Is there a man out there? |
|
Someone to hear my prayer |
|
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! |
|
A man after midnight |
|
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away? |
|
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! |
|
A man after midnight |
|
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day |
|
SOPHIE |
|
Sorry to drag you away |
|
SAM |
|
Thank God you did, this used to be |
|
a quiet wee island. |
|
SOPHIE |
|
Regretting you stayed away so long? |
|
SAM |
|
No, I'm regretting I never knew |
|
what was here. |
|
SOPHIE |
|
What? |
|
SAM |
|
This place - the Taverna. I always |
|
meant to come back and build it |
|
some day, but - she beat me to it. |
|
SOPHIE: |
|
Do you prefer buildings to people? |
|
SAM |
|
What?! |
|
SOPHIE |
|
Tell me something about my mum. |
|
SAM |
|
Your mum was irresistible, a one-off. |
|
We talked and we fought - you |
|
know it was me that brought her to |
|
this island? |
|
SOPHIE |
|
That wasn't the only thing you did, |
|
was it? |
|
SAM |
|
Oh right, what has she told you? |
|
SOPHIE |
|
Nothing. She's never mentioned |
|
you. |
|
SAM |
|
But you said "Mum's always talking |
|
about her friends from the old |
|
days." What's going on? Sophie, |
|
why am I here? |

HARRY |
|
Fancy Donna with a grown-up |
|
daughter! |
|
SOPHIE |
|
Have you got any children, Harry? |
|
HARRY |
|
No. I haven't put myself in the path |
|
of paternity. |
|
SOPHIE |
|
It's never too late. |
|
HARRY |
|
I don't think my other half would |
|
agree. |
|
SOPHIE |
|
Oh - you don't want children? |
|
HARRY |
|
No, no, it's not like that. It's just that: |
|
: well, I'd have liked a daughter. I'd |
|
have spoiled her to bits. |
|
SOPHIE |
|
Lucky thing. |
|
HARRY |
|
Is your Dad here? |
|
SOPHIE |
|
I don't know. |
|
HARRY |
|
What? |
|
SOPHIE |
|
I don't know who my Dad is. |
|

Is there a man out there? |
|
Someone to hear my prayer: |
|
BILL |
|
Can I be noisy, I'm a writer so it |
|
goes with the territory. |
|
SOPHIE |
|
Go on. |
|
BILL |
|
How did your mother get this place? |
|
When I knew her |
|
she was singing in a night-club on |
|
the mainland. |
|
SOPHIE |
|
She was left some money, in a will. |
|
We lived with an old lady when I |
|
was little. Her name was Sophia? |
|
BILL |
|
What, my Great-Aunt Sophia? |
|
SOPHIE |
|
I think it must be. |
|
BILL |
|
But: I always heard her money |
|
went to: family: |
|
Wait a minute - how old are you? |
|
SOPHIE |
|
Twenty. |
