TONY
“With school being out, I’m losing some of my best customers for the summer.”
PHILIP
“How’s that?”
TONY
“Summer holidays. Kids need some time to get away, so you can’t really blame ’em.”
The word from the street
PHILIP
“When are you going to Vancouver?”
TONY
“Well I’ve got to make some money first. The bus is pretty expensive, but I think it’s less expensive than the plane.
“Anyway, my nephew says he can get some work for me so I can make some extra money for the trip.”
PHILIP
“So when are you going?”
TONY
“Depends. I’ve got to get the money first. But I can tell you I need a holiday — haven’t had one in ten years. Plus I’ve never seen the ocean.”
PHILIP
“Never in your whole life?”
TONY
“Nope. Never have; always wanted to. This is my chance; I’ve gotta do it.”
TONY
“I think it’s time for a holiday for me.”
PHILIP
“I’ve never heard you say that before … where are you going?”
TONY
“I’m gonna go out to Vancouver. I’ve got a friend and he’s going out there for a job with a bus line. He figures I could get some work there with him too. Anyway, I haven’t had a holiday in a while.”
