ALL: # Happy birthday Dear Kimmy... #

-Thank you!

-# Happy birthday to you! #

Yeah, man!

-Now THAT is what I'm talking about!

-Come on, another! Another!

-Wow, steady!

-What?

No, no. Kim's got some packing to do, she needs to pace herself.

You know, Ray is right. I should keep a clear head.

It's nice, though.

Happy Birthday, babe.

KIM SQUEALS

What is it, what is it, what is it?!

Nice. Must've set you back a bit.

Well, a sophisticated dress for a sophisticated lady.

Oh, it's great!

It's perfect for the next time I've got a meeting at the bank, innit?

No, I was thinking you could maybe wear it for the party tonight.

Yeah, why not?

But you've already picked what you're wearing tonight.

-That's your favourite, innit?

-Really?

Well, maybe I've got a new favourite!

I'd rather wear yours.

Yeah. Thank you!

You're welcome.

-Listen, I'll see you in the Vic at lunch time?

-All right, then.

-Nice one. See you later.

-See ya.

-See you later.

What's with you?

Nothing!

What's with the look? I know that look.

It's the "I'm not telling you cos you ain't going to like it" look.

-Innit, Patrick?

-I'm staying out of that.

Come on, Lauren, up you get!

PHONE KEYPAD BEEPS

Hi, Max, it's me. Can you please give me a ring when you get this?

It's about Lauren.

Lauren!

Get up or I'll do it again.

-OK, all I'm saying is, moving in with a bloke...

-Yeah.

..it's a big step, it's not something you do on a whim.

And, Kim, what about this place, eh? It's your livelihood.

Oh, what, you expect me and Patrick to just step in?

Well, I'll get someone in to manage it then, innit!

Look, just admit it, you don't approve of me and Ray. End of.

No, I don't approve.

Do you know why? You do all the work

and you make all the compromises.

He's asked me to move in with him.

He's bought me a very expensive birthday present.

-What more do you want, blood?

-I just...

I...I don't want to see him hurt you again.

He won't.

Look, you either get with the idea or you can forget

about an invite to our new place.

Because me and Ray, we're for keeps!

Ooh! Here you are.

MOBILE PHONE RINGS

There you go. I don't suppose you could stay later tonight?

I've got some new clients that I need to schmooze over drinks.

Um, I dunno...

Please? I'll pay you overtime.

Thank you! That's settled.

Hey, don't know what we'd do without her, do you, Scarlett?

But you said!

We'll see Phil, but not today. OK?

-When?

-Soon.

Don't hold your breath, Denny.

Do you mind?

Why you giving him false hopes?

You know what Phil's like, he uses people then spits 'em out.

Now it's your turn.

Denny, go and get your stuff for holiday club. Yeah?

You want to have a pop at Phil, feel free,

but don't do it in front of Denny. Please.

You hold the truth back from him

and he's going to be more upset in the long run.

-This ain't Phil's fault.

-Oh, don't give me that.

One minute it's all rosy and now you're on the scrap-heap,

and he's swanning around like he don't care.

-TV:

-'Plot 99, look at that.

'It doesn't sound too appealing, plot 99.

'Do you mean it's not actually built?

'No, there's signs of it being built and completed eventually...'

Can I not even watch TV any more?

Come on, Lauren, I hate it when we're like this -

at each other's throats all the time.

Can't be much fun for you, either.

Please? All I ask is that you try and meet me halfway.

Darling, I just don't want you to ruin your future.

Oh, talking about my bright future, I need some new college books.

They're really important.

And I ain't got no money, so... would I be able to borrow some?

Do you seriously expect me to believe that, do you?

Lauren, I've seen your reading list, you've got every book on it.

Not that you read them, cos you're too busy drinking all the time.

Mum, that is so out of order!

There's no booze left in the house, by the way,

just in case you were wondering.

You can keep fighting me on this, Lauren, it don't matter,

you ain't going to win.

You see, the trouble with having a boy

is that you carry heavier at the end.

Well, so they tell me.

Cos I ain't got no comparison cos I only had my Nick.

Well, we don't know if it's a boy.

Well, I told you, didn't I? I've got a feel for these things.

-We'll be able to tell you tomorrow, Dot, if you're right.

-Tomorrow?

Yeah, we got a scan booked.

Ooh, goodness me.

Well, I'd better be off cos I only came in for change.

Mrs Ainsley, she'll be tapping her watch by the soap dispenser!

-See you later.

-Ta.

-Why do you tell her?

-Well, cos she's family, ain't she?

She would've found out sooner or later.

I know what'll cheer you up - Kim, she's having a party later.

A party where I can't drink? Great.

Got a right strop on, ain't you? What's the matter with ya?

You're not upset about me and Jack going to see Adam, are you?

No. I'm done with arguing about that.

Must be hormones.

Whoo! Special cocktail for the birthday girl,

courtesy of a well-wisher.

Come on, come on!

Mmm!

Oh, you remembered the orange liqueur that I love. Thanks, bubs!

Oi, you know I was thinking, for the party,

maybe we can get Rox or Alfie over to mix some cocktails.

-Unless you want to do it...

-Babe, that weren't me.

Kimmy, you like margarita?

I did get it right, didn't I?

-Oh, this is from you?

-Yeah, course. Standard.

Oh! Oh, right.

-And for my special lady so that she doesn't feel left out...

-Oh, wow!

-..a little something for you.

-Wow! Thank you.

Mmm! Oh, it's lovely!

Yeah? I call it The 1D, you know, after our first dance...

-To One Direction's That's What Makes You Beautiful!

-Shh!

-I feel sick! Thanks, Fats. Thanks.

-All right, babe, listen,

I'm going to shoot off.

-Want to spend some time with Morgan before the party.

-Oh, OK.

I'll pop over in a bit to say goodbye.

Don't worry about doing the cocktails. I'll ask Fats.

Don't you think that's a bit tacky?

You know, keep it simple - wine, beer, a bit of punch?

Yeah, you're right. Yeah, let's just keep it simple.

OK. Hey, hey, babe, keep it easy.

You got a big night ahead of you, remember?

You know, I probably won't finish this.

-Cool.

-All right.

We can't stay long.

We've been out all morning and Janine will be worried

if we're not back soon.

Got even more demanding, has she?

-She just likes to know where we are.

-How very caring of her.

We can't talk now, though, cos Satan's little helper's at the bar.

Meet you in the usual place, yeah? Half five.

You're finished work by then?

-Yeah, usually, but...

-Good.

Good.

Don't look so worried.

You OK, Alice? You look a bit tired.

Yeah, I'm fine.

Well, look, Kim and Ray are having a do at the B&B later.

-PHONE RINGS

-So, if you fancy letting you hair down?

-Hi, Janine.

Yeah, I know, sorry...

No, we won't be long. Yeah. Back soon.

All right. Bye.

Sorry. You were saying?

Kim and Ray's party. You can't miss it, darling, they're leaving.

Well, what time does it start?

-Cos I've got to stay late at work tonight.

-Babe,

it's a bank holiday, you shouldn't even be working.

Between them, Janine and Michael have got you run ragged.

What am I supposed to do?

Fight your corner.

It's like you're Cinderella and they're the Ugly Sisters.

Well, I'm your Fairy Godmother, right?

And I'm telling you to stand up to 'em, cos...

then you can come to the ball.

-Yeah. Maybe. All right, I'll speak to you later.

-All right.

I don't know, Tan, she's over 18, and it's not really my place.

Yeah, but I'm not asking you as a manager, am I?

I'm asking you as a friend and as a mother.

All this partying Lauren's been doing,

it's getting in the way of her studies, you know?

Anyway, she's skint, so she probably won't even come in...

Don't worry, I won't serve her alcohol.

You know, I'd...I'd appreciate it if you'd do the same in the Vic.

I'll let Alfie and Roxy know if you like?

Yeah? Thanks.

-Blimey, that must have hurt.

-Tell me about it.

You know, if...if Lauren wants to get wasted,

she's going to find a way.

Yeah. Not an easy one, though, not if I can help it.

Thank you, Gran. It's nice to have you to talk to.

-Aw.

-Mum's always busy at work,

and Dad's wrapped up in the Kirsty-baby stuff.

Oh, dear. Must be hard for the pair of you, you know,

being piggies in the middle.

I don't suppose Cora's much of a support.

Too busy thinking about herself.

-Yeah, and it's not like I can go out either.

-Why?

Do you know how much it costs to be a student these days?

At least my mates get to see each other.

I can barely afford to top up my Oyster Card.

-Would that be a hint?

-No!

I've still got some of my faculties.

Here, will that be enough?

Is that enough to buy a kebab or some such?

That's what your friends and you dine out on these days, ain't it?

Are you sure?

Yes, course I am, go on. Go on.

You know, Ethel and Pauline and me, we used to have some lovely times.

You want to make the most of your friends...while you still got 'em.

Um, Janine.

-About later...

-Yeah?

I...I can't work late. I'm sorry, I really need some time for myself

and I'm sure your client will understand if you rearrange.

You're a working mum, they can't begrudge a contract because of that.

And since when did you go all feminist?!

No, it's OK. It's fine.

Just finish at the usual time.

-Really?

-Yeah. You're important to me, Alice.

And if you're not happy neither am I...

SCARLETT GURGLES Ah, ah. ..and neither is Scarlett.

-And besides, the new client's cancelled anyway, so.

-OK.

SCARLETT GURGLES Bye-bye!

Hi.

I ain't got time for this now, Sharon.

I'm not here for me.

I'm here for Denny.

Look, he doesn't understand why he can't see you any more.

It's a bit low, Sharon, ain't it? Using Dennis as an excuse.

I'm not.

Phil, if I could change things, I would but I...

You can't. You can't, Sharon.

Is there anything else?

No.

-Oi!

-Oh! Oh, oh!

-You are so cheating!

-Am not!

-Yes, you are.

-Right, come on you two,

time for the master to show you how it's really done.

Oh, do me a favour!

He really thinks he's all that and a bag of chips, your dad.

Promise I can come and stay at your new place?

-Yeah. Whenever you like.

-Woodford ain't far,

-you'll hardly know I'm gone.

-Won't be the same, though.

Listen, wherever I'm at, me, you and Sasha -

we'll always be a family.

That'll never change. All right?

And Kim, she's family too.

Yeah, yeah, of course! Of course, Kim.

You know what? I got to go, lots to do.

Can I have a hug?

Come on. Mmm-mmm!

I'm going to miss you, Morgan. Make sure you come round soon, all right?

Later.

But I have got the money.

Yes. The thing is, I promised your mum.

What? When?!

This morning. Look, she's really worried about you, Lauren.

Yeah. It's not even for me.

Don't make this harder for yourself.

Do you know what? Fine. I'll just take my money elsewhere.

And don't even think about trying over at the Vic.

Tanya's already got that covered.

-Looks like she's pulled out all the stops.

-Yeah.

Lauren must have been a very naughty girl.

-So, when does Kim's party start, then?

-Soon.

Just got your message. "Something's come up." I don't understand.

Well, I'm going to Kim's party, so I can't do tonight.

Ah, I knew it. She's inveigled her way into your affections.

How weak of you, Alice.

-I'm not letting Janine get to me.

-No. Clearly.

Well, I won't lie, I'm disappointed.

But never mind, you go to this party. You fill your boots.

That's clearly more important than the welfare of my daughter.

KEYS TURN IN LOCK

Hello?

Oh. You not been out, no?

No. I've got to finish this.

I don't want to fall behind.

Well, I'm glad you've finally seen sense.

You out tonight, then?

Why the interest?

No, I just saw Abi with Jay and...they had Oscar.

I was wondering if they were babysitting for a reason or...?

Oh, no. No, I'm just looking forward to a nice long soak in the bath.

So...you carry on with your essay. I'll try and keep out of your way.

Oh! What's all this?

Yeah, well, I thought about what you said earlier,

about the cocktails and that. Why not?

Besides, I can't have Fats upstaging me.

-Thank you.

-I made this one especially for you.

-DOOR BELL Thanking you.

-I'll get that.

You look beautiful, by the way.

SHE GIGGLES Stop!

Dee, I'm not in the mood...

No, I come in peace!

And I've been thinking about what I said earlier.

And do you know what? I was wrong. Sorry.

Truth is, the only people who know what's good about a relationship

are the people who are in it.

Um, Dee, what do you think about this dress?

Be honest.

Yeah, well, it's not your usual style, is it? But it's...it's...

it's nice. Very grown up.

Am I the first one here?

Let's get this party started then, eh?

You all right, Denise?

Babe, um, what's in this?

Creme de menthe. You're into that, ain't you?

Yeah, yeah, love it.

Phil! It's still working!

Is it?

Sorry.

-Come on, darling, Phil's busy.

-Nah, it's all right.

So how's my favourite lad, eh?

I miss you. So does Mum.

Yeah, and...I miss you too.

Just cos you're not living at mine,

-don't mean you can't pop round now and again.

-Promise?

Yeah, I promise.

Phil, what about what you said?

Dennis shouldn't have to suffer in all this, should he?

Maybe we can...sort something out later in the week.

Yeah.

Denny...

Yeah, she drives me mad, but I'm going to miss her.

Hey, you've still got me, you know.

I just can't imagine you going all suburban, Kim.

Pay attention to the second part of the word.

I intend to be more "urban", and less "sub".

Kim, I reckon you'll fit right in, hanging out with all the WAGS.

Listen, there's more to Essex than overpaid footballers.

Nice houses, good restaurants. Just the place to better yourself,

-Right, babe?

-Hark at him!

-Nothing wrong with being ambitious.

That where you see yourself, Kim, rattling around a big mansion?

Dunno, hadn't thought that far ahead.

You'll be having babies next.

It's the next step, ain't it? Look at Max and Kirsty.

Well, I'm ready for anything. Bring it on.

To pastures new, good luck to the pair of you.

Cheers, Max, mate. Nice one.

Listen, when we're settled, you guys come over for dinner.

Oh, yeah. No more going down the pub for a pint.

It's going to be all dinner parties from now on. Isn't it, Kim?

Yes, Shirl. It's called classy living.

Guess I'll have to forget your invite.

Oi.

How many you had?

Oh, give me a break!

It's a party. Let her enjoy herself!

You all right?

No offence, but Kirsty looks well miserable.

Top up, anyone?

All right?

You finding it difficult not drinking?

Feel a bit dizzy, that's all.

Don't you think you should just slow down a bit?

We're not in your shop any more, Denise, OK?

And this is Kim's party. She ain't bothered, so why are you?

-PHONE RINGS

-Lauren, can you get that?

Have you got the phone?

Hello? Oh, hello, Denise.

She's what?!

-You OK now?

-Yeah, stop fussing.

I care about you, don't I?

Both of you.

Nah, come on, let's go home.

No, I told you, I'm fine.

Babe, I don't want to take any chances, do I? Come on.

LAUREN SQUEALS Yeah!

Young people! People that aren't like a million years old.

Or just act like they are. Come dance with me.

We should say hello to Kim and Ray first.

Um, they don't even care. Come on, come dance.

Specially for you...

Courtesy of Ian. He's very sorry he couldn't be here but he's busy with his restaurant.

He made this for me?

Yeah. Well, I can be very persuasive, you know.

Oh, please...

-Oh!

-Perfect!

-Hope you're happy now, are you?

-I'm really sorry, Kim.

It does actually taste good.

Get your mitts off my cake!

I'm so sorry, I'll pay for any damage.

This your idea of doing an essay, is it?

-Why do you always turn up and ruin everything?!

-Get out!

The girl drinks up our drink, wrecks my cake and no birthday present.

Kids of today, Denise!

Um, Kim, we're not all like that.

Um, from me and Fats.

Oh, thanks, Poppy! Thanks, Fats!

Happy Birthday, babe.

KIM SQUEALS

Me and Fats have got them in blue.

-You haven't, have you, Fats?

-No! Babe, stop joking.

Oh, shut up. You love your onesie!

Babes, it was supposed to be our little secret. OK?

Best present ever.

Ray, look! Look!

Are you joking? Come on, no offence, guys,

but no-one past the age of three should be seen in one of them.

I hope you got the receipt.

LAUREN WRETCHES

All right?

Finished?

Right. Get yourself upstairs. Go on.

I'll bring you a coffee.

MOBILE PHONE RINGS

Oh, finally found the time to ring me, have you?

Sorry about that. I would have got back to you sooner,

it's just been one of those days.

My heart bleeds for you.

I've got Kirsty...got the scan...

Scan?

I think Kirsty's a bit more stressed than she's letting on.

What did you want to talk me about? About Lauren, weren't it?

'She been up to her old tricks?'

No, she...we had a row this morning, it's blown over now.

-It's fine.

-'You sure?'

-'She was looking pretty lively when I left Kim's earlier.'

-Really?

Yeah, she's fine.

She's in the front room watching telly, good as gold so...

You just concentrate on Kirsty and the baby,

everything's fine here. OK?

All right, I'll see you later.

Bye.

Oh, look who it is!

Can you take her, please, while I just go get myself a drink?

Here we go.

-Can you just take her? I've got to go.

-Alice!

Alice, hang on...

Well, what do you reckon?

Oi, oi!

You never said it was fancy dress.

Then why do you come dressed like that then, Janice?

-Such a shame you're going away.

-I know.

Come on, babe, I can see us in these, you know - DVD,

-brandy, roaring fire...

-Yeah, Kim,

I'd stay away from the fire if I was you.

That looks highly flammable.

Listen, the cab's outside. It's time we said our goodbyes.

Bill, going to miss you, kid.

You think she realises she's only moving to Woodford

and not the moon?

Pops...

Hey, Denise is not the only one who's been like a daughter to me.

Not getting soft on me now, Pops, are you?

Thanks, Pops.

Come here.

It's not like I'm not going to visit though, is it?

Not going to be the same though, is it? Anyway, go to Ray. Go on.

-Be happy.

-You got everything?

Almost. Almost...my bag, my bag, yeah.

Look after her.

-What was our first dance?

-Huh?

Our first dance. What song did we dance to?

I don't know, that was a long time ago, babe,

and to be honest that's not the type of thing I keep up in here, yeah?

Babe, let's talk about this in the taxi, the meter's running.

It's not going to work.

Me and you, it's not going to work.

What are you going on about? What you doing?

Look, I like chillin' in a onesie.

Yeah? I like blingy dresses. I hate creme de menthe.

-And I don't want to do dinner parties.

-Whoa, whoa! Slow down.

No-one's expecting you to be the perfect hostess overnight.

-Oh, well, that's big of you.

-No, no, that's not what I meant, babe.

Look, I like chillin' out too, just not in a onesie.

I don't get it.

That's just it. You don't get me, Ray. You never did.

Fats and Poppy know me better than you do.

What does that say about us?

So I get a few things wrong,

that doesn't mean I care about you any less.

Look, it's not just that. I don't remember our first dance. Know why?

Because I'm never in the moment with you, Ray.

I'm always stressing about how I look,

or what I'm going to say or where we're headed.

We should just be. But you and me...

..it's effort.

I don't see this as an effort.

Exactly! Cos we're not equals.

You keep setting this standard, and I'm just not matching up.

-I never said that.

-You didn't have to.

Kim, this is stupid. Are you coming or not?

No.

I think you're making a big mistake.

And I tried talking you out of this. You remember that.

Tell Sasha I'm sorry, yeah?

You all right, babe?

Yeah.

I am! Kimberley Fox can do so much better than that.

I'm really proud of you.

That's a first.

Come on, you lot, get back inside. Party's just getting started!

Just give me a minute, yeah?
