Act 1

  • Arthur, why are you so angry with him?

...

[edit]
    • But don't blame me if I come back looking too attractive.
  • Her name is Holly, she has the extraordinary last name of Adams, and she does have nice skin. I haven't had a chance to check her nails yet.
    • Call me Holly.
  • Here, let me take your raincoat. You have some tea, I'll hang up your coat, and be back later to be relentlessly amusing.

..

    • It's also quite--brilliant.
  • Disastrous news. I won't be joining you for tea. Duty calls.
    • What duty?
  • Though I'd give dad's old bus a wax and a polish. My rather pathetic but sincere attempt to get back in his good graces. Funny, I used to do that when I was a spotty adolescent. Do hope he's not going try to fob me off with his usual half crown. See you later--oh, and Holly, do try not to scoff all the scones.

    • ...but I am relieved to hear that.
  • The old bus needs filling up. Want to take a spin? If you're really good, I'll buy you an ice cream cone on the heath.
    • I don't like ice cream.
  • I meant her.
    • We can closet ourselves later.
  • Come on then. All aboard the Skylark. Don't worry, I'll have her back before dawn.

[edit]
    • ...all those baked beans and sardines I've had while she was gone.
  • I cooked the dinner Dad.
    • What was it again?
  • We call it lamb Dad.
    • It was marvelous, Simon.
  • Just trying to impress my father with my culinary talents...

12

[edit]
    • ...especially three act plays. Makes the journey seem much faster.
  • You want me to go?

..

    • I knew Aruthr was anxious for oyu to read the new pages but was too shy to ask you.
  • Which means he likes you.
    • Really?
  • I know, hard to tell with my father, but he definitely fancies you. Can't imagine why.
    • He trusts you. Arthur sets great store in loyalty.
  • How was Eastbourne?
    • A little depressing.
  • Why?
    • I got the feeling they were regarding me as one of those ladies in hats and long dresses you see jerkily moving around in old newsreels.
  • Julia thinks she's getting old which, as you can see by looking at her, is ludicrous.
    • Are you expecting anyone?
  • No, I juggled my demanding social calendar and put the evening aside to go over the restaurant blueprints with you. Perhaps dad has forgotten something. Was he wearing trousers when he left?
    • Drove all the way to London and was standing at the cheese counter in the middle of Harrod's food halls before--
  • This lady insisted on seeing you.

[edit]
    • When I'm nervous I natter on like an idiot.
  • Look, this has gone on quite far enough. I think you'd better leave now.

...

    • Listen, no accounting for tastes.
  • I'm going to call the police right now.
    • Well, why would I? I don't read that rubbish?
  • Look, why are we listening to all this. It's absolutely inconceivable that my father could have an affair, much less with someone half his age!
    • We--well we had something in common.
  • What could you possibly have in common?
    • Just never got the knack of it.
  • Julia, do you really want to hear any more of this rubbish?
    • (talking about inns) But it was well worth it.
  • What inns? Where?
    • What are you writing?
  • Names of the inns so we can check your story.

..

    • Well, full circle.
  • Full circle?

..

    • A bit of modeling for art classes.
  • Nude?

..

    • I just don't believe her.
  • I better warn dad about this.

14

[edit]
    • Tell them you're lying.
  • Dad--
    • Say it, say it!
  • Dad, calm down!
    • Well, you're going to be sorry you said that.
  • Alright, you better leave right now or--

16

[edit]
    • And we both know that's not true, don't we?
  • Well, I don't know who that girl is but it looks as if we're dealing with a brilliant criminal mind here.
    • What are you talking about?
  • She mentioned the names of the inns you were supposed to have stayed at. I did some phoning around a man under the name of Frobisher did stay at these places over a three month period.
    • Did you ask for a description of the man.
  • Well no, I didn't.
    • They would've described me.
  • What?
