Get out!

That's my wedding dress...

-Get out. Get out! Get out!

-Calm down!

Calm down!

It's OK.

No, it's not OK.

It's not.

It's just a job.

What?

I know that you got the sack.

Oh, you think...?

I don't care about any of that!

Well, what then?

I can't do this any more.

I actually can't keep it in.

-It hurts...

-Hurts? You're freaking me out, Abi. What?

Steven!

What about him?

I miss him.

You miss him? Seriously?

I miss him because I was in love with him.

And he was in love with me.

Where's your wallet?

I haven't got one.

Liar!

All right, all right. Take the cash, I don't care, but not that,

it's got pictures of my mum in it.

-What are you doing?

-Come on, love.

Get out!

Get out! Out, out, out!

Just get out! Get out!

Out! Out! Out! Out!

Please move.

Please.

I'll run you over.

I will. I swear.

TYRES SCREECH

So you had a little crush on Steven then, is that what you're saying?

It wasn't a crush.

We were together.

Together?

We were having an affair.

What, you don't believe me?

I, erm...

When? When?

I'm not proud of myself, Lauren, but it happened.

No, I would've known about it.

He was all over me.

He suffocated me. If Steven was having an affair,

I would know about it.

Well, it was when you were at work with Josh.

Or when you swanned off to Exeter.

Liar.

It's the truth.

You're making it up.

No, I'm not!

Yeah, you are.

You're just trying to hurt me for some weird, sick reason...

No, no, I've got proof...

No, I'm not listening to this any more.

I'm going and you can carry on doing whatever it is that you are doing...

Look.

Why was it so hard to believe?

Because.

Because you think if someone had you they wouldn't even look at me?

Because sisters don't do that to each other.

-Boo!

-Oooh, another ghost.

-Donna did well today.

-I know, didn't she?

Now, do you mind if I pick her up at about seven o'clock?

-Yeah, that's fine.

-I mean, unless you want me to stay?

-I know I said I was going to stay...

-No.

I think she's a little bit miffed

because I let her brother go trick or treating.

I see.

Janet, I've got a very important task for you, OK?

You are in charge of the sweets for the trick or treaters.

Do you think you can manage that?

Yeah?

-And as a reward, you could have some yourself.

-Yay!

-Yeah.

-Thank you.

Now, do I get a kiss or is that too scary for ghosts?

-Kiss.

-Thank you. Now, here's your parcel.

-Thank you.

-Off you go to the party.

-Come, let's go get them ready.

-Have fun! See ya later.

See you.

SHE GASPS FOR BREATH

We don't have to wear these if you're not all right about it?

No, it's fine. I'm just cold.

Does my bum look all right from behind?

You can't see my knicker line, can you?

No, you look good.

Who are you trying to impress anyway?

No-one.

What's Mr Pryce doing tonight?

Watching a horror film with Mum.

Boring.

Look, tonight is about me and you having a laugh with our mates.

DOORBELL RINGS

That'll be them.

Right, ready?

Stop being such a slice!

Come on, Rob, put your hand in there!

Isn't that cruelty to animals?

Is it a spider? No, I don't like spiders...

-I thought you loved 'em.

-I love tarantulas!

Are you winding me up?

Ignore him. He's just trying to psyche you out. Come on.

Right...

Argh! I'm out. I'm out.

-Does that mean I won?

-Yeah, by default.

Come on then, what was it?

Here y'are then. Look. Here y'are.

-Spaghetti! Come on, mate...

-Gutted!

What, you thought I was going to let you reef up a spider?

What did I win?

-A drink.

-Yeah, a drink.

Tina better liven up them spirits.

It's funny, I thought everyone was going to be watching me today,

just waiting for me to have some sort of meltdown,

but I didn't.

I was actually all right cos I thought Steven would...

He's done the worst thing he could possibly do to me.

And I thought it was over.

And now this...

I feel sick.

Don't touch me.

I'm so sorry, Lauren.

Honestly I am.

But it's not like you ever wanted him.

You wanted Josh.

Yeah, I did.

But I didn't go there, did I?

Don't make out you're whiter than white.

You treated Steven like dirt.

I treated Steven like dirt?!

How did it happen, then?

Did he come on to you?

Did he take advantage of you?

No!

Cos I know what he could be like.

He knew how to get in people's heads.

-Was he controlling you?

-No!

It's OK,

I'm not angry.

OK, I am. I am...very angry.

I get that it weren't your fault, you didn't know what you was doing...

I knew exactly what I was doing.

We were in love.

Steven didn't know how to love anyone.

No, you're wrong. He did.

Steven had a big heart.

Too big in a way.

Convincing me that he was dying is,

is not a big-hearted thing to do, Abi!

It is cruel!

And it comes from a dark, dark place.

He was mixed up, yeah.

But I understood why.

I got him in a way that...

you just never did.

Oh, please...

It's true.

OK.

SNIFFLES How did you get him, then?

I'm not telling you...

Cos there's nothing to get.

OK, fine. We both knew what it was like to have a golden sibling.

To feel like you never measured up.

Stop.

Boohoo.

You didn't get the TV remote?

Boohoo, I had to wear my sister's hand-me-downs?

Mock me if you like, it doesn't matter,

because I knew what we meant to each other.

So, you were in love, were ya?

Yeah.

OK, then.

Let's hear it.

What?

Let's hear the romantic story about how Abi and Steven got together.

Once upon a time, there was a sad little orphan.

She was abandoned by her parents,

she was bullied by her big sister.

Is that how it starts?

I'm not doing this, Lauren.

Wait.

You have just told me that you were sleeping with my psycho fiance.

And you are standing in my wedding dress!

So we're doing this!

I've got a mate whose dad's cousin works on the door at a club

in Mile End. Least he used to...

Might be able to get us in.

I'm not really up for a late one, to be honest.

Yeah. Me neither. I had a late one last night.

What, watching cartoons?

Yes, tune.

That looks good.

Thanks. It's really nice.

So do you. Look good, I mean.

So, are you up for doing something later or...?

Maybe.

Erm, listen, I'm just going to head out for a sec.

Where are you going?

I'm just going to get some lemonade. Running low.

You look gorgeous by the way.

When do I get to see the full outfit?

Travis, don't.

Sorry.

-You know I don't care about the scars...

-Yeah, thanks.

Oi.

-Let's tell ghost stories.

-Yes.

I hate ghost stories.

Yeah, we're not five.

Nah. That actually sounds like a laugh.

And we could turn the lights out.

DOOR CLOSES

-<

-Bex? Is that you?

Bex?

TV ON IN BACKGROUND

Ain't you cold?

Where's Gethin?

Oh, he had marking to do.

I am too scared to sit and watch a horror film on me own,

so it's anything that's on the telly for me tonight.

What you doing back here, anyway?

Nothing. Forget it.

Oh, and take a coat!

Meow.

It's a bit lame, innit?

I don't really do fancy dress.

Are you going out?

Yeah, work do.

KNOCKING AT DOOR

-Have we got any treats in?

-Treats?

-Oh!

PHIL SIGHS

Hello?

BELL RATTLES

Hello?

Trick or treat!

Oh, you nearly gave me a heart attack.

I'll go in and see what we've got. Hang on.

I thought Sharon said she was going to buy something,

before she went out?

Do we trick her?

Nah, Phil'll freak. Come on.

All right, we don't have any sweets, I'm afraid,

it's going to have to be digestives...

Oh, OK, then.

Right, so she's sat in her car, she's alone on a deserted road

and she's waiting for her boyfriend to come back,

when all of a sudden she hears knock...

knock...knock...

-on the roof of the car...

-I don't like this.

So suddenly she sees a blinding light from a police car

and two policemen tell her to get out of the car and start

walking towards them, but whatever she does, she cannot look back.

So she gets out the car, starts walking towards the light...

..but she can't resist looking back...

SCREAM

-What's happening?

-Oi, you're spoiling it.

-Get the lemonade?

-Carry on! She looks back...

I thought you were wetting your pants?

So she...she looks back and she sees a man

standing on the roof of her car holding a stick in his hand.

And on the end of the stick is her boyfriend's head.

And he's banging it on the roof of the car.

Doof, doof, doof.

He thought that you were having an affair and he needed proof.

What?

You're saying that he was watching me when I was...

When I was in the office?

Yeah, it was some spyware off the internet.

It was crazy...

Wait, what?

I can't get my head round this...

What?

He told you?

No, I caught him one day.

I wanted to shake him out of it.

Make him realise that this was wrong,

that you two just weren't right for each other. So, yeah...

..I told him about the abortion.

You came with me to the clinic!

You helped me make the decision...

..and the whole time you were helping him

with his perverted little game!

No, I knew that you were unhappy.

I knew that it needed to end somehow

and this was the only way that I could get through to him.

The brain tumour.

Abi, did you know he was lying?

Oh, you did!

It wasn't my idea.

I kept telling him to come clean.

So you helped him trick me.

Yeah...

Because you called me when I was in the hospital

and you said that Louie, he had a fall, so I had to go...

He was desperate. He convinced me.

I knew that it'd gone too far

but he was sick, Lauren.

He needed help and he was going to get it.

Counselling, therapy - whatever it took.

You are disgusting.

Both of you.

Fine. Think what you like.

I can't even look at you.

Well, then go.

Because I don't even care any more.

Close the door on your way out.

-Thank you.

-Bye.

We're running out.

Oh, no!

But luckily I've got a secret supply in the kitchen.

-Yeah?

-Yeah. PHONE RINGS

Hi, Honey.

Yes, yes, everything is going well.

We're having a great time, aren't we, Janet?

OK.

Yeah, yeah. See you later. Bye.

-Shall we go and find some more, then?

-Yes.

-Yep.

-But don't tell the others, OK?

-No.

-It's a secret.

BACKGROUND CHATTER AND MUSIC

Are you all right?

I wish I hadn't had to come straight from work.

I do a brilliant Olivia Newton John.

-We could've matched.

-Eh?

Well, you're one of the T-Birds, aren't you? Danny?

No.

Obviously, I'm The Fonz.

"Aaay."

Yeah, I think you need to do a bit of work on that.

Are you all right for drinks?

That punch looks good.

Yeah, don't get too excited. It's a bit like Robbie.

Secret virgin.

Charging a tenner to get in n'all.

Are we being scammed?

PHONE BLEEPS

SHE BREATHES DEEPLY

CAR STARTS

Trick or treat!

Trick or treat!

Yes.

Aw, don't you look scary!

I've got you some sweets. Hang on.

Here you go, darling.

Ha! I meant trick and treat!

-What on earth is that?!

-Leg it!

Oi, you. Not so fast.

Slow down, Ricky, thank you.

OK, now, my spooky spirits and ghostly ghouls,

are we ready for another game of hide and seek yet?

Yeah!

Yeah! Let's do it!

But who should be it?

Daddy!

Good plan.

Jack, go stand with your back to the room and cover your eyes, please.

OK.

WHISPERS: OK, now everyone needs to be quiet.

-He's cheating!

-Grass!

Thank you for pointing that out, Chatham.

Cover your eyes, Jack.

OK, 15 seconds to find the best hiding place.

Go! Go, go, go, go, go!

15!

14!

13!

12!

11!

Ten!

Nine!

Hi, Dennis.

Eight!

Seven!

Six!

Five!

Quick we need to hide!

Four!

Three! Two!

One!

KNOCKS LOUDLY

Abi!

Abi!

Listen, I ain't going anywhere until you come out and face me!

Are you still here?

I'm not going out.

Why not?

Tom's outside.

What, stalker Tom?

Yep.

What, and you're hiding in here like a scaredy cat?

What am I supposed to do?

What are you doing, Phil?

Oi, you!

Yeah, you!

Oi!

Sorted.

-Sorted?

-Yeah, sorted.

Well, I suppose I could do with a bit more fresh air.

I'll walk you to the Tube station, yeah?

I didn't realise you were so keen to get rid of me.

What's he doing? I thought we were supposed to be going out.

Right, looks like I'm telling another story then.

You guys know that boiler room at school?

You know the one that smells really weird?

Well, apparently, about ten years ago, there was this accident...

Oh!

SCREAMS

Oi!

How do you think Lou feels, eh?

I'm so sorry.

It's not that, Honey, but I went out and I bought sweets specially

and it ain't the deal, is it?

-Billy!

-What?

William. What have you got to say for yourself?

-It was Dennis's idea!

-That is no excuse.

If Dennis told you to jump off a cliff, would you do that?

I'm sorry.

Well, Dennis ran off, perhaps you can give Phil a ring?

Yeah, we'll take care of it.

-All right. Night.

-Night.

-I'm really sorry.

-Yeah.

Bedroom now. And we'll talk punishment in the morning.

I don't know what you're laughing at, Billy.

You need to get on the phone to Phil right now.

-He ain't going to care, is he?

-Well, I do care.

You need to get him to come round here, we need to discuss that boy.

BILLY SIGHS

-Course I didn't plan it. What's the problem?

-Look at it!

Lou feels bad enough without you rubbing it in her face.

-It was a bit dodge, bruv...

-Are you all right, Lou?

He didn't mean nothing by it.

-Travis, it's OK...

-No, it's not.

-Apologise.

-No way. It was a joke.

And plus, I've had this mask for ages!

It's true, he's worn it for the last three years.

It doesn't matter. Like, you should've thought about it.

If she wants an apology, she can ask herself.

I've said it's fine, can everyone just shut up about it!

Everyone's hidden so well.

I really don't know where they could be.

Gotcha! Yes.

We were doing so well!

Come on, we've only gotta find three more.

D'ya want to come and help me get 'em? Come on, then.

I wonder if anyone's hiding upstairs?

Come on!

SCARY VOICE

GIGGLES AND CHATTER

PHONE RINGS

SHE GASPS

All right, fine!

I'm going.

Get off me!

What is that?

Get off me.

-Are they Steven's ashes?

-Please.

Are they?!

Yeah.

I thought Billy had 'em.

He couldn't go on his own.

He didn't deserve that.

He deserved to rot. Now just give me 'em.

No.

SHE SCREAMS

Lauren! Lauren! No!

Lauren!

No! No!

SHE SCREAMS

LAUREN WEEPS

Billy! What?

Any sign upstairs?

No.

I really can't find any of 'em.
