Scene Seven – INT- SCENE CUTS BACK TO THE TROTTERS FLAT
Rodney is ham-fistedly changing a nappy. Cassandra enters from the kitchen.Cass: Honestly Rodney, I can’t believe you haven’t got the hang of that yet!
Rodney: She keeps moving!
Doorbell rings
Cass: Well, you can do some moving of your own now and answer the door.
Rodney: (Smiling) Anything else my lady?
Cass: Yes, if they’re selling anything were not interested.
Rodney: No, you’ll be alright, Del’s back at the pub.
CUTS BACK TO THE NAGS HEAD (STILL MIKE AND DEL)
Del: How did finding out who Mr X was mean you went down the kermet?
Mike: Because as soon as I found out who he was, he realised I was a danger to him.
Del: Why?
Mike: Because I knew him.
Del: (Unconvinced) So you came to warn me about him.
Mike: Yes.
Del: (Still dubious) Am I in danger as well then?
Mike: Yes.
Del: Why?
Mike: Because you know him as well.
