| - Zoot: Happy?! Trudy: (Moaning) No I won’t you mustn’t please you mustn’t no please Salene: She’s bad, isn’t she? Amber: You’d better find Bray Salene: What about the baby? Amber: She’s sleeping. and she’ll be fine with me. Salene: You need anything? Amber: Food and water, my mom. She was brilliant when people were ill. Cloe: Come on, come on, come on, good girl. Lex: Cereal for lunch. This is revolting. I mean, who eats cereal without milk anyway? It’s like eating bird food! Jack: Well, My apologies. Your lord ship! I didn’t have the time to lay on fresh dairy produce. I did have about ten litres of milk. but, it turned into cheese Zandra: Ugh. Salene: Has anyone seen Bray? I can’t find him anywhere! Lex: And we don’t want to. Zandra: How’s Trudy? Salene: Delirious, calling out all sort of strange stuff. Jack: And the fever? Salene: Heavy. she’s soaked through the bedding, it’s dripping wet Lex: Do you mind? it’s hard enough keeping this muck down as it is. Salene: I’ve looked for him everywhere. Lex: Gone for good this time I bet, run of and left us to deal with his mess Salene: Don’t be so mean. if he’s gone outside I’m sure he’s got a good enough reason. Lex: Yeah, like he’s spying for another tribe for instance. Salene: There’s no proof of that, Lex! You're just trying to stir up trouble! Jack: He does keep vanishing without a word. Lex: Exactly. Salene: Don’t listen to him, Jack! he’s trying to brainwash you, you’ve been on Bray’s case ever since you first laid eyes on him! Zandra: And the only reason your defending him is cause you fancy him rotten. Salene: Who? Zandra: Bray of course, you fancy him Salene: No I don’t, I just think it’s unfair to judge someone before having all the facts. Ryan: If my girlfriend was sick I’d stay with her. Lex: That would make her more sick. Zandra: A girl likes a man who’s considerate, Lex. Lex: Is that a fact? Zandra: It is actually. Lex: Face it! Bray couldn’t hack it! when the going got tough he didn’t have the guts to stick around. Salene: Well, I hope you're wrong! Jack: It doesn’t matter either way. if Dal doesn’t get back soon with the antibiotics Zandra: Do you think he will? Lex: No way. he doesn’t stand a chance out there alone. if the Locos don’t get him, another tribe will Patsy: Bob, Bob Amber: It’s alright Trudy. it’ll be alright I promise you it’ll be alright Patsy: Bob, Bob come here sit down there’s a good boy oh sit down stay still you like being groomed Amber: Could you kids please do that somewhere else? Trudy’s trying to sleep and the noise is driving me nuts. Patsy: Sorry Amber, I guess we just weren’t thinking Amber: That’s okay. just go and make Bob beautiful huh? Ryan: Where are we going now? Zandra: Just follow me. I’ve got a surprise for you Amber: Zandra, I need to make Trudy some soup. could you look after her while I’m gone? Zandra: Sorry Amber, but sick people make me feel yuck. I can’t help it sorry Cloe: Come on. this, this is a fridge it keeps things cold. things like food and drink. like milk. like what your mummy makes. one day, you’ll make milk as well. Cloe: (Whispers) Come on! Amber: Come on Trudy, you can beat this! you’ve just got to want to fight it! think of all you have to live for, like your baby. you don’t wanna miss out on watching her grow up. and then there’s Bray. so much to live for. where are you Bray? where are you when she needs you? Salene: Jack! Am I disturbing you? You do that every day, don’t you Jack: Well, you never know when you're gonna strike it lucky, Do you? Salene: You really think someone’s out there tuning in? some adult? Jack: There has to be, the virus can’t have wiped out the whole planet! Salene: I suppose it’s like being stranded on a desert island. putting a message in to a bottle... and sending it out to sea. Jack: Yeah, something like that! Salene: I wanna give the baby a bath. she’s starting to smell. Jack: What are you telling me for? Salene: Because it’s gonna take more than one water ration. and as we’re sort of a group and share everything... I thought I better ask everybody first. Jack: You're not using my share to do that! Salene: Why not?! She needs to be clean! Jack: I need not to die of thirst!! Salene: Don’t be so dramatic! Jack: I’m not! I’m being pragmatic! Well, you go ahead, ask the others. maybe they’ll be dumb enough to give you some of Their's Lex: Woo-hoo! Go Zan! You could have been a model easy! Zandra: I still might be once things get sorted out. What do you think, Ryan? How do I look? Ryan: You look great, Zandra Salene: Hi! Listen, I need to give the baby a bath. it’s dirty. Ryan: And smelly. Salene: We’ve gotta keep it clean or it’ll get a disease! Zandra: That’s the last thing we need. Salene: But I need more than my water ration! Lex: No need to use your ration, Sal. Take it out of mine. Zandra: What? Salene: Really? Zandra: Lex! How wonderful of you, sacrificing yourself for a little baby Lex: Hey, Never say I’m not considerate. Zoot: It’s too dodgy. Bray: I’ll see you later. Cloe: Sshh. Ryan: I don’t get why we’re doing this. Lex: Because I’m a wonderful human being, Ryan. Didn’t you hear it? Ryan: But you don’t even like babies! Lex: It’s politics. Look, I know it’s a big word, but trust me. it don’t do any harm being popular. If I can make myself look like a hero, I will Ryan: So, what are we doing up here again? Lex: To take it out of the tank, Ya idiot! Ryan: The tank? But that’s everybody’s, Lex! Lex: So? Who’s gonna know any difference? Well, Go on! make me a hero. Lex: There you are. Warmed it up for you and everything Salene: Thanks Lex. But where’d you get the water from? Lex: Hey, I didn’t use all my ration. Ryan will tell you. I’ve been days without water. I’m like a camel. Salene: That’s so very kind. I have to admit, I didn’t think you had it in you. I’m a bit surprised. Lex: I’m full of surprises, Salene. So do I get a little kiss for my trouble? Salene: Oh, well. Lex: No matter! I don’t need a reward anyway. Bray: Cloe, Cloe, Cloe! Zandra: Hi. Amber: Have you seen the tin opener? Zandra: No. Amber: Great, that’s marvellous! you turn your back for five minutes and this place is a tip Zandra: Here it is. Amber: Thanks. Zandra: How’s Trudy? Amber: Not good. Zandra: I can’t make Bray out. I mean, does he love her or not? Amber: Trudy? Zandra: I mean, where is he? I thought he was so nice at first, didn’t you? Amber: I didn’t give it a thought. Zandra: You’re a quiet one, aren’t you? I mean you say a lot, but you hide stuff. Amber: I don’t well like that. Zandra: Was Lex right about you fancying him? Amber: Me, fancy Lex? Zandra: No, Bray. You know what I mean. Amber: Zandra, he’s Trudy’s boyfriend for goodness sake! Zandra: Wouldn’t stop me. Amber: Have you seen the little ones? Zandra: Paul and Patsy are playing in the toy shop. But I haven’t seen Cloe all day. Amber: Great! that’s marvellous! Here we are trying to get something together and nobody’s ever here! I mean, they just keep going off and disappearing! what’s the point in that? Zandra: So, you do like him then? Ryan: What do they look like? Lex: Batteries, Ryan. They look like batteries. I know Jack has them hidden somewhere. Lex: That little sneak. Bray: Hello, Chloe. who’s your friend? she have a name? Cloe: Bluebell.
