Scene 10 Flashcards
Cooper: Can you believe there was a time we didn’t have this?
Lennox: And didn’t know each other?
Cooper: No!
Lennox: We did like.
Lennox: We did like.
Lennox: It’s my favourite thing in the world. Just lying here with you two and daydreaming
Cooper: You’ve stolen my thing!
Lennox: You don’t own daydreaming! It’s like, Dyl, what was that thing you said about the robin, when we hung out the first time, do you remember?
Dylan: That you can’t own nature.
Lennox: That was it. Same with daydreaming.
Cooper: And stories.
Dylan: And music.
Lennox: Come to think of it… you said that we just look after it for a while, before someone else gets to enjoy it.
Dylan: There’s nature all around, isn’t there? It belongs to all of us.
Lennox: Like the garden?
Dylan: Well yeah, it belongs to us. You, me and Coop.
Lennox: What if it wasn’t just you, me and Coop.
Cooper: What you on about?
Lennox: Imagine if everyone was here. If your Mum and/
Dylan: /No. No way. She’ll ruin it
Lennox: And your Dad.
Cooper: Wait, are you…?
Lennox: I think we should tell. Everyone.
Cooper: //Everyone?
Dylan: //You what?!
Lennox: We’ve made it so beautiful.
Cooper: It is nice to have somewhere I can just be myself.
Lennox: But what about your Dad? Don’t you want him to have the garden too? And to see who you are here?
Dylan: That’s not fair! What about me?
Lennox: You can’t hide from your Mum forever.
Dylan: Why not? If she’d wanted it, she could have found it herself. But she didn’t. We did. The secret garden. The clue’s in its name!
Lennox: I’m fed up of sneaking around. I don’t like lying, don’t look at me like that Cooper, it’s just…
Dylan: Well?
Lennox: Y’know, everyone thinks I’m so much trouble. But look what we’ve done. This place is magical. Wouldn’t it be nice to show them? What we can do? And doesn’t it make you feel… different… being here? Maybe they could do with that too.
Dylan: We’re arguing again!
Lennox: I think it will change things. It’s magic, isn’t it? There’s something that just, I don’t know, makes you breathe and see things/
Dylan: /like elves/
Lennox: /not quite what I meant. I just think, maybe, if we shared it, if we brought them in here to see what we see, and to see how amazing it is, then maybe everyone would stop shouting at each/ other
Cooper: /and get along.
Lennox: Wouldn’t you like that, Dyl? You could show your Mum what you’ve done. You’re the one who knew what to plant where, how to make it so nice.
Cooper: And I could show Dad. Remind him how things used to be.
Lennox: I think they need this.
Dylan: (quietly) Okay
Lennox: Yeah?
Dylan: Yeah.
Dylan: But if we’re going to do it, we’re going to do it my way.
Lennox: Alright bossy boots!
Dylan: Agreed?
Cooper: Agreed!
Lennox: Fine. But I’m not spitting on it.
