FADE IN: EXT. FIELD - DAY A single caravan is standing idle at the side of suburban road.

INT. CARAVAN MAIN ROOM - DAY ADAM, 32, wearing a checkered shirt and a black blazer, is placing plastic candles of various colours around the caravans interior. The deep whir of a microwave is present in the background. CHLOE, 14, wearing jeans and a red t-shirt with a black skull and crossbones print, enters from another room. She walks over to the microwave, opens it and replaces the small packet meal with a bag of popcorn. ADAM Oi! Put that back in! Chloe looks towards the man, but ignores his order. Adam then moves over to the girl. He takes out the popcorn bag, and puts it in the bin. CHLOE Fucks sake dad! ADAM Watch your language. Chloe rolls her eyes, and retracts back into the room from which she enters, slamming the door. Adam pushes himself up to the door, and knocks. ADAM And fucking behave tonight. I wont tell you again. HARLEY, 33, wearing dark blue jeans and a plain red t-shirt, enters the caravan whilst Adam is placing the small packet meal back into the microwave. Harley looks towards Adam and they exchange smiles. She then looks towards a neatly laid table. On the table are two plates, two champagne glasses, a bottle of champagne, and appropriate cutlery.

HARLEY Oh my God, it looks great. ADAM I know. I thought Id make an effort this year. You deserve it. The couple hug each other, and then sit opposite each other at the table. Harley raises her hand, and points to a gold ring round her index finger. HARLEY This time 3 years ago we were getting married. Doesn[U+0092]t seem that long ago does it? How we[U+0092]ve managed to get this far God only knows. But we have, and that[U+0092]s the main thing. 3 years ago, wow. Adam nods, and they both smile. They both then lean in to kiss one another. However, are interrupted by the high pitched beep of the microwave. Adam retracts from the near kiss, and walks over to the microwave. Harley sighs, but keeps her smile. ADAM Sorry, just a few more minutes. Adam sits back down opposite Harley, and they once again lean in to kiss. A loud static noise, then cheering and shouting suddenly emits from the other room, interrupting the kiss, and making Harley jump. Adam slumps back in his seat, and rolls his eyes. But quickly notes Harley[U+0092]s startled look, and gets up from the table, and walks over to the door. Adam knocks three times. ADAM Turn it down please! The volume stays the same. Adam, again, knocks three times, this time more violently. Just as he is about to shout for the second time, Harley quickly gets in between him and the door, and ushers him back to the table. HARLEY Calm down, please. Just ignore it. She wants to get you riled up, so don[U+0092]t let her. This is our special night, okay? (CONTINUED)

Adam nods, but begins to fidget, playing with his hands. All the while the cheering and shouting is still sounding. Soon enough Adam gets up again, standing by the table he shouts for the second time. ADAM Will you shut that fucking racket up?! HARLEY Be quite. Just sit back down. Harley again gets up to calm Adam down, but Adam pushes her back down, and starts towards the door. INT. CARAVAN BED ROOM- DAY Chloe is lying on a badly made single bed. A half drunk coke, and a bag of crisps next to her. Her face is lit by the constantly changing light of the TV. CHLOE Fucking make me shut up, you bastard! INT. CARAVAN MAIN ROOM - DAY Hearing Chloe[U+0092]s challenge, Adam gets on his knees without a moments thought, and begins rummaging through cupboards and drawers. Harley attempts to pull him back up, but is again pushed back. Soon Adam takes out a can of insect repellent. He turns to show the woman with a worrying smile on his face. However, Adam then shakes his head, and places it next to the sink. Adam continues to look through the cupboards and drawers, until he takes out a meat cleaver. Adam smiles, gets up off of the floor, and turns towards the door. The meat cleaver by his side in his right hand, he begins to walk slowly towards the door. Harley[U+0092]s is sitting at the table with her head in her hands. When Adam reaches the door, he stops, and stands still. He drops the meat cleaver, making a short sharp clang. Adam then puts his hands to his ears, and falls to his knees. Harley rushes over to him, and helps him back onto his feet. The couple look at each other, and hug. Hand in hand they turn back to walk over to the table. However, the cheering and shouting comes to a climax as the volume increases, and the microwave joins with a high pitch beeping. (CONTINUED)

Adam lets go of Harley[U+0092]s hand, and looks over his shoulder, then turns round, and runs towards the door. Adam rams the door a few time until it flies open. Adam stares at Chloe, now sitting more upright and looking slightly frightened, then towards the TV, screening a football match. Adam slowly steps over to the TV, and switches it off. Then he walks over to Chloe. Adam pulls her off of the bed and onto the floor. Chloe scrambles to get up, but stays down, clutching her stomach after Adam kicks her. Harley runs over to him, and puts her arms around him, trying to pull him back, but Adam throws her back. Harley hits her back against the wall, and falls down defeated. Adam continues to kick Chloe. ADAM One evening of peace! One fucking evening! And you couldn[U+0092]t even gives us that! Why are you such a bitch!? Chloe coughs and splutters, even after Adam finishes. Adam walks back through the caravan. He stops at the microwave, and opens it to cease the beeping, then carries on until he reaches the table. He sits back down, and slumps in his seat, breathing heavily. FADE OUT. THE END
