EXT. FLAT - DAY
Danny and Jess walk up to the door and Jess rings the doorbell. Danny is holding a balloon saying "It's a boy".
Danny:
Why can't I just use my key?
Jess:
You don't live here any more. It would be an invasion of Matt's privacy.
INT. FLAT - DAY
Matt opens the door. Jess hugs Matt.
Jess:
I'm so happy for you Matt. Where is he?
Matt:
He's through there. He's just woken up from his nap.
Jess walks through to the living room. Danny gives Matt the balloon.
Danny:
The balloon was Jess' idea.
Matt:
Thanks. Why didn't you use your key.
Danny:
I don't live here any more. It would be an invasion of your privacy.
Matt:
Oh yeah. Thanks mate.
Matt and Danny follow Jess into the living room. Jess is stroking Matt's new dog, Charlie.
Jess:
He's gorgeous. What's his name?
Matt:
Charlie. He was abandoned by his last owners.
Jess:
How could anyone abandon him?
Matt:
I don't know.
Jess:
I can't wait for him to meet Toby. Do you still want to walk later?
Matt:
Yeah course. We're forward to it. Well, I am anyway. How's the flat?
Jess:
Yeah good. We've finished decorating the living room. You will have to come round and see it soon. Have you found anyone to rent out Danny's old room yet?
Matt:
No, not yet.
Danny:
You're going to have to find someone soon, I've been gone a month.
Matt:
Yes I know. I'm trying to persuade Ben to move in but he's not sure. I want to find someone I know rather than a stranger. I could end up with anyone. A drug dealer, a murderer, an Arsenal fan, anyone.
Danny:
Good point. I'll have a word with people at work and see if anyones interested.
Matt:
Ok thanks.
Jess:
How did your date go last night?
Matt:
Oh not very good.
Jess:
What happened?
Matt:
It turns out it wasn't a date. She asked me to go out for a drink because I helped her at work. When I turned up she was sitting with her boyfriend.
Jess:
Oh. Never mind, you'll meet someone soon.
Matt:
People have been saying that to me for years.
Jess:
You'll find someone. I believe there is one perfect person out there for everyone. You just have to find her.
Matt:
That's easier said than done. She could be anywhere. She could be living in America or Australia. She could have died in a horrific car accident for all I know and then I'll never meet her.
Danny:
That's it stay positive.
Matt:
My mum and dad are coming to dinner tomorrow. They want to see Charlie. I thought if it went well yesterday I could have invited her. The last girlfriend of mine they met was about 14.
Jess:
What?!
Matt:
I was 14 as well. Sorry, I should have re phrased that.
EXT. THE PARK - DAY
Matt, Danny and jess are walking with Charlie and Toby. Everyone is in a good mood.
Matt:
They seemed to enjoy that didn't they.
Danny:
Yeah. I'm not sure that swan did through.
Matt:
He was ok. Charlie was only playing. I just think the swan took it a bit to seriously.
Jess:
Do you want to get a drink before we go back? We usually get a cup of tea from that food hut.
Matt:
Yeah ok.
They walk towards the food van. Matt treads in some dog poo.
Matt:
Oh great. Right in the middle of a field. Some people don't deserve to have dogs.
Jess:
I know, its disgusting.
The three of them sit at a bench. Matt is wiping his shoe on the grass. Lucy comes out to take their order and steps in the dog poo as well.
Lucy:
Oh great. Just when I thought this day couldn't get any worse.
Matt:
Sorry. I should have warned you, I just did that.
Lucy:
What? You disgusting... There's a toilet right over there!
Matt:
What? No, I don't mean I actually did it. I just meant that I stepped in it as well. Look.
Lucy:
Oh sorry.
Jess:
Matt, this is Lucy. Lucy, this is Matt and his dog Charlie. He got him today from the rescue centre.
Lucy:
Oh he is gorgeous.
Matt:
Thanks. I am having a good hair day.
Lucy:
Yeah. What do you want to drink?
Matt:
Can we get 3 tea's please?
Lucy:
Yes ok. Do you want some water?
Matt:
No thanks, I'm having one of the tea's.
Lucy:
I meant for the dogs.
Matt:
Oh right. Yes please.
Lucy walks back to the van to get the drinks.
Matt:
She seems nice.
Jess:
Yes she is. We always have a good chat with her.
Matt:
Has she got a boyfriend?
Jess:
Yes but they've been arguing a lot recently. I think she wants to split up with him.
Matt:
Brilliant. Could you put in a good word for me?
Jess:
I think it's a bit soon. They haven't even split up yet. I'm not sure if you're suited to each other anyway.
Matt:
What? We got on really well there. I think I made a good first impression.
Danny:
She thought you were the sort of person that would have a poo in a field.
Matt:
That was a classic misunderstanding. We will be laughing about that in the future.
Jess:
I'm not sure you're her type. She likes sporty people.
Matt:
I'm sporty. I was always in to sport at school.
Danny:
I don't think conkers counts as a sport.
Matt:
Not just conkers. I was good at table tennis as well.
Danny:
She likes tough guys. Her boyfriend is a boxer and her last boyfriend was a rugby player. You got a black eye playing swingball with your nan.
Matt:
She had a surprisingly powerful backhand!
Lucy comes back with the drinks.
Jess:
Is everything ok Lucy?
Lucy:
No. I found out yesterday that Tom has been cheating on me.
Jess:
Oh no.
Lucy:
I walked in on them.
Jess:
What are you going to do?
Lucy:
I don't know. I want to move out but I haven't got anywhere else to go. My mum and dad turned my old room in to a gym 3 days after I moved out so I can't even go there.
Matt:
I'm actually looking for a flatmate at the moment. It's just around the corner from here and the rent is very reasonable.
Lucy:
Really?
Matt:
Yes. You can move in today if you want.
Lucy:
Are you sure?
Matt:
Yes. Me and Danny can even help you collect your stuff can't we Danny. Can't we Danny!
Danny:
Yes!
