ANNIE
What is it?
BRIDGET
My Lottery ticket has disappeared.
ANNIE
What?!
BRIDGET
But the dry cleaning ticket is still there.
Hector has taken the wrong ticket. We'll go to the dry cleaner's.
BRIDGET [writing email]
‘Today was Lottery day and, as usual, I did exactly the same thing to bring me luck.
I brushed my hair 100 times – 99, 100.
I arranged the cushions in my special order.
I did my yoga.’
ANNIE [writing email]
‘Guess what? The good news is, Bridget has won the Lottery.’
BRIDGET and ANNIE
Ahhhhhhhh!
ANNIE
The bad news is, her winning Lottery ticket has disappeared.
Bridget asked Hector to collect her dry cleaning, but Hector took the wrong ticket!
HECTOR
Got it!
ANNIE
Oh dear!
Poor Bridget!
BRIDGET
My Lottery ticket has disappeared.
HECTOR and NICK
Hey …. Hey …. Ay!!!
HECTOR
Hey, Nick, that waitress really likes you.
NICK
Two girls in one day.
Call me Mr. Irresistible, ooh-oh! Hi, girls.
HECTOR
Hi, Bridget. Oops!
Your dress, Bridget. I forgot, sorry. I..., how did you collect the cleaning when I had the ticket?
BRIDGET
No, Hector - darling.
You have the wrong ticket.
HECTOR
I have the wrong ticket?
BRIDGET
You have the wrong ticket.
Now give it to me.
HECTOR
Yes, I have it here, Bridget.
BRIDGET
You have got the ticket, Hector.
HECTOR
Yes, I have got the ticket, Bridget. I have lost the ticket.
BRIDGET
You have lost the ticket, Hector?
HECTOR
I have lost the ticket, Bridget.
NICK
You've lost the ticket, Hector.
You can't have lost the ticket! Emily's number is on the back!
BRIDGET
Oh-wah-wah-ah!!
HECTOR
Are you OK, Bridget?
BRIDGET
The ticket you took from the board was not the dry cleaning ticket.
It was my Lottery ticket.
My winning Lottery ticket.
HECTOR
Oh.
BRIDGET
I am a multimillionaire.
But with no ticket!
And you, you can stop smiling, because this is your fault too!
ANNIE
OK! Nick! Hector! Where have you been?
HECTOR
Well, first we went to the CD shop.
NICK
No, no, no. First we went to Leo's Café. Remember the waitress?
HECTOR
Oh yeah! She was ... ... ...
BRIDGET
Yes, and...?
HECTOR
Then we went to the CD shop.
NICK
Then we went to Cool Man.
HECTOR
And then we went to the motorbike showroom.
NICK
Yeah!
