This Is England '86 (2010): Season 1, Episode 1 - Episode #1.1 - full transcript

Sausage or hot pot?

Hot pot, please.

Chips or new potatoes?

Erm, chips, please.

- What would you like, mate? - Erm? Can I have
the chocolate crunch with mint custard please?

Yes, we've got chocolate crunch

but I don't think we've
got any more mint custard.

Lol, have we got any more mint custard?

If it's not in front of you,
I ain't got any back here.

We've still got tonnes of coffee whip?

- We've got coffee whip.
- Coffee whip?



I know.

- Lol, is that mint custard I can smell?
- Oh, Get out! Out! Out!

- Sorry, sorry.
- Out!

What you do you want?

- Just a little bit of dinner. A
bit of that mint custard if it's
going. - No, we've got none left!

We've got coffee whip.

What the fuck's coffee whip?

Coffee. Whipped.

Ew, Lol! At least tell
me you've got chips today?

- Have we got any chips back there,
Lol? - No more chips today.

What? For fuck's sake, Lol. Why
do you always run out of chips?

Everyone loves chips.
Just make more chips.

Make people happy. Make some
more chips. Please, Lol.

Make some more.



Finished?

What are we going to have instead?

A fucking knuckle sandwich
if you carry on, Gadget.

- I'm going to make some new potatoes.
- I don't like new potatoes. - Get out!

You'll get what you're fucking given.
Now go and wait round the back!

Gone downhill this place.

Here he is.

How we looking, Gadge?

Not very good, mate.

What's up?

Well, we've got new potatoes,

no chips

and for dessert, we've got coffee whip.

Ooh, coffee whip's nice.

- Are you taking the piss?
- No, it's nice.

My mum does it all the
time. It's dead nice.

What are you frowning for, it's free?

It's not about the money, is it, Milk?

It's about the nostalgia, isn't
it? Like, that's why we come here.

I don't even know what that means.

It means having meals that we used to have
when we were happy, when we were kids.

When have you ever ate new
potatoes and felt happy?

"Oh, here's a big plate of new
potatoes. Yeah, cheers, Mum."

Do not worry, Gadge, them
good times will come again.

Will they, though?

Will they?

MUSIC: There She Goes by The La's

We're leaving Downing Street for the last time
after eleven and a half wonderful years...

.. and we're very happy that
we leave the United Kingdom

in a very, very much better state

than when we came here eleven
and a half years ago.

Thank you very much. Goodbye.

Hello, gorgeous boy.

Oh, here he is. Where
the fuck have you been?

Oh, yeah, nowhere. Just the usual.

FBI Gadget interrogating
me about school dinners.

I swear to God, he's smelt a rat.

- Has he smelt a rat? - Yeah.
- Go on, what's happened?

Well, it's the... it's
the... it's the dinners.

It's the portions he's getting.
It's what he's getting.

- What's he come away with? - He knows, he
knows that what's in our bag isn't in his bag.

- I'm telling you.
- How does he know?

How does he know? He can't possibly
bloody know, Milk, if it's in a bag!

Yeah, but he hasn't actually
seen in the bag

because I've managed to
fend him off until now.

- Good lad.
- But he can smell it.

I'm telling you, the guy's like a blood hound
whenever it comes to anything deep-fried.

So what's he actually... What's
he come away with then?

You see this is the problem, Woods,
I actually feel sorry for him.

- He came away today with new potatoes
and coffee whip. - Oh, shit.

I mean, I had to pretend that I like
coffee whip and I frickin' hate it.

I can't take this pressure any more!

What do you mean you can't take this?

It's partly your fault,
really, isn't it? Cos...

- How? - Well, you've just got
to be better at what you do!

All right, then, here's a solution.
Here's a real good solution.

- I'll look after the kids
tomorrow... - Oh, no.

.. and you... Yeah! And you,
you go and deal with him.

No. You can't swap horses halfway
through a race, can you?

When's that ever been done?

If you want to fix this fast,
take him out of the queue!

Right, well, that's what needs to
happen. Take him out of the queue.

Listen, what's going to
happen if I pull him out?

He's manipulative when it comes
to food. What will he do?

He's going to go straight to Mr Skipper,
that's what he's going to do.

He's going to go in that office,

he's going to pull the
plug on the whole thing.

I don't know what else... What
do you want me to tell you?

- I'm going to have to think on it.
- He's daft as shit when it comes
to anything in life except for food.

Food, I know, I know.

It's just not bloody right.

What's not bloody right, love?

Taking food from kids.

I'm not taking it from the kids.

If they, if we didn't eat it, it would just
go in the bin. It's from the last sitting.

There's loads of food in
the cupboards here, Shaun,

- I just don't see the logic in walking two
miles for some. - It's not the same, is it?

You can't recreate a good
school dinner at home.

- It's just not right!
- What? Sausage and chips?

What's wrong with my sausage and chips?

Nothing, it's just... I don't know.

No-one knows, do they?

It's just school dinners are
loads better than normal.

Sausage has seen better days.

It looks grey.

Shaun, is now a good time
to talk about college?

No, no, it's not.

Never is a good time
to talk about college.

You know you've got to do
something about that, Shaun.

I don't want to go back to college,
Mum! I've told you this...

- Why not, love? - .. a million
times, cos it's shit.

Everyone's up their own arses.
I don't fit in there.

It's not my cup of tea.
I don't want to go.

You were great in that school play.

Oh, back to this again, are we?

Well, if you would've persisted at
that, just think where you'd be now.

Mum, I hated that fucking
course. You know I did.

Shaun, it wasn't the
course that you hated,

it was getting caught up in between
that young girl's legs.

- I don't know what you were
thinking? - How embarrassing!

It's bloody true.

I don't want to talk about it, Mum.

- I know you... - I don't
want to talk about it, Mum.

I know you've been upset about
Michelle. I know you have.

- I understand that.
- Mum!

But you can't spend your
life sat around here,

and you're never going to meet a
young lady, sat around that flat,

- smoking them funny fags
like them lot. - Mum!

One, I don't miss Smell, and two,
I'm off out tonight as it happens.

Where are you going?

Off down to town hall. There's
a Madchester thing on.

What's a bloody Madchester
thing when it's at home?

Well, it's like a disco. Have you never heard
of The Stone Roses or the Happy Mondays or owt?

Yes, I have, actually.

Waste of space. You can't
hear a word they're saying.

They look like they need
a bloody good wash

and a good sleep and an haircut.

MUSIC: Hallelujah by Happy Mondays

Is it really, really out of the question
to ask for half a cigarette or...?

It's finding half a cig to
be honest with you, mate.

Bit of mix then instead?

Three quarters there.

Spot on, brother, thank you.

Thank you very much.

What? What is this show?

Is it... It should be called

bummy, bummy, bum box telly.

It's WrestleMania, Kel.

It's a sport.

- It's gay.
- It's a sport.

- Look at these athletes,
playing a sport. - Warriors.

Warriors. Is there warriors
in that? It's not even real.

They're warriors. They're trained.

Their bodies are trained
to fight each other.

So you're telling me,
your attention right now

is not going to them fat,
cute, packed little pants.

- Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
- Why would we be looking at their pants?

Look at his sweat patch. It started
from his, his "gootchel" area.

- He's working hard, isn't he? - And he's sweating
all the way up to his bumbershnuck pack.

These guys are sweating because they're...

These guys are modern
day gladiators, mate.

All that's missing here is lions

and a guy doing, doing all that shit.

I bet you're getting a...

- a little titchy-tatchy
tuna dicky. - Fuck off!

MUSIC: Pour Some Sugar
On Me by Def Leppard

Oh, what the flipping aid is that?

Fuck knows.

That is unreal, man.

That is literally offending
my ears, that is.

That is fucking ear rape.

Where's it gone?

Freeze!

Only joking. We're not the cops.

Flip and Higgy. Good to see you.

Good to see you both.

You look far out, man.

You're looking well, both of you.

- Similar. - Cheers.
It's not an accident.

- Was that your music,
was it? - Absolutely.

- Awful, man. It's hurting.
- Oh, come on. - Loud.

- What you into? Roses and shit? - Yeah.

- It's gay. - It's gay? - Yeah. Proper.

- And it's a fucking con. - Yeah.

Elizabeth My Dear. Ten seconds long.

What you going to do during that?

You can't cruise very far.

- Not in ten seconds.
- Not in ten seconds.

- Nice one. - Ten second cruise.
- Cheers, lads. Wicked.

What the fuck do you want,
man? Why are you here?

It's funny you should say that, Harv.

I'm after some of the,
er, dopas mopas por favor?

- The what? - Come on, Harv,
you know what he means, mate.

No, I don't. I ain't got a clue.

A bit of Pat Cash.

What?

Some of the old, er, wacktoria backtoria.

Are you assuming I'm some drug
dealer or summat like that?

- Whoa, whoa, whoa! Let's not throw
words around like that, Harvey. - Sh.

I think we're safe here,
lads, to be honest with you.

You know, word on the street, you're
the Pablo Escobar on this estate.

- Yeah? - We've just come to see you.

OK. Right, what do you want, then?

- A quid's worth.
- A quid's worth?

Just for tonight. Get
it back in the morning.

You won't even know it's gone.

- Right, you're going borrow a
quid's worth? - Yeah, that's it.

- It don't work like that, boss.
- Let me explain.

- There's this bird. - Yeah?
- She's going to let me shag her

if I can get some of that stuff.
Now, she wants the Red Seals

but any old shit's sound.

So, I'm thinking is, I'm
going to let her sniff it

- while I'm up to me old tricks
in her knick-knacks. - Yeah.

Yeah? Pop it back in the wrapper,
nip it back round in morning.

You don't have to give me the full
quid back, just 50p or summat.

I'm telling you now, mate,
smelling it won't do fuck all.

- It will. - No, it won't, mate. It don't work
like that. It will. You have to burn it.

You have to burn it or inhale
it or eat it or summat.

- No, it's called sniff banging.
- Sniff banging.

- Yeah. - Right. - It's new.

- It's hot from the States. - OK.

Er, well, if I give it you, then, will
you take your shit heap and fuck off?

- Oh, I'll take that one. Go on, mate.
- No worries, mate. Enjoy this. - Very funny.

- There you go. There's your fucking quid's
worth. There's your molecule. - Thanks. Higgy.

- Knock yourselves out. - See you
in the morning. - See you later.

- See you later. - Enjoy, boys.
Yeah, nice one. - Brilliant.

- See you in a bit.
- Take care.

- Take it easy.
- Lovely.

What a rush!

I can see why that's addictive.

I feel like Anthony Montana!

Right, then, shall we say hello
to all the animals in the zoo?

Shall we say hello to all
the animals in the zoo?

Can you wave, Jimmy?

Say, "Hello, rabbit.

"Hello, donkey.

"Hello, turtle.

"Hello, lion." Roar!

- Should I go and check on the kids?
- No, she's fine, don't worry.

- They're a bit of a handful. - Oh, don't
worry. She's so good with them, isn't she?

Sun's out. They have
no cream on, have they?

She's fine. We've put some
sheets up and stuff.

She's made a little kind of pink
tent, pink palace, she says.

- Pink palace. - She's great with them,
isn't she? - Yeah, she is, yeah.

Is she staying here then
at the minute or...?

Yeah, just for a bit. She's here, sort of

now and then. A few nights, you know?

- What's a few nights, like?
- Well, a few nights a week, you know?

- A few nights a week?
- Four or five.

It's not been easy for her at home.
They've had a bit of erm...

- Her mum and dad have split up. - Oh!

- So she's just stopping here while
it, y'know? - It's a shame.

Give her a bit of stability, you
know, a bit of a normal family life.

So she's come to live here, my ex-lover,
she's... now she's living here?

- Well, at the moment, yeah.
- At the moment, yes. It's just...

She offered us rent, actually, didn't she?

- She offered you rent?
- She did.

- You said... - We said no. - Well,
we both said no, didn't we?

That's a really good idea.

Shall we sing?

♪ Twinkle, twinkle little star! ♪

I might just go... I might just
go and have a little look.

It's just the lack of cream on them.

No, no, can you... Richard. Sit down.

Jimmy burns. It's his ginger hair.

No, honestly, it's fine.
Sit down, sit down.

There's a little something,
isn't there, that er...

We've got a bit of er, well...

- It's a bit of a surprise.
- A surprise?

- We like to think... - The kind
of surprise where your kids can't
be in the room, kind of surprise?

No, it's so you can concentrate on it.

Call it our Cilla moment,
if you will, so...

- What is it?
- Is it a big black dildo?

- Bosh!
- Oh, come on, son!

- Bzzzzzzzz!
- Stop it, son!

- Really, no. - Went too far.
I shouldn't have done it.

- So, what's...?
- That's a moving cupboard

with a grunting thing in it, isn't it?

- That's got to be it, hasn't it?
- Is that the surprise?

It's a puppy, isn't it?

- Shall I er...?
- Is it a pig?

- One, two, three, four. - It's
moving. - You can come out now!

Hey! Surprise, surprise!

- It's Mr Squires!
- It is, isn't it?

What is he doing in that cupboard?
Why would you do that?

- Look at his face.
- I can't... Why?

- Look at your face. You didn't
know that was going to happen, did
you? - Hiya, mate. - So shocked.

Come here, give us a hug.

- Surprise! - You weren't
expecting that, were you, son?

- You're always saying
we're boring. - Yeah.

Not so boring now, are we? Ha, ha, ha!

- Surprise, surprise!
- Mr Squires in a cupboard!

Wouldn't call that boring!

Smell. Smell.

Ay up.

Shaun.

How are you? All right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Good. You look really nice.

Mm. Thanks.

The blue really suits you, in your hair.

Is that a real bird?

No, I'm a fucking vegetarian.

So, er, how's all the college
going? Are you still doing

- all your drawings and that,
enjoying...? - Yeah, great.

Would, erm...?

Later on there's this
thing at the town hall.

It's like a Madchester thing.

Like a mad rave. There's, erm, all the
gang are getting together and that.

We're all going to go, if you fancy it?

I don't think that would
be a very good idea.

Well, why not?

I've met someone.

What do you mean, you've met someone?

I've met someone.

He's called Harrison,
and I really like him.

Sorry, Shaun.

Well... good.

You know...

.. I'm happy for you.

You deserve better than what
I did to you, don't you, so...

I'm pleased you're moving on.

Right, well, I better
get going anyway, so...

At least think about coming tonight, yeah?

All right, I'll think about it.

- All right? - I'm cool, yeah.
All right, I'll see you later.

You see, the reason why I'm
here is cos I'm going solo.

I'm leaving the firm. I gave them the
opportunity to pay me what I was due,

and they turned me down flat.

- They fired you?
- So I'm setting up on me own!

- Wow. That's brilliant!
- It's amazing, isn't it?

- Back here, back where I belong.
- Really brave! - Brilliant.

- That's awesome.
- There's more.

- I want you with me. - Oh, now
then. - Back where you belong,

- by my side! - Yeah. - Eh?

- And I'm not just talking
wages here. - Yeah.

I'm talking about partnership.
Well, junior partnership.

- A junior partnership?
- Profit share, profit share!

- And what I'm offering you here, lad.
- Yeah? - I'm offering you the stars.

I'm offering you the moon on
a stick and a bag to put it in.

- I'm offering you the world!
- Amazing, that's fantastic.

- But the thing is...
- It wouldn't really work, would it?

It wouldn't really work
because of the children.

- He's got the kids. I'm at work.
- You could look after the kids.

She's doing her... dinner lady.

- No, I run the kitchen. - She's not just a dinner
lady, though, Mum. - I'm there full time.

- She's in charge of the
kitchen. - OK, well...

But I want you to see the potential
here, Rich. Do you know what I mean?

- I want you to understand what he's offering
you, lad. - No, I do. I get it. I do get it.

What about if Lorraine doesn't have to leave her
job? You can keep doing your boss dinner lady.

- I can't leave my job. - And maybe
Jennifer could look after the kids?

No, no. My former lover look after the
children instead of their mum and dad?

- That WOULD be comfortable(!) - I'll be
honest, I'm not comfortable with that.

- You've got to see the potential.
- Think about it sensibly.

To me, it looks a bit
like you're struggling.

- We're fine. - What do you mean,
it looks like we're struggling?

I don't... Hang on a minute. Whoa!
I don't comment on you and your
matching weird psychopath gear.

- Now, that's just rude. - He agrees.
You're being rude with me, Mum.

- I'm not being rude. - Assuming...
We might look like a bag of...

Stop talking. Don't you
judge me and my family!

We might look like a bag of
unorganised shit sometimes, pal,

but we are... We're fucking happy.

Isn't that every parent's dream!

- You fucking presumptuous pair of
arseholes! - Woody! That's it. OK.

Let's just all calm down. You've
pissed me off big time!

- All right, all right, son. That'll
do, that'll do, that'll do. - You've
gone way over, way over the mark.

- I think maybe... - I just want to
smash the fucking front room up. - Sh.

- I think we should take a break. - Trying to make
us wear slippers and shit in the front room.

What's happened to you?

- This has obviously not worked. - No, it
hasn't fucking worked. It's pissed me off!

- Let's just take a minute.
- All right, son, all right.

- Maybe a cup of tea.
- I agree with you.

Coffee or summat, I don't know.

- Presuming! Pre-fucking...
Making out... - Sh!

- We might look like shit, but we're fucking
happy! - OK, well, we'll just sort it out.

- She's crying now!
- Yeah, course she is.

Fucking water works.

Wowee!

What do you mean wowee?!

I've never seen you suck
a bong like that, mate!

It's how I always do them.

It's not how you always do them at all.

- Yeah, it is. - Gadget,
how does he do a pipe?

Normally takes a couple of
hits and pretends he's stoned.

- Fuck off, Gadge, you're always
doing that! - No, he ain't!

And the only time you've been really stoned
we had to take you to fucking hospital.

It wasn't the hospital,
it was the drop-in centre.

They still took you blood
pressure and your...

Well, how would you feel, if you thought you were
swallowing your tongue? It's a bit worrying.

It's a bit unusual, mate.

How you feeling? All right.
Will you just leave it out?

I'm just having a bit of a shit day!

Why you having a shit day?

It's me mam getting on
at me all the time and...

well, I went to the college
earlier on and I seen Smell.

And don't take the piss, mate.

Mm.

It's just a bit...

bit shit, like, she's got a new boyfriend.

Is he a pirate?

- What do you mean, is he
a pirate? - Is he a pirate?

- I don't know if he's a pirate.
- Why would he...?

So I tell you and now
you're taking the piss!

- No, he wasn't a pirate. - I've heard
that she's going out with a pirate.

I'm not being funny. That's what I heard!

Got a hook.

Fuck off, lads!

Actually, I've heard that she's going
out with a pirate, no bullshit.

She's not going out with
a pirate, all right?

Do you really miss her?

Yeah, a bit, like, but...

It's upsetting you that she's
out of your life and that?

Not really, well, a little bit..

Do you know what, Shaun? If you
want, I'll pretend to be her.

I rather you not, mate.

"Shaun, come on, we're off to Israel.

"Come on, Shaun."

- "Shaun."
- "Shaun."

- Don't, lads. Fucking hell.
- "Shaun, dress up for me."

"Shaun."

"Shaun, I want you to finger me."

"Shaun, my vulva is pulsing.

- "It's pulsing!"
- Shut up, lads.

Am I better looking than
her? Tell me the truth?

- Am I?
- Yeah.

You can fuck ME, then.

God, I actually just want
go out tonight now, lads,

and just get fucked.

Oh, well, we'll do that then, mate.

You're not going to be out
partying at the discotheque

- if you've just done that big suck here.
- Fuck off, mate, I'll be all right!

♪ There'll be no more Shauny
at the discotheque

♪ You'll be asking for Mummy
at the discotheque. ♪

Stop winding me up, mate. I'm
all right, honestly, fuck off.

You're not all right. You're
looking a bit floaty.

Floaty? I'm fucking fine. I'll have another
one if you think I'm that fucking bad!

Go on, then.

Go on, then, babe.

Ah, fuck, man.

There's no way I'm going back to that.

Absolutely no fucking way.

He'd make me shave!

- Bloody hell.
- He'd make me shave.

I'm happy, you know? Jesus Christ.

- That's the dream isn't it?
- Don't you want him to take it?

He does what he wants.
We'll manage without it

but if he wanted to do it he could.

If you want me to go back to the factory,

hand on my heart, I will
go back to that factory.

- I'm not going to make you go back to
the factory, Wood. - I know you won't

but we're not going to end up with
a great big fucking garden...

- Not on my wages, no.
- .. on your wages.

- You're just a dinner lady, love!
- Hey! - You're only a dinner lady!

That's what his mum kept saying to me.

We're all dinner ladies here. She
comes out with some shit, your mum.

She's a fucking gobshite. "Mr Squires in
a cupboard." I've never seen her like that.

By some fucking evil twist,
you're now the normal ones.

I love coming round here.

I can't stand going round there.

I wouldn't say that!

Trust me, we're not that fucking weird!

No, we've got two mums.

At least you've got a mum and a dad.

Oh, shit, yeah. I forgot about the dad

- and the hammer thing.
That is... - Woody. - Ooh.

- ♪ Gone too far. ♪
- Yeah.

Why would anyone do that?

- How could anyone ruin a...
- Just be quiet.

What's going on tonight?

I've heard there's a discotheque.

Is there a discotheque?

Yeah, there's a, erm, a Manchester night.

Mm, tell me about it.

So, it's like, all the music from the
bands in Manchester that's playing.

Oh, that sounds good?

Yeah, it will be good.

Will all the Manchester bands come here?

No. Ian Brown wouldn't
grace his presence here.

- Who's he?
- Ian Brown.

- Lol! - I'm not down with the kids.

I know who he is.

- Do you? - Yeah, I do! Der,
der... Kelly. - Go on, then.

♪ Der-der-der ding-dink digger-digger dink

♪ A flink-a-flonk, a
wank-a-chink ding-dong. ♪

Fucking Idiot's Gold, yeah.

- I know about them.
- Not quite like that, is it?

- Wanky-shank? - Wanky-shank,
a-dink-a-flank ding-dong.

- Yeah, I've heard them on the
radio. - Silly sod. - I have.

- Why don't you come with us?
- I think Lol should come.

What? To listen to that,
dick-a-dick-a-din-ding?

- It doesn't sound like that.
- Donk-a-ding-dong-ding.

I can't. I've got to pick the
kids up and then bath them.

I do all that. That's
no excuse. I'll do it.

an excuse! - They'll do it.

Why don't you go out, then?

- Because I am so busy.
Very busy. - With what?

With big long session wanks
to fucking Readers' Wives.

You asked me. I'm telling you. Do you want
me to... I don't want to lie to you, Lol,

or any of you for that matter.
I love you too much.

Are you coming?

I ain't got anything to wear and I'd have to
go back home, pick up my shirt, come back here.

- It's too much of a mission. - I've
got loads of your old Fred Perrys
upstairs and I don't wear them.

- I'm not going to be dressing up, am I?
- So that's a definite. - That's true.

- Let's get Lollipop
dressed up! - Come on.

- I didn't have no choice, did I?
- Are you all right with that?

- Yeah, we don't mind.
- We'll feed them and bath them.

- Enjoy your wank.
- I will do.

- I'll be thinking of you, Lol.
- You better be!

Thank you, girls. Awesome.

You won't lez off in front
of my kids, will you?

Oh, fuck off, Woody!

Thanks for bringing me here.

You're very welcome.

I thought it was just going
to be me and you, though.

Well... Well, me and Higgy.

Like I said, you, me and Higgy.

Just me and you. I thought
we were, like, on a date.

We are on a date, Sonia.

Yeah, the date's just between
me and you. Yeah.

But Higgy's always there.
He's my best pal.

World.

World.

Whoo!

Good upstairs?

Looks it, doesn't it?

There's a fucking lot of people, man.

Lads!

What's up?

I feel a bit sick, to be honest.

- Why? - That fucking weed, man.

- Here, chill out, man. Chill out.
- Are you having a bit of a whitey, Shaun?

You were sucking that bong
very hard, boss, weren't you?

Yeah, it's just the weed, mate.

You'll get over it in like
ten minutes. Don't worry.

Are you spinning a bit?

Shaun, just try and think
about something else, mate.

- Do you want a cuddle?
- Don't, mate, please.

What you need is more drugs.

I know it sounds bad at this point,
but you're going right down

- and you need to be brought
back up. - More drugs? - Yeah.

- Fuck that, mate. No way.
- Seriously. - This is different.

In ten minutes, mate, you'll
be fucking sound as a pound.

Think of it, yeah, weed's a downer,
speed's an upper, mate.

- Balance it out.
- Get a little dab of that.

Just have a tiny bit now,
you'll feel right as rain.

- Promise that'll make me feel
better? - I swear to you.

Dab a bit on your finger like that.

Get it right on your gums, man.

Don't even have to sniff it or anything.

- There's fucking loads on there.
- There's not! - Yummy. Check it.

- Seen how much I had?
- Get it down you.

- That's fucking minging!
- Horrible. - You get used to it.

You've had it, haven't you?

didn't we do it earlier?

VIP room? Me?

Only the best for you,
Sonia. Only the best.

Is that like famous people?

Loads of famous people in there.

- All the... - What's that?
- Famous people in the VIP. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. I think, erm,

Des Walker might be coming down.

- Des Walker?
- Yeah, good friend of ours.

- No!
- Yeah.

- Think he'd talk to me?
- I could introduce you, no probs.

So shall we pop off?

- Go and meet Des?
- Yeah, let's do that.

- Let's hold hands. - Yeah. - OK.

Higgy. Come on, Higgy.

Yeah, Higgy's coming.

After you, I'll get the door.

After you, mademoiselle.

- You all right, Col?

Good to see you.

You look just like Annie Lennox.

- Oh, thanks.
- Bros.

You're very lovely tonight, ladies.

Not as lovely as you, Sonia,
obviously. I was being nice.

- Anyway, can't stop and chat. See you
later. - See you in a bit. - Ta-ta.

Oh, hello, son.

It's your dad. Richard.

Yeah, I know. Dad, you don't have
to give me your... I know it's you.

You don't have to... Dad Richard?
What are you on about?

Thank you, son, that's...

For being so humorous.

Me and your mum, we felt that
we ought to apologise, son.

We're... We're very so...
We're very sorry.

What are you apologising for?

We're sorry. We're very sorry.

We meant well but, you know,

it didn't pan out quite
as we thought it would.

- No, it's gone massively tits up.
The thing... - Well... - Go on.

We'd just like to know that,

- if you think we should
ask Jennifer... - Oh.

.. to stop staying over, then
we are prepared to do that.

No, I don't want you to tell
Jennifer to stop staying over.

We... Because we have...

- For fuck's sake. - We have
been selfish. We have. - Mm.

- You know, you've just accepted it,
even though... - Listen, it's fine.

Well, it may well have...

It was obviously very,
very difficult for you,

then we went and did that with Mr Squires.

- I don't know what we were thinking...
- Dad... Dad... - It seemed

like a good idea the other night.

Looking back on it, it just seems
so stupid and I don't know why...

- Why we did it.
- It's fine!

It's... Honestly, I'd completely
forgotten about it.

I'm just sat here watching a doco.

- Are you sure, son?
- Yeah, honestly, it's...

Honestly, Dad, it's fine.

I don't want you to tell Jennifer
to move out of your house.

- I think it's amazing that you're
happy. I'm made up for you both. - Eh?

Is Mum there, right next to you?

- She is, yeah.
- I'm here as well.

Yeah, I know, I can hear you there.

us to say... - Course she's there.

- To tell Jennifer to leave.
That she can... - No.

- You just have to say the word. - You
just have to say the word, son. - No.

- Just say the word. - No, I'll
say two words -- it's fine.

How does that sound? Eh?

He says it's fine. He says, "Two
words -- it's fine," he says.

- Hilarious, innit?
- Ah, thank you, son.

No, it's all right. Listen, it's
fine. It's absolutely fine.

- Are you sure? You're absolutely sure?
- Absolutely 100% sure.

He's sure. He says,
"Absolutely 100% sure."

Yeah, nine o'clock.

What... What... What's the documentary?

It's about a tribe living in the jungle.

He's watching a documentary. It's
about a tribe living in the jungle.

jungle, son? Which...

- The Amazon. - The Amazon? - Yeah.

- It's the Amazon.

TV or a radio or anything.

Apparently they know about global warming

- without needing a TV...
- No technology of any kind.

Without any kind of technological
apparatus or anything like that.

They just... How do they...
How do they find out?

Have they got their own
sort of kind of inventions

made of bamboo or anything like that?

Like... Son?

Dad, hang on. Hang on
a minute. Just a minute.

- I beg your pardon, love.
- Ask him how much longer it's on for.

Oh, how long is it on...
How long is it on for?

It's on for another maybe half an hour.

Tell him we'll watch it when
you get off the phone.

Well, because... We might...
We might watch it ourselves.

- Yeah. - And then it'll be like, er...

Well, we can all watch it
together at the same time.

We can, like in different
houses. How mad's that?

- En famille, as they say
in... - Yeah. - In France.

Now, are we... Do you
feel like maybe we've...

Cos this documentary, I'm
just... I'm halfway in now.

- All right. Well, I'm sorry to
keep you, son. - It's all right.

It's... It's a great weight off our mind.

Yeah, well, now that I know you
can sleep, will you just...

Just go away?

Of course we will, son.

- Yeah.
- OK, son.

All right, Dad. I love you.
Love you, Mum. Bye, then.

too, darling. Speak to you soon.
