Simon: Byron, did you catch the scores from today’s match?

Byron: Yes, the West Indies are back, man. You see, with Lara playing again, it will be a bad summer in England this year.

Simon: Oh, Walsh is an old man. England’s on the way back up.

Byron: The drums will be banging when the posse arrives.

Reverend Banks: It's getting a bit chilly out here.

Chester:  I thought things were heating up myself.

Byron: Now, now. I'm sure it will all work out.

Chester: She came all the way down here to get away from him, you know. It isn't right that he should be making her unhappy again.

Reverend Banks:  I think we should perhaps speak of other things.

Doug: I can show you around some of the island’s churches if you’d like, Reverend. There are some really old ones here.

Reverend Banks: Yes, I’d like that. Chester and I passed an interesting looking one on the way from the airport.

Chester: Can’t say that I really noticed. The taxi driver was flying around those bends so fast I thought I was going to shoot out the side of the car. Then we almost hit that donkey…It was worse than the landing, to be honest.

Amy: If you think that was bad, you should try landing on Saba. It looks like you’re going to smash into the side of a cliff and the runway’s the size of a postage stamp! I love to go there. The airport’s the best part!

Chester: Hmm. Well. It’s a lovely house, Ann. It suits you.

Ann: Thanks. I’m comfortable here. I’ve even gotten used to the lizards.

Chester: Lizards?

Ann: Yeah, they come in and out through the shutters all the time. They don’t bother me, though. Just hang out.

Myrna: Not like the donkey spiders! You should be telling him about those, Ann.

Ann: I haven’t seen any yet.

James: Well if you see one, you won’t forget it. They’re big.

Chester: So how big are they? Tell me about these spiders.

James: Well, they call them donkey spiders because they are as big as a donkey.

Chester: Do they bite?

James: Oh, yes. They bite. But not as bad as the centipedes. Now, the centipede crawls up the trouser leg. That thing bites, it’s over.

Chester: I thought this place was supposed to be paradise.

James: It is if you’re a bug.

Chester: These bloody mosquitos are sucking me dry. Why do they only bite me? I’m going inside.

Amy: Come on Ann. Let’s keep Chester company. Simon, you coming in?

Simon: No, I’ll stay out here a bit longer. Thanks.

(Follow Chester, Amy and Ann to the living room)

Reverend Banks: Simon, I’m sorry.

Simon: You know, we split up. She’s free to do what she wants.

Reverend Banks: Yes, she is. But I’m still sorry.

Simon: Thanks.

Doug: Don't mean to interrupt. It seems I’ve been a boor. Why don’t you come inside and we’ll all have another drink?

Reverend Banks: I think I fancy another. Thanks.

[Reverend Banks and Doug go to the living room]

Simon: So, you’re back again. Where’s my drink?

Ann: I’m sorry. I forgot. Let me go and get you one.

Simon: No, that’s fine…You and Doug. He seems…well, he's all right.  He's nice.

Ann: He’s an idiot.

Simon: That’s my line, poorClare.

Ann: Yeah, I know. I think you were right, Harleyman.

Simon: I’m sorry if I put you in an awkward positon. I guess I wasn’t expecting a party.

Ann: Or Doug’s replastering.

Simon: Yeah, or that.

Ann: It’s not quite what he said. He spends most nights on the couch. It’s just a temporary thing until his house is fixed.

Simon: Yeah.

Ann: I’m really glad you came. It was just such a surprise. I wasn’t sure when I’d see you again. I guess I wasn’t ready.

Simon: Come on Ann, it’s me. I’m just here for a visit. Nothing to get worried about. Or get ready for. I fancied a change of scenery. That’s all.

Ann: Well, what do you think of the scenery?

Simon: It’s fantastic! What a beautiful place. I can see why you like it here so much. It suits you.

Ann: It’s so different from England. Or the States for that matter. I thought I’d be really lonely here, but I haven’t been. I have missed you though.

Simon: Fancy going for a walk?

Ann: Yeah, that sounds nice. Just let me pop in and tell Amy I’ll be gone for a little while.

Simon: And Doug?

Ann: He’ll figure it out.

(find Ann and Simon on the roof of the Bath Hotel, several hours later)
