Charlie is a little concerned over the future of her relationship with Richie.
Richie has decided that he is going to 'follow his dreams'and become a film writer. His first script is a remake of Hitchcock's 'The Birds' but with guinea pigs replacing the aforementioned birds. He has agreed to not give up his current employment until he has finalised this crucial scene:
ACT 2: SCENE 4
TWO SHOT - CHARLOTTE AND OLIVER
OLIVER
I wonder if Jemma fed them.
He turns away from her, goes to the cupboard, opens the door, takes out a small box of guinea-pig feed.
CLOSE SHOT - THE CAGE
As his hand approaches the door. The guinea-pigs are watching him.
His hand hesitates. Then his thumb and forefinger lift the small catch on the cage door. His fingers open the door. Cautiously, in TIGHT CLOSEUP, his hand goes into the cage. The guinea-pigs sit and watch. One of them squeaks. He removes the small feeding tray, puts the guinea-pig feed into it, replaces it in the cage. The guinea-pigs hesitate another moment. Then, squeaking, they begin to eat.

I hope Richie took notes this evening as I recreated this scene - replacing the Guines Pigs with friends of Lou, and the Guinea Pig food with pizza.
Alas I couldn't find a cage big enough for everyone, but the close ups were AWESOME!
Incredible.
How did you know about my fear of guinea pigs?
I was nearly killed by a wild guinea pig in rural Ireland at the age of fourteen.
I'm considering leaving him over this. I don't want to talk about it.
