92 days before – scene 19

David is at home on the phone.

David: No listen, we need to push forward *Pause* I don’t care how much it costs I’m not filming every scene inside a studio. *Pause* Listen just get the scouts out there.

David hangs up. A voice shouts from the kitchen in a raspy voice.

Abi: What was that about?

David: Hugo is worried about scouting locations. He’s afraid we won’t be able to afford multiple real-life sets.

Abi: if you film everything in a studio, everyone will be able to tell.

David: I know that, and you know that, even Hugo knows that but he is so worried about money.

Abi appears in the doorway.

Abi: Any luck with a network?

David: me and Elizabeth are sweetening the deal tomorrow.

Abi: You will get it sorted.

Abi disappears. David begins writing suddenly he can hear coughing coming from the kitchen. He stands up and runs into the kitchen. Abi is bent over the sink coughing profusely David quickly runs her a glass of water.

David: That’s its Abi.

Abi: *Gasping* I’m fine.

David: You are not fine, look at you. This isn’t a cold Abi. I’m booking you in for an appointment and I’m taking you myself.

Abi shakes her head.

Abi: No. You have your meeting tomorrow.

David: It can wait.

Abi: No, it can’t. I will make the appointment just to prove to you that it is just a cold.

David looks unsure.

David: Okay then. Let’s get you into bed, the dishes can wait.
