Episode 4

At B&B

Jack: So Terence, what brings you back here? Because it certainly isn't for the want of seeing us

Terry: Actually dad, it is

Jack: Spare me with this rubbish

Vera: No Jack, let him speak

Terry: I know I have done alot of bad things in the past

Jack: That's got to be the understatement of the century

Terry: I just want a chance to prove to you that I can be the son that you want me to be

Vera: Oh Terry, come here (Hugs and kisses him) You're welcome to stay for as long as you want, isn't he Jack?

Jack: I suppose he is (Still annoyed)

 

Outside Rovers Return

(Natalie sleeping rough at the bus shelter)

Blanche: Natalie Horrocks, aren't you a bit long in the tooth for this?

Natalie: I have no flamin choice Blanche. Nobody will give me a room. Everybody hates me around here

Blanche: Well at least you've got one thing right there!

Hilda: What's the matter with the poor lass?

Blanche: She has nowhere to stay

Hilda: Well she does now, come on love, you can come and stay with me and my Stanley

Natalie: Thank you Mrs. Ogden

Hilda: Call me Hilda, I'm a working class lady, you can call me by my first name

Natalie: (Looks at Blanche) At least everyone around here isn't a heartless cow!

 

At Wilton's

Derek: Mavis, there is something I need to ask you

Mavis: Make it quick Derek because I am due in the Kabin in five minutes

Derek: It's about Norris

Mavis: What about him?

Derek: He's moved out of Emily's and wants to know if we'll

Mavis: Oh no Derek, I don't think that I could take Norris at work and at home

Derek: But Mavis, he's desperate!

Mavis: I'll have to think about it Derek but I'm not making any promises!

 

At The Rovers Return

(Bet putting on her makeup and smoking a cigarette)

Raquel: Bet, I was wondering if I could have some time off tonight

Bet: Doing something special pet?

Raquel: I wouldn't call it special, I'm just going out with Des

Bet: Des! As in Des Barnes!

Raquel: Yes that's right, Des Barnes

Bet: Are you sure that it's wise to be getting back involved with that rat?

Raquel: He is not a rat Bet

Bet: Oh yes he is

Raquel: Well you're not going to stop me! (Leaves)

Bet: That silly girl

Betty: Bet, there are some flowers here for you

Bet: Are there? Who are they from?

Betty: It doesn't say

Bet: Give me them here. I am not a keen lover of flowers but I know when I see nice flowers. Put them in water

Betty: Will do

At The Kabin

Norris: Here is a cup of tea for you Mavis

Mavis: Thanks very much Norris

Norris: Can I get you anything to accompany that?

Mavis: I'll have a chocolate biscuit please

Rita: What is the deal with Norris pampering you?

Mavis: He's trying to get his way into my good books so I'll let him move in! I think I'll keep him in suspense for the rest of the day!

At Corner Shop

Maud: I don't know who that Blanche Hunt thinks she is but she won't get my Percy

Reg: Since when was he yours!

Maud: He's more mine than hers! (Percy enters)

Reg: Ah Percy! The very man! We were just talking about you

Percy: Were you?!

Maud: Shut up Reg!

Percy: Look if this is about you ad Blanche, just meet me in the Rovers this evening. I will put you both out of your misery. (Percy leaves)

Reg: I wonder what that means?

Maud: It means that he is going to declare his undying love for me and not Blanche Hunt

 

At Ogden's

Natalie: I must say that you have been very kind to me

Hilda: Don't mention it love

Natalie: I guess I never realised how hated I was until I lost the Rovers and was forced to live on the streets

Hilda: They're a fickle bunch around here. When they love you they love but when they hate they sure do hate you!

Natalie: I think I'll pack in my cleaning job at the Rovers, I can't stand that Bet Lynch

Hilda: She's a right snooty cow isn't she?! Well if you don't want the job, I'll take it

Natalie: You?!

Hilda: Don't look so surprised. I may appear over the hill but I can still clean a few tables and toilets!

At B&B

Jack: I still don't like the idea of Terry prancing back in here and thinking that all is forgiven

Vera: Look Jack, I know he's done wrong in the past but he deserves another chance

Jack: He's stabbed us in the back so many times that the knife doesn't hurt anymore!

Terry: I am going to go to Rovers for a while

Vera: Ok Terry, see you now!

Jack: I am still not happy about this

 

At The Kabin(Evening)

Rita: The end of another hard day

Norris: One that I am glad is over, but on the other hand I amn't

Mavis: Why is that Norris?

Norris: I have nowhere to go now that I have left Mrs. Bishop's

Rita: Have you ever thought that you made a mistake there?

Norris: Not at all Rita, I hated the way Percy was always doing housework just to please Mrs. Bishop and get an extra portion of vegetables with his dinner.

Mavis: Look Norris, you can stay with Derek and I

Norris: I can! Oh that's fantastic news! I could hug you...

Mavis: I'd rather you didn't!

 

At Corner Shop

Maud: Is it ok if I get off now? Percy is meeting Blanche and I in the Rovers and I want to be there before she is to show how committed I am

Reg: Go on then. I think I might pop in to the Rovers myself, there's a nice atmosphere there, especially among the barstaff

Maud: You're not still harbouring feelings for Bet Lynch, are you?

Reg: No of course not. I am well over that

 

At Rovers Return

Terry: Pint of bitter please

Betty: Well look who the cat dragged in

Terry: You're not looking too good Betty, those wrinkles have got bigger!

Betty: How dare you!

Bet: Enough of that talk Terry. I have kicked you out of this pub before and I won't be shy about doing it again (Des enters)

Des: Is Raquel ready?

Bet: Couldn't you have used the side entrance?

Des: Why? It's not like I have anything to hide

Bet: I'm warning you Des Barnes...

Raquel: Hi Des, I'm ready now, bye Bet

Bet: Bye, don't do anything silly

Terry: That jammy dodger. I see Des Barnes hasn't lost his touch with the ladies

Bet: You better keep your eyes off Raquel or else you'll have me to answer to Duckworth

 

Maud: Where the hell is he?

Blanche: He probably can't bring himself to tell you that he doesn't like you as much as me

Maud: Don't flatter yourself! He likes me better

Blanche: He better come soon because I amn't forking out for another port and lemon (Hilda and Natalie enter)

 

Hilda: Bet, I need to speak to you

Bet: What is it Hilda? If it's about me getting the pub off your friend Natalie, you're wasting your breath.

Hilda: It's nothing to do with that. If anything, you making Natalie homeless has given me and my Stan some lodging money! I want to know if the job as cleaner is still available?

Bet: It certainly is. Do you want it?

Hilda: I sure do, I'll do a great job. You won't regret it

Bet: I better not

 

Kevin: So Terry, what brings you back to Weatherfield?

Terry: My family. I feel that I need to make it up to mam and dad (Kevin laughs) What's so funny?

Kevin: Come on Terry, you never thought about your mam and dad!

Terry: That's all in the past Kev. I have had alot of time to think and I am going to tyr and make up for my mistakes (Percy enters)

 

Percy: Hello ladies, I am dreadfully sorry about my late arrival

Blanche: So you should be

Maud: Take no notice of her Percy. She is so ill mannered

Percy: I better get straight to the point. I called you here to let you know who I harbour feelings for (Maud and Blanche silent) Come in Phyllis

Maud/Blanche: Phyllis Pearce!

Phyllis: Hello! After all these years of trying to seduce him, it finally paid off and was well worth it! (Maud and Blanche in shock)

 

At Delphine's

Raquel: That meal was absolutely delicious

Des: I am glad you enjoyed

Raquel: I still can't get over the fact that you brought me to the poshest restaurant in Weatherfield

Des: You deserve the best Raquel (Raquel blushes) I didn't mean to embarrass you. Look Raquel, I know that I have treated you terribly in the past

Raquel: I'd rather not talk about that

Des: No Raquel, there's a reason why I have to. I was so foolish. I had a real chance of happiness and I threw that all away. What I want to say is that I won't jeopardise our friendship again

Raquel: I am glad to hear it because that's all we are, friends

 

At Rovers

Sally: My My Natalie, how the mighty have fallen?

Natalie: I beg your pardon

Sally: A few weeks ago you owned this place, now you're homeless!

Natalie: For your information, I am not homeless. I am lodging with Hilda

Sally: Well, that's still a far cry from this place

Hilda: I hope I didn't hear what I thought I heard Sally Webster

Sally: Oh Hilda, I didn't know you were there!

Hilda: I bet you didn't because what a short memory you have. There was a time when you and Kevin lodged with me and I didn't hear you complaining. Over the years though Sally, you've degraded yourself. You had a fling with numerous toy boys in a bid to get back at Kevin and then you ended up back with Kevin, who you were seeing behind his wife while his child was dying. In conclusion you are a slut!

Sally: How dare you!

Natalie: The truth hurts, doesn't it?

Sally: If anybody's a slut, it's you Natalie. You've slept with a married man, your husband's brother and had a drug dealer for a son!

Natalie: I have had enough of this! (gets up, goes over to Sally and slaps her in the face)

Hilda: Come on Natalie, lets go. You deserved that Webster!

Sally: Kev! Aren't you going to do anything?

Kevin: Leave me out of this!

 

Outside Rovers

Raquel: Thanks for the lovely evening Des. I really enjoyed myself

Des: I am glad to hear it. We must do it again sometime

Raquel: Yes we must. I better be getting in (Heads towards door of Rovers)

Des: Raquel

Raquel: Yes Des? (Des kisses Raquel) Goodnight Des (Raquel left confused about her feelings)

 

At Rovers

(Blanche and Maud drowning their sorrows)

Maud: Two more vodka and cokes please Betty

Betty: You two are certainly knocking them back this evening

Blanche: You would be too if you found out that you were being rejected for Phyllis Pearce!

Bet: What an eventful evening it has been (Raquel enters)

Raquel: Hi all

Bet: How did it go?

Raquel: We had a lovely evening

Bet: He didn't try anything on did he?

Raquel: No of course he didn't. Des isn't like that

Bet: I beg to differ. Des is the sort of man that fancies anything in trousers

Maud: Hey Blanche, do you fancy heading around to Des Barnes'?!! (They laugh)

Raquel: Ha! Ha! Very funny (Sarcastic) (Raquel leaves)

 

Betty: Nice to see a bit of romance developing. Speaking of romance. Did you hear about Bet's secret admirer?

Maud: No we didn't. What is this about?

Betty: She's been receiving gifts all dat from a mystery admirer. Whoever he is, he must have plenty of money

Blanche: He must

Maud: I think I might know who it is. It's Reg Holdsworth!
