OLIVIA: She's your neice?

RUPERT: Yes... you got it all wrong.

OLIVIA: I thought she was your...

RUPERT: I know....

OLIVIA: (PAUSE) You've had me ripping myself to peices, because I let myself like someone for once, and I thought you were.... I hated you Rupert

RUPERT: You wouldn't let me explain! Olivia... I can't stop thinking about you... it's been destroying me, not even being able to talk to you...

Olivia... I love you... Say something. please....

OLIVIA: I've loved you since I met you...

RUPERT: (TO CROWD) Okay you lot, show's over!

OLIVIA: (LAUGHS TO HERSELF) I can't believe you pretended to be Jack...

RUPERT: What?

OLIVIA: (LAUGHING) Sending me a message pretending to be Jack asking me to come to the trailer... I can't believe I fell for it!

RUPERT: Um... that wasn't me?

OLIVIA: Really?

RUPERT: Jack left my trailer just before you arrived...

OLIVIA: What did he want?

RUPERT: I'm not actually sure… He seemed to just be weighing me up... I think someone wants us to be together Liv...

OLIVIA: Oh my... And I've been so horrible to him lately...

RUPERT: Well, the guy seems to like you a lot... I'd say you've got a great friend there

OLIVIA: Yeah, I guess I have...
