HONORIA<br>
Did you see that couple there? <br>
<br>
BERTIE<br>
Can't say I did... <br>
<br>
HONORIA<br>
Standing by the tree? <br>
<br>
BERTIE<br>
Really? Was it raining? <br>
<br>
HONORIA<br>
That was nearly us back there <br>
<br>
BERTIE<br>
Don't quite follow... <br>
<br>
HONORIA<br>
Nearly you and me <br>
<br>
BERTIE<br>
Oh yes, I see. Brrmmm! <br>
<br>
HONORIA<br>
Bertie, you've been badly neglected<br>
You need a wife who'll correct it<br>
The secret with men, of course, is<br>
To treat them a bit like horses...<br>
Did you see those lovers there? <br>
<br>
BERTIE<br>
No, I think they were pheasants, actually... <br>
<br>
HONORIA<br>
Even you could see <br>
<br>
BERTIE<br>
Oh, lovers! I thought you said plovers, sorry. <br>
<br>
HONORIA<br>
Oh, so nearly us back there <br>
<br>
BERTIE<br>
Was it? Nearly ran over them, then... <br>
<br>
HONORIA<br>
Nearly you and me <br>
<br>
BERTIE<br>
Appear to be running out of cardboard... <br>
<br>
HONORIA<br>
Could it be we took some wrong turning?<br>
Is this a lesson worth learning?<br>
Can't you see that couple there<br>
Could well have been you and me? <br>
<br>
BERTIE<br>
Hump back bridge! <br>
<br>
HONORIA<br>
That was nearly us back there<br>
Wouldn't you concur? <br>
<br>
BERTIE<br>
Hairpin bend, hang on... <br>
<br>
HONORIA<br>
He was so like you back there<br>
I could have been her <br>
<br>
BERTIE<br>
No, I think they were both very much shorter. <br>
<br>
HONORIA<br>
Here you are, so vital, attractive-<br>
Would that your brain was as active<br>
You're nobody's intellectual<br>
You hot-blooded het'rosexual... <br>
<br>
BERTIE<br>
Oh, now, simmer down... <br>
<br>
HONORIA<br>
Was it merely lucky chance<br>
Brought us here today?<br>
Victims both of circumstance<br>
Meeting you this way <br>
<br>
BERTIE<br>
Brrrrmmmm! Brrrrrmmmm!! <br>
<br>
HONORIA<br>
It's as though our lives had been frozen<br>
Back on the paths we'd both chosen<br>
Giving us a fleeting glimpse<br>
Of all that was meant to be<br>
That was surely us back there<br>
It's as clear as day<br>
If we'd both kept faith back there<br>
Hadn't lost our way <br>
<br>
BERTIE<br>
Nearly there ... Here's the village <br>
<br>
HONORIA<br>
What if we defied dull convention?<br>
Stood up to shout our intention? <br>
<br>
BERTIE<br>
Steady! <br>
<br>
HONORIA<br>
If we'd followed our heart's volition<br>
and shed our last inhibition? <br>
<br>
BERTIE<br>
Here we are! At last! <br>
<br>
HONORIA<br>
That's out future life back there <br>
<br>
BERTIE<br>
Cheerio then! <br>
<br>
HONORIA<br>
Bertie, can't you see? <br>
<br>
BERTIE<br>
You'd better hop in there smartish... <br>
<br>
HONORIA<br>
That was meant for us back there <br>
<br>
BERTIE<br>
You don't want to get gangrene... <br>
<br>
HONORIA<br>
All we're meant to be<br>
Time we took the plain facts and faced them<br>
Turned in our tracks and retraced them<br>
Back to when that couple there<br>
So clearly were you and me... <br>
<br>
