SUNDAY AFTERNOON

 

Maggie: Are you still pottering about¹ in the shed², Jim? I thought you'd finished making that table long ago.

Jim: Only another five minutes, dear. I'm just polishing it. I came to see if tea³ was ready yet.

Maggie: Tea? We've only just had lunch.

Jim: Couldn't we have a little snack⁴, then?

Maggie: Oh, I've had enough of sitting indoors all day and getting meals ready⁵. Can't we go out to the pictures for a change? There's a good film on at the Odeon⁶, with Elizabeth Taylor. Shall we go and see that?

Jim: All right. Elizabeth Taylor? Hmm, not a bad idea. Does it say in the local paper⁷ what time it starts?

Maggie: Six o'clock. That's really a bit late, now I come to think of it⁸. Anyway⁹, don't you think we've seen enough of Elizabeth Taylor lately? One film after another. What about driving to the West End¹⁰ and going to that new Italian film at the Plaza¹¹? That starts at five. We can just make it¹².

Jim: (with enthusiasm) The one with Sophia Loren, you mean? Fine! Let's go right away.

Maggie: Oh, but by the time we've got ready¹³ it'll be too late again. Besides, there's bound to be¹⁴ a long queue. You should have thought of it earlier¹⁵.

Jim: Who's the one who wanted to go in the first place¹⁶?

Maggie: I know. You'd be quite happy to stay at home all day, as long as you got your meals on time¹⁷.

Jim: Well, why not stay at home, and watch television?

Maggie: You know there's never anything good on TV on a Sunday afternoon. Unless you're interested in pig-breeding¹⁸ or quizzes.

Jim: We haven't been to the Crown¹⁹ for ages. Let's pop down²⁰ for a beer later, and maybe a game or two of darts²¹ with the boys²².

Maggie: Oh, that smoky, noisy pub. I'd rather spend a quiet evening at home.

(enter²³ Jane)

Jim: Oh, hallo, Jane.

 

You should have thought of it earlier

Jane: Hallo, Jim. Hallo, Maggie. I'm glad I found you in²⁴. I thought we might all go to the pictures tonight. Would you like to go and see that film at the Odeon, with Liz²⁵ Taylor?

Jim: Splendid. The two of us²⁶ can go together. Maggie's just decided she doesn't like Elizabeth Taylor, and that she'd rather spend a quiet evening at home, anyway. So she can get some supper ready while we're out.

Maggie: What do you mean? Haven't I been saying all along²⁷ we should go to the Odeon? You see, Jane, that's men all over²⁸!
