Scene One

It is the third full day of the girls’ holiday. They have been there for three nights already. 3 p.m. Tulisa’s ‘Young’ is playing in the background. Jis in the bathroom. ALEXand BIMare sat on one of the beds drinking rosé out of mugs. They also have a bottle of Sambuca, vodka and bottle of a mixer. They are dressed in the clothes they slept in. Matching pyjamas is not a thing for the girls. Pyjamas for them consist of T-shirts, shorts, long strap tops – anything that covers them without outdoing the benefits of air-conditioning. The room looks lived-in, messy, though not dirty. Not wanting to unpack, they use their suitcases as their wardrobe, which their clothes are now spilling out of and clothes they have previously worn or have tried on and discarded are also all over the room. Make-up and hair accessories are also out. There is a makeshift money jar somewhere in the room, visible to the audience, and there are already some euros in it. The girls are supposed to be getting ready to go out, though drinking has taken precedence over actually getting dressed. BIMis drinking at a faster pace than ALEX,who nurses the same drink throughout their conversation.

ALEX. Had he finished?

BIMis silent.

So, you literally just got up and ran? Did you even say bye? BIM. Did I even know his name? He didn’t need a bye. ALEX. I’m actually done.

BIM. I was too, that’
