92 Days Before – Scene 8

Andrew is stumbling home. Singing quietly to himself. He stumbles into a group of lads. Who all look angry.

Andrew: Sorry.

Lad 1: You will be.

Andrew puts his hand up and walks away from them.

Lad 1: Freak.

Andrew turns around.

Andrew: I’m sorry?

Lad 1: I called you a freak mate. Deaf as well are you?

Lad 2: Leave him, he’s half cut.

Lad 3: got any money mate?

Andrew: You need to learn some manners.

Lad 1 takes a step towards Andrew.

Lad 1: Respects earnt, not guaranteed. You don’t look like you even have a pound to your name.

Lad 3: Not worth our time then.

Lad 2: Seriously leave him be.

Lad 1 nods.
Lad 1: not worth it mate.

Andrew: Pussy.

Lad 1 faces Andrew off.

Lad 1: What did you say?

Andrew swings a punch that catches Lad 1 sweetly knocking him over. Lad 3 goes to rush in, but Andrew reaches down grabs a bottle and throws it at Lad 3. Suddenly Andrew stops. Blue lights flash up from a car nearby and two officers step out.

Officer 1: What’s going on?

Lad 2: This guys pissed up officers. Started over nothing.

Officer 1 helps Lad 1 off the ground and takes the other three away. Officer 2 stands beside Andrew.

Andrew: You tell them to run.

Officer 2: Sir we just witnessed you assault this individual.

Andrew: They deserved it.

Officer 1: This guy’s got a concussion, I’m going to call for an ambulance.

Officer 2 smiles.

Officer 2: You looked good on the Walker show today. It’s a shame you didn’t stay there.

Andrew pushes officer 2.

Andrew: Oh, piss off.

Officer 2 spins Andrew around and pins him up against the wall.

Officer 2: Right that’s it. You are under arrest.
