Long time.

I know.

Um...do you want to tell me
what all this is about?

I thought you said
it was going to be just me.

Are you not going to
even say hello to me?

CAR DRAWS UP

Is that...?

Look, please, come on. Let's just
give this a chance. All right?

This had better be good.

MOBILE PHONE RINGS

Hi.

Oh, you know. It never stops.

No, of course I haven't forgotten.

OK. Yeah. I'll see you in a bit.

Hello!

Hiya.

All right, Katie? Hi.

Did you get it?

# Ta-da! #

What would we do without you?

Happy birthday, Elsa!

Happy birthday, my darling!

Do you want to blow them out?

Yes!

You can all have one cupcake.

Here in the jungle, we've got the
King of the Jungle, and he's asleep.

HE SNORES

I can hear something...

HIGH-PITCHED: Nibble, nibble, nibble!
I think it's a rat.

RAT VOICE: I'm here today
in the jungle...

Don't.

What?

I know what you're doing.

What? He's just a photographer.

Somebody I work with.

Mm-hm. He's my gift to Elsa.

And to you, if you like.

(Stop.)
OK, I won't mention it again.

So, any word from Daddy?

Er, yeah,
he should be in a cab about now.

What do you mean?
Er, flying birthday visit.

Oh. Well, then, no wonder.
No wonder what?

No wonder Jeff fails to register
even a tremor of desire.

Ah...

The...

Ugh!
Do you really think Matthew Rees
is going to snog you wearing this?!

Well, at least Ben Patterson
won't be able to put his hand up
your skirt again.

Hey! Come on!

Cathy, I will not have
that kind of...
GIRLS SHRIEK

Oh, God, give me strength!
ROW CONTINUES

That, or a drink.

Is everything OK?

HE SIGHS

You know, I have absolutely no idea
what's acceptable or not.

Aw! And all this talk
of boys and bras...

I don't know if I should say more,
or less, or be angry, or...

I mean, I know she doesn't
want it to be like this, but...

I just wish, occasionally,

their mother could be here
to deal with this stuff.

I miss her, I suppose.

She hasn't gone anywhere, Richard.

Hasn't she?

Sorry. Speaking out of turn.

It's OK.

Nothing worse than a whingeing,
unemployed accountant.

I promise never to moan
in public again.

Oh...
SHE LAUGHS

You won't tell Trudi about it,
will you?

No. Of course I won't.

OK, so you want five dozen cupcakes.

BELL RINGS
Right.

INAUDIBLE

Oh!

Er, look, I'm really sorry,
the bank manager's come.

I've got to go, sorry.

Yeah, exactly. Steph...

I'll call you back, yeah? Yeah.

Steph, what is it you think
I'm paying you for?

Being gorgeous.

Never mind. Um, the man ringing
the doorbell wants to lend us money,

so if you could see your way
to letting him in and perhaps

making him a cup of coffee...
and bring him to my office.

Hello, is it Mr Jenkins?
Hi, come in.

Sorry about that, it's been mad
on the phones this morning.

Mr Jenkins, Trudi Malloy.

Thank you, Steph.

Mr Jenkins.

A small inducement
for our 200 grand.

Right, Siobhan, that's me done.

Oh, hang on. Just let me, er...
Oh, no, no, no.

It's, er, it's on the house.

You know she's hoping
you'll ask me out?

But I'd rather you didn't.
Oh, well, then, I won't.

Mmm.
But if you change your mind...

You'll be the first person
she tells.

Hey-hey!

How was it?

What, the party or Elsa?

Hmm...both.

Well, the party was lovely,

and Elsa was...

absolutely perfect.

And you?
Internet porn and Cash In The Attic?

How dare you?!
I've barely stopped all day.

You're a Trojan. I know.

But now it's playtime.

You OK?

Mmm. Of course.

CAR DRAWS UP OUTSIDE

That's him.

Darling, I'm going to go out
and say hello, OK?

Hello. Hello, you.

Where is she?

Come on.

Where is she?

There she is!

Hello, my little beauty!

Hello. Aren't you beautiful?
Aren't you beautiful?

SHE GRIZZLES
Oh, love.

Oh, Dom, she's only three.
Sorry.

She hardly ever sees you.
All right, bonnie.

It's all right, sweet pea.

I'll put her to bed. OK.

Come on, love, it's been a big day.

There's a good girl.
ELSA CRIES

Wednesday, right?

Two years of all this,
and it comes down to me and Conor.

One hour, one meeting, one deal.

Baby, you've worked so hard.

I couldn't do it without you, Jess.
Aw...

What you've done for me....
Hey.

SHE SIGHS

Still no word from Dan?

How long's that?

Three months and two weeks
since I got back from Australia.

Long enough to know
that he won't be changing his mind.

Then I'm sorry.
DOOR OPENS

Hello!

Hey! Hi.

I am so, so sorry.
The bank manager, and
then another order came in, and...

It's fine.

Hi. Hi.

You OK? Yes. I'm fine.

But really, I should be going,
and let you two have your evening.

Oh, no. Katie, don't be silly.

Look, I've got two hours of Cathy's
geography to get through,
in any case.

See? Abandoned.
No, really. I'd like to get home.

Then at least let Richard drive you.

Yeah, sure. OK.

See you.

Dom, do you want a top-up?

Oh, God!

Jet lag. It's OK.

Um, Dom, can I ask you something?

Yeah. Sure.

About Elsa.

Here's the thing. You go away,
but you call all the time.

But you come back
and we don't know how long for.

It's...it's hard on her.

I know.

I know.

And it's not
how I want things to be.

Well, how do you want things to be?

Whenever, and in whatever way
she'll let me...

I want to be the best father
I possibly can be.

Good.

Come on. I've got your bed made up.

I'm sorry. There's, um...

so much more I...want
to talk to you about.

It can wait.

How's Hari?

Oh, he writes to her.

All seems well.

Good.

Well...I should go to bed.

Yeah.

Night.

Night. Night.

SHE SOBS

Jess? What's going on?

Oh...

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Oh, honey.

It's been 18 months, Mark.
18 months since the miscarriage,

and that's a year
of thermometers and tests

and drugs that make me feel
like some sort of hormonal maniac,

and I am trying to be brave
and buoyant and, you know, Jessica,

but I just can't do it any more,
I just...I can't!

Thank you.

Any time. No, really.

I don't know what I'd have done
without you guys.

It'll get better. I promise.

Night. Night.

See you. Bye.

Well, I'm glad you didn't let
that man fondle you all night.

Mother!

You're supposed to be in Cape Town.

So where next, then?
Mexico City? Kabul?

Or have your gap years
come to an end?

Not to an end as such.

And I should apologise
for descending on you like this.

It's just that things happened
rather quicker than I'd imagined,

and I really couldn't
face going home.

What things, Mother?

Would you mind very much
if we left this till tomorrow?
It's been a long journey,

and I really am exhausted.

Well, the spare room's
still in the same place.

Katherine...

that man you were with just now -

I'm assuming that means that Daniel
isn't following you back home.

That man is Richard,
Trudi's husband.

But yes, your assumption
regarding Dan is correct, I'm afraid.

Then I'm sad
it didn't go better for you both.

Good night, Mum.

Good night.

Right, that's me, I think.

You coming up?

Um, yeah, in a minute.

Sure.

Oh, bloody hell!

Sorry.

What time is it? Half-past two.

Trudi! I know.

I know.

Morning, Katherine.

Morning.

Did you sleep all right?

Very well, thank you.

Looks nice. It is.

Where is it?

Cape Town -

about an hour or so north.

Mmm.

And...what is it?

It's the ranch I'm buying.

HORN TOOTS

Who's that?
That's Damian, from Humbolts.

Humbolts, the estate agency?

Is there another Humbolts?

What's he doing here? I'm taking him
out to value the house.

Our house?

That's right.

Good to see you.
REPLY INAUDIBLE

Hey!

Breakfast in bed.

Ah.

So listen, this is one
of my three days in the office,

and Elsa normally goes to the minder,
but we thought

that you might like to step in.
Daddy day-care?

Whoa-ho!

ELSA GIGGLES

OK, three lunches.

Amy... OK, put that in your bag,
please.

Cathy... Amy!

Make-up off.
You know the rules, Amy.

Yeah, all right, Nigella(!)

OK. Come on, girls. The bus leaves
in five minutes. Quickly.

Mwah! Kiss. Mwah!

OK, let's go.

Come on, quickly.

Uh - check.

Have a good day.

It's just not feasible.

But it's the only thing we have
that'll guarantee the bank loan.

I know that.

The loan that will
allow the business

to grow in the way it needs.

I know that too.

So?

So...call me risk-averse,

but if the bakery goes down,
I'm not wildly keen on the idea

of the family home going with it.

Richard, the bakery pays
for the family home.

If it goes down, we go down.
That's hardly fair, is it?

It's not like
I don't support this family.

I didn't say that.
Maybe you didn't need to.

Now you're being unfair.

Look, I know
what you do for this family,

what you do for the girls, what you
do for me - you keep us afloat,

and I would never undervalue that,
never.

But what about
what I'm trying to do?

I am working and juggling and I'm
trying hard to fight
to keep our lives,

and...and it's bloody hard.

I never see the girls,

I never see you, and...I miss you.

But all I seem to get from you is
some kind of...tight-lipped
martyrdom.

What do you want me to do?

I am trying to find a solution
to this problem, and I cannot do that

if I have to tiptoe around you
and your feelings for ever.

Mobile.

Shit!

KEYPAD BEEPS

MOBILE RINGS

PHONES BEEP OFF

SHOWER SPLASHES

SHE GASPS

Siobhan? Oh! Mobile.

Oh, right.

Um, listen, tonight...

Yes?

Could we... What?

...have dinner, you and me?
There's something I'd like
to talk to you about.

Yeah, great. Fine. OK.

How long on the Clomid now?
Six months.

Which is the maximum allowance.

I know.

So what next? IVF.

Which means? Well...there are

a number of options...
We wait or we pay.

We should probably wait, though.
We should.

Just until we're properly back
on our feet again.

Right. Yeah.

You know, all my life,
everyone, my parents, everyone,

they've always tried to tell me
that there was a time for prudence,

for financial caution.

Obviously, I never believed them.

But even if there is such a time...

this isn't it.

What are you saying, Mark?

I'm saying...
that I want to do this for you.

I want to make it happen.

You've supported me for two years
now, and I want to give it back.

I'm going to close this deal
and then it's going to be my time
to look after you.

So unless Katie has any other
suggestions, I think we should
just get on with it.

Oh!

I'll talk to some people
and get things moving, OK?

Jess, that's amazing. That's great!

And brave of you. Yeah.

Both of you. And look, I know
things have been tricky financially,

so if you guys need any help,
I'm here, OK?

Well, we won't.

I know. I'm just saying, if you do.

Thanks.

It's not a problem.

OK.

So, how's Dominic?

Um... Siobhan?

Oh, I...

I found a ring in his stuff.

A diamond ring.

Oh, my God!

He can't just show up and
expect...that. That's so...

So romantic! No, it's insane!

It's insane. I mean...

what does he think is going on here?

I don't know, maybe he just thinks
he's the man who's always
been in love with you

and now's the right time to make
his move. Oh, Siobhan, come on.

You know he's always been much more
than a rummage in
the stationery cupboard.

Who for, though?

But...marriage?

Well, what's wrong with marriage?
You're asking me that?

I know. I can hardly believe it
myself sometimes.

But you know...me and Mark and the
life we're going to have together,

it just means everything to me.

Anyway, what about little Elsa?
What could be better for her

than having her mum and dad
actually being her mum and dad?

Why aren't you at work?
I wanted to have lunch with you.

Glass of wine?

It's South African.

So...how was Damian from Humbolts?

He thought we'd get enough on the
house to cover the purchase
price of the ranch.

Well, that is wonderful news,

although I don't know why
you're referring to "we".

It's clearly
got nothing to do with me.

I wasn't using it
in relation to you.

Who were you using it
in relation to, then?

Dale.

Dale?

My boyfriend.

Your...

Mother, just so I'm clear.

Would this be a correct summation
of the facts so far?

You are selling our family home
and emigrating to run a ranch

in the Western Cape
with an Afrikaner called Dale.

He's not an Afrikaner.

He's a widower from Leamington Spa.
Mother, please!

All right, yes, yes, that would be
an accurate summation
of the affairs,

although I fail to see
why you're so exercised by the news.

Because it's where I grew up,

and you just blithely go and announce
that it isn't going to be there
any more.

When was the last time
you went up there?

Oh...
Last week? Last month? Last year?

The place is mothballed. It's been
mothballed since your father died.

I know you're angry about this...
Oh, God!

..about lots of things.

But I just don't understand
your sudden attachment to the place.

Would you like the two of us
to move back in?

No, of course not.

I just think these are things you
might have chosen to tell me about,
that's all.

What? In the way you chose to tell
me about Dan, I imagine.

Do pass that salmon.
It looks delicious.

Right...

More bills?

Yup. They're very demanding.

What's this, then? Um...

It's an online network
for introducing

small businesses and investors
to each other.

"Small bakery needs its buns iced."

It's like internet dating.

You ever done internet dating,
Trudi? Er...no, never.

Have you?

Oh, yeah, loads.

Met my bloke online. Great.

Yeah, well, it was, until I stopped
signing on and got this job.

Yeah. It's a lot easier
to manage your relationship

when you can
lay about in bed all day.

I think I'm going to dump him,
in any case,

because I really want
to concentrate on this, Trudi.

Being here with you,
this opportunity...

is the most important thing
in my life right now.

No man can come close.

Oh, please don't break his heart
on my account.

Oh, it's too late, Trudi.

My mind's made up.

SHE SIGHS

No matter how much else I've learnt
to do since your father died,

I'm still next to useless
at this kind of thing.

Not Dale's strong point either?

No. But he has other ones.

PHONE RINGS

Hello?

Oh, Richard, hi.

Er...no.

No, that's no problem at all.

Actually, there might be something
you can do in return.

SHE LAUGHS

No, it's not for me.

No, it's for my mother.
She's buying a house.

Yeah.

OK.

OK, thank you.

Thanks, Richard.
I'll see you later. Bye.

That was Richard,
who you saw the other night.

I said I'd pick Gina up
from her piano lesson

while he got the other two
from school. Doesn't she have
a mother for that?

And the quid pro quo?

He said he would be delighted
to help you with your accounts.

GIRLS ARGUING
What's all that?

Boy fight.

Katie, thank God you're here. I...

It's always your fault. So?

Shut up!
He doesn't even fancy you, Amy!

But I liked him first. So?

Katie, tell her!
It's not the way it works.

THEY MURMUR
He's a jock. Jocks never like emos.

How do you know he'll like you
instead? Cos he's a boy.

Such a slag, Cathy! Hey! Amy,

never say that to her. Yeah, Amy.

And don't you get on your high
horse, because if Amy
did see him first,

I say she has every right
to expect you to back off.

But, hey, look, girls.
Here's the thing.

There are going to be so many boys -

armies of them -

and not one of them
is going to be worth this.

Men! God!

They are annoying, mostly.

Occasionally, yes,
they can be great.

But they're never going to be able
to give you
what you two already have,

which is your friendship.

This. Best friends.

Never jeopardise that
for one of them.

Never.

OK, go.

Thank you.

He told Melissa Gates he fancies me!

And Melissa Gates is as much of
a lying slut as you are!

'That's true.'
Why are you sticking up for her?

You're my sister!
ALL SHOUT AT ONCE

You're just jealous!

SCREAMING CONTINUES

God!
SHE LAUGHS

Give me one of those.

O-o-oh!

What is it about girls? I don't
ever remember being like that.

Evolutionary biology. Right...

No, seriously,
men are biologically disposed to...

spread their seed...

reproduce with as many and as varied
of the opposite sex as possible.

And women?

Find the best specimen you can
and try to hang on to him.

Don't let anyone else near.

Nothing we can do about it.
Makes us defensive.

You four manage, though. Mmm.

Look at you.
15 years you've been friends.

It's 20 for me and Trudi.
Well, there you go.

Maybe you're the next
evolutionary stage.

Or the missing link.

You're smoking.

Sorry. Desperate measures.

GIRLS SHOUT
What is going on?

Boy trouble. I gave them the
"girls are better than boys" talk.
Didn't work.

CROCKERY SMASHES
Right. Old-fashioned methods,
I think.

Right, I've had enough!
What is wrong? All afternoon...

You'll never guess what landed
on my doorstep last night.

Her Majesty.

Your mum?

Herself.

Wow!

Everything OK?

Everything is perfect.
She's been bathed and read to.

All you need to do
is go and say good night.

OK.

Is that really so terrible?

Seriously, she needs
protecting from herself.

Really? I mean...

she got married, had you,

worked hard.

Maybe it's time
she put herself first.
Maybe she deserves a bit of that.

I mean, think about it.
You know, actually, don't.

It sends you mad
if you think about it too much.

Am I sensing a personal agenda here?

Yes, you might be.

Hmm... I don't know,

I just think that whatever way
you look at it, the whole thing
is bloody rigged.

You can't win.

You work hard.

You try to do the best for your
family, who you love and miss,

and all I ever feel is that one way
or another, I am letting them down.

You can't have it all.

No, it seems not.

Does Richard ever talk to you
about this stuff?

About me and him and...the business?

I mean...you probably see more
of him than I do at the moment.

No.

Really. He's never said a word
about it.

OK.

This is lovely, Dom.

Thank you.

Elsa chose the fish.

She's been well trained.

So this, um...

me coming back like this, um...

Obviously, I wanted to see Elsa,
and it's been great and everything,
but...

Like I said, there is something
that I want to, um...

Oh...

This is...harder
than I thought it would be.

KNOCK AT DOOR
Oh!

Oh...

Are you...expecting anyone?

No.

PEREMPTORY KNOCK

I'll, er...I'll be right back.

DOOR OPENS
Hi.

Honey, I know it's only been a week,

but I have missed you so much.
Me too.

DOOR CLOSES
Is she in here?

AMERICAN ACCENT: Siobhan?

Siobhan, Siobhan, Siobhan,
I have heard so much about you.

This is Alice...

..my fiancee.

About the house - the loan.

You were right to say
it's not worth it. It isn't.

I'm...I'm glad you've said that.

And I...I think
there might be a solution.

Right...

I placed an ad on a website

where small businesses
get introduced to investors.

Sounds like internet dating.

That's what Steph said.

Anyway, someone came back -

a guy called Webb.

He owns restaurants. Nice ones.
We're meeting tomorrow afternoon.

Tomorrow afternoon? But what time?
I've got to pick the girls up.

Oh, you don't have to come.

No, I think I should be there.

Er...honestly, Richard, it's just
a preliminary meeting. It...

Right.

Ah, lovely. Dip it in, sweetie.

Are you going to eat your egg,
sweetie? Mm-hm.

Yeah? Daddy's cutting you
some soldiers.

Morning. Morning!

Hey!

She's like a princess.

Hah! She is, isn't she?

I am going to go shower.

I'm sorry.
I was about to tell you. She just...

Beat you to it?

Yeah. Anyway...

no idea
why it was such a problem for you.

No, no. Um...
it was ridiculous of me.

But look, if it's at all
inconvenient, we can find a hotel.

Don't be absurd. Elsa's clearly
delighted, aren't you? So am I.

She's beautiful.

Thank you.

So, um...have you named a date?

Um... We have, actually.

It's in two Fridays' time.

Two...

Siobhan, do you mind
if I use your hair conditioner?

Sure.

Thanks.

What time is it?

Eight.

What have I done to deserve this?

It's only tea.

You used to bring your father
his tea. Do you remember?

I would have brought you yours, too,
but you were always up

and on duty.

You know,
one of the great wonders of my life

was watching the way you were
together.

I don't think I've ever seen
two people love each other more.

Katherine...

..you know, all I've ever wished for
you is what you'd wish for yourself.

I'd better get ready if I'm going
to get you to Richard's for 10.30.

I'm fine, really.
You don't have to worry about me.

I think I do.

Please, I want to get dressed.

You won't tell me what happened with
Dan, which is your prerogative.

But I'm afraid I can't help

but be curious about what has
happened for you to be so...
reduced.

Reduced?

You're my mother.
How can you say that to me?

Because you are my daughter,
my beautiful, brilliant daughter,

and I have to ask myself
what has brought you to this -

a trained oncologist
wasting her life as a locum,

an extremely attractive woman
on her own again,

when she should be looking
for someone to be happy with,

have a family with.

You want to know
what happened with Dan?

Why he took me to Australia
and then sent me away again?

He sent me away because no matter
how hard he tried,
he couldn't forgive me.

Because every time he looked at me,

he saw a woman who thought so little
of him, so little of herself...

..that she screwed his best friend.

So there you are.

I work where I do
because it suits me,

and I am on my own because,
quite frankly,
I don't know who'd have me any more.

Good luck.

You OK?

Yeah, just a bit nervous, I guess.
Yeah, you and me both.

So I'll see you at the clinic later,
yeah?

See you there. OK.

Mark...

Siobhan offered
to lend us some money.

I told her we didn't need it.
Good. Because we don't.

I know.

BELL RINGS

Hi.

Richard - my mother, Vivienne.

How do you do?

Come in.

Hi, Conor. Mark.

Hello. Hello, I'm Mark.

MUSIC ON SOUNDTRACK DROWNS SPEECH

He's just in there.

Trudi.

Hi. Hello. Chris Webb.

I'm afraid I've been doing
my homework.

You delivered
to your hundredth customer last May,

and according to your auditors,
your turnover reached six figures
this year.

Impressive.

I imagine you started to go slightly
crazy sometime around Easter,

and that all the pleasure you took
in building your business evaporated

with the news that any further growth
and the loans it required

would risk entirely bankrupting you
and your family.

Shall I tell you what I want, Trudi?

Er...please.

I want to give you
your pleasure back.

I've cleared the rest of the day
so you can show me the factory unit.

Er...it's not a factory.
It's a kitchen.

The doctor's ready now.
Thank you.

Mrs...Hardy?

Yeah.

Isn't your husband here?
Um...not yet.

MUSIC ON SOUNDTRACK DROWNS SPEECH

Mark...

I'm sorry.
I don't think it's going to work.

No apologies. If it's not for you,
it's not for you.

Let us at least pick up the tab.

Absolutely not. No. I insist.

If you're sure? I'm sure.

All right. Cheers, Conor. See you.

MACHINE BEEPS
Declined, right?

I'm sorry, sir.

This one should work.

OK?

Yeah. She just needs to get
the paperwork to, um...

Dale. Dale.

All pretty straightforward.

Good. Then she should be gone
before I kill her.

Are you all right?

Katie?

Thank you for this, Katherine.
It was good of you and kind of him.

He's a kind man.
And fond of you, I think.

He's my friend.

No.

No, he's not.

He's the husband
of your oldest friend.

You'll say I'm old-fashioned,
that the world has changed,
but I see things...

..and I see
the pleasure he takes in you.

And I see that she's a woman
who's away from home a great deal.

These things happen all the time,
and...

forgive me, darling, they have
a habit of happening to you.

What did I do, hmm?

Will you tell me, please, why I had
to have a mother who is so cruel...

..who can only ever disagree
or find fault,

who can't help but ruin everything?

Katherine, please... Stop calling me
that. I am not Katherine.

I never was.

DOOR OPENS
Hi.

I'm so sorry I'm late.

Hello. Mark Hardy.

Hello. How did it go?

Entirely according to plan.

Right...

Having strawberry and vanilla.

They're so cute. Oh, thank you.

INAUDIBLE CHATTER

I wonder if you know
quite how much he talks about you.

Yeah, well, his daughter's here.

No...you.

How much he talks about you.

We've been together
for seven months,

and in all that time
you know what scared me the most?

I had absolutely no idea how I was
ever supposed to live up to you.

I think this would suggest
that as far as Dominic's concerned,

you've no need to live up to
anything.

It was his grandmother's, you know.

He went to get it,
he had it re-sized,
he told everybody about us.

Family, friends.

But he couldn't bring himself
to tell you.

Hey, listen. I know what you're
worrying about, but you're to stop.

Of course Dominic and I have history,
and a very real three-year-old
between us.

If he's going to find it difficult
to tell anyone that this...

beautiful girl is stealing him away,
it's going to be us.

That's what he keeps saying -

that anything that was between you
two is ancient history now.

Well, he's right.

I know. And it's funny, you know,
seeing the two of you together now,

it is totally clear to me that
I never had a thing to worry about.

Dom! Elsa! Hey!

What are you doing?

Having a picnic?

INAUDIBLE CHATTER

Everything is specifically designed
so that, wherever possible,

we can replicate
the home-made baking process.

Kitchens, not factories.

Precisely.

UTENSILS CLATTER, VOICES MURMUR

Can we talk somewhere a bit quieter?
Er...yeah.

BELL RINGS

Um...my husband.

Hi. Er...

I was just on my way to pick up
the girls and wanted to
see how it had all gone.

Er, good. I mean...

Yes, good. I'm sorry. Chris.

Hi, Richard.

Er, so, we were just going to...

Right. Um...should I...?

Er...no, no. No, stay.

Oh, OK. Yes...

what I have to say will obviously
affect the pair of you.

OK, so...

I want to be straight with you,
Trudi.

Investment is not something
I'm particularly interested in...

Oh, er...

Right. I...
..because it's not something I do.

So, er...why...?

What I am interested in,
what I'm good at,

is buying companies like yours.

What, outright?

I'm not very good at sharing.

Only the ownership structure
would be different.

You can be involved
to whatever degree you wish.

You can take some time off,
you can work your fingers
to the bone. Your choice.

Everyone is rewarded,

and, as I say,

you get your joy back.

Trudi, this is everything
we've been waiting for.

What? Trudi, it is.

Richard, please. Never mind
borrowing against the house.

We can pay off
the entire bloody mortgage.

We could take the kids to
Disneyland. Seriously,
we could have our lives back.

Richard, enough!

I should be getting to school.

Um, very nice to meet you.
Yeah, likewise.

Um...I'm sorry.

Don't be.

He's right.
All those things are true.

KNOCKING

Can I talk to you, Siobhan?

Well, yeah, of course, come on in.

I...I just had no idea
how much it had been eating her up,

and I just feel powerless, Siobhan,

like I don't know how to help her -

what to be ready for,
what the costs are,

personally and financially.

Well, Hari and I only really went
through the first stages of it all,

but...even then, it was just
as painful and expensive
as everyone says.

Oh...!
But if it gets you what you want,

then it's all worth it, surely?

Well, absolutely.
Whatever it takes.

Mark, um...

I hope Jess told you that, um...

well, if it's a matter of money,
I'm very happy to help.

What? No. That's not why...
Really, I couldn't.

No, please.
She's my friend, I love her.

I'd...like to.

If you did, she must never know.

BUZZER

Hi.

Richard...um...

what is it?

Have you got a moment?

Well, my mum's here. We're just...
We could go for a quick drink.

Well...I...I'm quite tired.
I don't know, it's late.

Um...it's just... I really need
to speak to someone and...

it suddenly struck me
that you're the only person I can
talk to about this.

Yeah.

Um... Look, Richard,

I really don't think I'm the person
you should be bringing
your problems to.

I'm sorry, I'm just not.

Right.

Of course.

I'm sorry.

I'll, um...I'll go.
