Helen Alright then. Alright. Ruined everything. With your gestures. Your anger. So, leave me to live with that. And you see if you can hold on to Nadia. But it looks to me like Nadia is a child and I don’t think she’s going to want you for very much longer. But hey – it could be fun for a while. So change and grow – you cunt.

Exit Helen. Enter Victor followed by Nadia.

Nadia Victor. Please. Where did you go – just ran away?

Victor No.

Nadia You disappeared.

Victor I think London is a shitty place. I think it is time for me to move on. And I think Tokyo is much better. Absolutely fucking crazy.

Nadia If that’s what you want.

Victor Yes. I think I will be model in Tokyo and I will have my own TV show. And one day I will take many drugs and die in the snow in the mountains. I get my money.

Victor exits.

Nick Sweetheart.

Nadia You’re still there. I’d wiped you out. Past tense.

Nick Please. I love you.

Nadia And what does that mean, Nick? It means you want to stay because all the other stuff in your life is too frightening.

Nick No.

Nadia Because all the stuff out there is frightening and if you say ‘I’m in love with you’ then it’ll be like a charm and all the nasty stuff won’t get to you.

Nick You reckon?

Nadia I’m letting you go.

Nick Letting me go so you can move on and change and grow as a person?

Nadia No. I don’t need the bullshit. And I don’t need you anymore. What I want is to be on my own. Anything else is just running away. Deal with the nasty stuff okay? I saw what you did. To that man.

Nick Which…

Nadia To that man’s body. Deep scars. I felt so sorry for him, I would have slept with him.

Nick And what did you … ?

Nadia You must talk to him.

Nick And if I did … would you …

Nadia No. I don’t want you back. Don’t do it for that. Do it.

Nick Yes.

Nadia You’re going to talk to him?

Nick Yes. There’s nothing left. I’m going to talk, to him.

Enter Victor.

Nadia Good.

Victor Bye, Mr Socialist.

Exit Nick.

Victor I go to airport. Find a guy to take me to Japan.

Nadia I’ll miss you.

Victor No. You forget me tomorrow. Close your eyes and you won’t be able to picture this face.

Nadia I will.

Victor You want to take Polaroid?

Nadia Yes.

Victor produces a Polaroid camera from his bag. Poses for Nadia. Enter Tim.

Tim Baby. I want you. I got frightened. Angry because I was ill, but I’m free now. Dead and free and I can tell you what I feel. I love you baby.

Victor I will forget you.

Nadia No Victor.
