Tim I won’t let you. I’ll be with you wherever you go. Face on a Tamagotchi. Tourist in a kimono. I’ll be there.

Victor No. I’ll cut it out of me.

Nadia I’ll remember. I want to remember.

Nadia takes the Polaroid.

Tim You’ll be sleeping in your tiny room in Japan. An earthquake will begin. You’ll be holding to your bed. Shaking. Shaking. The building will collapse. No food. No water for three days. Voices will call from the rabble in Japanese. You’re going to thank fuck I’m there.

Nadia Here we are. Starting to develop now. I can see Tim. Can you see Tim? Is he still there?

Victor Of course not. You are crazy.

Tim That’s not true. He’s lying.

Victor You see a dead man?

Nadia He’s gone away now. Nothing. There. Something to remember you by.

Scene Eleven

Boardroom.

Nick waits. Enter Jonathan.

Jonathan Hello. I thought it was you. Security guard said: ‘He’s a madman. Or a drunk. Mad drunk. We’ll throw him out. Or call the police.’ And I said: ‘No. I think I know who it is. Send him up.’

Nick You’ve been looking for me.

Jonathan Yes.

Nick You’ve been threatening people.

Jonathan I’ve been persistent.

Nick Threatening people close to me.

Jonathan I wanted to find you.

Nick Why?

Jonathan I think … to hurt you. Punish you. I think that’s what I want.

Nick I deserve that. Here I am. What are you going to do?

Jonathan I’d imagined someone stronger.

Nick Come on. Come on.

Jonathan I’d imagined someone angry and threatening and…

Nick It’s not a trick. Look at me. I’m not gonna fight back.

Jonathan And someone worth fighting. And I’m looking at someone … weak. Lost.

Nick Empty. I feel empty.

Jonathan Yes. I think the world’s rather done the job for me.

Nick You can’t really get much lower can you? There’s not much of me left.

Jonathan Pretty terrible place, the world, isn’t it? When you actually have to live in it.

Nick Horrible.

Jonathan All that confusion. All those people buzzing around hurting each other.

Nick But you get used to it.

Jonathan Exactly – you get used to it.

Nick I found myself thinking; Fuck, I wish I was inside again. Last few days. I’ve been standing there. Watching police cars. Hanging around parked cars when there’s police around. Setting off the alarms. Wah wah wah. Come on please. Put me away. One of you has got to save me.

Jonathan And … ?

Nick Nothing.

Jonathan Where’s a policeman when you need one, eh?

Nick That’s right.

Jonathan It’s good to see you.

Nick Yeah?

Jonathan Now that you’re here, it’s rather nice.

Nick Thanks.

Jonathan And me? Are you … ?

Nick Yeah. Pleased to see you.

Jonathan Nostalgia’s a tricky bitch isn’t she? But really now, just at the moment, I feel rather nostalgic about the time we spent together.

Nick I came to say sorry.
