ROSIE: Jason! Jason, what are you doing now?
JASON: I'm going home for a snooze.
ROSIE: Right, no you're not. You're coming with me.
JASON: Where?
ROSIE: Sheffield.
JASON: Why?
ROSIE: I need to go pick up my sister.
JASON: What? Dressed like that?
ROSIE: Jason, this is an emergency.
JASON: Alright, well I can go if you take the sport.
ROSIE: Ugh, that is so vain. Anyway, it's only got two seats.
JASON: Well does your old man know I'm taking his car?
ROSIE: Right, we haven't got time for questions. Anyway, you can talk. That's a wardrobical
nightmare. Right, anyway, come on.
SIAN: Where've you been?
SOPHIE: I rang home. I rang Rosie. She's coming to get us.
SIAN: Sophie!
SOPHIE: I know but we've got nowhere to stay tonight.
SIAN: That's why I'm looking.
SOPHIE: Yeah but Sian, we have got no money. OK? Look Sian, it was going to end sooner
or later. You know that.
SIAN: No I don't.
SOPHIE: Stop being such a mardy.
SIAN: Oh, you've picked up the lingo haven't you?
SOPHIE: Sian!
SIAN: I'm being serious. What? You're just sneaking off behind my back and making decisions
when we're meant to be a couple?
SOPHIE: We are a couple, ok?
SIAN: Your family is going to stand by you. We both know full well, Soph, that mine won't.
SALLY: Kev, are you in? Any word? What's wrong?
KEVIN: This.
SALLY: "Hi dad, had to lend your car. Soz, Lol. Rosie. p.s. it's well urgent." Well,
Rosie can't drive!
KEVIN: One missing, the other killed in a car wreck. Where did we go wrong Sal?
****
ROSIE: Ugh, my dad's been ringing me again.
JASON: Are you sure you know how that thing works?
ROSIE: Of course I do. If I wanted to I could get us from here to say...the pyramids.
JASON: Yeah, well let's just stick to Kay's Cafe, Sheffield eh?
ROSIE: Oh it's losing battery! Come on.
JASON: Well that's not going to help is it? Why don't we just get out and ask someone?
ROSIE: I am not walking around like this.
JASON: Well you should've got dressed properly before you set off.
ROSIE: Well why don't we just keep driving round? I'm sure we're going to come across
it.
JASON: Oh yeah, we'll just drive around until we see it eh? Because petrol is free and Sheffield
is tiny!
ROSIE: Oh this is just dead!
JASON: You know, it's mad isn't it? My brother and your sister?
ROSIE: What about them?
JASON: Well they've both turned out like this.
ROSIE: I think it's really cool.
JASON: Some girls these days, you can't tell. I mean they're always holding hands and stuff
aren't they?
ROSIE: Jason, Sophie and Sian are in love. They've ran away from home because the world
can't accept that.
JASON: Wait a minute. Let me ask this fellow. Excuse me mate! Do you know where Kay's Cafe
is? It's near a bus stop and some trees?
ROSIE: Sophie!
SOPHIE: Oh, she's here!
SIAN: What is she wearing?!
ROSIE: It was an emergency, actually.
SOPHIE: Wait! What's he doing here?
ROSIE: What, about you two? Of course he does. He loves it, don't you Jason?
JASON: Listen, I'm Mr Gay Weatherfield.
SIAN: Is there any need for sarcasm?
JASON: No, seriously. I am.
ROSIE: Yeah, and plus his brother is gay.
SIAN: Is he?
JASON: Yeah, the gayest. Completely gay. Doesn't mean we don't love him though.
ROSIE: Yeah, and anyway Sian, like, being a lesbian is like wearing a badge of honour.
I so wish I was one.
JASON: Why don't you give it a whirl Rosie, eh?
ROSIE: Jason, shut up. Go pay the bill.
JASON: Me?
ROSIE: Yes, you. I mean they've got no money.
JASON: Argh...
SOPHIE: Are they going mad?
ROSIE: Yeah, they're worried sick. They're really confused. But you heard Jason, i mean,
if Eileen Grimshaw can get her head around it then so can mum and dad.
SIAN: Have they spoken to my parents?
ROSIE: I don't think so.
SOPHIE: Look, Sian it'll be fine.
ROSIE: I mean yeah, it will be hard at first, but eventually they will get their head around
it.
SIAN: My dad screams at the telly when a woman has short hair. Well, I want to stay here
because I'm not ready to go just yet.
SOPHIE: Sian, no! Look, we have got to go home.
ROSIE: Come home.
JASON: Well you need to hurry up and decide because I'm parked on single yellows outside.
ROSIE: No, look. Just take all the time that you need.
SALLY: We'll try her again.
****
KEVIN: Everything is falling apart.
SALLY: Phone's not even on now.
KEVIN: Probably broke it. You've seen the way she bashes it against things to try and
make it work.
SALLY: Well she gets that from you.
ROSIE: Get's what from...?
KEVIN: Where the hell have you been?
SALLY: Dressed like that!
ROSIE: Right, it was an emergency.
KEVIN: I hope you've not been driving my car.
ROSIE: Dad, no. I haven't drove your car. Jason Grimshaw drove it. We had to go and
get someone.
SALLY: What? Oh, Sophie!
SOPHIE: Please don't hate me.
SALLY: Where on earth have you been?
KEVIN: How could we ever hate you?
SALLY: Where did you get to?
SIAN: Um, Sheffield.
KEVIN: Sheffield, why?
SOPHIE: We just sort of ended up there.
SIAN: It was nice.
KEVIN: Where did you stay?
SOPHIE: Can we just have a cup of tea and then we'll tell you everything?
SALLY: Since when did you start drinking tea?
JASON: That's Yorkshire for you eh, Kev?
SIAN: We were ok on our own.
SALLY: Oh Sian, but you're still children. But you're back safe and sound. Thank you,
Jason. Thank you so much.
JASON: Nah, it's alright. Rosie got it sorted. I just did as I was told.
ROSIE: Yeah, I suppose you can go back now and get that snooze.
JASON: Yeah. Welcome home, Sophie.
SOPHIE: Thank you.
JASON: Just don't be running off again. That is the last afternoon I want to spend with
your sister.
ROSIE: Good.
KEVIN: Look, I'm not complaining but, he wouldn't have been insured.
ROSIE: Jason Grimshaw is so thick it's untrue.
SALLY: Sophie, promise me you'll never do anything like that ever again.
SOPHIE: I won't.
SALLY: Oh, come here.
SOPHIE: I promise.
SALLY: You go away a child and you come back drinking tea.
SOPHIE: You know them cheesy conditioner adverts? I've seen the light, it smells like home.
SALLY: How about roast potatoes, lamb chops and loads of green veg?
SIAN: Oh, that'd be great. Thank you.
KEVIN: Well sit down, let's get a takeaway.
SALLY: No, I want to get some iron down their necks, Kev.
SIAN: We're fine, Mrs Webster.
SALLY: Luckily. Anything could've happened to you.
SOPHIE: Mum, don't stress. You know what the doctors have said.
SIAN: Yeah, and Soph's been stressing about you stressing.
SALLY: We're a right pair aren't we?
SOPHIE: Mum!
SALLY: You ran away because of me. Because of how you thought I was going to react.
SIAN: No, I pushed her into it. You're like the most reasonablest parent ever, compared
to my dad.
SOPHIE: What?
KEVIN: We phoned him up, while you were in the shower.
SALLY: We had to let him know you were ok.
SOPHIE: Mum, well, ring him back and tell him she's fine and she'll be home tomorrow.
SALLY: Well, don't you think he'll want to see that for himself? Sian, he is your dad.
He'll just want to make sure you're in one piece.
ROSIE: Hiya! Come in Mr. Powers.
KEVIN: Alright, Vinnie?
SALLY: Hi!
VINNIE: Hiya. Look at her, eh? Butter wouldn't melt.
SIAN: Sorry, dad.
VINNIE: What the hell were you playing at?
SOPHIE: We just needed to get away.
VINNIE: Do me a favour. Whose brainwave was it?
SOPHIE: Mine.
SIAN: No, it was mine.
VINNIE: Oh, I'm Spartacus. Thick as thieves you two. Right pair of drama queens.
KEVIN: Well, they're back now. That's the main thing.
VINNIE: You reckon? Her mum has loved this. Reckons it's me she was running away from.
That's done the rounds of all her *** Southport mates. Bad dad Vinnie.
SALLY: Look, why don't you sit down and I'll make us a cup of tea.
VINNIE: No, ta. Go on, go and get your stuff. We needed to get away?
KEVIN: Look, I don't know about you Vin, but I could *** a beer.
VINNIE: Aye.
VINNIE: She's a selfish little cow. Like her mother. I thought you had a bit more about
you Sian. I mean, have you two had a decent explanation? Because I know I haven't.
SALLY: Well it was a bit of an adventure, you know, rights of passage.
VINNIE: You're grounded. 'Til Christmas.
SOPHIE: No!
VINNIE: Any arguments and it'll be Easter. Come on, shift.
SOPHIE: Sian...
VINNIE: Oh, give me strength. Switch off the waterworks and get in the car.
SIAN: I'll tell you why we ran away. We're in love, ok? Me and Sophie are in love.
SOPHIE: With each other. We're in love with each other and we're a couple.
VINNIE: This is down to her. You were in love with that Ryan lad five minutes ago.
SIAN: No, not like I love Sophie.
VINNIE: Shut your stupid mouth!
SOPHIE: Don't you dare speak to her like that!
KEVIN: Look, it's a shock. Me and Sally know what you're going through.
VINNIE: I'm not going through anything, mate. My daughter's no flaming lesbian. Look at
her, she can have any bloke she wants, when she's older. This is all down to born again
loony tunes.
KEVIN: Hey, you're out of line!
SIAN: Dad, we kiss and we hold each other. We're in love.
VINNIE: You grubby cows.
SALLY: Get out of my house! Sian is stopping here. We can accept them for who they are,
even if you can't.
VINNIE: Kids, is what they are. Are you coming or what?
SIAN: No!
KEVIN: Go.
SALLY: I won't have you disrespected like that. Either of you. I'm still not happy about
this girls, but I'm doing my best to accept it. And, Sian you are very welcome to stay
here love, as long as you want. Isn't she Kevin?
KEVIN: Yeah, course you can.
