GRACE (CONT’D) As pretty as a robin. As gentle as a dove. Then silence. Finally, Harry dares to speak up. HARRY We haven’t had singing in here since the war. Thomas glares up at Harry. After a moment. THOMAS Why do you think that is? Thomas leads his brother to their own private snug bar and the door slams behind them. OMITTED 1/48 Freddie lives in one room in a tenement. From outside, through a metal grill window and through skipping children we hear the sound of sex. INT. FREDDIE THORNE’S GARRET - NIGHT 4 - 20:47 1/47B EXT. FREDDIE THORNE’S GARRET - NIGHT 4 - 20:45 1/49 The room is functional and the walls lined with books, mostly revolutionary literature. There is a single bed in which Freddie and Ada are just recovering from sex. Freddie lights a cigarette and shares it with Ada. We can hear children playing outside. After a moment... FREDDIE So did Arthur say what kind of deal this new copper offered him? Ada turns angrily to Freddie. ADA The second your balls are empty it’s back onto politics. She gets out of bed and begins to dress, the cigarette smouldering in her mouth. Freddie half smiles... FREDDIE What did Tommy say? Ada grabs a black mourning dress from the back of a chair. She begins to dress with anger which Freddie knows will pass... ADA He didn’t say anything. You know what he’s like.
