Gotcha!
God! You frightened me to death!
Sorry. I'll forgive you.
I've been waiting! Thought I missed you. I know.
Some dick hid me bag. They're like a bunch of kids.
It's ages since I saw you at dinner!
I looked at the clock - I swear it was going backwards!
ALL: Hooray!
Come on! Speech!
# Here comes the bride 40 inches wide... #
Oh! Cheeky gets!
Kiss for the bride. Go on!
ALL: Hooray!
Shag him! Was this your idea?
Not me! Best man?! Jesus, Jamie!
Could've done better! How do you stop a woman giving you a blow job?
Marry her!
Seriously, Suzie, good luck. You'll need it(!) Thanks!
Here you are - something blue.
Strictly speaking, it's borrowed,
but never mind. Good luck.
Thanks, Freda.
Give us a ring if you get stuck.
Yeah!
Bunch of dicks!
Right, then. Right, then...
What you doing tonight? Dunno. Last night of freedom and all that.
Maybe go out, shag a few birds, get shit-faced...not much. Good plan.
Got to go. I'm late for Ryan. Right.
See you tomorrow. See you tomorrow.
What do you think? Too much? No. You need extra for the photos.
It's a fine line. I don't want to look like a tart.

Got me flowers? Yeah.

Hiya. How is she? All right? Yeah.
Oh...
Bloody hell!
Bloody hell, love.
You look a million dollars!
We'll give you a minute.
Where's that scruffy little redhead I used to know?
I don't know.
Stop it! You'll make me make-up run.
You ready? Car's waiting.
Yeah.
Quick pee, OK? I'll be right out.

I'm sorry, lad.
CAB DRIVER: Couldn't go through with it?
Can't say I blame you. It's a mug's game.
My wife ran off. Did a runner...you know.
Took me best man with her.
I tell you something... I really miss him.
HE LAUGHS
Really miss him! Do you get it?
Why didn't she come? I dunno.
I suppose she must have changed her mind. Why?

Suzie!
Suze! Suzie!
KNOCKING AT DOOR
Suze!
Will you tell him I'm sorry?
Tell him I'm really sorry.
Come here.
All right! All right! I'm coming! Right, see you in a bit.
That was me dad - stressing. Where is she? Having a bath.
Can you stay? Me dad and Eileen are looking after Ryan.
I need to go and help 'em sort stuff out for him. Course. Cheers.
See if you can get any sense out of her.
What happened, Suz?
You love the arse off him.
Thought it was what I wanted.
It is what I wanted.
Couldn't believe it when Jamie proposed.
It was like, wow! I've found someone who loves me -
wants to spend the rest of his life with me. It'd been a while...
..before Jamie, you know.
I hadn't had anyone for ages. The odd shag, but no-one proper.
Single mum, working in a factory - who wants to take that on?
Pour us another, will ya?
Something happened. Last week.
Something really stupid.
I phoned Stuart...Ryan's dad.
I've got his mobile number, for emergencies, but I never see him.
But...I wanted to talk to him.
I wanted to tell him I was getting married.
I dunno. Maybe I wanted to prove something...
Let him know I was sorting myself out.
Anyway, we got talking and...
..I'm running up this phone bill, so we were, like, shall we meet up?
For old times' sake.
Is this going where I think it is? Well...
..it depends where you think it's going.
You didn't sleep with him?
I know, I know. I know it was stupid, but...
..I didn't think it would happen.
We got pissed - that's all!
We had a laugh, we talked about the past.
I didn't think we'd end up shagging! So why did ya?
I don't know.
All right. You shagged an ex the week before your wedding.
It's not great - worse happens.
Why run?
I couldn't go through with it. No-one need have known. I would.
I tried burying it...
..but, today, when it came to going...
..I couldn't do it.
Why did I sleep with Stu?
You know, how could I do it, Hannah?
What sort of person does something like that?
VOICEMAIL: Hi, this is Jamie. I'm on honeymoon,
so leave me a message and I'll call you when I get back. Cheers.
Yeah? Is Jamie here? What's it to you?
Gary... Ever waited for a mate that didn't turn up?
Embarrassing, innit? You're his friend...
Imagine that, times ten. I need to see him.
He don't wanna see you! You can't make me feel any worse!
Gary!
Please! Which bit of that didn't you understand?!
Gary! Gary! Stop being a dick! I need to speak to him!
So...what can I do for you?
I just wanted to say sorry.
Right. Well, now you've said it. I'll see you in work.
Hi, Suzie. Nice of you to show up.
JAMIE AND KEV CHAT AND LAUGH
Hiya.

RADIO PRESENTER: A good one here from Clare. You'll like this one.
It's the five secrets to a great relationship.
What the bleedin' hell are you doing?! He don't want 'em.
So keep 'em, sell 'em, burn 'em...
Then again, it might be better to return 'em.
Right pain in the arse, this, innit?
Been easier just to marry him.
What are you doing? I need to see you. Who is it? No-one!
Pub on the corner. King's Head. Give us ten minutes.
Day of the wedding! You don't do things by halves, do you?
Still, if he weren't right...
You'd have ended up tearing bits out of each other. It's not that.
He's brilliant. So what's this?
What?
This.
I mean, you haven't come for a shoulder to cry on.
Stuart...
..what happened the other night... What about it?
I don't know. It's... It was a shag.
A mistake - we agreed. What? It's that simple?
Yeah! It's that simple!
We got pissed, we got carried away.
You were getting married! I made no promises. I know!
So, what do you want me to say? Nothing!
I dunno. I just thought... What?
What? What did you think I'd say?
Don't let me keep ya!
Where am I supposed to be, Suzie? Who with?
You turn up on me doorstep. I said I'd be half-an-hour.
You better get back, hadn't ya?
Look... You say you love her and then you shag your ex,
but it's all right. It didn't mean anything - just a bit of fun.
Do what you want and stuff the rest. That's you.
We had sex. What do you want me to do? Marry ya?
Bastard!
BRAKES SCREECH
Oi! Watch where you're going you stupid bitch!
Sorry! Sorry!
Stupid cow!
How on form were you last night?
She practically had her hand down his pants. Jailbait, I'm telling ya.
How old was she? 18. Right, tell it to the judge!
I'd have shagged her. You'd shag anyone!
You see, this is what happens.
Let one go and someone else'll snap him up!
Tonight. Get Sam to baby-sit - we're going out.
Can I have...?
Two Stellas, please!
Excuse me!
Excuse me, love.
Two Stellas, please, love.
MUSIC: "Freak Like Me" by The Sugababes
Jesus! I thought I'd be there all night!
He ignored me! I was practically sticking me tits in his face!
He said he didn't see me! So much for me top. Bet he's gay.
Any talent, then? Yeah! If you fancy morons with no dress sense.
Oh, my God! Look! Over my shoulder - there. Look...!
What does he look like?! Someone should tell him!
His mate fell out the ugly tree... And hit every branch going down!
The state of this lot! Jesus!
Do you wanna go somewhere else?
Yeah! Yeah.
HEAVY TECHNO MUSIC
Right, we're off!
Where you going? Home. Sure that's a good idea? Why not?
You've just met him. So? It's not like I'm married, is it?
Shhh!
Stop.
Stop it! Get off! You don't mean it. Pack it in! Get off!
What you on about?
I don't want it. What you doing?
This were your idea. You can't leave me like this. No! Stop it!
Get off! You pick me up, bring me halfway across Manchester,
then you're not up for it. What's going on?
Didn't want you in the first place.
We tossed for you and your mate... I lost.
Get out. I don't know where I am. At least ring us a cab. Get out!
Get out! I'm going! Just get out! Please. Get off!
Prick-teasing bitch!
Oi! Get off her, you!
Sam, leave him!
Sorry.
Mum?
What was that all about? Lover boy?
You want to be careful...
Dickhead like that - anything could have happened.
I fancied him in the club.
We had a laugh.
I was going to shag him.
Sort of bloke I should be with, ain't he?
About my level.
Sort of bloke I deserve.
Here you are, Dad. Phew.
Should be a ten-minute job, but it's full of rocks.
Then she'll get back and wonder why it's taken me all afternoon.
I wish I knew what to say, kid.
I wish I could make it all all right.
It was a lot easier when you were seven.
One big cuddle and everything was fine.
I know it's not been easy, love. Bringing up Ryan,
managing on your own...
but I see other girls your age - the way they behave,
the way they carry on - I think... our Suzie's worth ten of them.
I'm just your daft old man, but...
..I reckon you turned out all right.
I'm proud of ya.
Can we try that cuddle now?
Dent that bonnet, you pay for a new one.
The other night... I was out of order. Forget it.
Look...
I'm sorry. Freaked me out a bit. You caught me off-guard.
Why don't you stay and talk?
I'm going to pick up Ryan from school.
You know? Your son.
Come on, Suz. You don't wanna leave it like this.
What you doing tonight?
I'm busy. Tomorrow, then?
I'm busy.
In fact, come to think about it,
I'm busy for the rest of me life.
What? Come on, Suz. Don't make me get down on me hands and knees.
Can I come in?
Please?
I was a bastard, leaving you and Ryan,
but I had me reasons. Yeah?
Blonde dreadlocks and an enormous pair of tits?
How is Kelly Marie? Do you see much of her these days? I was 21!
I wanted to have a laugh, not sit watching Postman bleeding Pat...
..and his...black and white cat.
Do you think that's what I wanted?
It were your decision. You backed out of the abortion.
Because I loved ya.
Cos I thought - I dunno - that we'd work it out, that we'd cope...
because it was our baby. Me and you.
If I'd known you were going to piss off like that,
I wouldn't have bothered.
It'd be different, you know...
..if we met now.
We were just too young, that's all. We met too young. Mm-hm.
You still do something to me. You know that?
You still have the...effect.
That night. The night we...
Shagged.
The mistake. Yeah.
Except for it wasn't, was it?
It was fantastic.
There's still something between us that Mags and Jamie can't give us.
If you change your mind, you know where I am.
FACTORY KLAXON SOUNDS
I thought I should tell you myself,
rather than...you know, some bigmouth blabbing over there.
So, when are you leaving?
End of the month.
Had a word with Pat. Told her the score.
She said, under the circumstances, I didn't have to work my notice.
It isn't a guilt trip, Suzie.
It makes sense.
Year out...
Clear my head...
Start again.
If it's what you want... It isn't, but, "under the circumstances",
it's the best I can come up with.
You know, you always said you'd go, didn't ya?
Vancouver, Rocky Mountains... It'll be brilliant.
I hoped it'd be with you.
Shall we go somewhere quieter?
Why didn't you come to me?
Talk to me, if you were worried?
We could have talked about it.
You make out everything's OK,
till our wedding day, then, bam! Deal with that!
I'm sorry.
Sorry's not good enough, Suzie.
I feel like I've had the shit kicked out of me.
All I ever wanted was to make you happy.
Put a smile on your face, cos I thought you deserved it.
When you told me about all you'd been through -
with Ryan and your family and all that crap -
I just wanted to look after you.
To put my arms around you.
I miss the fun.
We had such a laugh. Ginger Nut.
Jammy Dodger.
FACTORY KLAXON SOUNDS
I'd best get back.
Hiya. Hiya. What's he done this time? Sorry?
Ryan. You've kept him behind? No. He left with the others.
Call the police. Suzie, let's stay calm.
Think of where... Call the police!
We've had some problems at home.
I was getting married and I didn't - I think he's found it hard.
He's never tried to run away. He just sulks. He's a sulky little sod.
We've got a car searching the area, so if he's gone walkabout,
we'll soon find him. Meantime, I need a list -
friends, family, anywhere you can think he might go. OK?
Ryan?
What are you doing here? Wanted to see you.
Does your mum know you're here?
MOBILE PHONE RINGS
Hello? Hiya. It's me.
Jamie. Hiya.
Listen, I've got a visitor. Oh, thank Christ for that!
Panic over. How long's he been there?
Wish you were still with us. You're not the only one.
It was brilliant before. Now it's just crap.
Listen...
We can still be mates, you and me - if you need to talk about anything.
She's messed it up. Why does she have to mess everything up?
Did you ask her?
Why she didn't marry you?
Sort of...
You know, it's not straightforward. Did she say anything about me dad?
Your dad?
Don't you ever, ever do that again! All right?
Promise me? Promise. You had me worried sick!
Go on! Get inside.
Thanks for bringing him back. Don't mention it. He misses you.
Yeah? He'll have to get used to it.
I'm not his dad - I never will be.
What? Go and look after your son!
Bastard! All right! Don't get your knickers in a twist!
Piss off, Kev!
What you doing? It's him, isn't it?
The ex - why you didn't marry me.
It's him! Not here! Isn't it? That twat! For God's sake, in the back!
What you looking at?
For God's sake! You'll get us sacked! I don't give a shit! I do!
It's him, isn't it? Stuart?
I remember you talking about him. Love of your life!
Doesn't matter that he treated you like shit and walked out on you!
You still love him. It's not about him!
Liar. It isn't! Liar!
Just tell me the truth, Suzie, look me in the eyes
and tell me that bastard has nothing to do with it.
Look at me! Get off me!
Look at me!
It wasn't him, OK? It wasn't you...
It was me.
Bastard.
Bastard! Jamie? I knew it!
Jamie? Listen to me.
Listen to me. I was confused, OK?
I just had all these thoughts going round in my head...and I panicked.
You've shagged him, haven't you?
SHOUTS: Tell me the truth!
Once.
Before the wedding?
Jamie...
..the last thing I ever wanted... Don't. Just... Just don't, Suzie...
..cos it doesn't matter any more.
You know, I look at you and, even now, even after all this shit...
..it's like there's been a mistake!
It's like someone up there has screwed up.
Cos we were meant to be together.
If there was one thing that I was sure of in this life...
..it's that we were meant to be together.
Because I love you...
..more than I've ever loved any one!
I guess I got that wrong.
Sam? Hi, it's Jamie. Listen, mate, I need a favour.
DOORBELL RINGS
Brought a couple of mates to keep you company.
Yes? Is Stuart in?
Hang on. Who is it? Jamie.
Stu! Some bloke here to see ya.
Who is it? Jamie.
What the hell do you want?
Bastard piece of shit!
She not good enough for you? Want your old one, too?
Get off him! You worthless bastard! Oi!
Stuart! Get off!
Stuart! Who is he?! Stuart! Stop it!
You going to piss off and leave this one too, Stuart?
You ruin my life, I'll ruin yours.
Come back again and you are dead!
Who is he? Pack it in!
Get inside! Who is he? Get in!
I didn't give him a second glance.
Well, actually, I give 'em all a second glance...
..but Cathy and Christy had their tongues out after him.
I just thought he was out of my league,
but I got to know him and there was something there.
It's the first time that's ever happened.
Normally, I shag them
and then try finding something to stick around for.
Jamie just sort of crept up on me.
That was the first time since Stuart that I'd been in love.
It just took me over.
I love him, Hannah.
I love him more than I've ever loved any one...
..but I didn't think I was good enough.
I didn't think I deserved him.
Why me? You know?
Why would someone that brilliant want someone like me?
That's why I didn't marry him.
Look, you got some money for Jamie? Yeah, sure. No problem. Cheers.
THEY CHAT
You know tonight - Jamie's leaving do?
What about it? Listen, say if you're bothered, but I feel I should go.
Yeah. No, don't be stupid. You've got to go.
It's fine - honestly.
Suzie!
Phone. Someone called Eileen.
Dad...
What happened?
Me Visa bill came through...
This wedding mess has taken its toll. You saying I've caused this?
He won't say it, cos he treats you like babies.
Night of your wedding, well, supposed wedding...
..I found him in the bathroom, sobbing.
That big man in there - crying like a baby.
Bet he didn't tell you that, did he? No, cos he bottles it up -
never tells you how he's feeling.
Then he worries himself to death!
HEART MONITOR BEEPS
Dad...
..I think I've made the biggest mistake of me life.
Is it too late to put it right?
I don't know.
You better find out, hadn't you?

CHEERING
Hey!
No, you don't! I need to see him. You're not wanted. It's important!
You're not going to ruin this. Let him enjoy his do.
Now, come on. Get off! There's a room full of people who like Jamie.
They know why he's leaving,
so I wouldn't cause a scene. I need to speak to him!
That's not going to happen.
Suzie, it is not the time or place. Let's go.
Hannah, it's Suzie. Listen, I need a really big favour from you.
Thanks - I owe you one. Good luck, darling.
MUSIC: Crash by The Primitives
Jamie!
I've got to talk to you. ..Sorry.
I've got to talk to you. Can we?
Please?
Sorry, I need to go.
Sorry I didn't get dressed up - I didn't think I was coming.
Yeah, well, I'll let you off.
God! I've practised all the way here and now I don't know what to say.
Jamie...
I don't want you to go.
I know I've hurt you, I know I've humiliated you, but I love you.
I love you and I don't want you to go!
I've just been at the hospital.
My dad's had a heart attack.
Is he all right? Mm...
..but I was with him, watching him sleep,
wondering what I'd do if anything happened to him.
There was only one person I wanted there.
Who?
George Clooney.
Oh, Jesus, Suzie!
I was scared to love you.
I was scared to let you in. I was...
..scared. I don't know what I was feeling. And that dickhead - Stuart?
I mean, what was all that about?
He just came along at the wrong moment and made me panic. Oh...
I deserve better than Stuart.
I realise that now.
He's not the person I want to spend the rest of my life with.
You are.
Sneaky bitch! Jamie, I told her not to. Gary, it's all right.
I said you didn't want to see her! It's all right! You sure?
Honest. Just...just leave us.
Don't want to get married on your wedding day -
don't want me to leave at my leaving do.
Tell you what - your timing's bloody awful.
I wish that we'd just got married
and everything had been wonderful,
but it doesn't mean we can't still make this work.
I thought I'd proposed to the most beautiful woman in the world.
Funny...
..sexy, mad as a bloody March hare, but a beautiful, beautiful person.
You've tainted that, Suzie.
I've had to start to hate you - to try and get over you.
I've left my job, I'm leaving the country,
because I couldn't stand the pain of not being with you.
Now you tell me I can have what I wanted all along.
No.
It's booked. I'm looking forward to it. You're running away! Yes, I am!
I'm not like you! My life's been a piece of piss!
I don't know how to deal with this.
I don't know what else to do!
Pretend that this shit never happened.
How can I get past this, Suzie?
How can I forgive you for all that pain?
We take it day by day.
We work at it,
and slowly...
..all this becomes...
..something that just happened.
Something that we got over together.
We can...we can do it...
..because we love each other.
Oh! For God's sake!
Jamie? Kev'll give you 60 quid for that flight. Still going - holiday!
Got another ticket. When for? Next Friday. Still be together by then?
Piss off! If it goes tits up, I'll give you 100 for the pair!
Cheeky git!
Pat Fletcher. That your husband? Roy.
S'cuse me! S'cuse me! Anybody seen Pat Fletcher? Pat Fletcher?
She's looking. Eh? She's looking. She can look all she likes!
It's just your dad. He's gone missing again.
We're back in work. But for how long?
Tell Freda I want to see her.
Wa-hey!
Are you planning redundancies?
We need to know - they're scared!
You're not sacking me?
For once in your life, will you just say you are sorry?
Roy?
Roy!
