Part 5 - Facing The Facts

JULIAN

That I only last three minutes!!

TEENAGER

I had that same problem, when I was like thirteen.

JULIAN

Get outta here!, aint you got some shop to rob? go on get outta here. The teenager rides off laughing I hope your little prick falls off.

GERALD

Its ok we’ve all had those problems now and again, it’s a part of life man

JULIAN

Yeah it’s true; I mean she doesn’t even count the foreplay or anything

GERALD

Right, right coz that plays a major part in you know, getting their cycles going and then you’ve got like 3mins to 2 hours of just taking the ball to the goal

JULIAN

Yeah, argh bollocks lets be real, 3 minutes is nothing! To make things worse she said it on radio!

GERALD

Whoa! Now that’s cold, you need to handle that. That’s not right! That’s like your dignity and your pride gone

JULIAN

Exactly

GERALD

She said it on radio?

JULIAN

Yep

GERALD

What station?

JULIAN

I dunno, some morning show with “Mark and Tony”

GERALD

What!?

JULIAN

What?

GERALD

Wow….sorry

JULIAN

That bad?

GERALD

That’s like a million listeners….in Southampton alone.

JULIAN

Bitch!

GERALD

Alright calm down it’s not the end of the world, they don’t know her face or yours, lets just hope they don’t give a surname.

Julian receives a text on his phone. He holds the phone and reads the message while trying to keep his eye on the road.

JULIAN

Everyone’s a bloody comedian!!!

Gerald takes the phone from Julian’s hand and reads the text

GERALD

Let me see this, Hmmm, what’s the difference between one round of boxing and a session with your misses?...nothing Gerald chuckles then gains composure See that there wasn’t funny, not at all, I don’t know why I laughed… you know me I laugh at everything. I’ll laugh at people with aids; Haha there goes that sick person. Philadelphia? Absolutely hilarious

JULIAN

Just, just don’t Gerald

Back at the house Jane is curled up on the couch crying. She looks at her ring which is placed upright on the floor and shakes her head. After taking a deep breath she wipes her tears and goes through her mobile and makes a call.

JANE
Hey, erm deep breath looks like me and Jules are over. The kids are at my aunt’s so I could really use some company right now….ok….bye
