I just couldn’t face Dad.

You could have told your sister.

I ought to have told you Anne. I should have trusted you. I’m so sorry.

DAVID tells his story

ANNE
What happened? Why did you stop writing?

DAVID
I started my course at University. It was very difficult. Computer science isn’t for me.

ANNE
Did you fail your exams?

DAVID
Yes. I let everyone down. I just wanted to die. Dad must be so angry.

ANNE
He’s just worried about you, David.

DAVID
I didn’t know what to do. I was so confused. I had to find a job. I couldn’t use father’s money any more. So, I applied for a job at the Markets. Phil was very kind. He agreed to give me a job if I could get a working visa.

ANNE
How did you?

DAVID
I went home and applied for it.

ANNE
You mean you went back to Singapore?

DAVID
Yes. I was too ashamed to see anyone. I’m such a failure.
ROSE takes David’s hand.

ROSE
I don’t think you’re a failure.

DAVID
Anyway, I returned here, and I started work. I met Rose, we moved in together, and, well, then Sam came along.

STEVE
It’s an amazing story.

SARAH
I think it’s wonderful.

DAVID
Mum and dad won’t think it’s that wonderful.

ANNE
They’ll be so relieved you’re safe. We didn’t know what to think, David.

What’s that?

STEVE
It’s the cops!
They pull over, and the policeman approaches.

POLICEMAN
Can I see your licence please?

STEVE
Here you are. I’m sorry officer, what’s the problem?

POLICEMAN
I’m afraid you were travelling at seventy kilometres per hour in a sixty kilometre zone. Also, I see you have a passenger in the back seat who was not wearing a seat belt. Do you know that you must wear a seat belt when you’re travelling in a vehicle, ma’am?

SARAH
I’m sorry. I forgot. You see officer, my friend here has been looking for her brother who she hasn’t seen for two years, and we’ve just discovered the address.

STEVE
We were driving there when you pulled us over.

POLICEMAN
Yes, well, you hear a lot of stories in this job. I haven’t heard that one before.

SARAH
But it’s true!

ANNE
I’m really sorry. It’s all my fault. I was only thinking about my brother, and now you’re in trouble.

STEVE
It’s okay Anne. It was my fault we were going too fast.

POLICEMAN
Look, just stick to the speed limit, okay?

STEVE
Thankyou officer. Thankyou so much.

POLICEMAN
But that’s no excuse for not wearing a seatbelt. Right now be off with you. I hope they find your brother, ma’am.

STEVE
Thanks officer.
