Vivienne: I'm going to the studio coming along to watch? Or are you going to just sit here all day!
Helena: In case you haven't noticed I have a mountain of paperwork!
Vivienne: (walks out and sighs).
Helena: (picks up her phone and thinks to herself). What's my home number?
Carol: (walks over and dials it).
Helena: (waits and then stares at Carol) Waiting for something? A bus perhaps?
Carol: (frowns and walks back to her desk).
Helena: Maria...Maria where's the baby?
Carol: (to another employee). Why is she speaking English? the poor woman doesn’t understand a single word she's saying.
Helena: Maria where the fu... (Looks around the room and stops herself). Can someone just...take this call and translate for me or something. I'm losing my bloody mind here! Anyone! (shouts).
Woman: I will take it (walks over and nods as if understanding, before hanging up the phone). The baby is with her sister and she will bring her over in about an hour.
Helena: Thank God for that (sits down in her chair, finally relaxed).

The next day
Vivienne: You didn't have to shout at me like that (plainly).
Helena: Well what was I supposed to do? (Waves her cigarette about). Just fucking sit there while you ruin my show!
Vivienne: Your show? (Raises her eyebrows).
Helena: I meant our show... (Walks forwards placing the cigarette between her lips taking a sharp inhale of smoke).
Vivienne: No you didn't you meant your show. Yours! You! (Points at Helena). Well I'm afraid to break the news to you Helena but the show is called Vivienne Vyle. Is your name in that title, no it cocking well is not!
Helena: Viv come on you're being unreasonable.
Vivienne: Unreasonable. Let’s talk about unreasonable shall we. How about the fact that I don't even get my own bloody parking space anymore. Because some...idiot parks in it every single bloody morning! (Points outside). In their bloody blue beetle car!
Helena: I own a beetle car (stares at Vivienne with her hand on her hip).

Vivienne: Do you? (Looks down trying to act like she never started this conversation).
Helena: Yes...you'll know that when you see the baby seat in the back. And the bottle of vodka in the front.
Vivienne: I beg pardon!
Helena: (exhales cigarette smoke and scratches her head). It was a joke.
Vivienne: (rolls her eyes). I'll just be going now alright? Helena?
Helena: (looks up as she sits down at her desk). You're decision.
Vivienne: Thank you (walks out and shuts the door).
Helena: (closes her eyes and puts her cigarette into an ashtray).

Later that day
Helena: (walks in and chucks her empty cigarette packet across the room).
Jonathon: (looks up from his desk and lifts two pictures).
Helena: (looks over at him and shrugs) something you want?
Jonathon: I can't pass these people to be on the show! Their dangerous people...
Helena: (shrugs again) so what? We have security guards.
Jonathon: (sighs and frowns) there is just no getting through to you is there.
Helena: (to the whole room) does anyone care what you think? (Silence) And can someone please get me a bloody coffee! Before I die from dehydration!

Days later after Helena oversteps the mark with Carol
Jonathon: Now we are all going to sit down...relax and talk this through ok?
Helena: (sits down on a chair and shrugs) whatever!
Carol: See this is why I refused to even do this. She won’t listen. Woman's got a head like a brick wall.
Helena: (looks at Jonathon as if he might stand up for her). Did you hear that?
Jonathon: Yes I heard it. (Silence) Now Carol sit down... (Waits) Sit down.
Carol: (sits down reluctantly).
Jonathon: Good, now we are getting somewhere. (Sighs deeply). Now...we are each going to speak. Have a turn if you will. And then we'll try to compromise yes?
Carol: Ok (looks at Helena and rolls her eyes).
Jonathon: Now Carol...you go first.
Carol: Well...I think how Helena talks to me is very demeaning.
Helena: It is not! (Cuts in).
Jonathon: Helena wait your turn please! Carol... (Clears his throat) You were saying.
Carol: Well it's demeaning and she blabbers on about team all the time...but really she doesn't mean it.
Jonathon: Helena? (Looks towards Helena).
Helena: Oh so it's my turn to speak now! (Sarcastically). Well...I find that everyone here just likes to wind me up. It's like who can wind up Helena the most and make her lash out. Well let me tell you I don't have a problem with anger. I just choose to express my feelings (sits back and stares at Jonathon). Carol? (Looks back at Carol).
Carol: I think you're a stubborn Bitch Helena and you always have been! Ever since I have worked here.

Helena: See (points at Carol) that’s what I get for saying my piece.
Carol: Thought this meeting was about honesty.
Jonathon: Ok...ok that’s enough thank you. Now I want you both to look at each other.
Carol: Are you sure I might turn to stone! (Looks at Jonathon and smirks).
Jonathon: Carol! This it not helping is it?
Carol: I'm just trying to lighten the mood.
Helena: Got a funny way of showing it (pushes her hair back and straightens her blouse).
Jonathon: Look at each other (waits).
Helena: (rolls her eyes and looks at Carol).
Jonathon: Good and Carol.
Carol: (looks at Helena).
Helena: Now what?
Jonathon: (takes each of their hands and puts them together in a handshake).
Helena: (keeps it there but doesn't do anything).
Carol: (shakes her hand and gets up) Can I go now?
Jonathon: You may.
Helena: Good I need another coffee (stands up but Jonathon locks the door). What are you doing?
Jonathon: I want to talk to you alone. I want to find out what's behind all this anger.
Helena: I already told you what was bloody behind it!
Jonathon: I want to talk about your child for a moment. Now sit down please...and then we can carry on.
Helena: (sits down and folds her arms).

Jonathon: Now tell me about your home life.
Helena: It's just me the nanny and the baby. My child is two years old. Can't speak English very well and...Well I can't speak Spanish.
Jonathon: I see.
Helena: (takes out her cigarette packet). And well you can guess the rest. Want one? (Offers packet).
Jonathon: No! I don't smoke.
Helena: (takes one out and places it between her lips). Got a lighter?
Jonathon: Err...no but I have matches. (Hands her the packet).
Helena: (strikes a match and lights it up. Not bothering to shake it until it's almost to her fingers).
Jonathon: (blows it out to be safe).
Helena: You think I'm some mad woman don't you! (Waits and takes a long drag on her cigarette). Don't you?
Jonathon: Well...that isn't quite how I'd describe you no. (Awkwardly).
Helena: Oh? Then how would you describe me? (Puts the cigarette in her mouth).
Jonathon: Misunderstood.
Helena: Good one... (Looks at him and then exhales a thick cloud of smoke).
Jonathon: Helena...do you...do drugs?
Helena: (stares at him and frowns). I beg your pardon.
Jonathon: It's a simple question. You either do drugs or you don't do them...which is it?
Helena: (looks away) sometimes.

Jonathon: And what do you take? If I may ask you...
Helena: Does it matter what I take?
Jonathon: Yes it does.
Helena: (shrugs) this and that.
Jonathon: And you have a baby in the house?
Helena: I don't do it while she is there... (Looks around the room).
Jonathon: So that makes it alright does it?
Helena: No...No of course it doesn't.
Jonathon: Then stop. Get help and stop before it gets way out of hand.
Helena: I have stopped. Since the last time when you know...I haven't had anything. You can drug test me if you want (stubs out her cigarette in an ashtray). I don't care!
Jonathon: What do you care about?
Helena: (shrugs and fiddles with the ends of her hair). I don't know.
Jonathon: Your child?
Helena: Yes...yes of course I care about her. I love her very much. I am her mother you know. I'm not heartless.
Jonathon: And your team?
Helena: I suppose so (looks at her nails).

Jonathon: So what do you think happens when you lash out at those you love?
Helena: I hurt them...but they hurt me too. It's not all one sided.
Jonathon: But the point is you are hurting them.
Helena: (looks around and gets up). Look I have work to do.
Jonathon: (unlocks the door).
Helena: (walks into the office and everyone is staring at her). What? (Throws her hands up in the air). What's everyone looking at!
Jonathon: (walks out and sighs) we have sorted this problem out now. So please just be adult about this.
Helena: (sits down at her desk and looks around).
Jonathon: Helena...you alright? (Walks over and looks at her in concern).
Helena: I'm going outside. (Gets up knocking over her bag).
Jonathon: (sees the packet of pills fall and frowns). Helena!
Helena: I haven't been taking them. If you look it's a full packet.
Jonathon: (hands them back). I won’t force you to do anything you don't want to. But you need to do what's right. Understand?
Helena: Yes...of course I do. I will (takes the packet stuffs it into her bag).
Jonathon: You had better. Or heaven forbid you might not be so lucky next time.
Helena: (walks out and leans against the wall).
