about Kirsty Morris. She was admitted this afternoon. I
need to know how she is. Morris, yes. Kirsty Morris.
This afternoon. At two o’clock.............Comfortable? But is
she.....is the baby all right? Yes baby, damn it, baby. She’s having my
baby. Well, tell her it’s Shane. Tell her. Tell her I love he r..a nd the
baby. Tell her I love our baby.

Shane ends the call. He sits on the bench and begins to weep. Eventually he
recovers and leaves slowly.

Harriet continues

You got to be real hard, to cope with all this trouble! Everyone’s’

shit scared! We can’t keep the staff anymore! Some of these
kids, we get in here, would kill you as soon as look at you.

They‘ve got bloody guns now! What happened to civilisation?
What happened to innocence? Why don’t these kids play Hoop-

n-Stick or Marbles in the street, like we did, when I was a kid on

the Estate? No! They all think they’re bleedin’ Rambo! What
happened to innocence? We’ve got no stock.
