HE KNOCKS

Sharon, please...

-I just want to see if Denny's OK, that's all.

-No,

no, you gave up any right to care about him....

You stay away from my son, I don't want you nowhere near him!

Right, if you're missing school again, we can do some reading. Yeah?

-I want to see Jack.

-I'm sorry, sweetheart, you can't.

-Oh, you still live here then?

-Eh?

I've hardly seen you lately.

Sorry, I've just been really busy.

Maybe we should do something later, go shopping or something.

-Just us girls.

-I don't know what I'm doing today...

You could even wear them...have a look. Do you like 'em?

-I thought they were so you.

-These are for me?

-Yeah!

-Can't a mum treat her daughter?

-I just don't think I deserve them.

Don't be silly! Everyone deserves a treat now and then, don't they?

Just don't go flashing them at Abi, I didn't get her anything, our little secret...

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Just got to say excuse me, sweetheart!

Go away. Go away.

Jack?

Have you spoke to Ronnie?

Jack, have you told her what's happened?

I've got things to be doing.

You've got to tell Mum the truth.

It ain't that straightforward, Lauren.

I can't lie to her any more.

She's going to find out soon enough. It's better if it comes from you.

-OK. I'll sort it.

-Today!

Today, Dad!

All right, today. Today! All right. I promise.

-This is on its sell-by date.

-That's why it's been reduced.

Yeah, but I don't want a great big loaf.

There's smaller half loaves over there.

And they're more expensive.

There you go then, you can get the cheaper one

and then use the money that you save to pay some rent! Yeah?!

-ID?

-Do me a favour.

-Well, no ID, no beer.

-We're 18!

Well, I'm not serving you without ID, so you might as well go.

-You don't want our money?! We're having the beers anyway!

-I don't think so.

-Yeah? What's it to you?

-Nothing, just thought you might want to smile for the CCTV.

Stuff your shop!

-I had it covered.

-Of course you did.

Thanks anyway.

No worries.

If she'd asked me to bring stuff over, I would have.

Er...Dennis' PE kit?

I bet you're loving this, ain't ya? Shoulder to cry on.

-You take advantage of her...

-And what?

-Just back off her.

-Oh, yeah,

cos you've really got the right to lay down the law after what you did, ain't ya?

-You've got nothing. You don't even know her!

-Oh, no?

No, no, cos no-one knows her like you do, do they?

Not with your messed up, secret past.

You'll never have what me and Sharon have got.

No, but she chose me, didn't she?

And you dumped her because of Ronnie.

What is it with you, Jack, eh? What did Sharon ever mean to you?

What is it? Jack the lad, yeah?

Got to have every woman in the square?

Well, you mess people's lives up, Jack, that's what you do.

You MESS people's lives up. Y'know - Ronnie...

Roxy... And now Sharon and Dennis.

That kid's crying himself to sleep every night because of you.

And you got the front to tell me to back off?!

Well, you ain't got the right, Jack. Because you've blown it!

It's over.

Good run?

This is silly. I don't want us to be like this.

What do you mean? Like what?

Why don't we go for lunch at the Vic?

I mean, like, the lot of us, you, Lauren, Whit, Tyler.

What do you say? It's my shout.

I ain't going to say no to a free lunch, am I?

Talk of the devil.

Oh, Lauren, we were just saying about maybe going to the Vic

for lunch with Whit and Tyler.

It's not going to be, like, a big session or anything.

Um, I think I'll give it a miss.

-Have you seen Dad?

-Um, he'll be at the car lot, won't he?

-Right.

-If I see him, do you need me to tell him anything?

-No, no, it's nothing...

-Right. I'll see you later. Bye.

You just not going to join us then?

Uh...yeah, be rude not to, wouldn't it?

15-2, 15-4...

-Why aren't you at work?

-Wait... No, that's 15-6.

They shut up early. Seven, eight, nine...

-And a pair...

-And a pair's...?

-And a pair's 11?

-Yep.

-It's crib.

-I know what it is.

I used to play this with my old gran.

This crib board was hers.

So that makes her my... great, great grandmother?

Grandma Ivy. She was a stickler for the rules.

-If there's a way to do things.

-We could deal you in if you like?

No, you're all right. I've got lesson plans to do for tomorrow.

Mum don't really play games, do you, Mum?

-I thought you were going to take the bins out for me?

-Yeah, I will after this.

So, two in the box?

-And cut.

-Bins!

After the game! Hang on, don't tell me....that's two for his nibs.

-You drag me over here and you just keep going over it all again!

-Look, I don't want to upset the kid.

-Bit late for that!

-Thanks for your support(!)

-What do you want?! You had my advice yesterday!

-It's up to you what you do!

-I'm trying to work a way out of it, ain't I?

-Ain't we all.

Oh, do me a favour! How many times have I been there for you?!

Kirsty's pregnant.

HE SIGHS

I think she wants to keep it.

-HE SIGHS

-Yeah. And you don't? Does Tanya know?

-I'm sorry, all right? I'm sorry things are in a bit of a mess for you, but you sort 'em out.

-Oi.

If you feel anything for Tanya, you tell her before somebody else does.

Stop that.

-That's vandalism, that is.

-Yeah! But it's funny!

All I want is an advance of a couple of quid.

You'll get your pay on payday, like everyone else.

But I wouldn't be asking, would I, if I didn't need it?!

Let's just see how today goes. Yeah?

This is TOO funny.

-Maybe you should go somewhere else.

-Shirley, serve the customers.

Yeah, Shirley! Serve the customers.

-WHAT can I get you?

-Three pieces...

Go on, go on, say it.

Want fries with that?!

-Come on, she'll listen to you.

-No, Jack! She'll talk when she's ready.

-I just need to explain..

-Jack, you backed out of marrying her.

Come on, you need to give her some time. Yeah?

She's a tough woman, she'll deal with it.

Well, she's not as tough as everyone thinks.

None of us are, are we?

You just need to give her some room, you know?

She's going to be seeing you all over the place.

And she's still in love with you,

so it's going to be hard. Just try and back off.

Let her and Denny deal with it.

Yeah, you're right. Give her some room.

-But maybe the opposite's true for you and Max.

-What?

Talking's exactly what you need to be doing.

You've got too much history, you know,

to just be throwing it all away.

CORA LAUGHS

I've taught you too well!

You've just got to have the cards to win.

Right, 5, 10, 15, 17... At 10p a peg.... There you go.

-£1.70.

-Don't be daft!

A deal's a deal. You won fair and square.

-Thanks.

-I'd take it off you, if it was the other way round.

Yeah, that I can believe.

Why don't you keep the cards and the board here?

No, you're better of taking 'em with you. They'll only get lost.

No, it's all right. I'll keep it for the return match.

Right, I'm off. Oh, and thanks for taking me money.

Why don't you come back later for dinner?

That'll be all right, won't it?

-I don't want to be any trouble.

-No, it'll be fine! Ain't it, Mum?

-Maybe Cora's got other plans.

-You got plans?

Sorted.

Might even get Mum to join us in a game.

Right, I'll see you later.

It's not your place to invite her.

What's wrong with you?! She's trying, why can't you?! It's dinner.

It's hardly like going on Jeremy Kyle, is it?!

She's fun, you know, she's a laugh, you just need to ease off.

You all right? When you got a minute, can I grab some change?

Yeah. Just get rid of these.

-Here we go.

-Thank you.

Nice to see you getting on again.

Yeah, well, life's too short.

Well?

Lauren, just calm yourself down, will you?! I'm dealing with it.

Trace, can you stick a vodka in there, please?

Kirsty, I feel like I can't just ignore how this is going to

affect everything. I've got three kids already.

Please, I just want us to talk about it.

I'm at work, Max, the last thing I want to talk about is

whether or not I'm keeping our baby.

-There you go.

-Thank you.

Denny, lunch! Phil?

Denny.

Denny, will you come and get your lunch, please?

-Which one's mine?

-He's not upstairs.

-You sure?

-Yeah.

Sharon, he won't have gone far.

Is Denny with you?

No.

He's run away?!

Yes, yeah, of course.

I'll call you straight away.

Have you finished with that?

Whoops.

Let's get that floor cleared, Shirley, please.

Use the warning signs.

-You want fries with that?

-What are you playing at?

-Are you going to let her get away with that?

-And before you say it, I quit!

-And you! You ever wondered what part of a chicken is shaped like a nugget?

-OUT!

-Sorry, boss.

-Move, get off me, move.

-What you playing at?

HE SIGHS

Thank you.

Lauren? I thought we were just going to have lunch.

Well, I wanted a few more, didn't I?

Can you put this one on my dad's tab, please?

-He hasn't got a tab.

-Well, you'd better start him one then.

SHE LAUGHS

If she gets any more wasted, I'll stop serving the lot of you.

Look, I'm sorry, I really don't know what's made her kick off.

Suppose it doesn't take much, does it, eh? Thank you.

Bit fiery, ain't she?

Yeah, well, I've been doing fiery for a lot longer, believe me.

I don't doubt it.

I thought you just popped in for some change?

I'm allowed a lunch break, ain't I?

Bianca'll be sending out a search party in a minute.

I couldn't help overhearing you and Max earlier.

-It's nothing to do with you.

-I know. But if you need anyone to talk to.

Thanks.

But I don't.

Lauren, it's not a race.

SHE LAUGHS Since when did you become my mum, eh?!

-Shall we just get another round in?

-I need to get back.

No, no! Come on, Whitney, let's show these lot how to have a good time!

Babe, I can't. I've got to get to work too.

-Thank you for the lunch, Lucy.

-Yeah, yeah. Thanks, Luce.

No, no! Come on, when did we all become such lightweights. Eh?!

Right. Well, I've got to get back to the cafe. Thanks for the drink.

Yeah, sorry about all this.

Er, excuse me, don't apologise for me, Joey!

Why you doing this, Lauren? What is actually the point?

Because... Because... Can you just stop? Can you all just...?

Come on, sit back down and we'll have some fun.

Thanks for lunch. It was really nice.

You going to be OK?

Yeah. Usually am, ain't I?

We're brain-storming, OK?

-There's no such thing as a bad idea.

-Dad!

-What?

-You can't say that. We're having a thought shower.

Bobby's...Grub Hut.

Oh, funny.

-What's this?

-We're brain-storming.

-No. We're having a "thought shower".

-For?

-Go on, read out some of the names. Go on.

-Ian's Hut.

-Mmm. Gone off that.

-Most of them are just the name Ian in front of everything.

-We've got some Beale's in there.

-Beale's Nosh.

-I like that.

-Like it for what?

-For the emporium, they've just put a sign up.

-It's up for let.

-Toilet.

-HE LAUGHS

Why does it matter if it's up for let?

I'm opening a restaurant. WE'RE opening a restaurant.

Harry, you ain't seen Dennis, have you?

Sorry, Jack, I ain't seen him. Don't know where he is.

What's it all about, mate?

Your mum's really worried about you.

Don't make me go back.

Come here, come on.

Shh.

And we're going to tie it in with the stall,

maybe even sell some of the produce there as well.

-We've already been through this!

-Lucy, this is perfect.

OK? This'll be me cooking my food in my OWN restaurant. My OWN menu.

Financed how?! After the meeting we had,

you know it's going to be almost impossible for you to get a loan!

-You know this. I don't understand why you're still playing it.

-I'm NOT playing, Lucy! OK?

-This is perfect.

-But you need to be realistic.

You're not going to get the finances. It's not going to happen.

If you want a project then,

I don't know, maybe find something a little bit less ambitious.

You've got to go home, mate. Your mum's really worried about you.

None of this... none of it's her fault.

None of it.

-Don't you love me and Mummy anymore?

-Course I love ya.

It's just complicated, mate.

Your mum really loves you, you know that, don't you?

When can we come home?

-Dennis...

-I want you to be my dad.

So this is going to be it now? Yeah?

-What?

-You know what, Lauren, I can't keep watching you do this

to yourself, you know. Enough's enough.

LAUREN SCOFFS

-I'm not finished with that!

-No? I think you are.

You can't tell me what to do!

I think you should leave.

No. No, that's what you should have done at Christmas.

What, you think he's going to stay with you because you're having his baby?

SHE LAUGHS Like that stopped him leaving us?

You think he really wants another screaming kid?

The minute things ain't going his way, HE is going to dump you. OK?

He is going to just walk out on you and your baby.

She's only upstairs. I could get her for you, if you want.

The last thing I want to do is create any bad feeling.

-Maybe you should just tell her face to face?

-No! Can't you tell her?

-Talk to her, explain.

-Do your dirty work for you?

I just feel like I might say something that I'll regret later.

-And can you give her that as well, please?

-Yeah.

Thanks.

Who was that?

It was Ava.

I take it she didn't come round to invite me to go early?

She asked me to tell you that she...

she thinks it's best if you give her some room.

I could see she wasn't very impressed when Dexter invited me.

I should have backed off. My fault.

I'll pop in tomorrow and clear the air.

No, Mum, she doesn't want you to...

She just wants you to give her a bit of space.

She did make a point of saying she hoped there'd be no bad feeling.

She gave me this.

You be good, yeah?

Will you give Sharon that? Tell her

if she wants to see me...

if she wants to talk to me, I'll be around till about four.

So you just walked out?

-After what I did he was hardly going to let me stay, was he?

-Scumbags.

-SHE LAUGHS

-It was worth it though.

But thanks to you helping me out, you've lost your job now, ain't ya?

You feel that bad about it, Denise,

-why don't you offer me a few hours in your shop?

-What?! SHE LAUGHS

You're all right, I'm only messing you about.

You'll need to tell Kim the rent's going to be even later.

-No, well, hang on...

-I'll be fine, I'll find something.

-Come on, I owe you.

-You serious?

Uh... Yeah! Why not? Tomorrow.

Mmm. Well, let's face it, after working in McKlunky's,

your dead-end shop ain't going to be that bad, is it?

-You call me on Mummy's phone, anytime you want, yeah?

-Yeah.

Because you know I love you, don't you?

-You know what you are, you're my number one girl.

-Yeah.

Give us a kiss.

-Jack, I didn't hear you come in.

-I'll see you later.

I'm going away for a bit... I'll call you, yeah.

-Where you going?

-Just away.

-To visit Ronnie?

-No.

No, this ain't about Ronnie.

Hold on a minute! Jack? Jack!

Y'all right, darling? Do you want some juice?

You know you must always talk to me... If you're worried.

You can't just run away. I know you miss Jack, darling...

-And I do too. But things are different now.

-Why?

-They just are.

From now on, it's just you and me.

We're going to be OK. Yeah?

SHE SIGHS

HE SIGHS

When did this come?

Oh, Jack left it when he brought Dennis back.

He said he'd be about 'till four, if you wanted to talk.

Jack!

Oh, for goodness sake, Lauren! What is your problem?!

You really want to know?

Yes, I do, because you can't keep doing this!

-Look at the state of you!

-Well, maybe I wouldn't get so drunk

if it wasn't for all of the lies and the mess...

All right, what's Joey done now?

I told her... She was just standing there, and I told her!

I told him as well!

Just got to tell the truth.

DOOR OPENS

Kirsty, please, I don't want another row.

Don't worry, neither do I.

Is me getting rid of this baby what you really want?

HE SIGHS

Is it?

I'll make the call tomorrow.

I'll have an abortion.

-I said, tell her. Just tell Mum.

-Tell her what?

It's a secret. Just another Branning secret.

-Right. What secret?

-Mum, you're not listening to me!

I am! It's just you're so drunk you're not making any sense!

Kirsty's pregnant.
