A large but cramped concrete cavern, low ceilings supported by old wooden beams. It’s cold and crumbling. The light coming from the broken fixtures distorts faces, illuminating some and casting shadows on others. Inhabitants in corners concealed in darkness. Makeshift beds on upturned crates and benches. Children’s heads with messy hair, resting on improvised pillows, four or five to a bed. It’s hard to tell which shapes are bodies and which are stacks of belongings. -- 54 of 109 -- 54. In an attempt at dignity sheets have been hung to conceal them, one marked ‘Ladies’ and the other ‘Gentlemen’. It’s squalid. George takes away his hand from over his nose and mouth and undoes his pants, closes his eyes, and pees into the bucket. Whatever’s in there he doesn’t want to see. George returns to Ife and looks around the shelter as more people file in and take their space. There are WOMEN KNITTING. An OLD LADY settles down and unpacks a flask of hot tea and a sandwich. She stops to make room for an OLD MAN to rest beside her. He’s dressed in a threadbare suit with briefcase ready for the night, he looks more like he’s going away for a weekend break. People everywhere are trying to settle in the strange surroundings with the sound of bombing and destruction outside. Ife leads George through looking for a space for him to settle. The sound of an angry voice. -- 55 of 109 -- 55. -- 56 of 109 -- (MORE) 56.
GEORGE
(to Ife) I need to pee.
IFE
(indicating) Behind those curtains. George moves towards the curtains, pulling them back to find two buckets in the corner. 53.
WHITE MAN
If you don’t move there is going to be trouble. A small group of WHITE PEOPLE are hanging a sheet to segregate themselves from a group of JEWISH and SIKH FAMILIES.
WHITE WOMAN
This is for English people, move over.
SIKH MAN
(Politely) But madam...
WHITE MAN
(cutting him off) Don’t raise your voice at my wife. Who do you think you are eh? Just move over. A JEWISH MAN intervenes.
JEWISH MAN
Sir he wasn’t raising his voice. We have every right to settle where we choose. 54.
WHITE MAN
And I definitely wasn't talking to you lot mate, so you better shut up and sit down or I’ll give you what’s for. Ife intervenes.
IFE
What seems to be the problem? The reaction to Ife’s appearance is one of relief and surprise.
SIKH MAN
This gentleman has put up this sheet to contain us. To put us in a prison within a prison. I have no interest in looking at him but I do not want to be concealed. Ife tears down the sheet and addresses the white man.
IFE
Sir, there is no segregation here. We are all equal members of this country, willing or not. Ife, being overheard, is getting the attention of everyone in ear-shot.
IFE
This is exactly how Hitler came to power, by dividing man against man, and race against race. We are in a situation of war, banded together, asked to do our best. This will be the making or the breaking of us and I would like to think we can step up to the occasion and see our fellow human beings as equals, and that we treat each other with compassion and respect. Shamed in public, the White Man and his wife look away. Ife crosses back to George. George looks up at him, moved by his words.
GEORGE
Ife, you could be my dad. 55.
IFE
(wry) I think your mother might have something to say about that. He settles George in a makeshift bed.
IFE
Get some sleep. I’m on duty, I’ve got to finish my rounds. I’ll be back in the morning.
GEORGE
Take me with you!
IFE
It’s too dangerous.
GEORGE
Please!
IFE
I’ll be back in a few hours. And I’ll teach you another song when I take you home. He ruffles George’s head, crosses to the exit. George’s eyes follow the light of Ife’s lantern as it illuminates his way, only to fade and eventually disappear as he ascends the stairs. A restless George tries to fall asleep to the sound of distant bombings. BEGIN DREAM:
