Young Love: Three

Gail

Carl?

Carl

What?

Gail

Would you rather have a red washing-up bowl and a red washing-up bowl, brush I mean, or a brown washing-up brush, I mean bowl, and a brown washing-up brush, or a yellow washing-up bowl and a brown washing-up brush?

Carl

Why?

Gail

Just wondered?

Carl

We want to be investing in paintings, us.

Gail

Picture paintings?

Carl

Yeah. Something with elephants.

Gail

I don’t really like elephants, Carl.

Carl

Well, you say what’s to be on t’painting, then.

Gail 

I know, let’s have a painting of digestive biscuits, cos’ we both like them don’t we, Carl?

Carl

No, it’s got to be something like some scenery.

Gail

All right, then, some digestive biscuits and a Alp.

Carl

All right, but they’d better be chocolate.

Gail

Why are they called Alps, Carl?

Well, people go ski-ing on them, and fall off, don’t they? And they go ‘Help Help’ but it sounds like ‘Alp’ cos they all have ear-muffs on.

Gail 

You’re dead clever, you. You should have gone to – where is it, they have scarves?

Carl

Oxford and Cambridge.

Gail

Yeah, you should have gone there.

Carl

For three years?

Gail

Yeah.

Carl

And loose all t’good will on the window-cleaning?

Gail

Never thought of that, Carl.
