I’ve done less than something. I’ve done nothing. I’ve… I’m nothing wrong. I’ve done nothing wrong. I never. I never. (She can’t finish) This bit is really hard to achieve without the proper staging. Griffin wouldn’t give us enough money, but what I really want to happen in this bit is that gold glitter will start to rain down from the sky.

EXTRACT: I am alone. I am in the middle of a road. I am very scared. I take a very small step forward. Then I take a very small step back. I get into bed and I watch some computer. I eat some fridge. I dream of waking up and getting ready for work. Wouldn’t that be lovely? I sleep with the lights on. I say goodbye instead of hello, accidentally. I think I’ve said something. But I haven’t said anything. I’ve done the opposite of something. I’ve done less than something. I’ve done nothing.
