RIK-it’s a bit old

SANDRA-old

RIK-yeah

SANDRA-suppose it is, a bit old fashioned [Stanley’s voice] well I’m no spring chicken am I… I use Sandra, cos I like the name, it was my aunts name, this was her flat, she let me stay here when things weren’t going so well for me… she was a good woman, mad as a hatter mind, but she was good to me… when she died she left me this place, few years back now… I like using the name it reminds me of her…it was her clothes I wore first when I started all this, after she was dead like, don’t get me wrong I don’t want to be her or anything, not like Psycho nothing like that, we never, I mean me and her we never, god what am I talking about, it’s just a name I use if you don’t like it call me something else

RIK-Stanley

SANDRA-no, anything but that, I’d rather you didn’t call me that OK

RIK-why not

SANDRA-there you go again why… cos when I put the dress on I’m Sandra right, I leave Stanley behind, he’s a big fat blob forget him he’s not important, I’m Sandra now or whoever you want me to be

RIK-I like Alice

SANDRA-Alice, that’s a nice name you want me to be Alice

SANDRA-good… and is Rik, your real name

RIK-yeah

SANDRA-it’s a nice name, Richard I suppose

RIK-yeah

SANDRA-it’s a good name, strong, lion-heart eh…the king… so many people use false names these days you never know who’s going to turn up… your expecting a Tom when a Jim arrives at the door, can be quite confusing, especially the first few minutes…

RIK-how long you been, dressing up like that

SANDRA-oh a while now… haven’t always been, like this, but a while

RIK-you said you were married

SANDRA-yes

RIK-what happened

SANDRA-oh she… ran off with somebody else, someone she worked with…I don’t blame her…I knew she wasn’t happy, neither of us were… still came as a shock though, when she went… I’m over all that now, she did me a favour really going like that, I wouldn’t of had the courage to leave, I’d of carried on as I was

RIK-so you wasn’t always gay

SANDRA-oh I was, yes, definitely… I was lying to myself see, all that time, pretending to be something I wasn’t… I can see it now, that’s why things, went so bad… she, deserved better, we were kind of childhood sweethearts see, I didn’t know me arse from me elbow at the time, just kind of got swept along with things…still, hope she’s happy now

RIK-any children

SANDRA-no… didn’t happen for us, probably best [pours more vodka] that’s life eh, no point fussing about things that don’t happen… god were getting all depressing here aren’t we, lets get back to you, much more interesting I bet

RIK-not really

SANDRA-I can’t believe that, lovely boy like you… you really are, very nice you know that…bet you hear that all the time don’t you, about how nice you are, probably sick of hearing it… bet your popular… people always trying to do things for you eh... if I’d of worked in your warehouse I’d of done everything you told me to… do you want me to, do anything now

RIK-no

SANDRA-OK… I know, I got a video here somewhere, maybe you’d like to watch it, it’s a good one, it’s porno, strong stuff, they really go at it you should see them, one of them is a plumber in it he’s got a cock this big, wouldn’t want him catching you by surprise would you, not with something like that … would you like to see it, I could put it on if you want, just to… it’s here somewhere… let me see if I can find it [searches through drawers] here we go, knew I had it…I’ll put it on shall I, see what you think, yeah… Rik
