INT. SHOP. NR CHESTER SQUARE. LONDON. PRESENT. DAWN.



The HUM of a large refrigerator just audible over the

sound of Indian music -

MARGARET, briefly glimpsed pondering cartons of milk.

The electronic PEEP of the cash til.

A man on a mobile phone pushes past MARGARET, who takes

her place second in the queue.

The female shopkeeper piles newspapers on the counter in

front of MARGARET. Distracted by images of the bombed

hotel on the TV, she hesitates for beat.
                        MAN BEHIND THE COUNTER

          One forty-nine please.
                        MARGARET

          How much is the milk?
                        MAN BEHIND THE COUNTER
