LV Scene 6 Flashcards
Scene 6
I’m just seeing if the wires are alright!
Do you get out much?
No
Are you a telly fan?
No
Are you going anywhere for your holidays?
No
Look, I’m not really checking the wires. There are no wires.
What?
I should be up a telegraph pole three streets away, but I came here.
I don’t know what to say now.
I’m like this as work too and then when I do speak everyone look at me like I’ve dropped a brick in a bucket. I’m Billy – can I ask you your name?
LV
Does that stand for something?
Little Voice.
Because of your soft voice.
I think it’s more that no one can ever hear me.
I can.
Your mum’s a bit - I mean, wow!
Yeah
I live with my grandad - it’s very quiet.
I live in a mad house.
Little Voice, I don’t know what’s come over me. I’ve not been able to rest till I could see you again. I’ve only been like this once before and that was when I first saw the Blackpool illuminations.
Do you by any chance like light illuminations, LV? I only ask coz it’s the one thing I can really talk about.
I’ve got grandad’s shed on the allotment and Iv’e blacked out all the windows so I…no, I’ll say no more. It can be very dull to the non enthusiast.
No, no - go on.
You’re sure?
Inside that shed, when I throw a switch, LV, light. Up the walls. Off the ceiling, caught light, bent light, colours, colours coming up and colours you’ve never seen! Shades to make you happy, sad, shades which make you (lets out appropriate noise – loud enough to shock LV) Sorry!
No it’s ok.
So sorry.
Ok.
I don’t know what it was but since I saw the Blackpool lights, I’d only play with torches and christmas tree lights. I spent my youth with the curtains closed, helpless as a moth! Only thing is, I’ll never show. My grandad says I should do the lights down the club, you know Boo’s place. But after telling you, maybe I will. If I did the lights, would you come and see them LV?
I don’t know. I don’t go out.
Would you think about it? I really would be so honored. If you could just see them LV. It would mean…
Sorry I got to go.
The lights, LV!
