Shirley I know but wouldn’t it be romantic you and me under the stars sipping a carafe of wine together.
Joe No it would not Shirley I have traveled all this way to find you and it’s a Thursday so I want me tea now. Because its Thursday I want me usual steak and chips, don’t think you have got away with it just because your in some backwards country, don’t forget your vows Shirley Bradshaw when you married me you agreed to look after me in sickness and in health and if you don’t look after me I will be sick!
Costas comes into view and he begins to talk to Shirley.
Costas Err... Hello Shirley I is sorry I find out just now my aunt is not sick in Athens she is very well in fact so I thought I should come find you, to tell you the good news. I was so happy when I find out. Oh, who is this Shirley?
Shirley Costas this is Joe my husband Joe this is Costas I work in his bar.
Costas Well err nice to meet you I think; Shirley has told me so much about you.
Joe well I haven’t heard one iota about you so you better begin
Costas well nothing really has happened, Shirley works in my bar she needed a job that is all. She is a lovely woman and I have not ever made foak with her.
Joe turns around and looks at Costas in a bemused fashion.
Costas says his good byes and hurries off up the winding road.
The camera then focuses on Joe and Shirley now holding hands walking to the seashore.
Shirley isn’t it lovely here Joe, can you now see why I have stayed can you Joe?
Joe it is lovely here Shirley I must admit, but you don’t belong here you belong in England with me.
Shirley I can’t go back now Joe I belong here this is my life now but I still want you to be part of my life, I really do.
We could start a new life together you and me hey how about it. We would both be so happy. There would be no more worries no more disappointments just excitement.
We could learn to love each other again you know how we used to back then, I feel we have been drifting apart all these years.
Joe Well…
Shirley let me finish Joe would you not like to live out here care free and with me. We could both get up in the mornings and think yes another exciting day unlike before. You wouldn’t have to work I could work in the bar and we could live off the land.
Joe it all sounds so lovely Shirley but im still not sure what about the kids?
Shirley the kids are old enough now they don’t need looking after you never know we might be doing them a favour. I know it sounds horrible but there’s no one to miss us. Think about it we have no friends no family it’s just us. We could make a new start; get new friends a new life Joe can’t you see.
Joe it does sound nice Shirley but will it turn out like that you don’t know it could all go wrong. How can we live off the land and on basic pay? We can’t what will we eat? I don’t know Shirley I really don’t know we will talk about it tomorrow. Where are you staying? We might be able to decide after some shuteye come on!
The screen fades as we see Shirley and Joe holding hands walking away we here the sea in the background. The next day Shirley and Joe get out of bed and eat breakfast on the balcony. The sun is rising and the sea is placid in the background
Shirley Well…
Joe I haven’t decided yet Shirley it’s a really big decision, perhaps we could go for a walk and think things through.
Shirley OK
They set off down the steep windy road to the beach. They begin to talk.
Joe I do love it here even though its not quite England.
Shirley I know I told you its so easy to fall in love with it here.
Joe well we could give it a trial period say one or two months. But nothings got to change just because were in another place I still want me dinner cooked.
However, we can cook it together.
The camera pulls out to reveal Joe and Shirley kissing passionately on the sands of Mykanos bay and the ending music begins to fade in as the picture fades out
The End
