GRACE Is it always this busy on a daytime?
Harry pulls a pint beside her... HARRY
No. These boys are all on their way to St. Andrews. GRACE To pray?
Harry chuckles.
HARRY That’ll be the day. St. Andrews is a football ground. The Blues are playing. Harry gestures at a group of four men, drinking beer and smoking near the door... HARRY (CONT’D) That’s the forward line and the goalie believe it or not. Harry takes his pint to his customer. Grace hears a tap on one of the small windows to the private snug bar and hurries to it. She opens the small, frosted window. She comes face-to-face with Thomas. Grace and Thomas peer at each other. There is a crackle of electricity. After a moment... THOMAS I need a bottle of Rum. Grace double takes. Harry has glimpsed who she is serving and looks anxious. He calls out... HARRY Grace? Whatever it is, it’s on the house. Grace is a little thrown. Thomas is putting coins on the bar... GRACE A whole bottle? Thomas looks up at her, his eyes shaded. She stammers... GRACE (CONT’D) White rum or dark? THOMAS I don’t care.
