[BOY WITH HIS GIRL FRIEND WALKING TOGETHER, THEY COME ROUND A
CORNER AND SEE A GANG OF 3]

Boy: Oh no! They look tough – let’s pretend we don’t know each other, otherwise they might mock us!

Girl: But it will be alright won’t it?

Boy: Just do as I say and we’ll be alright!

[THEY APPROACH THE GANG]

Gang member 1: [THREATEN] Are you two an item then?

Boy: [STAMMERS] No, no, no I don’t know her!

Gang member 2: [THREATEN] Oh come off it! [MOCK] Holding her hand were
you?

Boy: No honest.. I was just passing her as I came round that corner.

Gang member 3: [STEP BETWEEN THEM AND STAND IN FRONT OF GIRL] Well

Girl: [LOOK AT BOY, THEN AT GANG MEMBER 3] I was on my way home.

Gang member 3: So soon? We’ve only just met!

Gang member 1: [TO BOY] What are you hanging around for?

Boy: Yeah, I was on my way home too. [WALK OFF]

Gang member 3: So babe, what shall we do tonight?

Girl: [STRONGLY] I said I was on my way home and I mustn’t be late! [STEP AROUND GANG MEMBER ]

Gang member 3: [MOCK] Oh a Mummies girl! Hey guys she can’t be late back!
