Leaving

- How long have you been out of uni? - Three years. I live in hope.

I want to be in events and catering. You inspired me, Julie.

Waste of time interviewing him. Won't last two minutes.

Lucky I'm not using the staff quarters. Never get any sleep.

- Not a good idea, that. - We were just messing around.

I'm a married woman with two teenage kids.

- It's just a day out. - I walked out the door this morning lying.

I'd be coming back later lying.

What now?

We get back to work.

I meant... what now?

Mm.

Not now. Just get out of here.

Go on.

Hiya.

I've got the place to myself.

For the last few years this bedroom's felt like somewhere I shouldn't be.

And now?

For some reason I don't mind it at all.

- I've never even heard of this. - So?

- Can I borrow it? - Why?

Cos you're reading it and I've never heard of it. We could discuss it

- Julie. - Mm.

I like you the way you are.

I don't.

Come on, you three, it's ready.

- Have you got any sauce? - It's in the cupboard.

- Maxine! Dean! - Can't you just reach up there, Ju?

Maxine, phone down.

- Dean! - I'm not that hungry, actually.

- What is it anyway? - Sorry, should I have given you a menu?

No need to get funny.

Spag bol. Dean!

- I'll just eat the bol not the spag. - Is there any water or juice?

- Oh, yeah, sorry. - There's no grated cheese.

- Just give me a minute. - You're supposed to be in catering, Mum.

- Everyone just... just carry on. - Not Parmesan. It smells of sick.

Where are you going?

I was just giving it a minute to cool down.

I'm not your skivvy. I'm not. All right?

I've just been cleaning up your bedroom.

Sorry, I meant to.

It's not the condoms I mind so much, it's the smell of my perfume.

Could you tell your friend not to help herself to what's on my dresser?

- But she didn't. No. - Didn't?

What? She wears the same perfume then?

She left her reading glasses up there too.

- How old is this girl? - Does it matter?

Course not.

Are you on first thing?

Shame to go all the way home and then back in again.

Got room for me in the staff quarters, have you?

I could... squeeze you in.

Whoa.

Who's on in the morning?

- I am. - And me.

You drew up the rota, Julie.

I thought I heard you volunteering for extra duty... or something.

- Not getting a lift home tonight then? - Does it look like it?

Anyway, I thought you'd be riding the bike.

We were just having a laugh.

Do you fancy her?

- Get hard, did you? - Grow up.

That's something coming from you.

Just go off to the staff quarters and see if I care.

Listen to me. I sound like my daughter.

She jealous as well, is she?

I'm just... This is just...

This is just what?

It's just a fling. Just a thing.

- Just a fling. Fun. - Where's the fun gone then?

I should at least expect to trust you.

And what am I supposed to expect?

- You're going home to your husband. - Bus is coming. No more arguing.

Come in those woods with me.

I've already said I've got to get home.

Do you expect me to lie on my back over there?

What do you take me for?

Someone who'd miss the next bus for me.

Why?

Because we can't get enough of each other.

- Morning, Dee. - Morning, Julie.

I ask you all to be upstanding

and prepare to welcome your bridal party.

This step which you are about to take

is the most important into which human beings can come.

Your lives will change, your responsibilities will increase,

but your joy will be multiplied

if you are sincere and earnest with your pledge to each other.

- Aaron, could you spare a minute, please? - Yeah.

Julie, what's happened to your lipstick?

- What do you mean what's happened? - It's all smudged.

- Oh. It must be something I ate. - Sorry.

What's going on, Ju?

Not now.

You may now kiss each other.

- Good night, Ted. - Good night, Julie.

- I don't believe you. - I don't believe me either but there you go.

- He's not much more than a kid, is he? - I know.

You've worked with loads of young fellas over the years and never...

I know.

- And what about Michael? - I know.

You still love Michael, don't you?

It's just about the sex, is it?

- I think so. - You think so?

I hope so. Cos what else could have possessed you to risk it all?

- Look, I know it's not for me to say... - So don't.

I don't know exactly what's got into you.

He's got into me.

Just standing there with a picnic basket waiting for me

or sitting in casualty beaten to buggery because of me.

- Well, you've lost me now. - I just...

Being round him,

him being round me.

It's hard to say no. I don't want to say no.

- You've got to get this out of your system, Julie. - How?

Take every opportunity till you're done with it.

The lights don't work in this room.

Well, I'm glad that's all you've got to complain about.

Get yourself over to the function suite.

I'll get this bed straight.

I said...

What are you doing here, Julie?

One of the bridesmaids who was staying here last weekend...

- lost a ring. - Why didn't she call through housekeeping?

So I came to look for it.

Five minutes earlier, the head of housekeeping would have walked in and seen us.

- What could have happened didn't. - First it would spread round the hotel.

Then I'm dismissed. Michael asks why I'm dismissed and I have to admit it.

- I have to tell him. - Nothing happened.

It's happening now.

We're doing something we shouldn't be doing. Saying stuff in the ceremony room.

What if someone had overheard us? What if someone had come out?

Look, from now on I won't even look at you twice. It'll all be outside of work.

You seem to like taking risks, Julie.

You were up for it.

That is my trouble.

I am up for it.

But I shouldn't be up for it.

Should I?

What are you saying?

Look, Aaron, for you there's nothing at stake.

I am not going to lose what I have got. I am not. All right?

Aaron.

Julie, are you there?

- I can hear you. - Could you come to reception?

Running all the way.

I don't know if you're interested

but we've got a cleaning and valet concession here as of next Monday.

That'll be handy. I get my car in a right mess. There is stuff everywhere.

I'll ask them to give me a good going over when they come.

- I need sprucing up a bit. - Mm, you're not doing too badly.

Mum.

- What have you done? - What do you mean what's she done?

She's got fake bake on.

- She's got what? - Tanning lotion.

I thought you was looking a bit... brown.

- What for, Mum? - What's wrong with your normal, you know... skin?

I can understand it if you were on reception.

- Has Hugh Palmer made you put that stuff on? - No, it was me.

I just wanted to look better, all right?

I feel silly. I made a mistake. I'm going to get rid of it.

Well, I couldn't tell, anyway.

- Boob job next. - Hang on, me first.

- Maxine, you're 16. Don't be ridiculous. - And you're 44.

- Why not just stick a bit of lippy on? - I'm going to scrub it off.

I'm going to get into the shower, scrub the bloody thing away.

Ready?

- Derek. - Yes, love.

Listen, we've got a problem with the in-room sound system.

- Right. - Sounds like a pirate radio station

- every time the music comes in. - I'll be there in... ten.

OK, see you then. We've got house maintenance coming.

Can we talk?

Let's just work. Let's just keep it like this. Hugh!

- Julie, can I have a word? - I'm just waiting for house maintenance.

Now.

I'll deal with maintenance.

- What the hell you were doing? - I don't know how it happened.

- I'm sure I sent email confirmation. - There's no sign of it and we've lost him to another job.

Two days away from a wedding and no photographer.

Do you think people can get out their mobiles instead?

- I'll find someone else. - With two days notice?

- Where's your head been at? - I said I'll find someone else.

I'm sorry, Hugh. I'm so sorry.

What's wrong?

I forgot to book the wedding photographer for Saturday.

And he's found another job.

- I am not doing my job properly. - How did you forget?

I've got a lot on my mind.

I need a bloody miracle.

Oh, just go and help Paulina.

I know someone.

- Jonah. - Take a good snap, does he?

Did his degree in photography.

- What's he doing now? - Making cappuccinos.

OK, he's never photographed a wedding before.

But he can come in and show you his portfolio.

He's smart. He'll get it.

I hope he appreciates how highly you think of him.
