| Action and sound | Important to observe |
| MABEL leaves the cupboard door open – moves to the back door – half closes it and with her right hand picks up a towel from a hook on the back. |
Note that cupboard door. I said to keep an eye on the back door. |
| She moves forward to the sink. FRED turns off the tap with his left hand and takes the towel from Mabel also with his left hand. | Tap action. At what point does Fred turn it off? i.e. what is Mabel doing then? Which hand does he turn it off with and does he take the towel before or after turning off the tap and with which hand? |
| FRED starts gingerly to dry his cut finger. | |
| MABEL opens the tin of dressings with her right hand and puts the lid down (upside down) on the draining board. | Note the action – particularly with the lid. |
| She takes out a dressing and puts the tin down on the draining board beside the lid (on the right side). | |
| FRED: Thanks love. | When does Fred speak? Is Mabel still taking the lid off the tin, or the dressing out of the tin or what? |
| FRED throws the towel down on the draining board. | Note that Fred speaks and then throws the towel down. Also note where it lands. |
| MABEL unpeels the dressing from its backing and places it on Fred’s finger. Fred turns his head away and winces. | Does she use both hands to place the dressing on his finger? Note the way Fred’s head turns to wince. |
| MABEL: Did I hurt you? | Note that she speaks before he turns his head back. |
| FRED turns his head back. | |
| FRED: No, it’s just a bit sore. | |
| MABEL takes her hands away. | Note when she removes her hands. |
| FRED: Right. I’ll finish the lawn. | |
| MABEL picks up the towel with her left hand and moves to the door. | Note the hand. |
| FRED picks up the lid of the dressings tin and places it on the box – picks up the box with left hand and moves to the door. | Note the hand, also that Mabel moved to door before Fred. |
| MABEL hangs the towel up at the door – FRED moves over to her with the tin which he hands over (his left hand to her right). | Note the hand action. |
| FRED: What time’s lunch? | |
| MABEL: Is half an hour all right? | |
| FRED: Fine. Give me a shout. | Do not forget that during the dialogue Mabel is holding the tin. |
FRED kisses her.
He pulls open the door and goes out. | Kisses her after the dialogue.
Note. You see about the door? |
