| DISTANT ECHO Geoff: I don't think we should keep on doing this. Kate: Doing what? Geoff: Doing what you're just doing! Kate: I'm not doing anything. Geoff: What you're saying is: We're not doing anything. Kate: We are not doing anything! Geoff: What we're doing is pretending we don't excist, eachother, we don't excist. Kate: I hadn't noticed I was doing that. I noticed you were doing that but I hadn't noticed I was doing that. Geoff: Oh really? Kate: I handed you retractors yesterday. You said: "retractors". I put retractors in your hand. Now I wouldn't do that for someone who didn't excist, would I?! Geoff: Can we talk about this? Kate: Talk about what? Geoff: You're doing it again! You're heavily into denial. Kate: I am heavily into denial! He says I'm heavily into denial. Allright, allright we'll talk about it. We drive out somewhere where no-one can see us and we talk about it. Geoff walks away and Kate continues filing some medicalreports: Kate: H for Heavily, D for Denial. Kate and Geoff drives out to the bush where they can talk alone Geoff: We have to work with eachother. We can't work with eachother if we're not talking. Kate: I have been thoroughly professional. Geoff: Yes, you have. Kate I find you attractive, you find me attractive! Kate: Tickets on himself...........not bad for a cityboy. Geoff: And that's the problem, isn't it? You think I'm going to end up in the city. Kate: I would last 2 weeks out there, yes. Down there I can't breathe, I can't stretch. Geoff: And out here, the sky is too big. And to be honest I'm not sure I'm ready for a commitment just yet. Kate: Yeah well, after my last one I'm not rushing off to make any more mistakes. Geoff: The last one I couldn't understand! How do you get involved with a creep like Baxter? Kate: What do you know about a man like George Baxter! How dare you judge him. A man who can run a station the size of Baxters is a man, capital MAN. Not some soft cityboy who has everything handed to him on a plate! You wouldn't know anything about George Baxter. It's people like him who are needed in this country! Geoff: Well, if you feel that way about him, why don't you get back on with him? Kate: George, well I wouldn't be seen dead |
