Thumping noise/sound of Bridget screaming
ANNIE Oh, hi Hector.
HECTOR Hi Annie.
ANNIE/HECTOR Em, Hector/Annie …
HECTOR Oh, no, you go first.
ANNIE Oh, no, you first.
HECTOR OK. Annie, this wedding …
ANNIE I was going to say “this wedding …”
HECTOR Oh, OK, you say it then.
ANNIE Oh – no – you.
HECTOR OK, let’s write it down.
ANNIE Good idea.
HECTOR Ready?
ANNIE Uhuh.
HECTOR One, two, three, show! ANNIE Oh, yes Hector, let’s wait! This wedding is a nightmare!
HECTOR Yeah!
ANNIE Let’s celebrate not getting married!
HECTOR Yeah!
ANNIE OK, erm, I’m going shopping now, but meet me at Leo’s Café at 5pm.
HECTOR I’ll be there!
Sound of kissing
ANNIE You must tell your mother! Thank goodness she’s thousands of miles away in Argentina!
Sound of telephone ringing
HECTOR Hola, Mamá.
MRS ROMERO Hector, cariño. ¡Vengo a Londres!
ANNIE Make sure you tell her before she leaves.
HECTOR Escucha, Mamá… Annie y yo...
MRS ROMERO Mi avión llega a las cinco a Heathrow. ¡Hasta pronto!
MRS ROMERO Gracias, Antonio.
HECTOR Oh no!!
ANNIE Meet me at Leo’s café at 5pm.
HECTOR Annie – or Mum?
MRS ROMERO Mi avión llega a las cinco a Heathrow.
HECTOR Mum – or Annie?
NICK [Composing email] Bridget is very nice to me, it’s very strange!
BRIDGET Nick, you’re so funny!
NICK [Composing email] Hector thinks she wants to get married too!
NICK Oh-ha!
NICK [Composing email] Mm – anyway, as best man I am organising Hector’s stag night.
NICK The stag night!
HECTOR The what?
NICK [Composing email] We are practising tonight!
NICK We dress up!
HECTOR As what?
NICK Women.
BRIDGET [Composing email] But you know, Nick is very cute.
NICK Ah-uh!
BRIDGET Especially in his fireman’s uniform!
BRIDGET Oh you’re so strong!
Sound of plane landing
Sound of door opening and closing
HECTOR Oh hi Nick, did you have a good day?
NICK Gre-at! I saved London again. Oh, and I was interviewed by Bridget. Man, I thought she was going to ask me to marry her! Ha-ha!
HECTOR Gre-at.
NICK OK, what’s up?
HECTOR My mother is coming to London.
NICK Ooh! Does Annie know?
HECTOR No.
NICK Oops!
HECTOR But we have cancelled the wedding.
NICK Wow! Does your mother know?
HECTOR No.
NICK Whoops!
HECTOR It gets worse. I was supposed to meet both of them this afternoon in different places!
NICK Ha-ha-ha – triple oops! Oh Hector, don’t worry. Women always forget.
HECTOR Hmm.
Sound of telephone ringing
HECTOR Oh.
HECTOR Hola, Mamá.
MRS ROMERO Hector. ¿Dónde estás?
HECTOR Mamá... hay un problema...
MRS ROMERO Oh no importa. Tomaré un taxi.
Sound of telephone ringing
HECTOR Hi Annie.
ANNIE Hector, where are you?
HECTOR Annie, listen!
ANNIE I’m glad we’re not getting married!
NICK Ha-hmm. So they didn’t forget!
Sound of vegetables being chopped
HECTOR Annie please, listen to me!
ANNIE What, or who is more important than me?
BRIDGET Tut-tut-tut. First marriage row!
HECTOR AND ANNIE We are not getting married!
BRIDGET Pardon me!
HECTOR Annie, today was difficult, impossible.
ANNIE I don’t want to know!
HECTOR Annie – it’s my mother!
ANNIE What about your mother?!
Sound of knocking on door
MRS ROMERO Heeere’s mother!! Hector darling! Mw-mw.
HECTOR Hola, Mamá.
MRS ROMERO Oh, speak to me in English. I’ve taken lessons! Where is Annie, where’s my little bride? What a beauty! Hector! You’ve kept her beauty a secret!
HECTOR No, Mamá – this is Bridget. This is Annie.
MRS ROMERO Oh!! Donatella can help you.
HECTOR Annie is the prettiest, sweetiest, kindest girl in the world.
MRS ROMERO Really?
ANNIE Didn’t you tell her the wedding is off?
HECTOR I didn’t get the chance.
ANNIE Well now’s the time.
HECTOR [Clears throat] Mum.
MRS ROMERO Yes.
HECTOR Annie and I have decided to …
ANNIE … Wait a few years before we get married.
HECTOR No nos casamos todavía.
MRS ROMERO No wedding! Oh no!! [Sound of crying] Oh, thank you Bridget. [Sound of crying/nose blowing] Do you have a boyfriend?
BRIDGET I hope so, Mrs Romero.
MRS ROMERO Oh – is he handsome?
BRIDGET Yes, he’s very handsome – and muscular!
MRS ROMERO I love macho men. What’s his name?
BRIDGET Nick – Nick Jessop!
MRS ROMERO Nick?! Hector’s best man!
BRIDGET Yes, that’s him. NICK Time to party!
HECTOR Mama – meet Nick.
BRIDGET So, have you booked Westminster Abbey yet?!
COMMENTARY [v.o.] Next time in EXTRA – Bridget tries to change Nick. Hector’s mother comes to dinner, but why does Annie behave badly? EXTRA – don’t miss it!
