Nic. Jen. You're great. I try.
I've lost my cat, got a distraught son...
Mum, come on. We're going to be late again!
Well, we should celebrate. Yes.
You know. There's vibes.
Dan, this is Jen. Jen, this is Dan.
Jen. Nice to meet you. Dan.
I've got to be really good tonight
cos it's Ollie's birthday tomorrow morning.
Yeah. Opa! Opa!
It was like my twin flame.
What? With... Not with him.
With a guy called Alex.
Did you just break up, or...?
STOP THE TRAIN! HELP ME, PLEASE!
SHE SCREAMS
Oh, God.
LAUGHTER AND MUSIC REVERBERATES
God!
To the good times!
Why do you drink? Why do you do it to yourself?
Why do you keep making the same mistake, Nic?
Hmm? Hmm?
I'm stuck. I mean, what am I supposed to do? I don't have a job.
But I don't understand. If you're not happy with Dan,
why can't you leave now?
You opened them. Mm?
You opened them without me.
Yeah, cos you were fast asleep and he wanted to crack on.
So, sorry.
Yeah. I mean, when you were asleep, to be honest,
you looked like you were dead.
You were dribbling and everything. It was horrific.
Was I? Yeah. Yeah.
It's actually quite sad. Oh, God.
I can't believe I had that much to drink.
Really?
Look, I was battered and I was singing Fresh Prince, the rap,
so I've lost my voice. Really?
Well, I didn't do it on purpose.
I've organised all of this. I know, I know.
And Jen just kept topping me up, and topping me up,
and topping me up. Yeah.
Was it her idea to get the port?
She get that out, did she, the port?
What? That bottle of port's from four Christmases ago, Nic,
I'm surprised you woke up.
You had a lot to chat about, then.
Where is Jen? She's gone.
Thought she was staying the night?
Yeah, but Harry couldn't sleep, so she had to take him back.
When? Dunno. Just in the night.
Oh.
Well, did he like his camera?
Yeah, I think so. Did you?
Me, what, huh? Do you like your camera?
I spent ages choosing that, lad.
Er, yeah.
Yeah, I mean, like, when I,
like, when I opened the box, I was just, like,
"Pfff, whoa."
We're getting you cash as well. Yeah, cash is nice.
Have you taken a picture with the hat that your mum sent?
No. Well, no, cos he's in his pyjamas. Oh, what, you...
Well, she's going to be on my case otherwise.
What else did she get you?
Duplo. Are you kidding?
Nope. Oh, my God. That's ridiculous. Two-plus.
I mean, does she know how old you are?
Obviously not. This is for infants.
Christ Almighty.
Right. I'm not wearing that.
Nic? No. Yes.
You haven't said "happy birthday" to him yet.
Yes, I have! No, you haven't. Do I get... Have I not? No.
SHE SIGHS Oh, happy birthday, mate.
Ugh! Mum! Just stand there with that.
Quick. Please, mate. Quick. Come on.
Right, stay there. Hang on a sec. OK.
The lighting's not right. You have to go over here. Go over there.
No, Mum. Come on. Chop, chop, chop, chop. I don't want to do it.
Come on, come on. You want that money in your building society,
mate, you better earn it. OK. Right, OK.
Smile. PHONE RINGS
Just do it nicely.
Imagine that's a load of cash.
I'm not answering that. That's Mum.
Smile nicely. Ha! Hey!
PHONE RINGS Oh.
Ah, she's phoning me now. Don't answer it.
Hello? Yes, Carol.
Yeah. No, he is by his phone.
He just didn't want to talk to YOU.
It was a joke, Carol.
Yes, he's HERE!
Here's Nanny!
Hi, Nan. HE LAUGHS NERVOUSLY
Yeah, yeah. Right, right. I loved it.
It's just... Yeah, it's... The present... It's just amazing.
Yeah. I'm wearing my hat for a picture for you and...
You know that when I opened it, I was just, like,
"Cor! It's just so good!"
Yeah.
Um.
It's, like...
Oh.
HE STAMMERS
Babe? I'm sorry.
I didn't mean it. Don't be sorry for that.
That's... I'm unbelievably proud of you.
That was good. That was quite good. That was good, weren't it? I know.
That was really great. PHONE RINGS
Don't hang up on her like that. Oh, she's phoning again.
Pass me some of that wrapping paper.
Hiya, Carol.
No, I can't.
Can you not hear me at all?
Hey, Mum?
What? We're a bit bored.
I mean, have you tried wrapping Denin up in some bog roll?
Yeah, we've done that. That's page one.
I don't know, then. Do what normal kids do - just wet toilet paper
and just throw it at the ceiling.
All right. God... Oh, God...
Cheers, Mum.
SHE SIGHS
Ew, I saw that!
That's disgusting!
Go on, then. Lucky dip.
Gross! Shame on you!
It was that one. BELLY GROWLS

so I think we should put Ollie's film on now.
OK. Yep, yep, yep, yep.
Um, very quickly...
SHE BREAKS WIND Yeah?
Just while you're there, I just wanted to ask your advice
on something very, very quickly.

Oh...
I keep getting flashes of something I said to you last night.
What do you mean?
I can't remember quite what it was, but I'm just... urrrrgh!
What did I say to you? Ugh...
You're just... You're just going to absolutely drive yourself mad...
I know... with all this. OK? I know, I know.
That's why you're so messed up, OK?
Because you never talk to anyone about it. I know!
You hold it all in all the time.
Jeez, Nic, you're just a human.
We've all done shit, OK? Oh...
God... I would never, ever tell anyone about it.
You promise? I promise.
You'd never say anything? I promise, I would never. Oh, my God...
It's not your fault, Nic. None of it was your fault.
I can't deal with this. You can, you can, look. Come on, get up.
God, it's like a load of rats have escaped from a lab!
They're like animals! I know!

It's Suze. Oh, Suze! Hey!
Hey, how you doing, buddy?
Hey. Hello, Auntie Suze.
Nice to see you! You too!
OK. So, I know I'm the absolute worst because I missed your party,
but I have got you the most awesome present.
Thank you. Can I get you a drink, Suze?
Uh... No, I can't stay long, sorry.
So, I know this is a bit niche,
but I had these especially made
just for you.
Wait... Oh, my God!
What is it? What is it?
It's the... the... Remember the stop-motion thing we saw on telly?
Yeah. It's that! Yeah, they're Claymation figures.
They've got wires in them so you can bend them whichever way you want.
I can't get you a glass of wine? I can't stay, honestly. Sorry.
Actually, listen, I've been thinking about...
...Alex's anniversary. Oh, yeah.
And I thought maybe we could get a memorial seat at Old Trafford.
That's a great idea. Yeah? OK, cool.
It's, like, a couple thousand for the plaque.
Well, that's fine. I can chip in.
Weirdly, we were talking about maybe putting some money...
They've given me a map of the different seats available.
...behind the bar at his favourite pub. I don't know anything about
football, so I thought maybe you could choose.
Yeah, yeah, of course. Yeah.
Yeah? What should I get on the plaque?
Um... It's no swearing. They're a bit weird about it, so...
Yeah, I'll think of something, yeah. Like a nickname or something?
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, he had a load of them.
Yeah, that's nice. That's lovely. Yeah.
Cool. Great.
Right, I've got to go, I've got to go. Sorry.
I've got to go to this boring dinner and wonder why the guy playing

Oh, that's great. That's great. I've got to go. I'm sorry.

And what did she see?
She saw a 14-year-old Dan furiously,
furiously giving it to his favourite football sock.
Come to bed, Dan.
Yeah, I'm coming to bed.
In a bit, yeah.
This was just around the time
he got made captain of the school football team.
What kind of disgusting power trip was this?

So, I went to the same school as Dan,
and I made it my business to tell the entire school.
And by lunchtime, I get pulled into the headmaster's office,
and he says to me, "Alex..."
You never told me what you actually saw. Dan...!
I've got an image of it in my head,
and I just need to know if it was better or worse.
It was quick.
That's it. That's all you need to know.
I know I'm making this about me. I know you loved him too. I'm sorry.

No. Mm-hm.

Could you do cleaning with THAT in your whole system?
Are you going to be all right to drive? Well, I don't know.
Would you be?

You all right, mate? Where have you been?
Sorry, just been on the phone to my mum.
Had to hang up, like, eight times. She just wouldn't shut up.

Ollie wasn't bothered. He wasn't? No, not at all.
Where've they gone? They've gone out to the shed, have they? Yeah.

Babe, I'm so sorry! I couldn't find anywhere to park.
There were no spaces at all,
so I had to go and park in the bloody golf club

Oh... Can you imagine? No. What a blooming nightmare.
I mean, how can a place like this, of this scale,
have such a small bloody car park?
I have no idea. Make it make sense.
Can we make it make sense, please?! No, I don't...
Oh, gosh. The day!
My boyfriend was up all night, yeah? Yeah?
My boyfriend was up all night being sick. Oh...
Well, from every angle, really - from the front and the back.
Because I gave him a fish pie that I made on Monday on Saturday.
Because this bitch, he saw me in my new Givenchy coat,
and he said to me that I look like a character out of the Muppets.
Oh... That's...
That coat is beautiful. Yeah? Very beautiful.
And I know, I know I shouldn't have given him that fish pie,
but he hurt me. And when that fool used to walk around town dressing
like he was in the Peaky Blinders, did I say anything? No.
No, I didn't, because I knew it would destroy him. Yeah.
Anyway, anyway, are we, are we, are we excited about today?
Yes! Sorry! This is Alex. Alex.
Jesus. Alex, this is Jesus. Lovely to meet you, Alex.
Sorry, Jesus? Jesus, yes.
Um, babe, could you get me a coffee, by any chance?
Yes, Jesus. Um... How do you take it?
Cappuccino, please. No sugar.
Um... It's a hotel, so there's only instant in the rooms.
Don't they do cappuccinos at the bar downstairs?
Yeah. Mm-hm? Brilliant. Thank you very much.
Do you want the chocolate dust on the top?
Everything, please. Give me it all.
DOOR SHUTS OK, he's a little bit sexy.
Mm-hm. I would like a bit of that, please.
Yeah? Oh, I like him a lot.
I'm very happy for you, you're in a good place.
But isn't it bad luck to see the groom before you get married?
SHE SPLUTTERS Sorry, he's not the groom.
Absolutely not the groom.
Right... Sorry, he's not.
Um... Has anything changed since the consultation?
You're still happy with...?
I was just wondering, possibly,
if I could have sort of shorter lashes, if that was possible?
No. No? No, babe, I really wouldn't know.
No, you need to trust me. Shorter lashes do not photograph well.
OK. Could we go a bit neutral on the lips, possibly?
No, I don't think so. No? OK. Yep. Stick with the plan.
All right, let me get started with your base.

No, no, no, don't go back out there.
Carol, made me, FORCED me, by the way, to have her. Ugh!
Have you seen your mother-in-law yet?
Oh, God, no.
She's a piece of work too!
If I started stabbing her, I would just never stop stabbing.
God, it's like she can't handle that

I'm sorry, I can't.
Nicola? Yeah?
Please could you take him for a minute?
Oh, just... I've still got to get ready.
I'm just getting ready for my wedding.
But he just wants you.
He's just a bit tired, Carol.
Are you still all right to do me afterwards? Yeah, we're good.
Am I paying for that? No.
No, I know, you just want your mummy, don't you?
ALEX: Hey, cappuccino.
Oh, we are here! Thank you, baby!
Are you good?
Hey, what's wrong, big man? Why are you crying?
Oh, he just wants his mummy! Why are you crying?
Silly Nana. Mummy's getting married.
Oh... Come on. Come on, mate.
Let's go check the United score.
Say, "Bye, Mummy. Love you. Love you lots."
Thank you.
You're not going to be much longer, are you?
No... Mum, give Nic some space, yeah?
All right! Yeah. Come on.
I got you, I got you.
Did you notice that?
What? Alex.
What about Alex?
He's pulling away from me.
Really? Yes, I can feel it.
He's giving me that vibe, like, the last couple of weeks.
Really? Yes! No... You know when you just know?
Oh, my God, no, no, no, no. Yes!
I didn't see your man.
What's he like? Tell me about him. He's... Uh, Dan?
Um... He's very reliable and sort of... Fantastic.
...like an A4 envelope, I suppose.
Cos you've got a lot of sauce, I thought you need someone
that's going to be quite sturdy in that way.
I saw him earlier and he was grinning from ear to ear.
Really? Yeah. He looked like a right dickhead.
Dan, you always did well at school. You were brilliant at football.
You took over the business from Dad
and you've absolutely smashed that as well.
You excel at everything you put your mind to, Dan.
And, of course, as your little brother,
I did get jealous every now and then.
And then Dan met Nic and I thought,
"Holy shit, he's done it.
"He's found the one."
He's found a unicorn,
a woman so funny she can make you cry with laughter.
So witty and smart she can tie us all in knots.
So beautiful - and I'm sure you'll all agree -
that today she took all of our breath away.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
And you will never find a better mother.
That's a round of applause, guys.
That's your cue for the round of applause.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
But most importantly, she is really good at telling Dan
when he's being a massive bell end.
LAUGHTER
Dan, I love you.
Nic, I love you.
