Kindling

Am I seriously the only one that's bored of this?

What have we done for the last two weeks, really?

- Wolfie, come on. - Sid, everyone's come back for you,

-so surely we can be doing... - Now, hold on. Where... where is all this coming from?

Diggs, you've not let Sid out the house for last two months,

preparing him for this big summer!

- Well, I'm taking care of him. - No, no, mate!

You're just sheltering him from his own life.

This is the first summer we've all been back together since, what, school?

- Yeah. - It's probably gonna be our last summer together.

- Why aren't we doing more? - Please stop.

- - Please pull over now. Please.

Sid, tell me you don't want more.

Dribble, just stop the car!

Sid!

- - Sid!

Sid!

Sid, mate, I...

I didn't... I didn't mean to upset you.

I just... I just feel like we could be doing more, you know?

I just don't wanna waste this time.

- Mmm. -

I, um...

- What are you doing? - You missed it!

- Jess came in and Dribs melted! - What?

Have you not even spoken to her yet?

That was horrible.

Mate, you... you shouldn't.

Hey, do you have an off switch?

What you should be saying is, "Sid, it's nice to drink with you again."

- Eh? Cheers! - Cheers, boys.

- Cheers. - Yeah.

Well, I wanted this summer to be remembered.

Next Friday will be three years since...

well, since they told me that they didn't think

I'd make it more than three years. So, cheers.

Cheers.

Well, that's it, then. We're celebrating that.

Sid, let me come up with something for us to do.

Something we'll all remember. Just say you're up for it.

Maybe.

- Yeah? - Yeah, that could be good.

Yeah, mate. Yeah.

All he needed was a cheeky beer. See that?

- Are you serious? - We're having a moment here, Plod.

They're calling about tonight!

Sid, just take it easy, man.

- - Oh, no, no.

- Sid, mate. What's wrong? - Get me home. Get me home.

How many drinks did he have?

I don't know.

- I told you, Wolfie. - Sid... Okay...

- Get me home, Diggs. - Yeah, mate, we've got you.

Sid, wave goodbye.

For one night only,

Sid grew his balls back to drink like a man!

- - Wolfie!

That's it. Come on.

- Hang on. - Shh.

- - Sid, act cool.

Oh, you've gotta be joking.

You're the one who's meant to be looking after him.

Cheers.

- Dribs. Dribs. Help. Please. - What?

I did bad.

- - What have you done?

It just got so stiff.

This better not be superglue. I swear.

Nah. It's just PVA.

I've got to go to work like this.

Yeah, well, you cracked my phone screen!

That's material, mate!

This is my essence. We're not equal.

I mean, you could just call in sick.

Or quit.

And pay my rent with what?

I mean, the offer's always there if you wanna stay at mine.

I'm not a charity.

Hello, my boy.

As this song is being released today,

I thought I'd make you this special little video.

I guess it's for, um,

whenever you're feeling sad.

Every word was written with you in mind.

- Morning, Dad. - Morning.

Hi there. Evan here.

- Leave me a message. -

Hey, Dad. Um, it's me again.

Just give us a call when you get this, yeah?

You say no, but then you do this.

Which is, you know, not what we agreed.

And you. We've entrusted you

to look after our son, your friend.

No drinking. Home by 10:00.

Can you do that?

The atmosphere of our planet Earth is formed of many...

- - Did you know Wolfie had work this morning?

He's a machine, isn't he?

Mmm. Tell me about it.

By this point, his blood's made of beer.

You know he'll try and make this thing next Friday his.

Do you think I should talk to him?

If it's important to you.

I feel like it should be your thing.

I can't believe you found this.

- Wow! - Oh, mate.

Master collection you've got here.

Wolfie...

He's, like, 7'5".

He's so big, compared to everyone at the party's, like, this big, and Wolfie's huge.

I think this is the one where Plod got pushed into the pond.

"My Precious," that's the one where your mum's

- singing as a tree. - As a tree.

Ah, this one's my favorite. "Helm's Deep."

I mean, that was the first one we did, I'm pretty sure.

Yeah.

- Are you sure you don't need any... - No.

I'll be all right, mate. Please?

It's not here, Judith.

- The black one. - It's not... That's not it.

- Oh, well, keep looking. -

- Wolfie. - Yeah, mate.

- Did it come? - Yeah. It's under the desk.

I'm guessing Diggs don't know.

- No. - To the right?

Has the doctor just stopped giving it to you?

- Just not enough. - Ah.

Listen, I wanted to talk to you about this thing next Friday.

Yeah! I've actually got a lot of ideas.

There's this new mountain bike trail opening up...

- No, it's my thing, Wolfie. - What?

- Leave it to me. - What do you mean?

- But I still need help looking for my book. - Yeah. Chill!

I need this, man.

- Yeah? - I don't want you boys to have a shit summer.

Just... leave it to me, yeah?

- Okay. - Thank you for this.

- I mean, the best books are over there, though... - Wolfie. My thing.

Your thing. Mad!

What are you doing? You're gonna hurt yourself.

Right. Oh, yeah, we'll do it together. Yeah?

That's gotta be the biggest book in this place.

Um, I...

I feel like I recognize you from somewhere.

I don't think so.

Okay. Well, I'm gonna join you,

'cause I can't find anything good.

I'm Lily.

Um... I'm Sid.

Okay, Sid.

Let's see what could be in this ridiculously heavy book.

The Earth's Atmosphere.

Why?

Uh... it's interesting.

I used to think it was just kind of...

you know, gases and stuff that just made up the atmosphere.

But it's... I mean, it's actually everything.

Our breath. Skin.

Yeah, I mean, pretty much everything that burns has to go somewhere, so...

So, like, my grandad was cremated recently.

Yeah. Exactly. So, he's...

Yeah, essentially still here, in... in a way.

So, are you studying this?

Um, I couldn't do the uni thing.

I had to stay around here instead.

Family stuff.

Yeah, I don't really feel like I needed uni either.

My family run the Mill Hill Antiques.
