[Thami and Isabel are going over their notes.] ISABEL: Was he speaking for you as well? THAMI: He speaks for me on nothing! ISABEL: Relax. I know that. That's why I tried to ask you separately and why I'll ask you again. Would you like to come to tea next Sunday to meet my family? It's not a polite invitation. They really want to meet you. THAMI: Me? Why? Are they starting to get nervous? ISABEL: Oh come off it. Thami. Don't be like that. They're always nervous when it comes to me. But this time it happens to be genuine interest. I've told you. I talk about you at home. They know I have a good time with you... that we're a team ... which they are now very proud of incidentally... and that we're cramming like lunatics so that we can put up a good show at the festival. Is it so strange that they want to meet you after all that? Honestly, sometimes dealing with the two of you is like walking on a tight-rope. I'm always scared I'm going to put a foot wrong and ... well, I just hate being scared like that. [A few seconds of truculent silence between the two of them] What is going on, Thami? Between you two? There's something very wrong, isn't there? THAMI: No more than usual.
