COLLINS&#8217;S HOTEL ROOM &#8212; DAY<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s minuscule, decorated in best British &#8217;70&#8217;s style: cheap wood paneling, ancient wall-mounted phone and pushbutton radio, tiny built-in desk and chair, the skinniest possible double bed: barely room to move. The bathroom is a tiny cubicle. As Harry and Joy ENTER (with difficulty), the room comes as a shock to both. Harry drops the suitcases, resigned, as Joy tosses her bag onto a chair.<\/p>\n<p>JOY<br \/>\nIsn&#8217;t this&#8230; snug!<\/p>\n<p>HARRY<br \/>\nHey, nostalgia. I haven&#8217;t slept in a closet since before my divorce.<\/p>\n<p>Joy tries to get past Harry to the bathroom. It&#8217;s a struggle: they squeeze past each other with difficulty. Now that they&#8217;re in the room, Harry&#8217;s tiredness really catches up with him. He pushes the bags up against the wall and collapses on the bed, eyes closed, while Joy continues examining the room.<\/p>\n<p>JOY<br \/>\nWell, like you say, I&#8217;m going to be out sightseeing most of the time. And it&#8217;s only for a couple weeks&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>HARRY<br \/>\n(sleepy but emphatic)<br \/>\nNo, it&#8217;s not. As soon as we can, we&#8217;ll find someplace else. This is a dump.<\/p>\n<p>JOY<br \/>\nOh, isn&#8217;t that a little harsh, honey? The people downstairs seem nice. &#8230;Honey?<\/p>\n<p>She GLANCES at him. He&#8217;s already ASLEEP: he SNORES.<\/p>\n<p>Joy lets out an affectionate breath, goes to him: quietly gets Harry&#8217;s shoes off, puts a pillow under his head. Briefly she sits down by him with a &#8220;What do I do now?&#8221; ~look.<\/p>\n<p>Her eye falls on her bag: the guidebook she was reading in Immigration has fallen out of it, the picture of Big Ben noticeable on its cover.<\/p>\n<p>JOY<br \/>\nYeah&#8230;<br \/>\n[\/scrippet]<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>[scrippet]She turns back to Harry, reaches around and under him and with a wife&#8217;s expertise gets out his wallet without waking him. From the wallet she removes a wad of sterling, counts some out for herself, then puts Harry&#8217;s wallet back.<\/p>\n<p>Joy gets up and redistributes the money around her various secret pockets (much more Velcro business: she tries to keep the noise down, mostly fails, but Harry doesn&#8217;t notice).  pauses to scribble a note on the bedside table, takes the key and EXITS.<\/p>\n<p>INT. ORMONDE HOTEL RECEPTION &#8212; DAY<\/p>\n<p>Joy comes to the desk. Doris is there, taking care of paperwork. The two smile at each other. This is a &#8220;like at first sight&#8221; situation &#8212; Doris likes Joy&#8217;s enthusiasm, Joy likes Doris&#8217;s &#8220;cozy&#8221; feel.<\/p>\n<p>JOY<br \/>\nMrs. Lewisham, can you call me a cab?<\/p>\n<p>DORIS<br \/>\nWhy, you can get one right outside, dear. Just wave, they&#8217;ll stop for you. Going to do some sightseeing?<\/p>\n<p>JOY<br \/>\nI couldn&#8217;t sleep. Not with Buckingham Palace just down the road!<\/p>\n<p>DORIS<br \/>\nYou know you can go inside, this time of year? They do tours now. Mind you, there are shocking queues, you might want to take something to read &#8212;<br \/>\n(sees the guidebooks)<br \/>\nNo, I see you&#8217;re equipped!<\/p>\n<p>Here George JOINS Doris behind the desk. Joy smiles at him.<\/p>\n<p>JOY<br \/>\nYes. I&#8217;m so glad to be here! The history here, the romance &#8212; it&#8217;s all so exciting!<\/p>\n<p>GEORGE<br \/>\nHave a good time!<\/p>\n<p>JOY<br \/>\nI will!<\/p>\n<p>Joy hurries out the front door. George and Doris watch.<\/p>\n<p>GEORGE<br \/>\nYou shouldn&#8217;t, you know.<\/p>\n<p>DORIS<br \/>\nShouldn&#8217;t what?<\/p>\n<p>GEORGE<br \/>\nGet involved with them. It&#8217;s not wise.<\/p>\n<p>DORIS<br \/>\nI know.<br \/>\n(beat)<br \/>\nI can&#8217;t help it. Sometimes I just have to.<\/p>\n<p>They look at each other. A moment of dull pain. Then George nods sadly, walks away.<\/p>\n<p>GEORGE<br \/>\nI know. So do I.<\/p>\n<p>EXT. LONDON, DAY &#8212; MONTAGE OF SHOTS<\/p>\n<p>Joy&#8217;s day in London.<\/p>\n<p>1) The street outside the hotel. She hails a cab, gets in all excited. It zooms away: we can see Joy talking to the cabbie, a mile a minute.<\/p>\n<p>2) The cab heads up the Mall toward the Victoria Monument in the roundabout-circle outside Buckingham Palace.<\/p>\n<p>3) Outside Buck House. The cabbie lets Joy out: she&#8217;s still talking. The cabbie smiles as she pays him, and drives off. Joy turns with great delight to look at the palace.<\/p>\n<p>4) The Changing of the Guard. Among many other tourists from all over, Joy watches, eyes shining.<\/p>\n<p>5) The gift shop in the Palace Mews. Joy buys souvenirs.<\/p>\n<p>6) A sidewalk in Piccadilly. Burdened with shopping bags, Joy bustles along, looking at everything: it&#8217;s all new and strange, but she&#8217;s delighted.<\/p>\n<p>7) The National Portrait Gallery from outside: Joy goes in.<\/p>\n<p>8) Inside she checks her bags, then wanders among the portraits of the great: finally stands in front of the famous and dramatic Gheeraerts portrait of Elizabeth I, plainly very impressed.<\/p>\n<p>9) Then outside again, in Trafalgar Square, Joy stands among the pigeons, under the benevolent gaze of one of the huge lions. She drops her bags, does a Mary Tyler Moore twirl, happy: pigeons scatter in every direction, their wings CLATTERING as they fly &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>INT. ORMONDE HOTEL ROOM &#8212; LATE AFTERNOON<\/p>\n<p>The door opens and Joy comes back in, puts her bags down. She&#8217;s pooped too, now. Harry is still asleep.<\/p>\n<p>Joy sits on the edge of the bed, turns the TV on low. It goes from a &#8220;Big Brother&#8221; rerun on ITV to a commercial. As this starts, it becomes clear that Joy&#8217;s heard similar commercials before and is sick of them.<\/p>\n<p>COMMERCIAL ANNOUNCER<br \/>\n&#8212; Erickson Computer&#8217;s new PowerTools portable, featuring more power! Less weight! And a lower price than any other comparable machine on the market!<\/p>\n<p>COMMERCIAL ANNOUNCER \/ JOY<br \/>\n(Joy in a &#8220;nyah-nyah&#8221; voice)<br \/>\nCome see why we say, If you need a computer, you need an Erickson!<\/p>\n<p>And on the screen, the same young man we saw in his office and on the airport poster, oozing trustworthiness and charm:<\/p>\n<p>ERICKSON<br \/>\nTell them Mrs. Erickson&#8217;s boy sent you.<\/p>\n<p>JOY<br \/>\nYeah, right. Cheapskate.<\/p>\n<p>Joy kicks her shoes off and pushes herself up the bed, trying to get comfortable &#8212; jams a pillow up against the headboard, looks at her husband. A mixed expression, tender but sad. She takes one of his hands, interlaces their fingers, leans back against the pillow: drops off to sleep almost instantly.<\/p>\n<p>INT. ORMONDE HOTEL ROOM &#8212; NIGHT<\/p>\n<p>Joy and Harry are still asleep. The TV shows a lame car-wax infomercial involving a bizarrely-sweatered host setting a car&#8217;s hood on fire. A HAND reaches INTO SHOT and turns the TV down, then off.<\/p>\n<p>George stands by the TV, straightening up from shutting it off. A wistful look on his face as he looks at the two sleepers, then moves OUT OF SHOT. We don&#8217;t see how he came in, or how he leaves. No sound of a door being used, though&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>From outside the window comes some TRAFFIC NOISE. Through the window a van can be seen driving slowly past the hotel. The van says ERICKSON SCANNING LTD., and shows the Erickson Computers star-and-circle logo. The van has a scanning antenna on the top like those on UK TV license vans. It pauses, the antenna moving: then passes on.<\/p>\n<p>INT. ORMONDE HOTEL BREAKFAST ROOM &#8212; MORNING<\/p>\n<p>A poky little breakfast room, middle-class &#8217;50&#8217;s decoration again. Along with Harry and Joy, maybe ten other GUESTS are seated here, picking at their food: no one seems to eat much. Some guests wear clothes and hairstyles that are out of date in a way that&#8217;s hard to pin down. Among them, at a table near Harry and Joy&#8217;s, is Gunter, the young German man who was in the lobby earlier.<\/p>\n<p>Joy EATS: Harry sporadically TRIES to. A newspaper is folded on the table beside him.<\/p>\n<p>HARRY<br \/>\nThis is no place to wake up in at five in the morning. No room service, nothing. I&#8217;m starving.<\/p>\n<p>JOY<br \/>\nSo eat your breakfast!<\/p>\n<p>HARRY<br \/>\n(sotto)<br \/>\nI refuse to eat any breakfast that originally had &#8220;Goodyear&#8221; stamped on it. This bacon should have treads.<\/p>\n<p>JOY<br \/>\nSo have some toast.<\/p>\n<p>HARRY<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s cold. Never mind&#8230; I&#8217;ll have something at the show when I get there.<br \/>\n(beat)<br \/>\nSo what else did you do yesterday besides shop? Did you see the Queen?<\/p>\n<p>JOY<br \/>\nNot the live one.<\/p>\n<p>At the next table Gunter reacts slightly to this.<\/p>\n<p>JOY<br \/>\nBut I don&#8217;t care. Everything&#8217;s so wonderful and old.<\/p>\n<p>HARRY<br \/>\nOh, come on, Joy. America is old. We just got there late.<\/p>\n<p>Harry picks up the paper, starts reading: George comes by.<\/p>\n<p>JOY<br \/>\nOh, good morning, Mr. Lewisham!<\/p>\n<p>GEORGE<br \/>\nMrs. Collins! Mr. Collins. Good morning! Can I get you anything?<\/p>\n<p>HARRY<br \/>\n(sotto: into the paper)<br \/>\nFood we can chew would be nice.<\/p>\n<p>Joy KICKS him under the table.<\/p>\n<p>JOY<br \/>\nI&#8217;d love some more tea.<\/p>\n<p>GEORGE<br \/>\nComing right up.<\/p>\n<p>He goes off, comes back with the pot, pours for her. Harry opens his paper to the sports pages; a picture of a horse is visible.<\/p>\n<p>GEORGE<br \/>\nAh, the gee-gees. Do you ever have a flutter, Mrs. Collins?<\/p>\n<p>JOY<br \/>\nCall me Joy. A what?<\/p>\n<p>GEORGE<br \/>\nA little bet on the horses.<\/p>\n<p>JOY<br \/>\nI never tried.<\/p>\n<p>HARRY<br \/>\nI do, sometimes.<\/p>\n<p>GEORGE<br \/>\nI have a hot tip for Epsom this afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>JOY<br \/>\nThe salts?<\/p>\n<p>HARRY<br \/>\n(interested)<br \/>\nThe race course.<\/p>\n<p>GEORGE<br \/>\nBumper Crop in the two-fifteen. By a nose.<\/p>\n<p>HARRY<br \/>\nInside information, huh?<\/p>\n<p>GEORGE<br \/>\nI know a jockey.<\/p>\n<p>HARRY<br \/>\nHey, thanks.<\/p>\n<p>George goes off.<\/p>\n<p>JOY<br \/>\nIsn&#8217;t that nice of him!<\/p>\n<p>HARRY<br \/>\nIf it&#8217;s a good tip, yeah. We&#8217;ll see. So what are your plans today?<\/p>\n<p>JOY<br \/>\nI was thinking about going to Harrods.<\/p>\n<p>HARRY<br \/>\nSounds good. Listen, I&#8217;d better get a move on. Show opens in an hour.<\/p>\n<p>He gets up.<\/p>\n<p>HARRY<br \/>\nYou&#8217;ve got the mobile number. Text me if anything comes up.<\/p>\n<p>JOY<br \/>\nWhen will you be done today?<\/p>\n<p>HARRY<br \/>\nEight, nine maybe. I&#8217;ll call you&#8230; we can go out somewhere for dinner.<\/p>\n<p>He smooches her hurriedly and heads out. Joy looks after him a little sadly.<\/p>\n<p>GUNTER<br \/>\nExcuse me &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>She looks over to where Gunter&#8217;s finishing his breakfast.<\/p>\n<p>GUNTER<br \/>\nMrs. &#8212; Collins? I know this city well, and have no plans today. If you did not object, I would be glad to show you some places.<\/p>\n<p>JOY<br \/>\n(brief indecision, then:)<br \/>\nYes, thank you, I&#8217;d like that &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>GUNTER<br \/>\nGunter. Gunter Meyring.<\/p>\n<p>She holds out a hand. He doesn&#8217;t take it, gives her that slight bow. She takes her hand back, slightly bemused.<\/p>\n<p>GUNTER<br \/>\nAs long as your husband would not object &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>JOY<br \/>\n(smiling, a slight edge)<br \/>\nHe&#8217;s not here to object, is he?<br \/>\n[\/scrippet]<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dianeduane.com\/outofambit\/2011\/04\/07\/scriptfrenzy-2011-dead-and-breakfast-pages-18-25\/\" target=\"_blank\">(to pages 18-25)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; (back to pages 7-11) [scrippet]INT.
