Dinner with RICK, RAT, RAT’S FATHER, RAT’s MOTHER. RAT’s
FATHER is having a go at RAT for being lazy and hopeless. He
wants RAT to become an apprentice plumber in his own
business, RAT is not interested. Conflict between them.
RAT announces he does have a plan for the future. He asks his
parents permission to use his inheritance from his recently
deceased grandmother to go on a yoga nutritional training
course in Rome which he claims will give him a skill -
although the course costs £4000 when he qualifies he will
easily earn £200 a day when he gets back. RAT’s FATHER is
very dubious, but RAT’s MOTHER is enthusiastic. She wins
RICK’S FATHER round.
