Oh, my God, yes.
Wahey! Wahey! Wanker!
Oh, God! LAUGHTER
Get in. Sorry. Hello. You look fit. Thank you.
Thanks, mate. I know! Oh, sorry, I didn't see you there.
It's really purple, isn't it?
It is purple. It's a bit purple.
Nic's been cooking all morning,
but she's also been drinking all morning.
Not all morning! God! Hello! All right, honey?
Oh, my gosh. How are you? Yes, I'm good. Look at you!
You look gorgeous! Oh, you look gorgeous!
Thank you. This place!
Can you feel that? Can you feel it? What, the underfloor heating?
Can you feel the underfloor heating? I can't, I've got a new coat!
Oh, this looks incredible! You've really got an eye.
Oh, God, I don't. You do! No, I don't. I couldn't do this.
Oh, God. God's sake. Don't, you'll break the champagne!
Oh, it is champagne! CHUCKLING
Is that a regift?
No, I nicked it from work.
You've got to see the conservatory. Yes! We have a conservatory.
Oh, yeah, come have a look. I'm really showing off.
If I annoy you or be a bit of a sort of smug twat,
just tell me to fuck off. No, you won't. Stop it!
I think they've got a conservatory, babe. Oh, my goodness!
Come on, then, shall I show you through? Wow. OK. Sure.
You're going to absolutely love it. Ooh!
Oh, wow! It's all right, innit?
Oh, my goodness!
You all right?
Yeah, you? Yeah, good.
How... How was LA? Was it brilliant?
Is that small talk, Nic?
No, I'm not small-talking you. I'm actually fascinated.
That's small talk. No, small talk is, "How was the weather there?
"Is it hot? What time of year did you go?"
That's small talk.
What?
You look good.
Did you get your hair done for today? No.
God, you're so arrogant!
You are unbelievably arrogant.
Is that a new top?
Yes.
You look really fucking good. Shut up.
Like a sexy matador. How was it?
Why aren't you telling me how... how it was?
Yeah, I just chilled at the hotel. Suzie met famous people.
Oh, my God, lovely.
WHISPERS: Nic?
Nic?
Do you remember when we fucked here? HE TAPS
Don't. Why are you doing that?
Nic?
Yes, love? You'll never guess who I saw the other week.
Who?
Dull Claire. Oh, my God!
Oh, I mean, guess what she's doing now?
I have no idea. HE MOUTHS
She's a financial dominatrix.
What on earth is that?
It's basically where men get off on giving women money,
and then they spunk it on, like, Chanel bags and shit.
What? Oh, my God, what is that even about?
And she doesn't even have to sleep with them or anything.
How did she get into that? Cos I need to get into it!
I know! What are you talking about?
That's basically us. She looks like a bloody thumb, remember?
She does look like a thumb.
I tell you what I've got. You'll love this.
SUZIE LAUGHS Oh, my gosh,
you need... You seen this? THEY CHATTER
Fucking purple.
So when Big Brother moved from Elstree... Mm-hm.
...they just shoved all this stuff in the warehouse
and they did an auction.
I picked this up for about 140 quid from the Big Brother house.
That one was about 260 quid. It's nice, innit?
Yeah, have a coffee in the morning.
But Brian Belo probably sat in that chair.
SUZIE LAUGHS
What was it, Nadia from Big Brother 5, who I loved?
THEY CHATTER
Oh, God!
I've completely ruined this gravy.
Uh, Alex, do you think I've ruined this gravy?
Can you just look at it?
Yeah. This is bugging the hell out of me.
I think I completely have.
I got you, boo. Damn, girl!
Right, so what are you doing? Talk me through it.
A bit of cornflour, if it's lying around.
DAN AND SUZIE CHATTER
So gorgeous! Yeah, it's nice, innit?
Oh, um, where's Ollie?
Oh! Ollie!
Your auntie and uncle are down here, and you're being very rude.
Ollie, can you come down? Auntie Suze and Uncle Alex are here.
Bit busy filming. I think they've got you a present.
Oh, OK, yeah. Oh, now you're coming down.
What crap present have I got to be grateful for this time?
Like a bloody greyhound now.
"Oh, thank you, Uncle Alex!" All right, all right, all right.
HE SIGHS Come on, then.
Hey! ALL: Hey!
You all right? Yeah. Did you have a good birthday?
Yeah, it was great, thanks. SUZIE: Sorry we missed it.
That's all right. Eight years old!
Oh! Thank you! This is for you.
Whoa.
Oh! Ooh! But...
Sorry, what is it? Oh, it's a bit small for him, innit?
It's for the cat! Oh, yes!
Oh. Wow, that's just... Like, I'm buzz... That's just...
Do you like it?
Yeah. Yeah, it's the best.
So he can be Godzilla!
Yeah. Is that it?
Is... Is that it?
Yes. Yeah, is that all right?
Oh, that's... That's enough. Nice.
Wow. SHE MOUTHS
Well, I'm going to go play in the shed. Yeah. All right?
Yeah. Oh, Ollie, you've dropped your... Mum!
WHISPERS: Mum!
I thought you said you were going to ask for cash.
I did ask them for cash. I'm sorry, they just got you that.
And there is no way he's getting in that, right?
Well, can you try and put it on him? It's a stegosaurus!
It's not even... HE GRUMBLES
Just put it on the cat and bring it in. I don't think he likes it.
Mum, please! I'll give you 20 quid. Deal.
He loves it. Uh-huh.
Oh, thank you. Are you sure? Oh, really does.
Yeah. He does. He loves it. Oh, my gosh! His face was saying...
We should've given him the money. THEY TALK OVER EACH OTHER
Drinks! You sort the table, I'll get the drinks.
Dinner is imminent. "Imminent"?
Imminent. That's right. I said it right.
Uh, can I have a glass of champs, please?
Do you want a glass of champs, Suze?
Water.
Are you serious?
Yeah, I've got to drive in the morning
and I've got a meeting tomorrow afternoon.
Is sparkling all right, then, Suze?
Yeah, sparkling is great. It's never stopped you before.
That's mad. Are you on antibiotics?
You can drink on those.
If you get the balance right,
it gives you quite like a nice, warm, fuzzy feeling, doesn't it?
Uh-huh. Where's Suzie gone? SUZIE CHUCKLES
Are you an android? Like a Black Mirror episode.
You're the waiter, you should be doing this.
Some wine, please. Cos you've got work tomorrow?!
Yeah, I've got a meeting I need to be fresh for!
Do you go round the table with a pepper grinder, like that?
No, cos I'm not a waiter, I'm a manager. Where's Suze gone?
I have been for eight years. I just want to be fresh tomorrow.
Where's my Suzie gone? This is so weird!
What is the minimum wage? I don't know.
Why don't you ask anyone that works for you.
Oh! LAUGHTER
That is... That's quite good.
Yeah, cos you asked me that, I had that in my pocket.
No, she's not drinking. Huh?
She's not drinking. Don't you think that's mad?
What, is she pregnant? No! Are you pregnant?
No! You're not pregnant? No?
No. Definitely not?
No, I'm not.
But...
Um... What are you doing? Well, we... Ah-bu-bu!
You know, because everyone's here, so we... What are you doing?
It's not a big deal. It's not the time.
We... Suzie, don't. Stop it. Oh, boy.
We are
trying for a baby.
SHE CHUCKLES
Oh, my God!
That's absolutely brilliant.
Yeah! My God. Mate, that's amazing news!
Aw, God! Sorry. Hey...
Do you know what, I've just...
Oh, God, my nail... Clipped it on something.
Oh, my... You all right, babe?
I'll go check.
Are you sure you want to have his kid? Is it OK that I said?
Yeah, it'll have to be, won't it? Suze?
Mm-hm? Are you sure?
It's good. Yeah, I'm excited.
WHISPERS: Look, I'm sorry.
Get away from me now.
We've been having tons of sex.
We've been shagging like rabbits, haven't we?
In fact, the other day, we did it in the toilet at Costa.
Oh, that's lovely. Yeah, you know, when we have to do it...
SOUND DISTORTS: ..we have to do it.
DISTORTED LAUGHTER

SHE LAUGHS Yes!
You threw that like Mr Burns then.
DISTORTED LAUGHTER
What a weird thing to say.
HE SHOUTS
That was delicious.
Oh, God, no, I totally overdid the beef.
Bloody Blumen Hestonthal said half an hour per kilo,
which is just utter lies. Heston Blumenthal.
Heston Blumenthal, whatever is. Yes, it was a bit tough.
It was like you needed a chainsaw to cut through.
Well, you cook next time. I was joking!
No, you weren't.
Right, give me that.
Oh, God. No, please, don't. I'll sort the dishwasher out.
You OK? Yeah, you? Mm-hm.
Alex, have you seen the results today? Oh, no, come on...
What? I'll help. No, no. Honestly?

Get a load of this.

Met her on Tinder. She works at the village shop.

25.20-fucking-five!
She wants my dick, basically.
And I don't know whether to give it to her or not.
I mean, her like that,
I'd say there with make-up on, all, like, dressed up,
she's like... Nine. Nine and a half, mate.
But like, without make-up, she's still a good eight, solid eight.
Oh, she went to, um...
Oh, my God, Katie!
Who was it that she, um...
The tutor. Yeah. God, he was a real...
He always used to give her, like, top marks.
Cheating bastard! I know. THEY LAUGH
I mean, this is like the stuff of fantasy.
I mean, your fantasies. This is my reality.
This is what I've got to live with, mate. This is what happens.
If you're me, this is what you have to deal with. Right.
Ah, well, I guess you'll just have to live vicariously through me, eh?
Mm. Look!
Babe? Um...
I think I'm feeling a bit jet-lagged. Oh, shit. You all right?
Yeah, I'm fine. I just...
I think maybe I should have a lie-down or something,
close my eyes for a second. You can use our room if you want.
Yeah? Yeah, yeah. Is that all right? Yeah.
Do you want to lie down? Yeah.
Yeah, I'm fine. I just need a lie-down. Is that OK?
Yeah, that's fine. I've got... I've run out of paracetamol,
but I'll go to the shop and get some more. Yeah?
Thank you.
OK, cool.
Is that all right?
Oh, my God, yeah, of cour... Is that OK? Yeah, go lie down. OK.
Oh, I hope you feel better soon. Yeah, yeah, I will.

Let's get rid of you, then. WHIRRING
Mum, you're a really good cook.
Why can't you cook like this all the time?
I'm actually in shock. That was so good.
The pancakes were almost as good as McDonald's.

OK.
Ollie?
Yeah?
Am I a bad mum?
No!
Don't be s... No. You're...
You know, you...
You're a great mum. Really?
Think of all the stuff you let me do.
Remember that time when you let me slide down the stairs
on a baking tray? Your head battered the door.
I did, but it was funny.
And the time when I put firecrackers
in the pizza oven in the back garden.
OK, that's enough, I think.
Or the time when you stuck a Go Pro to my head
and forced me into the badger sett.
OK, OK, OK, OK.
LOUD BANG Oh, my God! Oh!
Do you want a lift? Do I want a lift?
Now she's offering!
What's the difference between a golf ball and a clitoris?
Whoa, whoa, whoa! A man will actually look for a golf ball!
We've got kids in the back! Right, they hear everything.
No, Ollie, it's actually pronounced the cli-Taurus
the Mitsubishi Clitaurus.
Is it anything like the Outlander?
It's much smaller than the Outlander.
No, this'll be here... This is fine here.
Do you know what? It's a bit chilly so, what I'll do,
I'll get you right round to the entrance.
No, just here will be fine. No, it's fine!
Oh! Oh, for God's sake!
No, it's absolutely... I'm sorry. For God's sake!
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. You big oaf! What did you do that for?
I've got it here. I've got it. It's fine.
It's fine. There we go. Sometimes I could kill her!
Need a hand?
No, no, no, no, no. You sure? It's fine.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with it.
Are you all right?
Oh, Ollie, are you all right? I'm all right.
Hi! Thanks for the help.
Oh, no, you're very welcome.
God! Let me help. You've made me all stressed out.
I know, I know. You're all fingers and thumbs, aren't you?
Oh, my God.
Oh, I can't do this. All right, you're going to be all right.
No, I can't do this. You can. I can't!
You'll be fine. You've got to come in with me. I-I c...

Why were you there that night?
I've...
I've told you. No, you never did tell me why you were there.
Yeah, I have. Nic...

Warm welcome to the professional mourners from the temp agency.
Great job. Um...
I hope you're all enjoying the crisps.
Um... Apologies for Nic's potato salad.
And please don't feel obliged to eat it. It's horrible.
In fact, Mum, can you just get rid of it? Can you bin it?
SHE CLICKS FINGERS Potato salad.
Look, there's two. Get them out.
I always used to play this prank on Alex when we were kids,
where I'd put loads of balloons up and down the stairs,
and then I'd tell him, "It's your birthday!"
And he'd get all excited and he'd be,
"It's my birthday, it's my birthday!"
And then he'd just run down the stairs and burst in
full of excitement into the living room,
and he'd just find Mum sat there watching a clothes show...
And, um...
...I just...
VOICE BREAKS: I just want to say sorry.
I'm sorry. I just, um...

Did you think about Ollie once in the last seven years?
Yeah, of course I have. Of course I have.
No, I just wanted to, um, say,
"Ollie, it's because we're in love with each other, and..."
I can't fucking do this.
