INT. JACKS LIVING ROOM - DAY
The art room is letting off light that is flowing out into the darker hallway. The light is blocked by the figure of Rob. Rob walks into the room and starts to look at the wooden figures and sketches on the walls. He picks up a painting and smudges a bit of the paint before quickly placing it back where he found it. He picks up a book and starts to look through it, There is notes and pictures stuffed inside, as he starts to look through the extracts Jack wheels himself into the room behind Rob. Rob turns around startled and goes to run out the room but hesitates when he releases that Jack is blocking the only exit.
JACK
It's fine (long pause) That was from my first tour
Jack goes towards Rob and takes the book out of his hands. Rob looks on at him bewildered.
JACK
I got a telling off for sleeping on watch that year, was only menna be watching the office (laughs lightheartedly) Mum gave me the book before I went reckoned I should write stuff in it.
Rob looks around more for an exit but slightly calmer. Jack makes a long pause as he looks down at the battered book.
JACK
It was my second tour this happened it was just after we'd had easter lunch. Roast lamb mates reckon it was as dry as the shit sandbox we was in.
A picture of Jack and a group of other men in the army falls out as he sees it he just stares down at the picture.

Jack attempts to finish he's sentence but starts to stutter and cry as he does.
ROB

Rob walks around a broken down Jack and walks quickly towards the front door.
