Fun
Transcript
00:00Um, people, I have just been ambushed by Freddy, alright, because Jean and Harvey have got engaged.
00:06Yeah, I've heard.
00:07Yeah, if they want to try and hijack little Jimmy's party, right, can we make an official announcement?
00:12No, no, no, of course they don't mind, as long as you pay for the champagne and all the food. Cheek.
00:16Well, they don't have much to celebrate lately, have they?
00:18What, and we have?
00:20Yeah.
00:20Any chance you get all this done by six?
00:23Lobster?
00:23Yeah. Yeah, nothing but the best for my little grandson, and I'll tell you what, it costs a fortune, so please don't overcook it.
00:28Um, actually, get it ready by five, yeah?
00:30Uh, don't push it, I'm a two-times great-grandmother now, you know.
00:35Oh, I'm never going to get it done if you keep interrupting, am I?
00:38Having a party? Oh, don't tell me. My invitation's at the most.
00:42Oh, what the... Cindy, just get out, will ya?
00:45Well, that's not very friendly, is it?
00:46Especially seeing as I've got a get-out-of-chill, well, not completely free card.
00:53Hm. Things be due for love, eh?
00:56Right. Paperwork's ready to be signed. Put the kettle on, will ya, Kathy?
01:00Um, what is it then? Senora, Avani?
01:18Yeah, it's Camon. Indicative preterite. You can't be good at everything, though.
01:22Yeah, biology's more your thing.
01:27Okay. Um, yeah, what is it?
01:30Um, I don't know, man. Who cares? It's stupid language.
01:34Avani! I've got an exam!
01:36Oi, Avani. You avoided me.
01:39No. She don't want another inquisition.
01:42I already told you, Joel's dad was just asking me...
01:44It wasn't him that I needed to be worried about, though, was it?
01:50What are you doing, Kathy?
01:53Looking for rat poison?
01:54This is such a mess.
01:57Sure I love Kathy.
01:58Turn it off.
01:59Yeah.
02:00Oh.
02:00And I love you, too.
02:01And I was just getting to the good bit.
02:03You know, there's a part of me that would really like to put this out there.
02:09Saint Kathy.
02:11Nicking poor Jean's boyfriend.
02:14After everything that family's been through.
02:16Hmm?
02:17That would put quite a dent in your halo, wouldn't it, eh?
02:20Still, can't have everything, though, can I?
02:24My solicitor has drawn up the deeds of transfer for Ian to sign.
02:28I want both shops and this place, too.
02:31Yeah, well, you know what you'd shove that, don't you?
02:33But you seriously think that would ruin my son,
02:36see him out on the streets just to save my own skin?
02:39That might be the sort of mother you are, not me.
02:42So you'd rather go to prison, would you?
02:44Oh, how noble.
02:47I didn't think you'd sacrifice your own boyfriend quite so easy, though.
02:50Not after everything he's done for you.
02:52You're not the only one to lie to the police, Kathy.
02:55Harvey's covered up an attempted murder.
02:57True, he might not go to prison for as long as you,
03:00but prison, at your age,
03:02you two wouldn't last five minutes,
03:04let alone a couple of years.
03:05You leave Harvey out of this.
03:06Oh, no.
03:07He's chosen his side.
03:09You seriously expect me to have sympathy for him?
03:12After what you did to Martin?
03:14Yes.
03:14Yes, I do.
03:15He's held that family together.
03:18Well, maybe.
03:19You should have kept your knickers on, shouldn't you?
03:21If you cared so much about the Slaters.
03:24You are such a hypocrite, Kathy.
03:27You and Ian, you took everything from me.
03:31And all I did was have an affair.
03:33And now you are doing the exact same thing.
03:37Oh, yes, hardly.
03:38I mean, let's face it,
03:39I never fed drugs to the mother of my unborn grandchild.
03:42No.
03:43But you tried to bash my brains in, didn't you?
03:45You left me out there,
03:47lying in the street to die like some animal.
03:50Yeah, and I'm not proud of myself,
03:52but you've got to be reasonable.
03:54You can't have everything.
03:56Like you were with me.
03:57You and Ian tried to destroy me,
04:00and you took pleasure in it.
04:03Your faces when you told me I couldn't see little Jimmy.
04:06I took Lauren to the hospital,
04:08I looked after her,
04:09and still,
04:11still,
04:11you showed no pity.
04:13You are cruel,
04:15you and Ian,
04:16cruel and vindictive.
04:19Well, now it's my turn.
04:22You've got till six o'clock.
04:35I'm not angry if that's what you're worried about.
04:38Not with you, anyway.
04:40I just, um...
04:43I just wish you'd waited a bit longer.
04:46I don't really want to have this conversation with you.
04:48Makes two of us.
04:51Look, Avani,
04:53I don't exactly approve
04:54of your choice of boyfriend,
04:56but if the pair of you
04:58are going to be doing this...
04:59We're not.
05:01You split up.
05:05He finished with you.
05:07Slimy little git.
05:08He didn't finish with me
05:09because we was never together.
05:12He was nice.
05:13We wanted to do it,
05:14so we did it.
05:15It's not a big deal.
05:19Did he pressure you?
05:22If he forced you to...
05:23We were messing about, okay?
05:25And one thing led to another.
05:27It's not even that deep, okay?
05:29We had fun.
05:30Oh, Avani,
05:34you don't mean that,
05:34but...
05:36It's your first time.
05:39It's meant to be special.
05:42Or at least mean something.
05:44Why?
05:47I've got a revision session to get to, yeah?
05:49It's such wonderful news,
05:58and we are so happy for you,
05:59aren't we, George?
06:00Yeah, congratulations.
06:01Come on, then.
06:02Show us the ring.
06:03Oh, well, no.
06:04There's been such a whirlwind,
06:06and we're a bit skimmed at the minute, so...
06:08Well, the way Freddie was going on,
06:09I thought that you'd booked your church
06:11and picked your dress.
06:12Mm-hmm, yeah.
06:12And what are you going to wear, Jane?
06:15Well, you know what Freddie's like.
06:17It's been carried away.
06:17He really shouldn't be telling anyone.
06:19Too right.
06:20I told him to zip it
06:22until you were here
06:23with the official announcement.
06:27Don't worry about the head-wetting.
06:29Ian has brought so much fizz,
06:31you could drown half the square.
06:33And everyone will be here.
06:34Oh, I don't really think
06:35that we should be gate-crashing Ian's party.
06:38No, I think it's probably best we stay clear.
06:40Yeah.
06:41Excuse me, you will do no such thing,
06:43because after the last few months,
06:44I would happily celebrate
06:46the opening of an envelope.
06:47And there's going to be a bottle of bubbly for you.
06:51Well, if you insist.
06:54I'm not sure that Stacey will come,
06:56but, um...
06:57Well, as long as you two lovebirds are here.
06:59Oh, it's...
07:00This is work.

07:02Okay.
07:03Cheers.

16:16No, I don't think he did, mate.
16:18Louis reckons you said he could have a glass of champagne?
16:19Yeah, yeah, of course you can.
16:22We've got some special fizzing, so his mum can enjoy the toast as well, haven't we?
16:25Can Louis have a glass of Nosecco, please?
16:28Oh, I reckon we can do better than that. Come with me.
16:31Whoa.
16:33Bye, thanks.
16:35He's such a little angel.
16:37God, not at three o'clock this morning, wasn't it?
16:39Make a lot of noise for something so tiny, don't you, little man?
16:41Still didn't get you up, though.
16:43I don't remember Louis being this difficult.
16:45Now go upstairs and play with Ollie. His mum said we can have chips.
16:49Yeah, go on.
16:50What, you don't fancy...
16:51What even is this?
16:53Don't ask me.
16:55I'd have been happy for a few quiet drinks.
16:57Bone, though, he's just proud of us.
16:58Sweet.
17:00No, he just wants to sit two fingers up to your mum.
17:02And I wouldn't mind, she ain't even here to see it.
17:05What is he going to do for the christenin? Hire out St. Paul's?
17:09Oh, V, I mean, just putting it out there, right, mate?
17:11I will be a brilliant best man, because I've proven my chops, okay?
17:14I like the full package, you know what I'm saying?
17:17I'm a great organiser, and I'm a brilliant orator.
17:20Full of hot air, you mean?
17:22Oh, just give him a rest.
17:22Give him a chance. He ain't even got an engagement ring yet.
17:25No, dang it.
17:26Come on, what'd you fancy?
17:27Like laying a diamond or a dirty big sapphire?
17:30I'd be happy with something that just falls out of a cracker.
17:33Oh, V, enjoy that, mate.
17:34You have landed right on your feet here, mate.
17:36You've got a dream girl, right there.
17:37I'll tell you what, I've still got some Christmas stock left at the minute, Mark.
17:39Why don't we bum around here and have a little root around here and see what we can find?
17:42Pull a cracker, pull a cracker, and we might find it.
17:44You know what I mean?
17:47Yeah, sorry.
17:49Drink, anyone?
17:49It should be free.
17:51Here, Ian.
17:51We're going to wet this baby's head, or what?
17:54Yeah, not without me mum.
17:57Where the hell are you?
17:58Call us when you get this, all right?
17:59Hello, Cathy.
18:07Glad to see you've seen sense in your old age.
18:10Phone first.
18:11I want that footage deleted.
18:15After, I've gone through this.
18:19Hope you broke the news to Ian gently.
18:21In what of his doggy ticker, we wouldn't want him keeling over now, would we?
18:25Oh, no.
18:27That's not what we agreed.
18:29It's a good deal.
18:32I'm the only one you're going to get.
18:34You think you can seriously barter with me, do you?
18:37Don't make me scratch your eyes out when I've only just had my nails done.
18:40Oh, shut up.
18:42Look, I know you, Cindy.
18:44Yeah, you're angry.
18:45You're hurt.
18:46You say you don't care.
18:48But you're not quite the heartless bitch you make out to be.
18:50Yes, and you want money and revenge.
18:55But not as much as you want your family back.
18:58No, but that's not going to happen, is it?
18:59Well, babies have a way of bringing people together.
19:03You know, and little Jimmy here, he could be your last shot at redemption.
19:06But if you ruin Ian, or get me sent down, you can kiss any of that goodbye.
19:12This is your way in.
19:16Well, a chance, at least.
19:19So don't cut your nose off to spite your face.
19:23Come on, Fred.
19:25Oh, listen.
19:25I don't know that she was in there.
19:27Oh, listen.
19:28Come on, Fred.
19:32Bonnie.
19:33Bonnie, listen.
19:35Listen, I know you're upset.
19:37And you've every right to be.
19:39As everyone knows, they'll all think I'm as scared.
19:44No, they won't.
19:45Well, you do.
19:46I saw the way you was looking at me this morning.
19:49Yeah.
19:51Worried.
19:53You're hurt and confused.
19:57And I know you think I don't know what it's like to be your age.
20:00I do understand.
20:02No, you don't.
20:03No one does.
20:06So tell me.
20:08Hmm?
20:09So what happened at the police station?
20:16I mean, you say you're fine.
20:17Because I am.
20:19But you're not.
20:22You can't be.
20:25Hey?
20:26The one thing that you had control over.
20:30Your body.
20:34Yeah.
20:35Listen.
20:35I know what it's like to feel angry.
20:41Dirty.
20:43And then a boy comes along.
20:46And he's nice to you.
20:49And he wants to.
20:52And you think, why not?
20:54You should be grateful, right?
20:56I just want it to feel wanted.
21:00I know it's stupid.
21:02I know it's stupid.
21:03I know it's stupid.
21:03All right, but...
21:04You are wanted.
21:07You are so wanted.
21:10And you are worth so much more than you realize.
21:14He's going to need feeding soon.
21:23Just give her another minute, yeah?
21:25Oh.
21:28About time.
21:29Where have you been?
21:30Do you think I was going to have a boulevard, I think, is it?
21:32Boulevard?
21:33No, no, no, no, no.
21:34Ian, I need to tell you something.
21:35No, my mum.
21:36Later.
21:36All right?
21:36He's going to be screaming the place down in a minute.
21:40Sorted.
21:41Deleted.
21:42Gone.
21:43Ladies and gentlemen, if I could just have your attention for a moment, please.
21:47Firstly, I'd like to thank you for your patience.
21:51I'll try and keep this brief.
21:53Got a chance on that.
21:56Thanks, Phil.
21:57Look, as you know, it's been a very tough year for my family.
22:03It has been for a lot of us around here.
22:06And to be honest, I mean, we could have easily gone under if it hadn't been for my mum.
22:10So, yeah, trying times.
22:13But it does make you realise what is important in life, which is friends and community and family.
22:21And my family has just got bigger, better and brighter thanks to that little man there.
22:29So, if you could raise your glasses, please.
22:34To my gorgeous new grandson, Jimmy Beal.
22:39Jimmy Beal.
22:41To family.
22:45And to new beginnings, eh, Cathy?
22:47Now you can finally put your feet up.
22:50Can I take him upstairs?
22:51I don't want her anywhere near him.
22:53Oh, dear.
22:56You need to go.
22:57Oh, sorry.
22:58Have you not told him yet?
23:00Oh, I'm sorry to spoil the surprise.
23:03Anyway, raise your glasses.
23:05You are now looking at the new owner of the Albert.
23:11It's fine.
23:25We're going to get you all the help you need, okay?
23:28I promise.
23:29Oh, I'm sorry.
23:35Oh, I'm sorry.
23:41I'm sorry.
23:42Please tell me that's not yours.
23:49What were you thinking?
23:50Guilty conscience, eh, Cathy?
23:53Nobody can put a price on peace of mind, can they?
23:55Just leave it here.
23:56Look, you won't get away with this.
23:57I'm going to get my lawyers on you.
23:59Peter, please.
24:01Wait.
24:02This doesn't change anything.
24:04You need to just stay away, Mum.
24:06But I'll tell her where to shove her new beginnings.
24:09Yeah, she's caused enough damage.
24:10Don't let school another night.
24:13What could be sell-up?
24:14She loves that play.
24:18Peyton, please.
24:20I know what you're thinking.
24:22I didn't force you, Gran.
24:23Did it hurt the goodness of her heart, did she?
24:25She wanted to make amends.
24:27Yes.
24:28Do you not think I deserve some kind of conversation after what she's put me through?
24:32What she's put you through, Mum?
24:33What about us?
24:35You lied.
24:35You cheated on Dad.
24:38Yes, I know.
24:39And I'm sorry.
24:40I'm sorry I hurt you.
24:42And I wish I could go back and do things differently.
24:44But I can't do anything for the other side of London, can I?
24:49And Cathy knows that.
24:51That this was her idea.
24:53We're family.
24:55Whatever's happened to us, whatever mistakes we've made, we have to get through this.
25:01For Louie.
25:02For Jimmy.
25:04I know it's going to take you a long time to trust me again.
25:08But, you know, that's why I'm here.
25:10When you're ready.
25:11I don't believe you.
25:12I don't know how you've managed this, but you've taken advantage of the one person who's holding this family together.
25:19Yeah.
25:20Well, your precious Gran is not as perfect as you think she is.
25:25The difference between me and her is that I have taken responsibility for what I've done.
25:31But she...
25:32Peter!
25:33Peter!
25:33Peter!
25:33Peter!
25:34Peter!
25:34Oh, shit!
