0:03:02 > 0:03:03Something's not right.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Maybe he just needs to talk to someone.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07It's not like we haven't all tried. Not all of us.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Come on, skiver, holiday's over.

0:03:30 > 0:03:33What's the betting he hasn't even sorted out the breakfast yet?

0:03:49 > 0:03:50Thanks for the post.
0:04:04 > 0:04:05You've done us both jam.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07I want you to see what you can sort with some ready meals.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10We need something coming out of that kitchen ASAP.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25This ain't a B It's toast and jam or nothing.
0:04:44 > 0:04:49What's going on, Bill? Listen, Bill, just give up, bro.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Don't you know she's from Lesbos?
0:04:51 > 0:04:52Not the other night, she weren't.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54You're lying? Am I? What, you and her?
0:04:54 > 0:04:55HE LAUGHS
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Well, you know what they say, Dex... nine times out of ten,
0:05:00 > 0:05:03it's just cos they ain't met the right bloke, you know?
0:05:06 > 0:05:08You got the decorators in? Eh?
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Your time of the month, is it?
0:05:11 > 0:05:18These? These are not for me, these are for Lola.
0:05:18 > 0:05:19Yeah, course they are.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Bill, don't look so down, you're probably just PMT-ing.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Well, at least she didn't punch me, did she?
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Do you want me to finish that?
0:05:47 > 0:05:48Maybe you should come and sit down,
0:05:48 > 0:05:51because there's some stuff we need to talk about.
0:05:51 > 0:05:52About time.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Eh? I heard you. I heard everything,
0:05:56 > 0:05:58and no, I don't want to talk about it
0:05:58 > 0:06:00because I know my kids and he is not...
0:06:00 > 0:06:02He's not like that.
0:06:17 > 0:06:18Just give her time.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Tina. Tina, I was thinking
0:06:27 > 0:06:29maybe me and you could go for a drink?
0:06:29 > 0:06:31You want to buy me a drink, that's fine by me.
0:06:31 > 0:06:32See, I knew it.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35No, as a mate. We've done all this the other night.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37It was a mistake.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Don't waste your energy on me, you're a decent bloke.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41Yeah. Lonely loser, more like.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Cut it out with all the self-pity. You ain't no loser.
0:06:44 > 0:06:49Shirl's told me loads about what you've done for Lola and Lexi.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51You deserve someone, it's just not me.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54See you around.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Peter, how could you forget to pick up the carrots?
0:06:57 > 0:07:00I forgot, I'm sorry. They're our bestseller. What's going to happen?
0:07:00 > 0:07:02A punter comes, wants to buy some, we haven't got any -
0:07:02 > 0:07:03We lose customers.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Are you happy to have your granddaughter
0:07:05 > 0:07:07mix with that lot, are you?
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Peter, you need to keep on top of things. Ian...
0:07:09 > 0:07:11I got distracted, all right? I'm sorry.
0:07:11 > 0:07:12Look, it's just some carrots.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14I run successful businesses, OK?
0:07:14 > 0:07:15I keep on top of things. It matters.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18It should matter to you. Well, does it?
0:07:18 > 0:07:19Yeah, course it does.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Look, Peter knows he's messed up.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Look, I haven't got the time to check you know how to run the stall.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Look, come on, let's leave him to it. He can sort it.
0:07:27 > 0:07:28Come on, let's go. Come on.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38She's seen us. Yeah, I know. Don't make eye contact.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Dad, shouldn't you say something?
0:07:41 > 0:07:42Not yet.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57How the hell am I supposed to find stuff?
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Well, I did tell you to label the boxes, didn't I?
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Do you want to come with me, sort stuff for the pub food?
0:08:03 > 0:08:06She will come round, it's just the shock.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08And I know who to thank for that.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14So the whole thing with the jam...
0:08:14 > 0:08:16that's your way of dealing with it, is it?
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Making a point of treating the boy different?
0:08:22 > 0:08:24I should have told you straight away but it's still our Johnny,
0:08:24 > 0:08:26what is your problem? I haven't got one.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Ah! What are you doing?
0:08:44 > 0:08:46You said you were tidying up this morning.
0:08:46 > 0:08:47I will. I can't believe you.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51It's 11 o'clock and some of us have already done a day's work.
0:08:51 > 0:08:5211? Oh...
0:08:52 > 0:08:53Where are you going? I'm late.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Oh, another bout of doing nothing?
0:08:55 > 0:08:56For a job interview. Sorry.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Ignoring it isn't going to make it go away.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04No, cos it ain't working with you.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Your son is gay, he hasn't got a cold or anything.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10You do know that's a pretty permanent thing? There's no cream for it.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15No wonder he found it difficult to talk to you,
0:09:15 > 0:09:18cos when I spoke to him, he was pretty desperate.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20What do you mean, when you spoke to him?
0:09:20 > 0:09:21The boy needed support.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23I told you - when it comes to my kids,
0:09:23 > 0:09:24wind that scraggy neck of yours in.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Oh, do me a favour. You keep out of their lives.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Oh, behave yourself. Your own son was too scared
0:09:28 > 0:09:30to tell you that he was gay.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Ah, look...
0:09:34 > 0:09:35the perfect caring mother.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Right, let's get the drawbridge down and let the hordes in.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55What have you said to her?
0:09:55 > 0:09:56Nothing...
0:09:57 > 0:09:59..that hasn't been said before.
0:10:03 > 0:10:04So was it in the face?
0:10:06 > 0:10:09So could we do, say, 20 of these and the same with the curries?
0:10:09 > 0:10:10Like a proper punch?
0:10:10 > 0:10:12It was hardly a punch, I just...
0:10:12 > 0:10:13Can we do the food?
0:10:13 > 0:10:16You'll have to deal with my dad, I'm just covering for an hour.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19All right, but we could sort something? Don't see why not.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Well, I'll get my dad to speak to your dad.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23OK. Nice to meet you. You too.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29He was all over the place, he had a right go at me.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Do you want to go and find him?
0:10:31 > 0:10:33No, it's fine. He's with Sharon.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36He's got himself all worked up about the menu and about...
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Look, it doesn't matter, does it?
0:10:39 > 0:10:40Oi, stop stressing about this.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42It does matter. He is your dad, all right?
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Go and make sure he's all right
0:10:44 > 0:10:46and let me concentrate on getting us our own place.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56I'm thinking something with a bit of crunch in it.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00I was thinking beans. French beans? What do you think, Sharon? Ian, stop.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Right, beans it is, then. Turbot, celeriac, peas. Beans.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Beans, it's all good, Ian. But you've got to slow down.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09What, and do what? Let things get on top of me? I can't do that, Sharon.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11I've got to get these menus right for the bloggers, OK?
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Maybe there's nothing wrong with the menu, Ian.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Maybe there's other stuff that needs sorting.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22Setting up in your own place, it's tough, you know.
0:11:22 > 0:11:23Yeah, we know that, Pops.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26That's why we're going to go private first.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29You serious? There's no way he can afford that.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Well, I'm not going to let Lola and Lexi go without, am I?
0:11:32 > 0:11:36I'll do whatever it takes. I'll get night shifts, extra work.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39I mean, there's work out there, you've just got to find it.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43Oh, come on, Pops, I was going to tell you when we found a place.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46I wasn't going to just leave you, I wouldn't do that to you.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50I just don't see why you've got to move out.
0:11:52 > 0:11:53Because we want to be together.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Why doesn't Peter move in with us, then?
0:12:08 > 0:12:10There you go, winkle. Ta, mate. Keep that.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Thank you very much.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Don't worry, I'm not here for you. I'm not interested, all right?
0:12:16 > 0:12:17I'm avoiding Lucy. Whatever.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19I said you'd speak to her dad. I want her out.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Hold on a minute, sweetheart. What do you mean, out?
0:12:22 > 0:12:23The food was really good.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25I don't want you working here, you're sacked.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27SHIRLEY: What? Is she the boss now? I run this place.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29I decide who does and doesn't get to work here.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Can we take this upstairs, please?
0:12:31 > 0:12:32I want her out of my pub.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36Your pub? You wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for me.
0:12:36 > 0:12:37Do we have to do this... Please, Mum....
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Don't you ever tell me how to behave in my pub.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41It's our pub, it's the family's.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Yeah, exactly, our family, that's me, you and the kids -
0:12:44 > 0:12:46it don't include old Bagpuss here.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Listen to it, kicking off.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Just because she just found out that her precious little boy is gay?
0:12:55 > 0:12:58And it's no wonder, is it? With a mother like you.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08I shouldn't have shouted at Peter like that. He'll be fine.
0:13:08 > 0:13:09I'm having a go at him over Lola,
0:13:09 > 0:13:12and then I'm shouting at him over carrots. It's a difficult time...
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Yeah. Made worse by Phil.
0:13:14 > 0:13:15Oh, that's not fair.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18You can't blame him if you let stuff build up rather than deal with it.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21He's the one who's laying down the law, shouting the odds.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23He's being protective. Protective?
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Ian, come on, you know what he's like.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27If the two of you just talked, then...
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Yeah, right, like that's going to happen.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32I'm shouting at Peter, Cindy's due back,
0:13:32 > 0:13:35and me and Denise, we're all over the place... You can't pin that on Phil.
0:13:35 > 0:13:36I just want...
0:13:38 > 0:13:40I just want everything to be quiet.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43Everyone just to shut up. Just for two minutes.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45I just want some quiet, that's all.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Oh, sorry... You looking for Carl?
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Yeah, could I just... No, love, he's not here. I've moved in now.
0:13:58 > 0:13:59What? He's gone? Well, if he ain't,
0:13:59 > 0:14:01he's playing a very good game of hide and seek up there.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Where, where's he gone? I dunno.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05I heard he done a runner and I got lucky with the flat.
0:14:05 > 0:14:06And if you do see him,
0:14:06 > 0:14:09tell him he's got an unpaid electric bill, will you?
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Oi!
0:14:13 > 0:14:15You ain't got a bowl of sugar for a new neighbour?
0:14:15 > 0:14:17You've moved in here? Or some coffee?
0:14:17 > 0:14:20We could do that advert where I keep popping round.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Why would you do this? Why have you moved into the Square?
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Because of you.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26I want to be close to you. I've done this for you and the kids.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Well, I suggest get your deposit back, Terry, cos I'm not interested.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Oi, stop pushing in. Vodka, please.
0:14:37 > 0:14:38With?
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Another vodka.
0:14:41 > 0:14:42What's wrong? Bad news?
0:14:42 > 0:14:43Yeah, something like that.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49You going to stop giving me evils or what?
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Nothing like a public outing to make a bloke feel good about himself.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56You done with that?
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Mum... Yes, handsome, what can I get you?
0:15:03 > 0:15:05You know, I love this pub.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07That's lucky, innit? I really do.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10You only have to walk in here and there's a familiar face.
0:15:10 > 0:15:11Listen. Stop.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15I love the Square. It's my home.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21Seriously, if you don't stop sulking I will punch you again.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Yeah? That's on me.
0:15:26 > 0:15:27What are you doing?
0:15:27 > 0:15:28I want to see you.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34What's the matter? Mum.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36She'll get over it.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Yeah, she was just bursting to hug me.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40What, and that's what you was expecting?
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Gordon Bennett, boy,
0:15:42 > 0:15:45you want to cut those apron strings before they strangle you.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50We agreed, you don't come in the pub.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52I ain't playing stupid games any more.
0:15:52 > 0:15:53My dad sees you, he will lose his nut.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55I can handle him. Of course you can.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57We can't sneak about like this for ever. I know.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59We've just got to be a bit clever about it. I ain't going nowhere.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Shut up. I mean it. If I can't come up there, then I'm staying out here.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05What? The B over there.
0:16:05 > 0:16:06Don't be stupid.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08I've had you snatched away from me once,
0:16:08 > 0:16:11I ain't letting that happen again.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14I'm staying put and if your old man don't like it, he can stick it.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34There you go, babe. Cheers. Stick it down there.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38I was going to ask her to marry me.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42Wow. Yeah, I bought a ring and everything.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45A new one, not one of the ones I've had thrown back at me in the past.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47We've done pretty well between us.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50I think the only people we haven't married is each other. Funny, that.
0:16:50 > 0:16:51You were never my type.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Oh! You fancied me rotten when we were spotty teenagers.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56No, that wasn't me.
0:16:56 > 0:16:57Really? Yeah.
0:16:57 > 0:17:02We went out together, don't forget, all those little poems...
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Look, I was a teenager, I fancied everyone.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08So you said "Was." "Was going to ask her."
0:17:10 > 0:17:11Yeah.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15At Christmas, it was going to be a surprise.
0:17:15 > 0:17:16She was, uh...
0:17:16 > 0:17:18talking to Patrick and he told her.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Told her what?
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Told her I was going to ask, so I backed off. Why?
0:17:23 > 0:17:25If she knew I was going to ask, it wouldn't be a surprise,
0:17:25 > 0:17:27I wouldn't know if her response was genuine.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30She'd only say yes if she wanted to. I wouldn't know if she meant it.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Oh, Ian... Sharon, all right, I'm not stupid, OK?
0:17:32 > 0:17:34I know I'm not some fantastic catch,
0:17:34 > 0:17:36but...I'm a good man, I am.
0:17:36 > 0:17:37Yeah, course you are.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Well, has she said anything
0:17:40 > 0:17:43about knowing what you were going to do, hinted at it?
0:17:44 > 0:17:47I mean, to be honest, you and Denise,
0:17:47 > 0:17:49I don't think anyone saw that coming. I certainly didn't.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Yeah, I know. But it works. It works? Yeah.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55This is someone you were going to ask to marry you, not a new car.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57Well, do you love her?
0:18:00 > 0:18:02So, she knows you were going to ask her to marry you
0:18:02 > 0:18:03and she's said nothing?
0:18:05 > 0:18:09You need to confront it, not mope around feeling sorry for yourself.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Oh, thanks, you're supposed to be my mate. I am your mate.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14So why are you telling me to go round there and chase her off?
0:18:14 > 0:18:15Ian, that is not what I mean.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Why do you always have to turn things around,
0:18:17 > 0:18:19think everyone's against you?
0:18:19 > 0:18:20No wonder you got ill.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Ian...Ian, I'm sorry, babe. I didn't mean that.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Mick, I need those shifts back.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Shouting your mouth off was hardly the brightest idea.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Oh, come on, she's got a rod so far up her bum
0:18:37 > 0:18:39she could be a ride on the merry-go-round.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41It's a lot for her to deal with.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45Throwing your toys out of the pram, that's dealing with it, is it?
0:18:45 > 0:18:48I just don't need you gobbing off, it's not helping.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56There you are.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Oh, big, successful brother in the building.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01I thought I might find you here.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05Brother, brother. My big brother.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09You know, getting drunk, that's not the way.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Judge not lest ye be judged...
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Look, it doesn't matter. It was just an interview.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17It's no big deal, there'll be others. No, there won't.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19There won't. Don't be daft, of course there will.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21No. Not for a while.
0:19:23 > 0:19:24Why? Why wouldn't there be?
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Something bad's happened.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Something really...bad.
0:19:35 > 0:19:36What?
0:19:38 > 0:19:41I was offered the job, the best job I've ever been offered.
0:19:48 > 0:19:49That's great news, isn't it?
0:19:53 > 0:19:54It's in Birmingham.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Pete, give us one of them. Cheers.
0:20:01 > 0:20:02Oi. You all right?
0:20:02 > 0:20:06Guess what? Pops is going to treat us to a takeaway tonight...
0:20:06 > 0:20:07Are you sure he's all right about this,
0:20:07 > 0:20:10he's not just doing it cos he don't want to lose you?
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Yeah, maybe, but that's what families do, they help each other out.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Yeah, not all family does, though.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Well, let's tell him, yeah? Phil, come here.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24I want to tell you something. Tell me what?
0:20:26 > 0:20:29We want you to know that me and Peter are back together again.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33And here's some more news.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36We're going to be together properly, cos Pops asked Peter to move in.
0:20:36 > 0:20:37Didn't you, Pops?
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Ian, I was only trying to help. You think it's easy being me?
0:20:49 > 0:20:51I'm 44 and I'm scared of having my head shoved down the bog
0:20:51 > 0:20:53by the bloke you reckon you love. Ian, please...
0:20:53 > 0:20:56To top it all, I'm running around in circles scared
0:20:56 > 0:20:59I'm going to have another breakdown. Of course you're not. Who knows?
0:20:59 > 0:21:02What I do know is Denise might not be that mad on me,
0:21:02 > 0:21:04she might not be the love of my life,
0:21:04 > 0:21:07but she's the one stable thing that I've got in my life.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10So I'm going to cling on to it.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Phil, will you just listen to me?
0:21:18 > 0:21:19You should be putting a stop to it.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22She's family. Yeah, and Lexi's my family, ain't she?
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Oh, and you think this loser can provide for you, do you?
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Yeah, I can. He is not a loser.
0:21:27 > 0:21:28Oh, do me a favour. You know what?
0:21:28 > 0:21:31I don't even know why I'm even bothering with you
0:21:31 > 0:21:32because this is sorted, OK? Right, Pops?
0:21:32 > 0:21:35I'm not having my granddaughter brought up by a Beale.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37She's my granddaughter, she's my life
0:21:37 > 0:21:39and what was it you always tell me, Phil, eh?
0:21:39 > 0:21:42You never turn your back on your family.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45He is not...NOT moving in.
0:21:51 > 0:21:52Yeah, they look nice.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Cute on her, wouldn't it?
0:21:54 > 0:21:55Wish I could wear...
0:21:58 > 0:22:01I told you, I'm not interested. You got any towels?
0:22:01 > 0:22:02Towels? Towels, yeah.
0:22:04 > 0:22:05Do I look like I sell towels?
0:22:05 > 0:22:08So you don't do towels? Are you having a laugh?
0:22:08 > 0:22:10You've got no towels? Are you for real?
0:22:10 > 0:22:12No, I don't do towels. No. I do not sell towels.
0:22:14 > 0:22:15Fair enough.
0:22:17 > 0:22:18We've got towels.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Is that it? Is that you trying to win me round?
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Asking for towels?
0:22:22 > 0:22:23What are you playing at?
0:22:23 > 0:22:26The long game, son, the LONG game.
0:22:33 > 0:22:34Hello?
0:23:02 > 0:23:05Ah, just the lady. I was hoping I was going to catch you.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Oh, yeah, the rent. Yeah, I'm good for it.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09No, no, no. This came for you.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Not a late Christmas card, I take it?
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Divorce papers.
0:23:16 > 0:23:17Ah...
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Marriage - till death us do part.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22Or at least until the post turns up.
0:23:27 > 0:23:28TEXT MESSAGE ALERT SOUNDS
0:23:40 > 0:23:42We've had a good few punters for a Monday lunchtime.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45We'd have had more if we had some grub to serve them.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Yeah, well, I think Nancy, she's got some good ideas on that.
0:23:53 > 0:23:54I know it's a shock.
0:23:54 > 0:23:55A shock?
0:23:56 > 0:23:58It's not a shock.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01But, you know, all this... That's the whole point...
0:24:01 > 0:24:02I knew.
0:24:06 > 0:24:07This...
0:24:07 > 0:24:09it's all because of me.
0:24:09 > 0:24:10What?
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Don't be stupid. He nearly died.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21I've never known pain like that...
0:24:22 > 0:24:23..seeing his little body...
0:24:26 > 0:24:27..just still.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Just so still... I know. I know, darling, I know.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40And then he came back. Screaming.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46And that's when I knew, I knew I'd never let anything happen to him.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50I'd keep him so close, I wouldn't let anything hurt him.
0:24:50 > 0:24:51And nothing has.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54He's still our little boy.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Him being gay, it doesn't matter.
0:24:57 > 0:24:58No, you don't get it.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02I've protected him his whole life, but men...
0:25:04 > 0:25:05..they'll hurt him. Linda...
0:25:05 > 0:25:08He's sensitive, he's too accepting, you know,
0:25:08 > 0:25:10men will just take advantage of him.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Nancy, right, she comes out fighting,
0:25:14 > 0:25:17like with Wayne and the others because I taught her that, you know,
0:25:17 > 0:25:19I taught her not to take any rubbish.
0:25:20 > 0:25:21But Johnny...
0:25:25 > 0:25:27..I don't want him getting hurt.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Well, you're the only one hurting him.
0:25:39 > 0:25:40No.
0:25:43 > 0:25:44Don't do this.
0:25:47 > 0:25:48He needs us.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51No. I don't want a...
0:25:51 > 0:25:52a son like that.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56I don't have a son like that.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Denise...will you...?
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Denise...should we...?
0:26:16 > 0:26:17DOOR OPENS
0:26:19 > 0:26:21DOOR CLOSES Ian.
0:26:21 > 0:26:22Jane?
