Favourite Scene
JOY is stressed and so TONY offers to hypnotise her.
TONY: Now don't be frightened. I'm just going to put you to sleep and whisper some encouraging words in your ear and when you wake up, you'll be splitting your gussets with confidence.
JOY: Well as long as that's all you whisper. I know you.
TONY: Oooh! Disgusting. Now look at me.
A dog starts barking at the window.
TONY: Look I must have absolute quiet.
DIRK goes to the window.
DIRK: Go on, go home. Go home!
TONY: Now look into my eyes. Both eyes and concentrate. Your left leg is feeling very heavy. Your right leg is feeling very heavy. Now concentrate.
The dog starts barking again.
TONY: Shut up.
JOY: Give it a biscuit Simon. In the cupboard.
DIRK goes to feed the dog.
TONY: Joy, you've got to concentrate. Now co-operate! Now you're feeling very sleepy, you're going to sleep. Relax. Relax.
JOY: Just a minute.
JOY finds that she is sitting on an iron.
JOY: Sorry.
TONY: Joy, you're just not co-operating.
JOY: I'm awfully sorry Tony.
TONY: Now. You're feeling sleepy. You're going to sleep. Relax. Relax. You're going to sleep.
JOY: Simon!
DIRK finds TONY stock still in his chair.
JOY: Look!
DIRK: Hey Tony! Tony! C'mon wake up! You've got an exam tomorrow!
JOY goes to stick a pin in his arm but can't bring herself to do it.
DIRK: C'mon. Oh give it here, I'll do it.
HE sticks the pin in and TONY leaps out of his seat.
