Eh, Jess, I'm gonna head on.

Do you want my digits?

No, I didn't.

Yeah, you did.

You just asked me what her name was.

Uh, it's fine.

- I didn't want his number anyway.

- Bye.

Well played.

I have me moments.

- The deposit.

- Oh, thank you.

So I guess I'll see you on the 28th, then.

Yeah.

- You're a good egg.

- You, too.

Door opening.

"You're a good egg"?

F***in' a**hole.

Door closing.

Order for McArdle.

Um, just a minute.

Thanks.

There's Mary.

Do you wanna join us?

It's Leona's birthday.

Happy birthday.

So I just came to say that I met a fella.

So I might need that plus one after all.

Oh!

What do you mean "Oh"?

I'm not a f***in' leper, Charlene.

I know. Stop cursin' at me.

Sorry.

So, who is he?

- You don't know him.

- Yeah, well, what's his name?

John.

"John" what?

So, can he come or not?

Yeah. Course.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

See you's.

- See you, Mary.

John Carter? Seriously?

She's fine.

Hey, it's me.

- Hiya.

- So, listen.

I was thinking it could be good for us

to meet John Carter before the weddin'.

Who?

Your boyfriend.

Oh, yeah.

So why don't the two of you's come over

for a beer or somethin' on Saturday?

You can see the new house as well.

- Oh?

What's he do?

Works in a bar.

Where?

- McPhails?

- Mary, the barmen in there are really hot.

Which one is he?

The tall one with short hair.

The one with all the tatts?

No. No tatts.

Look, you probably don't know him.

He keeps to himself.

Anyway, he's workin' Saturday.

Sh*t.

I could still come over.

Ah no. You're all right.

Come here, em...

He's not weird or anything, is he?

- What?

- You know what I mean.

No, he's not weird.

Cool.

It'd be good to meet him anyway.

Maybe next week?

Yeah. I'll say it to him.

Thanks, babes.

The things you need to know

about Charlene.

What kind of man you want?

One that's free to go to a weddin'

on the 28th of March.

- That's it?

- Yeah.

But what kind of men do you like?

I mean, Polish, Irish, what?

- Any.

- Look, in the agency

we have older men for older women, yeah?

But I'll find you a nice boy, OK? Stand up.

Photo.

Now, ready? Smile.

Mmm? A bit more.

A bit more.

Ta-da!

I'm giving you

the famous J-Lo glow.

It's excitin', isn't it?

No.

Any advice?

You're askin' her for advice?

Yes, Mam. She's asking me for advice.

I'm a woman. I've been taken out by men.

A f***in' sniper wouldn't take you out.

I don't remember

gettin' any pearls of wisdom off you.

You're done.

- How do I look?
