TOGETHER: # Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you

# Happy birthday dear Daddy

# Happy birthday to you... #

Make a wish. Hooray!

Tell me about him again.

Well, your daddy was....

the sweetest, handsomest man I ever met.

Don't forget his smile...

Oh, he had such a lovely smile.

Could light up a room. Make you want to smile too...

What else?

So much he used to do for me.

Used to get me flowers, and buy me lots of lovely little presents...

'Not for any reason, just cos he loved me.

What's the matter? I thought you were left-footed!

'And he used to shower me in kisses.'

'Used to make me feel like the most important person in the world.'

'Through thick and thin we loved each other...'

'Oh Denny, we loved each other so much.'

And when he found out about me? He was excited...

He said he'd love me to space and back.

-He was really excited.

-And then he went to the war to be a hero.

Go brush your teeth. Go on.

-You want to tell me what that's all about...?

-Not really.

-Good.

Cos I don't have time for it.

SHE SIGHS

-Hey.

-How are you?

-I'm good. Good. How are you?

-Yeah, I'm good.

Oh my gosh! I used to love this.

It's about two princesses

called Snow White and Rose Red. I always wanted to be Rose Red

cos she had the dark hair. There's this bear that's a cursed prince,

and an evil dwarf...

-It was my favourite...

-Then have it!

-No...

-No, no come on, I'm serious. If you love it that much then,

-it's all yours...

-It's silly!

No, come on. Evil dwarfs and stuff.

Take it, go on, it's yours. All right?

-He bothering you, Al?

-No.

-Thanks anyway.

-It's all right.

I can see what you're doing, you know.

Being nice to her so she'll let you get your end away eventually, eh?

She ain't that kind of girl, Anthony. All right?

Shame. Was just getting to know you.

Plenty of dolly birds. You'll forget me soon enough.

-Don't you owe me something?

-Do I?

-Yeah, You promised me a kiss if you stayed.

-Well, I'm not staying.

-Nah, you're going so you win.

-It was a one-way bet.

Worth a try though, wasn't it? You take care of yourself, yeah?

-You too.

-It's a real shame.

-Hello, Jack.

-Ladies...

Abi was crying in the night. I could hear her.

I hate seeing her like this, Mum.

She's moping. She's a teenager.

-That's what they do, mope.

-She's not moping, Mum, she's traumatised!

I knew that Jay wasn't good enough for her.

You tell her that, and she's going to run

straight back into his arms. Exactly what happened with you and Max...

It's nothing like me and Max! Oh, Janine, let's have a look!

-Let's have a look at her.

-Excuse me, d'you mind?

In my day, nobody batted an eyelid. She's tiny!

Isn't she tiny?...

-Oh, you been through the wars, ain't you, darlin'?

-She's beautiful.

She's beautiful.

Poor little mite.

Yeah. I'll be with you in ten, all right?

-Oh, sweetheart, you going out?

-I was thinking about it.

Listen. Please, I need you to stay.

Why? So I can babysit Shirley?

-No, no, it's not like that exactly.

-Alfie!

-We've run out of cheese and onion.

-Actually, it is like that...

-Kat, you brought her here, darling.

-You gave her a job!

-Yeah,

cos she's in a bad way and she needs help! I need ya,

please, darling. Please, darling. Yes, yes, yes? You got a big heart!

How about a bit later, in them ridiculously high shoes,

we go on a date? You know, a bit of nosebag, maybe a cocktail...

-All right. Me and my high heels like the sound of that.

-Good girl. Lovely.

I'm just gonna lay it out on the table, all right?

Umm. She's a lovely girl and I love spending time with her.

I love the way she gets excited about this book

and about a prince and a bear and a scary dwarf...

Sorry mate. You've lost me. What?

-He likes your sister.

-No, Alfie.

-It's more than that.

-Yeah. Yeah.

He LIKES your sister...

I really like her.

Right. Well, this is all fascinating, Anthony,

-but my drink's getting warm.

-I know you're looking out for her but

-she's a grown up. She can make her own decisions.

-Yeah. Course she can.

So, you'll back off?

Already have, mate.

Listen, Anthony, I'm not being funny here

but have you ever thought she might just not like you?

I mean, this... this is a kid's book. You do know that, don't ya?

Yeah, yeah...

You're not very good at all this, are you?

You had me at scary dwarf. Beautiful.

You won't be back, will you?

Gotta keep going, haven't you? Keep moving forward.

Or what?

Keep in touch, yeah?

And if things get bad again, Ian, please go and see a doctor.

There's no shame in asking for help, y'know.

Come here, come here.

Going to ruin me make up!

Don't go.

Don't leave me, Sharon.

Please don't leave me.

Listen carefully, OK? This is you. And this is Alice.

So who's that?

That's the vinegar!

Right. So this is what you got to do, you have to woo her. You see?

-Woo her?

-Yes.

Woo her. Girls don't want it straightforward.

Take it from a man who knows. OK?

-They want flattery, romance, ain't that right, love of my life?

-Yeah.

Hoping to get some for myself later...

-See? Few fancy words, flowers, bit of schmoozing...

-Showmanship.

-There you go.

-This is all good, boys,

but it don't matter if she's not into me.

She is into you, mate!

Seriously, if I was a girl, I'd be into you.

Yeah, deffo, man. You are pengalicious, bruv.

Really?

-Showmanship. I can do showmanship.

-There you go, there you go.

-Go do it!

-Go on, bruv! Eye of the tiger!

Good boy! Woo! Let's have it. Yeah.

-Just for the record, he's out of your league.

-Likewise. All right?

You're the only one I can talk to.

The cab's waiting.

I have to do this, Ian.

Sharon... this is your home.

Not any more.

All right. Not since Dennis...

I know you tell Denny stories - about him being a hero.

Running away won't change anything. OK?

Running away doesn't solve anything. I know. I tried.

I'm not you, Ian. I'm not a coward.

BABY CRIES

Till we had Yasmin, I never understood how one baby could need so much stuff.

-Can I join you?

-Oh, please.

-Sorry.

-Sorry.

-How is he?

-He's doing good, actually.

He's over Jordan. He's got a new girlfriend...

You know who I mean.

I keep having nightmares.

About Heather. And Jay...

Oh. Right.

I saw him at the park.

He was just sitting there. And he looked... sad.

-Has he said anything?

-We're not really talking.

No one's talking to him really.

He's at the B&B in case you were wondering...

Working on the stall's not enough for me. I got bigger plans.

Investment's where it's at. You know,

playing the markets... What?

It's just the first grown-up conversation I've had in SO long.

You know... Oh, forget it.

-No, go on?

-You're probably not dealing with the business side of things.

I am.

It's just...

I got a load of cleaning stock I need to sell off.

13k the lot.

Would sell for double but Michael wasn't that interested...

-I'll take it.

-Don't you want to check with him first?

Why would I need to do that? No, it's a deal.

-OK. I'll leave you to it...

-Thanks.

BABY CRIES

Sorry about the wait.

There's Uncle Ian!

Abi?

Why, Jay? I need to know why.

Got something for you. What d'you think? Eh?

It's the one I used to read you when Mum was at work,

-else you wouldn't sleep.

-You got this off Anthony...

He was just gonna throw it away otherwise, weren't he?

I'm not a kid any more.

-I know.

-Really? Cos sometimes I wonder.

Look, Alice, right. There are some bad blokes out there.

And there are some good ones too. Some really good ones.

Who are nice to talk to and make me feel pretty... What?

Life, Alice - it ain't a fairy tale. All right?

Anthony ain't gonna be your Prince Charming. He'll sleep with you,

then ditch you for someone else. It's the way it works.

I'm trying to tell you how it is. You'll have to toughen up.

How, when you won't let me?

BABY CRIES

KNOCK ON DOOR

Please, please, please, just give Mummy one little minute. OK?

Is this a bad time?

Why would it be?

I just...

I just wanted to apologise, you know, for me mum.

She's not the most tactful.

Well, really... I know how it is

having a new baby, and...

SHE SCREAMS

-It's all right. Sit down.

-No. I've got it.

-Just sit down for five minutes!

-I can't. I can't, can I?

Cos while Michael is comfortably at his desk at work,

I've got to feed her, then she'll just throw it all back up.

The place is a mess, I haven't had lunch,

or a shower because I can't leave her alone long enough to do it!

When do I ever get to, you know, sit down or...

or sleep?

Oh, darlin'.

I tried to put it away.

Forget about it...

but I keep seeing it. Over and over again.

Sometimes I do...

forget about it.

But it's worse, forgetting. Cos I always remember again.

I try... Oh, I dunno.

I don't know.

Did you see Ben...?

Did you see him kill her?

-Why didn't you stop him?

-I couldn't!

Why didn't you see if she was breathing or call an ambulance?

She was dead, Abi!

With George there...

D'you think he'll ever forgive us?

Will you ever forgive me?

SHE SIGHS

-So do you want to play the game?

-No.

Suit yourself. OK. We are going to...

..the city of Tickle!

Where we really going?

We're going to go to York. It's got a castle.

And a park and lots of fun things to do. You're going to love it.

Of all the places we've been, Walford was my favourite.

What's going on, Mr Lover Lover?

Check you and your garbs, bro, looking good.

But what is this dirt, man?

Oh, no, no, it's all part of the wooing.

All right.

I think can do this, Fats.

-DOORBELL RINGS

-I can do this.

'Course you can, brother. 'Course you can.

But what if I can't do this?

Bit late for that now, bruv.

-Whoa.

-Hi.

-Hi. You all right?

-How are you?

-Yeah.

-BOTH:

-Good.

OK, I'm going to...

I'm just going to be honest with you.

I like you. And I think you like me too. A bit. So...

No!

All right then. It's, er...

Oh, no! No, no, no. I didn't mean it like that.

Just this wasn't supposed to happen like this.

I've got everything planned out and I was going to...

He was going to woo ya.

-Ooh!

-Are you guys making fun of me?

Alice, no!

No. I I-I wouldn't do that to you. All right? I promise.

Come on.

Lauren used to just cry and cry and cry.

Only way I could get her to sleep was to walk her in her pram.

I mean, I used to walk for miles. Miles and miles.

Then Max used to come home from work

and she'd be there all sort of cuddly and tired in her babygro.

Yeah. Piece of cake for him.

Michael is quite good with her.

Yeah, I'm sure he is.

Worst bit for me - not being able to work.

I did a deal earlier and I felt like me again.

Yeah. Well, I mean, if you want to go back, you do that.

I mean, don't beat yourself up about it.

I tried. I just... I felt like I didn't belong there. I don't know.

Michael is good with her but he's just hardly ever here.

Yeah. Max was the same.

I think they're scared

cos it takes a while, doesn't it, to get your head round

having this new little screaming thing in the house.

When I had Abi, Max wasn't around at all.

I was convinced he was having an affair.

What am I saying? He probably was.

Oh, no, I've worried you now. No, ignore me.

Look, Michael is not like that. Believe me.

You have got nothing to worry about with that one.

I-I-I didn't know what to get you

so I-I just kinda got everything really.

There's sandwiches and crisps and strawberries.

But if you don't like strawberries I've got some cherries.

And also - this is Snow White and Rose Red.

Well, I think they're roses anyway but one's white and one's red.

That's what the guy said in the store.

I thought we could plant 'em.

Y'know, as a memento between me and you.

No, no. I'm sorry, was it stupid?

I'm so sorry. Please don't cry. I'm sorry.

This is the nicest thing anyone's ever done for me.

You're so beautiful, Alice.

-I'm not.

-No. You are.

If you're not finishing your drink, bring it with you.

Come on, we haven't got time for this.

Why can't we stay?

You can sit by the window, OK?

-Do you want to know what my wish was?

-What wish, darlin'?

Daddy's birthday wish.

Come on, we're going to miss the bus.

That you wouldn't be sad any more.

Baby, I'm not sad.

You get sad, then we move house. But you're still sad.

SHE GROWLS

Poor Janine.

Poor Janine, my eye.

Got enough money to buy an army of nannies.

Yeah, but you remember what it was like. Having your first baby.

Barely.

Sorry, Mum.

Too much angst nowadays. Get on with it.

That's what we used to have to do.

-Abi?

-She's not there. She's over at the B&B.

What?! And you knew? Mum!

Let her make her own mistakes.

I'd give my own life, you know.

I would give my own life to change what happened.

But I can't, can I?

You're going to go off and you're going to be happy

and you're going to be normal.

And I'm always going to remember.

I just want to make it stop.

Abi, how do I make it stop?

Abi?

Mum.

-Get out.

-It's all right, I was going.

-And, you, you just stay away. Out.

-Abi.

It wasn't me, all right? I was just there.

Stop it.

I wouldn't touch her, Abi. I'd never hurt her, Abi.

Stay away from my daughter!

Abi?

You SHOULD have done something. You should've stopped him.

Jay? Jay.

I've lost her for good now, ain't I?

Don't matter. You've got me. I ain't going anywhere.

-THEY SING:

-# Trailer for sale or rent

# Rooms to let, 50 cents

-# No phone, no pool, no pets... #

-My shoes want to know what's happened to dinner and cocktails?

-Give us a sec, darlin'.

-She's wasted.

Sweetheart, I'll be a second, all right? We've got the roast...

THEY CONTINUE TO SING

Shirley. Come on. Come and sleep it off.

-I'm singing.

-Now. Come on.

-Hang on a minute.

-What?

It's been one of them days.

-You should probably know that I'm... I'm still a...

-What?

-I still haven't actually, you know...

-I know. I know.

-And that doesn't bother you?

-Why would it?

That's not to say that I don't want to, you know...

Look, there's no rush. All right?

No rush? I've been waiting for this for years.

Come on.

THEY GIGGLE

Bit naughty, isn't it?

-Isn't it just?

-Hello!

Oi! Go somewhere else and be happy.

I thought I hid it so well.

Kids are clever like that. They know more than we give them credit for.

Annoying little blighters.

I dunno.

I thought if we kept moving, it wouldn't catch up with us.

Always does.

I didn't mean it, Ian. You're not a coward.

I love you to bits.

Come here, you big old softie.

Who'd have thought it? After all these years.

Sharon Watts with her dodgy perm and scrawny Ian Beale. Still friends.

-Dodgy perm?

-Yeah.

-You looked in a mirror recently, Worzel?

-Worzel?!

See you later.

Don't "darlin" me. These cost a fortune.

-I know, I bought 'em.

-You're not taking me out, are you?

Listen, what I was going to do... Kat, ow! What you doing?!

On the inside, just like Gareth Bale. He's got the moves but can he score goal? What a save!

-Denny!

-Five more minutes.

-Five minutes.

All right, he shoots, he scores! What a goal!

We did it!

Yes, we did do it, little man!

Happy birthday, baby.

DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES

-SHE CLEARS THROAT

-Who is she?

-What?

-Well, there is someone, isn't there?

Oh, I'm tired, Janine. I'm really tired.

-Well, so am I.

-Yeah? Have you bathed Scarlett?

Is she pretty?

Fine. I'll do it.

Hmm? Is she prettier than me?

Is it Sharon?

Sharon?

Oh yeah, that. Turn it over.

Turn the locket over.

Yeah. That's an investment. For her future.

What's happening to you?

-HE LAUGHS:

-Yeah!

-Hello, Jack.

-Hello.

See you in a bit, yeah?

Thought I'd let you know there's a change of plan.

Yeah, I can see that.

I think you owe me something, don't you?

-Do I?

-Yeah. I bet you a kiss if you stayed.

-I left.

Didn't get very far, did ya?

Packed bags, taxi. I definitely left.

So no kiss then?

No. No kiss.

Don't play very fair, do ya?

'Course not. I'm a woman.

It's good to have you back.

Yeah?

It's good to be back.
