Waiting for God1990

[first lines]

Harvey Bains:
Come along, folk; panto time.

Female Resident:
Panto time? It's July.

Harvey Bains:
Be December by the time you get there.

Diana:
And the runners are all lined up. They are under starter's orders for this year's Derby.

Tom:
Diana, you really are unspeakable!

Diana:
Well, that's my job: Diana Trent, unspeakable swine, by appointment.

Tom:
You shouldn't mock the afflicted.

Diana:
Yes, of course you should. They can't fight back. You're onto a winning ticket mocking the afflicted. [yells] Come on, Millie, cut him off at the corner.

Tom:
You can't tempt fate like that, you know. It'll get *you* in the end.

Diana:
Oh, not a chance. The day I lay hand to walking frame will be the day I pull the plug on myself.
