The Secret

Don't go to Cardiff.
We agreed that it was just sex.
I've got a hospital appointment tomorrow with the mask doctor.
He thinks he's going to be able to get it off, so This is someone I saw briefly when I were a little kid - me dad.
Why is it so heavy? Because of the weight.
I had a really good shag, thanks.
And I'd really like to do it again.
I'm not even vaguely joining your gang.
Yesyouare.
Argh! What's going on? You looked like you needed to wake up.
PHONE RINGS Hello? Hi, it's me.
H-hi, Nicki.
Are you all right? How's it going? Great, thanks.
Me and the boy are going to stay another night, if that's OK.
Hiya, Nicki.
Is that Jenny? Y-yeah.
She's round early, isn't she? Tell me about it.
Oh, is she being a total nightmare? Yeah.
Oh, be patient with her.
I know she's hard work, but deep down, she's really gorgeous.
I'll see you tomorrow, then.
Kiss Sanjeev for us.
Yeah.
Give Jenny one for me.
Will do.
THEME MUSIC I just got back from hospital.
Tada! Sorry.
They managed to prise my mask off.
Isn't it great? Do you know what's the best part about Nicki staying away longer in Cardiff? Smoking ban's lifted for another 24 hours.
Ooh! Let's have a wake-up joint.
Nicely, nicely, Vincent Pricely.
Shall I cook us some Corn Flakes? Oh, thanks.
How do you take them? Milk, bowl, spoon.
MESSAGE ALERT BEEPS Oh! Felix.
I should go.
Baby Jenny needs changing.
Do you think Felix suspects? Suspects what? Well, this.
Me and you.
Oh, no.
He don't suspect.
He knows.
He knows?! I told him.
Just like that? You weren't gonna mention it to me first? (LAUGHS) You already know.
What did he say? You know, I'm not sure he were even listening.
Jenny, this is really important.
Does Felix know or not? Well, when I told him he were playing Junior Decimator on his Xbox, maybe he weren't listening.
Maybe he don't know.
Well, please don't tell him again.
This has to be our secret.
Secrets can be a gateway to abuse.
You and me are the only ones abusing ourselves here.
So we have to keep stum, OK? So who are we gonna tell? No-one! It's the sort of secret you have to keep secret.
Aw, that's a shame, really.
It's a really juicy bit of gossip, innit? Be that as it may, we don't want to upset Felix or Nicki.
So let's just have an affair behind their backs.
What they can't see behind their backs can't hurt them in front of them.
What if I talk in my sleep? Do you talk in your sleep? I don't know.
Well, if I do, I sleep through it.
Jenny, promise you'll tell no-one.
I promise.
Oh, God.
You talking about abusing ourselves has turned me right back on.
Before I go, do you want to quickly watch me flick meself off? I'll just grab a coffee.
The scars will take a week or so to fade.
But the main thing is I can be myself again.
Sorry.

(LAUGHS) Weight of sticky black.
Busted this obstetrician from Osbaldeston.
Ta.
Sowho have you been shagging? No-one.
I can tell you're lying cos you're blushing.

But get her in the bedroom, suddenly she's Stephen Hawking.
I don't mean to imply she's in any way disabled.
She's quite the opposite.

Sounds like she has your bad bone in her body most of the time.
Look, I'm only telling you because I know I can completely trust you.
Nothing you have said will be used in evidence against you.
