00:00Hi, love. You're late home from school.

00:12She's been round to Smiggers.

00:14Kirky! We're thinking about going out for some pizza. Have you got much homework?

00:18Just a bit, but...

00:20You liar. You've no flaming homework cos you've not been to school. I rang.

00:24You've been hanging round Barlow's Bides this afternoon. Why?

00:28I forgot my pencil case.

00:30Oh, so you bought one second hand from Tracey?

00:32Well, tell me, Craig, what was you doing in that shop when you should have been in school?

00:38I paid for it.

00:42It's a game.

00:44So who paid for this then? Cos it weren't him and it weren't me.

00:48Oh, can't speak. It must be nicked.

00:50No. Rob will know.

00:52Kirky, door. Copy that.

00:54Leaving off, Tracey. She's practically family.

00:58God, well, you'd better get your story straight cos Rob won't let this go. He'll wanna call the police.

01:02I didn't pinch it.

01:04It was Carl. He gave him the money.

01:06Or I'm in a funny mood. Either way, we're winding each other up.

01:12Just gonna use a lip.

01:14Drink.

01:15I've not come for a drink.

01:16Is your Carl about?

01:18Er, yeah, he's down the cellar way.

01:20Er, can you get him for me then, please?

01:22Well, he'll be up when he's up. Anything I can help you with?

01:25Well, I'd like to know what he's playing at, buying my son computer games.

01:29I'm sorry, Carl. He barely knows you, Craig.

01:32That's what I thought. And these games don't come cheap, even at Tracey's place.

01:36What's that meant to me?

01:37I don't need handouts from Carl or anybody.

01:40So what do I owe you?

01:41I don't know.

01:42Well, can you ask him now, please?

01:45Beth, I think you've got the wrong end of the stick.

01:48But if you haven't, and Carl has been nice to Craig, then let's talk about it in the back, in private.

01:53No time. I'll wait here. I won't have anybody saying I don't pay me own way.

01:58Even you must find that weird.

02:01I mean, what does Sunita think about Carl and the twins, eh?

02:04Nothing, all right? Nothing.

02:05No, she said he was useless. Never showed any interest in them kids whatsoever.

02:10All right, look. What is Craig? Promising young footballer?

02:15No.

02:16Deadly at blackjack. Has he got long hair, great legs, nice rack?

02:21Cos they, my friend, are the only things Carl is interested in.

02:25Why the sudden friendship? Makes no sense.

02:29What's Carl bought him? A DVD?

02:31A game.

02:32And what sort of game?

02:34I don't know, do I? What's he to do with you when he rode?

02:38Don't want to add Craig's business to talk of the wash house.

02:41Carl definitely bought him a game.

02:43My lad does not lie. And if he is lying, he'll know about it.

02:47Oh, that's the last of the IPA, love. Shall I get on to the brewery?

02:50Have you been talking to Craig?

02:52Craig?

02:53Beth's son. She's got an interest in buying him presents.

02:56Oh, give over.

02:57Hey, what's that Craig said to you? Why have you been buying him stuff?

03:00I don't know what you're on about.

03:02What? You're saying you never bought my lad a computer game?

03:04No.

03:05See, I told you it wasn't true.

03:07He gave him money for one.

03:09Why?

03:10I thought he needed cheering up.

03:11Er, I'm head of cheering up in his world, mate.

03:14Listen, love, I might not be a parent, but I have been a kid. Just a bit of cash to lift his spirits. I thought he looked a bit fed up.

03:20Well, if he is, it's my problem, not yours. I'm perfectly capable of looking after my own son.

03:25Blimey, what's the world coming to you? You can't treat your neighbour's kids without being chased out of town with pitchforks.

03:30Get your money in me pocket from now on.

03:32You better add.

03:33Hey, listen, no harm done. How about a drink on the house?

03:36Oh, more flaming bribery.

03:38I'll take it back then.

03:40Er, rum and coke.

03:41I don't think he bought a single thing for my kids. Even when he was seeing their mother.
