Natasha: Tssssk!
Nicholas: Anyway we sat down at supper and discussed are most fond memories of our grandmother.
(Next scene starts with lights fading in, children and parents are sitting at table eating their supper sadly. They are all wearing black suites and dresses.)
Nicholas: So now you Dad tell us your best moment about our grandmother.
Dad: Well when I was about your age Ivan, I know it’s hard to believe without my winkles and spots and warts. Anyway when I had less wrinkles, warts and spots.
Children: You’re turning like Gran, your mumbling.
Dad: Oh be quiet kids this is no way to treat me when my mums just died don’t debase me kids that’s no way to treat your father. Any way in our house in Wrexham I had taken the post in and your grandmother, my mother and Natasha your mother in law was asleep on the sofa, she was snoring away and I decided to go through the post, you know how boys are, deceitful, unsightly, odious little things. I rummaged through the post and in the post I found a small parcel saying “To my darling Edwina” that’s was your grandmothers name. She was married with your grandfather and I thought she was having an affair so I opened it and to my horror there was another little red box tied up with pink string and a heart on it. I opened it and a huge fist sprung into my face. I had the biggest black eye ever. My mother came in and cackled saying “That’ll teach you ever to nose through my private document you daft, impure boy.” From then on I have learnt never to swindle anyone again.
Sophie: You do realise that throughout that stout speech you were also sniping at us with verbal abuse. Its nauseating what you did to us you like some hefty infant.
Dad: It’s sad what’s happened my mothers deceased she was my only person who under stood me. I’m just taking my trauma out on you kids and its unreasonable, sorry.
Tanya: This is why are grandma was so good she was a link for the family now that she’s gone we’ve all become weak links.
Nicholas: Its time to play the weakest link.
Everyone apart from Nicholas: SHUTUP NICHOLAS
Sophie: Well then that’s it the links gone we have got to be stronger for each other.
Nicholas: Have you finished these cheesy speeches.
Dad: I’ve had enough of your quips all evening.
Sophie: Be strong guys. That’s what’s got to happen be strong.
