY: He was reading a book on the beach.
SAM: The novels for English are pretty long, so I thought Iâd get them read over the holiday.
GRAHAM: Terrific.
DANNY: Anyway, weâd better get stuck into it.
GRAHAM: You going to stick with Law?
SAM: Yes. Iâm going to be a solicitor.
GRAHAM: Or barrister, why not? Skyâs the limit.
DANNY: But you have to work, right?
GRAHAM: Your fatherâs footsteps?
SAM: No. My fatherâs an engineer.
GRAHAM: Heâll be pleased though.
SAM: Yes he will.
DANNY: Time to work. Weâre going to Samâs place to read Romeo and Juliet.
SAM: No. I have to help Mum getting tea.
DANNY: No. You said weâre going to study.
SAM: Not today. Sorry. See ya.
SAM goes.
GRAHAM: You werenât going to study, were you? Have you forgotten we made a deal? You spend the morning on the beach, back for lunch and three hours study in the afternoon.
DANNY: This is a holiday.
GRAHAM: No such thing if you want to get on. I made you promise, all stops out this year. We drew up a timetable, we balanced out reading time, revision time, consolidation time, free time, television time, and we agreed youâd stick to that and in exchangeâ
DANNY: I could have my holiday mornings to myself, yes.
GRAHAM: Weâve been here three weeks and you havenât spent more than two hours at your desk. Have you?
DANNY: No.
GRAHAM: Do you understand how serious this year is?
DANNY: Maybe you shouldnât have made me stay at school.
GRAHAM: Youâre not stupid. Youâve got it in you, youâre lazy, thatâs all.
DANNY: Maybe I should have done something else.
GRAHAM: Like what? Apprenticeship? To what? Industries that are practically dead.
DANNY: Maybe something else.
GRAHAM: Tell me, Danny, what?
DANNY: I think you should get off my back. Weâve just finished Christmas.
GRAHAM: When youâve got that piece of paper to say youâve got a place at university, Iâll get off your back.
DANNY: And whatâll you do if I donât get that piece of paper? Did you go to university?
GRAHAM: Donât I wish I had.
DANNY: Well, you did something with your life.
GRAHAM: That was twenty years ago. The worldâs getting narrower every day. Opportunities get smaller. If you donât start off on the right foot, you may as well give it away.
They go.
SCENE 2
A suburban street.
CATH: Now Iâd like you to stand near the fence, is that alright?
IAN: Fine.
CATH: Looks alright?
IAN: Yes, it looks fine.
CATH: And open the letter really slowly, letâs see your hands opening it up, then read the results, and then weâll find out how you went, okay.
GIRL: Heâs coming! Mum, heâs coming!
A POSTMAN approaches the GIRL.
CATH: Ian, ready?
IAN: Tapeâs rolling.
POSTMAN: This what youâre waiting for?
GIRL: Sure is.
POSTMAN: Good luck
The POSTMAN goes.
CATH: Right, good, slowly opening.
The GIRL reads her results.
How is it, Kelly?
GIRL: Ummm
CATH: Did what you wanted?
GIRL: No.
CATH: How did you do?
GIRL: Umm⊠pretty bad. Oh no.
CATH: Did you pass?
GIRL: Passed General Studies. Oh no.
CATH: So how do you feel now, Kelly?
GIRL: What am I going to do? Oh no.
CATH: Youâre probably feeling really let down now. How do you think your future will be affected?
GIRL: I have to go inside. I have to tell Mum.
CATH: Just one more question. How do you think your parents will accept this disappointment? Follow us, Ian, keep up. Kelly?
GIRL: Iâm going inside.
She goes.
CATH: âIn my beginning is my endâ: ironic words by T.S. Eliot that many of these...
