Page 158 - Student: dazed And Confused

Dennis - Makes you one of us now. You know that kids are easy street. Bumped up
the housing register, benefits, all that.

Shane - Uh-huh. Housin' feller says we got no chance, not even a bedsit.

Dennis - All them foreigners on our patch. We have to protect what's ours yeah.

Cath is lingering behind the boys. She is pacing back and forth

Cath - Oh, what am I meant to do? I'm sorry and everything but I can't let them

stay with me. I was a teen mum myself so I know it's hard but they did this.

And yes, i want to keep my son out of this mess but what can I do? He's not a
kid any more.

She faces out of the scene again and we return to see Shane sitting on a wall and swinging

his legs. Dennis grins.

Shane - What's funny?

Dennis - Just thinking. What if she's not even pregnant. It could be just a ploy to get
herself sorted out.

Shane - Kirst wouldn't do that to me. She's too posh, doesn't know how to lie

probably

Dennis - Never know. They say you gotta watch the quiet ones.

SCENE 4

Kirstie is wandering around a high street with Cath and both have a couple of bags in their

hands. Kirstie is looking around her and above her.
