About A Boy
|
| 00:00:44 |
Okay, you ready for this? |
| 00:00:46 |
As ever. |
| 00:00:47 |
Let's play Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? |
| 00:00:52 |
Who wrote the phrase "No man is an island"? |
| 00:00:56 |
John Donne? John Milton? |
| 00:01:00 |
John F. Kennedy? |
| 00:01:02 |
Jon Bon Jovi? |
| 00:01:04 |
Jon Bon Jovi. Too easy. |
| 00:01:07 |
And, if I may say so, |
| 00:01:11 |
In my opinion, all men are islands. |
| 00:01:15 |
And what's more, now's the time to be one. |
| 00:01:18 |
This is an island age. |
| 00:01:20 |
A hundred years ago, |
| 00:01:23 |
No one had TV or CDs or DVDs or videos... |
| 00:01:26 |
...or home espresso makers. |
| 00:01:28 |
Actually, they didn't have anything cool. |
| 00:01:30 |
Whereas now, you see... |
| 00:01:31 |
...you can make yourself a little island paradise. |
| 00:01:33 |
With the right supplies and the right attitude... |
| 00:01:36 |
...you can be sun-drenched, tropical, a magnet... |
| 00:01:39 |
...for young Swedish tourists. |
| 00:01:41 |
Hi, it's Kristina. |
| 00:01:44 |
I had a great time last weekend. |
| 00:01:48 |
And I like to think that perhaps |
| 00:01:52 |
I like to think I'm pretty cool. |
| 00:01:56 |
I like to think I'm Ibiza. |
| 00:02:06 |
There were people who had |
| 00:02:08 |
I was beginning to realize I wasn't one of them. |
| 00:02:11 |
I just didn't fit. |
| 00:02:13 |
I didn't fit at my old school. |
| 00:02:15 |
I definitely didn't fit at my new one. |
| 00:02:19 |
I heard that some kids |
| 00:02:22 |
Mum couldn't do that, |
| 00:02:25 |
Because it was just her and me. |
| 00:02:28 |
She made400 a week. |
| 00:02:29 |
Where was I gonna get that kind of money from? |
| 00:02:32 |
Maybe if I was like that movie kid, |
| 00:02:35 |
...I could pay her that much. |
| 00:02:36 |
But if that meant being good at drama, forget it. |
| 00:02:39 |
I was crap at drama. |
| 00:02:40 |
'Cause I hated standing up in front of people. |
| 00:02:42 |
So, basically, I had to go to school. |
| 00:02:59 |
The sad fact is that, |
| 00:03:02 |
...from time to time I had to visit the mainland. |
| 00:03:13 |
This is Imogene. |
| 00:03:17 |
That's... Well, okay. |
| 00:03:22 |
Yeah. Got her. Lovely. |
| 00:03:27 |
Yeah, she's delightful, isn't she? |
| 00:03:32 |
I know. Isn't she? |
| 00:03:37 |
To tell the truth, |
| 00:03:39 |
You better take her back. |
| 00:03:43 |
She could've been yours |
| 00:03:46 |
Just think of that, yeah. |
| 00:03:48 |
So, the place is looking really nice. |
| 00:03:52 |
Barney, Barney, Barney. |
| 00:03:54 |
Say hello to Will, Barney. |
| 00:03:57 |
Here we go. It's the Antichrist. |
| 00:03:59 |
Hello, Barney. How are you? |
| 00:04:03 |
- He's lovely. |
| 00:04:06 |
And what about you, Will? |
| 00:04:09 |
I'd rather eat Barney's nappies. |
| 00:04:11 |
Not really. I'm sort of all right as I am. |
| 00:04:13 |
Please, Will. |
| 00:04:15 |
What does that mean? "Please" what? |
| 00:04:17 |
Look at yourself. |
| 00:04:19 |
You're 38 and you've never had a job... |
| 00:04:22 |
...or a relationship |
| 00:04:25 |
I wouldn't exactly say you were okay. |
| 00:04:28 |
I mean, I would say you were a disaster. |
| 00:04:30 |
I mean, what is the point of your life? |
| 00:04:34 |
Bloody hell. |
| 00:04:35 |
You're right. |
| 00:04:37 |
...but thank you for bringing it up. |
| 00:04:40 |
The reason we wanted you to come here today |
| 00:04:46 |
...how would you like to be |
| 00:04:51 |
Seriously? |
| 00:04:54 |
Listen, I'm really, really touched. |
| 00:04:57 |
But you must be joking. |
| 00:04:59 |
I couldn't possibly think |
| 00:05:03 |
You know me. |
| 00:05:05 |
I'll forget her birthdays until her 18th, |
| 00:05:10 |
...and possibly, let's face it, |
| 00:05:15 |
I mean, seriously, it's a very, very bad choice. |
| 00:05:18 |
We know, I just thought you had hidden depths. |
| 00:05:22 |
No. No. You've always had that wrong. |
| 00:05:24 |
I really am this shallow. |
| 00:05:28 |
Here we are. |
| 00:05:31 |
You know you don't have to walk me |
| 00:05:35 |
I know the way now. |
| 00:05:37 |
But what if I like walking you to school? |
| 00:05:45 |
Right. |
| 00:05:47 |
Who are you? |
| 00:05:48 |
I'm me. |
| 00:05:49 |
And what are you not? |
| 00:05:51 |
A sheep. |
| 00:05:52 |
Right. And what does a sheep go? |
| 00:06:04 |
Marcus? |
| 00:06:08 |
I love you. |
| 00:06:11 |
Look. |
| 00:06:13 |
I love you, too. |
| 00:06:23 |
"I love you, Marcus!" |
| 00:06:28 |
"Love you!" |
| 00:06:30 |
Look at him! |
| 00:06:36 |
While I couldn't accept the offer... |
| 00:06:38 |
...to become their child's godfather... |
| 00:06:40 |
...I did allow them to set me up with Angie, |
| 00:06:45 |
They had, however, being them, |
| 00:06:49 |
There's something you don't know about me. |
| 00:06:53 |
Yeah? |
| 00:06:55 |
Something exciting? |
| 00:07:00 |
I think so, yes. |
| 00:07:03 |
I have a 3-year-old boy. |
| 00:07:07 |
I wanted to throw the napkin on the floor, |
| 00:07:11 |
Brilliant. I love kids. |
| 00:07:14 |
Yeah. I like messing about with them. |
| 00:07:18 |
Doing kid things. |
| 00:07:19 |
I'd have been disappointed |
| 00:07:23 |
Why do you say that? |
| 00:07:24 |
God knows. |
| 00:07:26 |
Mainly because it sounded smooth and winning. |
| 00:07:30 |
Because I love kids so much. They're so lovely. |
| 00:07:36 |
What in God's name are you saying, |
| 00:07:40 |
She can't be buying this rubbish. |
| 00:07:45 |
But she did buy my rubbish. |
| 00:07:47 |
And for the next few weeks |
| 00:07:50 |
Her kid took to me, |
| 00:07:53 |
...I took him to the zoo |
| 00:07:57 |
I wish relationships |
| 00:07:59 |
You know, you are brilliant. |
| 00:08:01 |
I came to realize that with single mums... |
| 00:08:03 |
...particularly ones who'd been badly treated... |
| 00:08:05 |
...and eventually abandoned by the father |
| 00:08:11 |
You are a wonderful person. |
| 00:08:13 |
No, I'm not. |
| 00:08:16 |
But it was hard |
| 00:08:18 |
Eventually I began to wonder whether |
| 00:08:23 |
For instance, she was late for the new IMAX |
| 00:08:28 |
I'm so sorry. |
| 00:08:30 |
That pissed me off. |
| 00:08:31 |
- You okay? |
| 00:08:32 |
And there were deeper problems. |
| 00:08:34 |
She couldn't stay at my place, |
| 00:08:38 |
So we were always stuck watching some crap |
| 00:08:42 |
I'm afraid there's nothing |
| 00:08:45 |
Godl Nol Please, please, nol |
| 00:08:49 |
I was going to have to end it. |
| 00:08:51 |
But having been Will the Good Guy... |
| 00:08:52 |
...I didn't relish going back to my role of Will |
| 00:08:57 |
I'm sorry? |
| 00:08:58 |
You're breaking up with me? You... |
| 00:09:01 |
...self-centered bastard. |
| 00:09:04 |
I can't believe I've wasted all this time with you! |
| 00:09:08 |
You useless, superficial loser. |
| 00:09:18 |
Will... |
| 00:09:19 |
Then something magical happened. |
| 00:09:21 |
I'm sorry. |
| 00:09:23 |
I'm not sure this is working out. It's not you. |
| 00:09:28 |
You've been great. It's me. |
| 00:09:32 |
Well, my situation with Louie and his dad. |
| 00:09:36 |
I'm not ready to launch into a relationship |
| 00:09:47 |
Yeah. |
| 00:09:49 |
I'm so sorry. |
| 00:09:54 |
I think I understand. |
| 00:09:56 |
You're a wonderful man, Will. |
| 00:10:02 |
I'd never watched a woman |
| 00:10:06 |
She even wanted me to forgive her. |
| 00:10:09 |
Listen, you don't have anything |
| 00:10:13 |
So that was the end of Angie, |
| 00:10:17 |
Single mums. |
| 00:10:18 |
Why hadn't anyone told me about them before? |
| 00:10:21 |
Passionate sex, a lot of ego massage |
| 00:10:25 |
There must be thousands, just waiting |
| 00:10:29 |
Fabulous, sexy, gorgeous single mums. |
| 00:10:35 |
Can I have Cocoa Puffs? |
| 00:10:37 |
No, it's not Sunday. |
| 00:10:38 |
The crying had started again. |
| 00:10:43 |
...'cause now it was in the mornings. |
| 00:10:44 |
She'd never done that before. |
| 00:10:49 |
I couldn't figure it out. Nobody was dead. |
| 00:10:53 |
She had a job as a music therapist, |
| 00:10:57 |
So there was enough money |
| 00:10:59 |
Should I get my own breakfast? |
| 00:11:01 |
No, I'm doing it. |
| 00:11:11 |
So, you looking forward to school today? |
| 00:11:17 |
Today, you'll need to effect... |
| 00:11:19 |
...the decimal point when you multiply it by 10... |
| 00:11:22 |
...100 and 1000. |
| 00:11:26 |
"Nothing to do but frown |
| 00:11:29 |
"Rainy days and Mondays always get me down" |
| 00:11:39 |
Thank you very much, Marcus. |
| 00:11:51 |
Hi, Nicky. Hi, Mark. |
| 00:11:53 |
- Are you going to Computer Club later? |
| 00:11:57 |
Madonna! Go on, give us a song! |
| 00:11:59 |
You'd like that, wouldn't you? |
| 00:12:01 |
Spice Girls or something. Three of them. |
| 00:12:03 |
Yeah. Hey, Spice Girls. |
| 00:12:08 |
You made me lose my football. |
| 00:12:11 |
Marcus, we don't really want you |
| 00:12:15 |
- Why not? |
| 00:12:17 |
- They've got nothing to do with me. |
| 00:12:20 |
We never had trouble with them |
| 00:12:23 |
Now we get it every single day. |
| 00:12:26 |
Besides, everyone thinks you're weird. |
| 00:12:28 |
Only a bit, though. |
| 00:12:32 |
Okay. |
| 00:12:36 |
'Bye. |
| 00:12:43 |
There you have it. |
| 00:12:45 |
I was having a shit time at home |
| 00:12:52 |
It was fine deciding |
| 00:12:55 |
...but the frustrating truth was |
| 00:12:58 |
- Hi, Dad. |
| 00:13:03 |
Where did they hang out? |
| 00:13:26 |
I'm a single father, |
| 00:13:29 |
I'm a single father, I have a 2-year-old boy. |
| 00:13:37 |
SPAT. |
| 00:13:38 |
This was exciting. |
| 00:13:39 |
A potential gold mine of single mums. |
| 00:13:42 |
I could see the beautiful creatures now, |
| 00:13:45 |
...forgetting their troubles, |
| 00:13:48 |
That was when |
| 00:13:50 |
By the time I had the baby, |
| 00:13:55 |
Not even the one |
| 00:13:59 |
Well, with me, it was the week before the birth. |
| 00:14:04 |
He said I'd got too fat. |
| 00:14:07 |
Mine was shagging his secretary. |
| 00:14:10 |
Such a cliche. |
| 00:14:12 |
I'll tell you one thing: Men are bastards. |
| 00:14:15 |
After about 10 minutes... |
| 00:14:16 |
...I wanted to cut my own penis off |
| 00:14:22 |
Me. |
| 00:14:23 |
Yes. |
| 00:14:26 |
I have a 2-year-old. Ned. |
| 00:14:32 |
He's got blue eyes |
| 00:14:35 |
...and he's about 2'3". |
| 00:14:39 |
And his mum left. |
| 00:14:41 |
- Really? |
| 00:14:44 |
Yeah, I mean, |
| 00:14:48 |
...because we were so happy, you know? |
| 00:14:50 |
Sandra's neurology practice |
| 00:14:54 |
...and then one day her bags were packed, |
| 00:14:59 |
...in his Ferrari. |
| 00:15:00 |
Yeah. You know, the Modena? |
| 00:15:02 |
The one with the supercharged engine, |
| 00:15:08 |
- You got dumped then? |
| 00:15:15 |
May I ask, does your ex see Ned at all? |
| 00:15:20 |
Sorry, I didn't catch your name. |
| 00:15:23 |
Suzie. |
| 00:15:24 |
Suzie. |
| 00:15:26 |
She doesn't see much of him, no. |
| 00:15:29 |
How does he cope with that? |
| 00:15:31 |
He's a very good little boy. |
| 00:15:33 |
Very, very brave. |
| 00:15:35 |
They've got amazing resources, don't they? |
| 00:15:37 |
Just the other day I was thinking about my ex. |
| 00:15:40 |
He came crawling up, put his little pudgy arms |
| 00:15:44 |
"You hang in there, Dad. " |
| 00:15:47 |
God, that's amazing for a 2-year-old! |
| 00:15:50 |
Is it? |
| 00:15:54 |
Yeah, he's very special. Very, very special. |
| 00:15:56 |
Sometimes I think, you know, |
| 00:15:59 |
Teaching me the ways of the world. |
| 00:16:04 |
Sorry. |
| 00:16:09 |
Thank you. |
| 00:16:10 |
My God, what a performancel |
| 00:16:19 |
There you go. You okay? |
| 00:16:21 |
Yeah. Perfect, thanks. |
| 00:16:23 |
- Trust me? |
| 00:16:24 |
By the end of the evening, |
| 00:16:27 |
Single parents alone together! |
| 00:16:29 |
Single parents alone togetherl |
| 00:16:35 |
The problem was I also had |
| 00:17:08 |
The date was a SPAT picnic in Regent's Park, |
| 00:17:13 |
Sadly, Ned couldn't be there. |
| 00:17:14 |
His mum had come |
| 00:17:17 |
- What a shame. |
| 00:17:19 |
I'm sorry. |
| 00:17:20 |
- Got it. |
| 00:17:23 |
Hello, Megan. |
| 00:17:25 |
Yeah. |
| 00:17:26 |
A friend of mine from SPAT |
| 00:17:28 |
...so I said that we'd take her kid |
| 00:17:31 |
- Is that all right? |
| 00:17:33 |
The more the merrier. Right. |
| 00:17:35 |
Come on, slowcoach! |
| 00:17:40 |
I hated that SPATlot. |
| 00:17:42 |
Mum's friend Suzie was fine, but now there |
| 00:17:47 |
Marcus, Will. Will, Marcus. |
| 00:17:49 |
Hi there. |
| 00:17:52 |
Right. |
| 00:17:53 |
Pile in, everyone. |
| 00:18:00 |
What a shame he can't come. |
| 00:18:02 |
So, what do you do? |
| 00:18:04 |
Me? |
| 00:18:06 |
There were too many lies |
| 00:18:10 |
- Nothing. |
| 00:18:14 |
- What do you mean, before I did nothing? |
| 00:18:17 |
I did nothing. |
| 00:18:19 |
You've never worked? |
| 00:18:22 |
I've done the odd day here and there, but, no. |
| 00:18:27 |
Crazy, isn't it? |
| 00:18:29 |
It's... |
| 00:18:34 |
Brilliant. |
| 00:18:37 |
My God, I was going to have to tell her. |
| 00:18:39 |
What happened, in fact, |
| 00:18:44 |
...in 1958, and it's quite a famous song... |
| 00:18:48 |
...and I basically live off the royalties of that. |
| 00:18:51 |
You know Michael Jackson? |
| 00:18:53 |
He makes a 1,000,000 a minute. |
| 00:18:55 |
That's 60,000,000 an hour. |
| 00:18:57 |
I don't make a1,000,000 a minute. |
| 00:18:59 |
- Nothing like, sadly. |
| 00:19:00 |
Marcus! |
| 00:19:02 |
I was beginning to wonder |
| 00:19:06 |
So, what's this song then? |
| 00:19:08 |
If you can live off it, we must've heard of it. |
| 00:19:12 |
It's Santa's Super Sleigh. |
| 00:19:14 |
God, please don't sing it. |
| 00:19:16 |
"Look who's coming round the bend |
| 00:19:21 |
"With a ho, ho, ho and a hey, hey, hey, |
| 00:19:27 |
I expect people do that all the time. |
| 00:19:30 |
No, I think you two are the first. |
| 00:19:32 |
Sorry. I don't understand. |
| 00:19:36 |
Do carol singers have to pay you 10 percent? |
| 00:19:38 |
They should, but you can't |
| 00:19:42 |
So, how often do you look after him? |
| 00:19:45 |
Every once in a while. |
| 00:19:48 |
His mum's a little off-color sometimes. |
| 00:19:50 |
You call it off-color, I call it nuts. |
| 00:19:52 |
She's not nuts, Marcus. |
| 00:19:56 |
We'll have a nice picnic, and when |
| 00:20:00 |
My God! What the hell is that? |
| 00:20:02 |
My mum's homemade bread. |
| 00:20:06 |
It looks pretty good. |
| 00:20:08 |
No, it isn't. It's healthy. |
| 00:20:48 |
You miss him, don't you? |
| 00:20:51 |
Who? |
| 00:20:55 |
Ned! |
| 00:20:56 |
Yeah. |
| 00:20:58 |
Yeah, very much. |
| 00:21:00 |
He'd have loved this. |
| 00:21:04 |
I think I killed a duck. |
| 00:21:10 |
I was only trying to feed it. |
| 00:21:12 |
What's that floating |
| 00:21:15 |
Is that your mum's bread? |
| 00:21:17 |
You didn't have to throw the whole loaf. |
| 00:21:21 |
You the one who was throwing |
| 00:21:24 |
Yeah, he was, but I've stopped him now. |
| 00:21:27 |
You know, boys will be boys, and all that. |
| 00:21:30 |
So he killed it. |
| 00:21:31 |
No. Sorry, I misunderstood you. |
| 00:21:34 |
He was throwing bread |
| 00:21:36 |
...because Megan here was getting upset. |
| 00:21:41 |
Marcus wouldn't kill a duck. |
| 00:21:44 |
No. I love ducks. They're my |
| 00:21:48 |
They can kill sharks with their noses. |
| 00:21:53 |
I'll have to wade in and get it. |
| 00:21:56 |
Listen, I hope it's not some sort of epidemic. |
| 00:22:00 |
I think we beat the rap there, mate. |
| 00:22:04 |
Yeah. Well. |
| 00:22:08 |
Marcus? |
| 00:22:14 |
Mum. |
| 00:22:25 |
That day, the Dead Duck Day, |
| 00:22:30 |
That bloke Will just followed us in |
| 00:22:35 |
Afterwards, I realized that there was no way |
| 00:22:39 |
...because just then I didn't know |
| 00:22:43 |
But then I put the key in the lock, |
| 00:22:46 |
Are you decent? |
| 00:22:47 |
And a new part of my life started. |
| 00:22:50 |
Bangl |
| 00:22:56 |
Jesus Christ. |
| 00:22:58 |
Oh, my God. |
| 00:23:00 |
- Will, call an ambulance. |
| 00:23:04 |
Where's the phone, mate? |
| 00:23:22 |
It was horrible. Horrible. |
| 00:23:25 |
But driving fast behind the ambulance |
| 00:23:29 |
She's conscious. |
| 00:23:30 |
She was okay in the ambulance. |
| 00:23:32 |
She was asking after you, Marcus. |
| 00:23:33 |
That's nice of her. |
| 00:23:36 |
Listen, you know this has |
| 00:23:40 |
I mean, you're not the reason that she... |
| 00:23:43 |
You're not the reason that she's here. |
| 00:23:49 |
Yeah, that's right. |
| 00:23:53 |
I'll go get you some water. |
| 00:23:55 |
- I can get that. |
| 00:24:05 |
Your mum's going to be okay. |
| 00:24:07 |
Yeah, I suppose. |
| 00:24:09 |
That's not the point, though, is it? |
| 00:24:11 |
Right, you mean you're afraid |
| 00:24:15 |
Just shut up, all right? |
| 00:24:18 |
There you go, warm and flat. |
| 00:24:20 |
Are you with Fiona Brewer? |
| 00:24:22 |
Yes, I'm her friend Suzie. |
| 00:24:23 |
This is Marcus and Will. |
| 00:24:26 |
She's recovering well, |
| 00:24:29 |
I'm going to get a consent form for Ms. Brewer |
| 00:24:34 |
Right. |
| 00:24:37 |
So, my place or yours? |
| 00:24:40 |
Sorry. |
| 00:24:54 |
Okay. |
| 00:24:55 |
- I should get back to Ned, I think. |
| 00:24:57 |
All right. |
| 00:24:59 |
All in all, this was very interesting. |
| 00:25:01 |
So I'll call. |
| 00:25:03 |
But I wouldn't want to do it every night. |
| 00:25:05 |
See you soon. |
| 00:25:07 |
The thing is, |
| 00:25:10 |
I was the star of The Will Show. |
| 00:25:12 |
And The Will Show wasn't an ensemble drama. |
| 00:25:15 |
Guests came and went, but I was the regular. |
| 00:25:18 |
It came down to me, and me alone. |
| 00:25:20 |
If Marcus' mum |
| 00:25:23 |
...if her ratings were falling, |
| 00:25:28 |
Ultimately, the whole single-mum plot line |
| 00:27:01 |
I got the letter. Thanks. |
| 00:27:07 |
Oh, my God. I'd forgotten. |
| 00:27:11 |
You forgot? |
| 00:27:13 |
You forgot a suicide letter? |
| 00:27:14 |
I didn't think I'd have to remember it, did I? |
| 00:27:22 |
Did you read the part |
| 00:27:25 |
It's a bit hard for you |
| 00:27:28 |
I'm sorry. |
| 00:27:36 |
I can understand why you're angry, Marcus. |
| 00:27:45 |
I don't feel the same as I did yesterday, |
| 00:27:48 |
What? |
| 00:27:50 |
It's all just gone away? All that? |
| 00:27:52 |
No, but... |
| 00:27:54 |
...at the moment, I feel better. |
| 00:27:58 |
"At the moment" is no good to me. |
| 00:28:00 |
I can see you feel better at the moment. |
| 00:28:03 |
But what happens when you finish your tea? |
| 00:28:07 |
- I can't be here to watch you all the time. |
| 00:28:12 |
We have to look after each other. The two of us. |
| 00:28:16 |
Suddenly I realized |
| 00:28:21 |
You need a backup. |
| 00:28:22 |
If you're only two people, |
| 00:28:25 |
...then you're on your own. |
| 00:28:27 |
Two isn't a large enough number. |
| 00:28:28 |
You need three, at least. |
| 00:28:31 |
- Three what? |
| 00:28:34 |
But I'd had a great idea. |
| 00:28:36 |
The important thing in island living |
| 00:28:40 |
I find the key is to think of a day |
| 00:28:43 |
...each unit consisting |
| 00:28:46 |
Full hours can be a little bit intimidating... |
| 00:28:49 |
...and most activities take about half an hour. |
| 00:28:51 |
Taking a bath: One unit. |
| 00:28:53 |
Watching Countdown: |
| 00:28:54 |
Okay... |
| 00:28:56 |
One unit. |
| 00:28:58 |
Web-based research: |
| 00:29:02 |
Two units. |
| 00:29:03 |
Exercising: Three units. |
| 00:29:07 |
Having my hair carefully disheveled: Four units. |
| 00:29:10 |
It's amazing how the day fills up. |
| 00:29:12 |
I often wonder, to be absolutely honest... |
| 00:29:14 |
...if I'd ever really have time for a job. |
| 00:29:17 |
How do people cram them in? |
| 00:29:25 |
Yeah, Will here. |
| 00:29:26 |
It's Marcus. |
| 00:29:28 |
It's Marcus. |
| 00:29:30 |
Marcus? |
| 00:29:31 |
Marcus. Hi. |
| 00:29:35 |
How'd you get my number? |
| 00:29:37 |
From Suzie. |
| 00:29:38 |
I thought you'd like to take me out for the day |
| 00:29:40 |
And why did you think that, Marcus? |
| 00:29:42 |
Suzie said we hit it off. |
| 00:29:44 |
Did she? |
| 00:29:46 |
- And you said, "See you soon. " |
| 00:29:49 |
"See you soon. " |
| 00:29:50 |
The night you dropped us off. Remember? |
| 00:29:54 |
This is soon, all right, Marcus. |
| 00:29:58 |
The thing is, mate, |
| 00:30:01 |
Why? I thought you did nothing. |
| 00:30:04 |
I've got Ned and stuff to look after. |
| 00:30:08 |
Matter of fact, I should be on the way |
| 00:30:12 |
What's that noise? |
| 00:30:13 |
That's a lawn mower. |
| 00:30:14 |
So, you know, just time-wise it's not... |
| 00:30:19 |
Tell you what, just hold the line one sec. |
| 00:30:22 |
Hold on, one sec. Thanks. |
| 00:30:24 |
But then I thought, "Why not?" |
| 00:30:26 |
Why shouldn't I take |
| 00:30:29 |
I could be Uncle Will. |
| 00:30:33 |
Okay, Marcus. You're on. |
| 00:30:35 |
I'll come if you take my mum, too. |
| 00:30:37 |
She has no money, so we'll have to go |
| 00:30:41 |
Listen, don't beat about the bush, Marcus. |
| 00:30:43 |
Why should I? We're poor. |
| 00:30:46 |
Bring your little boy, I don't mind. |
| 00:30:48 |
That's really big of you. |
| 00:30:50 |
Fine. Come round at 12:30 or something. |
| 00:30:52 |
Remember where we live? |
| 00:30:53 |
Flat 2, 31 Craysfield Road, |
| 00:30:57 |
England, the world, the universe. |
| 00:30:59 |
Yeah. |
| 00:31:06 |
So, Fiona, how are you? |
| 00:31:11 |
- I mean, how are you feeling? |
| 00:31:16 |
Great. |
| 00:31:18 |
I must still be a bit barmy, though. |
| 00:31:21 |
This kind of thing doesn't go away overnight, |
| 00:31:25 |
No. |
| 00:31:28 |
If Mum was going to get Will to marry |
| 00:31:33 |
At least she looked good. |
| 00:31:34 |
I had her put on that nice hairy jumper... |
| 00:31:35 |
...and the earrings she got from her friend |
| 00:31:38 |
The kid seemed to think |
| 00:31:41 |
As for his mum, she was clearly insane... |
| 00:31:43 |
...and appeared to be wearing |
| 00:31:46 |
This had better be quick. |
| 00:31:49 |
I'll start with the artichoke, please. |
| 00:31:51 |
Then I'll have a mushroom omelet with fries |
| 00:31:54 |
- I'll have the vegetable platter. |
| 00:31:57 |
I'd never have guessed. |
| 00:31:58 |
Steak sandwich, please, mate. Thanks. |
| 00:32:04 |
This was going really well. |
| 00:32:06 |
I wondered if we were going to move into |
| 00:32:12 |
"I heard he sang a good song |
| 00:32:17 |
"I heard he had a style" |
| 00:32:21 |
I knew, of course, |
| 00:32:24 |
...that I'd soon be at home, tucked up in bed. |
| 00:32:27 |
I knew it, but I couldn't feel it. |
| 00:32:30 |
"And there he was, this young boy" |
| 00:32:34 |
I must've been insane. |
| 00:32:37 |
This was my punishment. |
| 00:32:38 |
"Strumming my pain with his fingers" |
| 00:32:44 |
The worst part was |
| 00:32:47 |
"Killing me softly with his song |
| 00:32:50 |
"Killing me softly" |
| 00:32:52 |
Come sing with us, Will. |
| 00:32:54 |
I should really get going. Thanks. |
| 00:32:58 |
That's the problem with charity. |
| 00:33:01 |
You have to mean things to help people. |
| 00:33:03 |
Like the time I volunteered |
| 00:33:07 |
...and very nearly made it. |
| 00:33:09 |
Or the time at Amnesty International. |
| 00:33:11 |
Did you know in Burma you get seven years |
| 00:33:15 |
Next time you laugh, think of Pa Pa Lay, |
| 00:33:18 |
We're at a crucial stage |
| 00:33:21 |
...which have been grossly abused |
| 00:33:24 |
We need your support more than ever. |
| 00:33:26 |
Together we can make a difference... |
| 00:33:27 |
You're kidding. |
| 00:33:31 |
Wait a minute. |
| 00:33:34 |
Talk about human rights violations. |
| 00:33:42 |
Is that right? You're in the bath now? |
| 00:33:45 |
You have to mean things to help people. |
| 00:33:48 |
Fiona meant Killing Me Softly. |
| 00:33:49 |
Killing Me Softly meant something to her |
| 00:33:56 |
Me, I didn't mean anything, about anything, |
| 00:34:00 |
I knew that guaranteed me |
| 00:34:31 |
Yet over the next few days, |
| 00:34:35 |
Like a presence lurking at the back of my mind. |
| 00:34:37 |
And I didn't like it. |
| 00:34:52 |
You don't have a kid, do you? |
| 00:34:56 |
What? |
| 00:34:56 |
You don't have a kid, do you? |
| 00:34:59 |
Of course I do! What are you on about? |
| 00:35:01 |
No, you don't. |
| 00:35:02 |
I've been watching you, |
| 00:35:06 |
What is it to you, anyway? |
| 00:35:10 |
Except you've been lying to me, |
| 00:35:14 |
- Can I come in? |
| 00:35:16 |
Why? |
| 00:35:17 |
'Cause I'm busy. |
| 00:35:18 |
- What are you doing? |
| 00:35:23 |
I could watch it with you, if you like. |
| 00:35:25 |
That's very nice of you... |
| 00:35:27 |
...but I usually manage on my own, thanks. |
| 00:35:32 |
Don't you have homework to do, or something? |
| 00:35:34 |
- Want to help? |
| 00:35:36 |
I meant, why don't you go home |
| 00:35:38 |
I'll do you a deal. |
| 00:35:40 |
I won't tell anyone you don't have a kid |
| 00:35:48 |
You'd want your mum |
| 00:35:50 |
You're not too bad. |
| 00:35:52 |
I mean, you told lies, |
| 00:35:56 |
And she's sad. I think she'd like a boyfriend. |
| 00:35:59 |
I can't just go out with someone... |
| 00:36:02 |
...because you want me to. |
| 00:36:05 |
- What's wrong with her? |
| 00:36:09 |
That's how it... |
| 00:36:11 |
Just go. |
| 00:36:13 |
Okay. But I'll be back. |
| 00:36:15 |
I'm really scared! |
| 00:36:18 |
That's the best I could come up with, |
| 00:36:22 |
But as a matter of fact, I was. |
| 00:37:28 |
Okay, that's it. Tim, goodbye. |
| 00:37:30 |
- Jill, goodbye. Carol, goodbye. |
| 00:37:32 |
And from me, arrivederci. Bye-bye. |
| 00:37:45 |
Thanks. See you. |
| 00:38:01 |
Hello, everybody. |
| 00:38:04 |
You remember yesterday, Carol, |
| 00:38:07 |
...that our guest, Tom O'Connell- |
| 00:38:09 |
Yes. |
| 00:38:12 |
But he is such a- |
| 00:38:17 |
Is that right? |
| 00:38:19 |
Another term for Hosta, I think. |
| 00:38:22 |
Yes, well. |
| 00:38:23 |
Named after Heinrich Christian Funck, |
| 00:38:30 |
Yes. I've got all his audios. |
| 00:39:09 |
Mum, did you always know |
| 00:39:13 |
Yeah, of course I did. |
| 00:39:14 |
I didn't decide on the spur of the moment |
| 00:39:18 |
Did you ask me if I wanted to be a vegetarian? |
| 00:39:20 |
What, when you were born? |
| 00:39:22 |
I do the cooking and I don't want to cook meat. |
| 00:39:24 |
You have to eat what I eat. |
| 00:39:28 |
But you don't let me go to McDonald's, either. |
| 00:39:31 |
Is this premature teenage rebellion? |
| 00:39:34 |
I can't stop you from going to McDonald's. |
| 00:39:37 |
I'd just be disappointed if you did. |
| 00:39:42 |
Don't worry, Mum. |
| 00:39:49 |
After a few visits, Will seemed to think |
| 00:39:53 |
But I knew he really wanted to watch |
| 00:39:57 |
So, how's it going at home then? |
| 00:39:59 |
- You mean my mum? |
| 00:40:02 |
She's all right, thanks. |
| 00:40:07 |
I mean, you know, she's... |
| 00:40:11 |
Yeah, I know. No, nothing like that. |
| 00:40:18 |
Does it still bother you, then? |
| 00:40:21 |
Does it bother me? |
| 00:40:24 |
Are you decent? |
| 00:40:30 |
Every single day. |
| 00:40:32 |
That's why I come here, instead of going home. |
| 00:40:34 |
A bit. When I think about it. |
| 00:40:39 |
Fucking hell. |
| 00:40:44 |
I don't know why he swore like that, |
| 00:40:49 |
It made me feel like I wasn't being pathetic |
| 00:40:56 |
I wouldn't make the mistake of asking |
| 00:40:59 |
Marcus was clearly screwed up about it... |
| 00:41:00 |
...and unfortunately I couldn't think |
| 00:41:04 |
Next time he could talk to Suzie, |
| 00:41:07 |
...or anybody capable |
| 00:41:10 |
Shit! It can't be. |
| 00:41:15 |
November-the-sodding-19. |
| 00:41:17 |
Six weeks before Christmas |
| 00:41:22 |
Dad? |
| 00:41:31 |
What was your dad like? |
| 00:41:33 |
A bit sad, really. |
| 00:41:35 |
You know, he wrote one crap song |
| 00:41:39 |
...and then spent the rest of his life |
| 00:41:43 |
Do you ever want to write songs like him? |
| 00:41:44 |
Is that what the guitar's for? |
| 00:41:48 |
No. |
| 00:41:50 |
So, that's just there to look cool. |
| 00:41:53 |
Yeah. |
| 00:41:58 |
I like Santa's Super Sleigh. |
| 00:42:16 |
Madonna! Come here! |
| 00:42:20 |
He's getting away, look! |
| 00:42:22 |
On Pet Rescue today, |
| 00:42:25 |
...on their toes in Somerset. |
| 00:42:52 |
Hey! |
| 00:42:54 |
What are you doing? |
| 00:42:56 |
Who am I? |
| 00:42:57 |
Bugger off, that's who I am! Go on, piss off! |
| 00:43:03 |
Who were they, then? |
| 00:43:05 |
Who? |
| 00:43:06 |
What do you mean, "Who?" |
| 00:43:07 |
The ones |
| 00:43:10 |
Oh, them. |
| 00:43:11 |
They're just a couple of older kids. |
| 00:43:15 |
Does this happen often? |
| 00:43:17 |
They never chucked sweets before, |
| 00:43:20 |
I'm not talking about the sweets. |
| 00:43:23 |
Yeah, they give me a hard time. |
| 00:43:25 |
You know, about my hair, |
| 00:43:29 |
And what? And singing? |
| 00:43:31 |
Sometimes I sing out loud without noticing. |
| 00:43:35 |
That's not a brilliant idea, is it? |
| 00:43:36 |
I said I did it without noticing, didn't I? |
| 00:43:41 |
I'm not going to do it on purpose, am I? |
| 00:43:44 |
My advice is to keep out of people's way. |
| 00:43:49 |
How can I be invisible? |
| 00:43:50 |
One machine in your kitchen |
| 00:43:52 |
I don't think so. |
| 00:43:56 |
I just try not to think of it, that's all. |
| 00:44:00 |
It happens, and I wish it didn't, |
| 00:44:05 |
There's nothing I can do about it. |
| 00:44:11 |
No. |
| 00:44:14 |
There is something we can do about it, Marcus. |
| 00:44:18 |
You're coming with me. |
| 00:44:19 |
I was worried he was going to take me |
| 00:44:24 |
But instead he took me shopping. |
| 00:44:26 |
I don't get it. |
| 00:44:27 |
We're starting with your feet. |
| 00:44:29 |
I can't make you invisible, |
| 00:44:34 |
I don't know how to tie them. |
| 00:44:37 |
It's called Velcro. |
| 00:44:38 |
It's a revolutionary new technology. |
| 00:44:43 |
For Christ's sake. It's not hard. |
| 00:44:48 |
All right, wait a minute, it is a bit hard. |
| 00:44:50 |
- Everything all right? |
| 00:44:55 |
Pretty trendy, your old man, isn't he? |
| 00:45:01 |
There. You think you look cool, don't you? |
| 00:45:03 |
Don't know. |
| 00:45:04 |
- Do you think I look cool? |
| 00:45:09 |
- I think you look cool. |
| 00:45:14 |
That's it, you got the walk. That's really cool. |
| 00:45:19 |
Brilliant. High five. Yeah. |
| 00:45:22 |
I was suddenly hit by an extraordinary |
| 00:45:25 |
So this is what people meant by a natural high. |
| 00:45:28 |
And it only cost60. |
| 00:45:30 |
I had made an unhappy boy temporarily happy. |
| 00:45:33 |
And there wasn't anything in it for me at all. |
| 00:45:35 |
I didn't even want to shag his mum. |
| 00:45:48 |
Marcus! What happened to your shoes? |
| 00:45:51 |
They stole them. |
| 00:46:02 |
Why would anyone want to steal your shoes? |
| 00:46:04 |
I could see I had to tell the truth. |
| 00:46:07 |
The problem was, |
| 00:46:10 |
They were nice ones. |
| 00:46:11 |
They were just ordinary brown lace-ups. |
| 00:46:13 |
No, they weren't. They were cool new trainers. |
| 00:46:17 |
Where did you get cool new trainers? |
| 00:46:19 |
She had loads more questions. |
| 00:46:21 |
Will bought them for me. |
| 00:46:24 |
Will? |
| 00:46:26 |
- The guy who took us to lunch? |
| 00:46:29 |
He's sort of become my friend. |
| 00:46:32 |
He's sort of become your friend? |
| 00:46:33 |
She kept repeating |
| 00:46:36 |
Except she shouted it. |
| 00:46:38 |
I go round to his place after school. |
| 00:46:40 |
You go round to his place after school! |
| 00:46:42 |
- You see, he doesn't really have a kid. |
| 00:46:46 |
Can I play computer games now? |
| 00:46:48 |
Where does he live? |
| 00:46:50 |
He's not there at the moment. |
| 00:46:54 |
Christine had asked me to dinner |
| 00:46:57 |
You will end up childless and alone. |
| 00:47:01 |
Both fingers crossed, yeah. |
| 00:47:04 |
You must have a lot of courage. |
| 00:47:06 |
Why is that, Christine? |
| 00:47:09 |
Most people need something in their lives |
| 00:47:12 |
...and you have absolutely nothing. |
| 00:47:16 |
Doesn't that scare you? |
| 00:47:18 |
Do you know what you want? |
| 00:47:21 |
Yes, I do. I'll have the steak- |
| 00:47:23 |
What the hell are these little |
| 00:47:27 |
Hi. Sorry? What did you say? |
| 00:47:29 |
I was just wondering why a single, |
| 00:47:33 |
...with a 12-year-old boy every day? |
| 00:47:35 |
You didn't tell your mum |
| 00:47:38 |
- I think I forgot. |
| 00:47:41 |
What are you doing with my son? |
| 00:47:43 |
Wait a minute. What are you suggesting here? |
| 00:47:45 |
- I'm not suggesting anything. |
| 00:47:48 |
You were suggesting that |
| 00:47:51 |
I'm simply asking you |
| 00:47:56 |
- My God! |
| 00:47:59 |
What do you have to say for yourself? |
| 00:48:02 |
Well? |
| 00:48:04 |
Don't "well" me! |
| 00:48:05 |
Don't "well" me about this! |
| 00:48:07 |
He comes over uninvited every night! |
| 00:48:10 |
He's having the shit bullied out of him at school! |
| 00:48:14 |
You send him out like a lamb to the slaughter! |
| 00:48:16 |
He's been taken to pieces every day of the week, |
| 00:48:19 |
I think you're being a bit melodramatic. |
| 00:48:22 |
Strange. Will had it right, Mum didn't. |
| 00:48:26 |
You haven't had much contact with kids. |
| 00:48:28 |
I used to be a bloody kid! |
| 00:48:30 |
I know when kids can't settle down |
| 00:48:34 |
Look at him, for Christ's sake! |
| 00:48:37 |
- This coming from a woman who tried to- |
| 00:48:42 |
- What's the matter with you? |
| 00:48:45 |
I just felt like a shout. |
| 00:48:46 |
Jesus, what a family. |
| 00:48:48 |
Will, you're disturbing the other customers. |
| 00:48:51 |
It's fine. I'm sorry. I'm done. |
| 00:48:53 |
- Okay, so, you're not... |
| 00:48:56 |
No, I'm not! No, I'm not. |
| 00:48:59 |
Listen, don't worry about it. |
| 00:49:00 |
I won't open the door to Marcus again, okay? |
| 00:49:03 |
I'll be glad to be rid of the pair of you, frankly. |
| 00:49:05 |
Go on. Bugger off. |
| 00:49:09 |
Sorry. |
| 00:49:19 |
So that's it, is it? |
| 00:49:21 |
You're just out of his life, like that. |
| 00:49:23 |
Excuse me? |
| 00:49:24 |
Let's say you're right and I'm wrong. |
| 00:49:26 |
Let's say there's this whole world... |
| 00:49:28 |
...that I don't understand, |
| 00:49:32 |
What are you going to do about it? |
| 00:49:34 |
I'm not going to do anything. |
| 00:49:37 |
- You're a selfish bastard. |
| 00:49:40 |
- He always puts himself first. |
| 00:49:43 |
It's just me. |
| 00:49:44 |
I'm not putting myself first. |
| 00:49:47 |
Yes, there is! |
| 00:49:48 |
There's Marcus. You're involved now. |
| 00:49:51 |
He keeps coming around your bloody house. |
| 00:49:53 |
You've come into his life for a reason. |
| 00:49:55 |
You can't just shut him out. |
| 00:49:57 |
You can't shut life out. "No man is an island. " |
| 00:50:00 |
- She's right, you know. |
| 00:50:02 |
No, she's not! She's wrong! |
| 00:50:03 |
Some men are islands. I'm a bloody island! |
| 00:50:05 |
I'm bloody Ibiza! |
| 00:50:08 |
What are you talking about? |
| 00:50:11 |
Do you want to come over for Christmas? |
| 00:50:16 |
No, Marcus, I do not want |
| 00:50:19 |
I do not want to spend Christmas |
| 00:50:25 |
I'd always thought |
| 00:50:27 |
...was sort of a statement about |
| 00:50:31 |
I was going to spend this Christmas |
| 00:50:34 |
Watching videos and getting drunk and stoned. |
| 00:50:49 |
Before you came, |
| 00:50:53 |
It is bad to be alone. |
| 00:50:55 |
Alone, bad. |
| 00:50:59 |
Friend, good. |
| 00:51:01 |
Friend, goodl |
| 00:51:06 |
Now come here. |
| 00:51:08 |
The good news was it wasn't |
| 00:51:11 |
The bad news was, well... |
| 00:51:14 |
So, you're Marcus' dad. |
| 00:51:18 |
Yeah, I guess so. |
| 00:51:27 |
And Lindsey's mum. |
| 00:51:31 |
Hi there. |
| 00:51:41 |
- Thanks, Dad. |
| 00:51:45 |
I had to hand it to the kid. |
| 00:51:46 |
He could be enthusiastic |
| 00:51:50 |
Wow, a tambourine! Thanks, Mum. |
| 00:51:53 |
Isn't that cool, Will? |
| 00:51:54 |
Yeah, that'll come in handy. |
| 00:51:57 |
I saw it and I thought, "This'll be perfect. " |
| 00:51:59 |
Maybe you can perform at that school concert. |
| 00:52:04 |
Maybe, Mum. |
| 00:52:08 |
When you sing, |
| 00:52:13 |
Thanks, Mum. |
| 00:52:19 |
This one's from me. |
| 00:52:29 |
Brilliant! What is it? |
| 00:52:32 |
It's a CD, Marcus. |
| 00:52:34 |
By Mystikal. They're cool. You'll like them. |
| 00:52:36 |
And what kind of music is Mystikal? |
| 00:52:39 |
It's sort of world music. |
| 00:52:42 |
"Shake Ya Ass. " |
| 00:52:44 |
Slash rap type thing. |
| 00:52:47 |
Shake Ya Ass? |
| 00:52:48 |
Is he Moroccan? |
| 00:52:50 |
I'm afraid we haven't got a CD player. |
| 00:52:52 |
It's great anyway. |
| 00:52:53 |
I know you haven't got a CD player, |
| 00:52:58 |
What a lucky boy. |
| 00:53:01 |
Look, Mum. |
| 00:53:02 |
- Open yours, Will. |
| 00:53:10 |
- Marcus, is this a joke? |
| 00:53:14 |
It's not bad. |
| 00:53:16 |
Hi. Sorry, I'm dead late! |
| 00:53:19 |
- Have I missed anything? |
| 00:53:21 |
- Merry Christmas. |
| 00:53:24 |
Hey! |
| 00:53:27 |
Long time no see. |
| 00:53:30 |
Where's Megan? |
| 00:53:31 |
At her dad's. Where's Ned? |
| 00:53:42 |
Yeah. |
| 00:53:43 |
No. I should probably go, shouldn't I? |
| 00:53:47 |
You could go pose as Santa, |
| 00:53:51 |
Are you a professional Santa? |
| 00:53:52 |
How lovely! |
| 00:53:54 |
Right. That's it. I'm off. |
| 00:53:56 |
Thank you very much. It was great. |
| 00:53:58 |
Suzie has every right to express her anger. |
| 00:54:01 |
Yes, and she's expressed it. |
| 00:54:02 |
Now I have a right to bugger off. |
| 00:54:05 |
Thanks a lot. 'Bye. |
| 00:54:07 |
Wait! |
| 00:54:08 |
He's my friend. I invited him. |
| 00:54:10 |
I should be able to tell him when to go home. |
| 00:54:12 |
I haven't told Will to go, Marcus. |
| 00:54:14 |
Suzie's angry and has every right to be, |
| 00:54:18 |
She's right, Marcus. |
| 00:54:19 |
Just leave it, okay? |
| 00:54:21 |
All he did was make up a kid for a couple weeks. |
| 00:54:24 |
God, that's nothing. So what? Who cares? |
| 00:54:26 |
Kids at school do worse than that every day! |
| 00:54:28 |
The point is, Marcus, |
| 00:54:31 |
He should've grown out |
| 00:54:33 |
- That's for sure. |
| 00:54:36 |
He's been better behaved since then. |
| 00:54:37 |
He bought me trainers, he lets me go round |
| 00:54:43 |
What? |
| 00:54:45 |
If there's something you really need |
| 00:54:49 |
No, we can't. It's not a discussion, |
| 00:54:52 |
- Why not just tell me what to do? |
| 00:54:55 |
I'm thinking for myself! And I want Will to stay! |
| 00:54:58 |
He's not the only one |
| 00:55:00 |
Remember how we met? Remember why? |
| 00:55:02 |
Because you threw a loaf of bread |
| 00:55:11 |
Excuse me? What's this about a duck? |
| 00:55:13 |
Are we having duck? Delicious! |
| 00:55:18 |
Of course we were not having duck. |
| 00:55:20 |
Instead we had nut loaf with parsnip gravy. |
| 00:55:25 |
As I sat there, I had a strange feeling. |
| 00:55:28 |
I was enjoying myself. |
| 00:55:31 |
I'd never really enjoyed Christmas before. |
| 00:55:33 |
My mother used to make me sing |
| 00:55:35 |
...in front of my inebriated uncles and aunts... |
| 00:55:38 |
...just to get at my dad, I think. |
| 00:55:41 |
But Christmas at Marcus', |
| 00:55:44 |
...a warm, fuzzy feeling. |
| 00:55:46 |
I held that feeling responsible |
| 00:55:53 |
First of all, Marcus got a crush on a girl. |
| 00:55:56 |
Hello. |
| 00:56:00 |
And then, even stranger, so did I. |
| 00:56:05 |
It was all Marcus' fault, really... |
| 00:56:06 |
...because once you open your door |
| 00:56:11 |
On New Year's Eve, I met Rachel. |
| 00:56:13 |
She was interesting, smart and attractive. |
| 00:56:16 |
And for about five minutes, |
| 00:56:20 |
...things like political events. |
| 00:56:22 |
Okay. |
| 00:56:23 |
You in television? |
| 00:56:24 |
Am I in television? No. |
| 00:56:28 |
- Everyone else is in television. |
| 00:56:30 |
I watch television. |
| 00:56:31 |
Right, right. |
| 00:56:34 |
- In it, yeah. |
| 00:56:36 |
It was torture. |
| 00:56:37 |
For five minutes I realized what life would be like |
| 00:56:42 |
If I had anything to say for myself, |
| 00:56:45 |
But I didn't do anything. |
| 00:56:47 |
And in about 30 seconds she'd know |
| 00:56:52 |
So what do you do? |
| 00:56:56 |
I'm sort of taking a bit of time off at the moment. |
| 00:57:00 |
- Sounds good, yeah. |
| 00:57:03 |
Time off from what? |
| 00:57:05 |
To be absolutely honest, |
| 00:57:11 |
The interesting thing about me is |
| 00:57:19 |
- You don't do anything? |
| 00:57:24 |
- Nothing. |
| 00:57:27 |
Wow. |
| 00:57:29 |
That's... |
| 00:57:32 |
Now, Rachel, darling. |
| 00:57:35 |
East Coast or West Coast rap? |
| 00:57:38 |
I have absolutely no... |
| 00:57:39 |
There. She was gone. |
| 00:57:44 |
All rap music sounds exactly the same to me. |
| 00:57:47 |
Or was there? |
| 00:57:47 |
I tell you what. I know a 12-year-old |
| 00:57:51 |
- Really? |
| 00:57:53 |
- So do I, come to that. |
| 00:57:56 |
- Yeah. What's yours called? |
| 00:58:00 |
He's called Marcus. |
| 00:58:04 |
Mine's Ali. Alistair. |
| 00:58:07 |
And there it was. |
| 00:58:09 |
It wasn't a lie. |
| 00:58:12 |
Well, 50 percent, at the very least. |
| 00:58:17 |
I was in fantasyland again. |
| 00:58:21 |
SPAT was for fun. This was serious. |
| 00:58:34 |
We arranged to get our lads together. |
| 00:58:36 |
Which means |
| 00:58:40 |
Single parents, alone together. |
| 00:58:43 |
Happy New Year! |
| 00:58:47 |
I was in deep trouble. |
| 00:58:50 |
And there was only one person |
| 00:59:02 |
"Shake ya ass, but watch ya self |
| 00:59:07 |
"Shake ya ass, watch ya self |
| 00:59:11 |
- "Show me what you workin' with" |
| 00:59:16 |
You heard me, squitty little shitty |
| 00:59:19 |
Sorry. |
| 00:59:20 |
I was singing along to this song by Mystikal. |
| 00:59:23 |
It's a rap. |
| 00:59:24 |
You like rap? |
| 00:59:26 |
A little. |
| 00:59:27 |
It's by black people, mostly. |
| 00:59:30 |
But sometimes they just want to have sex. |
| 00:59:33 |
You taking a piss? |
| 00:59:34 |
'Cause if you are, you'll get a slap. |
| 00:59:36 |
I'm not taking a piss. |
| 00:59:38 |
I don't even know how to take a piss. |
| 00:59:41 |
- What's your name? |
| 00:59:45 |
I'm Ellie. |
| 00:59:47 |
Hi, Ellie. Nice to meet you. |
| 00:59:48 |
Not so fast. I'm not ready for physical contact. |
| 00:59:53 |
And where will that get us? |
| 00:59:55 |
And stop telling strangers to shake their ass. |
| 00:59:59 |
Okay, Ellie. See you! |
| 01:00:11 |
Hello, mate. |
| 01:00:14 |
Listen, I need your help. |
| 01:00:18 |
Why did you tell this lady I was your son? |
| 01:00:21 |
No, I didn't tell her. |
| 01:00:22 |
I told you, |
| 01:00:25 |
So just tell her. |
| 01:00:26 |
- No. Can't do that. |
| 01:00:28 |
We're really going around in circles here. |
| 01:00:33 |
You're my son. |
| 01:00:34 |
I'll tell her, if you like. I don't mind. |
| 01:00:36 |
That's very kind of you, Marcus, but no. |
| 01:00:38 |
- Why not? |
| 01:00:41 |
She's got a rare disease |
| 01:00:45 |
...then hears the truth, her brain will boil |
| 01:00:49 |
That's a load of shit. |
| 01:00:52 |
I'm really interested in this woman. |
| 01:00:56 |
What do you mean, interested? |
| 01:00:58 |
What's so interesting about her? |
| 01:01:00 |
Okay, Marcus, here. |
| 01:01:02 |
Here's my last scrap of dignity. Enjoy it. |
| 01:01:05 |
I want to go out with her. Okay? |
| 01:01:08 |
I'd like her to be my girlfriend. There, I said it. |
| 01:01:10 |
Brilliant! Why didn't you just say that? |
| 01:01:13 |
I don't know. |
| 01:01:15 |
I was embarrassed or something, |
| 01:01:18 |
I just met her, her name's Rachel. She's sort of- |
| 01:01:21 |
There's this girl at school. Ellie. |
| 01:01:23 |
I kind of want her to be my girlfriend. |
| 01:01:24 |
I'm not exactly sure. |
| 01:01:26 |
I've been meaning to ask you. |
| 01:01:28 |
What's the difference between |
| 01:01:32 |
Well, I don't know. |
| 01:01:36 |
Do you want to touch her? |
| 01:01:38 |
Is that so important? |
| 01:01:39 |
Yeah, you've heard about sex, right? |
| 01:01:41 |
It is kind of a big deal. |
| 01:01:43 |
I know. I'm not stupid. |
| 01:01:45 |
I just can't believe there's nothing more to it. |
| 01:01:48 |
I mean, like, I want to be with her more. |
| 01:01:52 |
And I want to tell her things |
| 01:01:55 |
And I don't want her to have another boyfriend. |
| 01:01:57 |
If I could have all those things... |
| 01:01:59 |
...I wouldn't really mind if I touched her or not. |
| 01:02:03 |
Well, you'll learn, Marcus. |
| 01:02:05 |
You won't feel like that forever. |
| 01:02:12 |
Okay, how do I look? |
| 01:02:13 |
Good. How do I look? |
| 01:02:17 |
Just be as normal as you can, okay? |
| 01:02:21 |
Good advice for Marcus. |
| 01:02:23 |
I wish I could have followed it. |
| 01:02:24 |
I'm sorry it's such a mess. |
| 01:02:26 |
That's where I work. |
| 01:02:30 |
My mouth was dry |
| 01:02:32 |
I didn't know what the hell was happening to me. |
| 01:02:35 |
...manage to tidy up. Ali? |
| 01:02:38 |
All I could do was stand there, |
| 01:02:41 |
- Should we just go upstairs? |
| 01:02:46 |
Ali. |
| 01:02:47 |
Marcus. |
| 01:02:49 |
Marcus. |
| 01:02:51 |
Ali. |
| 01:02:53 |
You're in my year at school. |
| 01:02:56 |
Really? Yeah, I think I've seen you around. |
| 01:02:59 |
Great! |
| 01:03:00 |
Then you guys'll have a lot to talk about. |
| 01:03:02 |
Will, this is Ali. |
| 01:03:04 |
Ali, this is Will. |
| 01:03:06 |
- All right. |
| 01:03:10 |
Do you guys want to hang up here for a while? |
| 01:03:14 |
- Yeah, sounds good, right? |
| 01:03:16 |
For a moment, I loved him. |
| 01:03:18 |
Really loved him. |
| 01:03:19 |
You can show him |
| 01:03:22 |
Good. Okay, catch you later. |
| 01:03:24 |
Let's leave them to it. |
| 01:03:34 |
If your dad goes out with my mum, |
| 01:03:37 |
Really dead. |
| 01:03:39 |
- Don't worry. He's all right. |
| 01:03:42 |
I don't want him going out with my mum! |
| 01:03:44 |
I don't want to see him |
| 01:03:48 |
I'm not really sure it's up to me. |
| 01:03:50 |
Well, it better be! Or you're going to die. |
| 01:03:53 |
I was getting the feeling |
| 01:03:57 |
Can I have a go on your computer? |
| 01:04:00 |
Are you listening to me? |
| 01:04:02 |
Yeah, it's just that I can't really |
| 01:04:05 |
I mean, Will, that's my dad... |
| 01:04:09 |
...he likes your mum, |
| 01:04:12 |
She's not keen on him! |
| 01:04:14 |
She's only keen on me! |
| 01:04:18 |
One amazing thing about Rachel... |
| 01:04:19 |
...was that I wanted to kiss her every time |
| 01:04:23 |
Which was all the time. |
| 01:04:25 |
It was sexy. It was weird. |
| 01:04:29 |
I use Bristol boards, India ink and... |
| 01:04:34 |
Am I boring you? |
| 01:04:35 |
No, no. No. |
| 01:04:38 |
- What? |
| 01:04:40 |
It's just you looked like Marcus just then. |
| 01:04:44 |
Did I? |
| 01:04:45 |
I think it's sweet how much |
| 01:04:48 |
...and the way he dresses like you, as well. |
| 01:04:52 |
I don't think I dress like Marcus, really. |
| 01:04:59 |
Marcus? |
| 01:05:04 |
Wait! Hang on. Hang on. |
| 01:05:07 |
- He's off his head. |
| 01:05:09 |
He said he'd cut me up into little pieces |
| 01:05:13 |
- He did? |
| 01:05:16 |
But I'm sure he's capable of it. |
| 01:05:18 |
It'll be different. You'll like it, I promise. |
| 01:05:20 |
Marcus, Ali has something to say to you. |
| 01:05:26 |
Doesn't he? |
| 01:05:28 |
Sorry, Marcus. |
| 01:05:31 |
I didn't mean to say those things. |
| 01:05:34 |
It's okay, Ali. |
| 01:05:37 |
Ali finds all this very difficult. |
| 01:05:40 |
Yeah, so does Marcus. |
| 01:05:43 |
Don't you, mate? |
| 01:05:46 |
You know, I mean, divorced parents... |
| 01:05:48 |
...and not knowing |
| 01:05:53 |
Yes. Absolutely. Absolutely the way I feel. |
| 01:05:56 |
Ali didn't get along |
| 01:05:59 |
- He was a liar! |
| 01:06:02 |
He wasn't 100 percent good news. |
| 01:06:05 |
- I'm not saying that you and I are. |
| 01:06:08 |
He fancies you. He told me. |
| 01:06:14 |
- Thanks a lot, mate. |
| 01:06:16 |
Cheers, mate. |
| 01:06:21 |
Don't look so worried, sweetheart. |
| 01:06:25 |
Ellie! |
| 01:06:26 |
- Marcus? What, are you stalking me? |
| 01:06:29 |
Too bad. Made me feel like a celebrity. |
| 01:06:31 |
Yeah, but I didn't know that then, did I, sexy? |
| 01:06:36 |
All I'm saying is, you know, watch out. |
| 01:06:38 |
It just looks a bit more like owner and pet |
| 01:06:42 |
At least I'm honest. |
| 01:06:44 |
What does that mean? |
| 01:06:45 |
It's just that you and Rachel... |
| 01:06:48 |
What? What does that mean? |
| 01:06:51 |
I don't know, |
| 01:06:54 |
I mean, like, you want to be with her |
| 01:06:58 |
And you don't. |
| 01:06:59 |
If you're going to be with someone... |
| 01:07:01 |
...shouldn't you tell them things like that? |
| 01:07:05 |
No. |
| 01:07:06 |
I mean, you know, like the truth. |
| 01:07:10 |
What's wrong with you? |
| 01:07:12 |
But later that night, |
| 01:07:16 |
...I remembered the deal |
| 01:07:20 |
Yes, I wanted to touch Rachel. |
| 01:07:23 |
But at this moment, if I had the choice... |
| 01:07:26 |
...I'd settle for the less and the more |
| 01:07:30 |
Jesus, was I turning into Marcus? |
| 01:07:32 |
Would he be buying me shoes soon? |
| 01:07:35 |
I took his advice and told Rachel the truth. |
| 01:07:40 |
Or very nearly the truth. |
| 01:07:42 |
That I wasn't Marcus' natural father. |
| 01:07:46 |
And that is not natural seaweed. |
| 01:07:47 |
The problem was, once I told the truth, |
| 01:07:51 |
I don't get it. If you're not his natural father... |
| 01:07:54 |
...and you don't live with him, |
| 01:07:58 |
Yeah, I see. |
| 01:08:00 |
It must look very confusing from the outside. |
| 01:08:03 |
Tell me how it is on the inside. |
| 01:08:06 |
It's just one of those long, boring stories. |
| 01:08:08 |
Look, do you want to move on to wine? |
| 01:08:11 |
You want some Chinese rice wine, miss? |
| 01:08:13 |
You would like to try, |
| 01:08:19 |
Yeah? |
| 01:08:20 |
No. |
| 01:08:23 |
Tell me about your relationship with Ali. |
| 01:08:26 |
- Is that as complicated as mine and Marcus'? |
| 01:08:29 |
I slept with his father, |
| 01:08:33 |
Pretty straight forward. |
| 01:08:35 |
Yeah. I envy you that. |
| 01:08:37 |
I'm really sorry to harp on about this |
| 01:08:42 |
You are Marcus' stepfather, |
| 01:08:48 |
No, you see, wait. |
| 01:09:02 |
I never said he was my son. |
| 01:09:05 |
Did I? |
| 01:09:06 |
The words "I have a son called Marcus," |
| 01:09:09 |
It's what you chose to believe. |
| 01:09:11 |
Yeah. Right. |
| 01:09:13 |
It's me that's the fantasist. |
| 01:09:15 |
I wanted to believe that you had a son, |
| 01:09:19 |
Obviously I played a part, I can see that. |
| 01:09:21 |
No! Not at all. |
| 01:09:25 |
"God, if only he had a son. |
| 01:09:28 |
Then you turned up at my house |
| 01:09:31 |
Now I made this crazy link |
| 01:09:36 |
You shouldn't beat yourself up about it. |
| 01:09:40 |
It could have happened to anyone. |
| 01:09:45 |
The first time I met you |
| 01:09:53 |
But then you changed my mind. |
| 01:09:56 |
Maybe I was right. |
| 01:09:58 |
- Rachel, listen. |
| 01:10:11 |
I'm sorry, you're right. |
| 01:10:16 |
I am a blank. |
| 01:10:22 |
I'm really nothing. |
| 01:10:30 |
I don't know what the hell I was thinking of, |
| 01:10:54 |
'Bye, Ellie. |
| 01:10:55 |
Marcus! My man! |
| 01:10:58 |
Bye, Marcus! |
| 01:10:59 |
See you, Marcus! |
| 01:11:19 |
Mum? |
| 01:11:44 |
So, if z = 17, does x > 2? |
| 01:11:49 |
Marcus? |
| 01:11:52 |
I didn't know what the answer was. |
| 01:11:54 |
I didn't know what "x" equaled. |
| 01:11:56 |
And I didn't know how to help my mum. |
| 01:12:08 |
And then I realized. |
| 01:12:10 |
There was something she said |
| 01:12:13 |
- I'm thinking of singing at the school concert. |
| 01:12:18 |
I don't think that would be |
| 01:12:21 |
Will you accompany me? |
| 01:12:23 |
All I've got is a tambourine. |
| 01:12:25 |
No, I'm sorry. It's suicide. |
| 01:12:30 |
I mean, they'll crucify you. |
| 01:12:56 |
Mum's at it again. |
| 01:13:01 |
- At what? Sorry. |
| 01:13:05 |
The crying. |
| 01:13:06 |
She sits in the house all day, crying. |
| 01:13:09 |
She does it in the mornings, too. |
| 01:13:14 |
It's as bad now as it was |
| 01:13:24 |
Marcus, I'm sorry, mate... |
| 01:13:29 |
...I'm a bit busy at the moment. |
| 01:13:31 |
You're busy? Doing what? |
| 01:13:36 |
- Didn't you hear me? |
| 01:13:38 |
- What do you want me to do about it? |
| 01:13:41 |
- You could talk to her. |
| 01:13:44 |
- I don't know! |
| 01:13:46 |
Who am I to her? |
| 01:13:49 |
- I'm nobody. |
| 01:13:51 |
- You're- |
| 01:13:54 |
Who do you think you are? |
| 01:13:55 |
You come here uninvited, |
| 01:13:59 |
What do you want from me? |
| 01:14:02 |
I'm not your family, mate. I'm not. |
| 01:14:05 |
I'm not your big brother. |
| 01:14:06 |
We've established pretty firmly |
| 01:14:09 |
But... |
| 01:14:10 |
I'll tell you what I am. |
| 01:14:12 |
I'm the guy who's really good at |
| 01:14:16 |
That's it. I can't help you with real things. |
| 01:14:19 |
I can't help you with anything |
| 01:14:24 |
You could try. |
| 01:14:35 |
You're right. |
| 01:14:37 |
You can't help me. |
| 01:14:39 |
How could you? |
| 01:14:40 |
You're a stupid person who watches TV all day... |
| 01:14:43 |
...and buys things. |
| 01:14:44 |
You don't give a shit about anybody, |
| 01:15:17 |
Mum said my singing brought |
| 01:15:21 |
...into her life. |
| 01:15:22 |
So I'd do it, even if it meant mine was over. |
| 01:15:54 |
Look, Mum. |
| 01:16:36 |
My life is made up of units of time. |
| 01:16:43 |
Eating lunch: Three units. |
| 01:16:47 |
Exercising: Two units. |
| 01:16:53 |
All in all, I had a very full life. |
| 01:17:05 |
It's just that it didn't mean anything. |
| 01:17:21 |
"Look who's coming |
| 01:17:34 |
The fact was there was only one thing |
| 01:17:50 |
Marcus. He was the only thing |
| 01:17:54 |
And Fiona was the only thing |
| 01:17:57 |
And she was about to fall off the edge. |
| 01:18:17 |
Single parents alone together! |
| 01:18:21 |
Single parents alone together! |
| 01:18:28 |
- Fiona! |
| 01:18:31 |
How's Ned? |
| 01:18:33 |
Who? He's a load of crap. He doesn't exist. |
| 01:18:38 |
Yeah, I made him up. |
| 01:18:40 |
- You made him up? |
| 01:18:42 |
- To meet women. |
| 01:18:45 |
- Fiona, I've got to talk to you. |
| 01:18:47 |
No, you know, properly talk to you, privately. |
| 01:18:50 |
No, this is a circle of truth. |
| 01:18:53 |
Whatever you have to say, |
| 01:18:57 |
Okay. Please don't try |
| 01:19:04 |
I can't believe you just said that. |
| 01:19:07 |
Yeah, well, that's the thing, isn't it? It's not. |
| 01:19:10 |
Marcus is worried about you. |
| 01:19:11 |
I'm worried because he's worried about you. |
| 01:19:14 |
Will, I don't have plans to commit suicide. |
| 01:19:16 |
You don't? |
| 01:19:17 |
Not at the moment, no. |
| 01:19:20 |
Great. Great! |
| 01:19:22 |
Good. |
| 01:19:24 |
You know I'm not attracted to you, right? |
| 01:19:29 |
What are you on about? |
| 01:19:33 |
Right. Wrong word completely. |
| 01:19:35 |
But that's something that |
| 01:19:40 |
The crying in the morning thing, the depression. |
| 01:19:42 |
Let's get that fixed. |
| 01:19:45 |
That's what men think, isn't it? |
| 01:19:48 |
That unless you've got the answer, |
| 01:19:51 |
"I know a bloke in the Essex Road who |
| 01:19:55 |
No. |
| 01:19:57 |
Well, yeah, okay. I would. |
| 01:19:59 |
I'd love to know the name of the bloke |
| 01:20:02 |
...because I've got a feeling I'd be useless. |
| 01:20:05 |
Will, you're not useless. |
| 01:20:08 |
You're here. And that matters. |
| 01:20:12 |
Right. |
| 01:20:13 |
- Now, can we... Do you mind? |
| 01:20:16 |
- Marcus is singing at the school concert. |
| 01:20:19 |
- Yeah, singing. |
| 01:20:21 |
It's a pop concert. He's so excited. |
| 01:20:22 |
- I want to get there on time. |
| 01:20:26 |
"Killing me softly with his song |
| 01:20:30 |
"Telling my whole life" |
| 01:20:35 |
- What time does this thing start? |
| 01:20:38 |
You know the dream where you're at school |
| 01:20:43 |
- What's the connection? |
| 01:20:46 |
If he sings that song in front of those kids... |
| 01:20:49 |
...you can just write him off until university. |
| 01:20:51 |
If he reaches university, |
| 01:20:54 |
You cannot stop someone |
| 01:20:57 |
He's not expressing himself! |
| 01:21:02 |
Oh, God. |
| 01:21:04 |
What? Jesus Christ. |
| 01:21:08 |
You're right. Will, am I a bad mother? |
| 01:21:11 |
No, you're not a bad mother. |
| 01:21:16 |
No, I am. I am a bad mother. |
| 01:21:18 |
I've let things slide |
| 01:21:21 |
He's a special, very special boy. |
| 01:21:23 |
And he's got a special soul, and I've wounded it! |
| 01:21:26 |
Please, just shut up. You're wounding my soul. |
| 01:21:56 |
Okay, you park it. |
| 01:22:44 |
Hi. |
| 01:22:46 |
What are you doing here? |
| 01:22:48 |
That's Ali up there. |
| 01:22:55 |
He's talented. |
| 01:23:22 |
Now that was the Def Penalty Kru |
| 01:23:28 |
Our next big act is Marcus Brewer... |
| 01:23:31 |
...singing Roberta Flack's beloved |
| 01:23:37 |
He'll be accompanied by Simon Cosgrove |
| 01:23:43 |
Marcus, I can't do this. |
| 01:23:44 |
- That lot's going to shit all over us. |
| 01:23:47 |
I'm sorry. Here's your 5 back. |
| 01:23:53 |
Any moment now. |
| 01:24:08 |
Come on, Marcus, you wally! |
| 01:24:14 |
Wait! Wait! |
| 01:24:15 |
Excuse me. What is going on here? |
| 01:24:18 |
Nothing. Everything's under control. |
| 01:24:22 |
What are you doing here? |
| 01:24:23 |
I heard you were about to commit social suicide, |
| 01:24:28 |
- My accompanist left! |
| 01:24:29 |
- You don't have to do it. |
| 01:24:31 |
Yeah, you can. |
| 01:24:34 |
You can't work without him. |
| 01:24:36 |
My mum wants me to sing it. |
| 01:24:39 |
Look, mate, nothing you do |
| 01:24:44 |
Not in the long term. |
| 01:24:48 |
- Get over here right now! |
| 01:24:52 |
What I'm saying is, the important thing is |
| 01:24:55 |
I've tried just making myself happy. |
| 01:24:59 |
It doesn't work. |
| 01:25:02 |
But that's just it. |
| 01:25:03 |
If other people can make you happy |
| 01:25:07 |
What, you think those people out there |
| 01:25:11 |
Hang on. Wait. Marcus, don't. |
| 01:25:12 |
Marcus! Bollocks. |
| 01:25:31 |
Come on, Britney! |
| 01:25:33 |
Yeah, give us a song, then. |
| 01:25:42 |
This is for my mum. |
| 01:25:49 |
"I heard he sang a good song |
| 01:25:55 |
"I heard he had a style |
| 01:25:59 |
"And so I came to see him |
| 01:26:03 |
"to listen for a while |
| 01:26:09 |
"And there he was this young boy |

| 01:27:53 |
"With his song |
| 01:28:02 |
"He sang as if he knew me" |
| 01:28:04 |
Will. |
| 01:28:05 |
"In all my dark despair" |
| 01:28:08 |
We're finished. |
| 01:28:09 |
"And then he looked right through me |
| 01:28:14 |
Will, come on. |
| 01:28:20 |
Will, we're finished. |
| 01:28:30 |
So there I was, |
| 01:28:33 |
Or rather, being killed. |
| 01:28:37 |
I was singing with my eyes closed. |
| 01:28:40 |
Was I frightened? |
| 01:28:41 |
I was petrified. |
| 01:28:43 |
This was definitely not island living. |
| 01:28:45 |
"Killing me softly |
| 01:28:49 |
"With his song" |
| 01:29:02 |
Thank you, Finsbury. |
| 01:29:05 |
I'd like to introduce |
| 01:29:08 |
Marcus Brewer on vocals and tambourine. |
| 01:29:13 |
And that's about it. |
| 01:29:14 |
Let's get off quick. Get off. |
| 01:29:17 |
Marcus, thank you. For the song. |
| 01:29:21 |
You were terrific. |
| 01:29:23 |
- You think so? |
| 01:29:25 |
As a matter of fact, I think we should celebrate. |
| 01:29:28 |
Okay. |
| 01:29:29 |
How about McDonald's? |
| 01:29:33 |
- McDonald's? |
| 01:29:35 |
Thanks, Mum, but it's okay. |
| 01:29:37 |
No, really. I want to go to McDonald's. |
| 01:29:39 |
You know, I'm not really hungry. |
| 01:29:41 |
Come on. Are you telling me |
| 01:29:45 |
Mum! |
| 01:29:48 |
Okay, another time. |
| 01:29:52 |
Any time. |
| 01:29:56 |
I'll be around a while, you know. |
| 01:30:07 |
By the following Christmas |
| 01:30:12 |
Before you came- |
| 01:30:13 |
Every man is an island. |
| 01:30:18 |
But clearly, some men are part of island chains. |
| 01:30:24 |
Below the surface of the ocean |
| 01:30:27 |
So you're going to marry my mum, then? |
| 01:30:30 |
Don't know. |
| 01:30:31 |
Why? |
| 01:30:32 |
You think she's up for it? |
| 01:30:34 |
- I used to want him to marry my mum. |
| 01:30:37 |
Yeah. But that was when she was depressed |
| 01:30:40 |
Thanks, mate. Cheers. |
| 01:30:42 |
How do you use this blender-thing? |
| 01:30:45 |
I used to think two wasn't enough. |
| 01:30:48 |
Now there were loads of people. |
| 01:30:50 |
And that was great. Mostly. |
| 01:30:54 |
Are you two lazy bastards |
| 01:30:59 |
So how do you know Will? |
| 01:31:02 |
We volunteered together |
| 01:31:06 |
Yeah, that's right. |
| 01:31:09 |
I mean good? |
| 01:31:11 |
Yeah, and he called me up |
| 01:31:14 |
So, here I am. |
| 01:31:15 |
Really? |
| 01:31:24 |
So, listen, what's the deal |
| 01:31:27 |
Is she your girlfriend? |
| 01:31:30 |
Are you insane? |
| 01:31:34 |
Where did you get those trainers? |
| 01:31:36 |
- Why? What's wrong with them? |
| 01:31:39 |
What? |
| 01:31:41 |
By the way, |
| 01:31:44 |
- I mean, if you don't screw it up. |
| 01:31:49 |
I'd created a monster. |
| 01:31:52 |
Or maybe he created me. |
| 01:31:56 |
I don't know |
| 01:32:00 |
All I meant was |
| 01:32:03 |
You need more than that. You need backup. |
| 01:32:07 |
The way I saw it, |
| 01:32:12 |
It's like that thing he told me Jon Bon Jovi said: |
| 01:32:15 |
"No man is an island. " |
