Is she alone already? You gonna leave her with the baby? The
same way you left me to the cops when we did one over on old
Mr. Wilcox round the corner? How much of his stuff did you
nab?

Shane is taken aback.

Deano Oh, yeah, you didn’t think I’d remember. Because you were far
away by the time the police came. Left me to rot and all.
[beat]
She hasn’t got a clue, has she? What has she let herself in for?

Shane Grow up, mate. That was years ago. We were kids. It was
peanuts.
[beat]
It’s time you got some backbone and started taking stock for
your own actions. instead of blaming everyone else around
you.

Deano Yeah, whatever. I still haven’t seen the takings.

Shane That’s all they are to you, isn’t it? Things you could take.
Stuff you could nab off somebody else. Try nabbing some of
the blame for yourself.

Deano That is all I have ever done for you, and you know it.

Shane Yeah, don’t I know it. Every single time I see you, it’s the only
thing you can say.
[beat]
Why don’t you just bury it for once?
Deano I’ll bury you.

Shane Yeah. And how’re you gonna do that?

Deano steps closer

Deano I’m gonna make sure you get what you deserve, Shane-o.
[beat]
Sleepless nights and nappy changes. You ain’t running away
from this o n e .

Deano begins to back away...

Deano Yeah, that’s what I’m gonna do. I’m gonna make sure you can’t
go nowhere this time Shaney.
[beat]
‘Cause this time, it ain’t just peanuts.

Deano leaves, and Shane is left standing in thought.
