Woody Norman: George Junior

Quotes 

• George Junior : Tell me about things.

  Amy : Things?

  George Junior : In the World.

  Amy : Things?

  [Amy gets into bed beside George] 

  Amy : Now move up then, come here.

  Amy : [pause and reflects] 

  Amy : You know George, there's lots of marvellous things. Where I grew up, people didn't look like us, they had brown skin and often they were very poor and didn't always have enough to eat. You know what? They were so cheerful and so happy and they wore really bright colours

  [pause and sighs] 

  Amy : and the sun, and the sun shone there, it was, so warm, so bright and the sky wasn't grey and pink, it was blue,

  [pause] 

  Amy : clear blue. There were lots of animals, all sorts of birds of different colours, tigers, mongooses, snakes.

  [pause and sighs] 

  Amy : Then there were the mountains, the mountains were,

  [sighs] 

  Amy : they were bigger than you could even dream George, they were, gosh, purple, black, grey, some of them were even white with snow,

  [pause] 

  Amy : cold white snow. I use to go visit my father up there, he'd be drawing maps. Then one day, when I was a little bit older, I got on a ship and I sailed across the oceans and I came here. I got off the ship and I thought, it's a little bit rainy,

  [pause] 

  Amy : but I thought it was pretty, with its countryside and its cities,

  [pause] 

  Amy : people, millions of people

  [pause] 

  Amy : and children, thousands of children, children everywhere, they were playing and laughing, singing and eventually going to sleep.

  George Junior : One day can we go there?

  Amy : [long pause] 

  Amy : I will start packing our bags.
