27/10/2016 EastEnders

Oh, is that for me?

Oh, yeah. Lee, look...

I've been thinking...

Right, let's have a look at you, boy.

I'll tell you later.

He looks smart, don't he?

Yeah, well, I weren't really talking about the suit.

I just wanted a look at that lovely boat

before I shave them beautiful eyebrows off tomorrow.

-Very funny.

-Not before the wedding.

He'll be all right. We've got them Grandpa Munster ones, ain't we?

No-one'll know the difference.

-Can I cop for that, my little sweetheart?

-Yeah.

-Thank you very much.

-I think I might slip into your pamper night instead.

-No, you ain't, it's girls only. Sorry.

-All right!

Lauren got really upset when I put the dress on.

I hope she's still up for it.

No, of course she will be.

Listen, you just worry about the honeymoon, all right?

I'm sorting my leave out today and all.

-Seriously?!

-Yeah, couple of weeks.

Push the boat right out.

Got my waistcoats coming today and all. It's all happening.

-Waistcoats?

-Yeah, for Ollie and Louie.

They're so cute, you'll love them.

Now, all I've got to do is finish my dress.

Listen, I've got a delivery coming later,

do you mind keeping en eye out for it and make sure Whit don't see it?

-Sure.

-Are you using that?

-Yeah, well I've got an essay due for next week.

Ta, mate. See you later.

Welcome.

Just checking you're all right to pick the kids up after work, yeah?

Nice one. All right, see you later.

Yeah.

Oi!

This ain't a tip, you know!

You could give me a hand, you know.

Oh, sorry, yeah.

Just give me two minutes.

Oh! So, you've got time to read

but no time to tell your kids you're pregnant?

Here we go, another lecture.

No, no, no, what you choose to do in your employer's time

is none of my business.

You want something.

Well, you think I'm giving you another driving lesson,

you can think again.

Oh, I've got Vincent for that, thank you very much.

And just cos I skipped my test

doesn't make you better than me.

What you on about, "better?"

You and your reading. All la-di-da.

I thought you said this was none of your business.

Well, some of us have got better things to do.

Vincent is taking me out tonight. Somewhere romantic. Expensive.

Here it comes...

What?

I thought you would want to spend the evening

with your favourite niece.

Ah, you did, did you?

Well, no, no.

Because I've got my class.

Typical.

You're spending more time with this Jurgen, Jargen...

-Jorgen.

-Yeah, whatever his name is. ..than your own family.

Well, fine, we'll stay in.

See you, Honey.

What you looking at?

Your class is at the community centre, right?

So?

Well, they've stopped the classes this week

to make room for the kids' play scheme.

You're up to something.

Don't be silly.

Well, just give her some honey and lemon or something.

Yeah.

Is Arthur all right?

All right, yeah. Thanks, Mum.

All right, see you later.

Bex!

How was your mum's?

It was nice.

"Nice?" Is that it?

I...

I just think I'm better off without Shaki.

But I thought you two sorted everything out.

Why, has he done something?

No. No.

Honestly. I'm fine.

Hey, you all right?

Welcome back.

Louise is waiting.

Is she all right?

I don't know but, apparently,

she ain't with Shaki no more.

Good.

Martin, for goodness' sake,

-will you just be a little bit sensitive?

-Why?

He's no good for her.

I'll make sure he knows it and all.

Oh, leave him.

She's just said he ain't done nothing wrong.

And you believe her, do you?

Well, I don't know, but at least I'm listening.

How was it, then?

Did you get anything worth keeping?

Mum got me these for my bracelet.

They're so pretty.

My mum just sent me cash.

I got you something as well.

Aw, thank you. You shouldn't have.

I saw it and thought of you...

and Shaki.

It's a joke, yeah?

I know, it's...

It's just that I don't think we're together any more.

What?!

What, was it that bad?

It's not that. It's...

Do you mind if we go somewhere else?

Yeah.

Bex... Bex...

Oh, hello.

I'm sorry to hear about the flower stall.

Your Patrick told me all about it.

Oh, so he's still MY Patrick then?

Well, I ain't heard nothing to the contrary.

Mind you, he wouldn't discuss his private matters with me.

Why not? You two seem...cosy.

He was my Jim's best friend.

It's nothing more than that.

That's all there is to it.

Well, I won't wait forever.

Young man comes calling,

I want to be ready.

Yes, well, I'll have this ready for this afternoon.

Oh.

I know it ain't none of my business,

but I should save this dress for Patrick.

He's bound to come calling soon enough.

You've got to have a little faith, you know.

It's like that film, Brief Encounter.

Extraordinary things happen to ordinary people.

Yeah, but usually only in films.

I can't believe him.

Who does he think he is?!

What are you going to do?

I don't know.

But please, please, just don't tell anyone.

But he's a pig, Bex!

-You've got to...

-Please,

I just want to forget about it, Lou.

What do you want?!

Bex...

..can we go somewhere, please?

Does she look like she wants to talk to you?

I don't know.

-I just wanted to...

-Bit late for all that, yeah?

What kind of a boyfriend are you anyway?

Calling her "frigid?"

Well done.

What a boy.

Thank you!

There is so much stuff!

Do you think we've overdone it?

Oh, don't be daft, it's your wedding.

Oh, it's for Lee.

-What is it?

-Oh, I don't know...

-Is it for me?

-No, no...

-It is for me.

-Stop it. Oi, oi, oi.

What is all this stuff anyway?

-I mean...

-Right, well, where do I start?

I've got my flower baskets,

I've got beads for my dress...

And...somewhere...

This one,

present for Lee.

Just cos he's been so lovely.

Aww.

It's all stuff they need, sausage.

Right, come on, Whit.

You bring that lot and I'll take the wishing well.

OK.

I stopped by Kush's stall.

He's got some new jumper dresses in.

Might actually fit me.

What?

-Wouldn't have anything to do with tonight, would it?

-Oh!

What's this now?

Denise is going out...

but she won't tell us where.

Oh, sure she'll tell her old pops.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Hmm.

Oh, Claudette!

Claudette!

What, are you going to make me run after you?

You're looking fine today.

What is it, Patrick?

Come on now, man.

This heart, it's too old for heartache.

There is that beautiful smile.

Tell me I can take you out tonight.

You sure you wouldn't rather take Dot?

I only have eyes for you.

Pick me up at seven.

Oh, no. Wait, wait.

Let's say about 7.30. Only I've got to pick up something for...

For Dot?!

I can't believe you.

You might only have eyes for me,

-but Dot has the rest of you.

-Oh, come on.

Tell you what, tell you what, tell you what.

Tomorrow night, I'm going to take you out properly.

Wherever you want.

The full Trueman Show. Hmm?

Then I might...

do some cooking at home instead.

Yeah, man.

I've got the message, all right? Loud and clear.

No, that weren't what I was...

Just let me explain.

Explain?!

I mean...talk.

Apologise.

Five minutes.

Please.

Fine.

But not here.

Thank you for helping me.

Linda ain't exactly Vivienne Westwood.

I'm sorry about the other day.

I made it all about me.

Don't be silly.

You're my best mate.

You're always there for me.

I cannot believe

you're getting married next week!

I know! Nor can I.

At least I'm doing it in the right order this time.

Yeah.

You mean you haven't been dropping any pregnancy tests down the loo?

No...

..but I do think it's time to move on.

Look, don't tell anyone just yet...

Are you saying...?

Yeah.

I think I'm ready to start trying again.

Whit, that is amazing!

I'm so happy for you.

Thank you.

Come on, hold it up now.

-Let's see what it looks like.

-OK.

I love it.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

Oi! Get out!

You're not supposed to be in here! It's bad luck.

You do know it's my brother that you're marrying, don't you?

Yeah.

Well, I don't know the rules of brother-in-laws.

I'm not sure there are any rules.

I don't care. I ain't risking it.

Go on, we won't be long.

OK, all right.

-Well, let me just get my book.

-THEY LAUGH

Oh, Lauren, the waistcoats!

Look, cute!

You didn't have to get Louie's one. I will give you the money.

Don't be silly. There was enough left in the wedding pot. Just.

Oh.

So cute!

I know.

I got you a hot chocolate.

So, did you have a good time at your mum's?

It was fine.

Cool.

Did you see the card I posted on your page?

Cos there was this other one, with a cat and I wasn't sure if...

Whatever, Shaki. I don't really care about cats right now.

That ain't what I meant. I just, I thought...

What is this, anyway?

Why are we even here?

I don't know.

I just thought...

No, wait!

I'm sorry, all right?

I should never have called you "frigid".

No, you shouldn't.

I just...

I thought that you wanted to

-and then, all of a sudden...

-What?

What, I changed my mind?

Sorry if I don't know exactly what I want right now.

I thought you were my boyfriend, Shaki.

I was.

I am.

All this sex stuff,

it's become, like, a massive thing...

You don't think I feel that?

The more people go on about it, the...

You know?

But that...

That does not make...

That does not make me frigid.

I know.

I was just vexed.

I'm sorry.

I don't want to split up with you.

I don't want to either.

So...

So, do you want to come to round later and...

maybe watch a film?

Yeah, all right.

And...

And maybe...

What?

You mean...?

I don't know.

You can come round later and...

and we'll see.

Right.

I'm telling you,

-all those books, it's not natural.

-Yeah. Three point turn.

-What, here?

-Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Go on, then, you walking or what?!

So, I'm now going to have to pay for a baby-sitter

and I'm already forking out for this daycare.

She's so selfish.

And now, I can't go to the restaurant.

Can you concentrate on the road?

Do me a favour, Vincent.

You know this is not a real lesson, innit?

Yeah, but practice makes perfect, all right?

You rubbing my nose into it as well?

No-one's rubbing your nose in anything.

I know you can drive. Denise knows you can drive, all right?

-And I bet you're going to pass.

-Oh, yeah? And what's the odds on that?

At least I'm trying to show you that believe in you.

Obviously, you don't believe in yourself.

Stop talking rubbish, Vincent.

You're the one that bunked your theory.

You obviously don't believe in yourself that much, do you?

I mean, what's your problem with Denise anyway?

You're both trying to get on.

She's got her course, you've got your driving.

I mean, what's wrong with that?

Don't know.

Nothing, I suppose.

-HE CHUCKLES

-Right. Except...

she's actually doing it.

You feel bad cos you ain't doing the same.

You know, I always knew there was more to you about you

than those buff arms.

Yeah.

Where are you going?

To book my theory test.

-Now?

-Yes. Right now.

HORN BLARES

Oh, just hold on, man!

HORN BLARES I said, "Hold on!"

It's coming, innit.

-There you go.

-Whit, Whit, whip his strides off.

I'll handcuff him to the bar.

You been searching for stag pranks all day, have you?

No, no. I've had a bit of lunch, obviously.

Leave him alone. Right, are you going to show him or shall I?

Oh, go on.

Aren't they just the cutest things you've ever seen?

Yeah, yeah.

They're right cute, they are.

Listen, Whit, can I have a word?

-Yeah.

-Ta.

Is everything all right?

I'm so, so sorry but it just ain't going to happen.

One of the boys at work said I ain't been there long enough

so there's no point in me even asking.

Lee, slow down. What's happened?

My leave. I ain't going to be able to get the time off.

Not even for the wedding.

-What?!

-Well, don't worry. We're still going to get married.

I'm just going to have to pull a sickie.

Right, well, can you do that?

I'm going to have to, ain't I? We ain't putting off the wedding.

But we are going to have to put off the honeymoon.

-No...

-I'm really sorry.

..as long as the wedding is till on, that's all that matters.

And your mum said Torquay's really nice, so...

I don't mind there for the weekend.

Right, well, then we'll do both.

We'll do the weekend first and then we'll do the proper one afterwards.

No expenses spared.

All right, then!

I just want everything to be perfect for you.

It already is.

What about one of them pashminas?

Cara Delevingne won't leave home without one.

-Let's have a look then.

-Oh, yeah, proper socialite.

All you need is a little dog in a bag.

What's the occasion anyway?

No, no, no. No, there's no occasion.

Don't listen to her.

She bought a dress earlier, too.

Oh? New man?

Please, don't be ridiculous.

How much do I owe you?

I will do it for eight

if you tell me where you're going.

Well, there's ten.

Right, stag pranks.

Get you drunk and then...

leave you in a...

..taxi?

Yeah, this ain't really your thing, is it, mate?

No, it is not.

That package arrive?

Oh, sweet.

I...

saw your honeymoon ideas.

You're really going all out for this, ain't you?

Yeah, well, we've had to delay it, ain't we?

-So, all the more reason to spoil her.

-Yeah, yeah.

I guess with all Whit's spending and...

your presents...

It all adds up, don't it?

What's that got to do with you?

Have you seen those?

60 quid, they cost.

You saying I can't spend 60 quid on my missus?

No, of course not.

Look, Whit deserves the best, so why shouldn't I give it to her?

Yeah, look, you're right. Sorry, I'm being an idiot.

I'm being an idiot.

Oh, mate, Martin, Kush, Shrimpy are all in for paintballing and curry.

Your army lads, too. It's going to be quality.

Sweet.

RADIO: # She is beautiful

# She's so lovely

# She's so lovely

-SHE SINGS:

KNOCK ON DOOR

Yeah?

I was just...

I was just checking that you were all right.

Shaki's coming over.

Oh!

Oh, you two sorted things out?

Oh, OK. Well, do you want to talk about it or...?

It's all right.

We're...

Honestly, we're fine.

Thank you.

Oh.

All right.

OK...

There you go, mate. Just call it a couple of quid.

Cheers, Mart.

So, how are you finding life as the boss then?

I'm a Mitchell, ain't I?

It's in the blood.

-Really?

-What's that supposed to mean?

Well, what kind of boss lets his customers

wade through rubbish to get to the door?

Oh!

I hope he's worth it.

"AMERICAN IDIOT" BY GREEN DAY BLARES

Look, there's no need to check up on me!

I said I'll make an appointment!

Don't go pestering me!

Dot, I'm not checking up on you!

I just brought you these new glasses!

What for?

What on earth are you listening to?

I couldn't say!

It's that digital Dab!

You know, that wireless what I won in the church raffle!

And you have to press these here buttons

and get the stations - oh, I don't know!

Well, these should help in the meantime.

They're the strongest you can get from over the counter.

All right, I'll give them a try.

VOLUME DECREASES

MUSIC STOPS

Oh, thank goodness for that.

-Since you're so handy...

-Hmm?

..could you help me with my soundproof curtains?

I'll make you a fish pie.

Yeah, I'll do that tomorrow

if you would honour me with a dance.

No, none of that.

Claudette, your Claudette,

she was in the launderette today and she weren't best pleased.

-What?

-And she's going to be even worse pleased

when she sees her dress.

Look at this.

Look at them there beads.

I suppose I'll have to pay for it.

No, no, no, it's all right. I'll take it for her.

I'll sweeten her up.

Oh.

You...

You're a good friend, Patrick. Thank you.

Right.

All right?

All right?

Have you thought any more about dinner?

Not Chinese, though.

Yeah, it's all right, I'll sort something. Is Bex in?

Yeah she's upstairs, but don't go up

cos Shaki's coming round in a minute.

Oh, great(!) That's back on, is it?

Look, I'm telling you now, Stace,

I am not leaving him alone with her again.

Oh, Martin! Will you just give them some space.

Yeah, that's a great idea, Stace... DOORBELL RINGS

..why don't we just book them a hotel room while we're at it?

All right, Shaki?

All right, Mrs Fowler?

Mr Fowler.

Is Bex in?

Yeah, she's upstairs, go up.

HE SIGHS

So, that's that then?

Yes, Martin.

They had a fight, they sorted it out. End of.

Yeah, till the next time.

Look, I am telling you, Stace, he is no good for her.

He is a nice boy and you know he is.

And Bex is 16.

In case you ain't noticed, she is a grown-up and all.

So, we can either kick off and mess it up again,

or you can just trust that Bex will make the right decision for herself.

Why do you have to be right ALL the flipping time?

The London Stadium.

I mean, it's crazy, ain't it?

It's a bit new at the minute, ain't it?

It is a bit, isn't it? Hold up, hold up.

Here, boy...

get that down the old scrag.

Shouldn't he be being the rounds now? Made of money, ain't you?

I thought you're the one that's meant to be the manager, ain't you?

-Finally, a bit of respect.

-Drinks on you, yeah, Billy?

No, that is not what I meant.

Actually, you should be saving yours, Lee, for the honeymoon.

Whit ain't going to be doing no budget airlines, is she,

now you're a city boy?

Oi, stop it! Lee knows I don't mind where we go.

As long as it starts in "Bar" and ends in "bados".

No, that ain't true!

Has Donna gone home, has she?

I think she went for a pony.

I mean, she's been gone a while.

Oh, right.

Do you know what? I've left my mobile at home.

-Keep an eye on that, will you?

-All right, son, yeah.

Hey.

Pearl is fast asleep.

I'll get some glasses.

I just ran into Sharon and Dennis.

Apparently Dennis has been at the play centre all day...

which is in the same place that Denise has her classes...

..which open late for working parents...

-..which means there's no class tonight.

-Ah!

I knew she was acting shifty.

And apparently, Donna saw her heading out in some new outfit

and she wouldn't tell her where she was going.

So she didn't want to babysit.

It ain't the worst thing anyone's ever done.

There's more to it.

Honestly, she doesn't tell me anything no more.

Look, just give her some space.

I'm sure she'll start to open up again soon.

There ain't no time, Vincent.

She's having a baby

and she hasn't even told the girls.

She's cutting us out.

She will not thank you for interfering.

Are you going to pour this or what?

Hey, how was your mystery night...?

Don't.

I don't even want to...

Oh, you snuck off quietly.

You all right?

Yeah, I'm just knackered from work.

Come here.

You know, you really shouldn't listen to them.

I want to marry you.

That is all I want.

I know.

That and matching lilac waistcoats.

Well, yeah. Obviously.

And a wishing well.

Yeah, all right, stop it now.

That was your mum's idea anyway.

Do you think it's too much?

I can send it back in the morning.

What? No! Don't be silly, it's good stuff.

-Are you sure?

-Yeah.

Yeah, of course.

I wish I didn't say anything now.

What is a wishing well anyway?

It's for the guests to put money in.

-It's for us.

-Ahh!

So, at least we'll be earning some of it back, then.

Well, yeah.

Anyway,

I ain't the only one that's been spending money.

I hear someone got me a present.

I don't know what you're talking about.

All right.

Well, fine. I didn't get you one either.

No, you didn't. You did?

Did you? What is it?

It's just a little something to say...

how proud I am of you...

Yeah?

..and thanks for everything you've ever done for me.

And then, once we're married...

..I want to give you another present.

We can try again...

for a baby.

We're ready, ain't we?

Yeah, of course.

You've given me everything, Lee.

You know...

we're getting married.

We're getting our own place soon.

I just want to make you happy...

like you make me happy.

Come here.

I'll never let you down, you know that.

Never.

All right, so I'm thinking, gaffer tape.

We'll get untold of it,

we'll strap him to the sign above the Vic, right,

-and we'll leave him there all night.

-Yes, nice.

-It's got to be the one, ain't it? It's got to be.

-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

-Bill, your booze is here.

-Oh, right. Cheers.

What's that smell?!

I'm just going to...

Take your time, won't you?

Anyway, I think the best bit, best bit, right,

is in the morning when we get him down, right?

I'm thinking just like...

wax the life out of him.

-Oh!

-Oh!

-Ow, ow, ow.

-Sorry!

-My hair, my hair, ow!

-It's my bracelet. Hang on.

Your chastity bracelet?

Yeah.

Good to see it's doing its job.

Do you...?

Do you mind if we try again another time?

Bit of a mood killer, wasn't it?

I just want it to feel right.

Me, too.

Let's just wait till it does.

HE SIGHS
