MUSIC: Area Codes by Kaliii

HE WHISPERS: Very retro.

How much do you want this?

What's taking so long?

Here.

Mm. Very retro.

Two seconds.

MOANING

Oh, yeah!

SHE PANTS

What's your name again?

Them nails are gonna take you from virgin to vixen.

Virgin? Kyazike, I have had sex, you know.

Yeah, but you're more on the vanilla side.

Vanilla? Hmm, me?

If only you knew what I've been getting up to.

With who? You and Tom been having a lickle make-up sexy?

No. No, no, we're done. Wow!

For now. I'm really glad that you've accepted that one.

Wait, w... How long have you thought it was done?

Listen, let's not get into the ins and outs of mandem's past.

Who you been fucking, sis?

I'll tell you later.

Anyway, I'm fine. Don't worry about me.

I'm out here living my best life.

OK. And you're not letting them bareback?

You know, they're strapping up, right? Yeah.

INTERNALLY: Sometimes.

Kay.

Are you gonna be able to handle those?

Yeah. Can handle anything. I'm a...

I'm a pro.

MUSIC: Reggae Man by APM

Hi, Grandma!

How you mean, "Hi, Grandma"?

Queenie! We never expect you.

The boiler's broken and, um, I have to have a bath before I go out.

The water rates, Queenie!

WOMAN: Queenie, I won't be long.

THUD

Let me wash your back. Grandma, Grandma, Grandma!

Grandma, please. SHE LAUGHS

I've seen it all before, Queenie! Hmm.

And if you don't mind me saying,

my form at your age...

..was a lot finer than yours.

Oh, ow.

I do mind you saying that, actually.

INTERNALLY: Oh, no, she's seen the love bite. She's gonna start.

Looks like you and your friend are back on.

Not the response I expected.

No.

No, we're not.

What's that saying about letting something go free

and it coming back to you? GRANDMA CHUCKLES

We don't have such a saying in Jamaica. Hmm.

We all know heartache, but life goes on, Queenie,

and you, you'll be just fine.

Why don't you talk to your mother about all this?

She's soft like you.

Should've known.

Better with all this heart stuff.

Like you said Grandma,

I'll be fine.

Better to bury it all the way down.

PHONE WHISTLES

Queenie, you ready?

Um, I'm just stepping out now, Grandma.

I'll come by later in the week.

How you mean? Come in here and say goodbye properly.

No, no, no, Grandma. My car's here.

GRANDMA SCREAMS

Heavenly Father!

What mistake did I make in life that my granddaughter would think

that it is suitable to dress in a way that shames her grandmother

and gives her grandfather a heart attack? Bye, Grandma.

Bye, Grandad.

Call the ambulance on your way out!

DANCE MUSIC PLAYS

Woo-ooh-ooh!

I should've listened to Darcy when she was explaining the dress code.

It's amazing that The Daily Reader has budget for Halloween

at the skate rink but no Black History Month content.

Ugh. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm... I'm sorry.

Oh!

Shit! Sorry, love.

Hey, you.

Or should I say "Hugh"?

HE CHUCKLES Yeah.

Oh, you're funny, aren't you?

Mm, so I've heard.

And you're...

..really good looking.

Yeah, you're not too bad yourself.

Oh.

I'm, um... I'm Guy, by the way.

Um, I'm Queenie.

Whoa! Oh!

SKELETON LAUGHS CREEPILY

Well, it looks like we came in matching costumes, then.

Oh, so you didn't, um, want to dress as something scary either?

I don't know, some people might find Hugh Hefner a bit scary.

But no, I was actually at another party, and then I came here.

Mm.

Glad I did, though.

Yeah?

Oh, yeah.

Looks like I've caught myself a Playboy bunny.

SHE CHUCKLES

Excuse me.

Hi! Hi.

Hi. Hi. I've been looking for you.

Yeah, I just, um... I was a bit caught up, um...

But I'm here now. What... What do you need me to do?

Well, half the skaters are already gone, Queenie.

I needed you to get them to sign release forms.

It's fine. Just go get the forms,

and I'll get them back. No, no, it's fine.

It's fine. Enjoy yourself.

I need to carry on working.

It's not often I ask for your help.

Darcy... Da...

SHE EXHALES What were you saying?

Ooh, thank you.

For the Dutch courage.

Thirsty, then? Yeah.

Do you wanna come back to mine?

Um, yeah. Now?

Fuck yeah! Let's go.

INTERNALLY: Bringing him back to mine feels a bit risky.

Maybe I should've pushed him out at the traffic lights.

Or...maybe not.

Ah. Easy.

You're so sexy. I just can't control myself around you.

Ooh!

Come on. QUEENIE GIGGLES

You ready for this?

As I'll ever be.

Aye, aye, Captain.

Is it rude if I ask him to move to the left a bit?

You loving this?

Nearly.

Mm-hm, yeah.

I need to hear you say, "Yes, sir."

Is this army roleplay?

Ow!

Y-Yes, sir. Yes, sir!

Again.

SLAP Let's go!

SLAP Ow!

HE MOANS

Tom was never that...commanding.

Maybe that's the kind of thing I like.

I think that was fun.

Yeah, that was fun.

I hope you know we're gonna be doing this a lot.

Oh, are we?

Sure, OK.

That's OK. I didn't need to be warm anyway.

So, then we woke up properly, had sex again three more times.

It's more than Tom could ever manage.

INTERNALLY: Even though just the once with Tom was always so nice.

Three? I remember the days me and Simon used to have regular sex,

and even then it would only ever be once a session.

And you know, on the third time, we almost, almost...

..did anal.

Why almost?

Well, it's on my list of things to do

but, like, I'm not there just yet.

I've done anal, you know?

No, you haven't.Yeah, I have. SHE GIGGLES

Only on Valentine's Day, though. Ooh!

It's my annual gift to Simon.

Oh, you dark horse. So, anyway, the next day he messages me, OK?

Because I thought it was just a one-time thing,

but, Darcy, he just keeps coming back.

Well, do you think this might turn into something serious?

No .No. It's a thing. I mean, I'd...

I'd say it's a thing rather than a serious thing.

Well, congratulations on your first situationship. Thank you.

Oh, would we call it that just yet?

I mean... Pfft.

I just keep picturing how sick Tom is gonna look

when he sees me walking down the street with his upgrade.

Mm, yeah. Um...

Queenie, I'm not sure how healthy it is that your focus here is on Tom.

I'm not. I... I'm...

I haven't... I wasn't even thinking about him.

If you're sure. Mm-hm.

Sorry, can I just grab you a second?

Yeah.

No. You, I am going to stop for a moment. OK.

Drop.

Queenie, advice.

Mm-hm.

My-My mother, t-terrifying woman, by the way,

and never wrong, always used to say,

"Keep one foot on the ground when two are in the air."

What? Like... What, like a...

Like a tripod? I've only got two feet, Gina.

Ah, you're not hearing me. Well, you've been coming into work late,

tired, wearing the same outfit two days in a row.

I know Darcy's been covering for you.

This woman doesn't miss anything.

Just slow down, Queenie.

I'm not being fast. OK, well, however you're being...

..is this you?

Why don't you take a couple of days off?

Go away for a long weekend, really give yourself a proper break.

Why does she think I can afford to do that?

I'm OK. It-It's...

It's better for me to come to work. I'm not good sitting down at home

with nothing to focus on.

That's when the demons come knocking, so...

OK, well, the offer stands.

And trust me,

you are going to have to face up to those demons at some point.

And until then, I have alcohol.

Just walk with me. It's fine. Darcy, it's not that...

Sorry. I'm fine, Darcy. Hi, Ted? Hi. Sorry.

Um, I think she might've had an allergic reaction to something.

No, Darcy, it's fine. Can you just...

Look, can you just watch her while I get some water?

Yeah, sure. Thank you. Sorry. Oh, sure.

Honestly, I'm... OK, OK. Are you OK?

I'm so good.

You...sure, mate?

Yes. Yes, I'm fine. I'm...

I'm good. Hey, oi, it's all right.

Let's get you home, eh?

Sure. Um... Um, tell me.

It's, um...

It's 13B Renaissance Road.

No.

No, that's... SHE SIGHS

That's Tom's place.

Don't type that in. Um...

OK.

It's 34 Osbourne Road.

Um...

Ted, can you just... Can you figure out the rest, cos... Yeah, OK.

Yeah. Right, let's, um... Let's get you some air, all right? Yeah.

We're gonna work it out outside. Come on. OK.

There we go.

All right. Hold on. All right.

All right? Here we go. Mm-hm. I'm gonna take you home, yeah?

No.

They're gone? Yeah.

OK.

MUSIC: I'm Not Perfect (But I'm Trying) by Rachel Chinouriri

Watch your step.

I'm just gonna take your shoes off, all right?

Ted? Yeah?

I can't sit on the bed in my outside clothes.

Oh, OK. OK. All right. All right.

Oh!

You good?

All right.

Oh, OK. All right.

HE MUMBLES TO SELF

BELL RINGING KNOCKING ON DOOR

SHE GROANS

"Drink a lot of this and take those"?

"See you Monday. Kiss."

PHONE BUZZES

SHE SIGHS

BELL RINGS

KNOCKING ON DOOR

Fuck.

You forgot you was meant to be looking after me today, innit?

No, I didn't.

Why would you think that? SHE SUCKS TEETH

God forgive me if I vomit on this small girl.

You not gonna get dressed, nah?

Nope.

Cuz, you know you ain't got no food in your yard?

Cos man don't eat here much still.

Ew. Is that how they used to speak in the '80s?

The '80s? What? I was born in the '90s.

Wait, how old do you think I am? Mm.

All right, cool. Relax. Relax.

Well, do you wanna go to a restaurant or something?

No. Grandma gave us money to eat, innit?

Oh. So Grandma probably knows that I'm broke too.

Food's here. Already? This girl don't mess about.

TV BLARES

MAN ON TV: So when I was a little you,

everyone used to call me Fireman....

Yeah... Yeah, yeah, yeah.

MESSAGE TONE

Why you airing your mum?

It's personal. You wouldn't understand.

I'm 15. I understand everything.

You, on the other hand, your life's looking a bit...

..messy.

No, it's not.

Really?

Maybe she's right.

Time to set some intentions.

Now that I'm in this thing with Guy,

I need to put the dating apps on ice for a bit.

Don't drink, especially on an empty stomach.

Don't vape either. You're literally sucking a battery.

Also need to stop thinking about To...

..men, and instead, spend actual real-life time

with my friends, rather than updating them

with all my sexual moves in the group chat.

This is quickly becoming The Queenie Show.

Kyaz... Kyaz.

Do you know how cold it is? You lot are jokers.

I've been standing here chattering my teeth like a dickhead.

You lot take the piss.

Hold on a second. Why are you all in heels?

Oh, it's so nice to meet you in IRL.

You never told me she was so friendly.

This is going well.

And how do you pronounce your name again? Kyazike.

Right. So it's like Cesca, like Francesca?

No. It's like my name, not the Western one.

Right, OK. Come on then, fashion killers.

We need to find a good spot in the park before

the fireworks start, so... Yes. ..let's, uh...

Look, I think realistically, bar?

Nope. I know where we're going. Let's go, girls.

Let's, let's go.

Kay.

Call me later, yeah? Yeah, yeah.

Kyaz. And how are you and your boyfriend, Darcy?

Oh, yeah. Good, thanks.

Um, we actually moved in together a couple of months ago.

Still a few teething problems,

but I'm sure we'll be all right. You know?

Interesting. And how long have you been together?

Uh, well, coming up six years.

Wow. Hear that, Queenie?

Six whole years and they're still having teething problems.

Maybe next time you should wait

a bit longer before moving in with a partner.

Oh, well, I'm not really sure it's the same thing.

Sorry. I'm not being mean, just being practical.

You must have a man, then? Since you're the relationship expert.

I do, actually.

What? What, a whole... a whole boyfriend? You kept that quiet.

Yeah, well, it happened very quickly.

But when you know, you know. You know?

You're right. Come on.

I told him I wasn't expecting to meet someone so forward,

and he laughed and asked me if we wanted to go for coffee.

So we did. Mm.

And, uh, no girlfriend drop, which obviously, I was waiting for.

Anyway, so coffee turned into dinner,

and then dinner turned into him walking me home. Ooh.

He walked her home?

What if I wanna live in the romcom Cassandra's in?

What's the girlfriend drop?

OK. It's when a man, even if he's the one who approached you,

has to find a way to let you know he has a girlfriend.

So like, "See how the sky is blue?

"That's my girlfriend's favourite colour."

CHUCKLING: Right, OK.

Or like,

"I can't tell you the time right now

"because my girlfriend's borrowing my watch."

Yeah. Thanks, Kyazike.

Oh. Thank you.

This is gonna put hairs on your chest. What is it?

Don't think, just drink.

Mm-hm.

Oh. That's strong.

Anyway, so, we have so many common interests.

It's actually one of the strongest connections

I've ever had with a man.

Second time we had sex, Guy told me he was a BDSM king.

I'd much rather a connection king, to be honest.

I've also decided not to have penetrative sex with him.

Oh. OK.

Why are you denying yourself like that?

I'm not denying myself of anything.

Queenie, didn't you say you were seeing someone?

Really? No. What? No.

The anal guy? I mean, nobody special, just a few very non...

non-special guys. It's not even worth talking about.

But you know, just, the sex is, uh, the sex is good.

Hmm. He could slow down on the domination and submission stuff.

You still feel like this is the best way to distract yourself?

Well, it's better than doing yoga with you. I nearly died last time.

Why don't we start dating black guys, Queenie?

Like, throw some melanin in the mix.

It's not as easy as that.

Look, I'm sure we're all very sex positive,

but maybe sex isn't the best way

to feel better about yourself, you know?

This "spending time with real-life friends" thing is really backfiring.

Do you know what, guys? I'm good.

Sex is not the only thing that I'm doing, OK?

Can we just watch the fireworks?

OK. Well, as long as you're happy.

I'm happy.

Well. I will be...

..one of these days.

Kyazike, I love your shoes.

Thank you, Cassandra. You know what?

I'm gonna hook you up with my shoe guy.

Don't ask where they came from,

just know that they're mainly legit. Promise....

I'll get him to be gentle this time.

More...

..intimate.

HE SIGHS

I thought you were gonna stay over.

Why would I stay? I'm not your boyfriend.

Wow. And there I was secretly hoping that this fun might turn into

more than just fucking.

Yeah, you're right.

Well, that was fun.

Let me know when you wanna do it again.

Yeah, sure thing.

HE SLAPS HER

Who knew having fun would stop being fun so quickly?

Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.

SHE GRUNTS

This isn't what I signed up for.

So, what have you been up to since I last saw you?

How do I answer that one?

Just, you know, just the usual.

Now let's look at getting this coil out

and replacing it with another one.

Is the new one gonna work?

SIGHS

Ow.

Queenie, there's quite a lot of vaginal tearing.

Too much for me to feel comfortable continuing.

What?

Has something happened, Queenie?

No... No, I had, I had sex... last night, but...

I'm sorry to ask this so frankly, but...

..are you in an abusive relationship, Queenie?

I would never be that person.

I would never be like her.

WOMAN LAUGHING

MAN: I told you how much I hate it when you do that.

WOMAN: What, laugh?

Do you think I find it funny?

Sorry, Roy. Uh, Queenie, go upstairs.

No... No, let her stay down here since she loves her mother so much.

No, no. Please.

Please, what?

No, sh... she's my daughter, Roy.

GASPS, PANTS

Mum?
