The Holiday - First Season

Mum!

Odette!

Jake!

Lucy!

Jenny!

Dad!

Stay where you are!

Stop filming me then.

I'm not filming you, I'm filming the holiday.

- Daniel, pack it in. - It's for school.

Dad!

Everything alright back there?

The air cons brilliant.

First to see the sea. Me!

- I can't believe you got this car. - You said, "be more spontaneous."

Can't wait.

Are we going to be the first?

- No, Rowan'll be there. - Lucy.

Do you reckon Jake's gonna be there?

Yeah, Daniel, he will be. You like Jake.

How long?

Approximately 22 minutes.

Mum, no.

What? Look, this holiday has officially started.

Rowan's e-mail said something about where to park.

- Didn't get it. - No, everyone did.

- Let me see. - It's dead.

But you were just looking at it.

Does this belongs to Rowan?

Yeah. One of her clients.

Beats camping that's for sure, huh?

Absolutely typical.

I thought we were friends, for fuck's sake!

Yeah, did your best? It isn't bloody good enough.

- Are you okay, Sean? - Yeah.

Just tired.

- This place looks great. - Goodness me.

- You are so beautiful. - Thank you.

- How are you? - I am good. I am good.

Daniel...

- Jake's already in the pool. - Mum, where's my swimming stuff?

- Hello! - Hi there.

- Let's get the bags in first. - This is amazing!

Isn't it?

- Have you done something? - Got older.

- No, your hair looks all swishy. - You're such a shit liar.

No, honestly.

Sean.

- Nice place you've got here. - I wish.

- Oh, have you been working out? - Middle-aged panic.

- Jen and Al not here? - They went to do the shop.

I thought we were gonna do that first.

You know what she's like.

We'll sort it out at the end of the holiday.

- Okay, great. - Look, I know we always say it...

- It's been too long! - Yes!

- Russ, can you help with the... - I'm on the phone.

Who is it you represent again?

- Stop keeping the peace. - I know, old habits.

And this is your room.

- This is lovely. Thank you so much. - Don't expect this every year, mind.

In my experience, if you don't expect something, you don't get it.

Oh, a bit different from our first day in halls.

- What, you don't like it? - No, no, no, no, I love it, it's...

What?

It's Sean. It's the last couple of days...

Let's chat later. Time for some bubbly!

How the other half live, huh?

Would you really want something like this?

Sure, why not?

What's a couple of million? Stick it on the card.

- So talking of being spontaneous... - Oh yeah?

- Thought you said it was dead. - Yeah.

Bloody wish it was.

You've got an ensuite. That's so unfair.

Course we've got the ensuite. We're the parents.

- This is amazing! - Not really.

- You been in yet? - No.

Hey, Lucy, watch me!

Right, let's see. Would you mind giving me a hand?

Of course, of course. And only a little for me.

- I've got a headache. - A lot for me, please.

Thank you.

- Cheers. - Now, isn't this amazing?

How much do we owe you?

I said we'd sort it out at the end of the holidays.

When's Izzy coming?

- I'm picking her up tomorrow at nine. - Is this a private party?

- Or can anyone join in? - Seany, look at you.

Not so bad yourself, Jenny.

Can you believe he's training for the Bristol Half Marathon?

Is that what he's been telling you?

Well, we've both brought our running stuff,

so we'll see, won't we?

Yeah.

Can I just ask whose idea it was to bring children?

Really, Jake wouldn't leave home without that bloody Xbox...

- We've got one here. - Please don't tell him.

Just one week away from all that noise

would be wonderful.

Welcome to paradise, kids.

Alistair, let me...

- No, it's fine. - They look heavy.

Just because I don't lug bags of mulch around every day,

doesn't mean I can't handle some shopping bags.

Well, did you get any pasta? Cause Kate and I are cooking tonight.

- Oh, no, we're all going out. - I thought we...

Please, no one wants to cook on the first night.

I mean, it's a celebration. We're all together again.

- Apart from Izzy. - Izzy.

And when she comes, we can do it all again.

Well, cheers to that.

- Cheers! - Thank you.

- What's the Wi-Fi code? - Rowan will know it.

Do you like your room?

I said thank you.

- No, I know, I just... - What?

Look.

I know you've been really stressed out with exams and stuff,

but I just want you to forget all that and just relax.

I will when I get the Wi-Fi code.

What was Rowan showing you on her phone?

Are you spying on me?

I was looking at a house she's thinking of buying.

When was that?

Couple of months ago.

I told you. I'm sure I did.

And she's asked you to do the landscaping?

What are you doing?

- No, we can't... - Oh we can.

Mom!

Oh, fuck!

- Hold on! - Sorry.

- Where's the iPad? - No!

- I said no iPad. - It's for school.

It's still in the car I think.

Good lad.

I've been an arsehole these last few days.

I know it and I'm sorry.

- Can we afford to go out tonight? - No, but...

- Put it on the card. - Put it on the card.

That could have been really dangerous!

- No, Jake. Come on. - Come on!

How's that? Fab, it's alright.

I know, I just need to see. Okay. Look at me.

- Does it hurt when I do that? - Yeah.

- What the hell happened? - They were just messing about...

It was an accident.

- Come on. - Just leave him!

Come on.

It wasn't an accident.

You know what boys are like.

Was it Jake?

Daniel, it's not telling tales. I just need to know the truth.

Why are you so angry?

Sorry. Sorry, I'm just worried.

You okay?

Do you wanna show it on my new phone?

- Can I? - We said no phones.

No. No. Come on. It's okay.

Let them have some fun. Go and play. Both of you.

- Can I? - Yeah. Yeah. Of course.

Kate?

You been crying?

No. No. Just a sudden panic.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I get those ever since Jake was born.

You'd think they'd stop after 16 years, but...

You need a Jenny Special.

It's like been back at your room at uni.

My God, what I wouldn't give to be back there.

Really?

To be 20 again? Are you mad? I would've had so much more fun.

We had fun, didn't we?

Well, we are where we are.

Ready?

Three, two, one.

I am sure it was just an accident.

I saw it.

Okay, fine. I'll keep an eye on him.

- I'm sorry. - Thank you.

Sorry about Daniel.

- You okay? - Who is that texting you?

It's the football dads from school.

There's a five-a-side Tuesday. Do you fancy it?

If you don't come down now, the table'll be gone.

Here we are.

- How you gonna have your steak? - As bloody as it comes.

Yum!

- I am starving. - I'm hungry.

I want a coke.

No. I don't want you to have a fizzy drink.

He'll be fine.

Do you ever see Michael these days, Rowan?

Not since the divorce, no.

Why you asking about him?

You know.

We haven't been together in ages, just reminded me.

Keep up. Michael hasn't been around since Daniel's christening.

How's the book coming along, Alistair?

Your "best-seller" ten years in the making, eh?
