[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*.
