ANNE cooks a meal.
SARAH What are we having?
ANNE Singapore noodles with prawns. It’s a very famous dish. You can buy it at street stalls everywhere. I hope you like it.
SARAH I’m sure we will. So, what do we do first?
ANNE First we have to peel the prawns.
SARAH Okay. I’ll do that. Now what?
ANNE Now we’ll fry the prawns. The oil must be very hot. It doesn’t take very long. While I’m doing that, you can chop the leeks. Chop them very fine. She fries the prawns, while SARAH chops the leeks.
SARAH Like this?
ANNE Yes. Sort of… LATER… She has taken the prawns out of the wok…
SARAH Now what?
ANNE Next we add the spices, and some ginger, and the leeks.
SARAH Okay, and now?
ANNE Now the leeks are soft, we put in some bean sprouts, and then the prawns, and the noodles.
SARAH All in together? Is that all?
ANNE Almost. Lastly we add some of this special sauce. I didn’t think I’d be able to find this here. Your market’s very good. That’s it. We’re almost ready. I hope your family’s hungry.

ANNE meets STEVE unexpectedly.
ANNE is trying to keep sight of the young man as she finishes buying her groceries. The young man turns away and she starts after him, but it is too hard to get through the crowd. She bumps into someone.
ANNE Sorry.
ANNE Steve!
STEVE Fancy running into you here! Where are you off to in such a hurry?
ANNE Oh, Nowhere… I, I thought I saw someone I know.
STEVE Oh. Where?
ANNE Oh, it’s okay. He’s gone now. I must’ve made a mistake.
STEVE You got time for a coffee?
ANNE Yeah,okay
STEVE Yeah
STEVE How about here?
ANNE Fine.
STEVE So what are you doing at the market?
ANNE I’m cooking at your house on Friday, remember?
STEVE Of course, Friday. That’ll be great.
ANNE What about you? Do you come here often? STEVE laughs
ANNE What’s funny?
STEVE When someone says, “Do you come here often”, it’s what we call a pick-up line. You know when someone’s trying…
ANNE I know what a pick-up line is.
STEVE Sorry. I come here every week to buy fruit. I like fresh fruit for work. What are we having for dinner?
ANNE You’ll find out on Friday.
WAITER What would you like?
STEVE Cappuccino.
WAITER Yep
STEVE And a tea please
WAITER Tea. No worries.
STEVE Do you want me to take your shopping home? I can put it in the fridge for you.
ANNE No, that’s okay, I have a fridge in my room at the hotel.
ANNE The person you saw. Who did you think it was?
ANNE It’s a long story. Maybe I’ll tell you later.

ANNE and SARAH are tasting wines. The WINEMAKER, TIM, is explaining the different varieties.
TIM These are our whites. Why don’t you try the Chardonnay first? It’s our best-selling wine.
SARAH Lovely.
ANNE Good fruit. Perhaps a little immature.
TIM Yes, it’s made from some of our youngest vines. It’s our most popular white at the moment. Try this Riesling.
ANNE Hmmm.
SARAH It’s very pale isn’t it?
TIM A lot of our customers are finding it very attractive.
ANNE It’s a bit too dry for our market. I think we’ll leave that one. But I like the Chardonnay. I think we can sell that.
TIM Excellent.
SARAH Let’s try the reds.
TIM Our reds are as good as any you’ll find around here.
ANNE What have we got here?
TIM This is our cabernet sauvignon. It’s very popular.
ANNE Mmmm. A bit too much fruit at this stage. I understand it wasn’t a good year for cabernet in this district.
TIM You know your wines, Miss Lee.
ANNE I try to be prepared. What’s your best red?
TIM This one. Our shiraz, and we think it’s world class.
SARAH It’s a lovely colour, deepest red.
ANNE What vintage is this?
TIM It’s three years old now. It’ll drink well for years yet, but you can drink it right now too.
ANNE And what’s the price?
TIM Well, it’s our most expensive wine at fifty dollars retail.
ANNE I’ll think about it. It’s certainly got potential, but there are a lot of wines around in this class these days. You’ve got a lot of competition Tim!
TIM That’s for sure. But we can work out a special price for you, if you’re interested.
ANNE I’m definitely interested. This is very good. Sarah knows our requirements and pricing position, I’m sure you can work out something with her.

ANNE sees the Professor. ANNE reads a sign 'Adelaide University' She enters the university grounds. She walks down a corridor and sees a sign on a door 'Professor GRAHAM Cornish' She knocks on the door.
GRAHAM I’m sorry to hear your brother’s gone missing, Miss Lee.
ANNE We’re all so worried. I’ve come to Adelaide to look for him. How long did he study here?
GRAHAM I’m not sure, er, two semesters.
ANNE Did he get good grades?
GRAHAM I’m afraid not. I don’t think computer science was the right direction for him. ANNE The investigator, Mr Barbour said you have a letter, from David.
GRAHAM Ah, of course. It’s addressed to you. I told him I’d only give it to you in person.
DAVID Dear Anne, Please don’t look for me. I need to be by myself. I can’t study any more. Tell mum and dad to forget about me and take care of themselves. You too. Look after yourself. I’m sorry. Love, your brother David. ANNE puts the letter down. Tears fill her eyes. GRAHAM holds out a box of tissues.
