Short filmTranscript
00:30Giving mummy a break.
00:32I had you, Dan, as more of a papoose kind of a man.
00:37Some men struggle while others take to fatherhood like a fish to water.
00:40Which one are you?
00:41It's not easy.
00:43Nothing of meaning ever is.
00:45But it must feel good to have a nice little holiday.
00:48It's paternity leave, not a holiday.
00:50Yes, of course.
00:51But while some sleep, the competition wakes up.
00:55I'm sorry?
00:56Something my dad used to say to me.
00:58I'm not sleeping.
01:00No, and neither is your colleague, Richard.
01:02It's fair to say he is shining in your absence.
01:05This time off, I'm entitled to it.
01:07It doesn't mean that I'm not looking forward to getting back to work.
01:10Entitled.
01:11The buzzword of a whole generation.
01:13And snowflake.
01:15I'm not snowflake or entitled.
01:17No, of course you're not.
01:19Labels always apply to someone else, don't they?
01:21But you do have choices, though, Jacob.
01:23You get back to work, or you stay at home, wondering which teat is best to put your baby on.
01:37Do we have to go in?
01:38I don't want to go anywhere.
01:39Come on, but you're frightened of.
01:41It's all been new hundreds of times.
01:43It just feels a bit different.
01:44Oh, come on.
01:45Happy.
01:46Bye.
01:51Here they are.
01:52The innocent three.
01:54Finally, justice has done what it's supposed to do.
01:56It's great to see you, gents.
01:58Must be a massive weight off your shoulders.
02:00Jimmy.
02:00I was convicted.
02:02I got a suspended sentence.
02:03Yeah, and what he did, he did for me.
02:05He did nothing wrong.
02:07Dad, I told you.
02:08Nothing to feel guilty about.
02:10And a suspended sentence.
02:11Everybody knows what that means.
02:13Nothing.
02:14The main thing is, you're free to get on with your lives again.
02:18Hm.
02:18What life?
02:20Take a seat.
02:22I'll be along for your order.
02:24Today, it's on the house.
02:26You don't have to do that.
02:27I want to.
02:34You OK, sweetheart?
02:36Yeah, it just feels like people are looking at me.
02:38No, they're not.
02:40You don't even feel.
02:40Just let them.
02:41Yeah?
02:42Cos this, this is what being innocent looks like.
02:45What it looks like doesn't matter.
02:47People are going to think I'm a criminal for a very long time.
02:50And that's just me.
02:51Nobody else.
02:52Are you joking me?
02:54After what you did in that courtroom, standing up there, speaking out.
02:57People, that's what heroes do.
02:59I could not be more proud of you.
03:02Well, they won't feel that much of an hero if that disciplinary hearing doesn't go on my way.
03:05They'd come and work for you in the salon.
03:07Oh, yeah.
03:08We're rushed down our feet at the moment.
03:10Good to be busy, isn't it?
03:12Which is why, something lined up for you, you know.
03:16What can I get you?
03:21Fifty-seven.
03:22I was aiming for twenty.
03:26And, er, the other times I really didn't mean to miss the board.
03:30You've obviously got other things on your mind.
03:32Any word on Paddy's disciplinary hearing?
03:35Oh, not yet.
03:36I can't stop thinking about it.
03:38What if it doesn't go his way?
03:40Vanessa, the most important thing is that all three of them walked out of the courtroom.
03:46Everything he's been through, though, and it hasn't ended yet.
03:48He's still suspended from the surgery.
03:51It could have been so much worse.
03:52It won't happen overnight.
03:53But with friends like you and Rona by his side, good, loyal friends, that'll be so much easier.
04:00Are you sure she doesn't want to be more than just friends?
04:03Don't.
04:05Is it just me, or does every new mum leaves to find?
04:08Oh, as long as it's not the baby.
04:09Isn't she beautiful?
04:12Yeah, she has her moments.
04:14At that age, you need to savour every moment.
04:16It still mystifies me why so many fathers can't wait to go back to work.
04:20Well, probably, because work is easier.
04:23And Jacob's obviously at the front of that queue.
04:25Is he?
04:27Sorry, has he said something?
04:29Oh, probably nothing you don't know already.
04:31But to quote, I'm entitled to time off.
04:34That doesn't mean I'm not looking forward to getting back to work.
04:36You are a very understanding wife.
04:38Good for you.
04:39Not so sure I would be.
04:49So when were you going to tell your silly little housewife that you can't wait to get back to work?
04:54Sorry?
04:55What are you talking about?
04:56Why are you calling yourself that?
04:57Because that's what I am, isn't it?
04:59Happy to stay at home and do all the parents' stuff while you can't wait to escape back to the
05:03hospital.
05:03Sarah?
05:04Do you know what?
05:04I don't know what's worse.
05:05Finding out that you're so miserable or finding out from someone else.
05:07Maybe we should talk about this later.
05:09Who exactly?
05:10Your boss, Jacob.
05:11Your boss, Jacob.
05:11Dr. Todd.
05:12And yeah, we will talk about this later.
05:20Wedding bells.
05:22Hey.
05:23If you ever decide to change the name of Take a Vow, you could call it that.
05:28Because?
05:29Bell works there too.
05:32You could have that.
05:33Thank you, Jimmy.
05:41Business or pleasure?
05:43What are you doing here?
05:45Someone's jumpy today.
05:46Yeah, well, you crept up on me.
05:48In answer to your question, pleasure.
05:50I'm just looking for availability.
05:52Okay.
05:53And we could always pay.
05:54Make sure someone has availability.
05:57It's your answer to everything, isn't it?
05:59Money.
05:59Hey, this is our wedding day.
06:01I want you to have the best day possible.
06:02And in answer to your question, no.
06:04It's not always about money.
06:06Hey.
06:07Are you still in front of me in there?
06:09Yeah.
06:11Yeah, why wouldn't it be?
06:12Well, I don't want to say you've taken your eye off the ball recently, but...
06:14Well, maybe a dingle ball.
06:16Isn't that interesting?
06:17I'll be there, and I haven't taken my eye off anything.
06:22Oh, speak of the devil.
06:24Hey, I've got one for you.
06:26What do you think of wedding bells?
06:32They just leave a smell wherever they go, don't they?
06:35Ciao.
06:41Got it framed?
06:43Yeah.
06:44Well, the kids helped me choose that.
06:45I'll be honest, I'm not 100% sure what I'm looking at there, but I have never been more excited
06:51about anything in my entire life.
06:53I'm almost as excited as the kids.
06:55I mean, they're counting down the days.
07:26I'm sorry, why have you brought me here?
07:27I mean, they have the kingdom vegetables, but we've also got spring onions, a glut of radishes, almost an embarrassment
07:33of rhubarb.
07:33I've said that it looks like you're going to be busy.
07:35It will be dope.
07:36I'll leave you to it.
07:37Don't worry too hard.
07:44Oi.
07:46Oh, sorry, I was just on my way to the...
07:47Do what you want to me, but don't you dare bring my family into it.
07:50I think you're going to have to elaborate.
07:52I'm not quite sure what you're referring to.
07:53Oh, I think you do.
07:55Making out that I don't want to be at home.
07:57That Layla's doing my head in.
07:58That I can't wait to get back to work.
08:00I'm not quite sure you're ready to go back to work.
08:02Are you actually getting enough sleep?
08:04Seriously, what is wrong with you?
08:05And I could ask you the same question, Jacob.
08:07Honestly, if you're struggling, perhaps you need to talk to someone.
08:10I'm talking to you.
08:11Well, you're going to have to hit the pause button, because nature calls.
08:22I can't do this.
08:24I'm sorry.
08:25I know I said I could, but I can't.
08:27It's just too much, all right?
08:29I don't want to let you down, but I'm not...
08:30Hey, hey, hey, slow down.
08:32Joe has told the kids I'm pregnant.
08:34And now it's all they're talking about.
08:36They think they've got this whole home farm, family life stretching in front of them.
08:40It doesn't even exist.
08:42Okay.
08:43But the money you're going to get from Joe, they'll get a better one.
08:46Moira, do you think it's that easy?
08:47You've no idea how close they are to him now.
08:50Because they don't know who he is.
08:52What he is.
08:52He's a different person with us.
08:54Okay?
08:55He is.
08:56I know you don't get it, you won't believe it, but it's true.
08:58And this isn't about the money.
08:59We both knew this wasn't going to be easy.
09:01And we're just getting started.
09:03No.
09:04I'm just getting started.
09:05I'm the one who's having to pretend, and I can't do it.
09:18Wrong door.
09:19I'm not letting this go.
09:21No way.
09:21Oh, no.
09:22What are you going to do?
09:22Stamp your feet some more?
09:24Speak your dummy out?
09:25I'm sure there's a few of those lying around at home.
09:28You are a bully.
09:29Oh, that old chestnut again.
09:31You get off on it.
09:32Punch him down like you're on some power trip or something.
09:35And shall I tell you what you are?
09:36You are a weak, maladjusted young man with a huge chip on his shoulder, who clearly doesn't
09:40like having a woman as his boss.
09:42That is not true.
09:43And I don't want to throw any labels around to call you a misogynist, but if the women-hating
09:46cap fits...
09:46Are you serious?
09:47I don't hate women.
09:49I just hate you!
09:51What the hell are you doing?
10:10I just needed to speak to her.
10:11So you wait outside.
10:13You don't just barge into women's spaces.
10:17Honestly, I'm fine.
10:18It's fine.
10:18I wasn't scared.
10:20You need to get out.
10:22Now!
10:22Vanessa, I really wasn't trying to scare her.
10:24Don't make me have to tell you again.
10:32Thank God the cavalry arrived.
10:35I can't believe that just happened.
10:36Oh, it's nothing.
10:37It was a big misunderstanding.
10:38He just got himself a bit riled up.
10:40Yeah, but it's not for the first time, is it?
10:42I need to have words with him.
10:43No, no, no, no, no.
10:44It's nothing I can't deal with myself.
10:45Yeah, but you shouldn't have to.
10:47Who knows what would have happened if I didn't have walked in.
10:49No, but you did.
10:49And it's over now.
10:51He's a new father.
10:52He's probably all over the place.
10:53I know, but that's...
10:54It's no excuse.
10:57They're a young family.
10:58It's not easy.
11:00But if he's making things even harder...
11:02No, sometimes you have to tread carefully.
11:04No point throwing any petrol on the flames.
11:07He really doesn't have a clue how lucky he is to have a boss like you.
11:16If you've already made a decision,
11:18there's little that I can say to change your mind.
11:22But you're going to try anyway.
11:24When it all does get too much for you,
11:27and deep down you know it will,
11:30how easy do you think he's going to make it for you to walk away?
11:35But then it'll be too late
11:37because he will never let you leave with his child.
11:40And he will fight you in court with everything that he's got
11:44and things you don't even know he's got,
11:46and you won't be able to fight.
11:50How did I even get here?
11:53No, what you should still be asking yourself is
11:55how will I ever get away from here?
11:58And you already know the answer.
12:01And this might not be about money, Don,
12:03but if you go to war with him,
12:05you're going to need all the weapons you could lay your hands on,
12:08and they don't come cheap.
12:10Boy, I know you just want to stick the knife in him.
12:13But it won't be blood on your hands,
12:15it'll be money in the bank.
12:17I swear to God, this isn't about that.
12:20I don't need a cut, however big it is.
12:22I don't need anything from that man.
12:25And you're not doing this for me.
12:27You're not even doing it for yourself.
12:28You are doing it for your kids.
12:32You are a lot stronger than you think, Don.
12:34You just need to fight.
12:37I'm sick of fighting, Moira.
12:40I've done it my whole life.
12:41And we can all help you.
12:44You just need to let us help you.
12:52I owe you a pint.
12:53A hard day's work always deserves a reward.
12:56I don't care if I never see a radish again.
12:59Oh, come off it.
13:00You loved every minute.
13:01I think you should thank your son for volunteering it.
13:03Yeah, Paddy.
13:04And will there be anybody else in the room?
13:06Right.
13:07And the decision,
13:09will that be there and then,
13:10or will they have to wait?
13:11Vet board.
13:12And how long does that take, usually?
13:15OK.
13:16No, it's fine.
13:17I probably won't sleep tonight, but...
13:19All right, I'll see you tomorrow.
13:21Bye-bye.
13:23Flippin' heck.
13:24What are you here, too?
13:25The allotment?
13:26Never mind the allotment.
13:27What were they all about?
13:28Sounds serious.
13:29Disciplinary room.
13:30It's tomorrow.
13:31Well, better sooner rather than later, I suppose.
13:34Pint, pint.
13:34Yes, please.
13:35Yeah, go on then.
13:38Paddy,
13:39I know what it's like, really important.
13:41Really important.
13:42It's everything.
13:42If I'm not a vet, I don't know what I am.
13:44Yeah, but the main thing is, you're not in prison.
13:47If I don't get my job back tomorrow,
13:48therefore, my life,
13:49I might as well be in prison.
13:50Once they come to the census,
13:52they'll give you your job back in a heartbeat.
13:54Yeah.
13:55Well, hopefully there's a tiny little chink of light
13:57right at the very end of the tunnel.
13:59I think we're already out the tunnel, Paddy.
14:01You should have realised it.
14:05Thanks, bye.
14:12Vanessa.
14:14I swore I wouldn't say anything.
14:16Look, about before.
14:17What the hell were you doing?
14:18Whatever you think you know.
14:20I know that you walked into the ladies' toilet
14:22making a woman feel very uncomfortable.
14:24I don't want to say frightened.
14:26Frightened?
14:27Are you serious?
14:28Did she even tell you why I was in there?
14:29Because you clearly have a problem with a female boss.
14:33There's some weird power dynamic going on with you.
14:35No, she's been telling Sarah
14:36that I'm desperate to get back to work.
14:38That I pretty much hated being a dad.
14:40Just all lies.
14:41I only see one liar, and it isn't your boss.
14:44No, but she is the liar.
14:45She is the one with the problem.
14:47What, so you decided to barge into the women's toilet
14:49and attack her?
14:50I didn't attack her.
14:52Is that what she said?
14:53Just stay away from her, do you hear me?
14:55Because if I have to,
14:56I will make sure there'll be real consequences.
14:58Vanessa, you don't...
14:59Stop! Just stop!
15:02I hate saying this, Jacob, but honestly,
15:05your mother would be ashamed of you.
15:09So, what is going on?
15:10Let him tell you.
15:16What was all that about?
15:19It's nothing.
15:21Jacob, that was not nothing.
15:24Fine, I'll go ask for an ass myself then, shall I?
15:27It's Dr Todd!
15:32She's just been bullying me.
15:38It's a new door, it's a new...
15:42What's up?
15:43What's wrong?
15:44Nothing, nothing, I'm fine.
15:45It's just my laptop playing up.
15:47It's technology.
15:48You know what I'm like.
15:49Yes, I do know what you're like.
15:50Because you're my wife.
15:51And I know there's nothing wrong with your laptop.
15:53Honestly, babe, it's not important.
15:55Right?
15:56After everything you've been through,
15:57look, now you're on the other side.
16:00I don't want you worrying about me.
16:02Randy?
16:03Are you serious?
16:05And also,
16:06I can't solve the problem
16:07if I don't know what the problem is.
16:09Yeah, well,
16:11some things can't be solved.
16:13I thought you were rushed off your feet.
16:19Oh.
16:21It's been like this for ages.
16:24I've had no bookings,
16:25like, no walkings,
16:26and with everything that's been going on,
16:29my head just wanted the right place to fix it.
16:31It's OK.
16:31No, it's not OK,
16:32because I don't know what I've done wrong.
16:34Everyone just wants to the
16:35all singing, all dancing,
16:36fancy places in town.
16:38Hang on.
16:39Is this anything to do with me?
16:41What I've done?
16:42People knowing that you're married to me?
16:44No, no, no, no, come on.
16:46Now you're overthinking things.
16:49I don't know what I'm going to do.
16:53It's going to be all right.
16:55And all things probably look bad at the moment.
16:56No, it is bad.
16:58No, actually, do you know what it's worth?
16:59It's horrific.
17:01I've got me overhead,
17:02the rent,
17:04and...
17:04I don't think I'm going to survive.
17:16I don't think I'm going to survive.
17:17It's a starting point.
17:18So what are you saying, Belle?
17:19It's a good idea,
17:20but it's not good enough.
17:21Surely you agree
17:22if we're changing the tagline of the whole business,
17:23we speak to professionals.
17:24Am I not a professional?
17:26No, I'm not, Dawn.
17:26I'm sorry, but you're not.
17:27I mean, you bring other great stuff to the company.
17:31OK.
17:31All right.
17:33Refreshments?
17:34No, I'm going to take this.
17:36Hi.
17:38Thanks so much for calling me back.
17:41If only that annoying bell would stop ringing.
17:45I just feel like I'm banging my head against a brick wall.
17:47No, no.
17:48I'm something much more dense,
17:49much harder.
17:50A dingle.
17:52I know it sounds awful,
17:55but I wish I could own take of her myself.
17:58I mean, I don't have to listen to her questioning me,
18:00putting the brakes on.
18:01Maybe you could.
18:04Sure, yeah,
18:05I'll just buy Belle out.
18:07I could buy her out.
18:08Oh, great.
18:09OK.
18:10And is it just you?
18:10Seriously?
18:12When it comes to business
18:14and putting dingles in their place,
18:16I'm always serious.
18:18No, no, no way.
18:20Why?
18:21Because I couldn't ask you to do that.
18:23What if I insisted?
18:25Bye, Dawn.
18:32I don't even remember when it started.
18:36Or what made it start.
18:39I mean, she was pretty hard with everyone.
18:43All the students.
18:44But with me, she just got harder and harder.
18:47Like it was actually personal.
18:51And all I could think was why.
18:54What had I done wrong?
18:55Nothing.
18:58I mean, I didn't get things right all the time.
19:01I made some mistakes,
19:02didn't know the answers to all the questions,
19:04but I wasn't the only one.
19:07But I was the only one that she'd pick on.
19:11And you know me,
19:12I'm not like,
19:13I'm not overly sensitive.
19:15No, totally.
19:21I know, but it felt like she was waiting for me to...
19:24to mess up so she could stamp on me again.
19:28And then sometimes,
19:29she wouldn't even wait,
19:30she would just keep kicking me.
19:32Like she wanted a reaction,
19:33just so she could fail me.
19:36Look, there's some people
19:36who are just not wired, right?
19:39I'm so sorry, Jacob.
19:49I want to be a doctor so much.
19:53But she makes me dread going to the hospital.
19:57I don't sleep.
20:04And then I feel knackered,
20:06and I go in,
20:09and I...
20:11and I just feel sick.
20:15Like I'm waiting for her to come for me again.
20:25I don't know who I am anymore.
20:28What I'm meant to be, or...
20:30Look, listen, you are my husband.
20:32You are the father to our baby,
20:34and now I know what you're going through.
20:35We can deal with this.
20:37Together.
20:43I love you.
20:44We're going to get through this, okay?
20:46I'm going to help you.
20:48I can't believe it's over.
20:50I know Paddy's got a suspended sentence, but...
20:52At least they're not behind bars.
20:55Yeah, some people don't know what that's like.
20:58Sometimes you wake up,
20:59and it feels like you're still in there.
21:02I mean, you leave prison,
21:03but it takes a while for prison to alleviate.
21:06Have you heard of knocking?
21:08No, you're going to want to hear this.
21:10Okay, what would you say
21:11if Joe wanted to buy you out of take a vow?
21:14Are you serious?
21:15Well, I'd say that someone's put the idea
21:17during his head, Don.
21:18We'd angled the bait.
21:20Any bit.
21:21You joke him?
21:22Bit hard.
21:23How hard?
21:24Well, the money's going to be in my account tomorrow.
21:27What?
21:28How was it this easy?
21:30I couldn't have done it without you.
21:33Yes!
21:34Oh, this makes me so happy.
21:36Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
21:58Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
