Will: Effie, I meant what I said last night, I don’t want you to go back to the girls’ flat. Will you move in with me? We can go and get your stuff later if you like?
Effie: I would love that, Will! I don’t have that much stuff to get…can I bring my spider plant?
Will: Your spider plant – ? Effie, you can bring what you like, I want this to be your home! But why especially your spider plant?
Effie: It’s kind of sentimental…it was really neglected and I’ve been looking after it and making it healthy again.
Will: Sounds like a lot of work for a boring old spider plant, I would have chucked it and got a new one!
Effie: Oh no, I couldn’t do that! They’re not boring if you just give them some attention.
Effie: It was Greg’s, his mum gave it to him but he never looked after it. It was all weedy and pale and sad, so I started watering it and feeding it when I was round there, and now it’s big and green and it looks happy again. I took it from his flat when we split up…I knew he would neglect it again and I had looked after it so well.
Will: He didn’t look after you either, did he? Well of course you must bring your spider plant, so you can keep on looking after it…
Will: …and I will look after you…
