HARRY
Fancy Donna with a grown-up
daughter!

SOPHIE
Have you got any children, Harry?

HARRY
No I haven't put myself in the path
of paternity

SOPHIE
It's never too late

HARRY
I don't think my other half would
agree

SOPHIE
Oh - you don't want children?

HARRY
No, no, it's not like that It's just that:
: well, I'd have liked a daughter I'd
have spoiled her to bits

SOPHIE
Lucky thing

HARRY
Is your Dad here?

SOPHIE
I don't know

HARRY
What?

SOPHIE
I don't know who my Dad is

GIRLS
Is there a man out there?
Someone to hear my prayer:

BILL
Can I be nosey, I'm a writer so it
goes with the territory

SOPHIE
Go on

BILL
How did your mother get this place?
When I knew her
she was singing in a night-club on
the mainland

SOPHIE
She was left some money, in a will
We lived with an old lady when I
was little Her name was Sophia?

BILL
What, my Great-Aunt Sophia?

SOPHIE
I think it must be

BILL
But: I always heard her money
went to: family:
Wait a minute - how old are you?

SOPHIE
Twenty

GIRLS
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
