46INT. HANNA’S APARTMENT. DAY

HANNA has gone in to put down her things at the kitchen table. MICHAEL follows, desperate.

MICHAEL

I got up - at 4.30 - specially -

it’s the first day of the holidays,

I’d been planning to surprise you -

HANNA

Poor little baby. Got up at four

thirty - and on your holidays too.

MICHAEL

What is this? I was on your tram!

You totally ignored me! What do you

think I was doing? Why the hell do

you think I was there?

MICHAEL has yelled in desperation. HANNA looks him straight in the eye.

HANNA

I haven’t the slightest idea. And

what you do is your business not

mine.

HANNA turns and moves away.

HANNA

And if you wanted to speak to me, I

was in the first carriage. So why

did you sit in the second?

HANNA goes to run a bath.

HANNA

And now, thanks very much, I’ve

been working, I need a bath. Get

out, I’d like to be by myself.

MICHAEL

I didn’t mean to upset you.

HANNA

You don’t have the power to upset

me. You don’t matter enough to

upset me.

She takes off her clothes to get in. As soon as she does, he gets up and goes into the other room. He sits by himself, miserable. He hears her, bathing. Then finally gets up and goes back in. She is still in the bath.

MICHAEL

I don’t know what to say. I’ve

never been with a woman. We’ve been

together four weeks and I can’t

live without you. I can’t. Even the

thought of it kills me.
