Sound of Nick and Hector imitating motor bike noises
BRIDGET
Stop!
So, you are going back to look for it!
HECTOR and NICK
Yes, ma'am!
BRIDGET
And don't come back until you've found it, OK?
HECTOR & NICK
OK!
BRIDGET
The ticket must be claimed by 10 o'clock tonight.
Now get going!
HECTOR & NICK
Yeah, ... ... ...
BRIDGET
Understood?
HECTOR and NICK
Understood!
ANNIE
Cancer: "Today there is trouble at home."
BRIDGET
Grrrrr!!!
ANNIE
You can say that again!
NICK
OK, Hector. I hope you find the ticket. See you later.
HECTOR
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Where are you going?
NICK
Well, I am going to the traffic lights.
Emily might return. I can't ring her, because her number is on the lost ticket, remember?
HECTOR
Yeah, but what shall I do?
NICK
Look for the ticket, of course.
HECTOR
Yeah, but what shall I say?
NICK
Well, you say..., OK, I am the shopkeeper. You are you.
HECTOR
Great!
NICK
Great.
HECTOR
Good afternoon.
NICK [pretending to be shopkeeper]
Good afternoon.
HECTOR
I have lost my ticket.
NICK[pretending to be shopkeeper]
What sort of ticket?
HECTOR
Oh, my winning Lottery ticket.
NICK [pretending to be shopkeeper]
Oh, your winning..., wait a moment. You can't say, "I have lost my winning Lottery ticket".
HECTOR
Why not?
NICK
Because if they know it is a winning Lottery ticket, they will keep the money, they will hide it.
HECTOR
Oh.
NICK
So you must be someone else.
HECTOR
Who?
NICK
Ha! Someone who can search the rubbish bins.
HECTOR
Search the rubbish bins?
NICK
That's it! A dustman.
HECTOR
Dustman?
NICK
Yeah! A dustman can search the rubbish bins. Ha! Great idea, Nick.
HECTOR
Yeah, great idea, Nick.
NICK
Come on! You need to prepare!
NICK [writing email]
‘What a day!
I met a girl called Emily at the traffic lights - she's crazy about me!
And she gave me her telephone number.
Unfortunately I wrote her number on Bridget's Lottery ticket which Hector lost.’
Emily's number is on the back!
BRIDGET
‘So I told them, "Don't come back until you find it.”
Now get going!
HECTOR and NICK
Yeah-yeah-yeah!!!!
Sound of mobile phone ringing
HECTOR
Hello?
BRIDGET
Hello? Hector?
HECTOR
Hello, Bridget.
BRIDGET
Have you found the ticket?
HECTOR
No, not yet.
BRIDGET
Well, where's Nick?
HECTOR
At the traffic lights.
BRIDGET
What?! At the traffic lights? Well, call me when you've found the ticket! Leo: "Today you will have a big surprise. Your life will be turned upside-down." Hmm!
HECTOR
Right!
ANNIE
Leo: “Today you will have a big surprise.
Your life will be turned upside-down.”
BRIDGET
Ohhh!!!
NICK [whistling and humming]
BRIDGET
Well?
NICK
Well.
ANNIE
Well?
NICK
Well, what?
BRIDGET
Any luck?
NICK
Well, yes and no.
BRIDGET
Yes and no?
NICK
Hmm. The bad news is, I didn't find her.
BRIDGET
Who?
NICK
Emily.
BRIDGET
Emily who?
NICK
Emily, the girl at the traffic lights.
BRIDGET
Oh.
NICK
The good news is...
BRIDGET
Yes?
NICK
I made £50 cleaning windscreens.
BRIDGET
Ahhh! Where's Hector?
Where's my ticket? Oh, look at the time. It's ten to ten!
ANNIE
Ten to ten?
I haven't fed Charlie.
Oh, where is Charlie? I must find him.
NICK
Charlie was asleep on my bed this afternoon.
ANNIE
Oh, thanks Nick.
Oh, there you are, Charlie. Charlie? What's this?
Ohhhh! Ohhhhh!
Bridget! Bridget! I found it! Your ticket!
BRIDGET
What?!
NICK
Where?
ANNIE
On Nick's bed.
NICK
Who?
BRIDGET
On Nick's bed!
Well, give it to me.
NICK
No, give it to me!
BRIDGET
It's my Lottery ticket.
NICK
Emily's number's on the back!
BRIDGET
It's mine!
NICK
Give it to me!
ANNIE
It's OK, it's OK. I'll stick it back together.
BRIDGET and NICK
Grrrrrrrrrr!
ANNIE
Done! Ha! Oh, hi Hector. Oh, poor Hector. I've just found the ticket on Nick's bed. Isn't it exciting?
