Wreckers

Fly.

Fly.

You're beautiful, are you? Yes, you are.

- That's my boy. - Is that a smile? Is it?

Found it on the beach, walking by.

- Did ya? - Yeah.

- Yeah. Many years in the family. - How long have you had it?

Since I was five.

It's amazing.

You're joking!

My lads said...they do a beautiful dance, fertility dance. And they had babies.

Here you go. I was told to keep it warm.

Well, we should have the results in a couple of weeks.

Brilliant.

Hi.

Hi.

Eh, sorry, my husband is not here. He's...

Trying to build it, eh?

Are you one of his students?

Think the right look, huh?

- Oh, you're Nick! Oh, hi. - So I exist.

Yeah, I know, of course. I just wasn't expecting you, I'm Dawn.

I thought I'd drop by.

Oh, I'll let him know.

Hey, let's make it a surprise.

Oh no, I think I should.

Oh, go on then.

Thanks.

Oh. No, he's gone into a class.

Do you want to...bring your stuff in? Come in.

- It's a bit of a bomb site. - I feel like I'm home

I'll take down my things, shall I?

We had no idea you were coming.

We're not really...set up for guests yet.

Oh, don't bring her too close to the hen hutch. She's not trained yet.

She's a-a reject dog. She was abandoned by her owners.

Reject...

Yeah.

You wanna put up some tar in there.

Hi!

Fucking hell.

Been on a sunbed, then?

I tried to call.

- How the fuck did you know I'd be here? - Dog returns to his shit.

He's not very refined.

So, what do you think?

It's lovely.

- Yeah. - It's lovely.

- It'll be beautiful. - Beautiful, yeah.

Got all you want then?

This is from my family.

It must be hard out there.

You must miss home.

Oh, fuck those glasses.

I know they're here somewhere. We haven't really had the time to...

Shame I was away..

- Oh. It-It was kind of low-key. - Yeah?

- It was only a register office. - How did he behave?

Oh, well. He wasn't found shagging one of my bridemaids in the toilet, were you?

Get back to the chopping, missus.

She's changed you.

- Huh! - You got all posh.

Marriage is a constant process of negotiation.

Yeah-Yeah. We sing in our chains.

How's Sam?

Grand. She's-she's grand.

- And the kid? - Dylan?

Yeah, he-he's a bundle of fun.

Not mine, by a previous.

God, how do they cope with all the coming and going?

They don't.

Thank you.

- Well...cheers. - Cheers.

- Hmm. - Lovely to have you.

So you didn't buy the farm, then?

Ah, it's a wreck.

Tell me.

Your brother's a joke, huh?

Why haven't we seen him?

He's been in the army.

And?

He pushed our Mum down the stairs when he was a teenager.

My God.

Why?

Well, she could be a bit...

a bit verbal.

Still.

I burned my Mum with curling tongs when I was sixteen.

And it wasn't entirely an accident.

She took me to a psychiatrist.

Yeah, well. Our Mum ended up in the hospital.

- David! - Yes.

You hungry?

Yeah? Huh.

Eggs. Orange, then.

Something...

Morels.

You wanna take that back to bed, yeah?

What?

I want a baby.

Be patient.

What's this all about?

- You buggered it in your sleep. - You were sleepwalking.

Oh, shit.

Shit, I haven't done that for a while.

What, bugger a lettuce?

Oh, thanks.

Maybe it's because you're able to relax..

Maybe. Do feel relaxed.

Yeah, don't relax too much.

When we were little...David and his mates, they made me a little obstacle course.

How'd you know? You were asleep! Dawn, what you have to do

- is talk really quietly, don't alarm... - So I sleepwalked into the pond.

Get some breakfast.

I'm all right in here, thanks.

I don't know whether we should've gotten that claim...what we're doin'.

- Carefully, that still has life in it. - What sort of life?

David! My God! David! David!

You...

I can't believe you did that! It's not funny! It's not funny...

So how long is it since you've...been back home?

Well, about six years since I've been back in these parts.

How come you and David haven't been in touch?

Davy was making his way in London... and he got kind of lost, didn't he?

Oh I love this sound. God. Fucking hell!

- Hello, mate! - Hi!

- Back from the dead, eh? - I can fucking sort you out, mate, I'm bigger now.

Now watch out for this one, Dawn.

So you've grafted for Sharon's dad now?

Married her. He's dead...thank Christ.

Don't tell her I said that, eh, Dawn?

- You want one, Nick? - No, I'm good, thanks.

Thank you.

- Here you go. - Here you go.

Thanks. All right, Miss Grate?

These are for you.

- Ohh, ah-ah. - Ah, what

It's not bad. I'll tell you about being bad.

Number two, The Hastings.

Cathy Histen hang herself...

nobody found her for a week...

nobody gave a fuck about Cathy Histen.

Number 3, The Hastings. Jacky Gross,

beat his wife for twenty years.

But he wasn't a bad boy because he did all the

football scores on the radio when he was driving the buses.

Oh, goody, the old Forge! Now that's come up in the world.

They used to have all...cobwebby windows

and have, like, a horses hoof, right down there.

He was having sex with his daughter.

He was. Everybody knew about it.

Homely. Ha-ha, Homely.

She had three kids and she drown herself

and two of them in the quarry pond.

Don't know what happened to the other, poor little sod.

I met an evil spirit in this church, aye, when I was seven.

- You did not. - I did.

Made me what I am.

That and the army.

That'll ward 'em off...the spirits.

Sweet to the sweet. Hm-hm.

Go on.

Have a good day.

We all know the first line, OK?

So when I count to one, two, three, I want you all to come in together.

I want the front line and the back line to come in together, OK?

Tell me.

He's so full-on, he's funny.

You tell me.

One of my students is cutting herself.

How do you know?

She told me.

It's a shame, she's a bright kid.

You have to report it.

I don't want to get her into trouble. With her family, I mean.

- You have to tell someone, David, it's a law. - Yeah.

Social services. Bit of a mixed bag.

She trusts me.

- I can't believe he hasn't brought you here. - We did pass by, once.

- When did David leave? - When he was seventeen.

God, it's a wreck.

- Which one was yours? - The one just around the front.

- How often have you dreamt about it? - I've dreamt about it, all right.

Watch out.

I left some...old tobacco just...here.

Will you look at that. Oh my God, it's been there since I was fifteen.

- Aw, you can tell. - Hmm.

So what was it like...

you and David down on the farm?

Mixed bag.

My grandpa, he had these big shire horses,

they were fucking huge! But really gentle. Hm.

Yeah.

Thanks for, um, for looking after.

I appreciate it.

- Obliged. - No worries.

It's-It's Nick. And Dawn, here.

I'm not blind.

You got a big old star for geography. You know that.

- Hey, stranger! - Wow! Fancy that! How you doin'?
