Life

You decided to sleep with your dead girlfriend's husband?

You can't tell him.

Why didn't you tell me Andy was here the other night? What?

The weird thing is why you hid it.

I like YOU!

I'm illicit now.

What? Oh, come on!

It's not a good idea. You want it. You dick! I hate you!

Any idea where she might be? No.

Have you looked at your bank statements?

That might give you some idea where.

She hits her head and five minutes later, she died.

She was in Liverpool,

and I couldn't understand why she was there in the first place.

Leave me alone! Ow!

David, this isn't working. It's her, isn't it? Belle.

It's not going anywhere.

HORN BLARES Helen! I just wondered

if you wanted to meet up sometime. Have a bit of fun.

Please... It's not fair, Gail!

DOORBELL RINGS

Thank you.

And that's for you.

Hello! And welcome to Transform This Girl.

I'm Sue Bede... PHONE BEEPS

..head girl, and I'm very strict.

I'm your hostess for the evening's festivities.

Oh, it's been a hair roller-coaster so far.

We started with ten contestants,

and we've whittled it down to a final three.

SHE CHUCKLES

Hi, I'm Tom. Hi, Gail. Nice to meet you.

And you too. Er, shall I, er...?

TYRES SCREECH

TOILET FLUSHES

Tea?

Lovely.

I just want the truth.

This has nothing to do with me.

We've been neighbours for years. And yet I barely know you,

which speaks volumes. I'm sorry for what happened to Kelly,

but beyond that, you can't ask for me to get involved.

You are involved! You spoke to Saira.

But she didn't speak to you! Well, exactly!

Argh! I know. About what?!

David, you need to go now.

DOOR CLOSES

We need a new rule.

If I am hungover, nothing happens.

Understood?

OK.

Now leave me alone.

I need at least 24 hours of complete peace.

Just remember your job interview today.

DOOR CLOSES Ow, ugh...

What's that?

Breakfast!

You wanted to talk?

Always helps me. Right.

There's a boy at the end of the road.

Well, I say boy, he's probably 40.

He sorts me out.

Oh, thanks.

If anyone asks, it's medicinal.

So...

Oh, come on. It won't kill you.

Well, that is definitely true, but, er...

..no, thank you - not my thing.

Oh, good old Henry -

unflappable to the end.

What do you mean?

Well, the world changes, but nothing changes you.

Bravo.

SHE INHALES SHARPLY

Have an amazing day today. Swapping over at five, right? OK.

Er, can we say, if you're worried about anything in the future,

we'll talk about it? We're always better when we talk.

Yeah.

And not hide things from each other.

Yeah. Exactly.

Er, I've got to go.

I'm sorry, I'm stupid.

About what?

Not telling you Andy was here.

We're going to be OK, aren't we?

Yeah, more than OK.

Go on, you'll be late. Yeah.

Right. Bye!

The dress is disgusting. I'm sure that's not true.

It makes me look like a curtain. Oh, Maya...

Seriously - it's the sort of thing you'd wear.

Well, it's up to the bride.

The bride said I could wear jeans. Well, she's being polite.

Wear jeans, and you'll ruin it for everyone.

Did you find out where you could get some help?

Look, occasionally, I'll fall off the wagon, but that doesn't mean...

Falling off the wagon wasn't the problem.

Yeah, all right. Falling into the wall...

I'd better go. Good luck with your interview.

I know you want it, and you can get it.

Just relax this time, yeah?

Chill.

I am chilled.

You're basically never chilled.

DOOR CLOSES

PHONE RINGS

Hello?

What?!

When?

DOOR CLOSES

Didn't they call?

Literally just now.

Right. So, apparently, I'm not supposed to be on my own.

And I don't want to go back to mine anyway, so... I have to stay here.

Why are you wearing a suit? Ruth, it's hard enough as it is...

Oh, OK, what do you want me to do, then?

BELLE SIGHS

Maya's in the spare room.

You'll, er... You'll have to go in mine.

Oh, we are not sharing. God, no. I'll take the sofa.

I'm wearing a suit because I've got an interview.

Again?

Same place, actually.

You want to have another go at persuading them you're fun?

It means you will be on your own today, there's no avoiding that.

Where's Maya? At a dress fitting

for a wedding, and then a hen do... A wedding?

She's a bridesmaid for the woman across the hall.

Try to keep it tidy today.

Don't go through my cupboards.

I'll get some Curly Wurlys on the way home, I know you like them.

I'm not a child.

All right, I won't, then. No, fuck off, do.

I'm just saying. Just, if you need to go anywhere...

Oh, shit.

I just assumed that was the sort of person she was. You know, quiet,

normal. Quiet, perhaps, but...

..she always had a spark to her.

That's not what you said to me.

What? Well, I remember, when we were together,

you called her dull. No.

No, I wouldn't... You did.

KEY RATTLES IN LOCK

You expecting someone?

Speak of the devil.

Hi.

Oh.

Oh, hello, Helen.

Is that...?

Is that weed, Helen?

Yes. Do you want some?

Oh, that's kind, but not right now.

Have you been here all night?

Helen came over this morning.

I wanted someone to talk to.

Oh, right. Well, that makes sense.

Er, well, don't let me interrupt.

I'll, er, just go and unpack.

Oh, we're due at Rachel's.

Shall we aim to leave in an hour? We can catch up in the car.

You're back, then?

Yes.

For good?

Yes.

I... should go.

Good luck!

HE SIGHS

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, amen.

Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.

I haven't been to confession for... two months,

since Kelly died.

All right.

I've been finding it very difficult to pray.

Why's that?

I've always tried to dedicate my life to God.

I mean, I haven't been perfect, but I've sincerely made the attempt.

Yes.

David, I know that's true.
