SCENE 11 OPENING LINES
Lennox: Did it have to be at night-time?
Dylan: They will (looks at her watch). Oh sugar. Maybe this was a bad idea, maybe we/ should
Lennox: /Don’t get cold feet now
Dylan: I should be at band practice. That’s how I know Mam will be looking for me. But maybe I should have/ told
Lennox: /Too late!
Cooper: Can I tell you something?
Lennox: Of course! Is it a story?
Cooper: He kissed me on the head. I don’t think he’s ever done that before.
Lennox: Never?
Cooper: It was about this time, I think. So he might come in again, and realise I’m gone too.
Lennox: Well, no one ever comes to check on me
Cooper: Besides, they’ll realise how quiet it is
Dylan: How peaceful
Lennox: Oi! How are they going to find us anyway? Given that no-one’s been here for years
Martha: /Are you okay? Is/ everything okay?
Lennox: //She’s fine
Dylan: Magic?
Cooper: Mum?
Lennox: Us!
Martha: Angry? No, I’m just, I can’t believe it looks like this, can’t believe we’re all here. I’m not angry, I’m just, I don’t know, it’s just you, and being here, and all the memories I’ve… and everyone, and
Lennox: Is it like lots of emotions bubbling up inside?
Martha: You know, I can’t remember the last time I heard you laugh
Lennox: Cooper?
Beth: /But I didn’t know how to, what to say. I should have had all the answers and I didn’t
Lennox: That’s stupid -. Sorry
Cooper: No-one can know all of the answers to everything Dad.
Lennox: Your head would explode.
Cooper: But you can be, now. Can’t you? We can work out the answers, together, learn together. I’m already working stuff out. I’ve made friends, proper friends
Lennox: Who’s that then?
Cooper: That’s Lennox. You might know her? She’s really rude and bossy.
Lennox: Nah!
Cooper: But also loyal and brave.
Lennox: Sounds more like it.
Cooper: And Dylan
Lennox: Who is the kindest, best gardener nature person I know – sorry Beth, you’re very good too – and who would do anything for anyone
Beth: Come on then, who’s going to show us round?
Music/noodling?
Dylan: And that’s how it happened.
Lennox: Maybe
Cooper: And this isn’t the end of the story. Because the best stories never really end. So this is just the end of a chapter and the beginning of a new one.
Lennox: Sometimes, even if you don’t know what’s going to happen
Dylan: You have to try.
Cooper: You make friends
Lennox: And ask questions
Beth: And figure things out as you go
All: Together
Lennox: Like we came together to tell you this story.
Martha: Spending your precious time here with us.
Cooper: And it ends,
Dylan: like it always does,
Lennox: With music
