00:26I'll see you next time
00:36Hiya, this is Alan
00:38No, no, she's upstairs, getting ready to go out
00:44You didn't mean what you said the other night
00:46I always mean what I say
00:47Oh, come on, you'd had a bit too much to drink
00:49Max, you made a fool of me
00:51Look, please, I know it's difficult being rejected
00:54Being rejected by you is unbelievable
00:56And it was hard for me to do
00:58But I love Susanna and I want her back
01:01Well, you've got no chance
01:02Because once she finds out you tried it on with another woman
01:04I don't understand
01:06What do you get out of telling her such a lie?
01:08It's not a lie, it's a prediction
01:09And by telling her now, I'll be doing her a favour
01:11This has nothing to do with Susanna, it has to do with you, your ego
01:14Whatever
01:15Your motive's not altruism, it's revenge
01:18I'll see her in the bar tonight
01:20Actually, she's not going
01:21Well, it's not what I've heard
01:29Come on, Vic, you're the host
01:31You're supposed to be there by now
01:32You're named Deborah
01:33Let's hope it's holding a basket
01:35And we need a bigger mirror
01:37She seems okay
01:38It is a bit weird, though, isn't it?
01:40Having a week five weeks after the funeral
01:42Well, any excuse for a party
01:43Yeah, but do you think anyone will come?
01:45Nobody's around here new more
01:46Well, some of his workmates are coming over
01:48Vic's hired a minibus
01:49Oh, so it's us and a shower full of mank accountants
01:51Still, if I can just get to make it up with Katie's tonight
01:54I might even enjoy myself
01:55Katty, Katie, forget her
01:56Well, she's a mate
01:58Was a mate?
02:00Yeah, well, has one, like, fallen out with her?
02:02She fell out with you? She's jealous
02:04You've got a gorgeous guy on your arm
02:06And all she's got is a chip on her shoulder
02:08Isn't that right, Nathan?
02:09Well, the gorgeous guy bit is
02:11Come on, Vic, we're late
02:12We're walking ahead, Doc
02:13Yeah
02:14I'm Kate
02:15Come in, come in
02:20How are you feeling?
02:21Fine
02:23Sure?
02:24Positive
02:25I don't think you're supposed to feel fine
02:26Going to your husband's wake
02:28But, you know
02:30Are the pills helping?
02:32I think so
02:34I can think of him now
02:35Without automatically becoming upset
02:37Good
02:38Do you think?
02:40What, six weeks is a long enough morning period, is it?
02:42No
02:43But life goes on
02:46Yeah
02:48And that's what tonight's all about
02:49It's not just a good boy to mark
02:57It seems disrespectful to me
02:58It's her husband and she'd know if it was disrespectful or not
03:02Don't you want to go?
03:03I didn't even know the fella
03:05Well, maybe it's what he would have wanted
03:07Well, I suppose so
03:09Treat us a farewell drink then
03:10Not for him
03:11For day
03:13Have you finished your packing?
03:15Yeah
03:16What time are you leaving?
03:18Well, first thing in the morning
03:20It's a long way, Bournemouth
03:22It certainly is
03:25Hey, come on
03:26I'll have a quick wash and I'll take you both over there
03:28Emily as well if she's home in time
03:29It's my treat
03:30To say thank you for putting up with me
03:31Hey, what do you think?
03:33Well, I mean
03:34That's okay with you both
03:36Why not?
03:38Oh, great
03:39Let's just talk about us moving our wedding day now
03:41I wouldn't have that
03:42I'm not
03:43Jackie should move this
03:44I think Let's just want to smooth things over, you know
03:47It's Jackie who should be doing that
03:48She doesn't care about your wedding
03:50Yes, she does
03:51Listen, I'll have a word with Nathan when he comes in tonight
03:54What she cares about is Nathan, this posh mate
03:56I'll sort out this wedding day fiasco
03:58You try and sort it out with our Jackie
03:59If she wants to apologise to me, that's fine
04:02Until she does, we'll have nothing more to do with her
04:06It'd be nice to have one last decent pint before I go
04:09Don't you like the beer down south?
04:11No
04:12It's not the same yet
04:15That's one thing
04:16I'll definitely miss
04:20Well, I bet you're looking forward to seeing your Bernard again
04:23I bet you're looking forward to getting your front room back
04:26No
04:27I've hardly noticed you
04:29Well, this is one less job for the morning
04:32It's a good job
04:33I didn't pack my shaving gear
04:38Listen, Jess
04:41Can I ask you something?
04:43What is it?
04:45Well, do you mind if I keep the shirt on that I took off
04:47Because I've packed all the others
04:49If I get one out, I'll have to iron it
04:50I'll iron it for you
04:51No, I don't want you to go to any trouble
04:53It's no trouble
04:54No, I'll iron it myself
04:55Don't do that
04:56No, honestly
04:57No, why don't you put the old one back on?
05:00No, you're right
05:01It's our last night together and I should make an effort
05:03I didn't mean it like that
05:05The other one looked fine
05:07But I feel such a scruff
05:08I like it
05:10It looks nice on you
05:12What, are you sure?
05:13Positive
05:15All right, then
05:17Anyway, it's not going to be our last night together
05:20How do you mean?
05:21I'm coming to visit, aren't I?
05:23I should certainly hope so
05:25Do they play bingo in Bournemouth?
05:27Oh, yeah, I'm sure
05:28There was someone from Bournemouth when they hit the big link
05:31Not so long ago
05:32Well, that's it, then
05:33I'll come down on a nice weekend break sometime
05:35Ah, great
05:38You've missed a bit
05:41Thanks
05:44We'd better get out of here
05:45Oh, Nicky's waiting to get in
05:49Right
05:52Oh, I hope people turn up
05:54Vic really needs this to go well tonight
05:55One, two, one, two
05:57Oh, ignore her, Jackie
05:59It's her loss
06:01Nathan, do the honours
06:02We'll grab a table before they all disappear in the rush
06:04What are you having?
06:05Hot lager, please
06:06And a large G&T
06:11Where are they all?
06:13The minibus is here
06:14Well, perhaps they're making their own way
06:17Oh, there's Rob, I think
06:19He came to the wedding
06:20Excuse me, I'll just go and find out what's happened
06:22Thank you
06:25It's not working very good, is it?
06:27Oh, well, it's free booze, Doc
06:29Pleased to be crawling with people in no time
06:32Ah, perhaps you're right
06:33Hiya
06:35Erm, aren't you going to kick me, Alex?
06:36No, Mike will do it when he gets back
06:38Where is he?
06:39He's putting a poster up in the ladies
06:41Warning them to keep an eye on the handbags
06:42Of course
06:44Hi
06:45Hi
06:46Hi
06:47He's not coming in
06:48He's got up to a good bit in his book
06:50Who's that?
06:52Rob Chauffeur
06:54Can you believe it?
07:01Hello, Lindsay
07:07What are you doing here?
07:08I wanted to see you
07:09Well, you can't stay, you'll have to go
07:11Why?
07:11Because people around here have had enough of drug dealers
07:14I'm not working, it's midnight on
07:15Well, just get out
07:17It's a free country, I can have a drink in a public bar if I want to
07:20Yeah
07:21So don't expect me to keep you company
07:26Er, same again, is it, folks?
07:28Quicker off the blocks
07:29And Rob's driving us to drink
07:31I couldn't very well leave him by himself
07:33Yeah, it's okay
07:34You think some of the lads have come over on the train later
07:39Actually, I've not seen him before
07:41Maybe he's from Mark's place
07:43I'll go and introduce myself
07:47Do you think she's all right?
07:50It just seems to be
07:52Look, um
07:52I really hope things work out between the two of you
07:55So do I, Nick
07:58So do I
08:03His name's Dave
08:04He is from Manchester
08:07He's very nice, but he's never heard of Mark
08:09And he thinks this whole thing is just a bit weird
08:13He's probably right
08:18Hey, what time would you like to see at the buffet?
08:20Oh, I don't know
08:20Nine, ten
08:21One of the night
08:22Oh, have you seen Rob?
08:24He's in bits
08:24He's got it into his head
08:25That Mark
08:26I just threw himself down the stairs
08:27I mean, it was an accident
08:28Well, I did, but
08:29He's gone on the box
08:30I wish I'd been there for him
08:31Must have really liked him
08:32He'll get over it
09:00It's about to mix up with these wedding dates
09:01Yes, it's unfortunate
09:03Well, can't you come to some sort of arrangement?
09:06Oh, I hope so
09:07You know, the women are like to fall on out over all this
09:09Yeah, I gathered that
09:10So, it's down to us to sort it all out
09:13Well, what do you suggest?
09:14Well, man's a manly
09:15One date is as good as the other, innit?
09:17Well, I'm glad you think like that, Mike
09:18That'll make things so much simpler
09:20Thanks very much
09:20No, no, hang on
09:22I didn't mean that
09:23I mean
09:23Well, we moved our date first
09:25So you should be the one changing yours
09:26Well, I wish I could, Mike
09:27But it's not that easy
09:28Sorry
09:30You're glad to meet him at the palm of your hand, eh?
09:32No, but
09:32I hate him
09:38Are you all right?
09:40I don't know
09:42Do you want to talk?
09:43No
09:44Good, because I don't really want to listen
09:50This is ridiculous, isn't it?
09:52I mean, who's it supposed to be for?
09:55Mark, me
09:56Darren
09:58What am I trying to prove?
09:59That I love him?
10:00That I'm over him?
10:01That I feel guilty?
10:02That I don't feel guilty?
10:04Does it matter?
10:06Of course it does
10:08It's a man's life
10:09No, it's just a party
10:12And that to Rob, it isn't
10:15He sat on his own in a minibus to come here
10:18He must have been genuinely fond of Mark
10:20And I didn't even invite him to the funeral
10:24Perhaps the one person that could have cried honest tears for him
10:27And he wasn't even there
10:27Rob is a sad and lonely man
10:30This was the best invite he's had in years
10:32That's why he's here
10:34And Mark's probably up there now laughing himself silly
10:36That we've been stuck with him all night
10:39Yeah, you're probably right
10:41Mark, Mark's gone
10:42There's nothing we can do about that
10:45But there's a party going on
10:47And you're the belle of the ball
10:50Supposed to be the grieving widow
10:53You've got to get on with your life sooner or later
10:55And I thought that's what tonight was all about
10:59Yeah, it is in a way
11:00Well, come on then
11:01Let's have some fun
11:03There are at least two men down there
11:05Who can't take their eyes off you
11:06And that's not including Rob
11:09Two
11:20Pint of Mark, please
11:21Oh, sorry, we don't tell her
11:22You don't serve Mark?
11:24Well, there's no demand
11:26You don't serve Mark?
11:28Times change, Ray
11:29Well, it's not my idea of progress
11:31There's 12 different lagers
11:34Oh, well, yeah
11:35And what do you have to sit so close to where you're here for?
11:37To love my hands and a lock, you know why
11:39Emily!
11:41I'm with my family
11:42She only drinking orange juice?
11:44I've got as much right as anybody else in here
11:45To be paying my last respects to Mark
11:48Yeah, alright
11:48But I'll be keeping an eye on you, okay?
11:51Well, it's a raised family now, is he?
11:53You know what I mean
11:54What do you think of her?
11:55He's alright
11:57It's obvious he doesn't want a girl
11:58It's obvious she wants him to stay
12:00He's not doing anything about it
12:01Pathetic, isn't it?
12:03It's awesome, isn't it?
12:04What?
12:05It's bang the heads together
12:10That's the one glowing
12:11Tall, black jacket
12:13His name's Dave
12:15I met him earlier
12:16Well, he was very interested
12:18His eyes followed you all the way up the stairs
12:21And there they are again
12:24That's number one
12:26And here comes number two
12:29How are you doing?
12:30Never better, thanks
12:32I'll leave you to it
12:33I've got a drink waiting
12:35I think you're handling all this brilliantly
12:37Thank you, kind sir
12:38You look fantastic
12:40So do you
12:45I thought you said we had no future together
12:47Did I?
12:48That's what you really want right now
12:51No
12:51No, you're right
12:53You're absolutely right
12:54It's far too complicated
12:58Leave
12:59Sorry I dashed off like that before
13:01It's alright
13:01I'm sorry to butt in
13:03But I just wanted to offer my condolences
13:05Thank you
13:07I'm sorry it's so late
13:08But I didn't know you
13:09Until five weeks after he died
13:11I know
13:12It's mad, isn't it?
13:15Well
13:16She's laughing
13:16She's mingling
13:17They've got to be good signs
13:18Yeah, I sure hope so
13:20Where's Jackie going?
13:22She's come to make her peace with Katie
13:24I lost cause if ever
13:25There was one
13:27Look, this is stupid
13:28You sitting on one side of the room
13:29And me on the other
13:30You chose to sit over there
13:32You blank me
13:33You started it
13:34How did I start it?
13:35You haven't stopped blanking me
13:36Since you've been seeing him
13:38Look, I'm not arguing
13:39With it in front of Lindsay
13:40Carry on
13:41I'm enjoying it
13:42Oh, you're not going to find me now, are you?
13:43No
13:44Just having a quiet drink out with me mates
13:47Fine
13:48Well, just so you know
13:49I've had an offer for the club
13:50Oh, good
13:50Well, if you take my advice
13:52You'll accept it
13:53Oh, as if I need your advice
13:54I've already decided to accept it
13:56And I'm just about going to break even as well
13:58Which is an absolute miracle
13:59Concision who I have for a business partner
14:01And you'll be getting one off
14:04Well, that's me
14:05Well, I'm truly told
14:07Nathan, I've decided
14:10Decided what?
14:11I'm going to leave all this behind
14:12The club
14:13This place
14:13I'm going to forget about the past
14:15We're getting married
14:16And then I'm going to move down to London with you
14:18Hey!
14:18Woo-hoo!
14:19That was terrific
14:21Barman
14:21Barman, a bottle of bubbly
14:23The finest one you've got
14:24That'll have to do
14:25We're celebrating
14:27Jackie's joining the brain drain
14:28She's leaving Liverpool
14:30And heading south for civilisation
14:33Did you know about this?
14:34No
14:35What a nice way to hear, eh?
14:37Well, I won't be sorry to see the back of her
14:39Right, I'm going to have a drink with Susanna
14:41I'll see you later
14:43What weren't you told?
14:45There's enough of this, we're going home
14:47Oh, that's such a pity
14:48You're the life and soul of the party
14:50Why don't you come over and join us?
14:53You're my best
14:54To see you two sat here now
14:56You'd think you're the couple again
14:58We can sit together in a bar
14:59And have a civilised conversation
15:02Congratulations
15:03Barman, a gob says you're moving down south
15:05Yeah, that's right
15:06Good riddance
15:07She's only jealous
15:09You don't mean that
15:10I do
15:11First and last time she'll ever say those words
15:13Shut up, Deborah
15:14Sorry, was I thinking aloud?
15:16See the kind of cow you're mixing with now?
15:18And that's what passes for poetry round here
15:20Hey, you're the one who's kicking off
15:22You've changed
15:23No, Katie, I've grown up
15:25We're not kids anymore
15:26Come on, girls
15:26You remember where you are, eh?
15:28Calm down is the phrase I think you're keeping
15:30Shut up
15:31Shut up
15:32Hasn't she changed, Mike?
15:33Katie, will you go home?
15:34He knows it
15:35Rachel knows it
15:35Everyone knows it
15:36Jackie, sit down
15:38If I have changes for the better
15:39And you hear
15:41God doesn't make you any better
15:42I'm doing something with my life
15:44You're way
15:44I'm doing what I want to do
15:46You're doing what he wants you to do
15:48Yeah, and if you were any kind of me
15:49You'd support me
15:50Like you'd support me
15:51When I got sacked by this beauty, eh?
15:53That's naisy comments
15:54That's all I ever give off you about him
15:55It doesn't matter, ignore it
15:56Oh, but when you were hopping from one musgrove to the next
15:58I was always there for you
15:59I was always there for you
16:00Just like he sacked me
16:01Telling you what you wanted to hear
16:02And when he does
16:02Whenever you needed to hear
16:02Don't think you'll be able to go run into this lot
16:04Cos they'll be on his side
16:06You are jealous
16:06You'll be stuck down there
16:07Needing a mate
16:07Oh, and do you think I'm going to be sure?
16:09But it won't be made
16:10Cos you dumped me
16:10Just like you dumped your own child
16:15Oh, God, that is
16:16I'm getting into bed
16:17You're jealous of the cow
16:19I won't watch it
16:20I want you to help
16:21Hey, hey, Casey, get up
16:27You're on board
16:27The new boss starts in a couple of weeks
16:30Yet while I own this place
16:31You'll never set foot on here again
16:33While you own it
16:34I wouldn't want to
16:35Well, I'll be glad to get the back of it
16:36Cos it's your best feature
16:37It's certainly not yours
16:41OK, folks
16:42Now that the excitement's over
16:43We've got a request to do
16:45If Katie is still here
