All language subtitles for Waterloo Road s02e04

Yeah.

Nice one.

Oi, my dad's going to be back any
minute.

That right?

Because it seems to me he's away for a
bit longer.

Put the bins out on a Wednesday.

Steve Clark comes on a Thursday.

I'm going to have to keep him company
now.

Just give him the flaming tip, yeah?

Look, I won't take it if you don't want
to give it, because that would be

stealing. No.

Look, she's right.

Take it.

Look, you've got no hard feelings, don't
you?

Look, you better get out or I'm calling
the police.

This is the way we'll call them. And
I'll call mummy and let her know where

are getting up to naughty tricks with
your boyfriend.

Anyway, you can't throw us out now.

Not when there'll be a party going on.

So, what music have you got?

Come on, get in.

Elmer, you put that back, yeah? Come on,
lad.

Elmer, get in that net.

Elmer, get in that net.

Elmer, get in that net. Elmer, get in
that net.

Elmer, get

in

that net.

Get up.

Now. Why don't you just sod off and buy
some other school?

Try letting it go your own way, and it's
backfired in my face. So that's it.

You're going to stop your arty attitude
to me and your teachers. You know where

my attitude comes from. Get in the
shower.

Flaming head.

Is that a painkiller? No, man.

Charles?

Oi, Charles.

Look at his face.

I'll get a bit last night, then.

Right. When you're out of here, now.

Just get her some painkillers. Look, I
ain't got no painkillers.

You gave us an headache and now you've
got an out -to -out sortie. You need to

learn to become a good host, don't you?

Bottle of aspirin.

What's that cost?

That 80 quid? I think 80 quid's just
about cover it.

He's paid for his bad manners. Look, I
want that back.

Won't be nice, taking his money. After
such a great party.

But I will take the tip you offered me
last night, though.

Very kind.

Nice one, Dante.

Cheers, mate. Be all right.

Yeah, cheers, man.

Racking now.

And we can pop round to see whenever we
want. Nice. Come on.

Hello.

Have

you

all got the words there? I want to know
about it.

Have you all right?

Morning.

Hello, Mika.

I was glad to hear about that rotten
Leanne.

I see her website's unavailable and all.
I told you we'd teach her a lesson,

didn't I?

See you in a bit.

I think she's going to need a bit more
time after what she's been through.

Where's Holly?

Why didn't you come in with her?

She did miss.

She's just walked off when I said hello.

Oh, did she now?

Yeah, we've got loads of homework done.

That's it for night out, Chloe.

Until I see you soon.

Listen to me, not them.

To prepare for my planning meeting,
you're going to your common room.

Remember to try and relax before we get
the best images.

Hopefully there won't be anything to get
an image off.

Well, this is all about making sure.

So try and relax and breathe normally.

Mr. Rimmer in?

Your first headache of the day.

Sit down.

Must be a really good mate that you use
as alcohol, innit? Yes.

My best mate.

Don't you, Charles? I never heard of
him.

Oh, what?

Just saying. I didn't know he was your
best mate.

So?

Of course, yes.

Why do you think he's in here?

Yeah. Says we can help ourselves to
whatever we want.

So what's the game then, eh?

Founded some revenge for getting caught
out playing underage girls with drink.

Didn't like the design.

Listen.

That model is a symbol of all of your
father's achievements.

Don't you realize how proud he is of
what he's doing for the school?

Yeah? That's why it felt brilliant to
smash it to bits. Look, we know you've

a thing about your father, but you don't
get your own back by behaving like a

two -year -old child.

You tried having a normal conversation
with him.

You could have tried having a discussion
with one of us instead of resulting to

violence.

Sometimes actions speak louder than
words, yeah?

Well, let me just put you straight,
yeah?

All your actions are saying is that I'm
a spoiled little brat.

So you better think up some better
words.

Go and get yourself to your first class.

What is there to think about?

If that had been any other pupil, they'd
be out the door by now.

That's what's to think about.

The impact on our league table results,
we're potentially looking at four

straight A's, though. Jack, you cannot
have one rule for everybody else and a

special one for him. Have a look in
there, see if you can find anyone else

going to get higher than a C.

Better results mean more pupils, more
government funding.

So what, are we supposed to just turn a
blind eye to anything else he does in

the school?

I'm not saying that.

Davina, can you get me planning papers
ready?

Yes, Mr Amir.

Look, obviously I'll have to give Roger
a call, get him to do the disciplining

at home.

Can you not get through to him? What's
at stake here?

That was a bit of a bold faff from you
on the exclusions front, wasn't it?

Brett Aspinall is hardly going to start
terrorising the local shopkeepers, is

he?

He can just buy him a place at private
school or hire a tutor in for him. He's

got endless options.

The people you were excluding had got
nothing else going for them. Right, so

this is not about a principle of equal
treatment for all.

Why don't you just save your clever
remarks for Lorna Dickey?

Well, at least I can have a conversation
with her.

Kim, what do I have to do to make it up
with you?

Please. I left the job, didn't I? So it
can't be that.

I honestly don't know what else... Maybe
I just don't like you, Andrew.

So, is he up for the high jump, then?

I don't think his dad would want our
exam results dropping below radar, eh?

Well, all Roger said to me about his son
was bragging about him being at private

school.

Anyway, I'm sure if he stays on here,
he's bound to cause trouble.

Well, I'll just have to bang both their
heads together then, won't I?

And hope that some of Roger's overseas
funds find their way into our bank

account soon.

Well, I sent him another reminder for
those invoices.

That's my girl.

Morning. Morning. Morning, Steph.

Oh, been taking the happy pills this
morning, have we, Jack?

You must have noticed his moon swings,
have you?

One minute way up there, the next
crashing down to Earth.

No. Well, you will.

You just never know where you are with
him. Really.

Here's your photocopies.

Thank you.

That's me.

It isn't you.

I love flowers.

No.

Obviously in one of his manic phases
right now.

These are the final plans to be
committed to the DFES with our

We've had to move the swimming pool from
its initial location because it cut

across the supply lines to the main
building.

I'll be able to show you better on the
model after the meeting.

I was going to raise this under any
other business, but your model is no

No more?

What are you talking about?

It's been smashed to pieces, I'm afraid.

A pupil's taken a heavy object to it.

Well, I hope you're showing this pupil
the flaming door.

I suppose I could say your son, Brett,
is responsible.

What? Look, I'm sure you'd rather deal
with his issues yourself, Roger. What's

more of a concern to me at the moment is
our present cash flow situation.

I mean, we've got A -level groups with
no textbooks.

Listen, Rimmer, I've proved my
commitment with the new sixth form

The finance committee has agreed on the
rest of the interim payments plan, and I

don't want any special privileges for my
son. If he's done what you've said,

then he's out.

Eh? I mean it. And I'll be telling him
so tonight.

Look, all you need to do is to reel him
in a bit. I mean, he's not a bad lad, is

he? We all think he's got a lot going
for himself.

Are you listening to me at all? I can
see that he's embarrassed you. Why don't

get our head of pastoral, Miss Campbell,
to have a word with him, yeah?

I'm sure she'll get to the bottom of
what's going on in his head. I know

going on in his head.

Adolescent hormones.

And I suspect it's you he's trying to
take a pop at.

Bottom line is, if he can't fit in here,
then I'm sending him back to Kingsmere

College. End of.

Now, I'd be grateful if you'd leave us
to get on with our planning meeting,

seeing as how your own role in the new
academy is not yet assured.

Nigel?

Would you mind, Mr Rimmer?

Mika? Um... I feel awful about letting
you down.

I know I made things worse for you, and
then when Tom told me about the pills,

I... You're a lovely girl, Mika.

Don't let anybody else put you down, OK?

Same with you, mate.

Sorry?

Well, I mean, aren't you still chasing
after Mr Rimmer?

Me?

Chasing after Mr Rimmer?

I don't think so, Mika.

If anything, it was the other way
around.

Just everyone said he dumped you for the
new second.

Rubbish. Go on.

We need to get an apology out of Brett.

Yeah, now we're going to do that.

Bum screws.

We're going to need him. He's a self
-righteous little so -and -so. Like his

dad. More criticism of Roger. Don't you
ever stop that we're looking for

solutions here.

Tell Roger to keep his nose out of our
affairs.

Goodbye, Academy.

Wonderful. Come on, guys. Can we have
some collective spirit here?

Why don't both of you talk to Brad and
see where he's coming from?

He's not telling me, is he?

Well, I'm happy to talk to him on my
own.

No, I think you should take Andrew with
you. He's a tough nut to crack. If Kim

wants to do it on her own, then I've got
plenty of other things to do. I said I

want both of you in there, OK?

We need him to say sorry to Daddy.

What's wrong with you two, anyway?

Jack.

The flowers are absolutely gorgeous.

Thank you so much.

They look really expensive.

I hope I'm worth it.

You are, for sure.

Only they're not from me.

Oh.

Oh, they must be from your dad.

He said he had a surprise for me.

He's, um, he just got home.

He's been working overseas for the last
three months.

Why didn't he send them to your home?

He's weird.

You wouldn't have a secret admirer by
any chance, would you?

I wish.

Nigel, can I have a word?

Yes, sure.

Is it this Rimmer enjoyed doing the
opposite of what I want?

I know he's been needling my soul from
the start.

And all this bugging me about the money?
I tell you, Nigel, I'm that far away

from taking my whole investment
elsewhere.

I can't be financing a school if I'm at
constant loggerheads with the acting

head. I know what you mean.

I've had my own run -ins with Rimmer, as
you know.

So I can count on the board's support
when it comes to making a permanent

appointment.

Yeah, love.

Not being yourself this term, have you?

Feeling a bit low, Grantley.

Binned off by Jack just like that the
minute a new bit of totty comes along.

I believe this is one of the known
drawbacks of workplace romances.

Maybe I'm just past it, Grantley.

Maybe I should buy myself a little dog
and bugger finding a man to love me.

I think the drowning of sorrows is
called for.

Hmm? Last bell to the pub.

Hi, Lorna.

How'd it go?

Well, I lied when I said I wasn't
claustrophobic, but I've got to wait

get back to my GP for the results.

Right, so you didn't find anything out
today?

Well, the only thing I found out was
that mascara's got iron in it.

Another word?

Everything all right, Lorne?

Honestly, the best thing will be moving
into my new flat, if you're both still

on for it tonight.

Oh, yeah. I've been doing weight
training for the event.

Well, there'll be beers during and pizza
after.

A new start, yeah?

It wasn't mindless vandalism.

It was an act of creative destruction.

Yeah, whatever, but just right now,
we're trying to work out whether you

continue your A -level studies at
Waterloo Road or not.

That's what I came for, isn't it?

Get away from the cadet corps morons at
public school. Well, you won't be

staying here if you don't try and get on
the right side of your father. If my

dad wants to pull me out, I'll leave
home.

Make myself a ward of court or whatever.

He's the one who should pull out.

Then obviously you...

between you and your dad, but, you know,
nothing's impossible to solve, is it?

Depends if you want to solve it.

You can't go through your entire life
being angry with your dad.

It's only a small word, but sorry works
every time.

I'm not the one who should be saying
sorry.

You must know how much this will hurt
him.

I've already said I'm pleased with what
I've done.

Someone as clever as you are, someone as
privileged as you... I don't think

having your mum die on you when you're
15 makes you privileged.

That must have been awful. I'm so sorry.

It can't have been easy on your dad
either.

He was hardly ever there.

He's a busy man.

Not too busy to go screwing another
woman.

I caught him with her.

Me mum had only been dead a week.

Leave it, Louie.

Oh, fuck it, you. You're trying to make
me not get my ass bowl lifted. Of course

I will. They're not going to care if you
pull one sickie. Get up, you stupid

cow.

I think I'm going to throw up.

Oh, for God's sake.

Get out of here in ten minutes or else.
You can't stay in me, don't you? Just do

as you're told and bring them keys back
to me or you're for it.

Let's buy one of them off you, mate.

Not for sale, mate.

Come on, Dante, we've got loads of stuff
to do.

No wonder the lad's so twisted.

You can't say anything to Roger.

Oh, of course not.

But we're going to be in deep trouble
with Ofsted if our A -level programme

tits up.

Unless, of course, we find another set
of parents who are willing to take their

kid out of a posh fee -paying school and
bung him in here. I think you know the

answer to that one.

Till we actually see the colour of
Roger's cash.

His son is worth more to me than he is.

Still got to keep him on board, though,
haven't we?

At least till the government funding's
guaranteed for the academy.

You're getting the hang of this, aren't
you, Andrew?

Look, I'm not happy about any of this
wheeling and dealing we have to do.

But he'd hardly be the only sponsor who
felt about, would he?

Right, I've written back to the gas and
I've told them we're not paying them

until they guarantee the boiler's fixed
for at least a year.

Good.

And, um, you'll see here... Mrs
Franklin's threatening

to come up to complain again.

After all, I'm going to fail the
subject.

Her son got a D because he deserves a D.

And?

And what?

And should I say anything else?

Like what?

Like... For example, we expect him to do
better this year.

But we don't, though, do we?

Let's not go giving her ideas, eh?

Right, then.

We are.

Divina, I love you.

I know who's behind this.

Tracy.

You see, I've got this mad friend who
thinks playing practical jokes on people

isn't right, love.

All right.

OK.

Well, the truth is, I, um... I told her
I really liked you.

Well, um... More than that, actually.

So this is trying to do what?

I don't know.

Make life difficult.

She wants to get herself off to a
shrink.

I've told her the exact same thing.

You tell her, from me, that she should
stop with the practical jokes, yeah?

We don't want the children going on with
a load of daft story.

Oh, I will.

I'll give her hell.

For your nonsense, Brett.

Oh, don't give me that.

You sent those flowers, didn't you?

Like them?

And the stupid blooms.

I meant what they said.

You'd better stop this right now.

I'm only showing my appreciation.

I bet it's not every day you get
attention like that.

I was thinking of sending a singagram
next.

Yeah? And I'll be after you with a
blooming shotgun.

Well, then tell me what I want to hear.

That you fancy me.

I knew it. You know nothing.

You do, don't you?

If the authorities got hold of it, I'd
be sacked straight off.

For what?

A good -looking rich boy like you.

I mean, it's crazy that you're at this
dump anyway.

Why don't you just do what your dad
wants and get out of here?

I like winding him up. You're winding me
up. Maybe I like doing that too.

It could really wind me dad up if I told
him about us.

We do this.

And I mean it.

It's on my terms.

Okay?

I can be discreet if you want.

No problem.

Well, if you're not, it's over.

And that means no fooling around in
school.

Full stop.

I'm definitely living up to 99 % service
anyway.

Well, after I've spent hours lacing all
that booze.

Oh my god.

Dante!

I don't believe it.

Look at the state of it.

How did they get in?

I bet it's a kitchen window, innit?

They haven't come through the front
door.

Well, there ain't no other way of
getting in, then.

They could use a ladder, but...

It's

dead end.

Dead end?

How do you know?

Because it named a flaming team.

My dad's car badge collection.

They named a lot of them.

He's been collecting them for years.

My dad's going to kill me, Chloe.

My sister had to have a scan once.

She rolled out a brain tumour.

Which it did.

But she said the whole thing was a
pretty ghastly experience.

I think hospitals are just designed to
make you feel awful.

I don't know why anyone would want to
work in one.

People don't know why we want to work in
a school.

Yes, they do, Andrew. It's for the
social status and the six -figure

Are you still all right to leave on time
tonight?

Absolutely.

Going to have to call the police, yeah?

We can't go to the police.

I don't care what my mum thinks.

They're not going to get away with it.

Yeah.

Yeah, too right, they're not going to
get away with it.

What are you doing?

We know where Lewis didn't work, guys.

I'm going to get him after school.

Don't. You can't. You can't do that.

I'm sorry, Chloe.

I've got to get my dad's things back.

Roger, just to update you.

Listen, I've had a meeting with my
senior management team and we're all of

opinion that Brett is best staying on.

So...

Been on a camping holiday.

Sorry, I was at... Listen, before you
start telling me another fib, maybe you

could make yourself useful.

Isn't it about time you told me what
you've got on Roger Aspinall?

You remember you said you hinted that he
didn't make his money from widgets.

So were then.

Well, he kept getting these letters from
Jersey, from a company called HGX

Publications.

And always with cheques attached.

Read cheques.

But they weren't made out to Roger.

No? No.

They were made out to this other
company, Marino Flex.

So I thought, well, what's this when
it's at home?

I'm not surprised.

So I asked Roger, how come all these
cheques are getting sent to you?

And he was like, I'm paying you to
answer the phone, not to ask a lot of

questions.

Didn't put you off, though, did it?

Well, look, HGX Publications is all
adult entertainment, and Merino Flex

make anything.

Work it out for yourself.

Well, it's good to know we've got some
funds.

Where's my thumb?

What?

Right, you, pack your stuff up.

Excuse me?

He's leaving this school.

Now, shift it. There's no way. Get out
of my class before I call the police.

don't tell me what to do.

On your feet, now.

Leave me alone, will you? You, go and
get Mr Rimmer.

What, do you want me to wrestle you out?
You're off your head. For the last

time, will you, leave my classroom?

Thought you.

Right, everybody out.

What are you doing?

Mr Aspinall has lost control of his
senses.

Why are you such a bully?

He's told you don't want to leave.

Well, I'm his father and he does what I
tell him.

What the bloody hell's going on? Would
you please remove this bully from my

classroom, Mr Rimmer? I'm here to remove
my son.

For God's sake, Roger.

I warned you, Rimmer. I suggest we go to
my office. I've got some other issues

to raise with you.

You're making a fool of yourself.

He's lost it.

Mr Aspinall.

You don't talk me down in front of me
own son.

For God's sake!

He started it! I don't believe this.

Disgusting with Hinchcliffe. The board's
on my side.

I'm entitled to have my views taken into
account. Your son wants to stay at

Waterloo Row. How many times have I got
to tell you he's not being taught here?

We're trying to see both sides of this,
Roger.

Do you want me to take my money away?

Put them plans in the bin? We definitely
don't want that. Do we, Jack?

I don't think Roger would do anything so
hasty.

Well, I'm not putting another penny into
this place till there's a headteacher

here who's on my wavelength.

You won't even get an interview.

Can't we talk about this, Roger?

Yeah, before you make up your mind.

Jack!

You'll soon be history, Rimmer.

When I get the echo ahead for the
Academy, I'll have my say on all the

Er, Roger.

What's this?

This is how Roger earned his money,
Andrew.

Although I'm sure he wouldn't like me to
prove that to the Board of Governors.

So much for local boy makes good, eh?

Stop it.

Please.

Please leave it.

You're going to go to jail if you
assault him. I don't care.

Look, I'm sorry, yeah, Chloe, but I've
got to do this. Just stop.

Stop and think about it.

It's you that's going to get done for
this, not Seddon.

Or you two.

Where do you think you're going?

We're just going to nip around to
Dante's for a bit. No, you're spending

much time together.

Come with me.

Mum, I can't. I'm not arguing, Chloe.

I don't know what you're doing.

Look, I know it's porn, but my whole
workforce depends on that income to feed

their families.

This is money laundering. As soon as I
get this big MOD contract, it'll all be

straightened out. Yeah, well, meanwhile,
I've got a major headache here.

I can't be seen to be financing the
school from the porn industry.

What do you mean you can't be seen? You
can't do it, full stop.

I like to solve problems, mate.

Jack, this isn't on. If it's found out
we're educating our children on the back

of porn magazines... Yeah, but we're
not.

Porn finances Rogers Offshore Company.

which finances Aspinall Industrial
Fixings, which is going to finance the

school.

Isn't that right, Roger?

Strictly speaking.

Strictly speaking, we're breaking the
law. Oh, don't be so poor -faced.

It's not like the mums and dads don't
use a bit of porn themselves, is it?

Jack! Of course, if we are going ahead
with this, then certain things will have

to change.

Like, for example, the name of the
school.

Eh?

The Roger Aspinall Academy?

It's a bit of a hostage to fortune,
isn't it?

I mean, you might as well call it the
Big Baps Academy.

Please don't tell my son.

Yeah, well, maybe there's a lot you're
not telling him.

Like what?

Look, there's been a flaming war going
on between you about something that

happened after his mum died. Now, that's
for you and him to sort out.

But you'd better add, Roger, if you want
your plans for Waterloo Road to go

ahead.

Leave it with me.

Excellent.

And, er... I trust this means that my
future here is assured, yeah?

I think we understand each other.

Where have you guys been?

You put that down there. You gave me my
books. Yeah. Well, give me what you

nicked then.

Nicked? Look, I smashed up this whole
restaurant. Don't you hold on.

Oh, the little cow.

What are you on about?

It's my girlfriend, Maxine. She done it.
You're lying.

I'm not lying. She's a junkie. They nick
things.

She must have stole your keys from me.
Oh, right. So you did nick them. One of

them back and all, said him. Okay, look,
don't you? I promise you'll get

everything back.

You know what, man?

You're just a little shit, said him.

Look, I'll buzz her now. Just take a
seat, don't I? I'll get you a cup of tea

the house.

I'll just go and get my dad's stuff
back.

Right, that's all the living room
bedroom.

Oh, one nearly there, then. What are you
going to sleep on, Lorna?

No bed?

Oh, I've got to buy a new bed. Tom took
our old one to the dump.

Oh, right.

No sofa either?

No, that was where Tom first committed
adultery.

I'll be fine on a futon for now.

Right.

Um...

Pitching away.

Indefinitive and pro -normal.

Can't be anything else at her age.

We'll need to call a GP.

Get her back in.

Hello?

What's this?

Just rubbish and that. I got it from
Donny's house.

For that stealing.

I thought Donny said we could take
anything we wanted.

I was going to get us some gear with
that.

You know what? I should slap your face
for you. Lewis, I done it for us.

You apologised to Donny for your
thieving.

Where are my keys?

It'll never happen again.

All she cares about is drugs.

It's still a shit setting.

Can you get us a plate of chips? I'm
starving.

Why can't you just get a job like me?

Usual? Oh, yes.

A very large one.

Large GMT, large gold watch.

Oh, miss.

Oh, hello, Maxine.

How's things?

Excellent. Have you been ill?

No.

Don't have nowhere to live, but... Well,
I know full well you have got a home,

Maxine, because your mother's been up to
the school worrying about you many

times. She's kicked me out.

I mean, if you've got any spare change,
Miss... Oh, you've not resorted to

begging, have you?

Are you stopping, are you, Miss Haydock?

Sorry, Miss.

Lewis Fleming said.

Here I got a job, Mr Budgeon.

Yeah, I forgot it was here.

You'll have to come down for some nosh
and see me in action.

Well, let's hope this is you turning
over a new leaf, Lewis.

You're very lucky you didn't end up in
jail.

Yeah, dead lucky.

Well went off on one that night.

Changed personality now, though.

Really matures you up earning your own
wages.

Anyway, see you.

Any chance of buying us a Coke?

Scram!

and I owe you a nice big drink.

Sounds great.

How you doing, Kim?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Fine. Listen, good work today with
Brett. Well done.

Would you like to come for a bite to eat
with us?

Jack, you don't need to feel sorry for
me, OK? I've got loads of work to do.

Oh, did you for tonight, eh?

Me and Davina would love to have you,
wouldn't we?

Love it.

Well, I suppose it would save me from
cooking.

Exactly. Go on, get your... There

you

go. All ready for tomorrow's match.

Can everyone just stop everything now
and take a break?

Tom, could you give me a hand with this
bookcase? I just need someone to hold

it, won't I?

Yeah, well, last job, you two. I've got
the whole weekend to sort the rest.

There you go.

Privacy. Oh, fab.

Cheers, then.

Oh, cheers.

Do you know what?

I quite enjoy myself.

Hey, um, that hand looks a bit of a
sweetie, doesn't he? Yeah, I think he's

dropped out.

Yeah, well, don't worry, I'm not going
to rugby -tackle him around the ankles

like I did with Tom.

I'm just going to be here at the door.

Go for it, girl.

Table for three.

Can I get you a drink?

Sabina?

Yeah, do you want to ask?

A white wine spritzer, please.

I am beautifully.

So, uh, beautifully, white wine spritzer
and kin.

Do you know what? I'm just going to
leave you two to it.

Don't be dumb.

No, honestly, thanks.

It's hard.

I'm not really that hungry. I'm just
going to go on.

There's bad blood between you and
Andrew, isn't there?

Well, what do you expect?

After all that backstabbing and... You
know that me and him had an agreement.

That it was best he took the job rather
than someone new.

No, Jack, look, he may have been able to
justify himself to you afterwards, but

I'm sorry, I just don't trust him.

Even though he gave up the job because
Aspinall threatened to sack you?

He didn't tell you, did he?

Can you just tell Davina that I've gone
home with a headache?

What are you doing in here?

I want to talk to you.

Sit down and have a drink.

Why would I want a drink with you?

I don't even want to live in the same
house anymore.

Brett, it's time I talked to you about
me and your mum.

Your mum and I had already said our
goodbyes to one another.

That was the way she wanted it, Brett.

The sex side of our marriage hadn't been
there for a long time, before she

became ill.

She knew about Penny. She just hoped
we'd get married for your sake. You're

even worse liar than I thought. I'm not
lying to you, son. I wish I could and

you'd buy it.

But since you won't... There's no way
mum would have told you to do that.

I was sick you could even make it up.

Well, here it is in her own handwriting.

Go on.

Read it for yourself.

She never meant it for your eyes, but if
that's what it takes to convince you

that I wasn't cheating on her.

I loved you, Mum, with all my heart.

And that's how much she loved me.

That's the truth.

And if it's too much for you to handle,
then I'm going to regret it for the rest

of my life.

Because if I lose you, as well as your
mum...

Look,

I've decided to stay out of the run of
the school from now on.

I'm just going to keep my eye on the big
picture, so...

You have to make your own mind up what
you want to do.

Dad.

I don't want to read it.

Oh, OK.

Come on, right, it's time we held a
crab.

Not yet.

Oh, for God's sake.

Oh, come on, Grantley.

It's your round.

You're meant to be cheering me up.
That's mission flaming impossible, isn't

Hey, I'm beginning to see why Rimmer
left you in the lurch now.

He won't even keep a dog to heal if you
don't give it a rest one.

Oh, no, no, hey. No, I'm sorry, I'm
drunk.

I'm tired. You can thud off, Grantley.

I'll get me own bloody cell phone.

Oh, come on. Stephanie!

I couldn't have done it without you
guys. It's just great to see you sorted,

darling. We can give you a lift, Andrew,
if you want.

No, thanks. I'll get a cab.

Just give Lorna a hand with those books.

Sure. Yeah.

See you tomorrow, then.

See you.

Thanks for everything.

See you.

Now, you little thug! Get off!

Oh, come on, Maxine!

You're crying.

Happy.

Good.

I can't believe it, Andrew.

I've got my own place.

I've got myself a team back.

You've been daring to hope I've got my
own boyfriend.
