No, you'll get your money when I get mine.

Mum was never going to St Kitts, was she, Vincent? So, where is she?

-KNOCK AT DOOR

-Look, I... I...

I should get that.

-About that bit of business you and me have got.

-Yeah, Sharon.

-I've been meaning to get in touch with you.

-Er... Rude!

-I think I've waited long enough, don't you?

-Excuse me.

-I was here first. Get in line!

-Look, I... I...

I've got to speak to my sister, but look, come find me later.

I promise you I will sort this out, OK?

OK.

Maybe we should sit down.

Yeah.

There you go, mate. Laurel and Hardy and Coke.

Crack on.

Right, all we need is my Johnny home and I will be one very happy man.

-What's this?

-Nancy's back.

-She's been really good.

She's taken Ollie to his stay and play, so we can have a rest.

-Said it'd be all right, didn't we?

-I don't know.

-She seems out of sorts to me.

-How do you mean, out of sorts?

-Restless?

-Well, if she's unhappy then talk to her.

-You know Nancy.

She ain't the easiest.

I know, but sort it out before she kicks off again.

-I'll text her. Get her to meet us in the park afterwards.

-Good call.

-Let me guess, double vodka, drop of tonic.

-Slice of lemon and ice.

Oh, psychic, me. Psychic.

I don't believe you.

Mum is not some kind of murderer.

No way.

You are way off beam here.

Donna, she admitted it.

I ain't believing anything you say until she tells me herself.

There is no point. She won't answer.

I am her daughter!

She's not going to just walk off and never speak to me again!

She just has!

Look, if you don't believe me, ask Patrick.

I just made a complete and utter prat of myself.

-True.

-What was I thinking?

-Well, you obviously had something

very important that you wanted to say to me.

Idiot!

-It wasn't that.

-So, what was it?

-It doesn't matter.

-Come on. I'm here now. I'm all yours. Open ears.

It doesn't matter, all right, because the moment is gone.

-It's over.

-Look, you're a dirty, sweaty mess.

-Thank you so much(!)

I mean, you've obviously gone to a lot of trouble to get here.

I was just passing.

-Ah, you were just passing.

-Yes!

No...

-I thought you were getting married to Delphine.

-Me and...?

-Yes.

-Really?

-Yes!

-Why?

-Because I saw your cosy little pictures on the internet!

-Oh.

So you've been going through my stuff online, have you?

"Last night of freedom"! What was I supposed to think?

You've obviously been thinking a lot about me.

-I wanted to stop you from making a stupid mistake.

-Ah.

Yeah, because you and Delphine, you hardly know each other, do you?

How do you know?

We've been getting on better now than we were when we were together.

Yeah. We're talking, we're honest, open. You should try it sometime.

Listen, I can do open, all right?

Go on, ask me anything.

OK.

What are you really doing here?

-I already told you.

-Honestly.

-Look, I...

-You came here to stop me getting married, because...?

I didn't want to see you throw your life away.

Because you still love me.

Isn't it?

-That's what this is.

-No, that's ridiculous.

And you realise you'd made a big mistake letting me go.

No!

And now you just can't fight it any more.

You really are the most irritating and annoying man that I've ever met.

I'm getting in the shower.

They've gone to the park.

I've told Donna everything.

About Mum...

What happened with my Dad.

-Vincent said you were there.

-When Mum admitted that she'd killed him.

Yes.

Yeah.

But still... I...

I can't believe she just walked out and said nothing to me.

I told Donna Mum had gone on holiday.

I admitted that I made that bit up to try and soften the blow,

but the truth is...

We don't know where she is.

He... He's right.

After they argued,

Claudette just upped and left.

I... I don't think we're going to be seeing her again.

KNOCK AT DOOR

MUSIC PLAYS DOWNSTAIRS

I've been looking for you everywhere.

The photographer's waiting.

Sorry, I got a bit caught up.

Where is she?

I hope Delphine's taste in men is better than her taste in music.

-Seriously, who chooses U2?

-Ronnie, I presume?

Delphine...

-Congratulations.

-Yes.

Well, we got there in the end.

Yeah, listen, um...

I can't apologise enough. Um...

Actually, I don't know what came over me.

Guess it's the sort of thing we'll all laugh about.

In time.

So, now you're here, I hope you're staying for wedding breakfast.

-Oh, you don't need to be so kind.

-I'm not. I'm thinking of Jack.

-He didn't have anyone to bring.

-I'd like you to stay.

-OK.

-OK, I'll wait outside.

Thank you.

See you in a bit.

-Right, listen. I've got to go downstairs, do these photos.

-OK...

-Check on Amy.

-Fine, I've got to wait for my clothes to dry anyway.

I'll be downstairs.

OK.

Leave it to me, you said. Eh? You don't have to get involved.

-It's the last time, I promise.

-Oh, for heaven's sake, man!

How many more people are we going to hurt?

That girl think her mother has left her.

I mean, you have broken her heart!

Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind.

Seriously, you think the truth would have been any easier?

-Are you sure Ronnie is who you want?

-What can I do?

She's like this nasty but not bad-looking virus

I just can't shift.

Yeah, but the other week,

you were so sure you wouldn't go back for more.

You know what they say. Love is a drug.

Yeah. Yeah...

Just... She pulls me in.

The minute I see her... Before I know it...

Hey, listen.

I'm happy with Jamie. And I want you to be happy too.

So, if Ronnie's the one...

You're lovely.

-Why don't you go downstairs and get yourself a big drink?

-Yes!

Aren't you coming?

I need to go back to my room to fix my make-up for the photographers...

Photographs!

Yes.

-I'll see you there, yeah?

-Oui.

SHE SOBS

-KNOCK AT DOOR

-Hm, Mr Impatient.

Delphine...

Well?

The Albert? Where's my cash?

Just so that I understand, the other week, you let Jack walk away.

Now you're back. Why?

It's difficult to explain.

Can't make up your mind?

What happened to your husband?

Charlie, wasn't it?

I really don't think that's any of your business.

You weren't with him very long.

No.

No, I realised I'd made a mistake.

In what way?

I got bored.

Don't you think instead of talking about my husband,

-you should be dancing with yours?

-Jack's a good man.

-What's the matter, Delphine? Are you jealous?

-No.

I love the man I just married, but Jack,

he's become a good friend and he deserves someone special.

And you don't think that's me.

What he doesn't deserve is to be hurt again.

So...

unless you can trust yourself 100% not to break his heart,

then walk away.

Three of them, covered in mud. Weren't they, Mick?

-Head to toe!

-Half hour it took me to find out who Lee was.

-Your dad had to hose him down.

-Hm.

He always was a walking disaster. A boy's boy.

But Lee might not say it, but he...

He does care about you.

I care about him too.

You've got a funny way of showing it.

He's just so lucky.

Don't seem to matter how many times he messes up,

he just gets job after job.

-And he's got Whitney.

-And you had Tamwar.

I never really did understand why you two split up.

Is that what this has been about?

No.

Partly.

-I don't know.

-Cos most people just dig out Steel Magnolias,

eat a tub of ice cream and have a good cry.

I just...

I just feel lost, Mum.

I feel really, really, really frustrated.

Like I'm going to burst or something.

Yeah, well, don't cos this is a clean smother I've got on.

Funny(!)

I get it. I...

You know, I felt lost and then I met your mum.

So, when you were like nine?

-I'm 22, Dad.

-You're still young. You know, finding your way.

I just wasted so much time with like nasty boys like Wayne.

And then, when I met Tam, I thought he was different.

We might end up like you two.

But then, I guess he kind of let me down as well, really.

You can't just wait around for some bloke to sort things out for you.

-You've got to get on with your own life.

-What life?

I don't have a life, do I?

Well, then, you'd better get out there in the world and find one.

-Find something you want to do and go for it.

-Hold on. Easy.

-Hold up a minute.

-Like what, then?

-Well, that's for you to work out.

Repping?

I saw this documentary the other day about two kids from Deptford

who were in Borneo, counting orang-utans.

-Orang-utans?

-Unless you want to end up like me,

-stuck behind a bar the whole of your life?

-Oh, cheers!

-There's nothing wrong with that, by the way.

-How do I know?

I've never done anything else!

As soon as we get back, pen and paper, write a list,

give you something to work towards. And whatever you decide, me

and your dad will support you, won't we, Mick?

-Whisky!

-Whisky!

-Thank you.

-Cheers.

-Do you want a drink?

-Mais bien sur. Champagne? Champagne, champagne!

Congratulations.

-Thanks.

-Why do you need it in notes anyway?

Cash is the only language this person understands.

Look, Sharon, are you in a situation here?

I'm handling it.

Never thought I'd see this day.

-Are you sure you're not going to regret this?

-Regret it?

It's probably the best decision I've ever made in my life.

Cheers.

CLANKING

CLANKING CONTINUES

You must be Vincent.

Oh, good boy.

There's a good boy.

It don't seem two minutes since we was watching Nancy like this.

The way she used to pipe her hands.

Like they were from another planet.

She always was curious.

You're not angry with me, are you?

No.

It's just the thought of Nancy

going away.

A long way away from home.

And it's hard.

Time away from us might be exactly what she needs.

-You mean because of her epilepsy.

-Yeah.

We'll look into it.

If that is what she decides, we'll make sure she does everything right.

This ain't easy for me either.

Anything happened to any of our kids, you know I couldn't cope.

Yeah, I know.

I'll hate every second. Probably cry myself to sleep every night.

But if this is what Nancy needs, my blessing,

so that she can move on with her life...

Come here.

Come here.

Where's your mother?

She's gone.

Pity.

Can't say I'm surprised.

Was that what she told you to say?

And you being the loyal son...

She just up and went last night. Didn't say where.

I'm as much in the dark as you are.

She owes me.

What?

Arrears from years back.

I believe this is mine.

Across the eyes. It's uncanny.

You are definitely your father's son.

Me and your dad were old muckers, you know.

Until he passed.

Nasty business.

Yeah.

Look, this thing between you two, it was years ago.

-Why don't you just drop it?

-Hold on a minute, I'm old school, Vincent.

-Debts have to be paid.

-Yeah.

Well, like I said, I don't know where she is.

She could be out of the country, anywhere.

No matter. International borders are my speciality.

I'll soon catch up with her.

When I do, I'll give her your regards.

Look, look... What...?

What if I gave you some money? Cleared the debt?

Would you promise to leave her alone and not contact her again?

PHONE BUZZES

I've got your money, if you want it.

Meet me under the bridge.

Seven o'clock.

Now, where were we? Oh, yes. You paying off your mum's debt.

If the price is right, I won't even send her a birthday card.

Tell her, will you, Hon? Mitchells can be happy.

-Look at me and you, eh?

-GLASS SMASHES

Billy, Phil's lost it. I don't know what to do.

Take Matthew back to yours.

-Do you want me to stay?

-No, no. Go with Honey. I'll deal with him.

-You all right?

-Yeah.

-Are you sure?

-Yeah.

SMASH

GLASS SMASHES

Have you finished?

According to the doctor, yeah.

It's over.

This has got to stop, Phil.

You don't have to be like this.

Look at you.

Just look at you.

You are so broken.

You're so damaged by everything.

How has it gone this far?

How has it got this bad, Phil...

..that you're frightened to even hope,

to believe that anything good can happen in your life?

Keep the bag.

You know I'm only doing this because I'm a desperate old man.

Pity you had to be mine.

If I could turn back the hands of time, Sharon,

-things would have been, oh, so different.

-No, thanks.

They're bad enough as they were. Now take the money and get out of me

and my son's life, like you promised.

Bye, Princess.

Make sure it's for good!

Cos next time I won't be so nice!

It don't matter what I promise,

the doctor, yourself, anyone, it's...

It's got this... It's got...

It's got a grip on me.

It's OK, Phil. I'm here.

I know what I said.

But I don't want to die.

I'm...

Phil...

Phil, listen to me.

You're not going to die.

You're not going to die. I won't let you.

We've got each other.

OK?

That's all we've got now.

-That all of it?

-Don't worry, Mags. You'll get your cut.

Surprised the Hubbard boy rolled over so easy.

Guess some people really do love their parents.

-Except Sharon, who can't wait to get rid of you.

-Just drive, will you?

Oh, don't tell me there's a heart in there somewhere.

I wouldn't waste your tears.

Even if you did hang around when she was young,

you'd have made a lousy father.

Shut your mouth!

Or I'll kick you in the gutter where you belong! Right now!

Wouldn't want that, would you? Not the mess your life's in!

Yes, because of you!

Sharon is dead to me. I've got other things to concentrate on.

You're not going ahead with that?

It's insane! You're loaded. You can go anywhere you want.

End it, Gavin.

This is just the beginning.

Now, drive.

I couldn't just leave it there.

-Well, it's for the best.

-Not for me.

Please...

Please. I am trying, for once, to do the right thing.

To be a grown-up.

This is because of what Delphine said, isn't it?

Well, look...

it's not up to her, is it?

Please, Jack. I...

I'm broken.

I'm damaged.

The best thing for you would be to stay as far away from me

as possible.

-I'll be absolutely fine on my own.

-And what if I refuse?

My bounty is boundless as the sea.

My love as deep.

The more I give to thee, the more I have.

For both are infinite.

It's Romeo And Juliet.

-What? You learnt that for me?

-No, no. I got it on a tea towel.

-Jack!

-It doesn't mean I don't mean it.

Look, Ron.

I could go out of here and find a woman that was straightforward,

predictable, never gave me any grief,

but where would the fun be in that? I love you, Ronnie.

We only get one chance to stand here on this Earth, don't we?

I want to spend it with you.

Stand side by side, just me and you.

I love you, Ron.

Oh, yeah. Very good. SHE LAUGHS

Yes!

-Straight?

-Yeah.

There you go. There's no getting away from me now, L.

-Aw, I wouldn't want to.

-You're a beautiful little thing, ain't you?

-Oh, you reckon?

-Yeah, give us a kiss.

-Ooh, nibbles!

-Get yourselves in here, come on.

I thought we should have a little get together, a few little jars.

I know Nancy didn't go far, but I just wanted to welcome her home.

-Babe, I've got you a snowball.

-Ooh, bit early.

Ooh... There she goes.

DOG WHIMPERS

-What's the matter with her?

-She probably smelled Lee.

Reckon you should go and have a bath?

Smell of dough, that is.

Party?

There he is. Give him a drink, Mick.

-There you go, Bust. Get that down you.

-Thank you.

-DOG WHIMPERS

-Pipe down, girl!

-Just ignore her.

She's just happy that we're all back together.

Right. So, to love.

-Aw.

-Aw!

-To love!

-To love!

-Love, love, love.

-Love.

Lee pulled a mussel! It's a grandad joke!

I like the old ones.

-I'm going to see what she wants.

-You don't understand it, do you?

-No, but I wish he had.

-DOG WHINES

Sshh, you silly girl. You'll wake Ollie.

SHE WHINES What is it?

BABY WHIMPERS

Mick!
