Marian, Again2005

[Marian keeps ringing Chris but is too frightened to say anything. Chris thinks it is Olivia's stalker who is ringing]

Josie Bevan:
Who was it?

Chris Bevan:
Some old dear getting in a muddle.

[phone rings]

Chris Bevan:
[mutters] For God's sake.

[into phone]

Chris Bevan:
Hello. I can hear you breathing.

Josie Bevan:
It's probably one of those automated dialling things. If it's bothering you, just unplug it.

[phone rings]

Chris Bevan:
[mutters] Right, that's it.

[shouts into phone]

Chris Bevan:
Listen, you pervert, I know what you're doing. You stay away from my child or I *swear* I will *rip* out your throat and *piss* down the hole!

[furious, Chris pulls phone wire out and coils it round phone]

Esme Bevan:
[laconically] I bet *that* old lady won't ring back again!
