    A Dementia Film

    By

    Freddie Johnson
    EXT: river, Midday

    BETTY is sat down a bench with JOHN next to her, she tears off some bread to feed the
    ducks.

    John
    May I feed the ducks too?

    Betty looks at John likes she’s seen a ghost

    Betty
    Yeah, yeah of course

    Betty hands some bread slices to John, John looks at the bread and takes it

    John
    Thank you

    He starts feeding the ducks

    John
    So how far along are you

    Bettys head slowly turns as looks at him with shock and sadness.

    Betty
    UUUmmmm, (stroking her belly, and looking down) 22 weeks (slowly looks back at John)

    John
    Oh wow, not long now

    Betty
    No, no (starting to cry)

    John
    You must be excited

    Betty
    I am, it’s just really hard with the baby coming and my dad. (Wiping her tears)

    John hands Betty a tissue

    John
    Here

    Betty
    Thanks
    John
    So, what’s wrong with your dad?
    Betty
    He’s got dementia (finding it hard to talk, uses the tissue to wipe her face) , and I don’t know if he
    will ever see my baby boy or not.

    John
    You shouldn’t think like that, you should aways look at the bright side. I’m sure that your dad
    will see your baby boy.

    Betty
    Yeah, maybe your right

    Betty looks at watch and then looks at John, she uses the tissue to wipe her tears away. She
    puts the rest of the bread in her bag.

    Betty
    Well, (sighs) I think it’s time we went home now.

    John is looking confused

    Betty
    Come on dad lets go.

    John looks confused but then realises and then takes her hand and walks off.
