Original subtitles

Careful, it's a little wet.

Write down.

What?

Did you have an accident?

No.

Fucking monkey cunt, nicked my bike, man.

Fucking cunt! Fucking cunt!

Here, pen.

Fancy going out?

When?

Saturday?

Erm... Yeah, right then.

Oh, don't be so enthusiastic.

1 -3.

I'm clearing Cranston Road in a minute or two.

Can you just wait?

Yeah.

Are you there, 1 -3?

Can you pick up at 12 Bellet Street, SE10, going to Charlton?

Say again?

We're going to Charlton. We've got it.

Mr. Riles?

Elephant and Carson.

I don't fucking believe it.

Listen, I've got to get the car fixed. Some bitch in the Volvo smacked me up

arse. I've got no fucking lights.

Don, I told you, no swearing over the air. What's going on?

I've got to get the car off the road.

Why? What's the damage?

He's bugging me tail lights. I ain't legal.

Is the car mobile?

Driver. Oh, yeah.

Well, just come back to base.

I can't do that, Neville.

Come back to base and get it done tomorrow.

No, I've got to do it now.

Listen, Don, don't mess me about.

I'm short of drivers.

Neville, fuck off.

No matter.

What about night?

150. Best you can do.

You wanted it in the morning, innit?

Hello, Phil.

How are you?

Smacked up the arse.

Yeah, heard it on the radio.

You leaving it here?

No. Well, I'll run you on.

Cheers, mate.

Isn't it nice?

Yeah. Feel like sunbathing.

Get me a bikini on.

Not.

I'll see you later.

Hi. Hi, Craig.

You all right?

Yeah.

Coming in for your tea, Rory, about 20 minutes.

Did he hurt you?

Nah.

It's only a ball.

What are you doing?

He's a tosser. He ain't a tosser.

He's gone now, you know. I know.

What time did you get up this morning? I don't know.

Yes, you do. No, I don't. I don't know.

You should leave him alone, Rory. He's smaller than you.

So? He's older.

Yeah, but you're bigger.

Why are you taking his side, Mum? Why are you taking his side? She's fucking

hot. I swear.

It's all right. I've got my key.

Come on!

What's she doing?

I don't know. She's probably on the toilet or something.

What's wrong with you?

What's wrong with you, you mean?

I'm all right. Yeah, I'm all right.

What have you been doing?

Nothing.

Just reading.

Alfred. All right?

Anyone okay?

Yeah.

Want a tea?

Chicken and vegetable pie.

And a biscuit.

You all right, mate?

Yeah. You got no whiplash or nothing?

She fucked up.

Is she?

To exchange insurance details with her, innit?

I pulled over.

She's got us.

That's not very nice, is it?

Fucking women.

Wouldn't be a world without them, mate.

Anyway, she might have done you a favour.

What do you mean?

Well, if it hadn't have happened...

He might have driven round the next corner and killed a little kid.

Swashbuckling it.

Fickle finger of fate.

I mean, if you knew what was going to happen to you, you'd wake up in the

morning, you'd never get out of bed.

That's your life.

The old clock ticks, the world turns around, the tide comes in, the tide goes

out.

You're born, you die, and that's it.

What shall Mrs. make at Safeway?

I don't know, I'll tell you the truth.

Well, you don't know what she earns?

Yeah, nah.

Takes the wolf from the door.

That's the bit I'll make.

I'll see you tomorrow.

See you.

What have you got there then?

It's a burger bun.

Unbubble.

They ain't gonna eat all of them.

It's alright, they're long though.

What's the expiry date?

24th of October.

That's four months away.

Yeah.

What have they got in them then?

I don't know.

Themicals.

Fits a bloke up on a Catherine Carey.

I was trying to get a refund on them and they wouldn't have it.

They gave it to me as a tip.

He was drunk.

They bought him for a barbecue and no -one turned up.

I'll have to get some burgers, then.

Yeah.

You've been up to it today, then?

He's been fighting today.

What? Fuck off, Mum.

Rory, will you stop swearing at me, please?

You've been clubbing people again.

Don't listen to her. She don't know nothing about it. Because he ain't got

nothing to do with himself.

Shut up. He was asking for it.

Moping about here all day, looking for trouble. I ain't looking for trouble. I

ain't done nothing.

When are you going to take him up the job centre?

Fuck's sake, I'll get a job when I want it. It ain't got nothing to do with you.

Just stop going on about it. Rory.

Nobody's having a go at you. I'm just trying to help you.

Fuck off.

I can't catch all this money.

38 quid.

Paying business?

Yeah. Rory, can you put your plate on the table, please? Oh, all right.

Picked up the doctor's surgery at the end of time.

Old bloke.

One of them... What's his name? Frayman.

Zimmer? Yeah.

He wanted to go to the next street.

I said, sorry, mate, I've got to charge you the minimum fare, £3 .50.

You shouldn't have charged him nothing.

No, I know.

I said, I'll call it a couple of quid.

No, you shouldn't have called it nothing.

Well, he wasn't having it.

You insisted on giving me the full fare.

You didn't have to take it, though, did you?

No, but... This is... What's the name, isn't it?

Dignity. Yeah.

No price on that when you're old.

Ron's had a bump.

And my woman ran into me.

Is she all right, though?

No.

I fed him mate, the most of it mate.

Have a day off.

He likes working.

Nice evening tonight.

Yeah.

I haven't been for a whole parade yet.

How's he going for a walk later on?

Not really.

Take that for a drink, right?

Sorry.

What?

Well, we ain't finished yet.

So?

It's pudding.

I know.

I'll do it later. Christ almighty, you've had all day.

I'll do it

later.

What? Your drink?

No.

Why not?

I had a rough day.

Have you?

What are you doing for tea, Dad?

I don't know.

Can we get a takeaway?

No.

Right, so we'll starve then, shall we?

What's in the freezer? Not a lot.

Well, what?

A sandwich meal and a raspberry ripple.

Is that all?

Yeah.

There's two chicken korma in there.

All right.

We had them last night?

No, we never.

Yes, we did.

Yeah, me and Dad.

You never had nothing?

Never fucking did.

But what are we doing then?

Oh, maybe I'll get a takeaway.

When? Later.

I ain't had nothing to eat since I got up. Who's false there?

I'm starving.

You haven't done nothing since you got up. What about her? Lazy cow.

When are you going to get a job?

She's gone.

What's the matter?

Ain't you hungry again?

No, I ain't.

What, you're on a diet?

No. You look like a skeleton.

Shut up. It's better than being fat, innit? Yeah, it is. Yeah, it is.

Exactly. So what are you complaining about?

I ain't complaining.

It's you that's complaining.

I ain't complaining. I like a bit of fat.

It keeps me warm at night.

Well, you've got to keep you warm at night.

I'll make you some mashed potato.

I want mashed potato.

Chip.

And a few chips. How many's a few?

A few.

Two. Funny. Three. Shut up.

You going out tonight?

Yeah. Where you going?

Out. Oh, I've been there. Have you? Yeah, it gets a bit packed though,

it? Yeah, it does.

What are you going out with, Scarface?

Shut up.

That's bang out of order, that is.

Do you want this duvet cover on your bed? No, I don't.

And what are you ironing that for anyway?

Nobody irons duvet covers.

I do. If someone pays for it, I'll iron anything within reason.

I put a few chips on too, wouldn't it?

Good evening, Jason.

Yeah, all right? She's ready for you.

Only took her two hours.

All right?

All right.

How are you doing?

Yeah, not bad.

Taking her out, are you?

Yeah, of course.

Where are you going, then? Down the pub.

Where are you going?

Tonight.

Alright? Alright, come on.

Alright, Donna?

Yeah? Can I come too?

No, you can't. Why not?

Back off.

I haven't had a time without me.

You will.

There's no need to argue about it! Stop!

Right, Craig?

Wait, what? What do you keep fucking looking at me for? Don't fucking look at

me, I'm fucking fly to you, you cunt!

Fucking mug!

What are you doing, Dad?

Get off.

Come on, shift over.

What are you looking for?

Money.

I'm down here.

Come and get up. I'm chilling you. There ain't no... Oh, shit. No, that's mine.

Come and kiss it. Don't mess about. No, fuck off. I'll give you double tomorrow.

No.

I ain't joking.

We can borrow it, but you owe me a quid, all right?

I'll let go.

Yeah.

I'll come in.

Yeah.

Right.

Is that any good?

Yeah, it's all right.

Got any spare change?

Yeah, I might have a bit.

It's me boss' name. Got to pay it tomorrow.

Yeah, of course.

I don't want to leave you short.

No, no, it's all right. That's all I'll give you.

Okay. Where's your purse? It's downstairs.

Your coat?

Yeah.

Thank

you

so much.

It all helps.

Are you sure?

Yeah. I'll buy you a bin of money.

That's alright, I've still got a phone over.

I'll get back to you.

Actually, they've just got half a tank.

It's Friday tomorrow.

Yeah, I know.

I've had a very good week this week.

Haven't you?

No.

Have you got any spare?

Oh, yeah, I've got a bit, but I ain't got a spare, is it?

I pay back at the weekend.

Well, don't you get up earlier in the mornings?

Drive people to work, take them to the airport.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

It's downstairs in my bag, in my bike basket.

Shall I take it out? No, I'll bring it out. All right.

I need a tenner.

Tom.

You got any change?

Yeah, I got a bit. How much, though?

That should do it.

You want me to tie that downstairs for you? No.

Biblical son of Isaac.

Five letters.

Starting with a J.

Jonah.

Oh, yeah.

No, it ain't.

Just a name.

Jacob. You sure?

Yeah.

A thousand pound prize.

Is it? Yeah.

No, I ain't sure then.

Guess another one.

No, I'm going to go to sleep now.

Do you have a minute?

That's the best there'll be.

You alright?

Sweating like a pig, aren't I?

Haven't agreed with it.

Ain't you hot then?

No. You're lucky.

You working out the weekend?

Yeah.

Just you and me then, eh?

You make sure you go to bed early tonight then, eh?

Mind your elbow, honey.

Looks good.

150.

180.

You said 150.

Well, then I'd serve it, Ryan.

Drive safe.

He was out of order yesterday, you know that?

Well out of order.

Yeah. Come over to the chip shop.

Morning.

Deptford, yeah, I know.

I like one.

Yeah.

He didn't let you down, then?

No, he didn't.

Good.

Right, then.

You've got your rent.

Okay.

Six feet.

So where's the rest?

I

don't

tell you already, I don't deal in shekels.

Go to the bank, man.

Look,

if you're going to rent my radio, show me some respect.

Give me proper money, man.

Sure. I phone you when the driver's outside your house.

Am I being abusive, though?

Wait. What are you standing on the phone for?

Why have a bad attitude, sir?

For my man.

Thank you.

What?

Nothing. Got a problem?

No, I ain't got a problem. Why should I have a problem?

Did you have a good time last night? Yeah, I did, actually.

Are you sure?

Yeah, I'm sure.

Are you? Yeah. That's good.

Yeah, it is good.

Where did he take you, then? Never your mind.

Somewhere nice, was it?

Yeah, it was, actually.

I reckon you've got a bit of a problem.

Like what?

You've got a catheter.

Just come from work, then, I go.

Yeah.

What have you been up to, then?

Not a lot, just got up.

What do you have to do, then, at work?

Cleaning.

What, you have to wipe down the old granddad's, innit?

No, it's not my job.

Who does that, then?

Carers? It's disgusting.

It goes on my job.

It's better than working here, then, isn't it? Yeah, but at least I've got a

job.

What about when they die?

I've just got to clear out their rooms.

How much do you think it's gonna be?

About 14, 15.

Okay.

Is that alright?

Yeah.

What?

You think I ain't got it?

Oh, fuck it. I mean, it's all the stuff that, I mean, it all,

you know, like, it was supposed to, and he was going to bring around it. It's

just fucking, you just get thinking too much, you know.

I mean, I don't want, you know, you seem like a nice bloke.

And, oh,

fucking wanker, you know.

Fucking, what can you...

Oh, we, um, around there, they used to, uh... Someone... See that door there? It

used to open inwards.

Yeah. I should have, uh... Should have done something else.

Did you go to bed early then?

About ten -ish.

Ten -ish?

That is early.

I'm starving.

Get off this, Bill. I ain't on a break.

I can't remember the last time I was in bed by ten.

About 9 .50 or something.

One o 'clock, me.

If I'm lucky.

Two.

Half three sometimes.

And half an hour later, pacing about.

Then I try again.

Nightmares.

Wake up sweating.

Or freezing.

Make myself a cup of tea.

Drop off in the chair.

Yeah. I'll give you years' wages for a good night's sleep.

Thanks.

I bet you'll be up late tonight, though, won't you, with your boyfriend?

Saturday night?

I ain't got a boyfriend, you know that.

What do you drink, then?

Lager?

A couple of pints will do me.

Vision chip.

Is that dinner?

What are you doing?

Does it look like I'm doing?

I don't know. That's why I'm asking you.

What, I ain't allowed to touch you no more?

I ain't saying that.

Eh? Get off!

Give me some of that.

Well, you've got your own there. I don't want one of me own!

Come on!

Don't pinch me! Don't hit me!

Right, and another thing, right?

Don't you dare phone me at half eleven at night, right?

I texted you. You never found me back. Oh, fuck that. No, I'm out with the

right? You're showing me up. You're making the right mug of me. That's your

problem, isn't it? I was going to get back to you, wasn't I? Of course you

Of course I fucking was. Just relax.

You relax.

Oh, fuck.

Right, so what are we doing then? Are we going out or what?

Staying in.

Oh, we're staying in, yeah?

That's nice, isn't it, eh?

Get off!

Fucking come here.

No, I don't wanna.

You love it, don't you, eh?

What? I swear to God, mate, you are the biggest cockteaser I've ever met in my

life. Fuck off, I ain't a cockteaser.

How'd you get that bruise?

You done it. Good.

Does it hurt, does it, eh? No.

Fucking hurts.

No.

What are you doing? Nothing.

What's the matter?

I'm all right.

What, you don't like the way I'm doing it to you?

Yeah.

Stop playing about, Donna. I ain't playing about.

Yeah, just lay down.

I don't want to lay down. Just lay the fuck down. I don't want to fucking lay

down with you.

You don't want to do it no more?

I ain't saying that. Eh?

I ain't saying that. No, no, no, just tell me you don't want to do it no more.

going? I'm getting out of here, right?

I don't need this.

Do you know what I mean?

I make the effort. I drive all the way around here, nearly two miles.

Like, we're getting it on the bed and all that, right? Sweet, lovely.

And you go all cold on me.

When you blow all hot and cold, Donna, like some fucking tap.

Do you know how that makes me feel? Eh?

Oh, terrific. Lovely. Thanks very much.

I can go somewhere else, Donna.

Right? I'll go down the pub with the boys, yeah? Right? I don't give a fuck.

Fucking end of.

Fucking little bitch.

I don't want you to go. Yeah, well, I'm going, isn't I?

I want to talk to you.

What do you want to talk about? I don't want to talk. I want to shake.

Well, I do want to talk. I want to tell you something. What do you want to tell

me, for fuck's sake?

I'm pregnant.

What?

Say that again.

I'm pregnant.

No, you ain't pregnant. You're on the pill.

I know I'm on the pill. I'm having a baby.

Bollocks.

It's yours.

Now, you're having a fucking laugh.

It's not very funny, is it?

Now, how do you know?

What? How do I know I'm pregnant? Yeah, how do you know you're pregnant?

I went up to the doctors.

When? Two weeks ago.

Two weeks? Yeah.

You fucking know for two weeks and you didn't bother to tell me?

I haven't seen you for two weeks, have I?

Bollocks! Do you see me on FaceTime?

What do I do? You're all shouting at me.

You fucking hell, Donna.

Oh, for fuck's sake.

What's that look for?

What look?

Just a fucking look.

I ain't.

You did.

You getting the hump again?

I got the hump.

Don't get stroppy with me.

I ain't getting stroppy with you. Ain't you?

No. I'm your mate.

We're all mates, aren't we?

Yeah.

They are, see?

I don't fucking know.

I hate taking no notice of you.

You've been a good friend to me in all this.

Yeah, I have.

I love you.

I love you too, Carol.

Do you? Yeah.

Yeah, it's all right, Carol.

I know.

Pray, darling.

Your turn.

Do you love me?

Why'd you stop taking the pill on purpose, didn't you? Of course I never.

exactly what you do, Donna, just to fucking keep me. Oh, you think so, do

Swear on your mum's grave!

She ain't dead yet!

Well, I mean it, right? If I ever found out you did that to me, I'll fucking

kill you, you slag! Go on, then!

Kill me!

Listen to me, right?

This doesn't have to be a big thing. It is a big thing! No, it ain't, Donna.

This happens all the time to people.

All you've got to do is you go and you get rid of it, yeah?

I ain't going to be a wanker. I'll give you a little bit of money and, you know,

I'll even come along to the place and sort it with you. It's nice to be in it.

It's done and dusted then, Donna. Just like that. It's simple. Simple.

I mean it, right?

If you keep it, I'm fucking walking.

You want to stay with me, you fucking get rid of it, right?

And that's it, is it?

What do you want to have a kid for, Donna, eh?

I ain't going to feed it. I ain't going to support it.

I don't want to be your dad, Donna, right? I don't want to do it. I ain't up

it. I don't even want to be with you.

Fuck off!

Yeah.

Yeah, I've been thinking about it for a couple of months now, thinking about

jacking it all in, to be honest with you, cos all we ever do, right, when we

together, Donna, is fucking argue, innit?

Isn't that the truth?

It's doing my fucking head in.

You know, when I went up to Newcastle with Cookie and the boys, yeah, we were

a club...

I pulled the best little bit of pussy ever in the toilet. Fuck off! Don't you

dare!

She's a lovely pair of tits, tight arse, and I tell you what, she gave me the

best fucking blowjob I've ever had in my life.

Ten times better than you could ever give it.

Oh, what, what, what? You're going to start crying now, are you?

I'm not crying. No, go on, cry. Go on, let it all out. Fuck off!

I mean it, Donna. You lumber me with a kid, you won't know what's this, yeah?

I'll make your life shit! You already do!

I'll bury you, you cunt!

Fucking mug!

Cheers, girl.

Take this off.

In a minute.

What, please?

No, take it off.

Oh, nice, innit?

Get it out the catalogue.

I've got the cardigan out of the catnip. I've got the top in the market.

They don't match. They're odd.

Sexy girl.

Don't you look sexy?

You going to have a sing?

I'll get up in a bit.

I'll go have a laugh.

Got a good voice then?

I can start better than that.

It's only part of me.

How long have you been married, Penny?

I ain't married.

Ain't you?

No, she ain't.

Why ain't you?

I don't know.

They broke me.

Have I met a daddy? No, I haven't.

What a clown.

Oh, that's mine.

I wouldn't want to get married in a church, anyway.

I got married in a church.

Lovely.

Fucking life.

My little mommy.

We are.

Ladies and gentlemen, give a big warm welcome to our next singer. Put your

together for

Maureen.

Don't know what.

What are you doing?

Waiting for someone, are you?

What's that?

What?

That.

I cut myself.

Did you? Shaving. Oh, you've had a shave, have you?

Yeah, razor.

Trying to look nice for someone, are you?

No.

Why, don't you fancy no one?

What's that?

What are you looking at?

Is that real gold?

Yeah, of course.

What?

Was that a key?

No. What was it then?

You've got bad breath, ain't you?

Hey, you never kissed no one before?

Hey?

All right.

Ow! Don't fucking touch.

I can touch you.

You can't touch me.

All right?

You like that, do you?

Six pound, please.

Fuck.

You alright?

I ain't got it, mate.

You ain't got nothing?

Look, I'm really, really, really, truly sorry, but I ain't got a bean.

Life's too short.

I'm brave.

He was asleep.

Yeah, I know I was asleep.

It's three o 'clock in the morning.

It ain't, is it? It's five past.

Oh, wow.

It's stiff.

Yeah. Oh.

Did you have a good time?

No, if you must know.

I was always better than waiting up for him.

I got your money.

You gave me a tenner.

Didn't have a bad night, as it happens.

Makes a change. And the rest came back.

Four pound twenty. No, twenty -one. No, twenty -six.

It's not there, Phil.

All right. I'll put it up on the sideboard.

Morning.

Morning. You all right?

What's the time?

It's just gone half eight. Oh.

You're a bit late this morning.

Oh. Sorry, Rachel.

No, it's all right. I'll go and do Bill first.

Give me a minute. OK.

I couldn't wear me pyjamas last night.

Like they're stark naked.

With me mother.

I know.

What about you, eh?

Won't matter.

Well, I was.

What are you sitting there for?

Forgot my key.

You've been crying?

What's the matter?

What's that on your face?

Someone hit you?

Donna?

Put the kettle on.

Now, what's going on?

Eh?

Has he hit you?

He has, hasn't he?

Donna? We had a fight.

What, a real fight or a pretend fight?

Don't funny.

I ain't joking, he's a big bloke.

You're only a little skinny thing.

I ain't skinny.

Who does he think he is, a blatant... Bully.

What'd he hit you for, anyway?

I pushed him.

You pushed him so he hit you?

Yeah. Nice.

Better not show his face round here again. Ain't none of your business.

It is my business.

That ain't. I knew he was no good.

You never give him a chance.

Never give him a chance?

You never gave yourself a chance?

You've only known him a couple of months. Yeah.

And how long did you know my dad, then?

I don't know.

About five minutes. Yeah, so shut up.

Do you love him?

I don't want you to see him no more. He's trouble.

I ain't as easy as that.

What's that supposed to mean?

Nothing.

Anyway, leave me alone. I can deal with it myself.

You ain't pregnant, are you?

Oh, Donna.

I thought you was on the pill. I am on the pill.

Well, don't you take it no more? Yeah.

What, weekends only?

You been to the doctors?

Yeah. How far gone are you?

Two months.

Two months?

You tell him you're pregnant, so he hits you? It weren't like that. No?

Well, what was it like then?

Dunno.

I thought you had more sense, Donna. Fuck off!

Oh, don't get the ump, you silly cow.

Has your face hurt?

Yeah.

I'll make you a cup of tea.

Want some sugar?

Yeah

I've got to go.

Bye.

That was it.

Rory. What?

Don't even talk like that. Fuck off.

Rory, will you stop being rude to me, please?

Fuck. Hey, what is your problem?

I only said I didn't like my dinner. I can't do nothing around here without you

having a go at me.

You do my fucking head and why don't you fuck off?

What do you want? Donna there, please. No, she ain't. I know she's fucking mad.

All right, Mum, I'll sort it. All right.

Right, so what's going on? You ever touch my daughter again, I'll phone the

police. Fuck off.

Who are you talking to? Yeah, well, I ain't talking to you.

Isn't it, Mum?

No, I'll bleed and won't. Right, just keep out of it, right, because it's got

fuck all to do with you. Ain't it? Look what you've done to her face.

Well, she's fucking asking for it, ain't she? You coward. Fuck off.

She's coming round my house, right, threatening to tell me Mum's something.

Tell your Mum what? That she's pregnant.

What?

What did you tell her for, eh? Because she's my mum. Get out of my house. Get

your fucking hands off me.

Don't touch her.

Fuck you.

I don't even want to be here.

What are you doing here, then?

She texts me, right? Tell me, come over here, so here I am.

Do you text him? Yeah.

So what's this big thing, Donna, you've got to tell me, eh? What's the great

secret?

She ain't got nothing to say to you.

Typical Donna, innit, eh? I tell you what, you're twisted in the edge. You're

fucking mental. You leave her alone. I tell you what, she's the worst fucking

shag I've had in my life. Yeah?

Yeah?

I had you in your bed and all you... Bloody

hell, Donna.

Newton, I'll pick him.

Stop it then, Asher. Oh, fuck off.

We're going.

I'm fucking getting out of here, aren't I?

How are you feeling?

I'm all right.

You're better off without him, you know. I know.

Bastard.

Can I keep the baby?

I don't know.

What, you want to have an abortion?

No.

Want something to eat?

You're eating for two now, you know. Shut up.

I'll make you two chips. Ho, ho.

Suit yourself.

When's your first hospital appointment?

I don't know.

Do you want me to come with you?

No fun going on your own.

Oh, no.

You sit this off. All right, easy, easy.

What about Donna?

Fine. What are you fucking thinking about her for? I'm thinking about her.

on. No, what do you say it for, then?

She's going to be pissed off, ain't she? Look, right, I'm fucking telling you,

right? Don't know. Oi, don't mention her name again, yeah? Why not?

Oh, fucking bollocks, right? I'm serious. Get out the fucking car, yeah?

fucking drive home and leave you here. Is that what you fucking want?

Fucking hell. No.

You're a fucking nightmare, aren't you?

Yeah.

I was married once, you know.

Was you?

Yeah.

Four months.

And she was a nurse.

What are you doing after work? Do you want to go for a stroll in the park?

Hey.

We could go back to my flat.

It's nice and cool up there. Only gets the sun in the mornings.

See you on the bed.

Watch a video.

What do you think? Eh?

What's that?

Have I said something?

Eh?

Rachel, only got a moment. You couldn't have a look in Bertha's room. She's in

the lounge now. I mean, she's managed to do a bit of a number twos on the carpet

again. I cleaned most of it up. It just needs a bit of a mop and that. All

right.

Alright. You're on your own, aren't you?

So?

You know the centre of London, the West End?

Yeah. You have been there?

Oh, yeah.

Ah, bon.

It will be much traffic.

You might be lucky.

Have you got an appointment?

Oui, oui, I must go to the opera, don Giovanni.

It will take how long?

It's unpredictable, isn't it?

You should be all right.

Hello, Maureen.

I bought you a little shirt. Oh, right.

I thought you were coming over to see.

No.

Right. Do you want the money now?

Yeah. You ain't free.

I do not like this tunnel.

Why you are not tell me?

We must make the tunnel. Do you wish another route?

You say nothing.

You're claustrophobic.

You must tell to the passenger.

Excusez -moi, madame. We must make the tunnel. It is okay?

C 'est pas compliqué, quand même.

Oh, we're stuck on it now, I'm afraid.

Evidemment, we're stuck on it.

I walked through here when I was a boy once.

South to north.

Me and my best mate.

My face turned completely black.

He was already black.

How did you get on with the, what's it, the Channel Tunnel?

With the chain, it is completely different.

You see nothing.

Discompensation is very boring for me.

Fair enough.

You are married?

Yeah.

With the children?

Yeah, I've got two.

A girl and a boy.

Oh. Well, that's great.

an old people's home.

I'm proud of her.

You're a very lucky man.

We're all going to die one day.

Was it a bargain?

Of course.

It is for my client in New York.

And your son?

He work with you in the taxi?

No, he don't do nothing.

Beg your pardon?

How he don't do nothing? He does a lot of nothing.

Huh? Mind you, if eating was an Olympic event, he'd be the world champion by

now.

It is a joke.

It is very funny.

He is fat like you?

Yeah. He's a big boy, yeah.

I found an ambulance.

What happened?

Mum! Not the cat.

He's had an outbreak.

Fuck!

Get out the fucking way!

Come on.

Ambulance. Fuck me like.

Hello, I am there on the rivalry.

I am very happy.

I am dressed very nice. I am thinking it is good. I will make the 25th birthday

with my son.

It will be good. We will make a good relationship.

8 o 'clock, he is not there.

8 .30,

9 o 'clock, les garçons are looking at me. I am ashamed.

Half past nine, he arrived with the two girls with the red plastic dress like

this. He said, Mama, I have already eaten.

We go now to the casino?

Shame. We are nearly there.

About five minutes.

What did your husband say? My husband?

He don't say nothing. He's in Algeria.

We are divorced.

Yeah, he's breathing.

Well, I don't know. If he's breathing, he's got pulse, hasn't he?

I ain't with him. I ain't there.

I'm up here. He's down there.

You are caring for your wife?

Pardon?

Do you love your wife, though?

Funny, isn't it?

What's the name?

Love.

It's like a dripping tap.

Bucket's either half full or it's half empty.

If you're not together, you're alone.

Or born alone.

You're not alone.

Nothing you can do about it.

You are right, it is fucking lonely.

Mom!

What?

What the fuck's that, Mom?

What's this place you're disgusting?

I'll get the number.

What? Yeah,

got it.

What is your name?

Phil. Phil?

Yeah. I am Cecile.

Bon.

Thank you.

Okay,

Rory, you're in good hands now, okay?

Dad ate a call. Diana speaking.

How can I help?

Hello, it's Penny.

It's Phil's Penny. Do you know where he is?

No. Who's that?

Penny, Phil's wife.

Give me the phone.

Hi, Penny, it's Neville. What's up?

I can't get hold of Phil.

Oh, no.

Yeah, and he's switched off his phone. I don't know what he's playing at.

Yeah, well, can you send us a taxi up at Safeways? I've got to get down to the

hospital. My son's been taken in.

No problem.

Yeah, straight away.

I'm waiting outside the front entrance.

Yeah, you just wait there, yeah? I'll get someone out to you.

Yeah, sure.

She's at Safeways. Put a call out.

Can anyone go Safeways?

Is there anyone free for Safeways?

2 -7.

2 -7, can you pick up Penny, Phil's wife?

She can't do that.

She's got to go to hospital.

Is she all right?

Life is done.

There's something wrong with the son.

I'm your wife.

Can I go home?

Yeah, but I'm docking your wages.

I'm telling Mummy.

Oh, sorry.

Sorry, I nearly got in the back there. I don't know what I'm doing. I can't

think straight.

Rory, we're going to set you up, OK?

After three. One, two, three, up.

Now then, let's have a deep breath, please, Rory.

Good. And another one.

Excellent. Okay. My bag.

Wicked. And another.

Magic. And one more.

Sweet as a nut. Normal breathing now.

So you're not quite sure if you're a smoker then, Rory.

It's all right. I won't tell your mum.

What did you have for breakfast this morning, Rory?

Fried egg sandwich.

Ooh, fried egg sandwich.

Very tasty.

Of course, you can have an heart attack without knowing about it. And you?

Yeah, you just don't feel very well.

Cross as an arsehole was on the road.

Right Rory, want another drink?

to coming out of him all over.

What are you doing here, Maureen?

I've come with him in the ambulance.

Oh, did you?

What happened, Maureen?

He had pains in the chest.

as I thought.

Good job Samantha was in. Yeah.

Well, thanks anyway, Maureen.

It's all right.

I'm starving.

I was just going to make myself a bit of cheese on toast.

Are you hungry?

No.

When do you feel Rachel coming up?

Rachel ain't at home. She's probably gone up the market with something. I'll

and give her another ring in a minute.

you know

Rach, I'm just trying to get on with your dad. I don't know what's happened

you.

Did you get back all of it?

Yeah.

Is it in here?

Sorry. Here you go.

My sister.

Hi.

Rory.

Rachel's come to see you.

Rory's mum?

Yeah. Hi, I'm Simon Griffiths. I'm the doctor. I examined Rory before tea.

And I bet you're Rory's sister.

Yeah.

Hi. Hello, Rory.

So, why don't we have a sit -down and we can have a bit of a chat, OK?

Make yourselves at home. Get comfy.

Is he going to be all right? Yeah, he's going to be fine.

We've run some tests, X -ray, checked his blood, etc.

And he had a heart attack?

Well, yes and no.

What do you mean?

He's had a kind of heart attack.

You see, in your heart, you've got four chambers divided by a big wall of

muscle, OK?

And Rory's got a problem with this muscle.

Well, he ain't never had nothing like that before.

Well, that's the thing, you see. He's probably had it since he was a baby, but

it's only just come to light.

I can't believe all this.

Yeah, I know.

We think that's what must be wrong with Rory, but the consultant's got to have a

look at him tomorrow.

What's going to happen?

Well, good news is he should be home within a week.

But the thing with this condition is that it won't just go away and we can't

actually cure it as such.

Can't you?

No, afraid not. We're going to have to put Rory on medication.

How long for?

Probably for the rest of his life. Oh, no, that doesn't seem right.

Not to worry. Lots of people take pills every day of their lives and they're

none the worse for it.

Rory will just pop in, see a cardiologist every six months and

be cool.

He's through the worst of it now.

He's only little.

He's been a good lad. Yeah, he is a good lad.

Does he smoke?

No.

Yeah, he does a bit.

Fuck off.

Rory. Sorry, Doctor.

Rory.

Well, once Rory's decided whether he smokes or not, then he can give it up.

The same goes for burgers and chips and fry -ups and crisps. All that crap, eh,

Rory? The sooner you get rid of them, the better it'll be for you.

Hello? Phil, it's me.

Bloody hell, have you been?

What's up?

I've been trying to get hold of you since five o 'clock this afternoon. Your

phone's off, your radio's off, Neville can't get hold of you, nobody can get

hold of you. What's going on? Where are you?

I'm on the A2.

Phil, he's had a heart attack.

Phil!

What?

We're up at the hospital, South London General.

What do you mean, heart attack?

What do you mean, what do I mean, heart attack?

Is he all right?

No, he ain't all right.

He ain't dead, is he?

Of course he ain't dead. Where are you?

Well, I was just coming up that big Chinese supermarket.

You know the one on the roundabout down by the...

It's funny, I'm starving, but I can't eat this.

I've got a bleating headache.

Do you want a bit? No, Tara.

Is he going to be all right?

Yeah, he's in good hands.

You that baby?

Yeah.

Look at you.

Come here.

Shift up.

You'll be all right.

What if it's a boy?

Just forget about it.

How can I forget about it?

Fucking kill him. Yeah.

You gonna find a place, Dad?

No.

Why not?

I'll do it in the morning.

Do it now.

No.

I'll find him. Leave it.

Give us that bit of paper.

Dead. What?

That bloke's going to get away with it, isn't he?

None of your fucking business.

You've phoned Penny yet?

You ain't, have you?

You don't give a shit, do you?

You're useless.

You're both fucking useless.

I'm going out.

What I

love

you know, I love you. I don't even like you

Get out things, we need to go to hospital, alright?

It's not funny.

It's not funny!

Excuse me.

Can I help you?

That's my boy.

Can you tell me his name, please?

Rory Bassett.

OK, Mr Bassett, in you go.

Right. It's only two by bedside.

OK.

Sorry.

Because I'm your lad, too, by the bed.

Yeah.

I'll wait outside, then.

Don't be stupid. Sonny just got here.

Oh, no, it's all right.

Get yourself a cup of tea.

I'll just wait outside.

Has he had an operation?

No.

I got lost downstairs.

A bloke said, go upstairs. Yeah, all right. So you're here now, aren't you?

What happened?

Boy, Matt.

Maureen was with him when I come up here.

He's got to take pills for the rest of his life.

You never know what's going to happen, do you?

This was my fight accompli.

He might win the lottery tomorrow.

It's a kismet, isn't it?

What are you talking about?

Where have you been?

Out and about, you know.

Where?

In a long run, Dan.

You're supposed to be a taxi, Phil.

What are you doing with your radio switched off and your mobile? What's the

point?

It's pathetic.

Leave it out, Mum.

Stop having a go at him.

Corey.

I ain't having a go at him.

It's all right.

All right, mate.

You've been in the war, haven't you?

Do you want to go on holiday?

We'll all go away.

If it's better.

Yeah? The four of us?

Yeah?

Disney World?

What?

It is past ten o 'clock.

They're leaving.

I know, but the night staff will take good care of him.

Okay.

Rory.

I've got to go home, Mum.

Be back in the morning.

All right.

All right, mate.

I've got to go home now.

It's great being here, really.

You'll be alright.

Sorry. Yeah.

Do you want one?

I've got chocolate.

Oh, dear.

I wish I could have stayed the night up there with him.

Yeah.

Well, they'd have drugged him up, knocked him out till morning.

Wouldn't they, Rach?

Yeah.

First thing, then.

Run you up there. No, you don't have to do that. No, it's all right. I won't

hang about.

I'll come in with you, say hello, make sure he's all right, and then get

straight on the radio.

Start work as soon as I can.

He'll be surprised, won't he, Neville?

But what's the name?

Unpredictable, isn't he? He might not have me.

There's a lot of blokes who work mornings regular.

I might pick up some airport runs.

If he says no, I'll try somewhere else. I don't care. I don't want to talk about

it now, Phil.

No, I mean it.

I'm going to do it.

I'm determined to do it.

I've got to get started, get saving.

It shouldn't take long.

I work seven days a week.

Start early, finish late, do nights, weekends.

Phil! Rory is in hospital.

Yeah.

Sorry.

But I made him a promise.

I'm going to keep it.

What promise?

About going on holiday.

Phil. They do these deals, don't they?

Disney World. These two nurses I picked up was telling me about it. They do

these all -in packages.

What's the name?

Fly Drive.

Florida, isn't it? Phil, I...

going on holiday it's about getting by week in week out it ain't a game

just because you've suddenly got some bee in your bonnet about getting up in

mornings and going to work when you've been lying in bed for years till god

knows what time and we're all supposed to be grateful because you decided to do

what normal people do i get up in the mornings rachel gets up in the mornings

Doctor was asking about you.

About your heart and stuff, your family.

If anyone in your family's had a heart attack.

It was your Uncle Dougie, weren't there?

My nan had one and all.

Oh, yeah.

My mum's mum. I forgot about that.

Dad's oldest brother.

What's his name?

In Australia.

There you are, then.

It's all on your side, isn't it? Ain't none on mine.

You going to work in the morning, Rach?

Don't have to. You can phone in.

I don't know.

I ain't going.

If you do, when you're done, kiss the bell on me mobile.

Run me up to the hospital, see your brother, yeah?

Oh, you have it switched on, then, will you?

Not like today. Your son's in hospital having a heart attack and we can't get

hold of you. They can get hold of me. They know where I am in the emergency,

we can't get hold of his dad nowhere.

Where was it, anyway?

What have you been doing all day?

I switched it off.

Yeah, I know you switched it off. Why did you switch it off?

for working for five minutes, so you switched it off?

What can I switch off when I've had enough?

Had enough of getting up every morning, going to work, doing the shopping,

coming home, cooking the tea, cleaning the house, doing the ironing, making

everyone's got clean clothes on their back.

What can I switch off when I've had enough?

Had enough of what, anyway?

Everything.

What? What everything?

do with anything.

It's got to do with everything.

Rory has had heart attack.

You won't love me for years.

You don't like me.

You don't respect me.

He's talking to me like I'm a piece of shit.

I don't. You do.

I don't, Phil. I don't talk to you like you're a piece of shit.

You do, Pen. You don't know you're doing it, but you do.

That's...

me no more.

Do you?

Do you love me?

I've got to know.

What?

You don't love me?

No more.

I might as well go.

Go? Where are you going to go?

I don't know.

If I'm making you unhappy, you know what I mean?

I ain't got no skills.

I don't earn enough money.

I know I'm a disappointment to you. I know I get on your nerves.

It's like... like something's died.

I feel like an old tree that ain't got no water.

When we first met, I couldn't believe it.

Pretty girl like you, going with a fat bloke like me.

People were looking at us.

I felt like the bee's knees.

We ain't got much.

We got each other.

That's enough, but if you don't want me, we ain't got nothing.

We ain't... Affirmatively.

I'm sorry.

I know it ain't very helpful.

I'm sorry, Annette.

I couldn't hold it in.

I don't talk to you like that, Phil.

That's what it feels like.

Do you want a tissue? I've got some.

Yeah.

Shirts are wet.

Rachel?

You do talk to him like that.

Do I?

Sometimes.

Is she all right?

Yeah.

What did she say?

She's just a bit upset, that's all.

Do you want a bit?

Yeah.

You used to make me laugh.

Yeah.

Do you

want

to go to bed?

Must be up here.

Yeah.

That's it.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah, there he is. There he is. Yeah, it's nice by the window.

All right.

All right.

Cheers.

He looks better, doesn't he? He's got a bit of colour in his cheeks.

Yeah.

How did I get you up here?

I came up in a wheelchair.

Did you?

Yeah. I got you some bananas, mate.

Cheers.

Here, I've got your thumb in your nose.

Yeah, what is it?

Open it.

What is it, a towel?

No, it's a dressing gown.

Dressing gown?

What do I need a dressing gown for?

Yeah, for when you go toilet and that.

All right, we'll stick it in there.

What's this, slippers?

Yeah. Cheers.

You're moccasins, aren't I? Yeah, a nice one.

That's what you're at.

You had something to eat?

Yeah, I had fish.

Did you?

Nah. Yeah?

What, in batter?

No, with, like, sauce on the top. Like, cheese.

God, blimey.

Did you try it?

Yeah. Well, I tried it down, did I?

No, it was nice. I had that and mash and, like, green cauliflower stuff.

Oh, yeah, broccoli.

I don't know. I ate it all. That's good.

Blimey.

You all right?

Yeah.

She ain't been back to work yet.

Yeah, I'm going to go back tomorrow.

Why ain't you been in?

Well, I ain't been sleeping.

Why ain't you?

She's been worried.

What about?

About you, we all have.

Shut up, I'm all right.

Yeah, I know.

I've got a bit of fluff on you.

Oh.

Did an airport this morning?

Yeah, five o 'clock.

Bloody hell.

Yeah. He took his family to Gatwick.

They'd gone to, what's the name?

Cyprus.

There's a bloke, two little boys, an old woman.

Yeah. He was going along, and the kids started giggling, yeah?

And they look at this one and says, Dad, she's farted.

Don't make him laugh.

Are you hurting?

He's all right.

Yeah, it's like he turns around, he starts to come to me and says, don't be

rude, but your grandma is swearing in Greek.

I open the window, it's nice.

And all sorts in that car.

You want to be careful, you.

Don't talk to anyone, innit?
