00:00Biker, biker, biker, biker, biker, biker.
00:30I feel like a right prat dressed like this.
00:37Solicitors are used to seeing people dressed nicely.
00:39You can't turn up like you've just come from the football field.
00:42I must be in trouble for something.
00:44I've told you, there's nothing bad.
00:46You'll just have to wait and see.
00:54You're not hogging the equipment again?
00:56There's three of us, Harry. We need more time than you.
00:58What are you on about?
00:58I let you use it yesterday.
01:00Besides, I've been here 20 minutes.
01:03How's that, Harry? We've just seen you coming in.
01:05Look, we've all got here together as far as I'm concerned.
01:07So, we've been tossed for it.
01:09You really are.
01:10Heads or tails?
01:12Tails.
01:16Ha!
01:17Noodles.
01:18Quiet, please. I'm practising.
01:20Arm wrestling. We'll even go left-handed as soon as you're a girl.
01:23Back off. You lost.
01:24Darts.
01:25You're closest to the bullseye wins.
01:27Move it or bruise it.
01:29At the competition, we're going to show you.
01:30You're going to get creamed.
01:31Come on. Check me star signs. See if I'm about to come and look. The boy in me dreams.
01:40Sure. It's an old magazine. The old stars.
01:43Oh. Oh, yeah. Well, check to see if they were right.
01:46You check them.
01:47You look a bit shifty.
01:52No, I don't.
01:53So, why do you keep checking your watch, Lynn?
01:55Because I want to know the time.
01:56Come on. You can tell us if you're going to see Jake.
01:59Don't be embarrassed.
02:00I might be.
02:01We don't have to see each other all the time, you know.
02:04You're not going to do a hurry and get yourself chucked, are you?
02:07Jake chucked me.
02:08Well, you've changed the tune a bit. I thought he was too big for his boots.
02:11You wouldn't understand.
02:13Either dead, right, these?
02:14You're about to have a brush with romance.
02:17And it's all from when I snogged Rob.
02:22How do you feel? Nervous?
02:24A bit.
02:26Respect your mum is, too.
02:28Still one step at a time, eh?
02:31Dad.
02:32What?
02:33I want to stay over with Mum.
02:35We've discussed this.
02:37I know.
02:38I don't want to just say hello and then leave.
02:40That's not what we're doing.
02:41I want to see her properly.
02:42I haven't seen her in ages.
02:44No.
02:46Absolutely not.
02:47Your mother won't want you to either.
02:49She might say yes.
02:50But please, Nicky, can we just do it like we've agreed?
02:56Nicky.
03:01Come on.
03:02Let's make a move.
03:03That's all for me?
03:06It is.
03:07I said you weren't in any trouble.
03:10I can't believe Aunt Mary set this up for us.
03:12I haven't seen her in ages.
03:14Well, she obviously thought a lot of you, Jack.
03:16You don't mind that I made a fuss now, do you?
03:18Can I buy you something neat?
03:21Who'd have the hair done like that?
03:25Magazines are just a waste of time.
03:27Compared to staring out the window.
03:28I was thinking about Wombat.
03:30He's a member of the Grove now and we've all got a place to hang around.
03:33What about him?
03:34He's called Cyril, not Wombat.
03:36Well, I think he deserves his own place.
03:38Why do you care so much?
03:40I like dogs to keep you company.
03:43Do you mean he's sure he's own kennel?
03:44No, a birdcage.
03:46Well, where do we get a kennel?
03:48What's the best way to get anything done?
03:50DIY?
03:51Do it yourself.
03:52You're going to build a kennel?
03:53No.
03:55We are.
03:57I want to tell Therese about the money.
04:00Why can't you?
04:01I don't think I'm my favourite person at the moment.
04:04Was this something to do with last night?
04:06We had a row.
04:08Our dad had this really fancy dinner planned for me birthday.
04:11Oh, that was nice.
04:12Yeah, well, Therese had a go at him because she said I didn't want any fuss.
04:16And I had a go at her.
04:18Oh, I see.
04:19Therese will be upset.
04:22Well, you won't, no, until you talk to her.
04:25And, Jack, be careful waving that money about, eh?
04:28Remember when Harry got some from my dad?
04:30It disappeared like water down a drain.
04:32Not me.
04:33I'm going to invest it.
04:35Hey, good for you, Jack.
04:36Make a nice return on it.
04:38I'm going to invest it in a new image.
04:40It's not going to take all that to change her image.
04:43Yeah, well.
04:44And some of us like you just the way you are.
04:48I bet Therese does.
04:49I'm trying to practice, and all I can hear is you lot destroying wood.
05:17You're the one who's making the windows rattle.
05:19We're making a kennel.
05:20You know what we're doing.
05:22Geoff, I'll know what you're doing all if you don't shut up.
05:24Is that a threat?
05:25Who do you think gave us the wood?
05:26I don't care, but you'll soon know what a threat is if you don't be quiet.
05:29Team, we're not getting anywhere here.
05:35Now I reckon we need to find a picture.
05:37Find one fast.
05:38Here we go.
05:39Here we go.
05:40Here we go.
05:40Check it out.
05:42Oh, not again.
05:43Oh, and you want to say what the noise was?
05:45Noise?
05:46Don't tell us you didn't hear that racket.
05:48Well, it was nothing that I couldn't have handled.
05:50You were wasting valuable rehearsal time.
05:51Well, we're here now, so see you later.
05:53Now this is what we're looking for.
06:05It's fabulous.
06:07I've seen cars that cost less.
06:09We're just looking.
06:10I don't see the point.
06:11We're checking out prices before we make a decision.
06:14We can't afford anything.
06:15You just don't get it, do you?
06:17Come on.
06:23Would you know I've got the money to sleep with me?
06:29Yes.
06:29Can I help you?
06:30Yeah, we'd let that kennel out there, please.
06:32That's a nice kennel.
06:34We've got a nice dog to put in it.
06:36Good for you.
06:38Have you been saving up, then?
06:40Kind of.
06:41Right.
06:42You've just got that sort of money lying around, have you?
06:45Well, only kids.
06:46So you don't have the money?
06:48No.
06:49But we're trying to do something nice for a dog.
06:51You like dogs, don't you?
06:52Of course I like dogs.
06:54But I like people who pay for things, too.
06:56But what if that kennel just sat out there for years
06:59because no one can afford it when our dog could be using it?
07:03That's something I'll just have to live with.
07:05You don't care about dogs at all.
07:07Come on, you.
07:08Sorry.
07:09Sorry.
07:09I'm really sorry.
07:17Thanks.
07:18It's all right.
07:19I'm sorry about yesterday.
07:20I should have been chuffed jaw sticking up for his.
07:25Well, that was idea.
07:27Thanks.
07:28So what's the big secret?
07:30That's it.
07:34Where'd you get this from?
07:35My great-auntie Mary set it up for his when I was four.
07:38You never talk about your family?
07:39There's nothing much to say.
07:41They spread out all over the place.
07:42There's only a few who ever really cared about this.
07:44Mary was one of them.
07:45And now she's gone.
07:48I'm sorry, Jack.
07:50Do you reckon I should pay your dad something to apologise?
07:53No.
07:53He was way out of line.
07:54I told him we wanted to quiet night in.
07:56Yeah.
07:58So what are you going to do with it?
07:59I'm going to make a few changes.
08:01People seem to just want to push us around.
08:03And I want to be taken seriously.
08:10What do you think?
08:11There's a picture of that here.
08:13Yeah, we're not fashion disasters.
08:15It's nice.
08:16So how's your dancing going?
08:18Oh, well, I've just been working out this combination step.
08:20And I thought I'd got it.
08:22But now I feel like I've got three left feet.
08:24It's like a cha-cha-cha, cha-cha-cha.
08:29Oh!
08:30Sorry.
08:31You'll get the hang of it.
08:32Yeah, we'll see.
08:33Catch you later.
08:34Yeah, see you.
08:39What?
08:40I can't believe you and Jake just patched up.
08:43It doesn't matter what happens.
08:44You two always seem to sort things out.
08:46I know.
08:46And you just don't even spend any time together.
08:49I spend more time with people I hate.
08:51What's your point?
08:53What, are you going to call your children?
08:54That's it.
08:55Laugh it up.
08:56You'll understand when you get boyfriends,
08:58whenever that might be.
09:00How rude.
09:12You're going to keep this up for the whole trip?
09:14Well, the kids don't have to go through this
09:16just to see the man's for ten minutes.
09:18It's not fair.
09:19Right.
09:20It's not fair.
09:21On me.
09:23I've done everything you asked.
09:24You're making me out to be a monster.
09:25I didn't say that.
09:27You have to think about the other people involved.
09:30Your mum's not the same person you remember.
09:32It's been a year and a half.
09:34She's got a new life.
09:36It'll take her a while to get used to you again.
09:37I haven't changed.
09:39Yes, you have, darling.
09:42Come on now, please.
09:45I won't stay with her.
09:46Okay.
09:48Can I see her on me own?
09:50You know, if you say a lot,
09:51we're everything first.
09:52Can I let her get used to her on me own?
09:54I'm not getting away from her on this, though.
09:58All right.
10:01Ollie, get off!
10:03It's my turn now.
10:04Get off.
10:04Ollie, get off!
10:06You've been on there five times longer than me now.
10:08Get off!
10:08I haven't even had to go yet.
10:10Just another half hour.
10:11Oh, look.
10:11Harry's hired out a run at school,
10:13but she still can't get anybody to dance with her.
10:15Turn it down.
10:16If you don't turn it down, I'll get Jeff.
10:19Now, what are you playing at?
10:21We're just rehearsing.
10:22Looks like you're messing around.
10:23Are you all right, Harry?
10:25Why should you care?
10:26Oh, look, I think she's upset by all the loud music.
10:29You all want to use the decks at the same time,
10:31but because there's three of you,
10:32you's have taken over.
10:34Right, we'll let Harry rehearse for an hour,
10:36and when she's done,
10:36you's can come back and rehearse for an hour.
10:38And who made you, Sean?
10:39You want to sort it out, or shall I tell her?
10:41You're right, Jeff.
10:42It does look different without the moustache.
10:44Forget it.
10:45Let them have that fun.
10:46I'll come back in an hour.
10:48Well, you heard her, and keep it down.
10:50I don't think you's not helping.
10:52Oh, what's the matter with her?
10:54Must be that time of the month.
10:56Oh, and you'd know all about that.
11:03Come on, then, let's get back.
11:05We can't practise all the time.
11:06We'll lose the magic.
11:07Sounds like an excuse not to do anything to me.
11:10We should do another ten minutes,
11:11so if we're going to win this,
11:12then we've got to be minted.
11:13We're nearly there, man, I tell you.
11:14The girls thought so.
11:15Yeah.
11:16Karen was being a bit flirting.
11:17Cher's always flirting.
11:18Aren't you in there yet, Ben?
11:20Yeah, Ben.
11:21Given in, have you?
11:21Not such a charmer, after all, eh?
11:23Don't worry about me.
11:24I know what I'm doing.
11:26Come on, then.
11:28What are you playing at?
11:29Let's rehearse.
11:30We must have got to him.
11:32So?
11:35What?
11:37Karen, stop staring at us.
11:38I wasn't staring like Ben was.
11:40It doesn't mean anything.
11:41Well, he was definitely going to snog you yesterday.
11:44I could say that.
11:45So what are you going to do?
11:47Have a word, I suppose.
11:48Oh, can I come with you?
11:49No, you can't.
11:51Unless you're going to ask Ollie out where you're there.
11:53Oh, yeah, right.
11:54No, thanks.
11:54I'd rather stay on the shelf than look desperate.
11:57Ah, you're just fussy.
11:58Do you want to swap?
11:59Just think, if you went without chips for about five years,
12:05you might be able to afford to tell him.
12:08Tell him, I don't know.
12:09Is he meant to be funny?
12:10We don't know what his real job is.
12:11Someone better tell him he needs one.
12:13Don't give him any money.
12:14Well, just tell him we're saving for our dog.
12:16Someone better tell him, please.
12:19I'm sorry, much.
12:22Pitiful.
12:23Do you think so?
12:24He was awful.
12:25Emma still gave him some money.
12:27She's soft.
12:27I'm not.
12:28He's just got a tough job and he deserves a break.
12:30Well, I reckon there's a lot more people out there like Emma.
12:33And I reckon that's how we can pay for the penalty.
12:35Come on.
12:41Oh, I could do with another.
12:42One gallon's enough for me.
12:44I've made my mind up.
12:45What?
12:46Do you know how many desserts you're going to go back then?
12:48You know, I've been thinking about the extreme sports stuff I was doing last year.
12:52Jack, you're racing normal hours.
12:54I know.
12:55But it was something with a bit of a rush.
12:57Right.
12:58Well, that's what I want to spend it on.
13:00What kind of rush?
13:02The fun kind.
13:03Well, come on, tell us.
13:05I've got to check it out first.
13:06I'll come with you.
13:08No need.
13:09Do you like your worry, you miss?
13:11See you later.
13:14You're not serious.
13:16Clowns.
13:16He wasn't funny and you paid him.
13:18We can earn loads.
13:19And we'd be better than that clown.
13:21We just need to get organised.
13:22And get funny.
13:23Well, I don't know if I can.
13:24Of course you can.
13:25Just do what I do.
13:26And what?
13:29You can't be a clown.
13:30Why?
13:31Because it means we want to do the business stuff.
13:33What business stuff?
13:34Well, we can all do that.
13:36Right.
13:37I don't think Barry should be a clown because...
13:40He's not funny.
13:43Well, I'm not funny and you want me to be one.
13:45We need you.
13:46I am funny.
13:47Go on, then be funny.
13:48What?
13:48Just like that?
13:49We don't all have to audition, do we?
13:51It's not fair.
13:52I'm waiting.
13:56I'm waiting.
14:07Ta-da!
14:08So Barry's looking after the business stuff.
14:20Here it is.
14:24Don't expect too much, eh?
14:26You alright?
14:51Hi, Mum.
14:59Hello, love.
15:00Hi, Tom.
15:05I'm going to go leave you two to talk.
15:07Okay.
15:08You're in a hotel, are you?
15:10Yeah, we're booked into that hotel down the front.
15:12And you'll come and pick her up?
15:13Yes.
15:14Right.
15:15I'll see you later, then.
15:17About half past two.
15:18Thanks, Dad.
15:21See you.
15:25Right.
15:25See you in a bit.
15:26Aye, good rehearsal.
15:27Good.
15:27It's in the back.
15:30You going to win, then?
15:31Yeah, I hope so.
15:33What do you want, Shay?
15:34I just thought I won't have a chat.
15:36Oh, aye.
15:37You're not making this easy, you know,
15:39when you went to kiss us.
15:42Harry.
15:42I'll speak to you later.
15:45Didn't take you long, did it?
15:48Well, you don't meet Harry.
15:49I can do what I want.
16:01You sure that's enough?
16:03Yeah.
16:04How are you, Mum?
16:09I've missed you.
16:11I've been all right.
16:13I've been nervous too, you know.
16:17Hair looks nice.
16:19You've grown up a lot.
16:20It's only been a year.
16:22Year and a half.
16:24Your Dad looking after you all right?
16:28Spending much time with your friends?
16:29Mum, I thought we could talk.
16:31I wanted to talk about what happened.
16:33What happened?
16:34At home.
16:36They said it would help, aren't you?
16:37Because you went through it too.
16:39I don't know what you mean.
16:40You were there, Mum.
16:42Look, Nicky.
16:43Whatever it is, I really don't think...
16:45Mike, Mum.
16:45I'm talking about Mike.
16:47He ruined our lives.
16:50Why did you run off on lavers when I needed you?
16:53Go on, Barry.
17:01It's your last chance to prove you can be funny.
17:03Take another step and you'll look like a giant trifle.
17:06It's not my idea.
17:07He has to pass the test, Laura.
17:09He can pass it on you.
17:10I'm far too busy.
17:12What about that?
17:13Go on, let her have it.
17:15What are you doing here?
17:16Hello, hello, doggie.
17:17We've been talking about you all day.
17:19Go on, Barry.
17:20What are you waiting for?
17:21For you to start hitters afterwards.
17:22We'll hit her back.
17:24I can't.
17:25She's a girl.
17:26Yes, Stumpy.
17:27He's just trying to be a gentleman.
17:29Now, excuse me.
17:30We're trying to practice.
17:31I'm just trying to look up.
17:33This is serious.
17:34You can watch, but only if you don't get in the way.
17:37Does he have to?
17:38What are you looking at?
17:39Go and practice your Python
17:40and don't come back until you can hit someone
17:43from ten feet away with the wind blowing.
17:48Right, then.
17:49What do you fancy doing?
17:50We could go to the town.
17:53We could watch the lads who hear us.
17:55Oh, I think I've seen enough of that today.
17:56Well, it was just a suggestion.
18:00Oh, well, how did you two find time to meet?
18:02That's twice in one day, you know.
18:04Don't be so childish.
18:05Oh, we're childish now.
18:07What's up with you?
18:07We're only joking.
18:08Yeah, we think it's great that you and Jake
18:10have such a high-powered executive relationship.
18:13Yeah, well, we're very happy.
18:15Very happy.
18:16Anyway, me and Cher were just talking before
18:18and we were just wondering,
18:20are you going to wear one of your nice,
18:21frilly shirts for the wedding?
18:24You're just making fun of something you don't understand.
18:27Every time you see us,
18:28that's all you can think of to say.
18:30Well, I'm happy and you two are sad
18:32in more ways than one.
18:34And you don't know how much it hurts us to see that.
18:36See you later, then.
18:43I don't understand why you've come to see you.
18:48Nicky.
18:49No, you haven't.
18:50You've come to upset me.
18:52You should have stayed where you were.
18:54Mum, don't say that.
18:55Well, look at me.
18:57I'm all worked up.
18:58I've been pretty worked up too, you know.
19:00That's why I've been in therapy.
19:01Don't be silly.
19:03You don't need therapy.
19:04I didn't want to do it, you know that.
19:06I don't understand why you'd need a doctor.
19:09We don't discuss our problems with strangers.
19:12Are you listening to me?
19:15It's embarrassing.
19:18People talk.
19:19You know what my problems are.
19:21No, I don't.
19:22How would I know that?
19:24It's because you were there.
19:26I need your help.
19:27Help to do what?
19:29You're just making it worse, dragging up the past.
19:31It's for both of us.
19:32He hurt both of us.
19:34That's what they tell you at these counselling sessions, is it?
19:36No, it's what I saw at home.
19:39Mum, it's real.
19:41We both had the bruises to prove it.
19:43I didn't move away to have it all dragged out in the open.
19:47I wanted to get away from everything.
19:49All of it.
19:51As far as I'm concerned,
19:53it never happened.
19:54There you go.
20:13You've hardly said a word since we left the grove.
20:18Oh, I'm fine.
20:19Just thinking about Karen and Cher.
20:20Well, they'll grow up one day.
20:22No, not that.
20:23What they said about us made me think about how we work together.
20:26How we hardly spend any time together.
20:28And when we are together,
20:29we're either rowing or getting over a row.
20:31I know.
20:32The word's tempestuous.
20:34No, the word's daft.
20:36We never just get along.
20:37It's always great or terrible.
20:39I just want us to be normal from time to time.
20:42I want to see more of you,
20:44so we can talk.
20:46Don't you want that?
20:47Yeah, I suppose so.
20:50Well, can we try and do something about it then?
20:52Yeah, I think we can.
20:53Are you talking to me?
20:57Oh, yeah.
20:58Yeah.
21:00Good.
21:00Good.
21:13Hey.
21:14Hello.
21:30Therese, it's Jack.
21:32Hey, you all right?
21:33I'm great.
21:33I've bought something.
21:35Do you want to come up and see it?
21:36Come and see it?
21:36I thought you were going to book an adventure holiday or something.
21:39No, it'll last a bit longer than that.
21:41I'm at the Grove.
21:41Great.
21:42See you later.
21:44Oh, yeah, it's not as easy as it looks, you know.
22:09As you were saying.
22:12Yes.
22:12Well, what do you think?
22:22Well worth the wait, I suppose.
22:24New image or what?
22:29This isn't doing us any good.
22:31Then why did you leave in them?
22:32Why did you send us away if Mike was okay?
22:35I have to survive, Nicky.
22:36Everything doesn't go away just because you don't want to talk about it anymore.
22:41That'll be your dad.
22:42It weren't me who went mad.
22:43It was him.
22:44You'd better go.
22:45Stop changing the subject.
22:47Look, Nicky.
22:48No.
22:49I don't think you should come back tomorrow.
22:51I don't want to see you.
22:52After an afternoon in a year and a half.
22:53It's not doing any good.
22:55I am coming back and we're going to sort it out.
22:57There's nothing to talk about.
22:59Nothing happened.
23:00You're not doing this to me.
23:01Just leave me alone.
23:03I'll see you tomorrow.
23:04Nicky.
23:05Tomorrow.
23:10So how did it go?
23:11It was great.
23:12She wants us to come back in the morning and talk about my stuff.
23:15Great.
23:16I'm glad it went well.
23:22Couldn't have been better.
23:23I'm glad it went well.
23:54Yeah.
23:54Yeah.
24:11Yeah.
24:11Yeah.
