Episode 3 | |||
Josephine and Claudette are cleaning in a very large hous, Josephine finds a very expenive vase. | |||
Claudette Baptiste | (Notices Josephine fiddling) Josephine! | ||
Josephine Baptiste | (Shocked and drops the vase) AGH! | ||
Gemma Birgenstein | What was that? Did someone drop something? | ||
Josephine Baptiste | NO! No no no! NO! Stay where you are Ms. Birgenstein! | ||
Claudette Baptiste | Josephine! My god, child! Fix yourself and that vase! | ||
Gemma Birgenstein | Very well, I'm going to visit my mother. Be safe. | ||
Claudette Baptiste | (Smiles at Gemma until she leaves) Josephine! She almot saw the vase! God! Back in Haiti this would never have happened! We shouldn't have moved! | ||
Josephine Baptsite | Oh, my mother! The same lecture every time I drop something! I don't even want to clean! | ||
Claudette Baptiste | That's just as well, because you can't. Back in Haiti, we had to clean or you were deemed unfit, and sent back to your parents. Had I of not learnt, we would not be here. | ||
Josephine Baptiste | Yeah, cleaning away. It's just like Haiti, but more expensive. | ||
Claudette Baptiste | Josephine Emily Baptiste! I will not have you insult my family like that. Carry on! (Josephine picks up a cloth and cleans) | ||
Flashback, September 1 1959. Claudette Baptiste is handed cleaning equipment by a woman. | |||
Claudette Baptiste | (In Creole) I don't understand. Why do I have to work in this dingy place? | ||
Betye | (In English) Because your parents have forced you to to pay off their migration taxes! And speak English girl! You are in Sunset Valley now! | ||
Claudette Baptiste | (Quietly) Yes Missus. | ||
Betye | Do not mumble! When you clean, the employers expect you to speak loudly! (Grabs Claudette's jaw) Hmmm. Your teeth could use a bit of work. But we'll get to that. For now, you will stay and clean here until you are fit to clean in public. | ||
Claudette Baptiste | (Under her breath, in Creole) Slavery. | ||
Betye | (Hits Claudette) You are not allowed to speak to me like that! Understand? (Claudette holds her face, but does not reply) UNDERSTAND? | ||
Claudette Baptiste | (Weakly) Y...yes. | ||
Betye | Get to work. (Hands bucket and cloth) This counter had better be spotless by the time I return. | ||
Jennifique | (A young girl appears in the background, making fun of Claudette) | ||
Betye | Girls! Get to work! | ||
Claudette Baptiste | (Starts singing "The Flower Duet") | ||
Present day. Claudette and Josephine have moved from Gemma's house to a large sandy type house. | |||
Josephine Baptiste | Cleopatra Bouseffi... | ||
Wind flies by. | |||
Claudette gets out the car, stumbling around with mops | |||
Claudette Baptiste | Apparently she had a party and something horrible happened to the drains and the whole floor got covered. | ||
Josephine Baptiste | I hope she realises we are CLEANERS. Not plumbers. (Josephine seems disgusted at the fact of being a plumber.) | ||
Cleopatra Bouseffi | Oh, God. What a mess! Ah, Baptiste and Baptiste! (Cleopatra laughs) Welcome to my...home. As you can see things got a little rowdy last night. If you could fix this up in about 4 hours that would be perfect. (Cleopatra lets out a faint laugh) | ||
Josephine Baptiste | We might need a bit more than a couple of ours. | ||
Claudette Baptiste | Do you want to get paid? | ||
Josephine goes to snap back but decides not to. | |||
Claudette Baptiste | I thought so. | ||
Cleopatra clicks her fingers, and her car rolls out of a small block. | |||
Claudette Baptiste | Ms Bouseffi, where are you going? | ||
Cleopatra Bouseffi | Oh, to visit Ptolemy's grave. It's almost his anniversary of his death, so. | ||
Josephine Baptiste | You'll be back before we're done? | ||
Cleopatra Bouseffi | We'll see. | ||
Josephine Baptiste | (Cleopatra gets in the car) But you need to pay us before or after! (Cleopatra drives off) We aren't leaving. | ||
Cleopatra Bouseffi | I'm sorry, I can't hear you! | Mollie Fineworth | Go to hell. |
Claudette Baptiste | Not leaving. | ||
Claudette looks up to the sky | |||
Flashback, 1972 | |||
Claudette is in a room with Emmanuel | |||
Emmanuel | Not leaving? Not leaving?! You aren't leaving Grime Busters? | ||
Claudette Baptiste | Of course not! I've made many friends there, I own the company! I have hidden the fact that we have been enslaving children for years, I will not emerge from the depths now! | ||
Emmanuel | And what about when you can't work, eh? (Emmanuel points at Claudette's stomach, she is 2 months pregnant) What about when little Josephine comes along? This is ridiculous. In 7 months, we will have no source of income and a baby! We're ruined. And...and maybe | ||
Claudette Baptiste |
What? Maybe what? (Emmanuel remains silent) Say it! I dare you! | ||
Emmanuel | (She's hit a nerve) Maybe I don't want to be a part of a sinking ship, and should get off while I can! | ||
Claudette Baptsite | (Hurt) Are you saying you want to leave me and my...I'm sorry, OUR baby? | ||
Emmanuel | (Nods) That's right. Goodbye, Claudette. You've struck a nerve there. I'll be praying for you. | ||
Claudette Baptiste | Emmanuel! You get back here right now! Emmanuel! | ||
Emmanuel | Wretch! | ||
Present day Claudette and Josephine have spent hours awaiting Cleopatra's return. | |||
Cleopatra drives up, it's night. | |||
Cleopatra Bouseffi | Oh God. | ||
Josephine Baptiste | There she is, mama! | ||
Claudette Baptiste | (Awakens suddenly) Cleopatra! You've been gone for 7 hours! 7! Pay us extra, now! | ||
Cleopatra Bouseffi | I...I apologise, Claudette, Josephine, but...I've left my money at the salon and it's bound to be locked now. | ||
Claudette Baptiste | Go back. Now. | ||
Josephine Baptiste | Mama, please. Cleopatra, we're sorry, but we simply cannot leave until you've paid us. | ||
Cleopatra Bouseffi | Absolutely not. Get out! Out! Out! | ||
Flashback, 1972 Claudette is giving birth to Josephine | |||
Claudette Baptiste | Get out! Out! Out! Out!!! (Claudette screams) | ||
(The nurse holds Claudette's hand) | |||
Claudette Bouseffi | Screw that idiot Emmanuel! Screw him! SCREW HIM! | ||
Nurse | One more push, Ms Baptiste. One more! | ||
(Claudette screams, Josephine starts crying) | |||
Claudette Baptiste | Oh! Oh...Josephine. | ||
Nurse | Is that the name? Josephine? | ||
Claudette Baptiste | Oui. Josephine. (The nurse wraps Josephine up and hands her to Claudette) Josephine. | ||
Scene change to outside the hospital, a nurse wheels Claudette and Josephine out | |||
Claudette Baptiste | Thank you, so much. I couldn't have done it without you. | ||
Nurse | [As Emmanuel] That's what I'm being paid for. Do you have anyone picking you up? | ||
Claudette Baptiste | [A car drives up with 'Grime Busters' written on the side, Claudette sighs] There. There's my car. Thank you, nurse. | ||
Nurse | A social service will come and visit your child every couple of weeks, purely mandatory. | ||
Claudette Baptiste | I know, I see it on movies all the time. | ||
Betye | (Gets out of the car, she is very old) Claudette! | ||
Claudette Baptiste |
Betye? | ||
Betye | Come along! I'm taking you back! | ||
Claudette Baptiste | This is who they gave me? | ||
Betye | Do you want to walk? Get in the car! | ||
Present day - Baptiste house | |||
Josephine Baptiste |
...And he walked out on us? Just like that. | ||
Claudette Baptiste | Just like that. | ||
Josephine Baptiste |
And in order to make up for his non-existant child support you made me work for you. | ||
Claudette Baptiste | Josephine, I'm so sorry...I had to! We would have been ruined! | ||
Josephine Baptiste |
I don't blame you. (Exhales) As long as we have each other, we'll be fine. | ||
Claudette Baptiste | (Chuckling) Keeping the houses of Variety clean and clear! | ||
Josephine Baptiste |
What happened to the rest of the children at Grime Busters? | ||
Claudette Baptiste | Don't think I didn't let Emmanuel get away with everything. The police came to investigate, they promised me to let me go if I told them who was in charge there. Emmanuel. | ||
Josephine Baptiste |
So...you lied? | ||
Claudette Baptiste | Vengence is sweet. Get it when you can, however you can. In my case, I lied to the police. | ||
Josephine Baptiste |
And Betye? | ||
Claudette Baptiste | She behaved a lot like a mother toward me, she came to all your birthdays. She died when you were three, I don't suppose you remember her. I know I do. | ||
Josephine Baptiste |
(Thinks for a while and shrugs) Oh well. You know, you changed a lot of people's lives. Had you not have offered those children a job to pay off their families' debts...in some rural parts of the country, you may have saved a few lives. | ||
Claudette Baptiste |
I try. | ||
Josephine Baptiste | (Hears the phone ring, goes to answer it) Helllo? Grime Busters. | ||
Cleopatra Bouseffi |
Oh, hello, Josephine, it's Cleopatra here. We've had a minor incident here, just thought you'd like to do a spontaneous clean up here. Someone's left this large- | ||
Josephine Baptiste | Cleopatra, you know spontaneous cleans are extremely expensive here at grime busters? | ||
Cleopatra Bouseffi |
I'm willing to pay everything! It's just this- | ||
Claudette Baptiste | (Takes the phone) Cleopatra, if you've had one of your stupid parties again, I'm going to delete your subscription! | ||
Cleopatra Bouseffi |
Massive casket! There's a huge Egyptian casket laying inside my house which has appeared from nowhere. Get it out! Now! | ||
Josephine Baptiste | We're cleaners, not handywomen! | ||
Cleopatra Bouseffi | Hold...hold on. I recognise it. | ||
Josephine Baptiste | What? | ||
Claudette Baptiste |
If this is some sort of joke... | ||
Cleopatra Bouseffi | Let me just... | ||
Josephine Baptiste |
Cleopatra? | ||
Cleopatra Bouseffi | (Cleopatra waves a hand over the casket, a large amount of dust and sand flies off it. Revealing a name. "Cleopatra Bouseffi") Agh! (The casket bursts open, the body of Cleopatra is seen) AGHHH!!! | ||
Josephine Baptiste |
Cleopatra? What's the matter? | ||
Cleopatra Bouseffi | Get here now! | ||
Jospehine Baptiste |
What's happened!? | ||
Cleopatra Bouseffi | I remember everything! |
