Look, shesaidshe loved me, OK? And I don’t know what gives you the right to get on your fucking high horse – you were banging her mother and cheating on your wife—

BILL SERAFINI

There’s an awkward silence; Hugo gets up and goes to pour himself a glass of water. Camera remains on wide angle.
BILL SERAFINI
Mitch, much as I hate to agree with Alan on anything, I think you do need to tell us what really went down that night.
Because Hugo’s right – it clearly didn’t happen the way you said it did back when we started all this.
MITCHELL CLARKE
I didn’t kill him – I hadnothingto do with it—
BILL SERAFINI
(placatory)
I’m not saying you did. But we do want the truth.
MITCHELL CLARKE
OK, OK.
(takes a deep breath)

JJ NORTON
Must have been a bit of a come down after Dorney Place—
HUGO FRASER
(sardonically)
Well, we already know she liked roughing it—
MITCHELL CLARKE
Piss off, Hugo.
BILL SERAFINI
Ignore him. What happened next?
MITCHELL CLARKE
