Arthur: Silence It's time wasted if you ask me. If I could walk out that door right now I would. I'd go see the world. I always get to see the TV whenever it's on. My favourites are all the shows he watches about nature and history and travel. The Galapagos islands. That's where I'd go. Jack: I haven't got much worth doing anything for. Arthur: The great barrier reef. Jack: Certainly not worth doing this for. Arthur: The Pyramids. See all the mummies charging around the place. Jack: I could have been doing something else. Arthur: I know. I'd go to the North Pole and see Santa Claus. Jack: I was going to go to college. Arthur: That'd be like a dream come true. Jack: I fecked that up anyway, didn't I. Arthur: All the snow. And the reindeer. And the elves. Silence But that's never going to happen is it. All I'm ever going to see is this room. Jack gets up and walks around the room, perusing goods. Arthur: What's he doing now. Jack: I lived with my uncle you see. He was a tough case. We lived on a farm west of here. I hated him. He never used to let me have friends. He was afraid I'd go out drinking I guess. Get in with a bad crowd from the town. Arthur: He really is taking his time alright. Jack: I should have listened to him. He was going to send me to college. He wanted me to get into finance so I could manage the farm's accounts. I ran away then and when I came back a few months later he wasn't there. He'd sold the house to a man and his wife and the farm to one of the neighbours. I couldn't find him. Arthur: Why hasn't he taken anything. Jack: I should have stayed. I could have looked after him. I could have had a wife and kids. Been living in a house like this. Had nice things like this. This lot have a bloody portrait hung over the fireplace.
Arthur: Why's he looking at me. Jack: He loved me and I just didn't understand it. Silence Arthur: What on Earth is wrong with this guy. Silence Jack: He died three months ago. Sits down again. Pause. I found out last week. Arthur: There's something wrong. Jack: They'd been looking for someone to contact and they found me. Silence Arthur: I wonder what they're going to say when they get back. Pause I hope they're okay. Pause Jack: There isn't a whole lot worth looking at down here is there. Arthur: They've been through a lot lately. Jack: Anything here small enough to take is worthless. Arthur: Especially Ellie's dad. Jack: There's plenty of nice stuff alright, don't get me wrong, but I can't take it. Arthur: An old friend of theirs died a while ago. Jack: See my car broke down a while back and I can't afford to get it fixed. Arthur: That's what I've managed to pick up anyway. Jack: And that only leaves my bike. Which isn't very convenient. Arthur: I never saw him here but it seems like he meant a lot to him a long time ago. Jack: Because I can only take what fits in my backpack, and I can't make enough money of it after rent to get my car fixed. Arthur: I think they bought their first house off him years ago.
