Shh.
Just wanted you to have a good time.
Right.
Let's go! What do you think, huh? Of what? Natalie! I told her you were looking to hook up.
Why did you do that? Cause she's a madstab and you're single now! What?! Things getting serious with Dr Luke then? I think it's a bit too soon for that.
What's wrong? I thought you liked him.
I do.
So what's going on? He has a girlfriend.
Sandie, you dirt bird! Aw, I wish I hadn't told you now.
You're grand.
I'm sure you know what you're doing.
What about you? I'm good.
Started counselling today.
Still standing.
I meant the love life.
Oh, right Who is he? Brendan.
From the farm?! No way! Are you going to see him again? Nothing even happened.
I don't have his number.
I know where he works, but So go see him! No harm, Conor, but what have you actually got to lose? Smashed it, girls! If you're lucky you'll get a private dance later.
Now you're talking.
Hey! Hey! Just wanted to say cheers, mate! How's that then? For uploading that video and making me an absolute legend.
Classy bird you got there, Leech.
Here, away home and shag your snake, mate! I'm a snake, I'm a slippery, slippery snake! Where you going? Hello, Tommy, this is Eva here.
I'm a friend of Sheila.
Sheila Callaghan.
I think she'd appreciate it if you could just give her a quick call.
Just to kind of see how she is.
I'll text you her number.
Thanks.
Bye.
So there you are.
Whoah! Yep.
Here I am.
In the men's.
You weren't hiding from me, were you? No.
No.
Just taking a slash.
You know, Leech told me about you and your girlfriend.
Yeah, Natalie.
He shouldn't have opened his mouth.
Maybe we should just forget about it.
No, really! Relax.
You're a free man.
Natalie.
Maybe we should get a drink or something.
Can I help you? Eva! Ah! What the hell are you doing? That's my boyfriend's crotch you've got your skanky hands on.
I thought yous broke up? Is that what he told you? Yeah, I'm really sorry.
I'll make it up to you babe.
Too right, you will! "Babe"? Yous came! Nice turn out, mate.
Yeah, cause he's a celeb now.
I'll get them in.
Here you go.
Ah, you shouldn't have.
So who's this then, Leech? Oh, this is Carly.
So, you'll give us a wee song then, "Carly"? I don't think so.
Don't be a bore.
It's Leech's birthday.
Keep her lit! I don't really think she's comfortable in front of crowds.
Listen, they're only trying to wind you up.
You don't have to.
Yeah.
See you later.
CREAKING OUTSIDE Hello? Hello? Get out! GET OUT! Hold on, what would you have done if I hadn't interrupted? Don't even! Would you have let her go Eva! Full blown Tulisa on you? She scared the crap out of me! Seriously.
I'm just glad you were there to save me.
Anyway, it's Leech's fault.
I told him I wasn't ready for all this.
You hungry? What? D'ya wanna get some food? I thought we were just going to get some skins.
It's not like Leech is gonna miss us.
C'mon.
My treat.
Call that work? The man himself.
Uh I didn't know how else to get in touch.
I hope you don't mind.
I didn't know what to do, y'know.
But uh, I wanted to see you again.
Look, Conor, this This isn't a good place to do this.
I didn't know there was a good place to do this.
My boyfriend runs this place.
I, er I'm sorry I-I didn't realise No, look.
I should have said something.
I didn't realise you'd rock up.
It's OK.
Don't worry about it.
Conor, wait! Look, take my number.
I'm not saying I'm not interested, I just need a bit of warning, that's all.
# When the rain is blowing in your face # And the whole world is on your case # I could offer you a warm embrace # To make you feel my love # When the evening shadows in the stars appear # And there is no one there to dry your tears # I can hold you for a million years # To make you feel love To make you feel my love.
Thanks for letting me come over.
I didn't know where else to go.
You should have called me as soon as you heard them.
I could've had a word with the scumbags.
The thought of them helping themselves to our stuff when I was there You know you can stay here tonight if you want.
If you'd feel safer? Thanks, but I should really be there when the guys get home.
Conor, what are you doing? What's it look like I'm doing? You're supposed to be taking it easy.
Not now, Sandie, OK? What's wrong? Did you see Brendan? Yeah.
And I made a complete idiot of myself.
Conor, I was only trying to help.
Like you were helping when you convinced me to play in that match? What was that all about, huh? Don't start, Leech.
In case you hadn't noticed, some of us are trying to have a good time.
What I've noticed is you making an absolute dick out of yourself trying to get people to like you as usual.
And what, you've got your shit together, have you? Tell me, Leech, what's it like to be a performing monkey? LEECH LAUGHS I mean, you're jealous, is that it? Huh? I mean, cos everyone's here for me and you're not the big man any more? No wonder Justin left you.
Yo.
DJ's asking for Ninja Bags! SHE LAUGHS Yeah, let's go.
What? Sheila sounds like she has more craic than the lot of us put together.
She does.
Just don't get her started on music.
She thinks she knows everything.
Old school, is it? Are you joking? She was listening to Ministry Of Sound on my iPod the other day.
HE LAUGHS Nah, she's cool.

# I could hold you in the night # Till this raging storm had passed # We could lay down and listen # To the rain # Seems we're always on the run # Spinning circles round this pagan sun # But in the cold half-light of morning # What remains? # If I can't make you come back # I can't make you come back This time Holy! Yous were sent eviction notices in the post.
Weeks ago.
What's this? I think we're homeless.
You're going with McCann? It's just so you, Jess.

He said he'd been hearing stories about what I'd been getting up to.
And he's coming up to sort things out.
# Slipping in and out of what you call life # And it plays again and I can see him ending on a pale road # And I died that day # Makes no difference if they're opened or closed # When you shake my hand, I'm a hero, I'm a hero # And I'm dealing Yeah, I'm dealing fine.
