Shane leaves and Dennis enters with Deano

Dennis Still mooning over that little girl Deano. Fancy her myself.

Deano You fancy everything in a skirt, you lustful bastard. I just feel
sorry for her.

Dennis Sorry’s not what I’m feeling. Don’t know what he’s got - I aint. I
hate every look she gives him with those gypsy eyes of hers.
Got a picture of a gypsy on our wall. My dad says it looks like

Leastways he pays for it.

Deano You know he’s one of the B13 Posse?

Dennis That makes it even sweeter. Dangerous liaisons yeah?

Deano Her folks have kicked her out. She’s staying temporary at his

push came to shove.

Deano Why would she leave in a hurry?

Dennis Well, the landlord could find out. Know what I mean?

Deano That’s worse than grassing your own.

Dennis I don’t give a stuff about Shane. He wears cheap shit trainers,
and supermarket cheap shit jeans - shag his mother given half
the chance - give her one. Yeah, just one phone call should do
it. You coming?

Deano I’m going home. Don’t feel so good.

They leave in opposite directions. There is the sound of an ambulance siren in
the background.
Shane enters with a mobile phone clamped to his ear. He flicks his lighter with
his other hand, trying to light the cigarette in his mouth.

Shane Answer, damn it. Answer. Shit! (finally he gives up and
throws both cigarette and lighter away.) I’m phoning
