Wrenched Apart
‘KATY screams: You have destroyed my life. I had a man I loved. A baby I longed for. A future. Tommy rants at her: It was a fantasy! You’re a bloody kid!
|
| She’s bad |
He hands her the wrench he was using and turns back to the engine he was working on.
Anyway, I know you’d keep going back to him. You’re a glutton for punishment. But once you’d killed his kid, I knew there’d be no way he’d want you. Anyway, you’re probably getting a little bit old for his tastes now. Katy yells: ‘Shut up talking about him like that!
Tommy: I thought it was Sally but now I think about it, it was probably Rosie he was after. I mean, everybody knows he likes a bit of school uniform. (And what self-respecting male does not?)
Crack! Katy brains the brain-dead ginger knob with the wrench, leaving him lying on the cold garage floor. Angela walks in just in time to witness the murderous act
Angela, using her hair as a mop, does a clean-up job and shoos Katy back to the house.
Kevin finds the body He looks round and tells Tyrone: I think he’s dead! (Either that or Tommys doing a passable impression of Sally in bed.)
Katy falls apart in continued bouts of hysteria. Shes sobbing and growing ever more pale. Shes wandering around in her pyjamas. Shes the centre of global attention. Shes the Michael Jackson of Weatherfield!
Over the street, Queen Sean rushes into the house, throws himself down onto the sofa and wails. He’s dead! We know. Tommy was a really good bloke, says idiot boy Jason. Sean: Not Tommy! Shandy! Hes passed away!
As Seans one-eyed dog is lowered into the ground, the knicker stitcher launches into a rendition of Barry Manilows hit song Mandy. Its worthy of any Eurovision contest entrant.
Oh Shandy, well you came and you gave without taking, they took you away. Oh Shandy, you kissed me and stopped me from shaking, they took you away. Oh Shandy. Who needs Jarvine and Jordan? Shandys our best in show.
Meanwhile, another dad is dying. Ray tells Dreary that hes terminally ill. So hes gone to die at Emilys – to get in training for the experience of actually being dead.
At this rate, Ken might be the only man left alive in the Street. And even then, we cant be too sure that he didnt die years ago ’
