JAMIE
               Quiet.


               ASHLEE
               Too quiet.  Maybe something's happened.


               JAMIE
                Nothing happens round  here.  It's like saying maybe Elton John got married.


               ASHLEE

                But he did...  kinda.


               They push their way through an OVERGROWN  HEDGE edging the square where they parked
               the car, their feet CRUNCHING the gravel  underfoot, and stand  back a few steps to survey
               the damage.  There  is a dent in the front passenger door and the  nose has been crushed  in
               on itself.


               ASHLEE (CONT'D)
               Okay to drive  last night?  Uh-huh.



               JAMIE
                It's only a scratch.


               ASHLEE
               The post didn't seem to think that.


               JAMIE
               Stop being so paranoid.  Too drunk to drive last night... too hungover to drive this morning.
               Jesus Ash,  is there any time you think I can drive?



               She is about to reply to this but closes her mouth when her attention is drawn away by a
                movement back by the building.  She taps Jamie on his side to get his attention.


               JAMIE
                Be patient !  I'm gonna take you to the  hospital  in a  minute.  Get you  patched  up.


                He finally gives to her pestering and follows her line of sight.  The old  man  is approaching.
                He makes NO SOUND on the car park.
