Kiss Kiss - Hah

Interior - Night - Vince's Flat

[Penny] Penny calls at the door Vince just stares at her

PENNY
"Is this a side effect of something you've taken ?"

VINCE
"I love it when you're angry with me Pen"

PENNY
"Really well you've in for an evening to remember then"

Vince has moved back into Eddie's flat number 4 on a Tuesday

VINCE
"Big Ed went back to Barbados He didn't want to go but his erhh accountant insisted"

Vince turns up the music loud Penny asks him to turn it off but he refuses insists she does it if she want to

VINCE
"Did you enjoy that"

PENNY
"Yes I pretended it was your life support machine"

Vince has poured himself some red wine but Penny

PENNY
"Do you mind if I have a wine"

VINCE
"Why not that's all you've been doing since you got here"

Vince is being very standoffish and Penny is not in a mood to be ruffled with they come straight to the point about the letter Vince sent top Penny asking to see her

VINCE
"Pen what I have to say isn't going to be easy so would you just for this once allow me to speak without being interrupter"

Penny looks perturbed and Vince pauses

VINCE
"You see Pen ..."

PENNY
"What do you mean interrupting I never interrupt"

[Vincent] Vince tries to speak but he keeps getting interrupted

PENNY
"If you're are trying to persuade me to come back to you just forget it"

VINCE
"No its nothing like that Pen"

PENNY
"Oh ... fine"

Vince first tries to explain about the fiasco at the wedding

VINCE
"it was not friendly fondling"

PENNY
"What was it a good old fashioned grope ?"

Vince persists but Penny is not having any of it as she starts on the wine

PENNY
"Its not the first social gathering we've been to where you're cuff link has become snagged up on some tart"

Vince insists that he has changed

PENNY
"In the past it would have been the best man's sister but these days you go right for the top the bride herself"

Vince keeps trying to explain but Penny is resolute

VINCE
"Oh what's the point ?"

PENNY
"After last Saturday there isn't one"

Penny then takes the floor

PENNY
"As far as I'm concerned ... its still over between us and to be honest its got nothing to do with what happened last Saturday ... some times people simply grow apart"

Vince looks dejected as she continues to spurn him

PENNY
"You'll meet someone else someone who'll make you happy as happy as I made you"

VINCE
"That happy !"

Penny's speech goes on and on becoming patronising she eventually finishes

PENNY
"In time you'll meet someone else - You will. Now what was it you wanted to tell me"

VINCE
"I'm getting engaged"

Penny's face is a picture as it wipes from smugness to insecurity

VINCE
"We were going to have a celebration round at Angies place but .."

PENNY
"Who the hell is Angie"

Penny believes it to be just another of Vince's games so he produces a Polaroid of her

VINCE
"She's pretty isn't she"

PENNY
"Uhm I suppose so in a rather obvious way"

Still unbelieving Vince produces the receipt for the restaurant at which the party will be held. Penny is silenced

VINCE
"You were right Pen"

PENNY
"Right about what"

VINCE
"You said in time I'd meet somebody else"

PENNY
"in time ... its barely been six days ... but you could have at least given it to the end of the week"

Vince tells how he met her on Monday at Eddie's going away party

PENNY
"I spent all Monday evening stuck in my bedroom agonizing over how I was to tell you we were finished and all that time you were yocking it up at some party"

Penny is over whelmed but the quickness of it all

VINCE
"I didn't go to the party with the intention of picking anyone up"

PENNY
"Oh come on Vince - you in room full of women its like Dracula at a blood bank"

She is now becoming possessive with lots of digs

PENNY
"Did you sleep with her"

VINCE
"What you mean that night ?"

PENNY
"I mean any bloody night"

Vince takes the moral high ground as Penny does not belive that nothing has happened. She recounts her experiences

PENNY
"The very night we met you tried your luck .. I'd know you for exactly one hour when you bought me a Coca cola and tried to undo my bra. I remember thinking I'm glad I didn't ask for a Bacardi with it"

Vince claims he was younger then and inexperienced

PENNY
"Oh I see I was some kind of training pitch .. all that time I thought we were in love and you were just on manoeuvres"

The ice has well and truly set

VINCE
"Would you like to dance"

PENNY
"I'd rather lick the floor of an abattoir"

Vince is suddenly back on his best form

VINCE
"I wanted us to be friends .. I was going to invite you to the wedding ... Angie wouldn't be worried if you were there"

PENNY
"The only thing Angie ought to be worried about is if you'll be there"

Vince moves to wrap it all up with a drink for "Old time's sake" and a toast to "Friends". Penny almost relents then starts off again talking

VINCE
"Its just any girl Pen - its THE girl"

PENNY
"Is she like me in any way"

VINCE
"No she's younger than you are"

PENNY
"I meant is she like me in personality"

VINCE
"No the complete opposite .. she .. ahhh well .. she laughs and"

PENNY
"What do you mean she laughs - I laugh - Ha Ha Ha"

VINCE
"No but shes always laughing"

PENNY
"Is there something wrong with her"

VINCE
"She's happy Pen"

PENNY
"Well shes certainly sounds a cheerful little soul all that cackling and gurgling its enough to put you off you food"

VINCE
"She love mew Pen"

PENNY
"But what about ME"

VINCE
"She's never met you but I think you'll get on like a house on fire"

PENNY
"But I still ... sort of like you"

[Sofa] Vince lies back on the sofa as Penny reveals her feelings. She brings up the incident at the wedding and Vince's eye nearly pop out as shes says about it

PENNY
"I believe you"

VINCE
"You DO"

PENNY
"No one could invent a story that ridiculous"

VINCE
"He that's exactly what I thought"

Vince explains that Angie is going away to make arrangements and brings up parent's villa

VINCE
"While Angie's out of town why don't we fly over there for a week"

PENNY
"My god you've got a nerve I like to slap your face - both of them"

Penny flies off the handle but end sup disappointed

VINCE
"We wouldn't be sleeping together"

PENNY
"Wouldn't we"

VINCE
"I see it as a 'Goodbye' holiday"

Vince paints it out to be a romantic no contact adventure

PENNY
"So we wouldn't be going away as well boyfriend and girlfriend"

VINCE
"No just good friends"

Penny asks for time to think and then accepts almost immediately with the cackling

PENNY
"I wonder what Angies would say is she was to find out"

VINCE
"She doesn't mind"

PENNY
"You mean she knows about it"

PENNY
"It was her idea"

They drink a toast

VINCE
"Here's to our future apart"

Exterior - Day - Outside The Pinner's Villa In Portugal

VINCE
"I am not scared of flying"

PENNY
"When the plane touched down .. you applauded"

Vincent reading as 'Boards' magazine is trying to shrug of his fear of flying

PENNY
"You couldn't tell a good landing from a bad one .. I don't know though you must have crept along quite a few in your time"

Penny is obviously hiding something she is excessively cheery and sniping at Angie.

VINCE
"You've been acting like someone with a secret or a congenital defect"

penny explains how they day before they left she went out shopping and met Lennie and his fiancee

VINCE
"It must be catching"

PENNY
"Like Mumps ?"

Penny continues driving the knife in deeper but Vince does not give

VINCE
"She is the splitting image of your Angie"

PENNY
"Yes that is because Leonard is getting engaged to Angie's twin sister"

PENNY
"Curious because her name is Angie to"

VINCE
"Yes"

PENNY
"You mean her parents had identical twin girls and christened them both Angie ?"

[Hold] Penny springs up and puts Vince into an arm lock forcing the truth about the picture (from Lennie's coat) and the restaurant booking (a surprise party). She asks why

PENNY
"Why did you make me come all this way for a worthless pack of lies"

VINCE
"I like playing games - Look if you knew they were lies why did you come ?"

PENNY
"Because I like winning games"

[Priest] The 2 engage in some roughing watched on by disapproving priest.

Interior - Day - Inside The Pinner's Villa In Portugal

The Priest has affected Vince

VINCE
"It was as if he could read my thoughts"

PENNY
"A one eyed budgie with a squint could have read your thoughts"

VINCE
"... All day long I've been thinking about going to church and confessing my sins"

PENNY
"Come on Vince we're only here for a week"

VINCE
"... At least I told the truth about the lies"

Vince tries to use the coming clean as a lever for his devices

PENNY
"Because I found out you've been lying through your back teeth I've got to sleep with you"

VINCE
"there're the rules"

PENNY
"God If I'd had to sleep with you every time you told a lie I'd have spent half my life in a coma"

Penny is not to be swayed

PENNY
"We came out here as friends and we're going to remain out here as friends - got it ?"

VINCE
"fine .. could we pet heavily"

Vince goes to pour another drink whilst Penny finishes her to discover a lizard

VINCE
"Pen all the doors are locked"

PENNY
"Then there's lizard wit a key behind the sofa"

Vince roots around to please Penny and eventually discovers it running towards her

VINCE
"its a lizard Pen - A big lizard"

PENNY
"Let me guess you're frightened of lizards as well"

VINCE
"... only lizards that are the same room as me ..cant even make a dash for it he's got the front door covered"

The scared pair try to come up a solution

PENNY
"Let's phone the police"

VINCE
"The Police ! the Police aren't going to take any notice of a call from a screaming hysterical tourist"

PENNY
"Alright then I'll phone the Police"

VINCE
"..ok have it your way the phone's over there by the lizard"

PENNY
".. do something"

VINCE
"I will if it comes any closer"

The two scurry into the bedroom

Interior - Night - The Bedroom Of The Pinner's Villa In Portugal

PENNY
"We could climb out of the window"

VINCE
"What's the point Pen ... We've only got one lizard there's millions of the sods out there"

They realize they are stuck in the bedroom all night until the maid lets it out in the morning

PENNY
"Were are we going to sleep"

VINCE
"I don't know Pen lets have a search round see if we can find a bed"

PENNY
"I'd rather spend the night with the lizard"

Vince opens the door to oblige her but she screams for him to close it

VINCE
"He's running across the room towards me"

PENNY
"He most probably mistook you for one of his family"

Vince pulls out a bottle for calming down purposes he offers it to Penny

PENNY
"Haven't you got anything to drink it from"

VINCE
"No the glasses are outside with Godzilla"

As they share the drink they make a big show of cleaning the bottle between passing. Vince tries to get them to treat each other kindly

PENNY
"I'm sorry I called you a lizard"

VINCE
"And a pig"

PENNY
"I'm not sorry about that"

Vince is very quiet humbling himself

VINCE
"I'm didn't mean to get scared out here ... I feel I let you down again"

penny accepts the apology and tries to comfort him

PENNY
"I read somewhere John Wayne was cared of spiders"

VINCE
"I don't like them either"

Penny reveals a sad story

PENNY
"This holiday has brought back some bad memories .. I came to Portugal once before .. with Graham .. it was while we where here I discovered our marriage was finished .. In our hearts .... we knew ... it was over"

VINCE
"is that why you came over here to try and patch things up ?"

PENNY
"No it was our honeymoon"

Penny continues her sad tale of the doomed marriage

PENNY
"have you ever wanted the world to stop spinning"

VINCE
"No .. there's been a few occasions when I wished the room would stop spinning"

PENNY
"yes I've been there to"

Vince turns off the light for them to watch the moon from the bed

PENNY
"You can't see the moon from here"

VINCE
"No .. what shall we do now then"

The credits roll as we leave them alone to pick up the story in the morning

[Lizard] Vince exits from the bedroom into the kitchen see the lizards picks it up kisses it and places it outside on the patio with a self satisfying "Ah"
