00:00:00Oh, that's nice.

00:00:08Are you all right?

00:00:10Yeah, I just feel a bit funny.

00:00:12Why? What's wrong?

00:00:16It's just us being here like this.

00:00:18It'll be the first time I've ever been with someone in Mum's house.

00:00:22Oh, I see.

00:00:24I always thought it'd be with a boyfriend, you know,

00:00:26someone with no dead well than Mike.

00:00:28Oh, so your Mum doesn't like me?

00:00:30No, of course she likes you.

00:00:32It just feels funny being here like this

00:00:34when, well, that Mum doesn't even know

00:00:36that we're going out together.

00:00:38Well, you're the solution to that problem. Tell her.

00:00:40I don't know if it's the right time, though.

00:00:42It's as right a time as it'll ever be.

00:00:44Remember, half your neighbours know about us.

00:00:46How long before one of them tells your Mum?

00:00:48Believe me, Beth,

00:00:50it's far better than news coming from you

00:00:52and from a stranger.

00:00:54Yeah, you're probably right.

00:00:56Well, you look up.

00:00:58Well, just see if they're there.

00:01:00Mmm, that's nice.

00:01:02Beth?

00:01:04Oh my God, it's my Mum.

00:01:08Beth, are you upstairs?

00:01:10What are we going to do?

00:01:11I don't know.

00:01:12Beth, are you in there?

00:01:14Erm, yeah.

00:01:15Mum, me and Chris are just getting ready to go out.

00:01:17We'll be down in a minute.

00:01:18OK, I'll just put the kettle on.

00:01:20Girls, eh?

00:01:26See you soon. Bye.

00:01:30That was Rachel. She's staying at her friends.

00:01:32I'd better go and tell Mum.

00:01:34What now?

00:01:35I thought we were going to my place.

00:01:37Well, it'll only take ten minutes and she'll want to know.

00:01:40I know, I was thinking,

00:01:42if I can get her to one side,

00:01:44I might tell her about me and you.

00:01:45She's at a party.

00:01:46You could choose a better time.

00:01:48I thought I might as well take advantage of a good mood.

00:01:50And you're right.

00:01:51I've got to tell her before she finds out for herself.

00:01:54I couldn't stand another clothes shave like this afternoon.

00:01:56No, me neither.

00:01:58So I've made a decision.

00:02:01I'm going to tell her that I'm gay.

00:02:03In fact,

00:02:04I'm going to tell her now.

00:02:06It didn't. I couldn't find Mum anywhere.

00:02:13Well, you'll just have to tell her your good news another time.

00:02:16Yeah.

00:02:19God.

00:02:21God, I'd really like to tell him where to go.

00:02:23Don't worry about him.

00:02:24Just an old bigot.

00:02:25Yeah, you're right.

00:02:26Not worth bothering about, is he?

00:02:28Do you go back to yours?

00:02:29OK.

00:02:31So what do you think then?

00:02:33What is he?

00:02:34Is that our birthday Chris?

00:02:39Well, it can't be.

00:02:43They're kissing each other.

00:02:54Hi.

00:02:55Hi.

00:02:56Mwah.

00:02:57I'm sorry I didn't come home last night.

00:02:58I went out for a drink with Chris and ended up staying on the couch.

00:03:01I've got a lecture this afternoon, so I've just got time to have a quick bath and get changed.

00:03:08Where are those books left on the unit?

00:03:10Um, I'll put them up in your room.

00:03:12All right, thanks.

00:03:13Do you want to go with tea?

00:03:15No, thanks.

00:03:18Guess what?

00:03:21What?

00:03:22Well, Chris has asked me if I want to go away with her in the summer holidays.

00:03:26It'll be all right with you, won't it?

00:03:28How long for?

00:03:29Well, we don't know yet.

00:03:30We've got to arrange it all.

00:03:32Well, where do you plan on going?

00:03:33All over Europe.

00:03:35Well, how do you plan to afford that?

00:03:36It'll cost a fortune.

00:03:37No, well, it won't be that expensive.

00:03:39We'll just be staying in hostels and that.

00:03:41And Chris said she'll loan me the money if I'm short.

00:03:43Well, you don't want to go getting yourself into debt?

00:03:44No, there's no rush to pay her back.

00:03:48Beth, about Chris...

00:03:51What?

00:03:54Well, the thing is...

00:03:58Do you think it's safe for two young girls to travel around Europe on their own?

00:04:02Mum, of course it will. Everybody does it.

00:04:05And don't worry, I'll be with Chris. You know how sensible she is.

00:04:07I'll be in good hands, won't I?

00:04:09I'll just go and run my bath.

00:04:14So what sort of food...

00:04:15Beth, I need to talk to you.

00:04:18What about?

00:04:21This is very difficult for me.

00:04:24I know...

00:04:25I know about you and Chris.

00:04:30Know what?

00:04:31You know very well what I'm talking about.

00:04:33I know... I know what's been going on.

00:04:35I saw you both kissing at the club the other night.

00:04:38I mean, why didn't you ever tell me?

00:04:41Well, why'd you think?

00:04:44What do you mean that you saw us?

00:04:47How did you find out?

00:04:49Oh, who's that?

00:04:57Well, someone must have told you...

00:04:58It's not important.

00:04:59Well, it may not be to you, but it is to me.

00:05:01I want to know who I can and can't trust.

00:05:04Who was it?

00:05:05Was it...

00:05:06Was it Rachel or Sinbad?

00:05:07How many others know?

00:05:08I mean, why didn't you ever tell me?

00:05:09I didn't think we had any secrets.

00:05:11Now, I want some answers.

00:05:18I've just seen that fella getting his big flash car.

00:05:20Looked like he had a right cob on.

00:05:21What are you doing home?

00:05:22I forgot my chemistry homework.

00:05:23I'll get detention if it's not handed in by this afternoon.

00:05:26I'd better get dressed.

00:05:27I want a word with you.

00:05:28What about...

00:05:29Did you tell Mum about me and Chris?

00:05:30No.

00:05:31Honest?

00:05:32Well, somebody must have told her.

00:05:33Well, it wasn't me.

00:05:34Mum, remember I'm going to Chantelle's after school.

00:05:35Well, make sure you're back by nine.

00:05:36I will.

00:05:37See you.

00:05:38Well, see you.

00:05:39Well, then.

00:05:40Well, then what?

00:05:41When did all this start?

00:05:42I don't know.

00:05:43A few months ago.

00:05:44Why, Beth?

00:05:45Well, why do you think?

00:05:46Why do you think?

00:05:47Why do you think?

00:05:48Why do you think?

00:05:49Why do you think?

00:05:50Why do you think?

00:05:51Why do you think?

00:05:52Why do you think?

00:05:53Why do you think?

00:05:54I want a word with you.

00:05:55I want a word with you.

00:05:56What about...

00:05:57Did you tell Mum about me and Chris?

00:05:59No.

00:06:00Honest?

00:06:01Well, somebody must have told her.

00:06:02Well, it wasn't me.

00:06:03Mum, remember I'm going to Chantelle's after school.

00:06:05Well, why do you think?

00:06:06Well, I don't know.

00:06:08I don't know why you've suddenly turned this way.

00:06:11I mean, you never used to be like this.

00:06:13You've had boyfriends.

00:06:14I mean, what sort of things are they teaching you at university?

00:06:16You don't understand.

00:06:17Oh, no, I don't.

00:06:18I don't think I want to.

00:06:20Well, if that's your attitude.

00:06:22Well, how do you expect me to react?

00:06:24I thought you might try and understand.

00:06:25Oh, and I think about all the time she's had the cheek to come around here.

00:06:28I mean, I used to think she was so nice.

00:06:30I felt safe knowing you were with her and all the time she's...

00:06:32Well, don't go blaming Chris.

00:06:33You didn't force me to go out with her.

00:06:34Well, it's got to stop, Beth.

00:06:35It's got nothing to do with you.

00:06:37For God's sake, apart from anything else, the woman's your teacher.

00:06:40Mum, I'm not in the infants anymore.

00:06:41Can't you see it's not right?

00:06:43I know you've had a hard time, but this isn't the answer.

00:06:46You can say it whatever you like, but it isn't going to change the way I feel.

00:06:51Beth!

00:06:57I thought you were right.

00:06:59I'm revising. I've got exams all this week.

00:07:01Are you still angry with me?

00:07:07I wasn't angry, Beth.

00:07:08You were.

00:07:09No.

00:07:10Not angry.

00:07:11Just upset.

00:07:14Very, very upset.

00:07:16And disappointed.

00:07:18You're disappointed in me.

00:07:20Well, it's not what I'm...

00:07:21I mean, I don't think this is...

00:07:24It's not going to make you happy, is it?

00:07:26Mum, it's made me happier than anything else in my whole life.

00:07:29I knew you'd take it badly.

00:07:37It's a noise. It's a tap-driven.

00:07:42Oh, my God. Quick, get a bucket. I'll see what's happening upstairs.

00:07:47You are the most pig-headed, self-satisfied, stupid, insensitive, self-righteous man I've ever met.

00:07:57What's he done now?

00:07:59I am sorely tempted, Patricia, to slap your father very hard round the head with a lethal object.

00:08:06Why don't you, then?

00:08:08Because he's too thick-headed to even notice.

00:08:12Do you know what he has done?

00:08:15He's separated the entire contents of the fridge into two piles.

00:08:19His pile, my pile.

00:08:21He is currently working his way through the vegetable rack.

00:08:24And we now own three and a half carats each.

00:08:27I'm amazed he hasn't taken out the tape measure and it is not funny.

00:08:32Oh, I'm sorry.

00:08:34I mean, how long is he going to keep this up, for God's sake?

00:08:39Mum?

00:08:40This girl, was there something in it?

00:08:45I don't know, Patricia. I don't know what might have happened if Jane had stayed around.

00:08:49Probably nothing.

00:08:51But things aren't as cut and dried as your father makes out.

00:08:54Oh.

00:08:57Now I've shocked you, haven't I?

00:08:59No.

00:09:01It's always strange discovering your parents have got a past.

00:09:05I remember your grandmother once telling me that...

00:09:06Oh, Patricia? Mrs Crosby?

00:09:08Hi.

00:09:12You don't know any good plumbers, do you?

00:09:13All the ones we've tried have got is massive call-out charges.

00:09:16What a plumber?

00:09:17Are you serious?

00:09:18Well, there's a leak and there's water pouring through the kitchen ceiling.

00:09:20Well, what about Simbad? He could probably fix it for you.

00:09:22Oh, erm...

00:09:23Well, shall I go and see if he's in?

00:09:24No, cos he's out.

00:09:26Well, have you tried turning the water up at the mains?

00:09:28Oh.

00:09:29What about Mr Hobbs? He's very reasonable.

00:09:31Highfield Lane. You'll find him in the book.

00:09:32Oh, OK. Thanks. Bye-bye.

00:09:34Are you sure I'll send us out?

00:09:35Yes.

00:09:37Listen, put the kettle on. We'll have a coffee.

00:09:39It won't be a sec.

00:09:41I could do with ten minutes of sanity before I face your father again.

00:09:46Well, he's coming as soon as he's got this other job out of the way.

00:09:50The ceiling's all right, mess.

00:09:53Well, it's one thing after another.

00:09:55It never stops, does it?

00:09:56The people who live in the flat above Chris like the bath overflow ones.

00:09:59The whole ceiling came down on the bed.

00:10:04So...

00:10:06Mum, I can't not talk about her.

00:10:09I really, really like her.

00:10:11Well, you really, really like Peter Harrison.

00:10:13No, I didn't, not really.

00:10:14Yes, you did. You were crazy about him.

00:10:16This is just...

00:10:17I don't know what it is.

00:10:19But you've just decided, because of what happened with your dad,

00:10:21because Peter turned out to be a rapist,

00:10:23that you don't want anything more to do with men.

00:10:24It's not like that at all.

00:10:26Well, that's what it looks like to me.

00:10:28It looks like you're playing around pretending to be something you're not,

00:10:31because you're scared of getting involved with another man.

00:10:35Why don't you use the right word, Mum?

00:10:38Go on, say it. Say lesbian.

00:10:40No.

00:10:41Lesbian.

00:10:42I won't say it because I don't believe that's what you are.

00:10:45Mum, it isn't just an anti-man thing.

00:10:47It's got nothing to do with Dad.

00:10:51It just feels right with women.

00:10:54I like women.

00:10:55Well, how do you know? You can't say that.

00:10:57I almost have done.

00:10:58No, but listen.

00:10:59Everybody does.

00:11:01Before your dad, I had loads of very close girlfriends.

00:11:03I mean, look at you and Margaret.

00:11:04Mum.

00:11:06Margaret and me.

00:11:07Well, that's a perfect example of what I mean.

00:11:09I'm not talking about friendship.

00:11:11That's not what I mean.

00:11:14Chris and I...

00:11:16You mean sex.

00:11:18I mean gentleness and tenderness.

00:11:22And total understanding.

00:11:26You never got much gentleness from Dad, did you?

00:11:29Or happiness.

00:11:30Not the sort of happiness that me and Chris give each other.

00:11:42America rolling, isn't it?

00:11:44Well, we should be okay now.

00:11:47Do you want a sandwich or something for your dinner?

00:11:49No, I'm not very hungry, thanks.

00:11:51No, not me.

00:11:54Does the university know that Chris is gay?

00:11:56Mum, don't start blaming Chris again.

00:11:58Well, I'm sorry, but I do blame her.

00:12:00It's not on somebody in her position, going around seducing students.

00:12:03She didn't seduce me.

00:12:04Of course she did.

00:12:05She must have put the idea into your head.

00:12:07No, she didn't because I was on...

00:12:09I was already feeling...

00:12:11Look, it wasn't Chris's fault.

00:12:13Well, whose was it then?

00:12:14Who did put the idea into your head?

00:12:18The what...

00:12:20Was there somebody else before Chris?

00:12:24Was there?

00:12:26No.

00:12:27What was that?

00:12:28No, I've just told you.

00:12:29There was no one.

00:12:30Now, will you stop going on about Chris?

00:12:38Now, come in.

00:12:43Stop leaking.

00:12:45God.

00:12:46I'm not handling this very well, am I?

00:12:49Sorry.

00:12:52I just can't get my head around it.

00:12:56I suppose that's why Rachel was asking all those questions about...

00:13:00Well, about...

00:13:01Lesbians.

00:13:03Was it?

00:13:05Yeah.

00:13:06I thought...

00:13:07Well...

00:13:08I always thought I was liberal about these things.

00:13:22You know, it's okay what anyone does as long as they don't hurt anybody else.

00:13:26But it does hurt.

00:13:28It hurts me and I'm scared it's going to end up hurting you.

00:13:32Mum...

00:13:34You can't protect me from everything.

00:13:36I've managed to protect you from anything yet, have I?

00:13:38Mum.

00:13:40I don't mean it.

00:13:44Your dad's still managing to ruin your life, isn't he?

00:13:48No.

00:13:50It's got nothing to do with him.

00:13:52My life's brilliant, honest.

00:13:53Do you hold hands with Chris?

00:14:04Mm-hmm.

00:14:07And Kirsten sleep together.

00:14:14The thing that scares me, and I know you say it's got nothing to do with your dad, but I don't believe that.

00:14:19And I'm scared you're going to wake up ten years down the line and realise this was just a phase.

00:14:24But it isn't.

00:14:25No, listen, Emma, it'll be too late.

00:14:27Too late for what?

00:14:28Too late to...

00:14:30I don't know, to just start your life again along the right lines.

00:14:36I just imagined you'd graduate, have this brilliant career, and...

00:14:43and then somebody very special would come along.

00:14:45Well, she already has.

00:14:46No, a man.

00:14:48And then there'd be babies.

00:14:54I never see you babies, will I?

00:14:59Don't you think about that?

00:15:00Don't you want children?

00:15:03I don't know.

00:15:04I always imagined I'd make your wedding dress for you.

00:15:11You know, sometimes, when it was bad with your dad, I used to dream about your wedding day.

00:15:18I used to think it'll be better for Beth.

00:15:22It'll be everything it's supposed to be for Beth.

00:15:26Mum, people who are gay, they do have long and happy relationships, just... just like marriages and just as good.

00:15:34Oh, do they?

00:15:35Well, it doesn't look that way to me.

00:15:38It looks like they always have to lie about what they are and cope with all that prejudice.

00:15:42I don't want that for you.

00:15:44I don't want you to land up the weird woman down the road who lives with a butch friend and ten cats, the one the kids laugh at and everyone feels sorry for.

00:15:52Please, don't get upset.

00:15:56It just means unhappiness for you.

00:15:59I know it shouldn't, but that's how it is.

00:16:05I didn't make the world.

00:16:07It means you've cut yourself off from all the happy normal things.

00:16:19Where did I go wrong?

00:16:22We aim to please.

00:16:32Bye.

00:16:33Bye-bye.

00:16:35Did you read the small print?

00:16:38Yeah, of course I did. I'm not stupid.

00:16:40Good.

00:16:41Oh, and you don't have to worry about meals for me over the weekend, because I'll be away.

00:16:46Where?

00:16:47London.

00:16:49Who with?

00:16:50Chris, we're going.

00:16:51Oh, no.

00:16:53Mum?

00:16:54No, I'm sorry.

00:16:55It's been planned for ages.

00:16:56What's this woman done to you?

00:16:57It's like she's put some kind of spell on you.

00:17:00But please, please don't go to London with her.

00:17:03Stay here and think things through.

00:17:04I don't need to think, I know.

00:17:07We're going to London together for the weekend, and if you can't accept that, if you can't accept what I am, then there's no point even talking about it anymore, is there?

00:17:14I might as well just move in with her.

00:17:16Please, Beth, this is ridiculous.

00:17:17I'm about to pick it up after you, Nick.

00:17:18I don't want you going to London with her.

00:17:19Her name's Chris.

00:17:20You're going to get hurt.

00:17:21Mum, I've got an exam this morning.

00:17:22Don't you think I've got enough to worry about as it is?

00:17:23I just don't want you going off for the weekend with her.

00:17:24Well, I'm going, whether you like it or not.

00:17:29Oh, come on.

00:17:31OK.

00:17:33How are you going to keep in mind?

00:17:34Come on, am I going to keep going?

00:17:36Please, Beth, this is ridiculous.

00:17:37I'm about to pick it up after you, Nick.

00:17:38I don't want you going to London with her.

00:17:40Her name's Chris.

00:17:41You're going to get hurt.

00:17:42Mum, I've got an exam this morning.

00:17:45Don't you think I've got enough to worry about as it is?

00:17:47I just don't want you going off for the weekend with her.

00:17:50Well, I'm going, whether you like it or not.

00:18:54You'd ruin everything, didn't you?

00:18:55No, it's not like that.

00:18:56Beth!

00:18:58Do you realise how important this exam is to her?

00:19:00Yeah, well, I'm sorry.

00:19:02I didn't plan on seeing her.

00:19:03I was just hoping to have a quiet word with you.

00:19:05Well, you couldn't have chosen a worse time.

00:19:08Okay.

00:19:08When will you be free?

00:19:09Not for a while yet.

00:19:11That's all right.

00:19:11I'm in no hurry.

00:19:12I'll wait.

00:19:13Right, then.

00:19:14You'd better wait in my office.

00:19:25Sit down.

00:19:26I'd rather stand.

00:19:27I'm not sure what you hope to achieve by coming down here like this.

00:19:35You've probably ruined Beth's chances of passing that exam.

00:19:38I think if anybody's ruining my daughter's life, it's you.

00:19:40That's not true.

00:19:42She was a normal, healthy girl until you came along.

00:19:44She's a normal, healthy girl.

00:19:45I mean, what do you think you're playing at, taking her to London for some dirty weekend?

00:19:49We're just going to visit some friends of mine, that's all.

00:19:53Well, it's not on.

00:19:54I won't allow it.

00:19:55Look, I appreciate how difficult this must be for you,

00:19:59but you've got to accept that Beth and I are having a relationship, a normal relationship.

00:20:04I haven't got to accept any such thing.

00:20:06Beth doesn't need this.

00:20:07She needs your support.

00:20:08She needs you to try and understand.

00:20:10What I understand is that you've taken advantage of an innocent young girl.

00:20:14Beth's an adult.

00:20:15She knows her own mind.

00:20:16She'd been wanting to tell you the truth for ages.

00:20:18She was just too scared.

00:20:20Now I can see why.

00:20:21Well, you must have persuaded her.

00:20:23You must have talked her into it.

00:20:24Oh, that's not true.

00:20:27How can you talk someone into being gay?

00:20:30But before you came along, she had boyfriends and everything.

00:20:32How do you explain that?

00:20:33Oh, sure.

00:20:34She must have been very confused.

00:20:36Well, you're the one who's confused.

00:20:37You're the one who's made her feel it's normal to be like you.

00:20:39That's not true.

00:20:40When I first met Beth, she was on the verge of splitting up with Margaret.

00:20:42That's how I got to know her.

00:20:43She used to come and talk to me about their problems.

00:20:45What?

00:20:48Beth and Margaret?

00:20:52Oh.

00:20:54I don't believe this.

00:20:57I'm sorry.

00:21:00But there's no use trying to lay the blame on me.

00:21:02Beth had discovered her sexuality long before I came on the scene.

00:21:05There's nothing you or anyone else can do to change that.

00:21:08Beth, is that you?

00:21:26Beth?

00:21:26Don't mind me.

00:21:27I'm going to come back for this for the weekend.

00:21:28No, you're not going.

00:21:29Hey, Almond, you can't stop me.

00:21:31Please, Beth, you can't go.

00:21:32We need to talk.

00:21:33Oh, well, I think you've said all I need to hear.

00:21:35Well, please, Beth, stay here.

00:21:36Why should I?

00:21:37You made it perfectly clear what you think of me.

00:21:39You've ruined my exams, and not only that, you had to go and humiliate me in front of Chris and the whole university.

00:21:44You've ruined everything, Mum.

00:21:46Well, when will you be back?

00:21:47Well, I don't know, because the way I'm feeling now, I may never be back.

00:21:50And you'll only have yourself to blame.

00:21:58Hello, love.

00:22:00Hi.

00:22:01You all right?

00:22:03Yeah, fine.

00:22:05I was hoping you'd be back.

00:22:09Yeah, well, I only went away for the weekend.

00:22:11What do you think was to sell me off to the white slave trade?

00:22:14Well, I was worried about you, that's all.

00:22:15Mum, there's no need.

00:22:18What happened about your exam?

00:22:20I'll probably have to do it again.

00:22:22Sorry.

00:22:24No, it don't matter.

00:22:25If I'm good enough, I'll pass the recent.

00:22:27That's the end of the story.

00:22:31Look, Beth.

00:22:32Are you off out?

00:22:34Oh, I'm meant to tell her, but it can wait.

00:22:35No, go.

00:22:37But we need to talk.

00:22:38Mum, please, just leave it.

00:22:39I'm not in the mood, OK?

00:22:40OK.

00:22:50All that...

00:22:53Oh, time was a shocker.

00:22:57Did you buy anything nice?

00:22:59Oh, just material and sewing stuff.

00:23:02Mm-hm.

00:23:02You haven't unpacked, then?

00:23:05No, not yet.

00:23:07Well, I'll do it for you, if you like.

00:23:08No, it's all right.

00:23:08I'll do it myself when I'm ready.

00:23:10Mum, I'll do it myself when I'm ready.

00:23:13Please don't make this any harder than it already is.

00:23:15Any harder for who?

00:23:17For you?

00:23:18Or what about me?

00:23:20Just unpack your bag and we'll...

00:23:21Mum, I'll unpack when I'm sure I want to stay.

00:23:25Well, where else are you going to go?

00:23:27I've got places.

00:23:29Your friend's house.

00:23:30Well, maybe, yeah.

00:23:31Why, have you got a problem with that?

00:23:33Actually, I've got a problem with you lying to me.

00:23:35I haven't lied to anybody.

00:23:37Mum, how could I tell you about Chris?

00:23:39I mean, look at all the trouble it's caused.

00:23:40Who said anything about Chris?

00:23:41You did.

00:23:42No, this Chris thing's bad enough.

00:23:43I'm talking about Margaret.

00:23:47What?

00:23:47I'm talking about somebody who lived under our roof,

00:23:50who ate our food, who I trusted.

00:23:52But, Mum...

00:23:52I mean, I think back and it all falls into place.

00:23:55A bit of a game, was it, all this carrying on behind my back?

00:23:57Did you have a good laugh at me?

00:23:58No, it wasn't like that.

00:23:59I thought of the pair of you in our home doing...

00:24:02well, doing whatever it is you do.

00:24:04Mum, Margaret was my friend.

00:24:06Oh, you sleep with all your friends, do you?

00:24:09Yeah, that's right.

00:24:10Friends, family, anybody will do.

00:24:13Beth, I didn't...

00:24:14You just can't cope with it, can you?

00:24:15If you'd show me one ounce of understanding, I'd have stayed back.

00:24:19I'm sorry.

00:24:21I can't live here anymore.

00:24:23Bye.

00:24:31Have you been...

00:24:32Working.

00:24:33Marking.

00:24:35I tried.

00:24:36I really tried.

00:24:39Hey, come on.

00:24:41What's happened?

00:24:43She just wouldn't listen to me.

00:24:45Shh.

00:24:47I don't know what I'm going to do, but I can't go back there.

00:24:50It's okay.

00:24:53Can I stay here with you tonight?

00:24:55You'll be all right.

00:24:57Yeah.

00:24:58Of course you can.

00:24:59Ta-da!

00:25:07Breakfast is served, madame.

00:25:08What's this, Aneda?

00:25:09Watch the pen paper.

00:25:12It all looks lovely.

00:25:14Good.

00:25:16There was no need.

00:25:17I'm just doing my bit.

00:25:19You don't have to do your bit.

00:25:20You're a guest.

00:25:21Oh, is that all I am?

00:25:23You know what I mean.

00:25:24Right, now.

00:25:26Tuck in or your croissants will go cold.

00:25:32Dear me.

00:25:34Is that a bad one?

00:25:35Miserable failure, am I pray.

00:25:37Saving my place at the races.

00:25:39I suppose I should shake her leg and get into work.

00:25:42Yeah, me too.

00:25:43I'd better do some revision just in case.

00:25:45Want a lift?

00:25:46Yeah, thanks.

00:25:48Chris.

00:25:48Hmm?

00:25:49Is it okay if I unpack my stuff?

00:25:52Of course.

00:25:52There's a big crease to hell in there.

00:25:54Oh, thanks.

00:25:55And can I do a quick wash?

00:25:56Why don't you go treat the place as your own?

00:25:59So.

00:26:00Made up your mind then?

00:26:02Definitely not going back to your mum's.

00:26:04No.

00:26:05Are you going to cope with all that freedom?

00:26:07Sorry?

00:26:08Having your own flat.

00:26:11Um.

00:26:13I hadn't really thought about it.

00:26:16Useless.

00:26:17I know.

00:26:18So, why do you fancy living?

00:26:20Mind the part?

00:26:21I don't know.

00:26:23Well, I'll come flat hunting with you if you like.

00:26:25Take a dare from this lot.

00:26:29Well, I'm going to have to find somewhere really cheap.

00:26:32Free, in fact.

00:26:34The thing is, I'm skint.

00:26:35I haven't got any money.

00:26:38I can't even afford to pay my rent till my next grant check comes through.

00:26:42So, what's the general plan of action?

00:26:45I don't know.

00:26:46I hope that wasn't what breakfast in bed was for this morning,

00:26:49trying to butter up a prospective landlady.

00:26:52No, as if.

00:26:55I'm just going to have to find the money and get a few part-time jobs.

00:26:57I'll start looking for a flat today.

00:27:02You're skint.

00:27:03You're skint.

00:27:04You have to do this reset.

00:27:06There's no point in wasting time washing dishes.

00:27:09Well, what do you think I should do, then?

00:27:12You can stay here with me for the summer.

00:27:15Really?

00:27:16Oh, that would be brilliant!

00:27:19No, Nicky, my make-up.

00:27:20No Australian telly.

00:27:21And no boffing in birds.

00:27:22Whatever you say.

00:27:24As soon as that grant check arrives.

00:27:32Lucia, five minutes.

00:27:34Now, get to the line and get sorted.

00:27:36Yes, sir.

00:27:38See you later.

00:27:39Thanks.

00:27:40Oh, I'm going to drown in all this gratitude.

00:27:43No, I really appreciate it on this day.

00:27:45Believe it or not, I actually enjoy being with you.

00:27:47Yeah, you're coming through the summer now.

00:27:49Whether I like it or not.

00:27:50Well, you never know.

00:27:51If things go well, we might decide that

00:27:53living together is a good idea.

00:27:58Did I say the wrong thing?

00:28:00I don't think you're getting a bit ahead of yourself.

00:28:07Sorry?

00:28:08You know how much I think of you.

00:28:10But nobody said anything about a permanent set-up.

00:28:14I know.

00:28:15On top of that, do you want to get me the sack?

00:28:17Because there's people in this place

00:28:19who'd like nothing more than to stick the knife in

00:28:21with some half-baked accusation

00:28:23about me corrupting students.

00:28:26I didn't think.

00:28:28Let's just slow down here.

00:28:31There's no rush.

00:28:34Right.

00:28:36Library.

00:28:37Hi.

00:28:53I thought you were at med school one morning.

00:28:55I had to thought to come home.

00:28:56Well, I was going to go and pick up some clothes and stuff

00:29:00for my mum's butt.

00:29:01What about a change of plan?

00:29:02I could go out for the day instead.

00:29:03Can I have some of this?

00:29:04No, thanks.

00:29:06Well, what about it?

00:29:08I could go to a picnic somewhere.

00:29:09Sorry, I can't.

00:29:10I have to go back into work.

00:29:12Well, they just got home.

00:29:15What's the matter?

00:29:16I was going to phone you, but I couldn't.

00:29:20And I wanted to be with you when I told you.

00:29:23I asked Peter Johnson about your anatomy paper.

00:29:27I'm sorry, Beth, you failed.

00:29:30God.

00:29:32What am I going to do?

00:29:33You did know you weren't going to do as well as you thought.

00:29:35You know I'd have passed.

00:29:37It was mum coming into the university that day.

00:29:39God, why did she have to do it?

00:29:40It's not the end of the world.

00:29:42It's only one paper.

00:29:43Well, can you fix it for me, then?

00:29:46Sorry.

00:29:47You know I'd have passed if I hadn't have walked out the exam.

00:29:51Can't you just change me to a pass mark?

00:29:52I mean, it's not like I'm incapable of passing.

00:29:54You know that.

00:29:55Oh, come off it.

00:29:56Are you mad?

00:29:57Put it out?

00:29:57It's out of the question.

00:29:59Well, surely no one would know.

00:30:01I'd know.

00:30:02It's totally unprofessional.

00:30:04It's immature to even think because we have a relationship,

00:30:05I could risk my whole career for some ridiculous favour.

00:30:08But it's my anatomy paper and I failed it.

00:30:10What else can I do?

00:30:10The same as everyone else.

00:30:12Recent in September.

00:30:14Yeah, right.

00:30:15And then spend the whole summer revising.

00:30:17That's the way it is.

00:30:18Yeah.

00:30:20We need to get used to the idea.

00:30:29She actually asked me to come here with us.

00:30:31Well, I'm staying at Chris's.

00:30:33She's invited me for as long as I want to stay.

00:30:35Do you have to live there?

00:30:37Sleep there.

00:30:38Yes, I do.

00:30:39Look, if you come home, I promise I won't mention her.

00:30:42And you can still see her out there.

00:30:44Mum, I'm nearly 19.

00:30:45I can do what I want.

00:30:47Well, do you have to take all your things with you?

00:30:49Anyway, it's holidays.

00:30:50Why do you need books?

00:30:51I failed my anatomy paper.

00:30:52That's why.

00:30:53Oh, Beth.

00:30:54I've got to do a resit now, thanks to you.

00:30:58Well, you knew I'd fail when you came in and interrupted me that day.

00:31:00Why did you do it?

00:31:03You had no right to interfere.

00:31:04It's no wonder I failed.

00:31:06Well, maybe you wouldn't have passed anyway, love.

00:31:08I mean, you didn't exactly do this revision, did you?

00:31:09No, I wouldn't have passed because Chris said I would have passed.

00:31:11I'm sorry, Beth.

00:31:13Look, if you've got to do more revision, why don't you come back here for a few weeks?

00:31:17No, I'm going back to the flat.

00:31:19Please, Beth.

00:31:20I'm sorry about what I did that day.

00:31:22But you have to understand how upset I am about all this.

00:31:26I was so upset, I didn't realise that I was going to spoil your exam.

00:31:31Well, where are you going?

00:31:33To get some more clothes.

00:31:53Oh, please, Beth.

00:31:55Don't go.

00:31:56Mum, I'm sick of arguing about it.

00:31:58I just want you to think things through.

00:32:00But let's sit down and talk about it.

00:32:02There's nothing to talk about.

00:32:03You've got to accept the fact that me and Chris are together now.

00:32:06But for how long?

00:32:07Well, for good as far as we're concerned.

00:32:09Does she say that?

00:32:11Can I pass on my case, please?

00:32:13I don't want to see you hurt, Beth.

00:32:15I mean, what if she gets tired of you?

00:32:18Well, that's the risk anyone has to take when you're going to a relationship.

00:32:20It doesn't matter whether they're male or female.

00:32:22I know what I'm doing.

00:32:23Just stay here tonight and we'll talk about it.

00:32:27No.

00:32:29I'll read you, OK?

00:32:31Look, to tell you the truth, I'm not too happy about you getting close to anyone.

00:32:34Well, I won't tell anyone about Dad if that's what you mean.

00:32:37I know, love, but I want you here.

00:32:39Is that what it's always going to be like?

00:32:41Even if I meet a man, you're still going to be saying the same thing?

00:32:43Because of what we did, because of him out there, I've got to stay here.

00:32:47Just worry, that's all.

00:32:49Well, I'm not having that.

00:32:50It's just emotional blackmail.

00:32:51I'm not having you holding that over me forever and ever.

00:32:56You've got to like your name, Sue.

00:32:58I hope I'm not disturbing you.

00:33:00Would you excuse me a moment, please?

00:33:01I'll catch up with you later.

00:33:02I'll be in the office.

00:33:05I'd like to talk to you, but...

00:33:07Oh, perhaps I could wait until you're finished for the day.

00:33:09Well, actually, I am rather busy, but...

00:33:12Shall we go for a walk?

00:33:14Outside?

00:33:15I take it you've come to talk about Beth?

00:33:18Oh, yes.

00:33:20I mean, I should have been too...

00:33:22I'd like you to finish things with Beth.

00:33:24Seems a bit of a nod request.

00:33:27Well, I think this...

00:33:28This relationship you and Beth have, I think that's odd.

00:33:31Some people might think so, lots don't.

00:33:35I know it's been a shock for you finding out Beth's gay.

00:33:38Yeah, she's only 18.

00:33:39She might think she is.

00:33:41Well, I've talked to her as well, Mrs. Jawdash.

00:33:43I believe Beth knows exactly what she is.

00:33:45Yeah, but it's wrong.

00:33:47She's too young for you.

00:33:49I mean, even if she was seen a lad of your age, I'd still feel the same.

00:33:52I wonder.

00:33:53I mean it.

00:33:54She's very young.

00:33:55She's very sensitive.

00:33:57That's one of the things I like about her.

00:33:58I don't want to see her hurt.

00:33:59I can't see any reason for her getting hurt.

00:34:01Things are very good between us.

00:34:04I'm very fond of Beth.

00:34:06She's attractive, intelligent.

00:34:09Then can't you leave her alone?

00:34:12If you think as much of her as you say, let her go.

00:34:15Give her time to think about how she is.

00:34:17Let her grow a bit more.

00:34:19It's because I'm so fond of her that I want me and Beth to stay together.

00:34:22Even if she gets hurt?

00:34:24You're worrying too much.

00:34:26Am I?

00:34:26How many young girls do you meet in your job?

00:34:30Must be hundreds.

00:34:32How long before someone else takes you, I?

00:34:35Have you done this sort of thing before?

00:34:37God, you make me sound like some sort of predatory pervert.

00:34:41I have no intention of giving up, Beth.

00:34:46Now, perhaps I can get on with my work.

00:34:49Do the people in charge here, your bosses, do they know you're a Lentian?

00:34:53This is a university.

00:34:55I think you'll find the people here far from narrow-minded, even when it comes to gays.

00:35:00You didn't answer the question.

00:35:01Of course they know.

00:35:02I'm completely open about it.

00:35:04I hope you're not thinking of getting what you want by some sort of blackmail.

00:35:07Well, I wouldn't do a thing like that.

00:35:10I was just wondering what the bosses would think of you carrying on with a student.

00:35:14Is there's no law about being involved with a student?

00:35:18But what if they thought the relationship was affecting her work?

00:35:20I mean, I think it is.

00:35:22She's already filed one exam paper.

00:35:24Yes, but that wasn't anything to do with me.

00:35:27Wasn't it?

00:35:28I think it's got a lot to do with you.

00:35:32Uh, here we go.

00:35:34Hi.

00:35:36You were quick.

00:35:38Yeah, well, I didn't want to hang around to get embarrassed.

00:35:41The exam results were up on the notice board.

00:35:43It's all official now.

00:35:44I failed.

00:35:45You'll get it next time.

00:35:47I just feel such an idiot.

00:35:49There's no need.

00:35:49It happens to lots of students.

00:35:52Don't need to drag you down.

00:35:54But I've never failed an exam before, ever.

00:35:57I wanted everything to be perfect.

00:35:59You'll get there.

00:36:01Don't worry.

00:36:01You know, it's so annoying.

00:36:03One paper flunked.

00:36:05No, I'm not going to let it get me down.

00:36:06One paper to reset.

00:36:09I can do it, can't I?

00:36:10Good.

00:36:13Perhaps, uh, we could have a talk about the future.

00:36:17Well, just let me get a coffee first, all right?

00:36:19All right.

00:36:19Oh, hang on.

00:36:21I forgot.

00:36:23I got something for you.

00:36:25What is it?

00:36:26Well, open it and see.

00:36:30Thank you, Carl.

00:36:32Yeah.

00:36:33Thanks for letting me stay in there from Newton for me.

00:36:38It's lovely.

00:36:40Thanks, Pearl.

00:36:42So what is it you wanted to talk about?

00:36:44The future?

00:36:45It doesn't matter.

00:36:46Who wants to talk about exams and stuff?

00:36:48I'm going to do it right.

00:37:02Beth?

00:37:04No, no, come in.

00:37:05It's a surprise.

00:37:06Oh.

00:37:06Can we get you anything?

00:37:10Can you get me a cup of coffee?

00:37:11One coffee coming up.

00:37:13And no peeping, okay?

00:37:14Okay.

00:37:16I mean it, no peeping.

00:37:21Cool, then.

00:37:22I've decided I'm not going to start mowing with our fellow mowing after the paper.

00:37:30It's the summer holidays and we're going to enjoy ourselves.

00:37:33Well, what do you think?

00:37:35It's another thanks for letting me stay.

00:37:39Hey, what's the matter?

00:37:43Chris?

00:37:44I'm sorry, Beth.

00:37:46I think you'd better call it a day.

00:37:49What?

00:37:50I think it's better if we split up.

00:37:52I'd like you to pass over the leaves by the morning.

00:37:54Chrissie, no.

00:38:00I'm sorry, Beth.

00:38:02But we both knew it wouldn't last forever.

00:38:05Chris, don't be like this.

00:38:07You said you loved me.

00:38:09You said you wanted me.

00:38:10I'm sorry, Beth.

00:38:11I do have strong feelings for you, but I don't love you.

00:38:17It's much better to finish now.

00:38:20But you did love me.

00:38:21What's changed?

00:38:22Please, Beth.

00:38:23Just let it go.

00:38:24Accept it.

00:38:24Please.

00:38:25Is there someone else?

00:38:28Tell me.

00:38:28Is it somebody else?

00:38:31Is it?

00:38:31No, Beth.

00:38:32No, it isn't.

00:38:34Well, what is it then?

00:38:38Chris, please.

00:38:40Don't do this to me.

00:38:41I can't stand it.

00:38:43I can't stand it.

00:38:44Chris, please.

00:38:55Yours?

00:38:56Yeah.

00:38:57It's in the bathroom.

00:38:58Thanks.

00:39:00Beth.

00:39:02I'm sorry.

00:39:03I really am.

00:39:04You still haven't said why.

00:39:07Believe me, it just wouldn't have worked.

00:39:09Well, why not?

00:39:11Why so sudden?

00:39:12Because of who we are, because of what we are.

00:39:16I don't understand.

00:39:17I'm a lot older than you, Beth.

00:39:19So what?

00:39:19You knew that when we first started going out.

00:39:21I know, but that's just it.

00:39:22We should never have let it go this far.

00:39:24You must have realized there was never any real future in it.

00:39:27I thought you even let me move in.

00:39:34I know, but it was only for the summer, not forever.

00:39:39I'm sorry.

00:39:43I see.

00:39:44So I was just a bit on the side for you, was I?

00:39:47Another notch on your bedhead.

00:39:48It wasn't like that.

00:39:49A naive little student you could just use whenever you felt like it.

00:39:52You know, I've never thought that of you.

00:39:53You know that.

00:39:54But suddenly I'm too young for you.

00:39:55It's better this way, believe me.

00:39:59You've got your whole life ahead of you.

00:40:02You'll get over this.

00:40:03Oh, where?

00:40:04And what about my mum?

00:40:06What about everybody else I'm upset?

00:40:09I left my home.

00:40:11I left my own family for you.

00:40:15Beth?

00:40:21Hiya, love.

00:40:23Hi.

00:40:23I wasn't expecting you.

00:40:27Are you back to stay?

00:40:30Well, I had nowhere else to go.

00:40:32Oh, this is still your home, love.

00:40:35Are you going to be all right?

00:40:40Yeah.

00:40:42Oh, can I get you anything?

00:40:47Right, I'll let you unpack then.

00:40:49She dumped me, mum.

00:40:55Chris dumped me.

00:40:57Oh, love.

00:41:00Last night, she just told me to go.

00:41:03I'm sorry.

00:41:05It was just out of the blue.

00:41:07So she didn't say why she was finishing it.

00:41:12I didn't know she just gave me some stupid excuses.

00:41:15I see.

00:41:18I don't understand.

00:41:20I know, love.

00:41:23But maybe it's for the best day for everyone.

00:41:28Yeah, that's just what Chris said.

00:41:29But why, mum?

00:41:31Why does she have to finish it?

00:41:38You know, I don't know.

00:41:42Hi, love.

00:41:44How are you feeling?

00:41:46No.

00:41:46Did you sleep?

00:41:50The kettle's just boiled.

00:41:52Do you want a coffee?

00:41:53Please.

00:41:55Must be hungry.

00:41:57No, I couldn't eat anything.

00:41:59Oh, just a sandwich or something.

00:42:02I feel so stupid, mum.

00:42:07I believed everything she told me,

00:42:10like some stupid little schoolgirl.

00:42:13Don't be too hard on yourself, love.

00:42:14I trusted her and I stuck up for her and everything.

00:42:19But then she just turned around and dumps me for no reason.

00:42:22Oh, come on, Beth.

00:42:23Try not to upset yourself.

00:42:26I'm sorry, but...

00:42:28Why?

00:42:29What for?

00:42:30Because I've let you down.

00:42:32I've let you and Rachel down.

00:42:33I just walked out and left you for Chris.

00:42:35I'm so sorry.

00:42:39It's all right, love.

00:42:41It's all forgotten now.

00:42:44What do you reckon?

00:42:46Can I come in for a minute?

00:42:47What for?

00:42:48To talk.

00:42:50Beth, we've been through all this.

00:42:51I'm sorry.

00:42:52But you haven't said why.

00:42:53Please.

00:42:55It'll only take a minute.

00:42:56It's a bit inconvenient at the moment.

00:42:59You've got someone else in there, haven't you?

00:43:01Who is it?

00:43:02I'm packing to go on holiday.

00:43:07You'd better come in.

00:43:08I've changed.

00:43:15Is it something that I've done?

00:43:17No.

00:43:17Because if it is, I can put it right.

00:43:19I know I can.

00:43:19It's not you.

00:43:20Well, what is it then?

00:43:22Oh, please, Beth, just leave it.

00:43:24Oh, it's so easy for you, this, isn't it?

00:43:27How many other students have you done this to?

00:43:29You're the first.

00:43:30Yeah, right, sure I am.

00:43:31It's the truth.

00:43:32That's why I had to finish with you.

00:43:36I had no choice.

00:43:38What do you mean?

00:43:41Somebody threatened to tell the university about us

00:43:44unless I stopped seeing you.

00:43:46I could have been sacked.

00:43:49Why are you trying to do a thing like that?

00:43:52It was your mum.

00:43:54I had no choice.

00:43:58Hey, Mum.

00:44:02Just a minute.

00:44:26Where are you going, love?

00:44:27Away.

00:44:28What?

00:44:29I know what you did.

00:44:30I know what you said to Chris,

00:44:31and I'm finished with you, Mum.

00:44:33I'm finished with you for good.

00:44:34I'm leaving home.

00:44:35I'm leaving home.

00:45:00Oh, she didn't mean that.

00:45:12She said I'm ruining the life.

00:45:14Well, that's not right, is it?

00:45:15Isn't it?

00:45:16It was me who made a failure exam.

00:45:18It was me who split her and Chris up.

00:45:21Driven my own daughter away.

00:45:22There you go again.

00:45:23Everything's your fault.

00:45:24Well, it is, isn't it?

00:45:25Oh, come on, man.

00:45:26Of course it isn't.

00:45:28She'll be back.

00:45:30I mean, you've had your fallouts before, haven't you?

00:45:31You've always made it up.

00:45:34This time it's different, though.

00:45:38She hates me, Simba.

00:45:40She really hates me.

00:45:45Mr. Death.

00:45:46We're having a party, are we?

00:45:52Mum's been worried sick about you.

00:45:53No, she doesn't have to.

00:45:54I'm okay.

00:45:55You could have phoned her.

00:45:56Rachel, you sound like Mum.

00:45:59Anyway, what were you two doing in the bedroom?

00:46:01Nothing.

00:46:02Nothing?

00:46:02Well, why can't you do nothing down here, then?

00:46:04I mean, we might have wanted to watch telly.

00:46:05It wouldn't have anything to do with cider, would it?

00:46:07It wasn't strong cider.

00:46:08Well, Mum would still go mad if she caught you.

00:46:10She only had a little swig.

00:46:11Well, I'd get rid of it if I were you, anyway.

00:46:14What time's Mum due to you about, Rachel?

00:46:16About an hour.

00:46:17Is that all you came for?

00:46:18Um, yeah, and a few other bits and pieces.

00:46:20Come on, I'd better get this gear in.

00:46:21I'll come back from the keyboard.

00:46:23See you, mate.

00:46:23Rachel, I don't want you to tell Mum that I've been here, okay?

00:46:29What's it worth?

00:46:30Me not telling her that you were drinking cider, that's what.

00:46:33I mean it, not a word.

00:46:34No, I'm going to give her the address of where I'm staying.

00:46:37But only use it in emergency, okay?

00:46:39Okay.

00:46:40And to forward in a mail-on.

00:46:43There.

00:46:43I've been told she's got to go to hospital for a few scratches.

00:47:02Best to get them looked out properly.

00:47:04You might need a tetanus.

00:47:05I hate needles.

00:47:06Well, you probably won't need one.

00:47:08I mean, what do I know?

00:47:10I don't know.

00:47:13Oh, can you grab my bags, please?

00:47:15Yeah, sure.

00:47:16Thanks.

00:47:17You have any travels?

00:47:19No, no.

00:47:20Oh, well, can you do me a favour and tell Mum what's happening when she gets back?

00:47:22No bother.

00:47:23Thanks.

00:47:24You'll have to feel those needles these days, you know.

00:47:28Better make yourself beautiful.

00:47:29Bye.

00:47:38Hi.

00:47:40Hi.

00:47:41Where's Rachel?

00:47:43She's okay.

00:47:43She'll be out in a minute.

00:47:44Is she hurt?

00:47:45No, she's just got a few cuts.

00:47:46She's fine, honest.

00:47:48Well, I've got for that.

00:47:52So, how are you?

00:47:55You're surviving.

00:47:58What are we doing back at the house?

00:48:00I came to pick up some clothes.

00:48:03Good timing or what?

00:48:05Beth, where the hell have you been?

00:48:06No.

00:48:08Oh, are you all right, love?

00:48:09Yeah, they gave me an injection.

00:48:11We didn't hurt anything.

00:48:13Gosh, what am I going to do with a pair of you, eh?

00:48:24So, can I give you a lift anywhere?

00:48:38What have you been saying, love?

00:48:40It's friends.

00:48:41Who's your friend?

00:48:45Just someone from university.

00:48:47Another student.

00:48:50Have you seen Chris?

00:48:52No.

00:48:52So, who's this friend?

00:48:57Lucy.

00:48:59I have been sleeping on the floor.

00:49:02You're stuck on someone's floor.

00:49:04Well, I thought you'd be relieved.

00:49:05I've been worried sick.

00:49:08Well, there's no need to.

00:49:09What's I've been doing is revising for my reset.

00:49:12I haven't had the time for any sexual abortions.

00:49:14Oh, please, Beth.

00:49:16Sorry.

00:49:17Look, I know we've upset you.

00:49:20I still haven't got a clue I'm expected to cope with all this, but...

00:49:24If I said I didn't care who you'd been out with,

00:49:28and I promised not to bring any of you up again,

00:49:30would you please come home?

00:49:32Mum, can't you see that I want you to care?

00:49:34I didn't mean that.

00:49:37Oh, I don't know.

00:49:38I just want you back where you belong.

00:49:41Regardless of who I might bring home for tea?

00:49:46Regardless.

00:49:47How do you look?

00:49:52No, it wouldn't tell us a thing.

00:49:55I just hope that God said he wasn't in there.

00:49:59Let's...

00:50:01Let's go home, eh?

00:50:08Good idea.

00:50:11This lot up later, eh?

00:50:12I didn't know you were into Gleason as well.

00:50:14Well, Jack, the world saves me, you know.

00:50:16I did my arms later, see if anyone else needs me services.

00:50:20Might as well make a few bob, well, we'll have it, eh?

00:50:22Well, get in, you know.

00:50:25Total mess.

00:50:26Don't tell me it's all over.

00:50:27Certainly is.

00:50:28Death.

00:50:29What are you doing?

00:50:30What are you doing?

00:50:31I'm getting rid of this before Mum finds out about your little get-together.

00:50:34God, I forgot that.

00:50:35And half of these computer stuff's so nice.

00:50:37I'd hire you if I were you.

00:50:38Well, I can't take you back to him.

00:50:39He's still out with his mum and dad.

00:50:40Yes, well, you'd better hide it then, haven't you?

00:50:42Right.

00:50:42Thanks.

00:50:52Okay, love?

00:50:53Yeah, fine, thanks.

00:50:55I'm glad to be back.

00:50:56Yeah, we've got to have a decent night's sleep.

00:50:59A bit comfy than some bedsit floor, eh?

00:51:01With or without windows.

00:51:04I've really missed you.

00:51:06Yeah, I miss you too.

00:51:07I don't think I realised till you left that you're my best friend as much as my daughter.

00:51:14I'm sure we can make it all like it was again.

00:51:18No, we can't, Mum.

00:51:20It can't be the same, not now, can it?

00:51:24But, I don't mean we still can't be best friends, does it?

00:51:31Two in ten minutes.

00:51:33Ta, how's Zimbab doing in his corset?

00:51:35Oh, well, at least you can sit up straight now.

00:51:38I bet how Beth will take the mickey out of him.

00:51:40Yeah.

00:51:42Are you, um, glad she's back?

00:51:45Of course.

00:51:46Yeah, me too.

00:51:48Has, um, has Beth said anything to you about how she feels?

00:51:53You mean about girls?

00:51:55Mm.

00:51:55No.

00:51:57Have you heard much about that sort of thing at school?

00:52:00Bits?

00:52:02Well, I wish I could explain it all to you, but I don't know where to start.

00:52:06It was weird, you know.

00:52:08What?

00:52:09I've seen how Beth kissed him at Chris.

00:52:12I know, love, but, um, if that's how Beth wants to be, then we've just got to accept it.

00:52:17So you don't mind, then?

00:52:19Well, I can't say I'm happy about it, but honestly, it doesn't make her weird.

00:52:22Why do you think she's turned into one, though?

00:52:25Well, there's lots of different phases you can go through, um, things happen, you get

00:52:31all mixed up, and I don't really know.

00:52:34Maybe it's to do with what happened with your dad.

00:52:41Why do I just have to bring my dad into everything?

00:52:44I'm not.

00:52:44I only said maybe.

00:52:45Does that make me a lesbian, too, does it?

00:52:47No.

00:52:48Maybe we all are.

00:52:48Maybe Simba's a woman in disguise in his stupid corset, and all because of my dad.

00:52:53Rachel!

00:52:53Just leave me alone.

00:52:54I'm going to leave.

00:52:58Come on, darling.

00:53:00All right?

00:53:00Yes.

00:53:02Be careful.

00:53:03Okay.

00:53:04Okay?

00:53:05Okay.

00:53:05I'll put it down.

00:53:06I'll put it down.

00:53:07Yeah.

00:53:10Aye, aye.

00:53:10What's going on here, then?

00:53:12I'm just helping Simba put this on.

00:53:14Oh, intercourse dressing now, are we?

00:53:16Hey, it's for me back, and it's doctor's orders.

00:53:19Yeah, that's what they all say.

00:53:26Think I deserve a coffee break.

00:53:28Or another one.

00:53:31Oh, see, we've even taken up doing Simba's dirty washing now, have we?

00:53:36Well, I may as well.

00:53:37I was putting some stuff in anyway.

00:53:39First you're putting corsets on him, and now you're doing his dirty washing.

00:53:42Where's it all going to end, Mum?

00:53:45Mum, you don't have to blush.

00:53:47There's nothing to be ashamed of.

00:53:48No, there isn't.

00:53:50And he is the opposite sex.

00:53:53Well, if there's nothing to be ashamed of, then why are you blushing?

00:53:56I'm not.

00:53:57Mum, it's obvious you two have become close while I've been away.

00:54:00Well, yes, I suppose you could say that, but you weren't here.

00:54:04Rachel's always there.

00:54:05I'd have to turn to someone.

00:54:06So?

00:54:08Have you snogged him yet?

00:54:11Mum, there's nothing to be embarrassed about.

00:54:13It's about time you found yourself a decent man.

00:54:15I do like Simba, but...

00:54:18But what?

00:54:21I'm scared, Beth.

00:54:24I don't know if I can cope with another proper relationship after everything I've been through.

00:54:32I don't know if I ever will.

00:54:37Gently.

00:54:38Gently.

00:54:39Oh, God, you're heavy.

00:54:40Oh, I can't.

00:54:45Hi.

00:54:46You getting out, love?

00:54:48Yep.

00:54:49What about your revision?

00:54:50Oh, you guys better be to revise 24 hours a day.

00:54:54So who are you getting out with?

00:54:55Just to go from my course.

00:54:57Oh, what's her name?

00:54:57Kerry Willis.

00:54:58It was a birthday this week, so she had to go to a club with her tonight.

00:55:02And, uh, is she your friend?

00:55:05Yeah, she is my friend.

00:55:07And she'll be with her boyfriend.

00:55:09So there's no need to worry.

00:55:10She's 100% heterosexual.

00:55:11I didn't mean...

00:55:12Mum, you don't need to waste your breath.

00:55:13I know exactly what you meant.

00:55:14I'm going out with a straight friend to a straight club.

00:55:17And I won't be that late.

00:55:18So you can stop getting all worked up for no reason.

00:55:21Okay?

00:55:23See you soon, Beth.

00:55:24Yeah, see you, Beth.

00:55:25Bye, Mum.

00:55:26Bye, Mum.

00:55:31I've been right messing up, didn't I?

00:55:34I'm saying nothing.

00:55:41Oh, you up?

00:55:43I've been up for ages.

00:55:45Sent me along for seven so I could get an early start.

00:55:47All right.

00:55:48You're not somewhere later.

00:55:49You're joking, aren't you, with all this lot to do?

00:55:53You, uh...

00:55:55You don't think you're overdoing it, do you?

00:55:57What do you mean?

00:55:58Overwork.

00:55:59I don't remember you doing this much before,

00:56:00and you are only taking one exam this time.

00:56:02Yeah, but I've got to pass this time,

00:56:04otherwise I'm off the course.

00:56:05I know, but you can do too much, can't you?

00:56:07I mean, you need to take some time off, you know, to relax.

00:56:11You're not asking me to join your dance team, are you?

00:56:13No.

00:56:15I just think you should ease off a bit.

00:56:17Mum, I can relax when I know I've passed.

00:56:19Until then, I'm afraid it's just me and these books.

00:56:23A magnificent picture of...

00:56:25Digger on...

00:56:26I only want some new clothes.

00:56:28What, so you can mess them up playing football?

00:56:30I'm very fine.

00:56:32Are you two going to this football match, then?

00:56:34All right, all right.

00:56:35Well, no, I'm not wanted.

00:56:36Mixed team are playing today.

00:56:38Yeah, just a friendly.

00:56:38First game of the season.

00:56:40Well, I thought you were going to play for their team.

00:56:41Oh, no.

00:56:42We're just watching.

00:56:43Oh, that's nice.

00:56:44Give them a bit of support.

00:56:45I hope they get stuffed.

00:56:46I'm just going to go and laugh at them.

00:56:48Rachel.

00:56:49See you.

00:56:50Bye.

00:56:50Bye-bye.

00:56:51Bye.

00:56:54Nothing quite like some good old team spirit, is there?

00:56:57Can I get you a coffee?

00:56:58No, I'm going to go into the shops and get a can.

00:57:00You mean you're actually taking a break from your work?

00:57:02Yeah, well, only for ten minutes.

00:57:03I've not been that bad, have I?

00:57:07You've been shut away in your room like a recluse.

00:57:10Look, I know passing this exam is important to you,

00:57:12but I think you need to ease off, love.

00:57:15And wind a little.

00:57:15You are on your holidays.

00:57:17Maybe I'm overdone it a bit.

00:57:19I suppose I could take a couple of hours off.

00:57:21Yeah, I'm sure you can.

00:57:23And I was thinking, it's your birthday next week.

00:57:26Maybe we can have a little do.

00:57:28What, with Rachel and Simbad?

00:57:29Yeah, and I thought you might like to invite some of your friends,

00:57:34you know, from the university.

00:57:36Well, they've all gone home for the holidays.

00:57:39Oh, well, maybe we can invite some of the neighbours.

00:57:44Mum, there's no need to make a fuss, you know.

00:57:46Yeah, of course there is. It's your birthday.

00:57:48And what about my work?

00:57:50Beth.

00:57:52Well, I suppose one night won't do any harm.

00:57:55OK, then.

00:57:56Great.

00:57:56I mean, it won't be much, but you leave everything to me.

00:57:58Beth.

00:58:02Oh, hiya.

00:58:03All right, how's it going?

00:58:04Not bad.

00:58:04Just been to get something to drink.

00:58:06Thirsty work and rising all day.

00:58:08So, you're there back at home again?

00:58:09Yeah, afraid so.

00:58:10Things didn't quite work out between me and Chris.

00:58:13Oh.

00:58:14Well, sorry.

00:58:15It's all right.

00:58:16I mean, you've got your reset as well.

00:58:18Must be a bit of a pain.

00:58:20Well, having my head permanently stuck in a book

00:58:21is no better than my idea of fun.

00:58:23I was looking forward to dossing around Europe with Chris,

00:58:26but, well, you know.

00:58:27Yeah, well, it's awesome.

00:58:28Now, my place isn't all that's cracked up to be.

00:58:30You'll soon get bored of it, believe me.

00:58:32Sounds as if you aren't enjoying the summer holidays either.

00:58:34Yeah, well, it's not really holiday for me now, is it?

00:58:36I mean, I've finished uni.

00:58:38I should be working.

00:58:39Oh, you only left a couple of months ago.

00:58:40I know, yeah, but I should be getting my career off the ground,

00:58:42getting things moving.

00:58:43You've been applying for jobs, haven't you?

00:58:45I've been doing nothing else.

00:58:46You know what?

00:58:47Now, I feel I don't even bother getting back to you.

00:58:49I mean, the price of a stamp and a phone call

00:58:51and getting an interview with some head of.

00:58:52Well, it's a lot of competition around this time of year.

00:58:54Yeah, I know, but all I want is for someone to give me a chance.

00:58:57An interview, at least.

00:58:58I mean, I'm willing to work for nothing,

00:59:00just so long as I get a start.

00:59:01Show them what I can do.

00:59:02Well, it's early days yet.

00:59:03You've got to give it a bit of time.

00:59:04Yeah, I don't know.

00:59:05But I can't help thinking that all the hard work

00:59:07over the past three years has been for nothing.

00:59:10Have you seen this?

00:59:12Airway closes.

00:59:13What a nice hat.

00:59:15Are you matchmaking, Mum?

00:59:17No, I'm going to get it.

00:59:18I just thought, maybe...

00:59:20You can't just switch it on and off, you know.

00:59:23It's not like, oh, I've done the lesbian bit now,

00:59:25I think I'll be straight for the rest of my life.

00:59:27It doesn't work like that.

00:59:29I'm not going to look deep into someone's eyes

00:59:31and be instantly cured.

00:59:33I know, but...

00:59:34So stop worrying about Milo Black,

00:59:35and stop worrying about your own.

00:59:37I don't know what you mean.

00:59:38I'll hand those round.

00:59:40We can't keep Paul soon

00:59:42back up to wearing the extension for everything, though.

00:59:44Don't make him wait too long, otherwise...

00:59:47Well, there's more work in London,

00:59:48more media work, anyway.

00:59:50I know, I'll apply for a couple of jobs down there,

00:59:52but I don't know.

00:59:53I don't really want to leave Liverpool.

00:59:55I should have to.

00:59:57Everyone's saying there's not informed me up here,

00:59:58but this is where my roots are.

01:00:00I mean, I know the family have split up and that,

01:00:02but some of that makes staying here more important.

01:00:05And then there's Tony.

01:00:07Yeah.

01:00:08And I like it here.

01:00:09I like the atmosphere.

01:00:09I love the city.

01:00:10Yeah.

01:00:11Me too.

01:00:14So, er, have you given up on relationships then?

01:00:17Yeah.

01:00:18Well, I'm obviously not very good at them, am I?

01:00:20So, what about your love life?

01:00:23I'm in love with a guitar at the moment.

01:00:25Oh, that's original.

01:00:26A Fender Strat.

01:00:27It's brilliant.

01:00:28I'm trying to persuade my dad to buy it for me.

01:00:31Hey, listen, we can go into town tomorrow

01:00:32and have a look if you like.

01:00:33Yeah, why not?

01:00:34Shub all relationships, eh?

01:00:36Here's to a cellar, per se.

01:00:37I'll drink to that.

01:00:40It's okay.

01:00:42Sure have.

01:00:42Fast and quiet.

01:00:44Morning.

01:00:45What's going on?

01:00:46This bright spark's cleaned all the windows on the clothes.

01:00:48He thinks he can nick my customers.

01:00:49Well, what have you done that for?

01:00:51I need the work and I need the money.

01:00:52You can't just do that.

01:00:54These are my customers.

01:00:56Yeah, well, when they realise I'm cheaper

01:00:57and read me promotional materials,

01:00:59if your usual window cleaner's a bit of a pain,

01:01:01then come to me.

01:01:02Banksy's the name.

01:01:03Oh, what's that supposed to mean?

01:01:05It's just a joke.

01:01:06You know, a bit of salesmanship.

01:01:07Yeah, well, window cleaning's a serious business.

01:01:09I don't want to be undercut.

01:01:10This is my round and they're my customers.

01:01:13Look, this is like free market.

01:01:14It's enterprise.

01:01:15There's windows and there's window cleaners

01:01:16and the consumer will decide on the best deal.

01:01:18Oh, you're a real Thatcher's child, you, aren't you?

01:01:20I'm just me.

01:01:21Sorry, mate.

01:01:22From now on, I can't speak to my opposition.

01:01:23Special offer, Mrs. Joe.

01:01:24That's just for you.

01:01:25Today's window's cleaned for half price.

01:01:27Well, hard luck because we've already got a window cleaner

01:01:29and we get them done for free already,

01:01:32so thanks, but no thanks.

01:01:33Well, can't win them all.

01:01:35Can't afford to lose the odd one.

01:01:37Where are you going now?

01:01:38Looking for more business.

01:01:40Yeah, well, make sure it's not my business.

01:01:42Yeah, the early bird and all that.

01:01:44I'll have to get going straight away.

01:01:49I'll graft all day if I have to.

01:01:51I'm not going to be beating up my own game.

01:01:53No way.

01:01:53I'll need a case for that, mate.

01:01:59Good lad.

01:02:00I knew you two cents.

01:02:01And a D-amp and a stand and a strap.

01:02:04I've got to look a pro, haven't I?

01:02:06Yeah, all right, all right.

01:02:07But don't forget, this is not your career, all right?

01:02:09It's just a hobby.

01:02:10I'm not having you wasting that degree.

01:02:11Yeah, but we'll see.

01:02:12We'll see.

01:02:13Can you have a way with this fellow of yours, please?

01:02:15You, my fellow.

01:02:18Yeah, I don't know.

01:02:19The way people match me, hey.

01:02:21You're going to have to get yourself a real girlfriend.

01:02:22All these rumours about you and me won't stop.

01:02:24Oh, we'll stop, all right, when you meet another girl.

01:02:27No, it's not going to happen.

01:02:28I've told you I'm out of that market for the time being.

01:02:30Yeah?

01:02:31Until somebody you really fancy appears.

01:02:33No, honestly, I meant what I said.

01:02:35I'm celibate.

01:02:36Yeah, but we'll see.

01:02:38Hey, come on, you pair of lovebirds.

01:02:39Let's pay for this.

01:02:40And the rest of the gear before me wallet has a stroke.

01:02:43Let's do us a favour and grab us one of them stands, will you?

01:02:46A decent one.

01:02:46Okay.

01:02:49I'm being pulled by the busies twice,

01:02:51losing half of me customers

01:02:52and earning about three pounds in the last fortnight.

01:02:55I'm winning hands down.

01:02:56Oh, that good, eh?

01:02:57Yeah.

01:02:58Oh, it's short.

01:02:59Yeah, well, I think you'll find Ron's otherwise engaged at the moment.

01:03:03I wanted to get some chewing gum I've got on my receipt this afternoon.

01:03:05All right, are you nervous?

01:03:06Yeah, very.

01:03:07Well, don't be, you'll stroll it.

01:03:09Oh, I hope so.

01:03:10Well, I'd better get cracking.

01:03:12Yeah, right.

01:03:12You've got one just to lean, haven't you?

01:03:14Mm-hmm.

01:03:14I don't like that.

01:03:15You can crack it out.

01:03:16Yeah, a little shelf.

01:03:22What do you say to her?

01:03:25All right, love?

01:03:25Hi.

01:03:26Can you hear this, please?

01:03:27Yep, first day back.

01:03:29I'm looking forward to it.

01:03:30Oh, good.

01:03:31So, are you a secret today?

01:03:33I doubt it.

01:03:34She's done with this, congratulating me on passing my resit.

01:03:36She's in California.

01:03:38All right, what's she doing there?

01:03:39She's got herself a new job, some sort of research post.

01:03:41Right.

01:03:43Well, maybe it's for the best day.

01:03:46Might have been a bit awkward otherwise.

01:03:47Yeah, I suppose so.

01:03:49Anyway, I'd better get going first day back and only mean one thing.

01:03:53All right, what's that?

01:03:53A big, fat, juicy grunt check.

01:03:56Oh, right.

01:03:56So you've got your money today, then, eh?

01:03:58Well, most of it's going to go straight to my bank manager.

01:04:00I'm not going to have much later if I pay my overdraft off.

01:04:03Just enough for a few berries, eh?

01:04:04Yeah, well, maybe just a few.

01:04:06Anyway, I'd better get going.

01:04:07See you.

01:04:08See you later.

01:04:08Bye, Mum.

01:04:08Bye, love.

01:04:10Great.

01:04:10I've got a pile of work to do already.

01:04:13Oh, right.

01:04:14So, did you get to pick up the grunt check?

01:04:16Yep, and I've got straight to my bank account.

01:04:19All right.

01:04:20You all right?

01:04:22Yeah, of course.

01:04:24Um, no, not really.

01:04:26What is it?

01:04:28Oh, it's just like cash flow problem.

01:04:30This loan again.

01:04:32It's payment due tomorrow, and I was wondering...

01:04:34Eh, no way, Mandy.

01:04:35You can't ask her for any of her grunts.

01:04:37I think that this has got nothing to do with you.

01:04:39It's got everything to do with me.

01:04:40We've got this loan out together.

01:04:41Yeah, but I was the stupid one who went and changed the repayment

01:04:44so I got behind again.

01:04:45Mum!

01:04:46Well, I can't afford much.

01:04:47I've only just paid my overdraft off.

01:04:49Hey, you keep your money in your pocket.

01:04:50You're going to need it.

01:04:51Me and your money will sort this out together.

01:04:53There's really no need.

01:04:54Mandy, tell me how much you need.

01:04:56It's OK.

01:04:57How much?

01:05:00It depends.

01:05:01You're what?

01:05:02You're joking, aren't you?

01:05:03Well, I only missed one week.

01:05:05I mean, I don't know where the money goes.

01:05:07Mum, this is absolutely crazy.

01:05:08You're going to have to start managing your money and looking after it.

01:05:10She's right, you know, Mandy.

01:05:11You know, you've got to keep on top of these payments, you know.

01:05:14You'll have to make a little plan.

01:05:15I know.

01:05:16I'm sorry.

01:05:17Well, it's OK.

01:05:18I've got some extra money for doing the garden,

01:05:20so that'll help it this week.

01:05:21Yeah, what about next week and the week after that?

01:05:23Oh, God knows where it's going to happen.

01:05:30I'm just dead, isn't it?

01:05:31Hiya.

01:05:33You've been getting all glammed up at this time.

01:05:35I'm going to make some of my dad's wedding things.

01:05:37And what are you doing home for?

01:05:38You've been meant to stay to school for dinner time.

01:05:40I've only come home to change my shoes.

01:05:42I feel ashamed.

01:05:42I'm not going to think I'm a right mess.

01:05:44Look at that.

01:05:45All right, just go back home.

01:05:47You must be joking.

01:05:48I'll just have to wear my trainers

01:05:49to get a new pair.

01:05:50These are going in the bin.

01:05:51Um, don't you dare throw them in the bin?

01:05:53There's nothing wrong with them.

01:05:55And decide.

01:05:56You're not allowed to wear trainers to school.

01:05:59I'm not wearing them again.

01:06:00They're wrecked.

01:06:00I want a pair of caterpillars.

01:06:03You're joking, aren't you?

01:06:05Rachel, we're skinny.

01:06:06Everyone else has got food.

01:06:07You're not everybody else, are you?

01:06:09Stop talking like you're my mum.

01:06:10Rachel, I mean it.

01:06:12Don't go hassle with mum without new shoes.

01:06:14She's got enough to worry about

01:06:14without you going on a turf.

01:06:16Ten pounds.

01:06:24Where'd you get ten pounds from?

01:06:25Washing cars.

01:06:27You washing cars?

01:06:28Yeah.

01:06:29Me and Lena are in the estate last night

01:06:30knocking on doors.

01:06:31We made loads, didn't we?

01:06:32Yeah, we did.

01:06:34Well, thanks, but you keep it.

01:06:36No, I want you to have it.

01:06:37I want to help out more.

01:06:39No, I couldn't.

01:06:40Please, mum.

01:06:41I want you to have it.

01:06:46Well, it's really good of you,

01:06:47but you don't have to, you know.

01:06:49I don't really want you knocking on strangers' doors, either.

01:06:52All right, I won't do it again.

01:06:55Switch it all out of a clearance for dinner.

01:06:59Oh, yeah, I suppose so.

01:07:00Well, where do you want to get the money from them?

01:07:06In washing cars.

01:07:07Yeah, right, come off it, Rach.

01:07:09I'm not as naive as mum.

01:07:10Do you only expect me to believe

01:07:12that you went round the estate

01:07:13knocking on people's doors?

01:07:14You won't even make your own bed.

01:07:15Well, you tell her.

01:07:17We did, honest.

01:07:18Yeah, well, I don't believe you.

01:07:23Well, actually, if you mustn't,

01:07:24I've been feeling in you at school.

01:07:25Stop showing off of us, darling.

01:07:26Well, if you're not going to believe the truth,

01:07:28I may as well tell you a pack of lies.

01:07:30It's going to be so childish sometimes.

01:07:36I'd just have to try.

01:07:39You're a bit late, Rachel.

01:07:41I went to the pizza parlour to see Gary.

01:07:44Do you want something to eat?

01:07:45I'm not hungry.

01:07:46I had a burger in town.

01:07:47Town?

01:07:48I thought you said I went to the pizza parlour.

01:07:50They went to the school and then went there.

01:07:51Are you sure you've been in school this afternoon?

01:07:53Yes.

01:07:54Where did you get the money from the burger?

01:07:56Gary bought them.

01:07:57I only tell mum the truth, Rach.

01:07:59I believe you don't believe me.

01:08:00Are you dishonest?

01:08:03Did I give you someone?

01:08:04Is it all right if you're going to sit in my bedroom now, please?

01:08:06Well, I wasn't around boys in my bedroom now, too, Rach.

01:08:09What was I?

01:08:09Chances would be a fine thing.

01:08:10Rachel.

01:08:11Come on.

01:08:13And no loud music.

01:08:16It's that hard phrase sometimes.

01:08:18Oh, I should get a bit from.

01:08:19It's because of the money that goes out.

01:08:22In other words, household expenditure.

01:08:24I know.

01:08:25I know.

01:08:25I'm not stupid.

01:08:26No, I know you're not.

01:08:27I'm just going to show you how easy it to me.

01:08:28That's all.

01:08:29It makes me feel like I'm back at school.

01:08:31And I don't see how this is going to magically make all our debts disappear.

01:08:34No, well, it won't.

01:08:35But we've got to sort out the money management and get a proper system going.

01:08:37Otherwise, it's going to be loans on top of loans and we're never going to go out with

01:08:40no salary.

01:08:41I'd like to be better at Payneville.

01:08:43I really would.

01:08:46I don't know why I'd do that to you, Rachel.

01:08:48You're joking, aren't you?

01:08:49She's not spending any of all of us.

01:08:51Oh, no.

01:08:52She's been really good recently.

01:08:53I mean, going home and leave cleaning cars to give him money.

01:08:56Where are you going now?

01:08:57Oh, I can't think about any of the coffee.

01:09:01So don't you mind Rachel hanging around with me anymore, then?

01:09:03Well, do you have a memory so quiet and well behaved?

01:09:06Nice to see her as a friend as well.

01:09:08Gary, little Leo from the pizza parlour.

01:09:10You don't feel like a tomboy, isn't you?

01:09:12No, she's the least to my worries.

01:09:14And I've got to sort out this money business.

01:09:17Well, if you sit down and concentrate, you will.

01:09:19Now, come on, get on with us homework.

01:09:22Okay.

01:09:24Just says I can go out to pay later, can I?

01:09:31And where are you going?

01:09:33The library.

01:09:34All dressed up like that.

01:09:36Well, you never know.

01:09:36I want to see someone I fancy.

01:09:37And remember, don't let Kenny McGraw intimidate you.

01:09:41They're all the same here, so you've just got to stand up to them.

01:09:48Hello, love.

01:09:49How'd we go to the library?

01:09:52Um, I didn't go to the library.

01:09:54I thought you'd say something.

01:09:56I was lying.

01:09:57Why?

01:09:58Just in case I didn't get the job.

01:10:01What job?

01:10:02The job that I've just got at Matt's Farmland's new restaurant, part-time waitressing.

01:10:05Just evenings and weekends.

01:10:07I start on Saturday when it opens.

01:10:09Honest?

01:10:11But you won't interfere with your studies?

01:10:13Well, everyone else manages and it's impossible to survive on my ground.

01:10:16So hopefully I shall be able to help you out a bit more from now on.

01:10:19Well, I'm supposed to help you out, not either way around.

01:10:24So, how'd it go, Maguire?

01:10:26Did you remember to get a receipt?

01:10:28Yes.

01:10:29It's a sign.

01:10:29What, is this it?

01:10:38What's wrong?

01:10:40Well, this isn't a proper receipt.

01:10:41All he's done is scrubbing the dates and the amount on a scrubber piece of paper.

01:10:44He's signed it.

01:10:46Yeah, well, I dodged a digit to it.

01:10:47It looks like it's written in Cantonese.

01:10:51How come it says £80 here?

01:10:54I had to give him £20 to find this morning.

01:10:57What?

01:10:58I had to.

01:10:59One of the debts is in the hands of some bailiff.

01:11:01That's his problem.

01:11:02The whole point of you signing your debts over to him was so you don't have to fork out any extra.

01:11:06It doesn't apply.

01:11:07The bailiffs were already involved before I did the deal, so he's not responsible.

01:11:10Well, he's bound to say that, isn't he?

01:11:12He's got to be paid, Bess.

01:11:13I could end up in prison otherwise.

01:11:15Oh, and I suppose he told you that as well, did he?

01:11:17He wasn't being horrible.

01:11:18He was just telling me what could happen.

01:11:20Can't you see?

01:11:21It's conning you.

01:11:21You're being ripped off.

01:11:23He's a businessman.

01:11:24He's just doing his job.

01:11:25Yes, and his job is ripping people off.

01:11:29You shouldn't have given him the extra money.

01:11:30It's not in agreement.

01:11:31You're going to have to tell him he wants it back.

01:11:33Well, I can't do that.

01:11:34Well, if you don't, I will.

01:11:36No, Bess, I don't want you going anywhere near him.

01:11:38Just try and stop me.

01:11:39I don't know.

01:11:45It's like school dinners again, now.

01:11:46Spotted dick.

01:11:47It looks lovely.

01:11:48Well, it should be.

01:11:49The chef's excellent.

01:11:50Are you sure you won't have anything?

01:11:52Eh, not at these prices, love, thank you.

01:11:54I don't suppose there's any chance of any discount, is there?

01:11:58So, are you on all day?

01:11:59No, I'm finished now.

01:12:00It's time to be having a little part-time job on the side, though, eh?

01:12:03Well, it helps pay for the books.

01:12:04You watch that Barry Grant doesn't work you too hard, you know.

01:12:07You save some energy for your studies.

01:12:08Well, that's precisely what I'm doing when I finish here studying.

01:12:11Good girl.

01:12:12You're not seeing our Michael tonight, then?

01:12:14No, maybe at the weekend.

01:12:15See you later.

01:12:17Ta-ra.

01:12:19You know, I'm glad she's...

01:12:20Oh, go through the door, I'm all right.

01:12:29No, I'll just be over from work.

01:12:32Have you been crying?

01:12:36No, what's the matter?

01:12:38Oh, you know, it's...

01:12:41There's just been so much in debt and stuff like that.

01:12:45It's getting on top of me.

01:12:47I can't even afford to buy Rachel a new school blower.

01:12:50It's none of my new jeans or anything.

01:12:54Go and let your friend in.

01:12:55Don't leave her standing outside.

01:12:57Well, she might as well get used to it.

01:12:58We're going to be standing outside the restaurant picketing all day.

01:13:01Hey, Kenan McGuire's not been giving you an hassle, has he?

01:13:05No, no.

01:13:06Look, go on, go on.

01:13:08All right, lads.

01:13:22Can you put your mask aside as it wasn't worth the hassle?

01:13:24Oh, well, good for them.

01:13:25Perry Grant is going to blow a blood vessel.

01:13:27Yeah, well, it's tough.

01:13:29You know, it feels like we should have placards or a banner or something, doesn't it?

01:13:31I don't know what to write, Holly.

01:13:33Stop sexploitation in the workplace.

01:13:35What's going on here?

01:13:39Um, this is our picket line.

01:13:42Isn't this just typical of young people today?

01:13:45Usual thing, is it?

01:13:46More money, longer holidays?

01:13:49No, we're striking because we've been forced to wear degrading uniforms.

01:13:53I should have known you'd turn out to be an anarchist.

01:13:55You know, in my day, people were proud to wear uniforms to fight for their country.

01:14:00Excuse me.

01:14:00This is my son-in-law's business you're trying to ruin, you know?

01:14:07Stop sexploitation in the workplace.

01:14:08Support sexploitation.

01:14:09Aye, aye, aye, aye.

01:14:10What's going on here?

01:14:11Well, this is our picket line.

01:14:12We're trying to convince people not to cross it.

01:14:14Oh, right, what for?

01:14:15Well, the management are insistent.

01:14:17Picket line, my back, sir.

01:14:19Get out of it.

01:14:19Come on, mate.

01:14:20Come on, Mum.

01:14:21I want to know the full story before I cross any picket lines.

01:14:24Yeah, and I want to get a week's wages, don't I?

01:14:27So I'm out of it.

01:14:30What's the score?

01:14:32Sparrow Grand is trying to convince us to wear these really revealing uniforms.

01:14:35It's hardly anything off them.

01:14:37It's murder.

01:14:37All the businessmen coming in and ogling you while you're trying to work.

01:14:41I bet you would try to get the bath.

01:14:42I thought we're losing them soon.

01:14:43Over my dead body, he will.

01:14:46Mo, get a move on, will you?

01:14:47No chance.

01:14:49You will?

01:14:50Seems to me these girls have got a legitimate grievance.

01:14:53What are you talking about?

01:14:54It's got nothing to do with you.

01:14:55Aye, us workers and women have got to stick together.

01:14:58So you're not going to cross our picket line?

01:15:00Cross it.

01:15:01I'm joining it, love.

01:15:02Oh, good on you.

01:15:03This is typical of you men, and especially men bosses.

01:15:06You think you can get away with murder?

01:15:08Yeah, it's a real power trip with some of them.

01:15:10Well, I've never scabbed in me life, and I'm certainly not starting now for Barry Grant.

01:15:14Mo, just do us a favour.

01:15:16Please, get in here.

01:15:18Barry's told me to bring you down, hasn't he?

01:15:19He's going to go spare with me.

01:15:21Tough.

01:15:22Tell him I'm outside, and I'm chaining myself to the railings.

01:15:24I'm doing the Emily Pancake impression.

01:15:27You what?

01:15:28Just get in, scab.

01:15:30Nice, huh?

01:15:31Well done.

01:15:32So what do we do now, then?

01:15:34Just pick us, I suppose.

01:15:35I'm trying to stop people from crossing it.

01:15:37Well, anyone tries to get past me, and I'll bite their legs off.

01:15:41On one condition.

01:15:43And what's that?

01:15:44As a sort of productivity deal, you work on Christmas Day.

01:15:48Double time.

01:15:48Double.

01:15:49Double time and a half.

01:15:50All right, double time and a half, but that's our last offer.

01:15:54Okay, that's the deal.

01:15:56As long as all the other girls agree.

01:15:57I'll come and help you persuade them.

01:15:59Well, hopefully that's that all over and done with.

01:16:02Now perhaps we can get back to work.

01:16:04Want up to us, then?

01:16:05Yes, I'm in my life, then.

01:16:07Unless you're at my own place.

01:16:09There's no chance of when you're on your own.

01:16:11Well, not unless you've got a job.

01:16:15Fleth.

01:16:16You've never got a job.

01:16:17I found a flat.

01:16:18Would you be interested in the enemy, didn't you?

01:16:20Well, I could think of worse people to share with.

01:16:22No, I'm being serious.

01:16:24Well, I can't at the moment, can I?

01:16:26I've got to stay in London for a bit longer.

01:16:28Yeah, but it's a good marriage.

01:16:30It's a good marriage.

01:16:30Yeah, I'd love to share with you.

01:16:33Well, there's nothing that happened, though, is there?

01:16:35Not until I get a job.

01:16:37I don't know.

01:16:38All that hard work and getting a bloody degree.

01:16:40I can't even afford Christmas.

01:16:44Well, there you go.

01:16:45Where are you?

01:16:46Oh, you got a girl on then, did you?

01:16:48Yeah.

01:16:49Um, me and Jack, we're going to have an early night for now and new flat, you know?

01:16:52Yeah, we're really nice.

01:16:53We're after today.

01:16:55Yeah, but there's a full cop and I fill my mouth, Pat.

01:16:57It's great, isn't it, Pat?

01:16:58Oh, what's that for?

01:17:07Well, I say, you're having to make me scab a free one of them.

01:17:09Er, are you going to get one of them to fill the false ones?

01:17:12Yeah, right, the ones that have been spilled green crap all over the police.

01:17:15I don't suppose you're going to moan if you have some free air?

01:17:18Oh, oh.

01:17:19And you get a free concert as well.

01:17:20Oh, well, I can't wait.

01:17:21Jack can use your pocket.

01:17:23Yeah, make yourself a round of news, will you?

01:17:24Will you put that in for us, Pat?

01:17:25Yeah, of course.

01:17:27Um, well, do you always make your boyfriend bash you the one like that?

01:17:30Don't think that you're my boyfriend.

01:17:32I mean, you're half seeing him, aren't you?

01:17:35Yeah, I see quite a lot of him, yeah.

01:17:37Um, you're seeing him, aren't you?

01:17:38If you're the best friend.

01:17:40Right, any requests?

01:17:42It's quite going to be up to me.

01:17:43Er, yeah.

01:17:44Anything further away?

01:17:46Uh-huh.

01:17:47There we go.

01:17:48I'm glad you came back.

01:17:49I'm back.

01:17:50I'm back.

01:18:20I keep it down.

01:18:21What's up?

01:18:21I haven't seen the time.

01:18:22My Gemma can't get to sleep because of all the noise you're making.

01:18:25I'm not having my kids get to wait night after night just because you let them move in.

01:18:29Sorry, mate.

01:18:30Yeah, well, thanks.

01:18:32Good night.

01:18:38Oh, great.

01:18:39Just what we need, eh?

01:18:41Come to later, won't we move in?

01:18:42Oh, Mick's all right.

01:18:43It's so...

01:18:44Hey, you wouldn't be so laid back if it was yours and Beth's.

01:18:46Blah.

01:18:47Are you two going to get one when you get a job, mate?

01:18:49Erm, I don't know.

01:18:51We ain't going to talk to Pat as much, have we?

01:18:53Well, you don't want to carry on living around if you're still going with each other, will you?

01:18:56You make me mind, why?

01:18:57We're just mates, that's all.

01:18:59Will you tell them, Beth?

01:19:03Yeah, that's right.

01:19:05Well, you mate.

01:19:05I don't think you remember one day, Sullivan's wife and kid were murdered.

01:19:13It was here, up on the scaffolding when they were building the shops.

01:19:16When was that?

01:19:18I don't know.

01:19:19Well, three years ago, the fact that he did it was killed himself.

01:19:25I wonder if he do haunt this block of shops.

01:19:28Stop it, mate.

01:19:29You give me the creeps.

01:19:30I wonder if that Simon Howe bloke haunts the woods.

01:19:33Hey, you know, Katie doesn't want to talk about him.

01:19:36I think.

01:19:36I'm sorry, Katie.

01:19:38Makes you wonder, though, doesn't it?

01:19:40How many bodies are buried in the woods.

01:19:42I don't know what happened here before they built this block of shops.

01:19:45What are you doing?

01:19:47I don't think the girls want to hear about things like that.

01:19:50Well, I'm just saying.

01:19:52You never know what happens to all these people.

01:19:53They're all missing.

01:19:54There's probably bodies buried all over the country and nobody will ever know about it.

01:19:57Michael, shut up.

01:19:59All right, OK, I'm sorry.

01:20:01Oh, well, I think I'll go for bed.

01:20:05But, Jackie, is it OK if I stay here tonight?

01:20:08Well, um...

01:20:11Yeah, I suppose so, yeah.

01:20:12Well, why are you thinking you've found the corner?

01:20:15I just don't fancy walking back.

01:20:17All this stupid talk.

01:20:19See, you're frightened me for now, haven't you?

01:20:20You're frightened me, that's for sure.

01:20:23You mind?

01:20:24No, no, you're right.

01:20:26Me and Katie will share.

01:20:27You can have my room.

01:20:29Well, if I've got no-one to walk home,

01:20:30might as well stay the night as well.

01:20:32Yeah?

01:20:32Well, I'll put the clothes on my setting for you.

01:20:34Well, it's all right.

01:20:35We can share, can't we?

01:20:36I'll just look to the room.

01:20:37I'm just mates, eh?

01:20:42This is the last time, Michael.

01:20:43I'm not having you in here using this pizza.

01:20:45We're just mates, that's all right.
