Olaf Gives us Another "Wiggins" Play
OLAF: I've written another little play about the Wiggins family and I've tried to use a lot of examples of should and would. May I read it to you?
MR. PRIESTLEY: We should enjoy that very much.
OLAF: Thank you. Here's the play.
A Visit to the Cinema
scene: the drawing-room at the Wiggins' house
MR. WIGGINS: Ah, a chair by the fire at last. It's nice to sit down and take it easy after a hard day's work.
GRANDMA: You wouldn't be so pleased if you had to sit here all day long like Grandpa and me.
MRS. WIGGINS: Well, Grandma, what would you like to do?
GRANDMA: I'd like to go to the pictures.
MR. WIGGINS: You wouldn't if you looked out of the window. It's pouring with rain.
MRS. WIGGINS: Then you should offer to take them in the car, James.
MR. WIGGINS: I've just put the car away. Grandma should make up her mind earlier if she wants to go to the pictures.
GRANDPA: Did I hear James say that he would take us to the pictures?
MRS. WIGGINS: Yes, Grandpa. As it's raining he'll take you in the car. He thought it would be a change for you.
TIMOTHY: I want to go to the pictures too.
MRS. WIGGINS: You can't go tonight, dear. The pictures won't finish till long past your bedtime.
MR. WIGGINS: It will finish past mine too. I was looking forward to an early night.

MRS. WIGGINS: Now don't be selfish, James. Grandma and Grandpa get little enough pleasure from life, as it is.
GRANDPA: And sitting in this room with the walls painted green isn't one of them. I would have painted them red.
GRANDMA: Yes, red would have been much better. Are you going to take us, James, or not?
MR. WIGGINS: Well, what's on at the pictures?
MRS. WIGGINS: It should be in the local paper. Ah yes, here we are. "The Private Life of Walter Mitty".
MR. WIGGINS: I've seen that once already.
GRANDMA: Ah, Grandpa always says that the only way to appreciate a picture properly is to see it twice, don't you Grandpa?
GRANDPA: Yes, always.
MRS. WIGGINS: Well, I'm sure you will all enjoy it. Timothy, go and get Grandma's coat, and you must go and get the car started, James, We don't want to keep Grandma waiting.

(Half an hour later. In the cinema)
MR. WIGGINS: Well, here we are.
GRANDMA: And we're lucky to be here in one piece. The way you came round that comer was most dangerous.
MR. WIGGINS: Well, I knew you wouldn't want to be late.
GRANDMA: Ah, Grandpa always made a joke about that. He always said, "It's better to be 'late' than 'the late'."
MR. WIGGINS: I know. You've told me before.
GRANDMA: Well, you wouldn't think so the way you drove.
GRANDPA: How long must we go on waiting, listening to that dreadful music?
MR. WIGGINS: The main picture starts in two minutes.
GRANDMA: This isn't a very good seat. It would be better if Grandpa moved up to the next one. Tell him to move up, James.
MR. WIGGINS: He wouldn't be very comfortable if he did.
GRANDMA: Why not?
MR. WIGGINS: Someone's sitting there.

GRANDMA: Have you any chocolates?
MR. WIGGINS: No.
GRANDMA: Oh, what a pity. Grandpa would never take someone to the pictures without buying a box of chocolates, would you, Grandpa?
GRANDPA: What's that?
GRANDMA: I was saying you always bought a box of chocolates.
GRANDPA: Chocolates? Yes, I would like a chocolate.
GRANDMA: We haven't any. James has foigotten.
MR. WIGGINS: Be quiet. The picture's starting.
GRANDMA: I shan't see much of it from this seat. You should have bought us better seats, James.
MR. WIGGINS: Oh, look at the picture.
GRANDPA: Who's that young man with red hair? I've seen him somewhere before.
MR. WIGGINS: I expect so. He's a well-known star.
GRANDPA: Have you noticed he drives a car just like James, Grandma?
GRANDMA: Yes, you're right Grandpa. Very dangerous. He's behaving very queerly altogether. He's nothing like the fine handsome film stars of my day; you should have seen...
MR. WIGGINS: I wish you wouldn't talk so much. The people in front are looking round.
GRANDMA: Well, ask that lady in front of me if she would mind taking her hat off. She seems to have a bowl of fruit on her head.
MR. WIGGINS: Change seats with me. I can see perfectly.
(They change seats. Two minutes later)
GRANDMA: James, I've seen this picture before.
MR. WIGGINS: Well, so have I. I thought you enjoyed seeing a picture twice.
GRANDMA: Don't be silly. Who would want to see the same picture twice? We're going home. I can't think why you dragged us away from a warm fire to see a film that we've already seen. We should have been far better at home. Come along, Grandpa, come along, James!
