92 Days Before- Scene 6

Andrew is sat watching the horse racing. His horse loses and he slams his fist into the bar.

Andrew: God dammit.

Andrew turns around and sits back at the bar.

Barman: Betting much?

Andrew gives him a dirty look.

Andrew: More than I care to mention.

Barman: I saw you on the walker show tonight. Sure, betting is the best thing you should be doing?

Andrew: Didn’t know you were paid to give me advice.

Barman smiles.
Barman: No, I’m here to get drinks for washed up actors. So can I get you one?

Andrew: Cheapest whiskey.

Barman: I will make it a double.

Grace walks into the bar and immediately stands next to Andrew.
Grace: Hey sugar.

Andrew turns around and smiles at her. They share a quick kiss.

Andrew: How was your day?

Grace grabs a stool and sits at the bar.

Grace: Nothing sensational. Just doing auditions for a commercial all day. I swear to god, I don’t know where Hollywood finds kids that can act. London is full of prima donna parents with kids that can only speak as though they are asking a question. God child actors make me sick.

Andrew looks up at her.

Andrew: I started as a kid

Grace: And look where that has gotten you.

Barman comes back over with Andrew’s whiskey. Andrew reaches into his pocket and pulls out a handful of change. Grace looks down as Andrew begins to count it out. Andrew hands the barman the money who walks away.

Grace: Andrew what happened to the money you got for Shakespeare last week?

Andrew grabs the glass and empties it.

Grace: You didn’t did you? On the horses?

Grace grabs hops off the stall.

Grace: I’m going to get something to eat.

Grace storms off Andrew signals for another drink.
