Yesterday (Version 2)

Here following on from yesterday is Version 2.

This is shorter, and somewhere sparser – I may have a longer version 

of this scene knocking around somewhere as I am sure Rachel 

come into this scene as a one night stand which doesn’t go away but 

anyway enjoy!

(PAUL’S BEDROOM)

(PAUL WALKS ONTO STAGE, THEN TOWARDS THE SINK)

(HE STOPS AT IT. LOOKS DOWN AT IT AND THEN BACK UP

AT THE WINDOW)

(HE IS A GOOD LOOKING MAN PERHAPS IN HIS

LATE 30’S WITH SEVERAL DAYS OF GROWTH ON HIS

FACE. HE IS DRESSED IN HIS CLOTHES WHICH ARE

SCATTERED ALL OVER THE PLACE  WITH A SHIRT

DANGLING OUT AND JUST ONE SOCK ON HIS LEFT FOOT)

Paul:

Oh god

(PAUSE)

I’m getting too old for this

(HE BURPS AND LOOK BACK DOWN AT THE SINK

BEFORE STANDING UP STRAIGHT AND LOOKING AT

THE MIRROR AGAIN)

I am getting way too old for this.

(PAUSE)

That is the last time I do pints with double brandy chasers.

(LOOKS AT HIS SHIRT SLEEVE)

Or eat dodgy Indian takeaways.

(LOOKS BACK AT THE MIRROR)

I am really getting too old for this

(MOBILE RINGS)

Hello

(PAUSE)

Yes, that’s me. Sorry can you

Repeat that again.

(PAUSE)

I did what?

(PAUSE)

Is this a joke?

(PAUSE)

Who is this?

(PAUSE)
