Act 2 - Scene 4 (Jane's house/2nd breakup) Flashcards
(SFX Knock at the door)
Jane! Jane! We need to talk.
Don’t worry, I’ll get rid of him.
Terry? What are you doing here?
What you should be doing … looking after Jane.
Get out of my way. I want to talk to her.
*enter
Jane, we’ve got to talk. You don’t look well. What’s wrong?
(Angry and upset) Please go, Jack.
At least give me a chance to explain.
Leave it, mate!
This has got nothing to do with you … mate. I just want a moment alone with Jane.
Don’t go anywhere.
Jane…. I love you. I’ve always loved you. Just took my time saying it, that’s all
(After deliberate hesitation) It’s too late, Jack. It’s too late. You been so preoccupied with everything else
You know just how hard I’ve been working - for our future - together.
Is that what you were doing with Kathy that night? Well that certainly clears that up
It wasn’t like that, you know it wasnt
I know what I saw.
I’m always the one in the wrong, aren’t I?
Oh, so it’s my fault now is it? I can’t believe I’m hearing this. I’m not the one who played
around. It wouldn’t be so bad if… just for once… you could admit that you made a
mistake. But, oh no, not you!
It’s not my fault. (*mean smile)
It never is. Just, leave me alone.
We can’t just throw away the past six years. You said we’d always be together.
That was before. Jack please go. You’re only making things worse.
(Shouting) Making things worse? How could they possibly get any worse?
(Calmly) Just listen to me. It’s over. Now, please, just go away.
