That you, Den?

0:00:590:01:00

-Oh, don't do that, Den. I could do with a laugh!

-I don't want Sharon and...

0:01:000:01:04

We have a lot of things to talk about. This is the only time before this place turns into a madhouse.

0:01:040:01:08

I've got a million and one things to do.

0:01:080:01:09

-It'll have to be some other time.

-Will you stop doing that and sit down?

0:01:090:01:12

All right, keep your hair on!

0:01:120:01:15

-Don't look at me like that, I know what you want to talk about.

-Yeah?

0:01:150:01:18

Yeah. The staffing problems.

0:01:180:01:19

Is it my fault everybody's walked out? The question is, what are we going to do about it?

0:01:190:01:23

How long is Lofty going to be off with his asthma attack?

0:01:230:01:25

It could be ages and ages.

0:01:250:01:27

The hospital might not let him back cos of all of the smoke round here.

0:01:270:01:30

And if Kathy stall works out, she might not want to come back.

0:01:300:01:32

Ethel's gone geriatric. Mind you, we've sorted that.

0:01:320:01:35

Pauline's doing the cleaning, but she might not stay.

0:01:350:01:37

All we need is Michelle to get in the club again, or Mark to come, and we're back where we started.

0:01:370:01:41

-Ange, I am not talking about staff!

-I know what you're talking about.

0:01:410:01:44

It's the bar work, innit? It's only you, me and Wicksy now.

0:01:440:01:47

It ain't good enough. When was the last time we had a proper day off?

0:01:470:01:50

MUSIC PLAYS

0:01:500:01:52

-Listen, Ange.

-Den, would you stop following me around?

0:01:570:01:59

Go downstairs, do something, start bottling up.

0:01:590:02:01

Why is it always me who does the work round here?

0:02:010:02:03

Sharon's off school, you're her father, tell her she should be giving a helping hand.

0:02:030:02:07

-What are you doing?

-Give it a rest. What have you got? Verbal diarrhoea or something?

0:02:070:02:11

-I beg your pardon?

-Well, shut it, then.

0:02:110:02:12

I'm trying to tell you something. Communicate, talk.

0:02:120:02:15

I'm not on about the staff, I'm not on about Sharon,

0:02:150:02:18

I'm not even on about the colour to paint this poxy room.

0:02:180:02:20

I'm on about our future. And it's important, so shut up and listen.

0:02:200:02:24

Exactly. Every time we talk about OUR future, I have to shut up and listen.

0:02:240:02:27

-Typical.

-I've thought long and hard about what I'm going to say to you,

0:02:270:02:30

and it is the hardest thing I am ever going to have to say to you, all right?

0:02:300:02:33

I've spent hours walking round the square with Roly trying to work out the best way to put it.

0:02:330:02:37

Well, you'd better go round again. Check you've got your lines right.

0:02:370:02:40

-Rehearse it all over again.

-How long have we been married?

0:02:400:02:43

Den, you're not saving up for our silver wedding already, are you?

0:02:430:02:46

18 years. And in the beginning, it was good.

0:02:460:02:49

We both wanted the same things. We both worked damn hard to get them.

0:02:490:02:52

That's what I keep telling you.

0:02:520:02:53

Yeah. Then the bubble burst, the dream faded.

0:02:530:02:56

There ain't no big house in Reigate, there ain't no patter of tiny feet.

0:02:560:02:59

All we've got is a shambles, this pretence, these lies.

0:02:590:03:01

-Look, Den, I haven't got time...

-Will you stop it!

0:03:010:03:03

-SHE SCREAMS

-Will you stop avoiding the issue?

0:03:030:03:06

Will you stop making it impossible?

0:03:060:03:08

SHE SOBS

0:03:080:03:09

CLATTERING

0:03:100:03:11

-Den, no, no.

-Down. Down.

0:03:130:03:15

Now, stop it. Leave it. Leave it. I'll do it later.

0:03:290:03:32

I'm leaving you, Ange.

0:03:360:03:38

Did you hear what I said?

0:03:400:03:41

Yeah. I heard what you said.

0:03:450:03:47

Is that it, then?

0:03:510:03:53

No apologies and explanations thrown in for good measure?

0:03:530:03:55

Yeah, of course.

0:03:550:03:57

What's a marriage for, do you think?

0:03:580:04:01

-Is this it?

-What?

0:04:010:04:03

The apologies and explanations?

0:04:030:04:04

-If you like, yeah.

-What's a marriage for?

0:04:040:04:07

I don't know, Den. I give up. You tell me.

0:04:080:04:10

Friendship, support,

0:04:100:04:12

companionship, home comforts.

0:04:120:04:16

Love, sex.

0:04:160:04:18

-All of those, I suppose.

-And what do we get out of it?

0:04:180:04:21

None of them. Because instead of friendship, we play war games.

0:04:210:04:25

Instead of home comforts, we have a battlefield.

0:04:250:04:27

There is no mutual support, because we pull the ground from under each other at every opportunity.

0:04:270:04:31

-Keep it up. You're doing well.

-There's no love...

-Is this the bit you rehearsed with Roly?

0:04:310:04:35

There's no love, no warmth...

0:04:350:04:37

Nothing. It's all gone. All we've got is rows and bitterness.

0:04:380:04:41

And we ain't even got a sex life.

0:04:410:04:43

And you can't have a marriage without that, can you?

0:04:430:04:47

-Some people do.

-Not me, because, if we still had that,

0:04:470:04:50

then maybe I could put up with everything else.

0:04:500:04:52

If we had that, everything would be different.

0:04:520:04:54

It's madness. I don't know why we stuck it for so long.

0:04:540:04:57

Cos I hung on like a bloody limpet, you bastard.

0:04:570:05:00

CLATTERING

0:05:000:05:01

-You what?

-For practical reasons, I expect.

0:05:010:05:05

I want a clean break, Ange.

0:05:050:05:07

Not just from you, but from this pub, the square, and Walford.

0:05:070:05:10

I see.

0:05:120:05:14

THUDDING

0:05:140:05:15

I'll leave you the business, all right?

0:05:210:05:23

Without me here causing trouble, you'll be able run this place

0:05:230:05:26

with one hand tied behind your back, no problem.

0:05:260:05:28

What are you going to do when the dust comes off your twinkle toes?

0:05:280:05:32

Get another pub, I suppose.

0:05:320:05:34

Oh, Den.

0:05:340:05:36

The penny drops.

0:05:360:05:38

That's what you've been hatching with Willmott-Brown, innit?

0:05:380:05:41

Getting him to find you a new pub.

0:05:410:05:44

-Will he?

-He already has.

0:05:440:05:47

Well...

0:05:470:05:49

he's got a pub in mind, he's just got to work out the exact details.

0:05:490:05:52

Right.

0:05:520:05:54

How are you going to run it on your own, without me to do the books for you?

0:05:540:05:57

Jan'll do the books.

0:06:020:06:05

Oh, yeah. I wondered when we'd get round to her.

0:06:050:06:08

-She moving in with you?

-Yeah.

0:06:080:06:10

Yeah, of course, silly question.

0:06:100:06:12

-Marriage?

-No, it's too soon...

-I said, marriage?

0:06:120:06:15

Yes.

0:06:150:06:17

So you and me are talking divorce.

0:06:170:06:20

Yeah, I suppose so, yeah.

0:06:200:06:22

It's all right, Den.

0:06:230:06:24

I just want to get things straight in my mind.

0:06:240:06:27

Oh, I want to be straight, Ange.

0:06:270:06:28

I want to be dead straight.

0:06:280:06:30

It's ironic, innit, eh?

0:06:330:06:35

CLATTERING

0:06:350:06:37

Just as our marriage is ending,

0:06:370:06:39

I actually feel the need to be honest with you for the first time,

0:06:390:06:44

and I want to be civilised.

0:06:440:06:46

I WANT to be honest with you.

0:06:460:06:48

Well, careful you don't overdo it, Den. Mind you don't blow a fuse.

0:06:480:06:51

Why are we standing here talking about why our marriage failed?

0:06:510:06:54

Cos of her! It's cos of her we're standing here talking about a bleeding divorce, innit?

0:06:540:06:58

Jan is just a symptom. If things were right between us, I would never have looked at her.

0:06:580:07:02

-You're a bleeding hypocrite.

-OK.

0:07:020:07:04

It is because of Jan that things aren't right now between us.

0:07:040:07:07

But it comes down to the same thing.

0:07:070:07:09

-I love her, and sex with...

-Don't say it! I do not want to hear it.

0:07:090:07:13

I don't want that much honesty!

0:07:130:07:15

Sorry.

0:07:190:07:22

We're supposed to be being civilised about this, ain't we?

0:07:220:07:25

WASHING MACHINE RUMBLES

0:07:250:07:27

I agree with you.

0:07:270:07:30

I agree with everything you say.

0:07:300:07:31

If you love her,

0:07:330:07:35

and we're no good together, then we're better off apart, aren't we?

0:07:350:07:39

So you can have your divorce.

0:07:390:07:41

Don't look so surprised.

0:07:410:07:44

I know when I'm beat.

0:07:440:07:45

It's no good flogging a dead horse, is it?

0:07:470:07:49

No.

0:07:500:07:52

Right.

0:07:530:07:54

Practical details.

0:07:570:07:58

I just hope that we can...

0:08:000:08:02

split up without the usual arguments and bitterness.

0:08:020:08:05

And uh...

0:08:050:08:06

..who knows?

0:08:080:08:09

When we're not living together,

0:08:110:08:13

probably we'll get on like a house on fire.

0:08:130:08:16

Probably start fancying each other all over again, eh?

0:08:160:08:18

Yeah.

0:08:180:08:20

As I said, practical details.

0:08:200:08:22

Who, what, when and where?

0:08:220:08:24

Who gets what? How do we tell Sharon?

0:08:260:08:28

WHAT do we tell Sharon?

0:08:300:08:32

And...

0:08:320:08:34

will I get reasonable access to see Roly?

0:08:340:08:36

Yeah. Erm...

0:08:380:08:39

..I just want you to tell me what's best for you, OK?

0:08:410:08:44

OK, I'll think about it.

0:08:450:08:48

Good.

0:08:480:08:50

I said I'll think about it, Den, but not right now.

0:08:500:08:53

Cos right now, I've got a lot of things to do, and I want to get on.

0:08:530:08:57

It's a shock. Do you understand?

0:08:570:09:00

You have to give me time to absorb it.

0:09:010:09:03

Let me put me war paint on, feel a bit more human, then we can talk.

0:09:030:09:07

Why don't you ring her? You did say that you were going to tell me today, didn't you?

0:09:070:09:10

-Yeah.

-Well, put her mind at rest.

0:09:100:09:12

Tell her I agree to everything you want, in principle.

0:09:140:09:17

And then let the window cleaner in, cos he's got to do the windows.

0:09:170:09:20

Thanks.

0:09:310:09:32

I could let him go, couldn't I?

0:09:410:09:42

Good riddance to bad rubbish, eh?

0:09:430:09:45

Let that cow get her hands on him?

0:09:480:09:50

Not bloody likely.

0:09:500:09:52

# Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay...

0:09:520:09:55

# My, oh my, what a wonderful day.

0:09:550:09:57

# Plenty of sunshine... #

0:09:570:09:59

Don't cry yet, girl.

0:10:040:10:05

You got a long way to go.

0:10:070:10:08

DEN WHISTLES

0:10:100:10:11

Den, I want to talk some more.

0:10:200:10:22

-I thought you wanted to leave it until later?

-No, now.

0:10:220:10:25

Yeah, course, yeah.

0:10:250:10:26

-There's something I have to tell you...

-I didn't ring Jan...

0:10:330:10:35

-Sorry...

-Ring her now.

-No, there's no rush...

-Go on.

-No.

0:10:350:10:38

I want to be able to give her definite plans, all right?

0:10:380:10:40

I want to get it right this time.

0:10:400:10:42

You may think that I've mucked you around, but I mucked her around and all.

0:10:420:10:45

In fact, I've mucked everyone around the last couple of years or so.

0:10:450:10:49

-Den...

-Listen.

0:10:490:10:50

I don't want you to say a word to anyone, all right? Not even Kath.

0:10:500:10:53

Not until I've clinched this deal with Willmott-Brown.

0:10:530:10:56

Till I've got a firm date.

0:10:560:10:58

Because I am going to need somewhere to hide, all right?

0:10:580:11:00

Because when this lot find out,

0:11:000:11:02

they'll be like hounds baying after the blood.

0:11:020:11:04

The whole of Albert Square's going to be against me.

0:11:040:11:07

I don't mind that, I can take it.

0:11:070:11:08

I am big enough, and I am ugly enough.

0:11:080:11:10

The only thing I hope is that

0:11:120:11:14

Sharon doesn't hate me too much.

0:11:140:11:16

-She will in the beginning.

-ENGINE STARTS OUTSIDE

0:11:160:11:18

But I hope that, by the end, she'll understand.

0:11:180:11:20

And I want you to promise me that, well...

0:11:200:11:23

-that you won't turn her against me.

-Of course I won't.

0:11:230:11:25

I'll talk to her,

0:11:250:11:27

I'll try and make her understand.

0:11:270:11:29

She has been living here, so obviously, she knows what's been going on.

0:11:290:11:33

And even though she's living with you,

0:11:330:11:35

I want her to feel that she can come and stay with Jan and I

0:11:350:11:39

any time she wants.

0:11:390:11:41

I'm going to leave you the business and the bank account.

0:11:410:11:45

I'll just take my car and my clothes.

0:11:450:11:48

Not much to show for 18 years hard graft, is it?

0:11:480:11:52

-And...

-Look, Den.

0:11:520:11:54

When I came downstairs, I said there was something I had to tell you.

0:11:540:11:57

-You haven't asked me what it was.

-Well, what is it?

0:11:570:12:00

God, now it comes to it, don't it?

0:12:010:12:03

I don't know if I can say it.

0:12:040:12:05

But I'm going to have to.

0:12:080:12:09

Cos, if I don't, people round here are really going to think

0:12:100:12:13

you're a rat deserting a sinking ship.

0:12:130:12:15

It's a mess, innit?

0:12:180:12:19

-What are you on about?

-Look...

0:12:220:12:24

we're splitting up.

0:12:240:12:26

I accept that.

0:12:260:12:27

It's just that...

0:12:290:12:30

what I'm going to tell you

0:12:300:12:32

will affect the way we handle things.

0:12:320:12:35

You're right, people in the square will think the worst of you now,

0:12:350:12:38

even more so after I've told you what I am going to tell you.

0:12:380:12:41

And I have to tell you, Den.

0:12:410:12:43

Cos it would be selfish of me not to.

0:12:430:12:44

Have you finished?

0:12:440:12:46

Would you tell me what you're rabbiting on about,

0:12:460:12:48

-otherwise I'm going to go out and sort out them bottles.

-Den...

0:12:480:12:51

Erm, excuse me.

0:12:510:12:54

Well, go on.

0:13:070:13:08

You know I've been feeling ill since before me and Sharon went to Disney World.

0:13:100:13:13

Before you say another word, I went to see Dr Legg. I know I shouldn't have done behind your back.

0:13:130:13:17

-I had to find out why you kept going to see a quack, he's told me about it.

-What did he tell you?

0:13:170:13:21

-You want me to spell it out?

-Yes, I want you to spell it out.

0:13:210:13:23

-He said you're fast becoming an alcoholic.

-Great.

-I'm sorry, Ange.

0:13:230:13:26

It's my fault, I brought you to this.

0:13:260:13:28

That's another reason why we have to split up. So you can get better.

0:13:280:13:31

It's not easy for me, you know. It's no joke living with it.

0:13:310:13:34

-Poor old Den.

-And Legg understood that.

-Oh, did he(?)

0:13:340:13:37

Yes, he said it was a well-known fact

0:13:370:13:38

-that people who are married to alkies have a hard time of it.

-Shame!

0:13:380:13:42

-I tried to talk to you.

-Correction - you don't talk.

0:13:420:13:44

I try to talk to you. You avoid me!

0:13:440:13:46

That's because you're always smashed out your skull, on another planet, incommunicado!

0:13:460:13:50

-I also tried to give you my love.

-You try to give me love?!

0:13:500:13:53

Don't make me laugh. Do you ever wonder why I jump into a bottle?

0:13:530:13:56

-That's what he told you about, he told you about the drink?

-Isn't that enough?

0:13:560:13:59

That's all right, then. Cos if the hospital told Legg, Legg would have told you. Right?

0:13:590:14:03

Booze, my darling, is the least of my problems.

0:14:030:14:06

In fact, from now on, I intend to drink like a fish.

0:14:060:14:09

I'm ill, Den. I'm really very ill.

0:14:090:14:12

-Yes. You're ill because you drink too much.

-Listen!

0:14:120:14:14

You're going to listen to me for once.

0:14:140:14:15

It's nothing to do with the booze. It's something completely separate.

0:14:150:14:18

-Oh, I thought we were going to be adult about this.

-Yeah, we were going to. You know why?

0:14:180:14:22

Cos I was going to spare your precious feelings, though God knows why!

0:14:220:14:25

I've been waiting for this, waiting for the backlash.

0:14:250:14:28

So you're ill, are you? Well, what's wrong with you, eh? What you got?

0:14:280:14:31

Got headache? Do you want to go and lie down?

0:14:310:14:33

Do you want me to bring you breakfast in bed? Hot water bottle? Eh?

0:14:330:14:37

Some aspirin? Alka-Seltzer?

0:14:370:14:40

Don't try that one on me, Ange, because it won't wash.

0:14:400:14:42

No way you're ever going to get me back.

0:14:420:14:44

I'm scared! You stupid, idiotic little man.

0:14:440:14:48

I'm scared!

0:14:480:14:49

Do you know what it's like since they told me? I feel like I'm locked inside a cell.

0:14:490:14:53

With the walls closing in on me, the ceiling pressing down, the floor coming up to meet me.

0:14:530:14:57

And I'm getting smaller and smaller and it is crushing me and crushing me

0:14:570:15:00

-and I'm shrinking, and I can't cope!

-Ah, shut up!

0:15:000:15:02

I'm sorry, Den.

0:15:060:15:07

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to tell you like this.

0:15:080:15:11

It is just that ever since they told me,

0:15:110:15:14

I've been so scared.

0:15:140:15:16

I keep pretending that it's all right, and inside I'm like a jelly.

0:15:170:15:20

I keep waking up in the mornings, I look in the mirror, and everything's the same again.

0:15:200:15:24

And then I say, why me?

0:15:240:15:26

I'm young, I've got my health, I thought I'd live forever.

0:15:260:15:29

You don't think about death, about dying. You don't think about the pain.

0:15:290:15:32

I've never thought about pain. I've never even had a toothache, Den!

0:15:320:15:35

How am I going to stand it? How am I going to stand it?

0:15:350:15:37

-SHE SHRIEKS

-What are you telling me, eh?

0:15:370:15:39

I've got six months to live.

0:15:430:15:46

-SHE LAUGHS MENACINGLY

-What?

0:15:460:15:48

I've got six months to live!

0:15:490:15:52

Not long, is it, Den? Six little months.

0:15:530:15:55

After you saying about the practical details, I thought, "I've got to tell him, ain't I?"

0:15:550:15:59

-Cos this makes all the difference, doesn't it?

-Shut up. Shut up.

0:15:590:16:02

-Shut up.

-Doesn't it, Den?

-Shut up.

0:16:020:16:05

-You've got six months to live. Is that what you're telling me? What you got wrong with you?

-Den...

0:16:050:16:09

I don't want to die.

0:16:090:16:11

I don't want to die, Den. You've got to help me.

0:16:110:16:13

You're all I've got, Den. I don't want to die, I don't want to die, Den, please!

0:16:130:16:18

If you want help, you've got to talk sense, all right?

0:16:180:16:20

-SHE PANTS

-Oh...

0:16:200:16:22

Er, I'm going to make some coffee.

0:16:220:16:24

SHE PANTS

0:16:240:16:26

-Now, let's just...

-Den, please.

-Just...

0:16:400:16:43

just take control of yourself, sit down and stop crying.

0:16:430:16:48

Grab hold of yourself. Go on.

0:16:480:16:49

I've got till April.

0:17:020:17:03

With any luck, I might see a few daffodils and crocuses

0:17:060:17:08

popping their heads up.

0:17:080:17:11

But I'll never see Sharon...

0:17:110:17:13

I won't see her kids.

0:17:150:17:16

I won't be able to help her, Den.

0:17:200:17:21

I won't be able to help no-one.

0:17:230:17:25

I won't be nothing, will I?

0:17:250:17:26

I'll just be dust.

0:17:280:17:29

And you'll be here.

0:17:320:17:33

Living, laughing, loving with...

0:17:330:17:36

I don't believe in an afterlife, do you, Den?

0:17:390:17:42

I suppose it can help you, though, at times like this.

0:17:420:17:46

Maybe I ought to go and see a priest, eh?

0:17:460:17:49

DRINK POURS

0:17:520:17:53

Just wait there, all right? Just wait. Just hold on, all right?

0:17:530:17:57

Go on. Have a little drink of that.

0:18:000:18:02

Oh, thank you.

0:18:030:18:05

Mm.

0:18:090:18:11

Just go on, take another sip.

0:18:110:18:13

Go on, have a sip.

0:18:150:18:16

Now, very calmly,

0:18:210:18:24

very quietly...

0:18:240:18:25

..would you kindly explain to me what all this is about?

0:18:270:18:30

SHE SOBS

0:18:310:18:32

I've...

0:18:360:18:37

..I've got a...

0:18:390:18:40

Den, I can't say the words.

0:18:420:18:44

I can't. I'm sorry.

0:18:440:18:45

SHE SOBS

0:18:500:18:52

SOBBING CONTINUES

0:18:530:18:54

I've been feeling tired for months.

0:19:390:19:42

Usual aches and pains.

0:19:420:19:43

First, I just thought it was the booze,

0:19:430:19:45

so I didn't do nothing about it.

0:19:450:19:48

Then, when I got back from Florida, I started to feel bad.

0:19:480:19:52

I mean, really bad.

0:19:520:19:53

-Did you tell Sharon?

-No.

0:19:560:19:58

I just told her it was the food, put it down to jet lag.

0:19:580:20:01

Then I went to see Doctor Legg,

0:20:010:20:02

and he sent me to a specialist, Mr Elliott.

0:20:020:20:05

You know when I went off for a few days to stay with Sonny and Ree?

0:20:070:20:10

Well, I never. I went into hospital.

0:20:100:20:13

They did some tests, they gave me anaesthetic...

0:20:130:20:15

No, I don't want to know the gory details. All right?

0:20:150:20:17

-I have to explain.

-No, I can't take medical things. You know that. Just tell me what they said.

0:20:170:20:22

Mr Elliott was surprised you never came with me.

0:20:220:20:25

Perhaps you should hear it direct, eh, Den?

0:20:250:20:29

Do you want to come?

0:20:290:20:31

Where is it?

0:20:360:20:39

-It's a clinic.

-No, no. What you...

0:20:390:20:42

-Where is it?

-Well, it's...

-No, no.

0:20:420:20:44

Just tell me what the treatment is.

0:20:440:20:47

-There isn't any.

-There's got to be!

0:20:470:20:49

They've got to do something. They can't just hand you a death sentence.

0:20:490:20:52

I'll tell you what, Harley Street. We'll take you to the best guy there.

0:20:520:20:55

-Den, we've tried all of that.

-And?

-It's hopeless.

0:20:550:20:58

You know me. I'm a hopeless case, ain't I?

0:20:580:21:01

It's like a nightmare, innit?

0:21:060:21:09

I don't believe it. I just don't believe it.

0:21:090:21:11

Well, I guess this stands everything on its head, doesn't it?

0:21:140:21:17

-Not necessarily.

-Well, of course it does.

0:21:170:21:20

Why did you let me come out with all this leaving stuff, when you had that bombshell up your sleeve?

0:21:200:21:24

Cos I didn't want to think I was blackmailing you and I still don't.

0:21:240:21:27

It needn't alter your plans.

0:21:270:21:29

Well, of course it does. I can't leave now, it's obvious.

0:21:290:21:31

Why, cos of what people'll think?

0:21:310:21:33

No, cos I've got to be with you, help you through it.

0:21:330:21:35

Well, it's only six months, innit, Den?

0:21:350:21:37

Think about it. Six months.

0:21:380:21:42

You'll be a widower.

0:21:420:21:44

You'll be respectable.

0:21:440:21:46

Jan can move in, you can keep the Vic,

0:21:460:21:50

keep the bank account, keep the car,

0:21:500:21:52

keep the lovely furniture.

0:21:520:21:54

Sharon need never know.

0:21:540:21:56

Think about it, Den. It will be very convenient.

0:21:560:21:58

And if you can stick it out for six little months, Den, you'll have everything.

0:21:580:22:01

Everything you ever wanted. Lucky old Den, cracked it again.

0:22:010:22:05

Ange, I'm staying because I want to. I want to be with you. All right? End of subject.

0:22:050:22:10

Now, kindly forget that this morning's conversation ever existed.

0:22:100:22:13

DOOR SHUTS

0:22:160:22:17

DRILLING

0:22:250:22:27

What are you going to do about her?

0:22:340:22:36

-I'll have to tell her.

-What are you going to tell her?

0:22:360:22:39

I don't know. What can I tell her? Oh, I don't know.

0:22:390:22:42

I still can't believe it.

0:22:440:22:46

You look so healthy.

0:22:460:22:48

HE MUTTERS

0:22:480:22:50

Oh, I'm a selfish bastard. I ain't even asked how you feel yet.

0:22:500:22:54

How are we going to manage? How are we going to cope?

0:22:540:22:57

-ENGINE STRUGGLES OUTSIDE

-I'll sort it...

0:22:570:23:00

we'll get you the best treatment there is,

0:23:000:23:01

that place in Switzerland or the States.

0:23:010:23:03

No, no. I don't want nothing like that, Den.

0:23:030:23:06

I just want Sharon and Roly and you.

0:23:060:23:10

It's all right, you can touch me, it ain't catching.

0:23:100:23:12

I'm sorry, Ange, I'm not the best person with a thing like this, all right?

0:23:120:23:16

I'm a total wash-out. Erm...

0:23:160:23:18

and it's also eight o'clock, and there's people going to be turning up for work in a minute.

0:23:180:23:22

I don't want to see anyone, all right? So I just want to get out of here, OK?

0:23:220:23:26

Sorry.

0:23:320:23:33

CLATTERING AND PHONE DROPS

0:23:380:23:40

Come on.

0:23:490:23:51

It's not the end of the world, is it?

0:23:510:23:53

You'll never see me with grey hairs or wrinkles.

0:23:560:23:59

You'll never see me with a bunion, or middle-aged spread.

0:24:010:24:04

I still look reasonable, don't I?

0:24:070:24:09

I'll never look like Pat Wicks.

0:24:120:24:14

Oh, I'd hate that.

0:24:160:24:17

I'll be like Marilyn Monroe.

0:24:250:24:26

Always in me 30s.

0:24:290:24:31

I've always wanted to have something in common with her.

0:24:330:24:36

I may not have her bust and her blonde hair...

0:24:380:24:40

..but we're both little Peter Pans, ain't we?

0:24:430:24:45

Den?

0:24:490:24:50

If I ever find out you're kidding me, Ange...

0:24:530:24:56

I'll kill you.

0:24:560:24:58

Do you know that?

0:24:580:24:59

I'll kill you.

0:25:010:25:03

Sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

0:25:060:25:09

All I seem to do is apologise.

0:25:120:25:14

SHE SOBS

0:25:140:25:16

Oh, you've got to forgive me for all the terrible things I have said and done to you.

0:25:160:25:19

-I do.

-I didn't mean any of 'em.

0:25:190:25:24

Believe me.

0:25:240:25:25

No more than I would have left...

0:25:250:25:28

-Just another one of my crazy schemes.

-Yeah.

0:25:280:25:32

I was a fool for even thinking about it.

0:25:320:25:35

-We'd never split up, me and you.

-No.

0:25:370:25:39

-We're like...

-Punch and Judy.

0:25:420:25:44

You keep hitting me on the head, and I keep popping up with a string of sausages.

0:25:440:25:49

I...I know.

0:25:490:25:53

All the terrible things I've made you do, Ange.

0:25:530:25:56

The things I've driven you to.

0:26:000:26:04

The drink,

0:26:040:26:06

taking the pills.

0:26:060:26:08

All them other things.

0:26:100:26:11

I couldn't stop you.

0:26:120:26:14

We scarcely even talked about them, did we?

0:26:160:26:18

I knew about you and Tone...

0:26:210:26:22

HE MUTTERS

0:26:240:26:27

..in Spain,

0:26:270:26:29

Andy.

0:26:290:26:30

Den, it never meant anything.

0:26:300:26:33

Andy's dead and I'm on me way there.

0:26:330:26:34

Yeah, just forget about it, forget it, it doesn't matter any more.

0:26:340:26:38

All right?

0:26:380:26:39

Those things are in the past.

0:26:390:26:43

We're just going to concentrate on the next six months. OK?

0:26:430:26:48

I know I was bad to you.

0:26:480:26:51

Try and let me make it up to you.

0:26:510:26:53

I know I never can, but I want to try.

0:26:530:26:56

Oh, Den.

0:26:560:26:58

The next six months are going to be the best six months ever.

0:26:580:27:03

We're going to have the good times again, me and you.

0:27:030:27:06

I don't know how.

0:27:090:27:11

I'll work something out, eh?

0:27:160:27:18

Yeah.

0:27:180:27:20

-Holiday.

-Holiday.

0:27:200:27:22

That's what we'll have...

0:27:220:27:26

a second honeymoon.

0:27:260:27:28

-Oh, Den.

-Yeah.

0:27:280:27:30

In the meantime...

0:27:320:27:34

..I need to be by myself.

0:27:360:27:37

Yeah, just to...

0:27:390:27:41

-sort it all out in my head. Yeah?

-Yeah.

0:27:410:27:44

Think it through.

0:27:440:27:45

I feel like I've been...

0:27:480:27:50

hit by a sandbag.

0:27:500:27:52

Er...

0:27:530:27:55

You understand?

0:27:550:27:58

-You don't mind?

-No.

0:27:580:28:00

OK.

0:28:000:28:02

WASHING MACHINE RUMBLES

0:28:150:28:17

Come on, Roly. Take you for another walk, eh?

0:28:170:28:22

It's your lucky day.

0:28:220:28:25

I'm glad someone's lucky around here.
