Episode 4 - If Only Life Was Simple

 

     
 

Ah, Sim Street, a quiet place, a place where, on the outside, life seems simple and easy. But on the inside, it's where secrets lurk and nothing is what it seems. Of course, nothing would be like this if it hadn't been for the arrival of the Smith family.

 
   
 


 

 
   
 

Kerry: Hiya Lauren. Listen, thanks for giving me this job here. I know I've got the cafe but it's been going downhill for months.
Lauren: It's no problem. Glad to help.
Kerry:
So have you returned the letters yet?
Lauren: Yep, I went over earlier tonight, they were all in the garden so I just popped in and laid them on the coffee table. Nobody noticed a thing.
Kerry: Okay, well it still puzzles me what they did.
Lauren: Yeah, me too. Anyway, you can stop now, the place is empty tonight. Just tidy up and go home, nobody else will be in tonight.
Kerry: Yep, fine, if that's what you say.

 
   
 
 
 
   
 

Angel: What are they talking about?! Hmm, sounds like the Smiths have some secret. I wonder what it possibly could be?

 
   
 
 
 
   
 

8.12am
Marie: Listen Steve, I'm off shopping. I need new clothes before we go speed dating next week. You ought to come, your needing some new stuff too.
Steve: No it's okay, I'll just stay here. You go on ahead
Marie: No, your coming, I'll drag you there if I have too!
Steve:
No, I can't go. I'm erm... urm... not feeling well, yeah that's right, I'm not feeling well.
Marie: Yeah whatever. Just you stay there. You can turn up to the speed dating in old, ripped, stinky clothes.

 
   
 
 
 
   
 

Marie has left for the town centre.
Steve:
(Laughs) Ha! I'm feeling fine, couldn't be better.

 
   
 


 

 
 

Steve: I just ain't going shopping when I can be sat here watching TV!

 
   
 
 
 
   
 

Mike: Listen Angel, I told you not to call here. This is too suspicious, Lynda is still onto me.
Angel: I'm sorry, I just have something to tell you, it's important!
Mike: Well forget it! I don't want to hear. Don't call here again.

 
   
 
 
 
   
 

Lynda: This is it. You have some cheek phoning her. You said you'd leave all that behind but you just can't. Who the hell is she then? What does she have that I don't?! Tell me Mike! Don't just stand there.
Mike: She phoned here, I'm telling her to get lost!
Lynda: Well try harder Mike.

 
   
 


 

 
   
 

Lynda: And another thing! You can stop rubbing it in Mike. I still love you but all you can do is rub my face in it with phone calls from her and the smell of her perfume on your clothes!
Mike: I still love you Lynda, I'm sorry, it's just...

 
   
 
 
 
 

Lynda: Just what?! Listen Mike, there's no excuse. If I hear you talking about her again then I'm leaving and taking the kids with me. I'll divorce you and leave you penniless. This is the last warning Mike. One more time and I'm outta here!

 
   
 
 
 
 

Kelly has been chatting on MSN Messenger for the past hour. She is waiting for Kevin, the guy who she has been speaking to secretly for the past few weeks, to come online. The doorbell rings.

 
  Kelly: Hi
Kevin: Hey, your Kelly, right?
Kelly: Yeah, why? What'd you want?
Kevin: It's me, Kevin, I'm the mystery guy. I'm who you've talking too secretly for the past few weeks.
Kelly: Oh! Hiya, come here you.
 
   
  Kelly: So what brings you to Sim Street then?
Kevin: I just wanted to see you. Oh, and it was a nightmare finding your address.
Kelly: Oh, sorry. Anyway, what do you want to do now your here?
Kevin: We need to talk, let's go for a walk shall we?
 
     
  Lexi: Hey Steve, is Marie around?
Steve: Nah, she's away speed dating. What do you want her for?
Lexi: Just a girly chat that's all. There's nothing much else to do.
Steve: Come and sit then, we can talk.
Lexi: Are you good at talking about make up and all things girly then?
Steve: No! But I'm better than nothing.
 
 
Steve: So, why are you really here then?
Lexi: I said, I'm here to see Marie.
Steve: Yeah right. You never talk to her normally.
Lexi: I was desperate.
Steve: Nothing changes there then!
 
     
  Lexi: So, what's this we're watching?
Steve: Sshhh, we're missing the action
Lexi: Well sorry.

 
     
  Ken: Honey, where's the letters that were on the coffee table?
Karen: They're still there, look.

Ken: Look, they aren't there!
Karen: Well I haven't touched them.

 
     
  Karen: Look, they're on the coffee table, you must have misplaced them.
Ken: I definitely didn't put them there, I put them on the side table.
Karen: Well I haven't moved them, honestly.
Ken: I know, you haven't, you would have told me if you did.
Karen: Yeah see, but I don't see what the big deal is.
Ken: Well, nobody else could have moved them, the kids have been out all day. Somebody's been in the house. Somebody has read these letters that shouldn't have.
Karen: Don't be silly.

 
     
  Ken: No, somebody has definitely read and moved these, and if it wasn't you or the kids, then it was somebody who shouldn't have.
 
     
  Ken: And I'm going to find that person and I'll make sure they regret ever breaking in and reading these
