Carl
is working in the grounds. As he puts his garden tools away
Gemma comes over.
[Gemma]
Oh hi聟you're new here aren't you? So this is where you
hang out? Nice聟nice. (pause while Gemma looks around
his things. Carl looks uneasy) Marilyn says you've taken
quite a shine to her. She says that you're her brother.
[Carl]
(perks up) Did she say that?
[Gemma]
Of course! She talks about you all the time! (pause) You
do know Marilyn don't you?
[Carl]
What did she say?
[Gemma]
(evasive) What are you planting here then?
[Carl]
(agitated) What did she say?
[Gemma]
I think its terrible the way she treated you. Don't you ever
get angry?
[Carl]
(snaps) Its not her fault. She works hard here at Oxford聟
(turns back to gardening)
[Gemma]
(menacingly) But she's a user Carl. She can't help
herself sometimes, she'll do anything to get her own way.
(whispers) It must make you聟very聟bitter.
