• [first lines] 

  [Meg has entered the governor's office to find only Ted Douglas] 

  Meg Morris : I'm sorry, I was looking for Mrs Davidson.

  Ted Douglas : I'm afraid you wont be seeing Mrs Davidson again. There's her resignation.

  [he indicates folded up paper on the desk] 

  Meg Morris : What!

  [she picks it up and reads it] 

  Meg Morris : I can't believe it.

  Ted Douglas : Yes, well it's true I'm afraid. It was the only solution. As you know things were becoming rather difficult around here lately.

  Meg Morris : Erica is not the sort to walk out on a difficult situation

  [pause] 

  Meg Morris : You sacked her, didn't you?

  Ted Douglas : I can assure you that the final decision wasn't mine.

  Meg Morris : But it *was* the department?

  Ted Douglas : Yes.

  Meg Morris : This is ridiculous! What happened in the dining room wasn't Erica's fault. Oh for God's sake! What's the matter with the department?

  Ted Douglas : If I were you I wouldn't go around saying things like that, Mrs Morris. Applications for the position are open at the moment; you could be considered yourself.

  Meg Morris : If you can fire someone of Erica's calibre, I doubt an ex-inmate would be thought suitable.

  Ted Douglas : All applications will be treated equally.

  Meg Morris : There was nothing wrong with the governor we had. I'm sorry, Mr Douglas, but I think the whole thing *stinks*.

• Colleen Powell : That wouldn't look too bad, would it? If I could get rid of the dope trade.

  Meg Morris : Why don't you ask Smith to help you out?

  Colleen Powell : [laughs]  Lag on the other women? God, you've got to be joking!

  Meg Morris : For drugs she just might.
