Kirsty No it’s yours. I told you it’s yours!

Shane It can’t be mine. I’m not ready to be a dad.

Kirsty This thing’ll be here in five months. You’d better get ready,
Shane.

Shane Tell Deano that. Go on.

Kirsty Pregnant at Christmas. What a bloody joke. I don’t think I’m
going to have such an easy ride as you, Mary.

Shane gets up and walks off to one side.

Kirsty Very lucky you were, to have Joseph. He
supported you and the baby even though he knew he wasn’t the
father. Bloody ‘ell ... I can just see Shane’s face if an angel had
come to him in a dream and told him I was pregnant. He even
thinks the scan photo is a fake - says it looks nothing like him!

Shane walks downstage and addresses audience.

Just one time. Just one time, say it was me. Say it was me who did this, me who
made all this happen. Me who put it in her. Me, who will carry it around like the
darling bud of May. Who’s going to hold her hand.

Shane begins to pace around, facing the audience, addressing them.

Shane Say it now, go on. Say I did it. Say I did something. Whatever I did [he
begins to back away].

[beat]

Please. Say it.

Dennis and Kath enter arguing.

Dennis Keep calm, Kath, for god sake! They’ll be OK.

Kath They’ll never get a house. They haven’t got enough points!

Dennis Points! What sort of thing d’you get points for, Kath?

Kath You know about points, you bastard! You’ve spent all your life
scoring points

Dennis Yeh, and what do points make? Points make prizes! You were
a prize Kath, weren’t you? A real beauty you were, twenty years
ago. Not bad now.....just a few wrinkles and saggy tits.
