You're back, then? Yes.
DAVID: She's gone to her
gran's in Liverpool.
Kelly died in Liverpool
and I never knew why she was there.
There's this wedding tomorrow.
I'm allowed to bring someone.
I would love it if it was you.
Yeah, of course.
RUTH: You don't make sense at all.
You've had one proper
relationship in your life
and then that broke up because he
cheated on you
and you are still going
to his new wedding!
When it comes down to it, it'll just
be us. Total commitment. You and me.
See you at the church.
Are you sure?
That you want to marry Liam?
Why wouldn't I marry him?
OK.
Is there any reason I shouldn't?
GABY: Hasn't he called you?
His friend's found him some
work in New York.
He's moving.
But do you think all this is a bit
much, with what he's going through?
I'm sorry.
Forget it all.
I'm still your Gail.
You ever want to just scream?
All the time.
Please be upstanding.
I found a love
For me
Darling, just dive right in
Follow my lead
I found a girl
Beautiful and sweet ♪
Please be seated.
All right? Yeah.
Dearly beloved,
you have come together
into the house of the Church
so that, in the presence of the
Church's minister and the community,
your intention to
enter into marriage
may be strengthened by the Lord
with a sacred seal.
Liam, have you come here
to enter into marriage
without coercion,
freely and wholeheartedly?
I have.
Hannah, have you come here to
enter into marriage
without coercion?
GASPS SOFTLY
..freely and wholeheartedly?
Hannah?
Don't know what you
were dreaming about,
but it sounded very exciting.
I've got Evie up,
haven't done her nappy,
I thought I'd leave that to you.
Your coffee's there.
Don't take too long,
it's your big day.

GENTLE BUBBLING
CONVERSATION IN NEXT ROOM
So, that was Rachel on the phone.
We've been talking about
a bucket list
and she's booked me in
for this morning.
This morning?
Yes.
Oh. Well, that's wonderful.
Are you up for it?
Yes, I think so. We've got time,
haven't we, before the wedding?
She wants you to go with me.
Really?
To take pictures.
Mmm, tea's lovely.
So glad you're back.
Right, I should get dressed.
It says here, loose clothes.
I'm not sure I've got
any of those.
Third drawer down.
Just doing the post.
Hi.
Hey.
You all right?
Yes.
You OK?
Yeah. I just needed some fresh air.
My mum's a bit intense.
I was a bit intense
when my daughter got married.
But you're up for it?
What?
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
I can't wait.
I better get back inside.
People arriving.
Did you know, even then?
Know what?
That it was wrong.
It wasn't wrong.
I loved it!
And I loved you.
So, what happened?
You like things clear.
But life exists in the vague, David,
in the dark places inside us
we don't want to think about.
Well, I'm certainly in
a dark place now.
You want to hurt me,
get rid of me.
Fine, I deserve it.
Yeah, that's right.
But she doesn't.
Whatever you're thinking
of doing today
..don't.
RUTH: Oh, it doesn't fit.
Oh, come on, you're not
that much bigger than me.
No, I'm smaller!
I'll buy something this morning.
You can drop me off
on the way to your thing.
What thing?
Here.
They meet every Saturday morning.
I checked online.
I put it in the drawer.
I know. I took it out, had a look.
Oh, Maya, have you got
any earrings I could?
So, I am hoping to pull tonight.
I beg your pardon?
I'm hoping there'll be some
eligible young man at the wedding.
You've just got out of hospital.
Exactly! I'll never be more
sane than I am right now.
Well, you can't bring him back here.
And don't get pregnant.
SHE SCOFFS No chance.
I've got the implant
and I'm taking the pill.
Not sure you're supposed to double
up, but I'm not taking any risks.
Can you revoke a wedding invitation?
No, you can't do that.
I want you to be there instead.
I haven't properly
told you but I was
I'm sorry stressing even before
she was coming. Any other time.
Yeah, OK.
Are you going to that meeting today?
How does everybody know?
I saw it on the side. You should.
You owe me, I reckon.
All right, yes, if I have to.
Maya, it's early.
You don't need to go yet.
Yeah, I do.
It's going to take time
I know!
Mum, she needs to sleep. CRYING
Just put her down,
shut the door and leave.
The whole point was that
It seems a bit mean to just
abandon her.
She's a baby. Is it too early to
open a bottle of Champagne?
Yes. I don't want to be
pissed walking down the aisle.
Ooh!
LAUGHS Too late!
Maya, how are you getting on?
Got hours. No. It takes
No, it takes about ten minutes.
The only reason I'm here is because
the other option
is being at home with my mum
and, as we talked about,
mums are really fucking annoying.
What's your name again?
Gavin. Oh, don't be so silly.
I'm not.
I've told you my name three times
and you can't be bothered to
remember it, so what's the point?
Gavin.
Text me if you need anything.
Why? Where are you going?
Kitchen.
GROANS
You just need to spend
some time with her.
I don't.
Now, can we get a move on?
I need Rose to get on to
the real star of the show.
Oh, God. What?
I don't want to look at it.
Look, there's curtains.
What are you doing?
Put them back, please.
Henry?
That's right.
And this is your wife?
I was told it was a lesson for one.
She's just here to watch.
I'm interested in learning
with a professional.
OK. Please.
You can sit there.
So, you have danced before?
Er, no. So why now?
Because it's strange. Your daughter
called first thing in the morning,
booked one lesson
I mentioned it to her yesterday
and she was being impulsive.
But, yes, I've watched people doing
it and, you know, carpe diem.
Try everything once,
except incest and folk dancing.
Incest? It's a saying.
You shouldn't try incest. No,
exactly. I was just He's dying.
He's got five months to live and
this was on his list.
In that case, we should start.
Now, if you feel ill, you tell me,
cos I have a rule -
when I'm teaching, no-one dies.
CONVERSATION FADES
I'm Belle,
and I don't know
if I'm an alcoholic.
My sister thinks I am, but she's
got so many issues of her own.
Anyway, her and her
daughter don't get along
but the one thing they agree
about is that I drink too much.
I mean, probably
not as much as a lot of you!
I don't know why I do it.
I'm just worried about not
being fun enough.
And that makes me
I nearly went into a
job interview very drunk.
It was only because
DOOR OPENS
Sorry. No worries. Come join us.
Please, carry on.
Right, well, I was saying,
at this interview,
someone actually stopped me
going into Oh
Hello.
I thought this was
supposed to be anonymous.
Yes, better. Really? Yes.
Let's go again.
Er, actually, can I have a moment?
Actually, I think you should
dance with your wife.
Oh, no, no, I'm just
I'm just watching.
But you're here. Please.
Er, no, we agreed
You don't want to dance
with your wife?
Why not? She's beautiful.
It's up to you.
Yes. Come here now. Come on.
Have you danced before?
Funny you should ask that!
Er, not like this.
It's OK. But you've been watching,
you've seen the steps.
He will lead you
and you just need to follow him, OK?
ROMANTIC WALTZ
And one, two, three
Sorry. Oh!
It's fine, it's fine.
GAIL LAUGHS
No, no. No, no.
It's just
Sorry.
No, no. You're not
You're just
Sorry. Right. Not working.
OK. You HAVE to be led by him, OK?
He is in charge. You're trying to
tell him what to do,
but he is leading.
Yeah. No. I'm sorry It's OK.
You can have another go, OK?
No, actually, I think
that's enough. Thank you.
You want to stop? Yes, I do.
Because that's done, isn't it?
Off the list.
Good to meet you.
Thank you.
Gail, I'll see you outside.
DOOR CLOSES
It's hard. Yeah, takes practice.
Living with someone who's dying.
Sorry.
Crashing your first meeting,
surprising you like that.
Not ideal.
Got stuck in traffic, bloody buses.
I mean, good for the environment
but nightmare when you're late.
I didn't know you were
Oh, yeah, after the divorce,
been up and down.
But you were drinking.
Well, exactly. I was using it
to run from my problems.
So, last week, I started here again.
I think it really helps.
Well, that's nice
but I don't think it's right for me.
I mean, you're all
broken livers, broken families.
I haven't got those
sort of problems.
Really? Yes.
I mean, some of them are
really messed up!
Everybody's messed up in
some way, don't you think?
Yes, I suppose
No, actually.
I don't think that.
Mess is laziness. Mostly.
I won't be coming again.
Nice to see you. Do you want to get
a coffee? Bit of cake?
I never felt like we got it right.
You want a date?
No. Just cake, really.
You're right.
We tried, it didn't work.
I've got to drive to a wedding.
Late already.
Good to see you.
Well, you've got my number.
Don't think so.
PHONE CHIMES
Thank you!
No problem.
As you said, you can cross it
off the list, at least.
Oh! We didn't pick up your suit.
Oh, it doesn't matter,
we've got time.
All right?
Robert told me I was proud.
Did he?
He said that's why I left work
when I did.
Why I struggle to hear
what you're saying to me.
Well, you've got a
lot to be proud of
I honestly don't feel
I want to change who I am.
Yes, we've talked about that.
Shall we head off?
Gail, it's not going to work.
You want to lead.
That's you. Oh, come on,
I didn't know what I was doing.
You think I didn't
smell the weed last night?
Hear you talking
to that girl downstairs?
You've been telling me you
don't like how I am with you.
You said, when you were away,
you felt lighter.
That was when you felt free.
Well, all right.
I accept all of that.
Yes, I felt those things
but I promised you
when we married that I
I'm releasing you from that promise.
No blame.
No-one's fault.
We've grown apart.
We can stay in touch,
meet up from time to time,
but you're going through
a process, and I understand.
But I can't think of much worse
than spending the last few months
of my life trying every day
to figure you out.
Henry
You can't pretend it's working.
We had 50 years.
Not so bad.
No.
I'll call Rachel.
I'm sure she won't mind me
staying for a while
while we sort things out.
Yes, all right.
And perhaps it'll be
good to see you move on.
Maybe some brand-new man
will turn up, looking great,
who loves you like this.
But that won't
happen while I'm around.
I'm sorry.
Yeah.
We should We should go.
Got to collect your suit
No, I'm not going to the wedding.
Besides, not your job any more,
is it, doing things for me?
Maybe you're right about that.
Maybe it never was.
Maya, get in your dress.
I forgot my shoes.
The flat shoes.
They're in my bedroom.
When do we get the thing?
The what?
The thing I hold, the flowers.
The posy? No, but seriously,
what's it really called?
They're delivering them in
about 20 minutes?
How big is it?
How big? I've no idea.
OK. Be back in a second.
DOOR OPENS
Shit.
Oh, my God. Shut up!
You look beautiful.
I said shut up.
Maya, you look amazing.
Really.
Still talking! Maya!
I'm saying you look good.
What?
No, I don't.
Yes, I mean, you've got hips!
Who knew?
You couldn't just
SHE SIGHS
Maya
Maya, please,
I'm only saying good things.
Don't come. What?
Don't come to the wedding.
Why not?
You haven't fucking earned it.
What?

EXCITED CHATTER
Has anybody seen me shoes?
I can't find me shoes.
Oh!
Yes.

See you later.
Thanks for coming. Hiya. All right?
STRING QUARTET PLAYS
Thank you.
Hah!
Hey.
You're early.
It said two.
Well, two for two-thirty.
Oh, excellent,
you've already got a drink.
That is why you're here.
I need a wingman.
"Wingman"?
Well, Julia can't drink, can she?
So I need someone who can
keep up. Loving the dress.
Wow.
I wanted to say I'm sorry.
About what happened that night.
Oh, don't worry.
You're under a lot of stress,
I know, so
You get the money?
Came through this morning.
Good.
Thank you.
Anyway, look, I hope it
I hope it makes
things easier for you.
And let us know
if you ever need any more.
Not a problem. All right?
Sorry, could you come and?
Ah, yes.
Needed. Sorry.
Erm, well, have fun.
Mingle.
I'll see you later.
Bride or groom? Groom.
Ah! And how do you know him?
I'm his ex-wife.
SHE LAUGHS Gosh. Good on you.
How do you know them?
Oh, I invested in Julia's business.
I've known her for ever.
My daughter's a bridesmaid today,
which she's very excited about.
What concerns me is
how well she walks in heels.
Like a duck to water.
She's only 16.
Right.
But it's lovely. I mean
I mean, she looks beautiful.
But, yes. Well done, you.
He can't be that awful
if you're here.
He, erm
What's her name?
Your daughter. Grace.
And you're proud of her?
Oh, very.
Big day.
LAUGHTER ECHOES
Excuse me.
Sorry. Hold this. Oh!
I forgot.
I need to be somewhere else.
SHE SIGHS
Your ring.
I've been wearing it
on and off ever since we divorced.
On a different finger, but
Well, I'm not sure why.
But the thing is, Neil,
I don't know what happened
but, literally, 20 seconds ago,
I completely fell out
of love with you.
BELLE GASPS
Right. Yes.
I know. It's amazing.
Well, to be honest, I didn't realise
you were still in love
You did.
Oh, shit.
You're Andy, aren't you?
Yeah. Yeah. Educated guess.
Not being rude,
but you're on your own
and, well, look at you.
You're Hannah's mum.
That's right.
Hello. ANDY LAUGHS
How is she?
Well, she looks like
she might be sick.
Do you want me to take her?
Oh, sorry, I thought you were
talking about the bride.
Now you mention it,
if you could just take her for me.
Yeah, sure, sure.
There you go. There you are.
Hey-hey-hey.
I'm petrified she's going
to have an accident, actually.
The baby, I mean.
So, I hear you're leaving? Er, yes.
Yeah. My ex-husband
waited around for a few years
but got bored in the end.
It's what men do, in't it?
No, no, that's not
I'm still going to send money back.
I'll make more money over there,
I'm not leaving Evie, I just
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, all right.
Come on, hand her back.
Seems like it's my job to be
the childminder today.
Come on, darling.
Ohh If you need a hand?
No, I'm fine, thanks, I can manage.
There you go, darling, come on.
Hiya.
Hello.
I was hoping you'd be here.
How are you feeling?
You know, nervous. I'm sure.
Just don't
What?
I'll be back.
Hiya.
I'm Ruth.
Wendy. Mother of the bride. Oh!
I'm Maya's mum.
We live opposite Hannah.
Hello, Evie.
Maya's mum? Right.
That makes sense.
EVIE COUGHS Ooh.
Sorry, do you think you could just
hold her for a little bit?
Yeah. Thank you.
Pleasure. Thank you.
Hello!
Oh, it's been a long time
since I held a baby.
Right
RINGING
David!
Thank God. Where are you?
Are you here? No.
What? Why not?
I'm at your gran's.
She's just made me
a lovely cup of tea.
You
Why? Why are you there?
Why, where are you?
At the church, like you said.
Oh, crossed wires.
Mina's amazing.
We're getting on really well.
She's been telling me
all about her life
and I think that, in a minute,
I'm going to tell
her all about mine.
I don't
You know, about what I've been
doing these past few weeks.
What's happened.
What?
She may be disappointed
in your behaviour.
What you've done to me.
Oh, my God.
David
David, we need to talk.
But there's been enough lying.
David
It's my story and I'm
allowed to tell it.
No. No. Because, please, don't.
She won't understand.
I'll make sure she does.
LINE GOES DEAD
DAVID: I'm sorry I can't take your
call at the moment but
I met Saira when I was staying in a
flat that my wife had rented.
And my wife had died
a few weeks beforehand.
I'm sorry. PHONE CHIMES
Um It was an accident.
But, yes, when I met Saira,
I liked her a lot.
PHONE CHIMES,
HE CLEARS HIS THROA
Well, when I returned to university,
it turned out that she
PHONE CHIMES TWICE
You're in demand.
Yes. Let me just turn it off.
PHONE BEEPS
You were saying
about the university?
Yes. It turned out that she
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.
I really think
I should respond to these.
Erm, do you mind if
I step outside for a moment?
Is he hot?
Very.
Right, well, why don't you just
tell him about me, then,
and maybe we can just all?
If I tell him, he'll leave.
I've been honest with you
from the very beginning.
I never, never want to live
without him.
Or you.
You want all this on camera? Fine!
Here it is.
I'm in love with two people
the same amount at the same time.
And I hate it.
I hate what it's doing to you.
And him.
Can you stop now, please?
Oh, my God. No. Sorry.
I can't do that. What?
They'll all be watching,
taking photos Don't be stupid!
All you have to do I'm not
being stupid, you don't know
Can you not argue, please?
Just do whatever you need to
I don't think anyone will care
if you do it without me.
You have to.
OK.
Oh, thank God!
What? She doesn't want to do it.
What are you doing here?
What do you mean,
she doesn't want to do it?
She's embarrassed about
how she looks. Why?
Why on Earth would you be
embarrassed? You look amazing!
MAYA SIGHS
SHE SIGHS I'm here
because I had something to say
..to you. What?
You kicked down a
door to help Hannah and her baby.
You hate that dress but you knew it
was important to her,
so you wore it anyway.
Your mum has let you down.
I have let you down and, somehow,
through all that,
you've always done the right thing.
And that's
Well, I I don't understand
how you do that.
You're the best person I know.
Are you drunk?
Not a drop.
I am here to say I am proud of you.
Don't you dare be embarrassed, OK?
Anyone judges you,
they can speak to me.
What about Neil?
I don't care about Neil.
Please be upstanding.
Right, then.
Good luck, all!
Hey, you all right?
Yeah.
OK.
I found a love
For me
Darling, just dive right in
Follow my lead
I found a girl
Don't fuck it up.
We were just kids when
we fell in love
I don't know what it was ♪
Can I talk to you for a second?
I It's just
seeing you last night
and again this morning,
I wondered whether you weren't sure.
And if you're not, I promise you,
you don't have to get married.
It's too late.
It's not.
CONGREGATION MURMURS
Where is she?
There's 100 people in there,
literally everyone I know,
and all that money
And Liam. Oh, God, Liam.
Do you love him? No.
God, no.
But how am I supposed to?
Tell me if you want it to stop
and I'll sort it out. Just tell me.
I want it to stop.
All right, then.
Right, then.
So what's the plan?
Yes. Well, there's a few
things to do, isn't there?
And the problem is, they all
need to happen at the same time.
What's happening?
They're all waiting.
The bride's not sure
she wants to marry him.
Oh, really?
Don't, then.
Really? Yeah. Worst thing
you can do. She needs a lift.
You want to go home?
Is that all right?
Absolutely.
Erm
What about Evie?
And Liam?
PHONE CHIMES
Excuse me, your honour.
Hannah wants to talk to you.
What about?
What's going on?
He won't be a minute. Come on.
PHONE CHIMES
Needs changing.
Oh, no, really?
What, you want me to do it?
No, no, no, I'll go, it's fine.
Thanks.
Will someone tell me
what's going on?
Thank you.
Can you put her in the car?
Yeah. Sure.
Wait. Wait, stop.
What's happening? I'm so sorry.
I made a mistake.
It's OK, it's nerves.
Just come back inside and
You're going to make
a great husband.
But not today.
Hannah, just stop, OK?
We wanted to do the right thing
for Evie
and it all sort of fell into place.
But if we don't honestly
love each other,
we're just letting her down, right?
You want to be with him. With Andy.
You've always liked him and
Liam, I'm not sure
I want to be with anyone.
Please, can we stop?
What about all? Please.
All right, just Just slow down.
You're nervous, which I get.
You know, it's a big thing, and
I don't know what they've
been saying to you
but just take a breath, yes?
Just calm down. No, I'm not nervous.
I'm not worked up.
I don't need you to calm me down,
I don't need you to talk me down,
I need you to listen.
It's not about them.
This is me.
Me.
Liam, I'm so sorry
..I just don't want to do this.
OK.
I'm sorry. I've got to go.
GAIL: We all know there are good
days and there are hard days.
I suspect, for them both, this
is going to be one of the worst.
They made promises,
they set all this up
..and imagined a future together.
And suddenly, in a moment,
their whole life is now unknown.
But despite that,
it's the right thing to do,
because you mustn't live a lie.
And we only live once and to waste
that time with the wrong person,
just because you feel you should,
when you've tried your best
and done everything
you can to make it work
..well, maybe it's
better to suffer that hard day,
to be honest at last and
accept that,
sometimes, we have to move on.
It's disappointing, I know,
but, I promise, it's right.
So, just go home,
enjoy the rest of your day.
Drop them a line, email, whatever.
Tell them not to worry,
that you love them
and that these things happen.
Then it'll be fine.
OK, thank you, thank you.
Cheers. Thank you.
I'm sorry.
For what?
Everything.
I can't promise it's going to
be better all the time.
It fact, it almost certainly
won't be, but
..I'll try.
I'll really try.
OK.
BELLE: So, who's Andy?
Evie's dad. We had a one-night stand
and that was it.
Then he appeared again recently
and yeah.
He's really good looking.
Really? Yeah, very.
Yeah, but that's not what it's
Oh, my God!
That's him! At the bus stop.
Back there.
Stop! Stop!
He must be on that bus.
Do you want to speak to him? Yes.
Right, then. What?
TYRES SCREECH
ENGINE ROARS
Maya, what's happened to your aunt?
I'm not sure. You know,
I realised something today -
maybe I don't always need to be
quite so in control.
HORN BLARES
It's stopping. Stop! Stop!
Baby! I need the baby!
Won't be a moment. For what?
I've lost someone.
Hi, there.
Just need to find my card.
Just sit there for a second.
Oh! Oh, no.
Oh, no!
Oh, my God.
Hey.
I'm really sorry, mate. Yeah.
Thanks. It's fine.
Not quite the day you had planned.
Hi.
I'm meeting some people in the pub.
Do you want to come?
Cos if I were you,
in this situation,
I'd get completely off my face.
I, erm
Yeah.
Yeah. Why not?
I don't have my wallet.
Don't worry, I'll treat you.
Nice bus. Thanks.
Blue seats,
little windows that open.
What are you doing here?
I didn't get married.
We broke up.
And then Belle was giving me
a lift, and we saw you
and I thought,
if I feel a thing
..I should say it.
And that thing is,
I kind of like you, Andy.
"Kind of"? A lot.
"Kind of a lot"?
Yeah.
And I don't know if you
feel the same but, if you did,
I wouldn't want you
moving in or proposing.
I don't want you to
buy me flowers or dinner
or get a car and try
to give me lifts everywhere.
That's lucky,
cos I can't afford a car.
But the thing is, I don't know
what you feel about all of this.
About me.
Is that dress comfortable?
I can hardly breathe.
Well, I kind of like you a lot too.
Were you there when she died?
Yeah.
I promised her
that I'd never tell you,
but then I had no-one to talk to.
I couldn't grieve,
I couldn't go to the funeral.
And then you were
just as she said you were.
I went to that flat by the water
because it's where we used
to go together,
and I missed her.
And when you were there
..I realised it was a way
that I could get close to her.
I'm sorry for today.
It was cruel.
Yeah.
I never meant to hurt you, David.
Ever since she died, I've had
no idea where to scatter the ashes.
Now I understand why.
I didn't know who she was.
I'd like to find out, though.
Yeah. Me too.
LAUGHTER AND CHATTER
Ah! Thanks for coming.
I've got a job for you.
You said you liked cake.
It's a mess, but, erm, maybe mess
isn't such a bad thing.
I thought you could help me eat it.
All of it?
I'm not being literal, Dominic.
A gesture.
Right, yeah. I'm saying, will you
stop here for a bit?
I'll make some tea
and we could have another go.
Talk.
OK.
Yeah, I'd like that.
And if all goes well, you know,
we could have sex afterwards?
Yeah.
I'd like that too.
DOOR OPENS
Hi.
I'm Henry.
Gail.
Pleased to meet you.
Did I miss the wedding?
It didn't happen.
Oh.
Well, the thing was,
I had to buy a new suit.
I'd been at my daughter's house
and seen my grandson in the garden.
And he looked
..full of life, you know?
Everything he did felt
new and exciting.
And it just made me remember
something someone tried to tell me,
that, maybe,
sometimes,
pride can get in the way,
that you're never too old for a new
start. Yes.
So I got my daughter
to give me a lift here.
Look
..I know we've only just met
but I was wondering
..will you take
a chance on a stranger?
I'm not asking to
move in or anything.
Just go for a drink.
I'm starting again, you see.
Trying new things.
And to spend the last five months
of my life trying to work you out
..I can't think of anything better.
"New things"?
Yes.
Join me by this moon

So, that was Rachel on the phone.
We've been talking about
a bucket list
and she's booked me in
for this morning.
This morning?
Yes.
Oh. Well, that's wonderful.
Are you up for it?
Yes, I think so. We've got time,
haven't we, before the wedding?
She wants you to go with me.
Really?
To take pictures.
Mmm, tea's lovely.
So glad you're back.
Right, I should get dressed.
It says here, loose clothes.
I'm not sure I've got
any of those.
Third drawer down.
Just doing the post.
Hi.
Hey.
You all right?
Yes.
You OK?
Yeah. I just needed some fresh air.
My mum's a bit intense.
I was a bit intense
when my daughter got married.
But you're up for it?
What?
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
I can't wait.
I better get back inside.
People arriving.
Did you know, even then?
Know what?
That it was wrong.
It wasn't wrong.
I loved it!
And I loved you.
So, what happened?
You like things clear.
But life exists in the vague, David,
in the dark places inside us
we don't want to think about.
Well, I'm certainly in
a dark place now.
You want to hurt me,
get rid of me.
Fine, I deserve it.
Yeah, that's right.
But she doesn't.
Whatever you're thinking
of doing today
..don't.
RUTH: Oh, it doesn't fit.
Oh, come on, you're not
that much bigger than me.
No, I'm smaller!
I'll buy something this morning.
You can drop me off
on the way to your thing.
What thing?
Here.
They meet every Saturday morning.
I checked online.
I put it in the drawer.
I know. I took it out, had a look.
Oh, Maya, have you got
any earrings I could?
So, I am hoping to pull tonight.
I beg your pardon?
I'm hoping there'll be some
eligible young man at the wedding.
You've just got out of hospital.
Exactly! I'll never be more
sane than I am right now.
Well, you can't bring him back here.
And don't get pregnant.
SHE SCOFFS No chance.
I've got the implant
and I'm taking the pill.
Not sure you're supposed to double
up, but I'm not taking any risks.
Can you revoke a wedding invitation?
No, you can't do that.
I want you to be there instead.
I haven't properly
told you but I was
I'm sorry stressing even before
she was coming. Any other time.
Yeah, OK.
Are you going to that meeting today?
How does everybody know?
I saw it on the side. You should.
You owe me, I reckon.
All right, yes, if I have to.
Maya, it's early.
You don't need to go yet.
Yeah, I do.
It's going to take time
I know!
Mum, she needs to sleep. CRYING
Just put her down,
shut the door and leave.
The whole point was that
It seems a bit mean to just
abandon her.
She's a baby. Is it too early to
open a bottle of Champagne?
Yes. I don't want to be
pissed walking down the aisle.
Ooh!
LAUGHS Too late!
Maya, how are you getting on?
Got hours. No. It takes
No, it takes about ten minutes.
The only reason I'm here is because
the other option
is being at home with my mum
and, as we talked about,
mums are really fucking annoying.
What's your name again?
Gavin. Oh, don't be so silly.
I'm not.
I've told you my name three times
and you can't be bothered to
remember it, so what's the point?
Gavin.
Text me if you need anything.
Why? Where are you going?
Kitchen.

You just need to spend

I don't.
Now, can we get a move on?

Look, there's curtains.
What are you doing?
Put them back, please.

That's right.
And this is your wife?
I was told it was a lesson for one.
She's just here to watch.
I'm interested in learning
with a professional.
OK. Please.
You can sit there.
So, you have danced before?
Er, no. So why now?
Because it's strange. Your daughter
called first thing in the morning,
booked one lesson
I mentioned it to her yesterday
and she was being impulsive.
But, yes, I've watched people doing
it and, you know, carpe diem.
Try everything once,
except incest and folk dancing.
Incest? It's a saying.
You shouldn't try incest. No,

but nightmare when you're late.
I didn't know you were
Oh, yeah, after the divorce,
been up and down.
But you were drinking.
Well, exactly. I was using it
to run from my problems.
So, last week, I started here again.
I think it really helps.
Well, that's nice
but I don't think it's right for me.
I mean, you're all
broken livers, broken families.
I haven't got those
sort of problems.
Really? Yes.
I mean, some of them are
really messed up!
Everybody's messed up in
some way, don't you think?
Yes, I suppose
No, actually.
I don't think that.
Mess is laziness. Mostly.
I won't be coming again.
Nice to see you. Do you want to get
a coffee? Bit of cake?
I never felt like we got it right.
You want a date?
No. Just cake, really.
You're right.
We tried, it didn't work.
I've got to drive to a wedding.
Late already.
Good to see you.
Well, you've got my number.
Don't think so.

No problem.
As you said, you can cross it
off the list, at least.
Oh! We didn't pick up your suit.
Oh, it doesn't matter,
we've got time.
All right?
Robert told me I was proud.
Did he?
He said that's why I left work
when I did.
Why I struggle to hear
what you're saying to me.
Well, you've got a
lot to be proud of
I honestly don't feel
I want to change who I am.
Yes, we've talked about that.
Shall we head off?
Gail, it's not going to work.
You want to lead.
That's you. Oh, come on,
I didn't know what I was doing.
You think I didn't
smell the weed last night?
Hear you talking
to that girl downstairs?
You've been telling me you
don't like how I am with you.
You said, when you were away,
you felt lighter.
That was when you felt free.
Well, all right.
I accept all of that.
Yes, I felt those things
but I promised you
when we married that I
I'm releasing you from that promise.
No blame.
No-one's fault.
We've grown apart.
We can stay in touch,
meet up from time to time,
but you're going through
a process, and I understand.
But I can't think of much worse
than spending the last few months
of my life trying every day
to figure you out.

You can't pretend it's working.
We had 50 years.
Not so bad.
No.
I'll call Rachel.
I'm sure she won't mind me
staying for a while
while we sort things out.
Yes, all right.
And perhaps it'll be
good to see you move on.
Maybe some brand-new man
will turn up, looking great,
who loves you like this.
But that won't
happen while I'm around.
I'm sorry.
Yeah.
We should We should go.
Got to collect your suit
No, I'm not going to the wedding.
Besides, not your job any more,

Maybe you're right about that.
Maybe it never was.

What, you want me to do it?
No, no, no, I'll go, it's fine.
Thanks.
Will someone tell me
what's going on?
Thank you.
Can you put her in the car?
Yeah. Sure.
Wait. Wait, stop.
What's happening? I'm so sorry.
I made a mistake.
It's OK, it's nerves.
Just come back inside and
You're going to make
a great husband.
But not today.
Hannah, just stop, OK?
We wanted to do the right thing
for Evie
and it all sort of fell into place.
But if we don't honestly
love each other,
we're just letting her down, right?
You want to be with him. With Andy.
You've always liked him and
Liam, I'm not sure
I want to be with anyone.
Please, can we stop?
What about all? Please.
All right, just Just slow down.
You're nervous, which I get.
You know, it's a big thing, and
I don't know what they've
been saying to you
but just take a breath, yes?
Just calm down. No, I'm not nervous.
I'm not worked up.
I don't need you to calm me down,
I don't need you to talk me down,
I need you to listen.
It's not about them.
This is me.
Me.
Liam, I'm so sorry
..I just don't want to do this.
OK.
I'm sorry. I've got to go.
GAIL: We all know there are good
days and there are hard days.
I suspect, for them both, this
is going to be one of the worst.
They made promises,
they set all this up
..and imagined a future together.
And suddenly, in a moment,
their whole life is now unknown.
But despite that,
it's the right thing to do,
because you mustn't live a lie.
And we only live once and to waste
that time with the wrong person,
just because you feel you should,
when you've tried your best
and done everything
you can to make it work
..well, maybe it's
better to suffer that hard day,
to be honest at last and
accept that,
sometimes, we have to move on.
It's disappointing, I know,
but, I promise, it's right.
So, just go home,
enjoy the rest of your day.
Drop them a line, email, whatever.
Tell them not to worry,
that you love them
and that these things happen.
Then it'll be fine.
OK, thank you, thank you.
Cheers. Thank you.
I'm sorry.
For what?
Everything.
I can't promise it's going to
be better all the time.
It fact, it almost certainly
won't be, but
..I'll try.
I'll really try.
OK.
BELLE: So, who's Andy?
Evie's dad. We had a one-night stand
and that was it.
Then he appeared again recently
and yeah.
He's really good looking.
Really? Yeah, very.
Yeah, but that's not what it's
Oh, my God!
That's him! At the bus stop.
Back there.
Stop! Stop!
He must be on that bus.
Do you want to speak to him? Yes.
Right, then. What?
TYRES SCREECH
ENGINE ROARS
Maya, what's happened to your aunt?
I'm not sure. You know,
I realised something today -
maybe I don't always need to be
quite so in control.
HORN BLARES
It's stopping. Stop! Stop!
Baby! I need the baby!
Won't be a moment. For what?
I've lost someone.
Hi, there.
Just need to find my card.
Just sit there for a second.
Oh! Oh, no.
Oh, no!
Oh, my God.
Hey.
I'm really sorry, mate. Yeah.
Thanks. It's fine.
Not quite the day you had planned.
Hi.
I'm meeting some people in the pub.
Do you want to come?
Cos if I were you,
in this situation,
I'd get completely off my face.
I, erm
Yeah.
Yeah. Why not?
I don't have my wallet.
Don't worry, I'll treat you.
Nice bus. Thanks.
Blue seats,
little windows that open.
What are you doing here?
I didn't get married.
We broke up.
And then Belle was giving me
a lift, and we saw you
and I thought,
if I feel a thing
..I should say it.
And that thing is,
I kind of like you, Andy.
"Kind of"? A lot.
"Kind of a lot"?
Yeah.
And I don't know if you
feel the same but, if you did,
I wouldn't want you
moving in or proposing.
I don't want you to
buy me flowers or dinner
or get a car and try
to give me lifts everywhere.
That's lucky,
cos I can't afford a car.
But the thing is, I don't know
what you feel about all of this.
About me.
Is that dress comfortable?
I can hardly breathe.
Well, I kind of like you a lot too.
Were you there when she died?
Yeah.
I promised her
that I'd never tell you,
but then I had no-one to talk to.
I couldn't grieve,
I couldn't go to the funeral.
And then you were
just as she said you were.
I went to that flat by the water
because it's where we used
to go together,
and I missed her.
And when you were there
..I realised it was a way
that I could get close to her.
I'm sorry for today.
It was cruel.
Yeah.
I never meant to hurt you, David.
Ever since she died, I've had
no idea where to scatter the ashes.
Now I understand why.
I didn't know who she was.
I'd like to find out, though.
Yeah. Me too.
LAUGHTER AND CHATTER
Ah! Thanks for coming.
I've got a job for you.
You said you liked cake.
It's a mess, but, erm, maybe mess
isn't such a bad thing.
I thought you could help me eat it.
All of it?
I'm not being literal, Dominic.
A gesture.
Right, yeah. I'm saying, will you
stop here for a bit?
I'll make some tea
and we could have another go.
Talk.
OK.
Yeah, I'd like that.
And if all goes well, you know,
we could have sex afterwards?
Yeah.
I'd like that too.
DOOR OPENS
Hi.
I'm Henry.
Gail.
Pleased to meet you.
Did I miss the wedding?
It didn't happen.
Oh.
Well, the thing was,
I had to buy a new suit.
I'd been at my daughter's house
and seen my grandson in the garden.
And he looked
..full of life, you know?
Everything he did felt
new and exciting.
And it just made me remember
something someone tried to tell me,
that, maybe,
sometimes,
pride can get in the way,
that you're never too old for a new
start. Yes.
So I got my daughter
to give me a lift here.
Look
..I know we've only just met
but I was wondering
..will you take
a chance on a stranger?
I'm not asking to
move in or anything.
Just go for a drink.
I'm starting again, you see.
Trying new things.
And to spend the last five months
of my life trying to work you out
..I can't think of anything better.
"New things"?
Yes.
Join me by this moon
LAUGHTER AND CHATTER
Hello.
You two all right?
Erm, you know,
we're working on it.
Come on, then.
Food's from the reception.
There's a lot to eat.
All the stars are out for counting
Out in our world, being again
I'm out and I won't be
counting no lucky stars
Oh, come catch your breath
in your death of cold
Start again, do I know you?
So, if we're into new things,
I suppose I won't need this.
What is it?
Confetti.
From our wedding.
Join me by this moon
if you're free
Twitch and skip at the sound
of a train line
Let me get you that drink.
Oh, the stars are out
for the shining
I'm in
and I won't be outshone again
We can easy be gone again
Come with, we can easy be
gone in the Hallelujah Fountain
It's a hill of silver coins
from you and me
Admit they didn't twinkle, babe
And join me by this moon
if you're free
In the Hallelujah Fountain is
a clutch of withered hopes
And dreams
Let's take a piss in it
On our way to Piccadilly. ♪
