It's not even six o'clock and you're pissed, So, don't give it the holier-than-thou with me.
See, what's happening is you're just trying to start a row so you can storm out and do your drugs.
That's what you're doing, that's what you're doing.
Shut up, Marcella.
Oh, Billy, please, not the drugs! Get off the drugs, Billy.
You and drugs making your dad colour of pig! And he stomp, stomp, stomp.
No more drugs! No more, please, Billy! Come here, don't be upset.
So we're not using the conch? I don't know who this is, I don't even knowwho is this? It's your dad's girlfriend.
Hey, you're all right.
You're going to be all right.
Billy, I am your mother.
And no-one will ever love you as much as I do.
I think that you are brilliant and talented and kind Get to the drugs, will you? You're a wonderful child, but you and Marce in fairness Oh, I knew you wouldn't be able to have a go at the Golden Boy Shush, Marcella.
I'm just saying, that's how it always plays out for me.
I have the conch.
Do you hear me? Mum, Mum, it's fine I have the conch! And I will be heard! I am a damn good mother.
Well, I am more than you two spoiled brats' mother.
I feel like the B story in my own life! You two should be all right by now.
That's it! Not fucking successful or happy, necessarily, but OK.
You don't throw yourself away because life is tough or you're not on Emmerdale.
Oh, you all think you should be happy all the time.
I gave enough time.
And I deserve children who are fecking OK! Do either of you ever think about me? Hm? Oh, not me as in, "Oh, Mum will sort it," but me as a person? With my own hopes and needs and heartaches.
Ahem.
Good evening.
Firstly, uh, I would just like to say what a lovely spread.
Erm Cheers! Uh, Billy? Uh, t-this is weird.
Erm Yeah, I think when you sort of take drugs, it sort of distances us.
I don't feel like you've been there for me.
Erm When you take drugs, you're not a great mate.
Shut up, Simon.
You stayed at Marcella's house last night.
You know, she cried for a whole year when you broke up? That's, uh, my sister, by the way.
Sorry, um, I interrupted.
You were saying something about being a bad friend? Well, first of all, it is physically impossible to cry for a year over someone, so Well, you know, you kind of managed that.
Oh, you did.
You did.
THEY ALL TALK OVER EACH OTHER A moon was rising EVERYBODY SHUT UP! Unless you have the conch! As I was saying, not everyone here has made it through the wilderness like I have.
What's wrong with this fucker? He's on drugs, Dad.
Fucking drugs?! Fucking I can't believe you slept with Simon.
What were you thinking? What's the big deal, for fuck's sake? He's the fricking boyfriend, isn't he? This clown is a fucking junkie! We split up a year ago, Dad.
Not that you'd know.
Well, how would I know? You always tell me things are fine! Well, things are not fine! I thought you were over him.
You worked so hard to get over him.
I thought you finally had your life on track and now Well, we didn't mean for it to happen.
Oh, shut up, Simon! You're a married fucking man! What were you doing round at your ex-girlfriend's house, huh? S-she got kicked out for stealing loo roll from the pub.
Hey, hang on a fucking minute! Why were you stealing toilet paper?! It's just toilet paper, I didn't steal a car.
I just I'm a bit broke.
It's more than a bit broke when you can't even afford to wipe your fucking arse! Uh, ahem, I, on the other hand, have a good job.
Always been an earner, never asked for anything from anyone, unlike old shitty-arse.
Fuck off, Billy.
Fuck off.

Thanks, Nana.
Great gig.
Marce? What, you're going straightaway? Yeah, I mean, it's been the longest day, so I think we need to talk.
I don't want to talk, Simon.
I just want to pretend it never happened.
Why? There's obviously still something there.
Can't deny it.
Right, what you want me say? "Leave your wife.
Let's continue as if nothing's happened"? I mean, we obviously weren't even happy.
Oh.
No, well I don't know.
Simon .
.
I love you.
I love you, too.
No, let me finish! Fucking hell.
I just It feels really liberating to say that and it not be like a bad thing.
I knowjust this isn't right and that's fine now, and even if I end up on my own and I don't have a family and This is just cowardly to try to make this work when .
.
I'd just rather live on my feet than sit on my knees.
Die on your feet than live on your knees? Right.
Well .
.
you know what I mean.
Never been good with details.
Onions is onions.
Well, yeah.
That's it, onions is onions.
I-I don't care.
YouYou do care.
A little bit.
I'm going to go.
Why are we banging on about fucking onions? See you later.
Well, that is huge progress, Marcella.
Yeah, I feel like I've really turned a corner.
One biscuit and I put the packet back in the cupboard.
I feel like some sort of wizard.
And the Simon thing Oh, yeah.
Of course.
Um That feels done.
Dunzo-ed.
And, erm, how are you feeling about tomorrow? SHE TAKES A DEEP BREATH How am I feeling about tomorrow? Well, you know, nobody knows what the future holds and Well, I think I'm just going to try to live a more authentic version of my life, which I am.
Be a bit braver, be more in the present, you know? It's Cos the world's in peril at the moment, when you think about it.
You've got Trump, the rise of the Alt-right, Isis And if you let that stuff in your head, you can end up being like I-I'm talking about the driving test.
Oh.
Yeah.
Probably need to revise, actually.
CAR HORN BEEPS Hey.
Hi.
How are you? Fine, thanks, yeah.
Uh, you? Feeling positive? Yeah.
I think so.
So, um, not everyone passes the first time.
So just relax.

Now let's burn some rubber.
ALARM BLARES Maybe I wasn't as ready as I thought I was.
Maybe I rushed you.
Probably going to need more lessons.
Loads.
Y-you'll need loads.
Like Certainly more than five.
Hopefully less than ten.
Mm, I'd say ten.
We can do ten.
Ten seems I do a package.
# Sometimes I'm in the mood # I want to leave my lonesome home # And sometimes I'm in the mood # I want to hear my milk cow moan # Sometimes I'm in the mood # I want to hit that highway road # But then again
