DramaAct II
Scene 1
The POLICE have brought the boys home to IRIS and BOBâs place.
Iris This is the thanks we get for taking you into our home. Alistair! Stop snivelling!
Bob Weâre in the computer now! The whole family in the police computer.
Iris Out all night!
Bob Do you know how lucky you are? You could have been charged.
Iris You could have been killed! âSpecially you, Alistair.
Bob Iâm not having any more trouble from you two. Iâll be locking those doors when we go to work.
Colin That wonât stop me! The Queen will get to my letter one day and then sheâll come round here with a tank and bash the door down!
Bob No she flippinâ wonât!
Colin Yes she bloody will!
Iris Oh! Language! Alistair, up the stairs with you this minute. Talk to him Bob. [She leaves with ALISTAIR.] Never heard such cheek in my life. Use your hanky!
Bob You can forget the Queen Colin, my lad. She hasnât got time for the likes of you and Luke.
Colin Bull! Iâve seen them on the telly visiting sick people and stuff â even lepers.
Bob Well, what good did it ever do a leper to have his hand shook by royalty? Heâs still a leper. They donât leave any of their money behind on his bedside table, do they?
Colin Sheâs got to help me, sheâs got to.
Bob Colin, if the Queen bothered herself with solving other peopleâs problems there would be a queue from Buckingham Palace to our back door. Donât you know why she locks herself in behind those gates?
Colin Of course I do, itâs to keep burglars out.
Bob To keep burglars out, and to keep her from having to bother with the likes of us!
Colin But people can write to her, then she doesnât have to see them and tire herself out, then she can help them
Bob Believe me, she wonât even read your letter.
Colin She will.
Bob Think about it lad, you know she wonât.
Colin Well, whatâs she there for if she doesnât help people? Whatâs all that money and all those cars and houses and armies and stuff for?
Bob Sheâs there crippling us with taxes to keep her in the lap of luxury just so we can point to her and say we got a Queen.
Colin Thatâs not much use to anyone.
Bob You hit the nail on the head there, lad. Nope, if youâve got something needs fixing, take a leaf out of my book and do it yourself.
Colin [thoughtfully] Do it yourselfâŠ
Bob Stand you in good stead if you remember that. Donât see me running to the Queen every time my roof leaks or my car breaks down or I get in the police computer, do you?
Colin Yeh⊠do it yourself!
Bob Only way, lad.
Colin Bugger the Queen, eh?
Bob Yes, well. Um⊠Watch your language around your Auntie Iris eh?
Colin Yea, alright.
Bob Better get yourself a bit of shut-eye then.
Colin Yeh.
They leave.

Colin Tight as a chookâs bum. You even got locks on your windows in your house.
Alistair Yeh, well, canât be too careful.
Colin Hey, what you reckon the best cancer hospital in London woudl be under â H for...
