00:41So, er, you have to work?
00:45No flies on you.
00:47Listen, honey, you've been tossing your tenny all night.
00:49So how about a ring, Roy?
00:51Explain that you're not up to it.
00:52I'm sure you'll understand.
00:52I am up for it.
00:54You know, a bit of crayon on the older space.
00:56I'm not good to go.
00:56Okay, Benny, grief is a process, okay?
00:59It takes time.
00:59There's no hiding from it.
01:00There's no shame in it.
01:01Yeah, and I could strike till I drop, but it changes now.
01:04So, listen, how about I pick up the coils, lighten your load?
01:07I was missing in action the first time round.
01:09I've got a lot to make up for.
01:11You know, that's ancient history.
01:12Okay, you're a wonderful mother, you're a wonderful grandmother,
01:14but you are not a superwoman, okay?
01:16And grief must out, right?
01:17How about I do me and you do you?
01:19Yeah, because I am worried about you.
01:22Honey, I'm worried.
01:24And you keep up this place, you're going to hit a wall.
01:27Look, this has got to stop.
01:29Seriously.
01:33You know best.
01:40Oh, it's strange not seeing Billy up on the altar run the show.
01:45Oh, it was.
01:47It really was.
01:48Oh, thanks, Bernie.
01:50That's it.
01:51Tonic plates have certainly shifted.
01:54No kibble pits.
01:55How are you feeling, Bernie?
01:57How are you bearing up?
01:58I don't know.
01:59What's the alternative?
02:01Spoken like a true stoic.
02:02I was just saying to Sally, it was so strange seeing the bishop up there.
02:06No Billy.
02:07What with him being dead, you mean?
02:10Cross observation.
02:11I'm sorry.
02:13I know what you meant.
02:15Hey, Bernie, you still on for tonight?
02:17Starting off at the Rovers.
02:19Copy that, Sal.
02:20Great.
02:20She just needs to let off a bit of steam.
02:22Yeah.
02:23Just what the doctor ordered.
02:28Oh, aye.
02:29What have you two been up to, you dirty tickets?
02:31A lady never tells.
02:34Summer was in floods.
02:35I'm just down to bed.
02:36Oh, she broke my heart.
02:38And Todd was just stricken, wasn't he?
02:42Bernie's been bottling it up.
02:44Well, there's no one size fits all.
02:46Yeah, true.
02:48But, I mean, Dad did text.
02:49Said to keep an eye on her.
02:51Right.
02:52I am off-ski.
02:54I've got a banging headache.
02:56Try not to fall apart without me.
02:58Laters.
03:05I'm looking for Roy.
03:06Aye, you found him.
03:09How can I help you?
03:10You sent these to my wife.
03:15I did like knives, are you?
03:24Hey, you.
03:26Back already?
03:28How was your shit?
03:29Oh, you know.
03:31Made toasters, poured coffee, wiped tables.
03:34Oh, sorry.
03:34And so what's with the early dart, then?
03:36How you feeling?
03:37Like I'm going to punch the next person who asked me that.
03:41Sorry, I'm being a cow.
03:42No, I'm sorry.
03:42I'm clearly testing your patients.
03:44Listen, are you sure you don't want me to pick up the kids?
03:46No, they're expecting me.
03:47You get on with your vat.
03:49Okay.
03:50Well, listen, how about when you get back, I, uh, fix you a really piping hot bath and make you
03:56something lovely to...
03:57No, I haven't got time.
03:59I'm, uh, I'm going to jump in the shower.
04:01I'm going out with the girls.
04:04Well, like another late one?
04:06Oh, fingers crossed.
04:08What's that face for?
04:09Honey, you are eating like a bird.
04:10You're barely sleeping.
04:11Well, if I'm keeping you awake, I can sleep in Ardy's room.
04:14Please.
04:15My point is that I really don't think another boozy night is the best idea.
04:19Dev.
04:19No, the girls will understand.
04:22Okay, but he was so precious to you.
04:24He was a special link to poor.
04:26But yesterday was an ordeal for everyone.
04:28But this brave-faced routine of your...
04:29Look, everyone is at me, right?
04:31Everyone has got an opinion.
04:33Honey, I am not everyone.
04:35You're suffocating me!
04:39Now, just, uh, isn't that just like grief talking?
04:41No!
04:41No, it's me talking and you not listening.
04:45That's purr!
04:54Oh.
04:58Oh.
05:00Oh.
05:02Oh.
05:10Oh.
05:12Oh.
05:13Oh.
05:14Oh!
05:19I would never pursue a married woman or anyone with a partner come to that.
05:24I can vouch for that.
05:25As can I. Alice is the one who did all the chasing.
05:28It was intended that we meet last week and the flowers were an apology for cancellation.
05:34A sweetener.
05:35He was being a gentleman.
05:37Cos that's who he is.
05:39He's never even mentioned me.
05:4431 years.
05:46Three kids.
05:49Airbrushed out.
05:56Can I offer you a cup of tea?
06:00I'm sorry.
06:02I'm sorry.
06:08I hate January at the best of times.
06:11Poor old Billy dying.
06:14Todd's fiancée did such a lovely eulogy that I didn't say.
06:19Such a lot of love in that room.
06:21I told Ben we're having a happy hour.
06:24All spirits are half price.
06:25Men?
06:26Yeah, Mum.
06:27Get him in.
06:28I'm going to bargain.
06:29Sometimes it pays to drink yourself, stupid.
06:32You're back.
06:33Ka-ching, ka-ching.
06:34And the first round is on the house.
06:36Oh, nice one!
06:37You, Maggie, are an officer and a gentleman.
06:40Pretty sure I can have you cancelled for that.
06:43Right now, what's everyone having?
06:44Oh, a J&T ice and slice, please.
06:46A large body, please.
06:48You know, to help process me grief.
06:49A large glass of wine.
06:50OK.
06:52I'm sorry I never met you or Paul.
06:55By all accounts, a lovely fella.
06:57Yeah, he was.
06:58He was, yeah.
06:59Hey, come on, girls.
07:00That booth has got our name on it.
07:03Can you, er, get a wiggle on, please, Glenda?
07:06I'm parched.
07:12See you, I can't keep up.
07:14Thanks.
07:14Come on, like you.
07:15Oh, no.
07:16I'm a bit done in this funeral.
07:19Yeah, thank you for everything.
07:21Oh, it was an honour.
07:23I mean, not an honour I ever wanted.
07:25Yeah, yeah, I know.
07:26I know what you mean.
07:29Do you know what?
07:30If ever you need to unburden yourself, to be honest,
07:33I just want to get it off my face.
07:35I can relate to that, right?
07:36Well, I better keep on coming and laughing.
07:38Back in a minute.
07:39Oh, I can help you out there, Sal.
07:41How about a pint of lime and soda?
07:44Maggie, darling, that is not going to line your pockets.
07:47It will line your stomach, though.
07:50I know you're hurting.
07:52We're all hurting.
07:54Even Bill Gates has got his problems.
07:58I never met Paul, but I really liked Billy.
08:01Billy, you have to hang on to the fact that they're in a better place now.
08:06What, the coach and horses?
08:08Maggie's only trying to be kind.
08:11She's in vain.
08:13What do you reckon?
08:14Oh, God.
08:16They're at peace, and we're left to get on with it.
08:19She's like a walking bridge magnet.
08:22Penny.
08:23What?
08:24Pipe down.
08:26Ball your eyes out.
08:28Show some respect.
08:30I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you, Paul.
08:33No, you're building your part, love.
08:35Can you tell Gemma that I need me bad?
08:39I don't get worried, Sal.
08:41It's no biggie.
08:43No, no, no.
08:49No, no, no.
08:56Oh.
09:03You look a laughing ill.
09:05Ha.
09:08None taken.
09:09See how we get, pal.
09:11Um, whatever she's having.
09:13Ooh, a pint of cyanide, ta.
09:17Failing that, I'll have a...
09:18a whisky and ginger, please.
09:21Drowning your sorrows?
09:23Meet your mate.
09:26Well, life is hard, and then you die.
09:40I find out my wife has been cheating on me.
09:45Oh, mate.
09:47With some weirdo.
09:50In an apron.
09:53He says he didn't have no clue about me.
09:55Get rid of her.
09:58Just like that?
10:00Just like that.
10:03I thought we were soulmates.
10:06Well, it's not looking good, man.
10:09Can't lie to you.
10:11I love her.
10:14Maybe it's just a blip.
10:19You think?
10:20No.
10:22But you bought me a drink,
10:23and you look miserable as sin.
10:29My son and his husband,
10:30they were...
10:33not homophobe, are you?
10:35Biggest ball of Grady fan in the world.
10:37Right.
10:39Right, good.
10:41Now, my Paul and his Billy,
10:44the love between them two,
10:46you could feel it.
10:49and they were put through the ringer,
10:51but every battle
10:53made him stronger.
10:58Lucky them.
10:59Oh, yeah.
11:01Yeah.
11:03They looked out all right.
11:07My round, please.
11:13One, two, three, four, five.

11:19Where are they now?
11:21Should I look them up?
11:22Yeah, knock yourself out.

11:47Do you want a drink?
11:50No,

16:28Oh,
16:28I reckon that dealer
16:32in the dog and gun

16:36I'm starting to wonder.
16:41Tell me about
16:41your dead son.
16:44Oh,
16:44he was a lovely.
16:47Yeah,
16:48he was kind.
16:50He was dead funny.
16:52He was lazy.
16:54He was a great stepdad.
16:57He was a good boxer.
17:00He was a terrible cook.
17:03Tell me about
17:04your living wife.
17:07She could be an MI5.
17:10She's probably there
17:11right now
17:11when we call her.
17:13All these years.
17:15Three decades.
17:17That's an achievement.
17:19Oh,
17:19yes,
17:20happy years.
17:2125 happy years
17:22would be something
17:23to celebrate.
17:24Otherwise,
17:25it's just a matter
17:26of not being unhappy
17:27enough to get divorced
17:28when you slowly
17:28wade your way
17:30through 25 calendars.
17:33Parents' evenings,
17:35Christmases
17:35with the in-laws,
17:37matches
17:39and dispatches.
17:42I'm glad you found
17:43my baby's little life
17:44so funny.
17:45Oh.
17:46I don't think
17:47I ever went
17:48to a parent's evening.
17:50Eh,
17:51not a one.
17:52Raven?
17:54Yeah.
17:55Yeah,
17:56my kids
17:56had to spend
17:57around me.
18:00I was a total disgrace.
18:02I was not just
18:03down to you.
18:05What about your husband?
18:06The men in your life?
18:07I let my kids down
18:08on every level.
18:09They had terrible food.
18:10They had terrible stepdads.
18:14Idiots.
18:17I didn't grow up
18:18till I was 50.
18:25Sorry.
18:28Faint heart.
18:30Fair maid.
18:32You look
18:34so sad.
18:39My kids deserve better.
18:41I'm sure you did
18:42your best.
18:44Oh.
18:45You were gorgeous.
18:47A proper firecracker.
18:50I was an unfit mother.
18:55And I'll never get
18:56the chance
18:57to make it up to him.
19:02And Billy.
19:05Billy was the love
19:06of his life.
19:10Billy was bold.
19:14He was the loveliest.
19:17He was the kindest.
19:21He was a little piece
19:22of my ball.
19:27And now he's gone.
19:34They've both gone.
19:45Hey, darling.
19:46It's me again.
19:48Party paper in chief.
19:50Not that you're partying.
19:51It's like I have a knack
19:53of making things worse, right?
19:56Anyway, listen.
19:57It's late.
20:00She's very early.
20:02And you haven't even
20:02got your big coat.
20:04So please come home.
20:07Or let me know
20:08where you are
