... the scene: Somewhere in England. Mellers has returned home from 2 weeks holiday and the usual post holiday conversation ensues...
Chum: OHI. U look well. U have good hols?
Mellers: Fine thx. Lovely. GR8.
Chum:KthxBai
The truth .....
Chum: Hi. U look well. U have good hols?
Mellers: It was actually awful. It ranks right up there with the worst holiday of my life. I would go so far as to say it was about the equal second worst holiday I have ever had. Not quite as bad as the RTA or a flight to LA when partner pushed a small child while nudging his chair and had a stand up row with angry parents in row behind. (We could have been thrown off plane and things went down hill from there), but about as bad as the time we tried to go to Holland and rowed so badly within the first 24 hours that we had to drive out of the country that day and back to Calais - in Silence.
Chum:Oh. Why was it so awful?
Mellers: I had the nearest thing to a complete mental breakdown and have probably taken about 5 years off my life with the anxiety and adreneline levels coursing through my veins. The screaming matches were a constant and daily - no hourly feature. With no means of escape in the middle of nowhere, I was physically and mentally overwhelmed so was actually unable to extricate myself from the situation and completely in the hands of someone else who a) didn't understand the serious nature of the situation and b) wasn't helping matters and c) was actually making things worse
Chum: Oh. Why don't you leave him blah blah blah.
Mellers: Do we really HAVE to have that conversation again, I've already explained why I CAN'T leave.
Chum: yeah right. Nice weather we are having for the time of year.....
Later, in the offices of the script editor
Editor: yeah I think we'll go with version A Mellers, so much less hassle.
