Chloe

Hello, you've reached Chloe Fairbourne.

Please leave me a message after the beep.

I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Bye.

DIAL TONE RINGS Hello? Becky. Chloe?

Chloe. What did... What did you want to say?

I'm just going to experience life out there for a few years.

Then I spent six months up there, got to know people,

got to know the city.

The most exciting place to live is Daikanyama.

Daikanyama? Yeah. Yeah, so, it's a bit more residential,

but it's got some really lovely shops. If you get a chance to visit,

there's an amazing unagi place called Nodina.

I really recommend it. I absolutely love unagi. Yes!

At Nodina in Daikanyama, the best unagi I have ever had.

Wow, I mean, you're coming through with some great recommendations...

It's such an amazing area, Daikanyama.

Ooh, this is the flat I lived in with Alex and Natalia.

Oh, my God, Liv, there was this place around the corner

that just did the best unagi. I still think about it twice a day.

Oh, God, I'm salivating. It was so good.

Shall we order some food? I think we should.

We should do!

Right... Oh, erm...

By the way, I've been feeling really bad about that, erm,

that dinner at yours. You don't have to feel bad, you didn't do anything.

No, I definitely think it was made worse by me being there.

How is everyone? How's Elliot?

You know. Oh, speak of the devil. MOBILE PHONE RINGS

Sorry, just a sec.

Hey, El. How you doing?

The news? No.

One second, please.

No. Why, what's happening?

Oh, my God.

Bristol North MP Graham Brannigan

has resigned after a series of allegations

that he sent sexually explicit messages to a female colleague.

The messages were said to include images of bestiality

which the married father of two reportedly sent

in order to brag about the size of his genitalia.

I've just...I've just seen. Oh, my God, this is excellent.

Can we please call this "Horsegate"?

I can't believe that. Is Elliot going for it?

I mean, you know, obviously, it's not a done deal,

but he met all the Westminster guys at Conference

and they're all behind him. Wow, that's great.

Yeah.

Maybe I should put together, like, a little evening, or something.

Make sure he's got all their support. Yes, definitely.

Mm, just... OK, let me...

Can I help at all? Oh, you're sweet.

No, really. It would be great to get a feel for the job.

I'm actually OK with all the Elliot stuff. But I do have a photoshoot

with another client coming up I could use your help with. Sure.

Yeah? OK, great. Cool.

You know, this is my time,

and I am done apologising for being ambitious.

Yes, yes.

Cheers to that. Cheers to that!

Oh, hang on. This is a good picture op.

Oh, sorry, erm...

No, do you mind... Sorry, do you mind not?

Oh, sure, sorry. What's...

Erm, it's... Er, it's a crazy story, really. Erm...

I...I have a stalker.

Oh, my God. That's so exciting. No.

Er, it's just a guy I went on a couple of dates with.

Oh. Erm, yeah, when I had a profile,

he would just show up at things I was at

pretending it was a coincidence. Yeah.

What the hell is wrong with people?

I don't know, it's bizarre.

Thanks, mate.

For what? You know, for staying with me.

Oh, my God. I was literally in it for your mum's fry up.

Can't sleep? Nah.

BABY CRIES IN THE DISTANCE

Where's your sister?

Mum.

Mum. Where's your sister? It's the neighbour's baby.

Mum. Sas...

Mum! Sasha!

CRYING CONTINUES

Mum, are you all right? Don't...don't touch me.

How long can you stay? Whenever. My mum doesn't give a shit.

Well, we're lucky to have you.

Breathe in...

..and breathe out.

Feel your breaths as a wave.

Now, open your eyes.

No, it's yesterday. What?

Hey. Hey, nice to see you. Mm.

She's a two-faced bitch.

You look great, by the way. Thank you, I feel better.

Less groggy. What did I say?

Have you got your membership yet? No, not yet.

OK, let's get it, come on. No, Liv...

Hi, Daph. Can I recommend this amazing lady for membership, please?

Er, Liv, I don't have my ID.

It's OK, just put your name down and secure the spot.

I'll vouch for her. I'd recommend that.

We get a flurry of applications around this time.

OK, erm, Sasha Miles.

I need to take a deposit. The annual membership is £950.

So it'll be 250 deposit. Great.

Oh, Sash. Oh. Woo!

Erm, Liv, would you mind filling up my water bottle while I do this?

Oh, yeah, sure. Thank you.

Erm, I've been having some issues with my bank.

But if it doesn't go through, we can just do it later. Yeah, no worries.

BEEPING

CHIME AND BEEPING

All good. Great.

Sorry, can I get my card back? We're in a bit of a rush.

Of course, no problem. Thank you. Thank you so much.

All good? Sorted. Great.

Awesome, see you soon. Thanks, Daph. Thank you, bye-bye.

Fuck! What?

You know the graphic designer that I was really excited about,

who was going to do the invites for Elliot's thing then redo my website?

Yeah. She's just pulled out, the little ringworm.

I'm so sorry. What am I meant to do? Elliot's coming over.

She was going to send me the designs today.

Well, don't panic.

What is it you need done right now? The invite design? Yeah.

But I can do that.

I did all the graphic design for the gallery in Tokyo.

Really? Yeah, of course.

I mean, w-w-we could...we could try, if you don't...

It's fine. I can come to yours if you like.

Something like this, just simple.

Yeah. Yeah? Yeah.

Let me send you the info that needs to be in the design. OK.

DOORBELL RINGS Oh, gosh. El's here already. Er...

Back in one.

DOOR OPENS

INDISTINCT CHATTER AND DOOR CLOSES

Have you had to do a speech? I know I can't.

You remember Sasha. Hi. Hi.

She's helping me with the invites. Great, thank you.

No...no worries. Shall we...? Er, it's fine.

I can leave you to it. No, we'll go to the stu...

We'll go to the study. Erm, I'll just grab my things.

Sorry, let's go.

INDISTINCT CONVERSATION

OK, yeah, I'll give it another whirl. OK. Yeah.

I'll be OK.

Yeah, I can imagine. I'm finding the house hard to be in.

It's full of her stuff.

I know I should just sort through it all.

But I don't know. I can't face it.

I keep avoiding it.

Maybe it's comforting, or something. Like she's still there.

Like she could come home any moment.

DOOR CLOSES

Hey, how you getting on? Hey, good. Do you want to see? Mm, please.

Yeah, this is great. You are a life-saver.

Oh, good. Yeah, because you just saved me £2,000.

CHILDREN CALL OUT Oh, hey, my loves.

Hey! Hey, guys. Sorry to interrupt. No.

Come on, back inside. Mummy, can we play football?

Mummy's just working right now. Erm...

Daddy, come play football.

I don't think so, mate. Shall we go and play upstairs instead? No!

I just need 20 minutes to get these invites out, then I'll do bath time.

I can't have a work life. OK, I'll do them tonight.

I'm sorry. It's fine. Noah, shall we do football later...?

Guys, erm, I can...I can hang out with them for a bit,

just to give you guys a breather.

Oh, my God, that would be amazing. Do you mind?

No, it's fine. Noah, do you want to hang out? Yeah!

Someone likes you! OK, great. Well, I'm going to play football.

You are! I'll go and get dinner on, or something. Thank you.

Oh, he's started. But just...just 20 minutes.

That's fine. And, erm, should I add you to the guest list?

Could be fun. Oh, yeah.

Sure, why not? It's a week on Friday? That's right. Sure.

OK, great. Cool, I'll do it now. OK.

Right, come on, then, Noah! Good luck!

CHILDREN SHOUT AND LAUGH

I'm exhausted. I bet you are.

I... Keeping my eyes open. Listen, erm...

Thanks so much for your help. No, it was a pleasure, honestly.

Just one thing. Josh is on the guest list.

SASHA CHUCKLES Still haven't heard from him? No.

But it's fine. There's no bad blood or anything.

You back off.

OK, good. I thought you'd be cool with it, but I just wanted to check.

Well, thanks for doing that. No probs.

I'll see you Friday. You will. OK. Bye.

Where are you going? Party.

TV PLAYS

Are you going to be OK on your own, Mum?

Fancy dress, this party, then?

Thank you so much.

Oh, hi. Hi, there you are.

Hey. Hey. Look at you. Look at you.

THEY CHUCKLE Hi, nice to see you again.

Nice to see you. Oh, you must meet Tiggy. Come.

Sorry to interrupt. Darling, beautiful as ever. Thank you.
