Bestival Scene 1

Transcript

Ashlie: Oh look, Stephen. I can see the Isle of Wight.

Stephen: Ah – you'll never guess what I've done.

Ashlie: What Stephen? I don't believe it. What have you forgotten?

Stephen: I don't have my passport!

Ashlie: Stephen, we're not leaving England. You don't need your passport.

Stephen: Oh, so you mean I don't need any foreign money after all?

Ashlie: Ha ha - very funny. We're heading to a music festival on the Isle of Wight. It's an island on the south coast of England.

Stephen: It's called Bestival, and I can't wait. There's going to be music, food and camping.

Ashlie: I love camping; fresh air, stars at night...

Stephen: Don't you mean, er, insects, cold showers and sleeping on the ground?

Ashlie: It's going to be brilliant, Stephen. I just hope the weather's good, I do not fancy camping in the rain.

Stephen: Well, you know what I always say; be prepared! So I've brought clothes for any weather. We'll be fine.

Ashlie: Well, we're almost there. So we better head to the van. Come on you.

......
 

Stephen: I'm so glad we borrowed a camper van.

Ashlie: It's cool, isn't it. Very retro!

Stephen: I know. There aren't too many of these vans still around. This one's nearly forty years old.

Ashlie: Oh, so just a bit older than you then!

Stephen: Ha-ha. Come on. I want to have a look round the festival.

Ashlie: OK, well I saw some interesting stalls over there.

Stephen: Oh, I want to go to the main stage. I want to see some live music.

Ashlie: OK, well I will meet you at the tea tent then in an hour. Have fun!

......
 

Ashlie: Oh! Hey you scared me there! You guys look great. What have you come as?

Festival Goer 1: Erm, the caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland.

Ashlie: Oh wow. I've noticed a lot of people in fancy dress, actually. What's going on?

Festival Goer 2: Oh it's erm – at this festival, every year, everybody gets dressed up.

Festival Goer 1: And the theme this year is fantasy.

Ashlie: So what does fantasy mean?

Festival Goer 2: Fantasy means anything from outer space to Alice in Wonderland.

Ashlie: Well, I must say you guys look amazing. I'll have to remember that one for next year. Have a nice festival guys!

......
 

Waitress: Hi, can I help?

Ashlie: Oh yes. Can I get tea for two, please?

Waitress: Would you like a high tea?

Ashlie: That would be lovely, yes please.

Waitress: I'll just be a minute.

Ashlie: Thank you

Stephen: Hey Ash!

Ashlie: Wow Stephen!

Stephen: Did you order tea?

Ashlie: Yeah. Nice fantasy costume. But what on earth are you? You look like an alien.

Stephen: What are you talking about? This is my rain gear. I thought I felt a few drops earlier.

Ashlie: Oh.

Waitress: High tea for two.

Ashlie: Thank you.

......
 

Ashlie: Come on then, let's set up camp.

Stephen: Are you really going to sleep in your tent, Ash?

Ashlie: Of course I am. I love sleeping under the stars, you know, getting closer to nature.

Stephen: Well, I'm staying in the camper van. I don't want to sleep on the ground.

Ashlie: Stephen you can't do that. That's not proper camping.

Stephen: Yes, but I've got running water and…even a fridge.

Ashlie: Well, I still say that that's not real camping.

Stephen: It is to me and besides, you snore.

Ashlie: I do not!

Ashlie: Where's my tent?

Stephen: There you go. We need to get everything sorted before it gets dark.

......
 

Stephen: Right, that's me done!

Stephen: Do you need a hand?

Ashlie: I think there's another pole or something somewhere.

Stephen: Are you sure you don't want any help?

Ashlie: No, I'm fine, I know what I'm doing.

Stephen: OK, if you're sure.

Ashlie: I think I've sorted it... Ta da!

......
 

Stephen: Right, I'm off to bed. See you in the morning.

Ashlie: OK, night!

Stephen: Night!

Ashlie: Stephen!
