0:00:27 > 0:00:29Why show me this?
0:00:29 > 0:00:33Why show me this, if I am beyond all hope?
0:00:33 > 0:00:36- Salvation.- Eh?
0:00:36 > 0:00:40It's, "Why show me this, if I am beyond salvation?"
0:00:42 > 0:00:44"All hope" might be better, actually.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48Yeah. That's great, actually. Change it. Change it to "All hope".
0:00:48 > 0:00:49OK.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51Ooh! Ah!
0:00:51 > 0:00:54- You all right?- Yeah, just a kick.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01I'm really glad you asked me to be birth partner.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04- I'm glad you said yes.- Yeah.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07- It's a special thing, you know. - OK, let's...
0:01:07 > 0:01:11We'll get back to the lines, yeah?
0:01:14 > 0:01:18Why show me this, if I am beyond all hope?
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Even if they are, I haven't changed.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29I have never said I wanted us to end.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32What a soppy git.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Come and dine with us tomorrow, Uncle,
0:01:35 > 0:01:38because the missus has cooked up a terrific feast.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Get hold of that!
0:01:44 > 0:01:48Wh-wh-whither do you...
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Whither?
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Whither - that's what it says. Just say it anyway.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Whither do you beckon me?
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Hang on, boy.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04With all due respect, I haven't beckoned yet, have I?
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Whither do you beckon me?
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Right, next bit.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Here you are, Don.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22No Roxy again this morning?
0:02:22 > 0:02:24You should have seen the state of her over the weekend.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28- She had yesterday to sleep it off. - Yeah, I'm talking about yesterday.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- You're up bright and early. - Just going to see Denise.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Got some script changes to settle.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37I was going to say how nice it was to see Derek again,
0:02:37 > 0:02:38but I'm not so sure now.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40When does he expect us to learn these lines?
0:02:40 > 0:02:42I didn't think a play would bring so much stress.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Yeah, you and me both.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54PHONE VIBRATES
0:03:03 > 0:03:06I don't believe you, Roxy.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Oi, are you awake?
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Do I look awake?
0:03:16 > 0:03:18SHE CLANKS BOTTLE AND GLASS
0:03:21 > 0:03:23I'll bin it before Phil sees.
0:03:25 > 0:03:30- I was, er, hoping for some advice, actually.- Mmm-mm?
0:03:31 > 0:03:36So, you know, the first time you had...you know, with a boy...
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Are you serious?
0:03:38 > 0:03:42I just wanted to know what happened afterwards.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Did the boy still talk to you?
0:03:44 > 0:03:48- Did he boast about it to his mates? - It's too early for this.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02Arthur's having a nice lie-in.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Oh, do you want me to make you some scrambled eggs?
0:04:05 > 0:04:08- Nope, you're all right.- Well, it won't take me a couple of minutes.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Hang on.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13I know that you didn't see Shaki over the weekend.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16He was busy and so was I.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20- Well, will you see him today?- If you ever let me get to school, yes.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Excuse me, it's him you've got the hump with, not us.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25We were going to put the Christmas decorations up today.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27- You'd like that, right?- Brill.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30OK, so come home straight from school
0:04:30 > 0:04:32and we can get the rooms decorated.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36DOOR SLAMS
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Morning. Where's Sharon?
0:04:39 > 0:04:43She's upstairs, getting ready to take Dennis to school.
0:04:43 > 0:04:44She's going Christmas shopping.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- Do you want to go over these lines before rehearsals later?- Yeah.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49You still doing that play thing then, yeah?
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Yeah, it's a right laugh, ain't it?
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Oh, here she is, the Ghost of Christmas Past, look.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Come on, mate, let's get yourself together, come on.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00I'm sorry about before. Still half asleep.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01Don't worry about it.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- Mornin'.- Mornin'. What did you want to talk to me about then?
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Oh, nothing, nothing.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Come on, let's get out of here.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Sorry, I forgot my phone.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19I thought we had an understanding.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24- Did we?- Dennis and Louise have seen enough bad behaviour
0:05:24 > 0:05:27without going through it all again with you.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Are you comparing my situation to yours?
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Yeah. Yeah, I am.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Stop looking for the answers at the bottom of a bottle,
0:05:34 > 0:05:36because it ain't there.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38If anyone knows that, it's me.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40So, buck up your ideas or ship out.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44You wouldn't kick me out.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47If it was the best thing for the kids, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- There you are.- Oh, thanks.
0:06:56 > 0:06:57What's that? Jujitsu?
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- Who's doing Jujitsu? - Your mum. She's looking at classes.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02- Why?- I have to do something.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04What you need to do is take your mind off what happened
0:07:04 > 0:07:05and not let it stew.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Well, I'm working on the Christmas show.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09- I'm helping Derek out with the costumes and that.- Oh, yeah.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Kathy called. She's going to come round later
0:07:11 > 0:07:14and help you get stuff ready for rehearsals.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15Well, I'm on holiday now.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Why don't I give Derek a call and see if I can get involved?
0:07:17 > 0:07:21- That'd be great, sausage. - Team Carter. Unbeatable.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Linda, it's your first wedding anniversary coming up soon,
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- ain't it?- Yeah. Yeah, New Year's Day.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28- What's that one? Is it paper, ain't it?- Yeah.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31What are you supposed to get someone for a paper anniversary?
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Well, look at that. "Gifts for every occasion."
0:07:33 > 0:07:36They take a photo from your wedding day, and they mock up a front page
0:07:36 > 0:07:39so it looks like a newspaper and you frame it.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Ah, nice one, Whit.
0:07:44 > 0:07:45Morning, Dot!
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Hello.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52Any chance of getting this washed for later?
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Just for you, I'll shove it in with someone else's.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56HE LAUGHS
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Dot, when are you...
0:08:00 > 0:08:04- When are you getting your decorations up?- Soon.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06How's Denise?
0:08:08 > 0:08:12Between you and me, she asked me to be birth partner.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Oh, dear. Yeah.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17It's not like in the olden days.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21Still, I suppose I can vouch for you being helpful in a crisis.
0:08:22 > 0:08:27Then I hope you didn't think I was sticking my nose in last week.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30I made an appointment at the hospital with that Miss Goldberg,
0:08:30 > 0:08:33you know, to have the injections.
0:08:33 > 0:08:34Dot, that's great.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38- When are you going in then? - This afternoon.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40I can do that, all right?
0:08:40 > 0:08:44Yes, well, actually, I've already asked Jack if he'd take me
0:08:44 > 0:08:47and he's happy to take me there and back.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Well, I didn't want to impose on you again.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53It's all right, Dot. It's OK.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57Well, your shirt, that'll be ready about one o'clock.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Yeah, thanks, thanks.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- Thank you. - It'll look great, trust me.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Ah, afternoon.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12- I'm not that late. - Just in time to pack up.
0:09:12 > 0:09:13Shut up. Right, what can I do?
0:09:13 > 0:09:16There's a box of tops there you can put out
0:09:16 > 0:09:19and when you're finished doing that, you can sort your head out.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22I know, OK, I know. I'm sorry.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26- I'm only having a go because I'm worried about you, Rox.- I know.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Seriously, if there's anything I can do...
0:09:29 > 0:09:31I had Phil having a go at me this morning.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33You know, it really made me think.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35If I've got Phil telling me I'm out of order,
0:09:35 > 0:09:37then maybe it's time to get my act together.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40- All right, Donna?- You all right?
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- How you doing?- Never better.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47I need a hand with some wedding stuff later. You up for it?
0:09:47 > 0:09:48- Great.- OK.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51I need to pop into town for some place settings at around three.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54I just wondered if you could pick up Amy and Ricky for me
0:09:54 > 0:09:57just so I don't have to break my neck getting back?
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Well, you better ask the boss, cos I'm already in her bad books.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- Course she can.- Great.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06- OK. 3.30, school.- Yeah.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10You were looking for a chance to start sorting your act out.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18Assistant Director? Yeah, yeah. Reckon I can handle that.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22OK, I'll chase Denise now.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25All right, cheers, Derek. I'll see you later. Bye.
0:10:48 > 0:10:49Dot...
0:10:51 > 0:10:55Yes, well, your shirt's ready. It's hanging on the door.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Oh, thanks.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03- What's that?- What?
0:11:03 > 0:11:06The letter?
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Nothing.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Why are you so coy about it then?
0:11:12 > 0:11:16- Dot? - Well, it's my notice, ain't it?
0:11:16 > 0:11:20Mr Oppa-poppa, he is closing the launderette on Christmas Eve.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Merry Christmas.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Oh, Dot, I'm so sorry, I...
0:11:26 > 0:11:30I didn't quite believe it but there it is in black and white.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36Well, you know, retirement is not such a bad thing, you know.
0:11:36 > 0:11:37I've retired once before.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39- Yes and you came back? - It weren't for me.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42I couldn't do nothing all day.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44This place used to be the centre of activity.
0:11:44 > 0:11:49There was people in and out all the time and chatter, chatter, chatter.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55I suppose it's outlived its usefulness, huh?
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Like most things, I suppose.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01What are my regular customers going to do?
0:12:01 > 0:12:05Well, they accept it and move on,
0:12:05 > 0:12:08most of the time with hardly a backward glance.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11It's just that the older you get, the clearer you see things
0:12:11 > 0:12:15and the harder it is not to look back.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18I ain't living in the past. Neither should you.
0:12:18 > 0:12:23- You've got the new baby to look forward to.- Yeah.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25- When are you expecting Jack here? - Soon.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27OK, I'll pop in later, just to make sure you're OK, all right?
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- Yeah, ta.- Thanks.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Do you know what's completely gone out of fashion?
0:12:36 > 0:12:38- The mullet?- Shoulder pads?
0:12:38 > 0:12:42Christmas parties. Who can afford them these days?
0:12:42 > 0:12:45But, I fancy doing one for the market traders this year.
0:12:45 > 0:12:46What do you reckon?
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Yeah, well, they used to have a contest back in the day about
0:12:48 > 0:12:51how many pubs they could get round before falling over.
0:12:51 > 0:12:52Oh, no, this won't be a pub crawl.
0:12:52 > 0:12:57This will be a well-organised, well-behaved night out with food.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Give us a sec. Oi, Louise!
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Hey. Look, I'm sorry about earlier.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Three coffees and I'm feeling half human again.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Now, what did you want advice about earlier?
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- Oh, it don't matter, Roxy. - No, no, wait!
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Did you say something about a first time?
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Are you talking about what I think you're talking about?
0:13:14 > 0:13:16- You don't have to be embarrassed. - I'm not.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19If you want advice on blokes, I've been there, I've done it.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22I've got the T-shirt. I've got a whole wardrobe full.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27It's not me who needs advice.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31It's me.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Should we get a cup of tea? Come on.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Shaks is being such a mug.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48I WhatsApped him like five times and he hasn't replied.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Was it the first time for him as well?
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- You can't tell anyone about this. - Of course I won't.
0:13:55 > 0:13:56Shakil blanked her at school too.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Do you think he's got what he wanted and now he's dumped me?
0:13:59 > 0:14:02- I didn't have him down as a user. - Blokes are useless at talking.
0:14:02 > 0:14:03He hasn't even tried.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Look, first of all, you need to get him away from his mates, OK?
0:14:06 > 0:14:08- Then what?- Then you need to let him know he's out of order.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Say to him, "You don't get to just walk away."
0:14:10 > 0:14:12You need to know where you stand.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Are you still together or not, right? Be straight with him.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17PHONE RINGS
0:14:17 > 0:14:19- Oh, no.- What?
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Ron, I'm sorry!
0:14:24 > 0:14:27No, wait, listen, I'm on my way to the school...
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Ron!
0:14:31 > 0:14:33I thought Jack'd still be here.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36He had to go and pick Amy and Ricky from school
0:14:36 > 0:14:39but he brought Matthew to the hospital.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Nothing like a baby for brightening things up.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Thank you for bringing the cake.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48How did it go?
0:14:48 > 0:14:52Oh, it's not too bad. Needle was a bit sharp.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55It's as if I've got a bit of grit in my eye.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58You'd better make the most of a quiet afternoon.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02You won't get a bit of peace when that baby's born.
0:15:02 > 0:15:03Ta.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Yeah, I suppose so.
0:15:07 > 0:15:12What's the matter? You was excited about it earlier on.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Well, I am excited.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18You'll be the first to see the baby.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21You'll be the first to hold it, the first to look into its eyes.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24When it's older, no matter how naughty it is,
0:15:24 > 0:15:27you'll be able to say, "I was there when you was born, you be quiet."
0:15:27 > 0:15:31That's a lifelong bond, that. Can't be broken.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35You know what, Dot? You should mark finishing work.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37How?
0:15:37 > 0:15:41Organise a Christmas Eve party at the launderette?
0:15:41 > 0:15:45I mean, this is the end of a Walford institution, you know.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Well, I don't want a fuss.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51I'm surrounded by stubborn women.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55- Well, suppose nobody came? - Plenty will come, man, trust me.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01You know, neither of us have the power to change what's coming,
0:16:01 > 0:16:02but at least we can...
0:16:03 > 0:16:07We can face things in our own way.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Ron. Ron, I'm so sorry.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18- You said you were picking them up! - Where are they now?
0:16:18 > 0:16:19The school called Jack. He got them.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23He's taken them to pick up dinner with Matthew.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25How could you forget?
0:16:27 > 0:16:29I don't know.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Do you know what, it seems like every time you need to step up
0:16:31 > 0:16:34and take responsibility for Amy it all ends up going pear-shaped.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Why is that?
0:16:41 > 0:16:44I really don't know what to say.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Nothing to say, is there?
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Just tell Amy I'm sorry again.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57You coming round later to help with the wedding?
0:16:59 > 0:17:01I think I'll give it a miss today if that's OK.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11I've left Bex three messages now and we're doing all of this for her.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- And me and Arthur. - Yes, and you and Arthur.

0:17:22 > 0:17:24- Rehearsals?- I'll see you there.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27We thought that the decorations might cheer you up.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31- I'm going to go and see Shakil. - You've spoken to him, then?
0:17:31 > 0:17:33I'm going to go over and see him now, face-to-face.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Looks nice. See you later.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Bex is being weird.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44She's being a teenager. It's the same thing.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47OK, everybody here?
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Right, come on then, let's get in there quick as possible.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Awful lot to do. We'll have costumes there, props over there
0:17:52 > 0:17:56and the actors can sort it out when they get here.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Right, here's the posters, hot off the press.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Well, straight out the photocopying machine, but there you go.
0:18:01 > 0:18:02- They're great.- Yeah, well done.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04The guy in the shop did Lauren a deal.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07- Yeah, Steven reckoned he fancied me. - Blokes, eh? Total nightmares.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Oi, oi, oi!
0:18:10 > 0:18:14- Could we set up the stage, please? - Yeah. Abs?
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Did Louie enjoy the pantomime on Saturday?
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Cried through most of it.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Right, my Assistant Director has circulated the script changes.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25Yeah, I-I-I've only had two words changed.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Yeah, the revisions are small, but they are crucial.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31Denise, I shall need you to follow on the book
0:18:31 > 0:18:35- so any mistakes, flag them up for us.- Sure.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38- And, Patrick, centre stage, please. - Sure.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- Mick, if you could enter upstage left.- What's that? What?
0:18:41 > 0:18:45Come in through the door upstage left and say your first line
0:18:45 > 0:18:49What door? Where's the door? There ain't no door up there.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51It'll be there on the night.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54What are you laughing at? It's down to you I'm in this mess.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57- You wait till I get you home. - Ooh, promises, promises!
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Just to let you know I've found the perfect anniversary pressie for Mum.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02- Oh, yeah?- Yeah.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04They put your wedding photo on the front page of a newspaper,
0:19:04 > 0:19:06- frame it up and make it look boss. - Oh, that's pucker, that is.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09That's pucker, well done, boy, well done, well done.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13Can we start to focus, please? We've only got an hour to do this.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Right, and, Mick, if you would enter, please.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19KNOCK ON DOOR
0:19:23 > 0:19:26I'm not here to have a go.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29- Can I come in? - Mum's going to be back in a minute.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37- Do you want a drink or something? - Yeah.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Do you want ordinary or diet?
0:19:48 > 0:19:51- Er, ordinary. - You usually drink diet.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53I want ordinary.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Oh!
0:19:59 > 0:20:02- You shook 'em up? - No. This one's fine.
0:20:02 > 0:20:03How did you know I'd take this bottle?
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Well, you know I hate diet and seeing as you're so vexed,
0:20:06 > 0:20:10you were always going to choose ordinary, so no, no, no, no!
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Right...
0:20:12 > 0:20:14I'm getting a towel.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22It's all over you.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27I'm sorry.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Hello? I'm not stopping.
0:20:34 > 0:20:35Oh, hey, Bex.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39I've been asking around all day about having a Christmas do
0:20:39 > 0:20:43for the market and most people seemed to like the idea.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47So I need to go and book a big table at Beales.
0:20:47 > 0:20:48Set a proper date.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50I've got rehearsals later,
0:20:50 > 0:20:54so you'll have to sort yourself out for dinner.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57You're skin and bone. You need to eat. All right, see you later.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02DOOR SLAMS
0:21:06 > 0:21:08So?
0:21:08 > 0:21:10What?
0:21:10 > 0:21:13You were saying?
0:21:18 > 0:21:21You do NOT just get to walk away from this.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23I need to know where I stand.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35We are...still together, aren't we?
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Shaks.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50OK.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56When you're ready to talk, then come find me.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Thanks.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16- It's the least I could do. What a day, eh?- Half a day for some.
0:22:18 > 0:22:23- I've been thinking... - Thought I could smell burning.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25I really haven't been much of a friend recently
0:22:25 > 0:22:28- and I certainly haven't been employee of the month...- True.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33..and I'm kind of sick of letting everyone down.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36You deserve someone you can rely on to run the business.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40Best case scenario. But I also have to get on with them.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44- We get on, don't we? - Can't stand your guts.
0:22:46 > 0:22:52Look, after today, you know, Phil, you, Amy, Ronnie,
0:22:52 > 0:22:55I've come to a decision.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58I just think you should have someone else work for you.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00You're giving yourself the sack?
0:23:01 > 0:23:03- Yeah, I guess I am.- Forget it.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08- Then I'll resign. - No, sorry, not accepting it.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11I need two people to run the stall and you're not going anywhere.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14- But hold on a minute... - No. End of.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18Right, I'm not letting you sit here, feeling sorry for yourself.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21You're coming with me to watch a bunch of people making utter mugs
0:23:21 > 0:23:24out of themselves, me included.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32You decided to turn your back on the most precious person
0:23:32 > 0:23:34in your life.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36It's, "You made the decision
0:23:36 > 0:23:39"to turn your back on the most precious person in your life."
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Johnny? Johnny? Where's Johnny? Johnny, Johnny, Johnny.
0:23:42 > 0:23:43Next scene, please.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Stace made a real effort with them decorations today.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47The least you could have done was help put them up.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49- I told her I had to see someone. - Hold on, who's "her"?
0:23:49 > 0:23:51- Martin, it doesn't matter. - No, it DOES matter.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54She's been moping around all weekend and I'm just sick of it.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Patrick, the next scene is
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Scrooge and the Ghost of Christmas Present, so...Carmel.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03If we could have a line run first,
0:24:03 > 0:24:06then we'll try and put it on its feet, OK?
0:24:06 > 0:24:09MUSIC: Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas by Frank Sinatra
0:24:09 > 0:24:13# Have yourself a merry little Christmas
0:24:14 > 0:24:18# Let your heart be light
0:24:21 > 0:24:26# From now on, our troubles
0:24:26 > 0:24:28# Will be out of sight. #
0:24:29 > 0:24:33Let's just see what happens. Yep.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Can we have some quiet now, please?
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Find a seat and settle, yes.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Patrick, move one step to your right, would you?
0:24:51 > 0:24:54Spirit, have pity on me. Don't leave me alone.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57What have I done to be abandoned like this?
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Good!
0:25:01 > 0:25:05And could we have the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come, please?
0:25:06 > 0:25:09LAUGHTER
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Whither do you beckon me now?
0:25:20 > 0:25:24Oh, this is a fearful place.
0:25:24 > 0:25:25Point at the headstone, Billy.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31Before I draw close to that stone, tell me, are these the shadows of
0:25:31 > 0:25:35things that must, or of things that might be?
0:25:35 > 0:25:38And look at the headstone, Patrick.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42Brush away some of the dirt and you see...
0:25:42 > 0:25:44your name.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Why do you show me this, if I'm beyond all hope?
0:25:48 > 0:25:50SHE MOUTHS
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Oh, I have been selfish.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Wounded those closest to me and have lost their trust.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Say that I might be spared this wretched end.
0:26:10 > 0:26:15Assure me that I have the power to change my ways.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19That, wretched as I am...
0:26:21 > 0:26:23..I may yet be redeemed...
0:26:25 > 0:26:30..and find a meaningful place in this world.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40APPLAUSE
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Yeah, man.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49Do you think it's too late for me to change?
0:26:49 > 0:26:51Only you can answer that.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55- Why am I so selfish? - We're all selfish, Rox.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58How... How could I forget to pick her up?
0:26:58 > 0:27:02Stop beating yourself up about it. It could have happened to anyone.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09Thank you, Donna, for being a proper mate.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11That's all right.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15As a mate, I need to say something.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17OK.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21It may not be what you want to hear.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23What?
0:27:23 > 0:27:27If you want a chance to really change things,
0:27:27 > 0:27:30then maybe you should start in a place that matters the most.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35'Amy.'
0:27:35 > 0:27:38- Hey, sweetie, what's up? - Did you have a bad dream?
0:27:38 > 0:27:40I was in some woods and it was dark.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43Oh, darling, come here.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46It's all right, sweetie, I'm here.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50'The best thing my mum ever did for me was putting me up for fostering.'
0:27:50 > 0:27:52'I'm not doing that with Amy.'
0:27:52 > 0:27:54'If you want to stop being selfish'
0:27:54 > 0:27:59and give yourself the chance to really get your head together,
0:27:59 > 0:28:02- then...- What?
0:28:02 > 0:28:06..maybe the best thing you can do for Amy right now is to let her go.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Ask Ronnie and Jack to adopt Amy.
