A reverse angle to The One About The Veil. The blind man, MILTON RADCLIFFE, is talking on his mobile. A pint of bitter on the table in front of him, the guide dog at his feet. Elsewhere, CRYSTAL is being hounded by the Landlord for wearing a veil. There are pauses between each line of dialogue, as he listens.
RADCLIFFE
Alright?
RADCLIFFE
What's up?
RADCLIFFE
You alright?
RADCLIFFE
What's happened?
RADCLIFFE
By the Horse and Hound?
RADCLIFFE
Jesus. That's really bad.
RADCLIFFE
Don't worry about that. Leave it
with me. I'll sort it out.
RADCLIFFE
Listen, I know we didn't see eye to
eye. But please tell his family how
sorry I am. Yeah?
RADCLIFFE
No, course it's not. Don't be soft.
MILTON RADCLIFFE finishes the call. Puts the mobile down. Sinks a large part of his pint as CRYSTAL is being escorted from the premises between security officers CONNOR and HAYLEY. She turns to him as she passes.
CRYSTAL
Why don't you do something? It's just ..
It's when people like you just stare, that's
what gets my goat. People who are old
enough to know better.
CONNOR
(To CRYSTAL) Can't you see he's blind?
CRYSTAL
That's no excuse.
RADCLIFFE
(To CONNOR) What's her problem?
