Ruby: I can't do this any more
Jay: Do what?
(Ruby suddenly stops walking)
Ruby: You know what! (Jay looks at her) This, act like everything's normal when it ain't
Jay: What's not normal about it?
Ruby: Your Stacey's boyfriend, i'm her best mate, we fancy each other that's it and here we are trying to pretend it is something when it's not
(Jay pulls her into a corner)
Jay: What if it is?
(Awkward silence)
Ruby: What if it's not? (Jay looks away) We need to talk about this, what Stacey said yesterday made me realise we cant do this. (Jay goes to walk off) Look like i said we need to talk about this, dad's going to the vic tonight why don't we meet in there, say about eight? (Jay turns around)
Jay: Can't
(Ruby looks confused)
Ruby: why not?
Jay: Taking Stacey to see a film
Ruby: Well, what time will you be back?
Jay: Bout nine, could meet you in the vic then?

Daryl: You alright Jay? (Jay looks frightened) Told you i'd be back. (The three boys laugh, Jay looks down and see's Daryl holding a knife. Then Jay looks scared as Daryl moves closer) Did you honestly think you'd get away with grassing on your mates!
(Jay shakes his head and starts to back away.)
Jay: no, no this has not got to be a winde up...right?
(The boys look at each other)
Scene Changes to Ruby in the vic staring at the clock. [9.06] Then to Dot, Johnny, Danny and Jake at the bar.
Danny: pint please Chrissie, ere is it true what their saying about that Vonreco di marco?
Chrissie: what's that Danny?
Danny: well apparently he tried to top himself?
Johnny: yeah i heard that to, surely it's not true though, he always seemed so...well level headed.
Dot: oh i do wish you lot wouldn't gossip, idel gossip is a sin. Vonreco is a neighbour and a friend, he's lived in walford for the best part of thirty years and whether it is true or not he does not deserve to be gossiped about like this. He ain't had an easy life, him or that boy of his see you lot wern't around this time last year for Tanya's funeral, that's Jason's mum you see, and Vonreco's wife and you didn't see what it done to them being at that funeral. It destroyed Vonreco having to bury the only woman he ever really loved, and as for Jason growing up without a mum, then her being back, now her being dead well it's no wonder he's confused. so who could blame Vonreco if he had done something stupid and you lot, you lot ought to be ashamed of yourselves gossiping about it.
(Dot walks off, then Johnny looks at Danny)
Johnny: You know she's right Danny.
(Johnny walks back over to Ruby)
Johnny: Thought you were supposed to be meeting Jay?
(Ruby looks at the clocked [9.14], then down looking upset)
Ruby: so did I
Scene Changes to the square - camera moves along to reveal Jay laid on the floor unconscious and bleeding.
Scene Changes back to the vic - with Ruby sat in the corner looking around
Then Back to the square where Jay is beginning to regain consciousness. He lets out a cry of pain as he rolls over and starts struggling to breathe.
Scene Changes back to the vic with Jake, Danny and Alfie drinking in the corner.
Jake: shall i get another round in?
Alfie: No, not for me i think i'm gonna go back and check on nana
Danny: oh come on Alfie, stay for another one
Alfie: No, i don't like leaving nana on her own and besides i've got to be up early on the stall tomorrow
Jake: looks like it's just you and me then Danny.
(Jake gets up and walks towards the bar, then Alfie stands up and puts on his coat)
Danny: You need to learn to have more fun Alfie and not be such a boring old man
(Alfie looks across the room and see's Little Mo)
Alfie: Yeah don't i know it (Jake comes and sits back down) right well i'll see you two later
Jake: yeah see you, Alfie
Danny: see ya
Alfie walks out the vic door and looks across the square, then he starts to walk home suddenly he hears some movement like rustling of trees, then Jay starts coughing so Alfie looks and see's Jay laid on the floor next to Arthur's bench. He runs over to him
Alfie: Jay, Jay are you alright, mate what's happened, Jay! (suddenly Alfie looks down and see's a knife poking out of Jay's side) Oh no, oh my god right Jay just stay still (Alfie stands up) just don't move, i'm going to get help ok. (He runs off towards the vic)
As he enters the vic Alfie shouts to Chrissie
Alfie: call an ambulance
