Look what you made me do. You’re Wet!
It’s the rain god gave us
The Devil more like.
Watch your mouth Regina. I just wanted to say-
Ssh! You’ll wake the young master.
It’s the middle of the day.
It’s none of your business.
I had a drink or two last night…
…I’m sure…
I’m only human… but I was at work at half past five this morning and I-
I’ve heard it, now go. I can’t stand here having a badinage with you.
Having what?
I don’t want them to see you here, so go.
I’m nae going ‘til I’ve had a talk with you. I’m going to finish up at the Orphanage this afternoon, then I’ll get the ferry back to town.
Well, bon voyage.
They’ll be serving drink, see, when they open the Orphanage tomorrow, so I’m nae gonna be there. No one can say au can’t resist temptation.
Huh!
The pastor’ll be coming from town…
He’s coming today.
… and I don’t want to get in the wrong side of him.
Oh, I see.
What?
You’re up to something.
With the pastor? You out of your mind? He’s been my guardian angel. What I want to say to you is this: I’m catching the ferry later…
What?
I want to to take you home with me.
Never!
Well, we’ll see.
We won’t. You think I’d move to a dump like that? I’ve grown up here in the big house. I’ve been part of Mrs Alving’s family.
Are you standing up to me, you little bitch?
You’ve always said I’ve nothing to do with you.
Oh bollocks to that!
You used to call me a bastard!
I never used that bloody word.
That was the word you used.
Well I’d had a few drinks… and I was getting no end of gyp from your mother “don’t round me! I served the honorable captain Alving for three years! Chiat she’s never bloody forget he’d been made an honorable.
You drove her to her grave.
That’s right blame it all on me.
Oh nothing’s ever your fault, is it? Like your leg.
I’ve told you, I was trying to teach manners to some foreigners.
Your were in a dance hall pig drunk and they threw you down the stairs cause you were fighting. Mother told me. Euch, revolting stump…
What’s that?
I said: Pied de Mouton.
What’s that?
French.
Well a bit of education’ll come in handy.
Handy for what?
I’ve got a new scheme.
It’ll be a disaster.
Sod you, wait and see.
Will you stop SWEARING!
Alright, wheesht, will you. I just wanted to tell you I’ve saved up a bit of money from the Orphanage job.
Well good for you.
I thought of putting it into a sort of club for sailors.
Eucch!
I don’t mean a pigsty for the crew, I mean for officers and that:
And you think I’d-
Help out. Yes. It’d be a bloody doddle.
Oh really?
There have to be women around, see, sailors want a bit of skirt, singing and dancing in the evenings, like.
Don’t you dare touch me
Don’t be a fool to yourself, girl. Madams going to have you looking after the kids wains in the Orphanage. Is that what you want? Skivvying for a load or scum after all that education?
Of course not but something might happen.
What might?
Nothing to do with you. Have you saved a lot?
Enough.
Are you thinking of giving me some?
No, by Christ, I’m not.
You’d never think it giving me something for clothes?
Come to town and you can have all the clothes you want.
I can manage that without you.
You’d need a father’s protection. I’ll get a little house by the port. They won’t be any much of a deposit, and I d be a kind or home from home for seaman-
I don’t want anything to do with you. Now GO!

You’ve turned into a bit of a looker, you know…
So?
So you wouldn’t have to wait so long til an officer, captain maybe…
I don’t want to marry a sailor. They have no savoir-vivre.
No what?
One doesn’t marry sailors.
You don’t have to. That American, you know, the one with the yacht, he paid a fortune and she was nae any better looking than you-
GET OUT!
You wouldn’t dare hit me.
If you talk about mother, I will. Now get out! And don’t slam the door, you’ll wake him, he’s-
Very concerned about young Mr Alving, aren’t we? It’s him you be got your eye on, eh?
Don’t be stupid! No, go down the back stairs, the pastor’s coming…
