INT. HOUSE - SITTING ROOM

Twimii, Ted, Rabbit, Barbara and Cow are all sat around the jukebox, either on chairs or on the floor. They each have a small empty glass. The bottle of whiskey and brandy are open.

Whigfield’s Saturday Night is playing.

BARBARA

It’s ’96. I know it is!

RABBIT

It’s not. - Pick your poison.

BARBARA

I know for a fact it’s ’96.

TED

It’s ’95. - But if you can do the dance you’ll gain control of the dial.

COW

Ooh!

RABBIT

Hang on does anyone here actually know the dance?

TWIMII

I do.

RABBIT

Shut up Twimii.

The doorbell rings.

Rabbit turns down the volume on the music player. Barbara gets up to answer the door.

BARBARA

It’s probably Danny.

She stops a moment and looks at the state she’s in.

BARBARA

(half laughing)

He’ll probably think you beat me up or something.

She leaves and closes the door behind her.

COW

(whispering)

Why would he think that?

As Twimii is talking there is the sound of the door opening and some indistinguishable talking followed by some loud laughing.

TWIMII

Dunno. From the way he was talking yesterday it seems more likely he’ll think we sexually assaulted her.

RABBIT

Why would you even say that!?!

Sound of the front door closing.

Barbara comes back into the sitting room followed by Greg and Tammy who have a bag full of items, including some bottles of drink.

BARBARA

This is Greg and Tammy?

Greg and Tammy smile delightedly at Ted and then they see Rabbit and Cow, and for a moment are a little surprised by how seamless they look. Greg and Tammy have Dublin accents.

GREG

Those are some costumes.

RABBIT

Thanks. - I’m Rabbit. This is Ted. Cow. And that’s Twimii.

They look at Twimii.

TAMMY

Oh and you’re a doll!

Tammy and Greg start laughing again.

TWIMII

No.

BARBARA

(laughing)

Yes.

GREG

(to Barbara)

And you’re the patient from operation!

Barbara stops laughing.

GREG

I’m only kidding. - She told us about going into the fog.

There’s an awkward silence for a brief moment.

GREG

So - have you lived here long?

RABBIT

We just came here yesterday.

GREG

Are you serious? … Where are you from?

TWIMII

Dublin.

GREG

You were in Dublin yesterday?

TWIMII

We got out early.

TAMMY

You were lucky.

TED

Yeah.

Silence descends again.

Strike’s U Sure Do starts playing. Cow gently tugs on Tammy’s arm.

COW

Guess the year.

Tammy is puzzled.

COW

What year did the song come out?

TAMMY

Um … 92?

Cow shakes her head.

COW

Brandy or whiskey?

Barbara moves over to the sofa and sits down by Rabbit.

TAMMY

Brandy?

Cow pours her a brandy. Tammy takes it and sits on the floor. Greg sits down also.

COW

(to Greg)

Your go.

GREG

I’ll have a brandy too.

RABBIT

You have to guess the year Greg.

GREG

99?

Cow pours him a brandy. Twimii gets up.

TWIMII

I’m going to get a cuppa. Does anyone want one?

TED

Yeah, I’ll have one.

RABBIT

Ah come off it…

TWIMII

Relax I’ll still play the guessing the year bit.

She leaves. Rabbit turns the dial and Enter Sandman by Metallica starts playing.

INT. KITCHEN, LATER

Twimii is standing in front of the window, peering out into the darkness. She’s holding two used empty cups of tea.

Ted walks into the kitchen.

TED

Is there something out there?

She doesn’t respond. He walks up behind her, looking out also.

TWIMII

No.

She leaves the cups in the sink. She looks at the car keys left on the counter from earlier.

TWIMII

Should we get out of here?

She turns to Ted. He shrugs.

She goes over the fridge, opens it and stares in at the contents for a moment. She shuts it again, not taking anything and leaves the kitchen.

INT. HOUSE - HALL

Tammy is coming out of the sitting room as Twimii walks up the hall. Tammy is quite tipsy.

TAMMY

Where’s the toilets?

TWIMII

There’s one under the stairs there and there’s one upstairs.

Tammy gives her a drunken hug before heading off to the downstairs toilet.
