NEWT

(oblivious)
Don’t worry, I’ll dry off quickly enough.

NEWT smiles and jumps backward into the water. The Kelpie erupts: a gigantic,
semi-spectral horse intent on drowning NEWT, who grabs it around the neck
and manages to scramble onto its back as it thrashes.

The Kelpie dives, taking NEWT with it. BUNTY waits, frightened.

WHOOSH—NEWT bursts back out of the water and the Kelpie is bridled. Now
docile, it shakes its mane. BUNTY transfixed by the sight of NEWT in his wet
shirt.
NEWT

Someone needed to let off some steam. Ointment, Bunty?

She hands it over. Still mounted, NEWT applies ointment to a wound on the
Kelpie’s neck.
NEWT

Bite Bunty again and there’ll be trouble, mister.

As he dismounts, there is a crash from overhead. Both he and BUNTY look up.
BUNTY

(scared)
What was that?
NEWT

I don’t know. But I want you to go home now, Bunty.
BUNTY

Shall I call the Ministry?
NEWT

No, I want you to go home. Please.
