Leading from the end of scene 2, all of the mothers will stand up and walk around the space repetitively calling James as if they've been longing to get his attention; they want to reach out to him because they know they don't talk and they're sad about this. The boys will represent James and sit down blocking their ears and trying to escape from the sound of their mother calling their name. Whilst chanting his name, the mothers will look up as if he's upstairs in the house. Eventually, the mothers will sit down whilst still looking up.
Courtney walks up to Charlie whilst saying " But you'd remember your granddad! "
After Courteney has said this, everyone runs around the space in the personas of little children. Your objective is to play. Whilst running around the space, you're shouting "IT!" at the same time.
Afterwards, you will then still keep the persona of a little child and pretend to wobble on the spot with your arms out as if you're trying to balance. After you wobble left-to-right four times, some people from each side of the room will drop to the ground as if they'd hurt themselves. The people left standing will then play the granddad and run to someone's aid who's on the floor and comfort them. Edgar will then stand up where he is and say "He did everything a dad would do".
After Edgar's line, granddads will help up the James'. You will all be on your feet and will walk around the space as if you're in a shop either being the granddad (the person who runs to your aid) or James (the person that falls down). For example, you could pretend you're looking at clothes and ask James whether he likes it or not.
Eventually, the granddad will start coughing whilst walking around the space at the shops then will gradually cough so much that they can't move. James will try to pull them but they're so ill that they can't budge and slowly fall to the ground taking James with them.
Everyone should be on the floor at this point. James characters should be comforting the granddad characters by helping them sit up. Granddads will be in pain but still try keep a smile on their faces, Whilst this happens, the following lines are said:
Kit: "You'd remember that".
Eleanor: "But then he got his cancer".
Danny: "So every night you'd go and sit with him".
Sam J: "Have a cup of tea and look out the back window".
After Sam has said his line, slowly, gang members Lara, Tobi, Kitty, D'Nai, Thaliqua, Kit, Hollie and Chloe will stand up and walk to the centre of the room whilst everyone remains on the floor. The people standing will then begin to fight the person in front of them but not actual fighting - just pushing and shoving at this point.
Then, they will depart from the person they were fighting. They will still remain in front of them but at a further distance. Eleanor will then say "They'd run at each other with bottles and bricks". When you hear the word bottle, people on Lara's side will pretend to pick up a bottle. When you hear the word bricks, people on Tobi's side will imitate picking up a brick. Remember to look fierce and angry at all times gang members! People on the floor, just observe them as if you can actually really see this happening outside the window.
Once pretend objects are picked up, you will come closer to the person opposite you and fight by pretending to punch, kick and slap each other but not for real of course. Gang members will then freeze whilst the following lines are said:
Charlie: You would just sit there and go
Charlie and Sam M: What are they fighting for?
Lauren: Cos your granddad never went out and started hitting people
Emily: He got his point across with his mouth, not with his hands
Olivia: He would just have to talk to you and people would listen to him
