The first 200 lines.
Nicola: Yeah, she looked beautiful, wonder what
she'd be like, 'cause, you know, she is different.
I-- I tell you, I was really shocked
by the, um, the name.
Yeah, good. Really good.
Adam: You alright? - You alright?
Adam: Yeah. You? - Yup. Good, thanks. Yeah.
Adam: What you got for dinner?
- Pasta. Adam: Nice.
- You alright? - Yeah, good.
- How are you? - Yeah, you seem stressed.
- Stressed? - Yeah, you seem...
- No, I'm fine. Adam: Something's bothered you.
No.
No, but, um...
Ava and Barry are engaged.
Adam: Hm.
They're going to Barcelona for the weekend
to celebrate.
Adam: Nice. - Yeah.
Adam: Why has that bothered you?
- Huh? - Why has it bothered you?
- It hasn't bothered me. - You seem upset by it.
I'm just saying how nice.
Adam: Yeah, I don't know why it's had such an effect on you.
Nicola: Well, she's having a better day than I am, isn't she?
She's engaged, and she's going to bloody Barcelona.
- Adam: So? - What do you mean "So?"
Why is that, why is that affecting you so much?
Well, just, you know, that's all I've heard all day.
What have I got to tell her?
What have I done? Where am I going? Nothing. Nowhere.
Nicola: It's like I don't know what to talk about any--
'Cause we're both busy, and you know how busy I am at work
at the minute. We will go away.
It's not like we're never gonna go away again, is it?
Well, it feels like that sometimes, I'll be honest.
I'm not asking for an engagement.
I'm asking for, like, us to just do shit together,
just do things, because I have nothing to talk about.
I'm a hairdresser, all I ask all day is,
"What are you doing? Are you going anywhere? Da-la-la-la-la."
And then they ask me and I go, "Nah, I'm just gonna go home,
cook, clean, go to Ikea at the weekend."
Oh, right, I didn't realize our life was so depressing for you.
No, I didn't mean it like that. That came out wrong.
I just... Yeah.
Can't let these people tell you what's wrong with your life.
Alright? There's no need to let it bother you.
It's mental, honestly.
We got a good life.
We've got our own space...
two cars.
Nicola: I know.
Alright? What we've got is good.
And you shouldn't be jealous of other people. It's silly.
- Alright? - Yes, darling. Are you?
Yeah.
Everything okay?
Yeah. I'm really sorry, though.
What for?
For just...
being me.
For being really difficult this week,
I'm just...
I'm sorry.
It's not your fault.
I don't know why I'm taking it out on you.
Thank you.
I was wondering what I'd done wrong.
You haven't.
You haven't done anything wrong.
Just my stupid head.
Hey, come on. You're just very sensitive.
- That's all it is. - I know. I'm sorry.
- Well, thank you. - I won't be anymore.
Mm. You just let things bother you too much.
- You get all het up and... - I know, I know.
Hm.
Just me and you chilling tonight. Can't wait.
I, I'll cook us some food.
I'm out tonight.
Are you? What, at the gym?
No, I'm going, um, for a drink with the girls.
- Are you? Out, out? - I texted you.
Well, to the pub. It's not out. I'm going in my work clothes.
- But... - Oh, right. Oh.
- You text me? - Yeah. Last week.
- Emily's birthday. - Oh, right.
I didn't, I didn't... I don't remember getting that.
Thought we've got the night together in front of the telly.
But, hey, it's your friend's birthday, so...
No, I don't... It's, it's not a big birthday.
And it's only the pub. I don't have to go.
It's not, like, her 30th or anything like that?
- No, she's, like, 32, 33. - Oh, right.
Um, I don't have to go. I'll cancel it.
- I mean-- - No, I'll cancel it. It's fine.
I'll text her now.
Adam: I think that's the right decision anyway, darling.
I think you're quite tired at the minute.
And I'll make us something nice for dinner.
You can come back, put your feet up.
I'm sure she'll understand.
You see 'em all day at work anyway, don't you?
Nicola: No, I know. - Kiss, kiss.
- Mwah. - See you in a bit.
Have a good day, darling.
Wish her a happy birthday from me.
Yeah.
Sorry about that.
Oh.
Woman 1: Oh, here you go.
Adam: We're running out of milk, aren't we?
I don't know. I didn't notice.
Adam: Yeah, we are.
I can't see much in the fridge, bab.
Did you do some shopping?
Nicola: No.
What did you want?
Adam: Don't know. I just don't feel that inspired, that's all.
But I'll write a little list out or something.
I'm sure you will, yeah.
Yeah.
Nicola: I thought you were doing the cooking.
Adam: Yeah, I was gonna, but you do it so much better, don't you?
No, I know.
What do you fancy?
I'm not sure. Are you alright?
I just wanna make sure you're alright.
- I'm fine. - Okay.
- What do you want for tea? - You can tell me anything.
- You know? - I know.
But maybe I'm just hungry.
What do you want for tea?
Um, mm, pasta bake, maybe?
Well, I've got everything in that you should need
for pasta bake. So...
- Perfect. - There we go.
- Going out? - Yeah, going to the gym.
Oh. Really? I just...
I thought I was supposed to be making pasta bake.
Um, well, I won't be that long.
I'm just, I'm in the mood,
so might as well take it while it's here.
You can come with me if you like.
Ah, no, I don't really...
Don't really fancy it today.
Adam: I'm not, I'm not dead happy about the leggings.
- What? - I just... I don't feel like...
I just don't think it's appropriate.
- Appropriate? - Yeah.
I'm not wearing hot pants, Adam. They're leggings.
- Yeah. - I'm completely covered.
I mean, you're just working out, are you?
- Yeah. - So who's this for?
- What? - This, who's this for?
Nicola: This is, this, this is just clothes I've bought,
and you've seen me in before.
Adam: Fine.
You know how I feel. I've said my bit.
So can I go or not?
Well, look, if I go to the gym and I come back
and we've got a massive problem, I'd rather not go.
- Fine. Fine. - Well, no, no, I'm not...
Not gonna go to the gym now because of this.
Just go. Do what you want. I don't give a fuck.
Honestly, just do, do what you want, do what you want.
- Because this has happened. - Do what you like.
Oh, God. Babe, listen.
- Get your gym bag. - No, I'm not going.
Adam.
What is this? Like...
I just feel like this is for somebody else.
Oh, my God, right. So you think I'm cheating.
- Don't put that on me. - Um...
I don't necessarily think you're cheating, I just think
you probably like the attention of other guys.
I don't talk to them.
I don't.
Why are you being so funny with me? I don't get it.
I just feel weird, feel like I can sense a weird energy
from you, and I'm just... I don't know...
I'm not being weird, I'm being...
normal.
It just...
It just worries me, you know?
- I just love you so much. - Yeah, I know.
Good morning.
Nicola: Thanks.
Adam: How you feeling?
- Yeah, fine. - You sleep okay?
Mm-hmm.
I, I owe you an apology.
I'm sorry.
I, I don't feel like
I've given you enough recently,
and, and that's on me.
Adam: I know my jealousy gets the better of me,
and I need to deal with it.
