Scene 1: Robert’s playing video games since he hadn’t wanted to go to Hotten with Sarah (too boring) and he doesn’t want to help Jack on the farm either when he asks (even more boring). When Andy pops by, it’s Robert’s chance to get out of the house.

Jack: You could always spend the morning helping me on the farm.

Robert: That’d be even more boring than going shopping.

Jack: You never used to think so.

Robert: People change. Like you and mum. You’d never used to row all the time.

Robert: I’d rather go with Andy.

Jack: Well I guess anything is more fun than staying here with me.

Scene 2: Robert and Andy are at the caravan ready to build a fire. Billy isn’t around of course. Robert tells Andy about his parents are always fighting. Well Robert’s best not to be a part of it Andy says. Instead they can have great times together as long as Robert doesn’t tell them about his situation.

Andy: You won’t spray on me will ya?

Robert: Course not...

Andy: So you’ve got to swear. Whatever happens that me and you will stick together. We’d be like blood brothers.

Robert: I swear.

Andy: I knew you wouldn’t let me down.
