The woman in the hotel hands over an envelope to Ian. Ian opens it and takes a sneaky peak. he smiles then realises Jonti is looking at him.
Ian:

Jonti:
Nothing
Ian:

Jonti:
What's that Ian?
Ian:
A letter
Jonti:
Who from Ian?
Ian:
A friend
Jonti:
What friend?
Ian:
(pause) Steve Redgrave.
Jonti:
(disbelievingly)
Really? Steve Redgrave has sent you a letter has he? And what's in the letter?
Ian:
Um….He wants me to go to his house at Christmas.
Jonti:
I know you're lying. So what's really in the letter Ian?
Ian:
It's private.
Jonti:
Does this friend cross his fingers perminently? Are you confused? does what I'm saying make you want to SCRATCH your head.
Ian stares confused
You are a CARD Ian.
Ian ponders on what Ian is saying then clicks
Ian:
[mutters] Scratch. No! No it's not. I don't know what you're talking about.
Jonti:
It's the cheque from Lonzo's scratch card isn't it Ian.
Ian:
No
Jonti:
How much is it Ian?
Dawn enters the scene with her bags.
Dawn:
Can you grab these Ian?
There is awkward silence
What's the matter? What's happened?
Jonti:
[Tell tale] Ian won some money on Lonzo's scratch card Dawn.
Dawn:
What?
Ian:
[Muttered] I won some money on the scratch card.
Dawn:
Lonzo's ?
Ian:
[shamed] yes
Dawn:
And you didn't tell me?
Ian:
No
Dawn:
I thought there were to be no secrets
Ian:
But Dawn.
Dawn:
I'm really disapointed Ian. No! I'm devistated, that was Lonzo's ticket a ticket to give him hope, a dream! Dawn bites her bottom lip she is holdin back tears, she cannot look Ian in the eye
Ian:
Dawn
Ian waves the letter at her. Dawn holds her hand toward him, palm facing
Dawn:
No Ian, you keep YOUR money and buy as many dices as you like because that's all you care about isn't it?
Ian:
No not at all, and it's "dice" not "dices" and the singular is "Die"
Dawn:
[Snaps]What?
Awkward silence
Jonti:
What are you going to do with the money Ian?
Ian:
I was going to put it towards Dawn's Joneses party in Coventry. I wanted it to be suprise but you've ruined it now.
Dawn's expression changes to one of happiness
Dawn:
Really Ian?
Ian:
Yes
Dawn gives Ian a big hug, Ian is taken a back he drops a bag and then taps her on the back as if he's winding a baby
Dawn:
[To Camera with pride] This is my brother.
the lady behind the counter interupts the moment
Lady:

Ian ignores her
Mr Wallok
Dawn:
That's you Ian.
Ian:
I forgot
Lady:

Ian takes the letter and opens it he looks stunned
Dawn:
