DISSOLVE TO: INT. LINDA'S BEDROOM - MORNING Linda and Brian are in the bedroom, looking angry. Linda is really upset. LINDA What did you expect? I mean I'm not well. I'm on antibiotics, the doctor said I should be in the hospital and you piss off out to visit relatives with your mother. You couldn't eve be bothered to phone and tell me you were going to be late! BRIAN I'm not a child. I shouldn't have to tell you my every movement. LINDA Look, I was worried. What if something had happened to you? You said you would be back by seven. By the time you got back at two in the morning...I had already phoned the police and the hospital in case you'd had an accident! With Clarissa's christening today, what if something had happened to you? BRIAN Well, it didn't and you're being silly. Plus, you shouldn't have been rude to my mother when we got back. LINDA (sarcastically) Really! Well, she shouldn't have been so condescending. Speaking on your behalf and sticking her nose in. Do you think I don't know she doesn't like me? She has made that obvious and she's been trying to take over all week. BRIAN (snappy) She is just trying to help! LINDA (snapping back) Help? More like trying to put a wedge between us. Throwing insinuating little remarks all the time that I am not good enough...that I don't look after you and Clarissa properly. That's really helpful!
