Naomi: "Yes, I've got everything I'm taking packed now. The rest I'm selling. I just don't need it." (both of them look around the house for a moment). Ruth: "So where are you staying?" Naomi: "I've got a younger sister up in Palmerston North. She's got a granny flat at the back of her house that I can use, plus my brother and several cousins are not far either." Last lines of the script: Ruth: "Naomi, I don't want to leave you. I want to come with you and help you." Naomi: "I'm too old to remarry, there's little chance of me getting a new husband. But for you, you're still young and attractive dear. Go; find yourself a new husband. Don't become an old widow like me." (she says hugging Ruth). Ruth: (Close to tears???) "Naomi, don't you understand? I don't care about finding a new husband now. Your family is my family. I'm coming to live with you in Palmerston North." Naomi: "Are you sure this is what you want to do?" "Yes, you're my second mother now. I love you. Where else would I want to be but with you?" (They embrace - end scene).

Joshua: (Grunts…rolls over and hides under pillow.) Wife: It’s time to wake up, sweetie. You promised to take the children swimming this morning. (Takes the pillow off him to fluff and put away.) Joshua: Arrrggghhhh I’m really tired. I didn’t sleep well through the night. Wife: Poor Josh. What is wrong dear? (Sits down on the bed beside husband.) You were tossing and turning all night long. This is so unlike you – you’re usually a man of steel. Nothing fazes you. Joshua: (Sits up now) There’s so much going on at work. I’m so tired, so very tired. I’m really struggling with the pressure. Wife: Tell me all about it, sweetie. Joshua: There’s the new branch opening in Petone next Tuesday. Wife: That’s wonderful news, dearie! (Still going around trying to make the bed.) Joshua: Then there’s a group of potential Japanese investors coming to visit on Thursday – they are worth millions of dollars for the company. Wife: (Fluffing the pillow and still trying to make the bed. She can’t work out why Josh is down about such fantastic thing.) And you’re down because… Joshua: (Sits up suddenly) You remember Simon? Wife: Yeah. Dad’s long time right hand man. Joshua: He’s been helping himself to company funds… Wife: (Taken aback so is now paying attention.) Are you absolutely sure? It’s a big thing to accuse somebody of.unless you have proof, you shouldn’t really say things like that. Joshua: I do have some proof but it’s not just him I’m having problems with. (Slight pause. A little unsure of himself now. ) Quite a few of the longer serving staff have been pretty slack lately. They don’t seem to like the changes I am making. Wife: (Rather indignant about this now.) Can’t they see that you’re a man of great vision and that you’re moving them on? Look at how well the company is doing now……. (Daughter calls for mum. “Mum, where are my goggles? Have you seen my goggles?”) Wife: (Calls out to daughter.) Coming, honey. (Leaves.) Joshua: (Sits up on the bed now and talks to his late dad.) It’s been really hard since you died Your shoes are far too big for me to fill, Dad. I have this vision of where I’d like the company to go and we are kinda getting there. But there are so many problems……….. sometimes, Dad, it is so hard to fly when you’re working with a bunch of turkeys. Dad, I don’t know how much longer I can hold on …………..
