# Stop in the name of love Before you break my heart

# Stop. #

Shirl, she's not answering. I'll have to go round there.

You do know how sorry I am, don't you?

For losing my rag. Really didn't mean to frighten you.

Yeah, course.

And thanks for choosing to spend tonight with me.

Stepping through the door, now, my love. We're here.

-Miss you, Kat!

-How's Charlie?

Jean wants to know how's Charlie?

Kat, Kat, darling, whoa, whoa, calm down, don't worry about it.

You stay there as long as need be, all right, sweetheart?

OK, darling, I'll give you a ring tonight. Love you too. Bye.

Ah. # Da-da do ba-ba doo. #

Any Valentines?

Oh, yeah, there's loads of those.

One from Miss Leccy, another one from Miss Gas Board.

Oh, another one from the delectable Miss Council Tax.

Beautiful.

You all right, Alfie?

Course I'm all right, darling.

Nothing a lottery win wouldn't sort out, you know. Ha-ha.

Your feet are so cute, you know that.

What? There's nothing cute about my feet.

Everything's cute about you, babe.

What's got into you today?

It's Valentine's Day, ain't it?

Ain't a brother allowed to be a little bit mushy on Valentine's Day?

Which reminds me. 6 o'clock, and you know what that means.

-No! No more presents, enough.

-Come on, man.

You know the rules, all right. One present on the hour, every hour.

It's Valentine's night, I thought you'd be out on the pull?

Plenty of time for that, mate.

Going over the Vic in a bit, meet Michael.

Bit of brotherly bonding, show there's no hard feelings.

-You fancy it?

-Nah, got a better offer.

You're under the thumb, bruv.

-I'd actually like to be under anything of Amira's.

-DOORBELL RINGS

Because she is gorgeous.

Hadn't really noticed.

I was going come pick you up.

Am I late or something or is it just...?

You know, you look amazing.

Ah, thanks babe. Is that new?

Yep.

Don't have to wear it if you don't...

Um. Let's see what else you got. I hope your room's tidy.

As if you ain't noticed, eh?

Copper wire?

-You didn't know anything about this, did you?

-No. No, no.

I'm sorry, he just put us on the spot.

And Derek Branning ain't really a fan of taking no for an answer.

Listen. It's not your fault, Ray.

But I got to say, you and Paddy,

you've done a brilliant job of taking care of this little lady.

And I appreciate it.

Look, I'm just going to get cleaned up and then I'll be off.

Hold on a second. There's no need for that.

We've been looking for a proper chef for ages

-and the gig is yours if you want it, all right?

-Really?

-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

-Top man.

-Look, man, I've got loads of ideas, yeah.

-Nice one.

-I won't let you down, I promise.

-Cheers, Raymondo.

-Nice one.

Come on, you were well up for it yesterday.

Yes, well the reality of spending a Valentine's night single

-and sober suddenly kicked in.

-PHONE RINGS

Wait.

All right, Whit?

Yeah, well, Lucy's trying to persuade me now,

but I'm not really sure I'm up for it.

Please, Lauren.

Please, it'll be such a laugh. Please, we'll dance all night, yeah?

-And forget about Valentine's Day all together if you want.

-'Ah.'

All right, fine, I will come.

The things I do for you, Whitney Dean.

So, how many kittens did Fats get you?

What? None.

All right, all right.

See you later. Bye.

Ah, I love them two.

They won't last, though.

What? Why not?

Well, nothing against Whit, she's great,

but I just don't reckon she's right for Fats.

Well, he does. Got her tickets to Paris, he's surprising her tonight.

My hair look all right at the back?

-Yeah, looks good to me.

-Oh.

-Happy Valentine's.

-Thank you.

So, what about my hair?

It's full-bodied, as ever.

Where are you two off to, again?

-Argee Bhajee.

-Ah, the romance(!)

Well, you know, that's what happens when you try and book somewhere two hours before.

Right, well. I better go and get ready then.

-Right, I'll pop my lipstick on and then we'll go, yeah?

-Yeah.

-That was terrible news about Charlie though and his stroke. Cor.

-Yeah.

-You send Kat my best, won't you?

-Yeah, course I will, Derek.

Course I will.

Lovely. So, is there a reason for this visit

or is it just a social call?

I'm getting used to that about Walford, everyone knows everyone.

Yeah, I know. See the thing is Derek, right.

What I wanted to talk to you about, see, down in the...

-About the copper wire ain't it?

-Yeah.

There's probably a reasonable excuse why it's there,

but if it wasn't I'd appreciate it.

-Only because it's...

-Say no more, Alfie. Say no more.

-I'll get it shifted.

-Lovely. Thanks, mate.

Oh, before you go.

Take that.

What's this for?

Storage rates. I wouldn't take you for a mug, Alfie.

Oh, Derek that's very generous of you. Cheers, buddy.

Actually, sit down.

-I've got a bit of business I might put your way.

-Oh, yeah?

Something new. You used to run a bar in Spain, didn't you?

Yeah, yeah.

Well, how about this? We buy booze over here

and say we're selling it on to your contacts in Spain, right?

Only, only, we knock it out in the Queen Victoria.

That way, we avoid feathering Her Majesty's nest.

-Oh, what, a tax scam, you mean?

-Yeah.

You get on to your mates over there. Pedro or Juan or whoever,

-make sure he gets his lines right.

-Yeah.

Telling you mate, it could be failsafe.

Talking more readies then, d'you reckon?

Make that look like chicken feed.

What can I say, sounds like a nice proposition, Derek.

-Listen. Why don't you have a think about it.

-All right.

-We'll about it talk later.

-Yeah, yeah.

-Salud.

-Salud.

Still got it, Hev. Still got it.

What's the matter?

Um. I'm so sorry, Shirl, I really am.

It's just that...Andrew,

he's planned this big night for us

and I feel awful about letting him down.

But then I feel terrible about leaving you in the lurch,

especially when Phil wouldn't see you yesterday.

And I've been worrying about it all day

-and I don't know what to do and I just...

-Well, just go.

You sure?

I ain't going to top myself over a night out.

You look beautiful. Andrew's a very lucky man.

So, she's forgiven you for making a scene, then?

She agreed it was a bad night to spend with a friend.

Andrew, be careful love, eh?

-Don't worry, Ma, we're fine.

-What's he done now?

What? Oh, nothing.

Just a bit nervous about giving Heather the ring.

Would you do it? Get engaged again.

-Like a shot. Why, wouldn't you?

-Don't see the point, really.

Wouldn't mind a bit of male company, few laughs, few drinks.

But get your life all mixed up with them again, all that palaver.

No, thank you.

Oh, how's Jim? Did he get you a Valentine's?

Oh, yes, he leapt straight out of bed, bright as a button,

you know, skipped down to the shop,

picked me out a lovely Valentine's card.

Sorry. No, he weren't up to visitors.

And, anyway, I got more to do with my time

than worry about commercial stuff like Valentine's Day.

You're not a total cynic, are you? It was your wedding day.

Ten years ago today. Why? What of it?

Grandad. Your Valentine's saviour has arrived.

Rox, you're an angel, sweetheart. Oh, Paddy, good job, mate.

Have the rest of the night off. Thanks for holding the reins.

Thank you, brother. You're a good man, you know that.

-Shenice is upstairs with Amy.

-Perfect.

I've got nanny cam on, make sure they're not starting any riots.

Result. First drink is on the house, then.

Really? How's that?

Well, because your feeling warm-hearted towards the kind soul

that helped put your daughter back upstairs.

Jean, listen, sweetheart. You could be a real life saver

if you don't mind having a look over at the books,

just to make sure we can pay some of the bills on time.

I'd really appreciate it. Yeah? Thank you, sweetheart.

-You let the old fruit loop do your books?

-Oi, oi, not nice.

-Besides, she's a whizz on the old calculator.

-Hello, mate.

-Is this a Moon reconciliation?

-If you want to call it that.

Come on, girls. Spill the beans. What happened?

Well, couple of weeks back, full moon, it was,

we stayed up all night holding hands till sunrise, we sang Kumbaya.

Staring at the stars. Beautiful, it was.

Talking of beautiful, shouldn't you be out with Janine tonight?

Celebrating. Valentine's, in a restaurant and all that.

Please, Janine and Valentine's Day? Nah.

-Out of order, innit? I told 'em 7 o'clock.

-Hmm.

So, what we going to do now, then?

'Bout fish and chips?

-What? And stay in?

-We don't have to.

Yeah, all right. Yeah, no, great.

-You go back if you want. I'll pick 'em up.

-OK.

Oi oi.

-All right?

-All right?

Yeah. Heard you'd been giving Jack a bit of good advice.

He's in a bit of a state, I just told him, you know, be sensible.

Oh, right, watch your kid being brought up by a Mitchell.

Very sensible, Max(!)

Lauren? All right, girls?

Look at you two, you look lovely. Going inside?

Am I mad?

Hold that a minute.

You take this, and you two buy yourself a cocktail, eh?

-On me. Go on, have some fun.

-Thanks,

but I sort of promised my dad that I'd lay off the booze for a bit.

He thinks I've taken it a bit far recently.

What?

Nothing, it's just,

if you'd have seen your dad at your age, well, you'd find it funny too.

Go on, go inside, have some fun. You look gorgeous.

Thank you.

Look at all this get up, I told you I didn't want to come.

I'm going to have one tomato juice and then I'm going home.

Ah, Dorothy, be still my beating heart a vision of loveliness.

Don't be so daft, Alfie.

-Stop flirting you two, she'll have a sherry.

-Right.

-Tomato juice.

Sherry. And I'll have a white wine. Rose?

Shouldn't we see if a gentleman would like to do the honours first?

Tight as a gnat's backside, you.

In that case, I'll have a Gin and It. Double.

Single.

Here we go. One for you, one for you.

-Cheers.

-Cheers.

-To us.

To us. Rox, how does Shirl seem to you?

Err. Like Shirley, why?

No reason.

So, I've asked for a table by the window.

S'posed to have blinding views of the river.

-Unicorn'll pick us up at eight.

-Lovely.

Yeah, would be if you stopped sulking about your stupid mate.

-I don't know why I bother sometimes.

-I'm going to the loo.

I thought it was saw you. You remind me of my Jim when we was courting.

So? How's it looking?

That bad, huh?

We can pay these bills.

Just.

But we could do without the extra staffing costs.

Good evening, ladies. How are you? Can I get you a drink?

-Just got one, darling.

-Next one's on me.

I didn't see him get here.

It's like he arrived with a girl surgically attached.

So, what's new?

Yo, yo, yo. Big love out to my R&R massive, all right.

I hope you've got a special lady in your life or a special guy.

If not, you better find one but this one is going out to my girl Whit.

The most beautiful girl in the room. Baby, this one's for you.

-Is that alcohol?

-No, it's magical fairy juice.

-Lauren, are you all right?

-Hm. Yes, I am now.

How tacky can you get?

Oh, yeah, yeah. Totally.

D'you want a drink?

Oi, oi. Seen Tyler?

I just wanted tonight to be special.

Do you think Heather'll love you anymore

-just cause it's Valentine's Day?

-No, you're right.

Course not.

Every day is special when you've got someone in your life.

You remember that, Andrew.

Hev.

What was Mrs Branning saying?

I want you to go out with Shirley.

-But...

-No, no. I was wrong to lose my temper,

you was only being the kind, thoughtful woman I love.

And besides, we've got a whole lifetime to spend together.

Thank you.

I'll pick up George from the babysitter.

Just one thing. Be back by midnight, yeah?

-Why?

-Just do it, please.

Course.

I love you.

-Mind if I join you, Paddy?

-Please.

Could do with some grown up company. Rose thinks she's in a time warp.

She thinks it's 1963.

Eh, what can I get you?

Get me a G&T with a twist of lemon and I'll be right back.

Height of romance, this, innit?

You're the one with ketchup on your chin.

-Have I? Where?

-Come here.

Here, you can finish those, I'm stuffed.

-You hot?

-I am a bit, yeah. Take that cardy off.

Actually, I'll turn the heating down.

-Can you just relax, take it off.

-I'll just turn the heating down.

Waste of money having it on full blast.

You made the right choice, Hev. I feel a vintage night coming on.

-Woo Woo?

-Woo, hoo.

You think you'll make it to the dance floor later?

-Dancing ain't really my thing.

-Adorable, ain't they?

-Who?

-Fatboy and Whit. Wonder when they'll do it?

-Do what?

-Get hitched.

-They're engaged?

-Well, not yet, but I have my sources.

You mean...he's going to propose?

Watch this space. Laters.

Every time I look around, you are with a different girl.

I'm single, ain't hurting anyone.

I know, but I don't think Whitney'd be too impressed.

-She's with Fatboy.

-Every time she looks up, she's looking at you.

Fatboy? Can I have any Hazell Dean?

Hazell...? Nah, sorry, Hev, we don't do requests, babe.

And his collection doesn't go as far back as the Stone Age.

All I'm saying is, if a guy was going to surprise me

-that is how I'd like him to do it.

-Really? Nah, nah, nah.

You see, Whitney don't like to be centre of attention, man.

I was going to do it later, when we was alone, after the set.

Trust me.

Lucky I bought that drink myself. Spend all night waiting for you.

Didn't feel like it, sorry.

He's in a delightful mood.

I'm with you on this one, Patrick.

Valentine's Day, load of old nonsense, that's what I think.

Pat drank G&Ts. With a twist of lemon.

Yeah. It can feel callous, can't it?

Everyone carrying on as if nothing had happened.

But we all miss her.

How's Jim?

Good evening, gentlemen. Looking for love this evening, are you?

Not sure my missus would be too thrilled about that.

-We believe there are stolen cables on the premises.

-That right?

Got a warrant. Mind if we take a look?

No, course. No, not at all. If you'd like to come round.

-Come on, come on.

-I practically own this place.

OK, all right, one track. And one track only.

-Yeah!

-No.

-Woo!

I need to speak to you.

-What?

-Look, I know I've got no right, but I don't want you to do it.

-Do what?

-You're too young, you'll end up regretting it.

-You're drunk.

OK, guys and girls, sorry to break up the tunes. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

-I like you, OK?

-You're unbelievable.

-I mean it.

As it's Valentine's Day, I got an announcement.

-So, you like me, what does that mean?

-You know exactly what it means.

As you've probably already guessed, I've got a special lady in my life.

-You're going round kissing every girl. What? You kissing away the pain?

-Yeah.

And I was just wanted to ask her something.

-Woo!

-OK, look, you're right. You're so right.

Whitney Dean, can you please step up?

But there is a reason I can't stick with any one girl. It's you.

Ah. Um. Whit?

All right, it's you.

-Awkward.

-LAUGHTER

-She must be in the toilet.

-Whit, please, don't.

It's too late. It's too late.

Whitney, babe, don't stand me up now.

Oh, OK, here she is, here she is, make a round of applause

-for my beautiful lady, Whitney.

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Now, I told you I had a surprise for you, right?

-Yeah.

-How do you feel about a trip to Paris?

-Awww.

Huh, huh? Yeah? Good times. Let's get this party rocking.

OK, all looks fine. Sorry to have wasted your time.

No, no, not at all. Cheers, fellas, thank you.

Ah! Ah! Ah-ha-ha-ha.

Out, you two, out.

-You can't throw me out, my old man's the guvnor.

-What you doing?

Oi, guys, guys, guys. You two, you're just so cute.

-Ow, ow.

-No, you are.

D'you know what, I think we should get you home.

What? No, no, no, I can't go home.

You can't tell my dad about this, please, promise, Whitney.

-Listen, Lauren, baby, we won't.

-Oh, it's Amira.

-What's your problem?

-What d'you mean?

Fancy me, don't you?

Sweetheart, I was just messing with you. STDs aren't really my thing.

Derek, listen, I can't do it, mate. I'm really sorry.

-What?

-No, listen, I need to think about my family, all right.

Now, Kat's nerves are already shot looking after her old man

and she'll never forgive me if I get myself banged up again.

Who said anything about jail?

No, no, it's just too risky, that's all.

Alfie, Alfie, Alfie.

You're all shook up, that's understandable.

Old bill sniffing around the place.

-But did they find anything? Did they?

-No.

No. That's right. And do you know why?

Because I am a professional, always one step ahead.

And I never, ever shaft my mates.

It's family, ain't it, eh?

That's what's holding you back? You see, I find that ironic.

Cos if that was me, I'd jump at the chance to earn a bit of extra dough,

for my kiddies, for my missus.

For my security. Own this place, do you?

No, no, I don't.

No. Well, it's your choice, mate.

All right, hold on, Derek, OK.

All right, I'm in. I'm in, all right. OK, I'm in.

EXPLOSION ON TV

How much did I miss?

Er, three fights, a love scene and a car chase. Nothing much.

I think I need to go to bed.

I'll turn it off, babe, it's not that good anyway.

No, you're all right, stay and watch the end.

Night, night.

I love you, Tanya.

And you.

'Ere, what's the time, Shirl?

It's early.

It's just that, Andrew's at mine and he's waiting up for me,

I promised I'd be back by 12.

Ah, look at your eyes, practically got hearts in them.

It's all good, is it?

Yeah. All good.

Sorry about Phil.

Least I didn't marry him.

Maybe you're better off without him, Shirl. I mean, maybe Ben was right.

I don't want to talk about it.

So, here we are, back to square one.

Drunk, washed-up, old cow

with no family, nowhere to call home.

But there is one plus.

This kebab, hitting the spot.

You're not alone, Shirl.

There you go.

Oh, no, no. No, I shouldn't. You know, special occasions only.

To Jim and Pat.

To Jim and Pat.

To love.

To love.

Marcio, listen mate,

we are talking more money than you've ever dreamed of, all right?

His name's Derek Branning, he's, like, my business partner,

so he's going to iron out the details.

Listen, I'll give you a ring tomorrow. Hasta luego.

Take care, bye.

Did I just hear you say that Derek Branning is your business partner?

MUSIC: "Careless Whisper" by George Michael

MUSIC: "The Power Of Love" by Frankie Goes To Hollywood

-And Derek did this, did he? When?

-Oh, yeah, two weeks ago.

Do you understand, Alfie, do you understand?

-He is dangerous.

-Michael, why didn't you say anything?

I asked you earlier. Why didn't you say nothing?

I didn't know you were going to get into bed with him, did I?

It only started looking weird when the old bill arrived, funny looks.

Yeah, well, he's all right with me.

Don't be so naive, Alfie! The geezer can turn on a sixpence.

You don't get ten years inside for shop lifting.

You don't know what he's capable of.

-Think you're all that, don't ya?

-Excuse me?

Bossing my brother around like he's your servant.

-Well, he ain't, all right?

-I don't think you should be speaking to me like that.

He's not even your type, is he?

No, you like a bad boy, don't you?

-How dare you.

-Someone like me.

-In your dreams, Tyler.

-Only a matter of time.

See, Anthony and girls like you, they don't mix.

I'm not sure he'd agree.

Oi. Come here.

What is wrong with you, eh? What is wrong with you?
