My Summer of Love

Tamsin:
Apparently I'm a bad influence on people.

Tamsin:
So what are you gonna do with your life?

Mona:
I'm gonna be a lawyer.

[pause]

Mona:
I'm gonna get a job in an abattoir, work really hard, get a boyfriend who's like... a bastard, and churn out all these kids, right, with mental problems. And then I'm gonna wait for the menopause... or cancer.

Phil:
Why you always trying to hurt me?

Mona:
Cause I think you're a f***ing fake, that's why.

Phil:
What is wrong with you?

Mona:
I just miss me brother.

Phil:
I'm here.

Mona:
That ain't you. It ain't.

Phil:
Oh no, this is me, this is the real me.

Mona:
I want the old Phil

Phil:
Well that old Phil, he didn't make me very happy.

Mona:
He made me happy. I love my brother, he used to be real. I haven't got any family, me home's changed, no one fancies me...

[breaks into tears]

Phil:
[hugging Mona] Oh Jesus watch over this child, watch over her...

Mona:
Oh no, f*** off! F*** off!

Tamsin:
What's he making?

Mona:
A cross. He's putting it up at the top of the hill to cleanse the valley of evil.

Tamsin:
What do you think of this place?

Mona:
It's funny.

Tamsin:
It's like lego, it's all sort of pretend.

Tamsin:
This is Edith Piaf. I just adore her. She was this marvellous Parisian woman who had such a wonderfully tragic life. She was married 3 times & each husband died in mysterious circumstances. The last one was a boxing champion and she killed him with a fork. She didn't even go to prison because in France crimes of passion are forgiven.

Mona:
I don't feel I'm in my own town.

Tamsin:
What d'you mean?

Mona:
It don't feel the same. I quite like it from here... with you.

Tamsin:
I just felt so useless. She was my one sister, my beautiful sister and she started to turn into this monster. These bones on her body just started to jut out like someone had stuck daggers under her skin. And her hair, she started growing hair all over her body - it was like a sort of dense fur, like a werewolf. And she stopped smiling, she couldn't smile anymore because she was throwing up all the time and the vomit, acid made her teeth go all yellow and she just stopped smiling and stopped living.

Tamsin:
If you leave me, I'll kill you.

Mona:
If you leave me, I'll kill you... and then I'll kill myself.

Tamsin:
How'd he shag you? I mean... horribly?
