Sally4Ever (2018–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - Episode #1.2 - full transcript

- Sally...
- David...

Will you marry me?

Please, say yes.

You're not gonna meet
anyone else!

Last night was amazing.
It's just, I'm with someone.

- You in love with her?
- It's a him.

You've got glitter on your face.

Mm. Huh.

My landlady is a complete bitch
and she's throwing me out.

I just need somewhere to kind of
just sleep for one night.

I don't know if you've got,
like, some garden space



or a shed or something.

I'm just not attracted
to you anymore.

Since when?

Maybe the last...

seven years?

Happy birthday!

Oh, my God.
What's happened?

I just changed the whole room.

I love it.

Just to, sort of,
get our standpoint,

you know, like,
get David out.

That sort of toxicity.

- What's that?
- Me.

Yeah.



Yeah, it's... a teddy.

- Is it?
- Yeah.

Oh, my God.

Jesus, what... ?

This is all scratched.

- Um, yeah.
- It's my grandma's table.

Oh, my gosh, really?
That's amazing!

Yeah, it's shabby chic.

-It's like someone scratched it with a key.
-It's a compass.

-Is it? Oh, good.
-Yeah. Yeah.

-That was the quickest thing, actually.
-I bet she'd love it.

Is she around? I mean,
could she come and... ?

No, she's dead.

-She died.
-Okay.

Right, uh...
How old is she?

Don't know.

I've only got
15 candles.

-She's older than 15.
-Right.

It's cake o'clock.

Yeah.

I got you Sally's card
for you to sign.

Oh, I've actually made my own
card, so thanks, though.

What is it, a bit
of stuck on pasta?

No, it's, uh, photographs of 1950s
bingo holes, which she really likes.

Well,
I look forward to my card then,

if that's what
we're doing now.

When's your birthday,
Nigel?

Uh, twenty-fifth of June.

-So your star sign is...?
-Cancer.

Ah.

-Sorry.
-No, it's fine.

I suppose the thing
about cancer is

-it's likely to come back, isn't it?
-No, not necessarily.

Having the colostomy
is the best thing I ever did.

I never liked going to
the toilet, you know?

Big ones.

I found it took up
so much time.

Don't you find that?

No, I'm straight in and out.

Oh.

Fast and furious.

Yeah.
That's the way I like it.

I only go once a fortnight, so I
like to take my time with it.

You know, go in
with a newspaper,

-nice latte, sticky bun.
-Hmm.

I know Sally
does big stinky ones

because she sometimes leaves
them in my disabled toilet.

Right.

-He's got celiac.
-Oh, right. Yeah.

So how long
have you known Sally?

I don't remember
you at all.

Oh, we met quite recently,
actually, yeah, at one of my gigs.

Oh.

Hmm. Hmm.

And now you're...
you're staying here?

Yeah.

Do you have
a gentleman?

No, no.
I'm a lesbian, so...

Oh.

You okay?

Oh... Yes. Yes.

You've just got
one of those faces.

Ah, well...

- When is Sally back?
- Soon.

That's a very
nice cup of tea.

Are you warm enough, actually, in that?
Is that...?

Yeah. Yeah, I've got
really high body heat.

Um, a bit like a dog.

Hey, Em.

Hello, love.

What are you doing here?
I mean it in a good way.

Well, you invited us
for dinner.

Happy birthday!

Yeah. Yes, of course.
Sorry.

It's quite rich.
Be careful.

-Are you looking forward
to the wedding? -Mmm.

-Have to get her our outfits.
-Yeah.

What time of year
are you thinking?

-Spring or summer or autumn.
-Well... Spring.

I haven't really thought...
I'm kind of...

Spring is nice.

Or maybe not.
I don't know.

Or any of those.

Or winter.

Basically.

I saw someone the
other day that had an owl

bring the ring down the aisle.
It was beautiful.

- That's nice.
- Yes. It went wrong.

Yes, it went to the
wrong person, and, um,

the chap that it went to had
a phobia, a fear of birds.

And as a result,
the owl, uh, attacked him.

- Killed him?
- No, no.

It wouldn't
give up the ring.

I really like ferrets.

-Parrots?
-Ferrets.

How would the ferret
deliver the ring to...?

On his tail?

On his tail?
Hmm.

The tip of his tail.

Push it down.

Very fearsome
creatures, ferrets.

Mm. Quite sexy, though.

So, Sally and I have a bit
of an announcement.

Emma, best don't.

- Basically...
- Are you playing golf?

Oh, yes,
but, um...

I'm going to have to have
my hip redone, though.

It didn't take. Chinese surgeon.
We think he missed the socket.

How's church
and everything?

It's fine, thank you.
Haven't seen you there lately.

I'd like
to be there more.

I thought you didn't
really believe in God.

-I do. -Sally's always
believed in God.

If God is love,
then, yeah, I do.

I do.

A bit.
I mean, not...

It's weird that people always
think he's a guy, right?

- Do you want some salad?
- He's probably black for a start.

Honestly, I'm not sure
I can eat anymore.

-You don't like it? -I'm so sorry.
It's quite heavy...

- for you.
- Mm.

I don't think
it's heavy.

It's rich.

-So the wedding's not really...
-Do you want some more salad?

Actually, that's it.

The whole wedding thing isn't
really happening. Is it?

Sorry. Did I hear you say
that the wedding's off?

No.
There's pasta.

-What do you mean?
-Some more wine?

-It's not happening, is it? -Pat:
What do you mean, it's not happening?

It's not that. It's not that
it's not happening. It's, uh...

I don't know,
but we'll see.

Happy birthday...
to me.

How can it not be happening?
I don't understand.

-It might be.
-It's not.

- Why? What's...
- I don't know.

But you've only just
told us you're engaged.

-How can it not be happening? I don't
understand. -I don't know. I'm...

What do you mean,
you don't know?

-I'm not sure.
-What?

I don't know.
I mean, I'm...

I think I'm a bit too
tired to kind of know...

whether
it's happening.

I just, I don't want to be that black
and white about it, I think...

-Why? -I don't think it's
useful to kind of...

I'm getting married
or I'm not getting married.

--Are you sure this,
um, this is gluten free?

Do you want some salad?

I mean,
it's not happening, because...

I don't want to say it's happening
or it's not happening...

Tell me
what's happening. I want to know.

-I don't need to be... -Ten minutes
ago, you said you were engaged.

Well, it's not happening
because she's gay!

I mean, I'm not gay. I'm not sure.

-Pretty gay in the bedroom last night.
-Excuse me.

Just a bit
on the spectrum.

- It's not a disease.
- It is a disease.

It is a disease.

It is a disease.

You sound like you've got a disease
because you keep repeating...

Stop answering back.

-Well... -And excuse me,
but can I just say

that that pasta
was not gluten-free

because I can hear, it's
going straight through Alan.

We're going.

Where are the coats?

Alan!

I'm okay.
It's mostly wind.

Alan, do that in the car.

We're going.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Um, what are you cooking?

Crazy salad.

Just to say David wanted to pop
over and water the plants.

-Really?
-Mm.

Okay, well, he can, uh...
pick up his stuff, then.

It's been boxed up. He
can pick it up and go.

Um, I actually said
he can stay for brunch.

-Is that okay?
-Sal.

He's got such a toxic energy.
I really don't want him in here.

-I know, I'm sorry.
-It makes me feel sick.

Just looking at photos, I don't know what
it would be like to actually be around him.

It's just, he still owns
the house, I think, you know...

Yeah, so we actually
need to sort that out,

because you lived with him
as a common law wife,

so we need to get
that back off him.

-I don't know if that's a thing,
though, the common law... -It is.

I think they said that common
law wife isn't a thing anymore.

No, no. It's a thing.
It's a thing.

I might just, um...

I might just pop my sausages
onto the grill if that's okay.

You've brought
sausages with you?

Do you mind
if you don't?

-Well, you don't normally mind, Sal.
-Emma, do you mind if David...

Yeah, I would find it
really tough.

Well, I'm only going to pop
them onto the grill.

Can we not just have
one sausage-free supper?

Thanks, Em.

Mm.

So I've been
thinking about the house.

And what should happen
to the house.

What about the house?

Um, just to ask you, really,
if it's okay if we have it.

-"Have it"?
-Is that okay?

What do you mean?

I bought it
with Mummy's money.

It wasn't a shared purchase,
Sal. What are you...

When you live
with someone for ten years,

and you have a really,
terrible time with them,

one of the things you have to do...

...is recompense that person.

Sal... You didn't have
a terrible time with me, Sal?

She's been really ill.

She's been so ill since
she's been with you.

We have seen someone
about her health problems.

We've had some scans
done recently.

-Scans? -And he said it is all
to do with her time with you.

-She's had constant thrush.
-I don't remember...

She's really, really
thrush-y now.

You don't think that,
do you?

She does! She hates you!
She hates you.

She does not... Sally,
you don't hate me, do you?

-She hates you, and she hates your penis.
-It's not...

You haven't spoken
about my...?

I mean, not really.
No. I mean, a bit...

Well, you showed me
a photo.

Sal...

The doctor said it was fine.
He said it was...

just below average.

Yeah, they always
say that.

'Cause a lot of guys commit suicide
if they find out the truth.

- I'm really loving the quiche.
- Yeah, it's great, isn't it?

-Did you make the pastry from scratch?
-Mm-hmm.

We could pack yours up
to go if you want.

I miss you.

Me too.

But this is so great.

You know, we can
just be friends,

like we were
when we first met.

Oh, no.

I've got a video,
for whenever, we could watch.

- Okay.
- Yep?

Sorry.

Sorry.

Hello?

Mum?

What do you mean?

-Sorry, David...
-Oh, my God!

Sorry, do you mind
taking that outside?

When?

Oh, Mum, no.

- Sorry. David?
- Oh!

David, would you mind
taking that out...

Oh, Mum!

Oh, Mum. No!

- What the fuck?
- Just hang on.

We're trying to watch
the fucking film.

-Just hang on.
-What the fuck is he...?

Oh!

Okay. Yeah, okay.

Dad's dead.

-He's died, Sally.
-Oh, no.

Fuck!

Fuck!

Fuck!

Should...

Fuck!

Should I pause it,
or...?

-You okay?
-Yeah.

-Poor David.
-Hmm.

You sure it's true?

Of course.

What do you mean?

Well, it's just a bit...
a bit convenient.

What's convenient?

Well, he comes over,
suddenly his dad's died.

It's convenient
that his dad died?

Well, I'm just saying he's like,
ways of getting your attention.

Sorry, Emma. I don't think
that's a very nice thing to say.

-Well...
-I'll see you tomorrow.

You okay?

-I'm really grateful, Sal.
-It's okay.

Hey, guys.

-Hey.
-How are you doing?

What's going on?

I'm coming to support Sally.
It's really, really stressful.

I'm sorry,
my dad's just died.

I know. It's really
stressful for Sally.

Her nose has gotten really red.

When she gets like that, she's stressed
or she's about to have an orgasm.

We'll be going to my mum's.

I know. So let's go.

Do... Do you want
her to go? Sal?

Please,
could you not smoke?

Is this...?

Sorry, is this going to take
a long time, this journey?

We've got a bit
to go, yeah.

I could really do
with a coffee.

I don't think
we should stop.

If I see a services,
I'll try and stop, okay?

No, Sally,
I don't...

I could do with, like, um,
a Gale's or a Poole's.

-Like a really nice coffee.
-We won't...

Like Cortado, and a...
brioche or something.

I don't know if... I don't know
what they've got in the services.

But I'll...
I'll try.

Well, I don't want
a shitty coffee.

Well, I'd really
rather we didn't stop.

And like some
Frazzles or something.

-Okay. -It's going
to be half an hour.

Exactly.

I do think we ought to get
there as quickly as we can.

-Oh, David...
-Please!

-I don't want to be late.
-Are you okay?

-He was fine two weeks ago.
-I know.

-He was fine last weekend.
-Such a shock.

Speaking.

Just makes me feel
as if...

- What?
- Lost.

- Everything...
- Sorry, you...

I haven't got
my father...

- Fuck.
- I've lost you.

I know, I know.

I wish they'd
said something earlier.

Shit! -We could have
done something about it!

Aw, shit!

Okay. Okay.

-Shit. Fuck, I can't believe that!
-I'm so confused!

I can't believe that! -Out of
the blue and they don't even know...

Fuck! ...that he
was suffering in the first place!

- How did that happen?
- It just doesn't make sense to me.

- I know.
- Fuck off!

- She called...
- It doesn't make sense.

It cannot happen!

Fuck!

-Is everything all right? -Oh,
my God, that is so heavy.

-What is it?
-It's so heavy.

It's just one of my best friends
has been run over!

-Oh, my God.
-She just got sort of...

buffered by this fucking
Benji bus.

They said she was
just absolutely, just flat.

She's completely flat.

Just spread across the
road like a thin stripe.

-Like a red, you know...
-Gosh.

...long red stripe.

-Who was it?
-It's a great of mine, Anna.

-She's, just, like, one of
my best friends ever. -Anna?

-I just haven't heard you mention her.
-Oh, God. Sorry.

No, I don't mean that. -So it doesn't
matter that she's just been squashed

into a giant red stripe

across the road
by a fucking Benji bus.

I didn't... I'm sorry,
I didn't mean that.

Can we just get
a pasty or something?

Like, can we, I don't know, like,
call Deliveroo, or something?

We can't
get a delivery.

They don't come to you
in a moving car.

You can't
get delivery.

Look, if you need to stop,
we can stop somewhere.

You can't get
a moving delivery?

- No, you can't.
- No, I don't want us to stop.

Are there any tissues?

You can use, uh...

Just use the face.

Just the face.
Don't...

Oh, David.

Thank you.

I just feel lonely.

That's the...

-That's the worst bit.
-You're not on your own.

-Oh, yeah? I feel on my own.
-Well, you kind of are a bit, now.

Oh, David.

Sally, can I
hold you, please?

I just need
to hold you.

- Oh, David.
- Please.

Do you mind?
I can't see.

Please don't,
when I'm driving, David.

Can you sit back?
Sit back in your seat.

Oh, God.

David, sit up!
It's dangerous!

- I'm sorry!
- David, it's dangerous!

I just need
to hold somebody.

-Well, hold yourself.
-Please!

Do you want to put
some music on or... anyone?

Can you put my music on?

I'm gonna
try Deliveroo.

By the way, we need to let Mum
think we're still getting married.

-What?
-It's too much.

Hi, Mum. Sorry Dad's dead.
And by the way,

me and Sally are splitting
up after ten years.

Okay, okay.

So we need to sleep
in the same room.

You are not
fricking doing that.

So, what actually happened?

He hanged himself...

-in the bath.
-Mum.

Oh, dear.

At least there's the wedding
to look forward to.

I thank the
Lord he's got her.

Without her,
he would have nothing.

He would only
have me, and...

You'll probably won't
be here much longer.

You know I'm gonna
wait for you, don't you?

What now?

I mean life.

I'll wait until you're
ready to come back to me.

Please don't.
Oh, you mustn't. Don't.

-Do you not have a nightie?
-No.

I'm sure Mum
will have a spare.

They're very pretty.

Um, I think I might
just wear my clothes.

I'm not gonna
try anything.

Okay.

You're not going to
take off your boots?

No, I'm fine.

Here we are, dear.

It's just
a single bed?

Yes.
Is that okay?

It's just normally I like to, um,
sleep with my legs wide open.

Oh.

It's gonna be hard for me
to spread out on that.

Oh, I... I'm sorry, I, I...

Can you manage?

Yeah. I guess, yeah, I'm
just gonna have to make do.

-All right, my dear. I'll, uh, I'll
leave you to it. -Okay, thanks.

-Good night.
-Good night.

Hey.

My God, where
have you been?

Just came
to say good night.

I miss you.

What's going on?

I'm just,
when David's around...

I just feel really
scared in here.

-Why?
-I saw a ghost.

What?

Yeah, I think it was
David's dad.

What makes you
say that?

It looked like David.

It was much bigger,
like, twice the size.

More bald,
just a small tuft of hair,

like a little tiny.

-Okay. -And then
really big glasses.

He didn't
wear glasses.

Maybe he
needs them now.

-Yeah. -He's kind of
jumping about the room.

Jumping off
the wardrobe.

Jumping
off the... ?

Yeah, I don't know
if he was dancing.

-God.
-I know.

But he had a message,
and he said,

you've all got to stop being
so unhappy about this.

About what?

The fact
he hung himself.

You just look
so beautiful.

We can't
do anything here.

Why?

This is David's
mum's house.

Embrasse moi.

It means "kiss me"
in French.

Ah, oui!

Oui! Oui! Oui!

Oh!

Mum?

Mum?

I don't think
she's had a stroke.

It looks more to me like
dysphonia.

Dys what?

When one's been
literally struck dumb.

Oh, gosh.

But you say she was able
to speak to you last night

and tell you about
your father's suicide?

Yes.
Absolutely.

Maybe a delayed response
to the shock or...

Did anything else
happen last night?

After the
initial discovery?

No.

Is she signing,
is someone here deaf?

People sometimes have a strange
response to... to shock.

Unless... Is she part
of a street gang?

Oh, God.
What...?

I'm sorry, I don't
feel safe when she does that.

Sally, let's go.

Sal, I can't
do it on my own.

- I'm sorry.
- Sal.

Thanks, Dr. Boom.

Is it the lady?

So what is going on
with you guys?

We're friends, really,
first and foremost, aren't we?

Friends having sex.

I found a really cute pair
of your knickers.

I was turning mine inside out,
I often do,

and my God it just reaches
a point where... You know.

Well normally after... two days.

- Who's your friend?
- That's Roquette.

-Are you a widower?
-Oh, no.

-Mm. Just got one of them faces.
-Right. Yeah.

When I first met Emma
she was really fun

and really smart.

As the weeks went on,
I saw another side of her.

Ow! Did you just kick me?

Wha...
What are you talking about?

Why are you being so weird?
