A1 S2 Flashcards
(Start of scene)
Come on Mo. What is it? What’s the matter?
Maureen: Nothing. I’ve said it’s nothing.
Don’t keep saying nothing. Somthing is. Something must be. Come on Mo, what is it.
(Maureen shakes her head and refuses to answer)
Well, I don’t know. I don’t know what I’m supposed to have said. What am I supposed to have said? Whatever it is I’m supposed to have said, I’m sorry I said it– if I said it.
Maureen: You haven’t said anything. It’s not your fault. It’s everything.
What do you mean everything?
Maureen (To Aggie): No
No, thank you.
(Aggie goes. The pair have barely registered his recital)
What do you mean, everything?
Maureen: It’s just your parents and–
My parents? What about my parents?
Maureen: It’s all become so– important, hasn’t it
How do you mean? You mean to you? Important to you?
Maureen: No. To you
Me? I don’t care. I don’t give a stuff
Maureen: You do give a stuff, that’s the point. You give a huge stuff. I wish you didn’t
I don’t. I do what I like. I always have done. I don’t take any notice of them. I don’t care what they think
Maureen: But you want them to like me, don’t you?
I don’t mind either way
Maureen: You need them to approve–
I really don’t–
Maureen: You do, Adam. You do, you know
I don’t know why you should think that
Maureen: Because you keep going on about it. “Maureen, when you meet them, don’t say this, will you? Don’t say that.”
When did I–
Maureen: “Don’t wear that, will you, they won’t approve of that. Be careful not to wear, will you? Don’t say condoms, pessaries and penis in front of my mother, will you?”
Shhhh
Maureen: I’ve even dyed my bloody hair for her
Oh, come on
Maureen: It’s true
You didn’t dye it for her
Maureen: Who else? Who else did I dye it this bloody boring colour for?
You
Maureen: Me? Why should I do that? I hate it like this. I loathe it. I detest it like this. I can’t bear to look at myself.
Adam: Well, for me then.
Maureen: Do you like it like this?
Well, I… Yes
