Daisy and the Dads

Scene 1: The Rovers. 
Daisy: What can I get you Daniel?
Daniel: I love you Daisy. Pint of.... Since the moment Bethany left, I've deeply madly loved you.... bitter please.
Daisy: I need time... £3.50 please... and space Daniel.
Daniel: Thanks Daisy. No one pours a pint like you.  Even Bethany when she was here, she couldn't make a cup of tea half as nice as the way your pour a pint.
Jennie: (Quietly to Daniel so that Daisy can't hear) You'll be a grand dad Daniel.
Daniel: I'm going to be a granddad? Are you saying that Bertie is the father?
Jennie: No, keep your voice down Daniel.  I mean that you will be a great dad - a lovely dad.  And that's me saying that without you even offering to buy Carla off.

Scene 2: Julie inside Eileen's house
Todd: Julie! How did you get in?
Julie: Key was under doormat.
Todd: Sit down. Me mam'll be here soon. She'll be so pleased to see you.
Julie: I can't. I have an awful secret.

(The door bursts open. It is Kit.)
Kit: Everyone stay still. Do not move. Be without motion. Freeze.
Todd: What's going on?
Kit: I'll ask the questions Grimshaw.  Now who have we got here? (pointing to Julie).
Julie: My name is....
Kit: Julie Carp. AKA Handbag Helen, or sometimes known as Bunty Backpack. A drug supplier of the highest order. Open that bag.

(She opens the bag to reveal a plastic box full of drugs).
Julie: They are mine. I have.. cancer.
Kit: Are you sure?
Julie: Sadly yes.
Kit: Well in that case, I'll let you off with a caution. (He exits.)

Scene 3: Kit enters the Rovers
Daisy: What can I get you officer?
Kit: A pint of lager and the name of the baby's father.
Fizz: Oh I heard Adam say congratulations to Daniel and Daniel saying that he was looking forward to being a dad again. And Daisy saying let's go and talk about it.
Daniel: It's official. I am the daddy. But you would've been a good dad Kit.
Kit: I dodged a bullet there mate.  
Daniel: I love Daisy.  To you she was just a bit of fun.  The thrill of sleeping with a civilian without having to arrest her first.  To me, she's the best I can get since my Bethany left town.
Kit: Let's have a fight Daniel.  Winner gets to be the baby's daddy.
Daniel: No need to fight. I am the daddy. My Bertie will soon be a brother. You are destined to be alone and childless.
(Kit gets angry, and turns around and punches Steve MacDonald in the face.)




Scene 4: Eileen's front room
Todd: Cancer, you say?
Julie: Aye. Cancer.
(George enters)
George: Did I hear cancer? If it's terminal I've got a good deal on offer just now. Pine box,  one car, 12 minute service in the crematorium, the burning, coffee, cake, sausage roll and sandwich in a local hotel, return of ashes inside a cardboard box shaped like Elvis. Only thing is you have to use up this plan within 6 months of signing, otherwise you lose the Elvis shaped box and the cake will have gone off.
Julie: That sounds lovely. How much?
George: £999, but 10 percent family discount. Flowers £50 extra.
Julie: (Takes out her purse): Here you are (hands over a deposit).

(Eileen enters)
Eileen: Day I've had. Rita wanted a taxi from the Kabin to the Rovers.  George wanted sex in the taxi office.  And now... (she sees Julie signing a funeral plan contract) JULIE! What a surprise.
Julie: Eileen! You are looking well. And you've lost so much weight since I last saw you.
George: Sit down Eyelash, and I'll open that bottle of Lidl 2024 Vin de Sverige.
Eileen:  And let's have glasses rather than mugs George.  So Julie what brings you here?
Julie: (She looks at Todd conspiratorially) I was just passing and dropped in to see you. It's not like I'm dying or anything.

Scene 5: The Rovers bar
Steve: (Smarting from the punch) What was that for? It wasn't in the script.
Kit: Improvisation old chap.  And I find you annoying.
Daisy: He has a point.
Steve: Well thank you very much. I'll have you know I've been a sex symbol on this street for 35 years. 
Daisy: Stop arguing boys.  Daniel, come through the back room. We need to talk.
Kit: I'm glad it's not mine. I've got enough rough relatives in this street already.

Scene 6: The Rovers back room
Daniel: And I'll change the nappies and express milk and feed him. I'll paint the nursery and Bertie will have a sweet sibling to play with. And I'll pay off your debts.
Daisy: But Daniel...
Daniel: No buts.  I've decided the money is for you and Jenny so you can buy this place and run it as you like but perhaps cut down on the rooms-by-the-hour rentals.
Daisy: But Daniel, listen to me.
Daniel: Ok keep prostitution business going but try to persuade Sally to keep the noise down when she's working.
Daisy: Listen Daniel.
Daniel: What is it mother of my baby? Can you feel it kick yet? Can I feel your bump... our bump?
Daisy: Oh, ok. Do it.
Daniel: Great. Bethany never let me do that to her but she's gone now and so now I know I love you so much.

I'll have you know I've been a sex symbol on this street for 35 years.

Scene 3 The Barlows Peter And I haven’t had a drin...

Rita has no recollection

 Rita woke up, hungover as usual.  She was fully dressed, and so she reckoned that she must have been pretty tanked up the night before. She got up off the couch and staggered around, tripping over her high heels. "Here, what's that on me shoes?"   She bent down (slowly) and picked up a shoe.   "Blood? That looks like blood. Where did that come from?"

Mary and Brian catch up

The Rovers Return Mary: I often wonder what you see in me Brian. Brian: Mary, Mary, Mary. Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou are more lovely and more temperate. Mary: But Brian, I very much fear that my summer is fading fast. Brian: In truth, you're probably at the stage of the first frost of autumn. Mary: And yet do not the apples hang lustily from my boughs, waiting to be picked, to be pulped, to be fermented and turned into the sweetest cider? Brian: I like a good cider. Mary: I used to like cider. I would drink it with friends after school. It made us very naughty and we played the most silly games of dare. Once, my friends dared me to steal a policeman's helmet. Brian: And did you? Mary: Of course. I got mother to help me. She entered the police station to report me missing, and insisted that she had murdered me. This meant that she had to be interviewed, and during the interview mother pretended to have a psychotic episode, during which time she picke...
