LEE
Felix, I am not walking round
smelling of baby sick like some
tramp.
There is a small rucksack lying by a tree. It is covered
in tiny teddy bears and a selection of toddler things have
been stuffed inside. Lee emerges from the trees in a baggy
rock t-shirt with a lacy blue top hanging from her fingers.
FELIX
This is why I keep the bag in the
car.
LEE
How do I look?
FELIX
Fine. Smile.
He takes a thin camera out of the bag, switches it on ad
points it at her. It flashes brightly and beeps too
loudly for the woodland hush. Something flies overhead,
beating it’s wings.
FELIX (CONT'D)
Done.
(LOOKS AT WATCH)

Now let’s get out of here. Back
to the party maybe. Or home.
LEE
I hate it when you do that.
FELIX
Do what?
LEE
Make me feel as though we need to
be at home all the time.
FELIX
Lee, we have a home, a son
together. It’s time to act like
it.
LEE
I got a sitter. I need to just
forget what day it is today.
FELIX
So does your mom.
He puts a hand on her arm and pulls her towards him. Lee
lets him then steps away, her eyes hardening.
LEE
Don’t you dare try the guilt
trip. So I used to party hard.
FELIX
Understatement.
