SCENE 1

Kirstie has her hands pressed to her face and is looking at Cath who is walking around her
and nursing a mug of coffee.

Kirstie - It's funny really. Ironic, maybe. Pregnant at Christmas. Homeless.

Cath - There's nothing funny about this.

Kirstie - I'm just like that Mary chick from the Bible. You know - giving birth on an

estate of animals. Oh, not you. I meant the gangs in the flats.

Cath - No holy orders for you my girl.

Kirstie - I haven't even told Shane yet. An angel tells him he knocked me up'd be a

Kodak moment if there ever was one. How did you find out so fast, Cath?

Cath pours another cup of coffee for them both, puts them on table and sits down beside

her. Shane bursts into the scene.

Cath - Shane. I think you need to listen to this.

Shane - Dennis told me down the park. How did this happen?

Kirstie - I'm not drawing you a bloody diagram. I'm having a kid in six months. We

need somewhere to live, baby stuff and money.

Shane - Kirstie, babies ain't my thing.
