Scene Three – INT – THE CELLAR – IMMEDIATE
Denzil is feeding papers through the shredder.Trigger: Here’s the last of it Denzil.
Trigger hands Denzil some more paperwork.
Denzil: Thank Goodness for that Trigger. This is fiddly and time consuming, I just hope our ’employer’ appreciates this effort.
Del enters in haste, Mike follows close by. There are boxes of shredded paper and Del can see that Denzil is busy feeding yet more paperwork into the shredder.
Del: Oh no! Trigger, Tell me you and Denzil haven’t got rid of all the paperwork.
Trigger: No, it’s all here still Del, it’s in there.
Trigger points to two boxes, both full of shredded paper. Denzil looks up from the shredder and looks from Del to Mike.
Denzil: Oh great, this is another Trotter classic isn’t it. Don’t tell me, we’ve shredded something important.
Del is forlorn and sits down resignedly on one of the empty kegs.
Del: Vitally important Denzil, but there’s not a lot we can do about it now.
Trigger: Perhaps we can piece this all back together.
Del: Gor, blimey, Trigger, it took you a fortnight to complete that Thomas the Tank jigsaw puzzle I got you for Christmas, what chance would you have getting this lot back together?
Denzil: Nobody could piece this lot back together, don’t even think about it.
Del: No, that’s right Denzil. (picks up some of the paper fragments). Just like all my dreams this is.
Trigger: What? Rubbish?
Del: No. My dreams always end up in shreds.
