3 MOVING HOUSE CHARACTERS Pete Nancy Josephine Gran Removal man The Colonel: Derek The Colonel s wife: Judith Chinese Take-away Scene one A cup of tea? Here you are. Here you are! Ah. Go and open the door for Boris, Josey. Why do I have to do it? Don t argue, just do it. Get down, Boris! Here you are, Boris; have my piece of toast. Don t feed him at the table, Josey. There s another competition in the newspaper I can enter, Nancy. What can you win this time? A ticket for a Marilyn Manson concert. Do you know who that is?! No, but isn t she a singer, a bit like Nana Mouskouri? Yes, that s right! Just like her! I hope you win! Just ignore him, mum. Nancy, it says here that your day is going to be full of fun and laughter! I don t think so! Why do you look at the horoscope every day, mum? 4

4 It s fun! Let me look at Josephine s stars. Yes, here it is. It says that you are feeling off colour today and it s better to stay indoors. Yeah, you re right, Gran. I have a stomach ache, I m not going to school today. Stop that, Josephine! You are going to school, no arguments. Why do I have to go to school, I hate it; it s boring. Because you do. I hated school, too. The teachers were terrible. They used to cane us with sticks. Did they cane you, Gran? Yes, of course. I was caned by the headmaster, what was his name? Oh, yes, Mr. Payne. I put some glue on a seat. That s not so bad. Why did he cane you? Because it was the teachers toilet seat! Really? Wow, cool! Don t get ideas, Josephine. Go and get ready for school. Oh, mum, please. Do as I tell you. Now! Teenagers! And put that newspaper down, Pete! Sorry? Is there a problem? No, no. I was just trying to get our daughter to go to school. Thank you for helping me. That s OK, dear, I am always happy to help. Can you pass the toast, please. Didn t you hear what I said? Yes, dear, of course, dear; and the treacle, please. Here it is! Ahhh!! Why did you do that!? Look, it s all over my trousers! I don t believe it! Get down Boris! I m not playing! Do something! Go to work now, Pete, before I do something else to you. The next time it might be a kitchen knife, so be careful in future. What s the matter? What did I do? Nothing, Pete. Absolutely nothing. That s the problem. I m going. Goodbye. Why did you marry him, Nancy? Do you want some on you as well?! 5

5 I always said he was bone idle; I liked that lawyer you went out with once, nice eyes and a lovely smile. I don t want to hear what you think, mum. Ooohh, it s not a good day for Pete! It says in his horoscope that he gets some bad news this afternoon. Stop it, mum. Don t make things worse. I must tell Pete, he must be careful. Nancy? Yes. What do you want now? I can t find any clean trousers. They are in the fridge, between the cheese and the tomatoes. Err? Why are they in the fridge? Where do you think they are?! In the bedroom, left wardrobe, on the right, where they always are. Thank you, Nancy. Pete!? Yes, what do you want? Be careful; today is a bad day for you. Sorry? It says in your horoscope that you get some bad news. Not that rubbish again, I m not interested. Wait a minute. Do you believe all that rubbish in the horoscope? Sometimes it s true, you know. Well, you re the same star sign as me! So you be careful! Oooh, dear, I forgot. Maybe you fall down the stairs, maybe Boris bites your leg, maybe your hearing aid explodes, maybe Goodbye! I told you not to say anything. Now where is Josephine? She s going to be late. Can you go upstairs and tell her to hurry up please, mum. I have to make her sandwiches. What a family! OK, Nancy. Come on, Boris. There s a good dog; you don t want to bite my leg, do you? There you are Josey. Come on, your mother is waiting. Shush! Close the door, Gran. Can you keep a secret? Ooh, I love secrets! Come here; look here; in this box. 6
