10/09/2012 EastEnders

Don't you move, Kat. I promised you breakfast in bed, didn't I?

So you better be in it when I come in. I mean it!

I've got a kipper here, I'm not afraid to use it.

Oh, another toy. Just what she needs.

Great.

You know, when I gave this to her she had a happy look on her face...

almost grateful in her own little way.

Can you blame me for my reaction?

You've hardly got the best track record

when it comes to trust, have you?

Can we just stop this? I'm so tired. All this dis-trust.

It's just... Can we put it behind us, please?

Can we just start again? Today. Start afresh?

You need to snap out of this.

Cos otherwise, what is the point?

Alice? Alice! Angel, wait up a minute.

Listen - seeing that you've got a half day today I thought

we could go and do something special, just the two of us.

No thanks.

Oh, come on, Alice, don't keep this up. Anthony was an idiot.

He wasn't right for you.

Look, you tell me this, right. If you'd have got together,

how would he provide for you?

Buy you a meal every time he done a house clearance?

I've seen guys like him all my life.

He'd have gone out one night, gambling, to the dogs,

and he would've lost you your home.

I'm sorry, I'd have been failing in my duties as a father.

So, you admit you got rid of him?

No. No. I never said that.

You're putting words into my mouth. It was his own shame.

That's what drove Anthony away.

It had nothing to do with you bullying him?

It's all you know, isn't it, intimidation, stealing?

See? You've no idea of the damage you do.

Listen,

I know I make mistakes.

It-It's this thing I do...

a defence mechanism. You know? To keep people out.

But then you... You broke through all that.

Please. Give me one more chance.

We'll meet in the Vic later, eh? We'll talk?

I just want you to stop interfering in my life.

I will.

I give you my word.

Have you seen Tommy's teddy? Keeps him occupied when I'm feeding him.

I haven't sweetheart. I'll have a butchers later.

'Ere, why don't I write on the poster, "We are now bedbug free?"

Have a picture of a bug with a big smiley face like that?

I don't think people need reminding. I know I don't.

Yeah. No, you're right.

I was thinking I might show Fatboy the ropes today? Come in handy behind the bar, extra pair of hands?

Don't go building his hopes up. We haven't got any spare shifts at the minute.

No, don't worry. Won't make a promise I can't keep.

MOBILE VIBRATES

Someone keeps trying to sell me loft insulation,

-They won't take no for an answer.

-I'll talk to them if you want? If you go to phone settings

-you can bar all them calls.

-Yeah, I might do that.

-The sooner you do it, the sooner they'll get the message.

-Yeah.

You'll be all right on your own today, won't ya?

I just got a few things to do.

Yeah, course I will,

I'll have Fats all trained up by the time you get back.

What?

Nothing.

Are you going to phone him or what?

Yeah, you're right. I better get on. Right. See you later, sweetheart.

-Love you.

-See you later.

Are you sitting here like Jay-no-mates?

Be about right, wouldn't it? I'm losing everyone lately.

-Shirley, Ben, Abs....

-Shirl's coming back, ain't she?

You got me and Lexi, in't ya?

Wasn't what you said the other week, was it?

Yeah, I'm sorry about that.

I just...freaked out a little bit. That's all.

Look we got big plans today. We're going to go to the park,

go on the swings and a little ice-cream.

You can't get more exciting than that, can you?

You up for it?

Yeah. Sounds great.

Good.

Here he is! Oi, oi!

THEY LAUGH

Look at him.

Bet that's full of antiques. You want to get that geezer off the telly down - get it all priced up.

Marvellous, ain't it? I slog my guts out for a living and you, you win this in a card game.

What can I say. Lady Luck was smiling down on me.

What you talking about, she was smothering you. If you fall in the Thames, you'd come up with a salmon.

Listen, I don't want this broadcast, all right? Not till the dust settles.

You know what they're like around here. But that's not to say

I'm not going to share my good fortune with my nearest and dearest.

Eh? Drinks are on me tonight. What d'you say?

I'll have to think about that. See ya later.

What's the matter with him? Bit morose, ain't he? Can't be getting his vitamins.

He ain't getting something.

Bird trouble, ain't it? Usually is with him.

Right. Better get back.

-Abi's first day at sixth form this morning.

-Ah, bless.

I told her, you'll be all right.

Put in the hard work, you reap the rewards.

Exactly.

-All right, Del. See ya later.

-Cheers mate.

-All right?

-Where's Michael?

Had to pop out.

Oh. When he comes back, will you give him this? It's urgent.

It's unopened. You might just want to point that out.

-Right.

-Yeah.

Me and my little bundle of joy are going to go and get pampered...

make ourselves beautiful for Daddy.

Nice one.

...Fifty makes two.

You enjoy those bananas and you make sure you tell all your friends, yeah?

You know what? I really admire you, Ian. I do.

Out here in all kinds of weather, facing up to the big supermarkets.

Good, honest work. What made this country great.

Now you're passing that work ethic onto your kids?

Young Lucy, carving her way in the world? Commendable.

Very commendable, Ian.

I know about you taking the money.

Go on.

How would you like it if that was your daughter?

I wouldn't.

You know, I respect that. I really do.

You speaking your mind like that.

You're right,

I did a very bad thing. I got no excuses.

That's why I think I should make it up to you.

Hiya. Janine said to give you this.

Said it's urgent and to tell you that she hadn't opened it.

A miracle in itself, Bill.

PHONE RINGS

Hello. I was beginning to think you're having second thoughts.

Yeah.

Wait till you see this really cute

and ridiculously expensive outfit I've bought for our little princess.

I was thinking, maybe we could have lunch, in about half an hour?

Nah...

I can't. Won't be back in time.

I'm up in London Bridge, looking at a property.

You're at London Bridge? Are you there right now?

Yeah. Tell you what, why don't you and Scarlett have the day together...

spend a bit of quality time. We'll do something another time.

We'll do something another time.

Probably got a little surprise planned or something.

Now, let's put that in there as well. Here you go.

No, no, no. You put your money away, love. This is on me.

And take some of these,

you got to keep up your five a day, haven't you, eh?

Nice to see ya. All the best, look after yourself.

Well, well, well. I think that should cover it.

Well, Ian, you've had an extremely profitable day.

And a very short one. That calls for a drink.

I swear to you, I don't know where he is.

He just said he was going out.

London Bridge? It was a lie.

He was on the phone to some woman. I think.

-Then he just left.

-What woman?

-How should I know? He don't tell me nothing.

-How do you know it was a woman?

Sounded like he was talking to a woman.

-You know, the way he was speaking to her.

-Flirting?

Yeah. I mean, no. No, no, no.

Just didn't sound like a bloke talking to another bloke.

So, he was on the phone, flirting with a woman, and then he left...

No, I never said he was flirting.

I need an address, Billy, otherwise it is goodbye.

I've sacked you once before, do not think that I won't do it again.

-What? Come on, Janine, I need this job.

-Then you'd better start thinking!

I swear to you, I don't know where he is!

BABY CRIES

Janine, listen, listen.

He might have said something about George Street.

Janine! Janine!

CRYING CONTINUES

Janine.

Janine? Ain't you forgotten something?

Oh. I am so sorry.

I am so, so sorry. I'm fine.

I'm fine.

I'm fine.

Oi, Kat!

You better not be shopping without your wing woman?

Come on, let's see.

Oh, I got the same in white for the bride on her wedding night.

So, I'm trying this on and Ray comes in and says, "You should be getting married."

And I say to him, "I had to see you one last time!"

I get it. Now I know why I've hardly seen you since you two got together.

Well, I've hardly seen you! Like a hermit.

You sure you should be out in the daylight?

I've just had a few things on. But I'm back now, ain't I?

Back to normal, have some fun.

That's my girl. All right then. What about tonight then?

Unless you and Alfie's got some games planned? y'know, milkmaid and the barrow boy?

-No. See you at eight in the R&R? Yeah?

-Yeah. Listen, don't be late.

-Cos we got some serious catching up to do. Yeah?

-Yeah.

-All right then.

-See you later.

-Yeah, see you later.

-There we go.

-Nice one, Fats.

Might want to scrape a bit of that froth off otherwise we'll have to stick a Flake in it.

Will that be all, Mr B?

And a drop of Gold Watch please, Alfred. Make that two.

Oh, no, I try not to have spirits at lunchtime, it kind of knocks me sideways.

-Large ones.

-Third left from the gin, Fats.

It's not like you've got a stall to worry about today, is it?

What with it being empty and all.

See the posters have worked then?

Hello sweetheart. Yeah, better than last week, ain't they?

Business as usual. Yours truly behind the bar,

with my gorgeous wife and, of course, my apprentice barman.

How's he doing?

He's a natural, ain't he. Cos he's learnt from the best, of course.

What's that old saying, "Like a duck to water?"

This is like Fatboy to the bar!

You're looking very radiant this weather, Kat. Almost glowing.

You must be doing something right, Alfie.

He could teach you a thing or two.

-Kim's asked me to go to the R&R tonight. Is that all right?

-Yeah, course it is, sweetheart,

you go and enjoy yourself.

I'll just have these, then I'll be off. Yeah.

No, you won't. I wouldn't hear of it.

Hard working guy like you

needs a bit of fun every now and then, don't he?

-Cheers.

-Cheers.

What is your daddy doing, eh?

I thought he'd changed for us,

but he is just going to go on lying,

cheating, and treating me like a complete idiot.

DOOR CLOSES

The front door was...open.

You'd make a good dad, you know.

Shut up.

You would. Most boys get all weird round babies.

They can sense it. She definitely likes you.

She tell you that, did she?

-Lexi, say da-da.

-Leave it out, will ya.

-Da-da.

-Get off.

-DOORBELL RINGS

-If that's Billy going to give me another earache...

He's at work. He's got a key, anyway.

Hi, Lola.

Oh, hi. I weren't expecting social services.

It's just a drop by visit. Is this a convenient time?

Umm...yeah sure, come in.

Cup of tea?

-There you go.

-Thanks.

Do you think he loves me? Even just a little bit?

Yeah. Yeah. Course he does.

He married you, didn't he?

Then why does he keep doing this?

I don't know.

Why don't you just ask him straight?

Because he's the best liar I know. I've given him everything, Billy.

You've only been married three months, and you look miserable.

If you're not happy, Janine...

..you're the only that can do something about it.

There we go, sweetheart, all right. If you need me, just call.

Look, I've really got to go.

No, what you talking about? It's your day off.

Relax. Have another one.

Trace, Trace, same again here please, my darling.

You said that was the last one.

-Alfie?

-Yes, darling?

I found this in the bin with the food waste.

Oh stick it in a glass. Belongs to a punter, don't it?

Kat.

Why is it, when you can't have something,

you can't think of anything else?

Been a whole week since I had a pint in my local.

Maybe it's not the pint you're missing, Jack.

Maybe it's the company?

You all right?

Hello, darling, how are you? Hello, Lauren.

Just having a drink with my old mate, Ian, here. You all right?

Yeah.

Hello, ladies.

We got your text. So, you're really the new barman?

Absolutely. Gimme a few days, and I'll be mixing those cocktails, Tom Cruise style, you know.

Well, if you want to experiment, we'll be your guinea pigs.

Kat, what's this?

Key to some bloke's heart?

So, your Lucy and my Joey, eh?

Do you know what,

I would never have put those two together in a million years.

Tell you, there really is no accounting for my Lucy's taste.

I couldn't agree more.

I just hope my Joey realises what a money grabbing,

little chip off the old block your daughter really is,

before she whisks him up the aisle and skims him for every penny he's got.

-I think I'd better go.

-I think you better had.

You've had enough out of me today

-you parasite!

-Oi.

Well. He's just been bad mouthing your brother, darling.

Honest, he has!...

Jack?

Better be off. But I'll see you tonight at the R&R?

Er, yeah. Yeah. Cool.

Cool. It's a date.

Fats was going to make us cocktails.

Well, I don't think you'll be winning any

-prizes for father of the year.

-No.

Here, that drink you were talking about,

let's make it down the R&R tonight, eh.

Bored with this place.

Any prizes for guessing why?

Does Lexi still have the nappy rash?

Yeah. I mean, I do put the bum cream on.

You should see a doctor soon as you can.

You might need a stronger cream.

-Hello!

-Hi, Mr Mitchell.

Nice surprise.

So, what have I missed?

Hey, foxy mama! Bit of a dark horse, ain't ya? Come here.

It was meant to be a surprise.

I like it, it's beautiful.

I've got an idea. Why don't you and Kim go out another night?

I'll get Jean to look after Tommy, light a few scented candles,

maybe get a nice little bottle of plonk, eh?

D'you reckon we'll have nights of passion like this when we're in our 70s?

I can't even see beyond next week and you're talking about wrinkly love?

Hey! Don't be silly. Nah, you're going to be one of them, like, glamorous grandmothers,

you know, what's that one -

oh, Sophia Loren and the other one....Helen Mirren.

Yeah. With slap two inches thick to fill in the wrinkles.

Nah. You'll be the belle of the tea rooms.

"I love you Alfie". Imagine years to come.

We used to talk about it all the time, didn't we?

Wandering down Southend Pier.

Flasks of tea, sandwiches in a Tupperware container.

BABY CRIES JEAN: Kat? Alfie?

S'all right, I'll get him. Loving this, you know.

-Might even get myself a leather thong.

-Alfie!

I'm coming, hold on, hold on.

Bye, Mr Mitchell.

Bye. Yeah. Thanks for coming.

-See you again sometime. Yeah.

-Jay...

You think this is funny, do ya?

I warned you to stay away, Jay.

-I'm not going to tell you again.

-Will you just lay off him, Pops.

Lola, he's facing serious criminal charges.

If they know you're knocking about with him,

they'll take Lexi off of you. Come on, Jay, play the game, all right?

Stop thinking about yourself.

He's right.

You can't afford to be around me. No-one can.

Maybe it's best we don't see each other anymore.

You ain't getting rid of me that easy.

I mean it, Lola. Just stay away.

I'm bad news.

-MUSIC BLARES

-Can't believe you roped me into this.

That's why we're here, ain't it, so he can keep tabs on Alice?

Lauren keeps giving me dirty looks. Must think I'm doing the same.

Here, you want to watch that Fats.

Wouldn't trust him with my girl.

I just thought it'd make a change from The Vic.

Drink up and I'll get us another bottle.

I'd rather have a nice, quiet pint.

-This music is doing me head in.

-No wonder they call you two the Chuckle Brothers.

Tall bloke at the bar is checking you out.

Yeah? Then lets give him something to remember.

Come on!

What can I get you?

Oh, service with a smile would be nice.

Another bottle of bubbly.

Joey, Sharon about?

Night off. Want me to give her a message?

No, you're all right, mate.

Well you certainly haven't wasted anytime have ya?

Anthony's only been gone five minutes and you're steaming in already.

Nah, Mr B, It's nothing like that. Alice?

-Dad, leave him alone?!

-You've been staring at him since you come in. What's your problem?

Think she's easy meat, do you, cos she's on the rebound?

-I swear, it's nothing like that.

-You keep your hands to yourself, you.

Never change, will you?

I was watching Fats earlier, chatting all them girls up.

Silvertongue, giving it the swagger, giving it large...

Michael, remember when we used to be like that?

Yeah. Then reality kicks in, don't it?

You realise that all that laughing, all that joking,

all that Dunkirk spirit,

it's all just a witty prologue to an extremely long and boring book.

Just a theory.

-All right, Michael.

-All right?

How's Janine?

Fine, I suppose. Haven't seen her all day, Billy. Why?

No reason.

Missing your quiet night in?

Nah. She'd already made arrangements to go out anyway, darling.

Ah, she got a better offer has she? Playing second fiddle now?

Michael, stop with the second fiddle stuff, all right?

She'd already made arrangements to go out.

She'll be back before closing then she can give me

all the thanks she needs.

Lucky you, yeah?

Cheers, see you later.

It's me. I'm here.

yeah. I'm waiting.

Perfect timing. dinner is ready, and I cooked your favourite.

Lamb.

Where's Scarlett?

Shh, you'll wake her.

What's... what's going on?

It's exactly what you wanted, Michael.

It's day one of a brand new start.

Trust me, things will be very different from now on.

Just going to change.

Billy. Hi.

Yeah, look, I just wanted to say thank you for your advice.

It's very sweet of you to be concerned.

But you don't have to worry, OK?

Cos I can look after myself.
