TRANSCRIPT

Paula
Where are Graham and Harry now?

Graham
OK, Harry. Let's see the clue.

Harry
It's a puzzle. I think we need to get on a boat.

Graham
Yeah. That's Tower Bridge. I think you're right.

Harry
It was so cool. You can see so much of London from the boat. But my dad…

Graham
I sat down. I felt sick.

Harry
Dad, I need to call someone. Paula!

Paula
Harry, are you OK?

Harry
I'm fine, Paula. It's my dad. We just got off the boat. He looks really ill – he's not well.

Paula
OK, Harry. Don't worry. I'm gonna ask a few questions.

Harry
OK.

Paula
Does he have a headache?

Harry
Do you have a headache?

Graham
No, I'm OK, but I feel dizzy.

Harry
He feels dizzy.

Paula
Does he feel sick?

Harry
Do you feel sick?

Graham
Yeah. My stomach is bad.

Paula
Can he breathe OK?

Harry
Yes. He's breathing fine.

Paula
I think he's just seasick, Harry.

Harry
It's OK, Dad. You're just seasick.

Graham
I have a temperature too.

Harry
You do feel a bit hot. He's got a temperature.

Paula
It's good you're off the boat. Have a drink of water.

Harry
Have a drink of water, Dad. Thanks, Paula. 

Graham
I was seasick. I had a temperature – I was so hot.

Paula
Astrid and Eden have found the letter at Leake Street!

Graham
Harry, you were brilliant. I feel so much better. Ergh, I hate being seasick.

Harry
Stay here, Dad. I'm gonna get the letter.

Graham
Are you sure? On your own?

Harry
I can do it. It's OK, Dad.

Clare
I told you they were lions, not elephants. You never listen!

Paula
Elephants? Roar.
