At Home With Sally Green (Series 2, Episode 1): The Demon Hole (part 1)
Gabriel: *sips his glass of red wine, and makes a look of disgust* This wine is almost undrinkable.
Nathan: Here we go again.
Gabriel: We’re going here again because the wine isn’t at it’s best. It’s too warm. AGAIN.
SG: Drink the white, it’s at the perfect temperature. *raises her own glass in cheers to Gab, takes a sip, makes a face of ecstasy* Delicious!
Nathan: Or drink the water *runs kitchen tap at full blast and sticks head under to drink, getting water everywhere, coming back to standing with water running down his face, his hair wet*.
SG: *looks at the water everywhere and mutters to herself*Just drink the wine, Sally. Just drink the wine.
Gabriel: *tears his eyes from the dripping Nathan and looks at SG* I’m just saying that if we kept the red wine in the cellar, it wouldn’t be ruined all the time.
SG: We’ve been through this a thousand times. We don’t go in the cellar.
Nathan: *sweeps his hair back, sending water across the room* And even I get that. I’m going for a run. *leaves the house*
SG: *picks up her book, opens it, sips her wine* *mutters quietly but just loud enough for Gab to hear* Even Nathan gets it.
Gabriel: * sips his wine again, pulls face again*
Gabriel: I just think that if you are lucky enough to have a cellar, the perfect place to keep wine at the perfect temperature . . . why not . . .
SG: *closes book down and looks at Gab* I don’t put anything in the cellar. I don’t go in the cellar. I don’t open the door to the cellar. The cellar is a no go area. I thought I made that totally clear on day one, Gab. If Nathan can understand that then surely so can you!
Gabriel: Fine. Fine. I won’t ever mention it again. *goes to counter and takes the white wine from the cooler and pours himself a large glass*
Much later, Sally is in bed. Nathan is still not back from his run.Gabriel is a little tipsy as he heads upstairs passing the cellar door which has a round wooden door knob.
Gabriel: *reaches out his hand to the door knob but then shakes his head* No. I mustn’t. *imitating Sally’s northern accent* The cellar is a no go area.
Gabriel: *goes upstairs and switches the light off on the landing, heads to his bedroom and glances downstairs. He frowns and stops. He slowly retraces his steps, looking down towards the cellar door. He goes down a few stairs, then down a few more*
Coming from the gap below the cellar door is faint red glow.
Gabriel: *imitating Sally’s accent again* The cellar is a no go area.
Gabriel: *smiles and reaches out his hand to the door knob and turns it.
