Fade out and back into Honeysuckle is sat behind a desk in an office there is a knock on the door. The door opens and Jayne put her head around the door:
Honeysuckle:
Are you busy right now? May I ask you something please Jayne?
Jayne:
No I�m not busy at the moment come in, close the door behind you and take a seat Honeysuckle.
Honeysuckle:
Thank you.
Honeysuckle comes from out behind his desk and sits on one of the low chairs placed around a coffee table. Jayne sits herself opposite.
Jayne:
Coffee?
Honeysuckle:
No thanks I�ve just had one. I�d like to talk.
Jayne: (Beat.)
Ok lets chat.
Jayne sits back in his seat as Honeysuckle leans forward.
Honeysuckle:
Can I ask, when u r unhappy, what do you do! Who do you turn to ?
Jayne:
Well to be totally truthful I don�t get unhappy why? That at first may sound somewhat callous but I have always prided myself in knowing myself. I go with the theory that you can�t really know anyone else before you know yourself. (Beat.) Why do you ask?
Honeysuckle:
Well��
Jayne:
Go jogging! I find jogging is a good as any release. Yes jogging.
Honeysuckle: (Beat.)
Yes besides that, are there any other suggestions you have? Don�t really see myself as the jogging type!
Jayne:
Considered swimming? (Beat.) Got to be something physical. You know punish yourself somewhat! Yes! (Beat.) Looking at another way the net is good for that it you want to have a good moan to someone. A stranger! Yes a stranger, practically no chance of ever meting them! Excellent! Excellent!
Honeysuckle:
Well I�m not entirely happy with the net, you get all sorts on that! (Beat.) How does one forget unhappiness or stop thinking about it?
Jayne:
All what I have mentioned! Better than a therapist! Certainly cheaper
Honeysuckle:
I see!

Louise: (Beat.)
I was planning to have it cut anyway.

No, its alright I�ll give the Council a ring in the morning.

No it�s ok I�ll ring the Council.

No, no for god�s sake we took your bloody wallet! (Beat.) I didn�t know that she was going to do that!
Stephen:
Notice you didn�t try and stop her though!

How the hell did I know what she was going to do. How could I have known!
Stephen: (Silence.)
So you were going to?
Louise:
Going to what? (Beat.) Give you a blowjob you mean?
Stephen: (Beat.)
Well yes.
Louise:
Sorry I haven�t offered you a drink. I have some whiskey! Whiskey ok?
Stephen:
Yeah whiskey, that will be great thanks.
Louise:
Then we can�
Stephen: (Interruption.)
Sure the kids are ok! They�re quite!
Louise gets up from the sofa.
Louise:
If they weren�t alright we would have heard about it by now. You want water in with your whiskey or coke?
Stephen:
Neither thanks I like it neat.

Ok. I was going to ask if you wanted ice but I don�t have any!
Stephen:
That�s ok I don�t take ice. I like why whiskey neat. (Pause.) Where�s the kids father Louise?
Louise:
Just a minute. (Beat.) Hen�s father Phi l I haven�t seen since he was born and Dave Georgie�s dad he stayed until a few months after Georgie�s birthday.
Stephen:
Sorry to hear that.
Louise: No need to be, we argued like fuck. (Beat.) We�d have only ended up one killing the other!
Stephen:
Oh right.
Louise:
No point in staying with each other just for the kids!
(NOTE NO TIME AND DATE GIVEN.)
Honeysuckle:
Therapy that seem s a good idea. I wonder if there is any chance of sometime off.
Jayne:
What for therapy!
Honeysuckle:
Well yes.
Jayne:
No need, no need you have come to the right person.
Honeysuckle:
I have!
Jayne:
Yes
Honeysuckle:
You can arrange for me to see someone! That�s good I never knew the company could did that.
Jayne:
Officially they don�t. Its a thing between me and you. (Beat.) We�ll do it works time of course. (Beat.) Unless��.
Honeysuckle:
No works time is fine by me thank you!
Jayne: (Beat.)
Yes, yes of course. Shall we make a start now?
Honeysuckle:
Well��
Jayne:
No time like the present! What is it do you argue!
Honeysuckle:
Well yes��
Jayne:
Thought so. (Beat.) Somewhere in the Bible says he who casts the first stone be without sin.
Honeysuckle:
Yes I�ve heard that.
Jayne:
Try another one, this is not from the Bible. Not everyone is perfect, so if your not perfect how can you then criticise someone else. (Beat.) Is that any better
Honeysuckle:
Yeah
Jayne: (Beat.)
Sympathy and empathy, do you know those words? I mean really know these words! (Beat.) Ok a lot of people don�t! Sympathy is to feel sorry for someone or something. Empathy is to understand but you cannot necessarily agree with them
Honeysuckle:
Yeah
Jayne:
That�s good. Feel any better?
Honeysuckle:
Yes! thank you!! You�ve really helpful
Jayne:
Its ok thank you. Anytime! Difficult thing is learning. Very Difficult especially learning from your mistakes. We all make mistakes impossible not too

Yeah
