Come on!

4Real. She didn't do that to herself.

And Buliegh does have

homemade tattoos of his own.

We release, give you a chance

to gather more evidence.

We've all known you a long time, Joe.

We know what's behind this.

This is Marie Dinning all over again.

Think you're the only one round here with

a conscience? Stop being so hard on yourself.

What's all this crap on my desk?

- Who are you?

- It's...

It's a whole new world here, Dad.

Are we gonna get some f***ing work done

round here or what?

Come on, Dad. Let's get you home, eh?

Fix you up a bacon sandwich.

It's good to see you, Lenny.

Flake.

Go on, Dad, get in the car. Chrissie's gonna

come and stay at yours for a little bit.

Why am I wearing old man's clothes?

Come on, Dad.

Let's get you a bacon sandwich.

Is that who I am? Dad?

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you're Dad.

Did you f*** it up?

No. It'll all get sorted.

- It'll all come right.

- Don't f*** it up.

They depend on us.

You f*** up, it should hurt.

When it stops hurting, get out.

- Go and be a window cleaner.

- Come on, Dad.

See you at the party, Joe.

# I wasn't smart

and I lost my heart under Paris skies

# Don't ever be

a heartbroken stranger like me

She likes you. Natalie.

Lily's sister, well, half-sister.

Excuse me. Can I get a red, please?

- Sure thing, Joe.

- Actually and a little Scotch as well.

- Yeah, no problem.

- She's really nice.

- Yes.

- But I'm retired.

Go on. Go on. She's keen, I can tell.

You'd almost be a Fairburn.

I kind of like things the way they are.

Go on. A honeymoon's a holiday.

I like the idea of the honeymoon,

just not the wedding.

# And then I go and spoil it all

# By saying something stupid like I love you

# I can see it in your eyes

# That you despise the same old lies

you heard the night before

# And though it's just a line to you

# To me it's true

and never seemed so right before

# I practise every day

to find some clever lines to say

# To make the meaning come true

- All right, Dominic.

- All right, mate.

Listen, mate...

You know, it's difficult

and I understand how we all have to be,

- you know, grown-up and...

- About...

...young people and sex and whatnot.

Well, thanks, Joe. Can't say I've ever had

a father's permission before.

I don't think I've ever needed it.

Well, let me make my feelings clear.

Joe.

Leave it, Dave. Leave it.

- She's hardly past 15.

- Joe!

I think we have an understanding.

- Get off me!

- I'll tell him I'm sorry.

- Get off!

- Dominic, I'm sorry!

Miriam.

You think you did that for her?

You think that makes you

some kind of great father?

I'm going home.

He's not there any more either.

Moved, retired...
