Jennie, Jennie Baby

Scene 1: Rovers back room.

Jennie is tidying things away and dusting surfaces. Daisy is at the table drinking tea.
Daisy: I can't let Daniel think he's the father
Jennie: Where's the harm?  It's not like anything could go wrong.
Daisy: But it will break his heart when he discovers the truth. In 18 years' time he will see Classic Coronation Street and all of this storyline will be right there in front of his eyes.
Jennie: Kit is a good looking face for sure.  I mean if he was a grandfather clock I'd be watching his pendulum swing back and forth every day.  Daniel's more of a wrist watch.  Something you strap down for 10 hours and you then toss it off at night.  Kit's the better looking timepiece but Daniel is more suitable for every day use.
Daisy: I understand. I can strap Daniel on every day, but Kit's too big to be of much use except as a big piece of wood. 

Scene 2: Daniel's flat

Daniel: Adam, I have news.
Adam: What is it uncle Daniel? Did you buy an organ?
Daniel: No.
Adam: Have you bought a grand piano?
Daniel: No. What makes you think I've bought a grand piano?
Adam: An upright piano then?
Daniel: No, not that either
Adam: A casio keyboard?
Daniel: No. Why do you ask?
Adam: You said you were going to see Daisy to show her your organ and to make some music.
Daniel: Oh I made some music all right.  And the good news is that between us we have made a symphony. Daniel's Symphony in D-Light.
Adam: Are we talking about actual music or something else?
Daniel: Nephew mine, you have much to learn.
Adam: So you created a symphony between you? What kit did you use?
Daniel: We had no kit.  Who needs kit?


Scene 4: Back room, Rovers

Jennie: No one gets hurt, and no one will ever know.
Daisy: But can I live with a wrist watch?  I want Big Ben.
Jennie: We all want Big Ben. But Nick Tilsley is taken by Toyah. So you can't have him.
Daisy: Well someone rugged and cragged instead.
Jennie: Kevin is also taken.
Daisy: Roy then?
Jennie: Roy's an old train station clock.  And Tracey Barlow has wound up his spring before, so you don't really want to go near him.
Daisy: So, I have to settle for a wrist watch?
Jennie: Yes.
Daisy: With a cheap plastic strap?
Jennie: Yes. But that doesn't stop you from checking the time on other clocks.
Daisy: You mean sleeping around?
Jennie: (gazing at the old battered wreck of a wind-up clock on the mantle piece)  Mmm yeah. Must go it's 1pm and Ken will be in for a half of bitter soon.

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...
