Hattie: 'I hate flying'
Clare: 'Same here it always makes me groggy'
Fran: 'Fucking jet lag'
Connie: 'Who wants coffee? '
All of them: 'Please'
THEY ALL LAUGH
CONNIE GETS UP, WALKS TO THE KITCHEN AND STARTS MAKING THE COFFEE, SHE HAD ONLY BEEN 5 MINUTES WHEN SHE WALKED BACK IN TO FIND THEM ALL ASLEEP.
Connie: 'Great what a waste of coffee... Oh well'
CONNIE PICKS UP HER COFFEE AND WALKS OUT ON TO THE BALCONY, SHE SLOWLY SLIDES DOWN THE WALL LOOKING UP TO THE SKY, SHE TAKES A SIP OF HER COFFEE AND RUBS HER SIDE, IT STILL HURT THE PAIN KILLERS WERE STARTING TO WEAR OFF
Connie: 'Owe... Jesus Christ'
SHE LOOKS OUT INTO THE CITY OF LONDON AND SMILES, ALTHOUGH SHE WASN'T EXACTLY HOME IT JUST FELT GOOD TO BE BACK IN ENGLAND.
Connie: 'I wonder'
CONNIE WONDERED WHAT MIKE COULD BE DOING, SHE HADN'T THOUGHT ABOUT HIM SINCE SHE LEFT THE HOSPITAL AND THEN REALISED THAT SHE HADN'T READ THE NOTE HE HAD LEFT HER, SHE TAKES IT OUT OF HER POCKET AND READS IT
Connie: 'To Connie... I'm sorry that I wasn't able to stay but I had to fly back to California... I hope you feel better soon... I still can't believe that guy did that to you... It shocks me the things that people do... Well I'm sure I'll see you again... If you're ever in California give me a call... Sam will give you my number... Cya Mike'
CONNIE PUTS THE NOTE DOWN AND TAKES ANOTHER SIP OF HER COFFEE
Connie: 'Simple enough'
CONNIE YAWNS BEFORE STANDING UP, SHE FINISHES HER COFFEE AND WALKS TOWARDS HER BEDROOM.
INT: Mike's house, California, 7. 30pm
MIKE WALKS INTO HIS HOUSE DROPPING HIS STUFF AT THE END OF THE STAIRS, WALKS INTO THE KITCHEN AND TURNS ON THE COFFEE MAKER.
Mike: 'Do I have any mail? '
HE WALKS OUT OF THE KITCHEN INTO HIS OFFICE SEEING ABOUT 20 LETTERS.
Mike: 'What the hell I've only been gone for 3 days... Oh fuck it... I'll check them tomorrow'
HE WALKS BACK INTO THE KITCHEN AND POURS HIMSELF A CUP OF COFFEE, HE WALKS INTO THE LIVING ROOM TURNS THE T. V ON AND LIES BACK ON THE COUCH, HE STARES UP AT THE CEILING AND FINDS HIMSELF THINKING ABOUT CONNIE AND WHETHER SHE'S OK.
Mike: 'Hmmm... I wonder what's she doing? '
HE LOOKS OVER AT THE MANTLE AT THE CLOCK AND FIGURES OUT THE TIME IN THE U. K
Mike: 'She's probably sleeping'
HE SITS UP LOOKING AT THE T. V FLICKING THROUGH CHANNELS
Mike: 'Boring... Shit... Crap... Bullshit... Yuck... Oh is that... No it's not.... Shit... Oh guilty pleasure the O. C. '
MIKE LEANS BACK ON THE COUCH AND WATCHES THE O. C.

THEY BOTH LAUGH
Mike: 'Ummm... The woman of my dreams'
Person: 'I doubt that'
Mike: 'Well let me see you then'
Person: 'You have one more guess'
MIKE THOUGHT FOR A MOMENT AND REMEMBERED THE VOICE

Mike: 'You look incredible... How have you been? '
Connie: 'Thank you... I'm good... You? '
Mike: 'Good'
Connie: 'So what you doing here? '
Mike: 'Tre... He wanted to come... The girl he likes... Jess I think her name is... Is here'
Connie: 'Would that be Jess Ford by any chance? '
Mike: 'I think so... Why? '
Connie: 'Well... He's in for a major shock... She's a lesbian'
MIKE STARTS TO LAUGH
Mike: 'Really? '
Connie: 'Yep'
Mike: 'I can't wait to see his face when he finds out... So what have you been up to? '
Connie: 'Recovering for one... Working... The usual really... You? '
Mike: 'Working on some new material with the guys... Didn't you direct The Killer's video Mr. Brightside? '
Connie: 'Yeah... It was a simple video... Not my best but still fun to shoot'
Mike: 'I liked it'
Connie: 'Thanks... Your drinks there by the way'
Mike: 'Oh... Do you want one? '
Connie: 'Already got one'
POINTING TO THE MARTINI IN HER HAND
Mike: 'Oh sorry didn't see it... So how come you're at this party? '
Connie: 'I was invited... I always get invited to these things... I know too many people'
Mike: 'Really... Then who's that over there by the Vicus tree? '
Connie: 'That would be Sheryl Mitchell... Manager of investments... Why? '
Mike: 'Well... I think someone should tell her that someone earlier wiped mustard on her'
CONNIE BURSTS OUT LAUGHING
Connie: 'Hold on'

SHERYL EXCUSES HERSELF FROM THE GROUP SHE WAS WITH AND GOES INTO THE TOILETS

Mike: 'I was kidding'
Connie: 'Yeah... Well she did deserve to know'
TRE WALKS OVER LOOKING EXTREMELY PISSED OFF
Mike: 'Let me guess... She's taken'
Tre: 'Worse she's a lesbian... Why is it that I am always attracted to unavailable women? '
Mike: 'That's not true'
Tre: 'Lately it has been'
TRE SUDDENLY SEES CONNIE AND LOOKS HER UP AND DOWN

Tre: 'Wo Mike... You can pick'em'
Connie: 'Why thank you'
Mike: 'Tre here take this drink and go mingle and stop embarrassing yourself'
Tre: 'No I like it here'
Connie: 'Mike... I think he likes you'
WITH THAT TRE STARTS STROKING MIKE'S ARM
Mike: 'Ok... I remember the last time you did that... And you were being serious'
THEY ALL BURST OUT LAUGHING
Tre: 'Oh yeah... Didn't I... '
Connie: 'I don't want to know... Please stop! '
THEY LAUGH AGAIN
Mike: 'What... We were experimenting... We were in the middle of touring... And it got lonely'
Connie: 'Over share... But one question... Who was on top? '
Tre: 'Now that's getting personal'
THEY ALL LAUGH AGAIN WITH MIKE ALMOST FALLING OFF HIS CHAIR.
TRE LOOKS BEHIND CONNIE SEEING A RATHER ATTRACTIVE BRUNETTE
Tre: 'Ok... I will be leaving'
CONNIE TURNS ROUND AND SEES THE BRUNETTE
Connie: 'He rebounds quickly'
