Oh, God, Neil, I'll be off in two minutes.
Can you leave it on the road? 'I need to get tools out.
'Hurry up. There's a pint with my name on it.'
Mum, could you give me and Jess a lift to her house?
Ollie, you remember where I'm going today, don't you?
Oh. Yeah.
It's like a minute out of your way. Fine.
Thanks, Mum. Jess, we're going.
Have you done your homework? Does it look like my homework?
No. I was being annoying.
Get that French done by the time I'm back.
I hope it goes all right. Thanks, sweetheart.

Why? Where you going? I'm going to see Ally.
I've got to meet Dave. Oh, yeah. Yeah, sorry.
Just make sure Frankie does her French homework

Si, senora. That's Spanish.
Arrivederci. Where you off?
Jess's. Hiya, Neil.
You all right?
Thanks for this, Beth. No problem. What's in the bag?
Footy boots. We might be going to the common to meet the others.
Beth, has Ollie mentioned about Mum's birthday party?
Oh, yeah, sorry. I'll chat to Neil.
It's been a bit of a funny time.
It's Saturday, isn't it? Yeah. It's at our place.
No big deal, but Mum and Dad would love to meet you.
Well, I'll definitely try and come, even if it's just for one or two.

It could not be. It could just be bruising.
I'm a doctor.
Right, well, it probably is, then.
OK, I can take you to the hospital.
Right, this might fit in the back, actually.
No, I don't think it will.

The hazards of being a cyclist.
You'd be surprised how many appalling drivers there are.
It was Ollie's fault!
He left his trainers in the back,
and then he calls me and asks me to take them,
and I swing round, and there you are.
There I am. Mm.
Well, these are not the circumstances I would have chosen,
but, erm... hello! Hello.
Look, I'm... I'm really sorry,
but when we collided, I was on my way to meet someone.
Do you mind if I just make a quick call, tell them I'll be late?
Yeah, no, of course.
Beth, if you need to go somewhere or do something...
No, I am taking you to the hospital, and I'm gonna wait with you,
and then I'll drive you home.
Shall I do that? You can... Road?
What's...? Well, who is it?
It's... Dickhead Dave.
Dickhead Dave? Yeah.
OK. Well, there's Cockhead Colin.

How are you doing, pain-wise? Yeah, it's great, thanks (!)
No, it's, erm... It's pretty bad.

Yeah, that's what they say. Yeah, firming it.
Go, Beth, honestly. I don't know how long it's gonna be.
But I feel responsible. Well, you are.
They're cute together, aren't they? Ollie and Jess?
They've been bending your ear about this Blackpool trip?
Blackpool? Ooh, I guess not.
No, go on. Blackpool. What? No, I'm saying nothing.
No, just tell me what it is. You can't do that face and not tell me.
Tell me! I'm saying nothing.
Hannah will know about that.
I'll be the last to find out. You know what it's like.

Mmm!
Well, I guess I should, erm...
Hm.

Sorry about that.
Look, I know this is a bit awkward.
You're the executor of her will.
I just want to say that I-I don't want anything.
Just the house.
The house?
Come on, Beth.
I practically gave her that house in the separation,
which was fine when she was alive, but now she's dead.
Bye, Dave.
The mortgage isn't even paid off. What are you gonna do with it?
SHE SIGHS Hey. Look.
I think she wanted me to have it.
Sure, that's why she went to the trouble of changing her will
cos she was still so fond of you (!)
Don't you think I don't feel the blame?
I leave her after 15 years of marriage,
and then a few months later, she drops dead.
People are gonna look at me and go, "He did that to her."
Fuck off, Dave.
Urgh!

Nah, there's no need.
Jess's mum's gone. She'll be already there.
Oh, right, OK. Well, never mind. 'Mad you knocked over her dad.'
'Yeah, isn't it?' Did you like him?
Yeah. Yeah, I did.
I really liked him.
Oh, Tom...
That bike. It scares the life out of me.
Three accidents in 12 years? Statistically, that is very safe.
Well, I will quote that stat at your funeral.
Hey, what was Ollie's mum like?
Yeah, she's nice. Nice?
What was she - loud or quiet?
Was she funny? Serious? I've no idea.
You have an opinion on everyone, Tom.
I have an opinion on her driving.
Is she attractive?
Yeah. HANNAH SCOFFS
I mean, in that obvious kind of way, you know.
They still haven't said if they're coming to my birthday party.
Well, does it matter? Well, it's courtesy, isn't it?
I mean, Ollie is a lovely lad, but...
I get the impression they're pretty chaotic.
Yeah.
How was it - crematorium?
Chapel of rest, that's what they call it.
Basically just a back room
with some candles and a picture of Jesus in it.
Looked like it should have had a kettle and some brooms.
NEIL SCOFFS
She didn't look like herself.
But then I suppose she wouldn't, would she?
She had all these... plans, you know.
It's not been the best time for us, has it?
With this.
And all my shit.

'That's it. We're getting up nice and high.
'Hi there. We just had our first class.
'We could just be doing this at home, OK?
'Come to our class on a Wednesday! Say hi, guys!'
HANNAH: Tom? Yeah?
Are you listening to music? No, it's...
Yeah, I mean, no, it's a silly...

Boys, walk, please. Do not run.
Morning, Bernard. It's "sir".
Sorry, Bernard. THEY LAUGH
If eyes could kill. THEY LAUGH
So, how was the big date? Oh, terrible.
Honestly, Beth, he was sending me all these filthy messages online,
and then when we finally meet up, he's wearing a tank top and brogues.
Oh, Mrs Brookes. Can I have a word?
Sure. It's Oliver.
I need you to speak to him. He keeps calling me Bernard.
Right. You see, I let it go at first,
but now others have started doing it.
I was in the Co-op the other day, and two Year 10s said it.
Do your tie up, please. Right. Well, that... that sounds...
You see, we don't have names, Mrs Brookes.
We are Sir or Miss, and that is right and proper.
It's the way it is.
I'll have a word with him. Thank you.
THEY SNICKER Oh, and, erm...
Oh, I see. Funny, is it? No, not funny at all.
You'd think you'd want your son on the straight and narrow
with your husband facing jail.
WHISPERS: How'd you...? You what?
You heard. How do you know that?
Remove your hands, Mrs Brookes.
Don't you dare mention that in this school. I said remove your hand.
Keep your nose out of my business.
If Oliver uses my name again,
then I will be going to the head about his suspension, OK? Thank you.
Mr Brookes? Yeah.
I've had a look online, and...
ABH doesn't always get a prison sentence, does it, so...?
It doesn't, but it can do.
And much of what determines that is down to intention.
Now, there are several defences available,
but the most compelling is the use of reasonable force
to defend yourself.
Problem for us is making the case that what you did was reasonable.
SHE MOUTHS
KNOCK ON DOOR, HE MOUTHS
Yeah, hold on a second, please.

I was on lunch, so I just thought I'd drop it round.
You didn't have to do that.
You could've given it to Ollie to drop back.
Oh, erm...
Well, I was just still feeling so bad, you know, so...
How...? How is your hand?
Oh, yeah, it's better than I thought.
It's a hairline fracture.
Told you it weren't broken. LAUGHING: Yeah. You did.
Thank you. That's sweet of you to come and check on me.

Do you remember when we used to talk?

When you were little, you'd ask me all these questions, like...
..."Why do camels have humps?" And "What are rainbows for?"
And I'd try and answer, and you'd say,
"But why, Mummy? Why?"

"Cool." That can't be right. CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY
Come and look. All right.
After you.
DOOR SHUTS Oh, wow.
Jess was obsessed with stars and space when she was little.
She'd actually make me...
lie on the trampoline in the garden almost every night.
She'd drag me out there, and we'd lie there for hours,
looking at the...
looking at the sky in the hope we'd see a shooting star.
So I thought I'd buy her a second-hand telescope one birthday
and build this place.
Can I...? Of course.
It's quite clear, so you should probably...
You should be able to see something.
If you look through... yeah, that one.
And then it should be pointing in the right direction. Like that?
Oh, yeah. Yeah?
God, it makes you feel so small, doesn't it?
Just... insignificant.
I'm sorry about your friend.
Ally. Ollie... Ollie mentioned it to me.
What was she like?
It's awful, losing a friend.
It's like losing a sibling, but no-one treats it like that.
You're not... allowed the same grief.
I don't think I realised how much I'd come to depend on her.
It was like she...
...she filled something.
And after she split up with Dave...
Dickhead Dave? THEY CHUCKLE
It was like she got her old self back.
And she was the fun Ally and the... carefree Ally.
She had this lightness again, and...
...I really envied her.
God, it's cruel, isn't it?
You get all that back, and then... you just drop down dead.

As you all know, Hannah's had a particularly hard couple of years.
And so this isn't just a birthday celebration.
This is a celebration of love and life and friendship.

You've made us look like right dicks.
'Jess said that Beth wasn't feeling well.'
That's why she left early. Didn't want to make a fuss.
Hmm. Asked for our numbers, apparently.
Wants to apologise. Makes sense.
What did you think of them? Oh, stop.
Come on! I knew you'd say that. They're fine.
I really don't think we're gonna be
joint holidaying with them any time soon, do you?
Of course we're not gonna be going on holiday with them.
I thought you were great today.
Everyone kept telling me how well you looked. Mm.
Like you were you again.
Not quite, but... Mm.
Oh...
Thank you for a perfect day. Mm-hm. Thank you.
Sorry.
Do you ever worry that our best days are behind us?
Like, the chaos that we had with our mates,
or even when the kids were young, not going out, but...
...we had them, so that was enough.
Would it help if I hired a cocktail waiter?
THEY CHUCKLE SOFTLY

Just get through the funeral, and...
you'll be all right after that.
We met at college and became friends almost on sight.
She used to have this amazing hair, often with streaks of blue in it.
'She was just different from everyone else.'
On top of that, she was studying psychology,
and she used to quote these psychological theories at me.
She had a crush on our lecturer.
LAUGHTER
And when I said how ridiculous that was,
she said, "Beth...
"..attraction plus obstacle equals excitement."
LAUGHTER
'I was the more cautious of us back then.'
And so I asked, "What happens if the obstacle's too big?"
And she just smiled and said...

Train's in three minutes.
Did you call the school? Yeah.

Ollie! Ally wouldn't mind.
We're going to Blackpool! Come on, come on!
Yeah. Have you finished that?

PHONE BUZZES
Listen, erm... I don't want to leave you,

? Passing seasons all but fade away
? Into misty clouds of autumn grey

? Because time will pass you
? Right on by
? Time, time is gonna pass you... ?
