Hey, well...

I know you don't wanna be here forever.

I got things I wanna do with my life.

When?

You got red on you.

Hello, mate.

This one comes with

a basic digital package.

You've got your lifestyle channels there,

a bit of Trisha.

Er, you've got entertainment.

I don't know what that is.

News. All the basic, er... news...

- channels.

- 'Bizarre events... '

'Coming after me... '

- Shaun.

- I'm with customers.

It's your dad.

He's not my dad,

he's my stepdad.

Philip.

Shaun.

You haven't forgotten about tomorrow?

- No.

- Your bimonthly visit.

No, I haven't forgotten.

You could bring the flowers

you forgot on Mother's Day.

I was gonna.

And not a cheap posy

from a garage forecourt.

I wasn't gonna.

Well, we look forward to

seeing you tomorrow.

OK.

You've got red on you.

- I thought it wasn't a social gathering?

- What?

How comes you're allowed to

speak to your dad?

A, he's not my dad, OK? He's my stepdad.

And B, it was an emergency.

What, like buying your mum some flowers?

Noel, I do not find it difficult

to keep my work and my social life separate.

Shaun, it's Liz for you.

- Hello.

- 'Hello, it's me.'

- Hello.

- 'Did you get my message? '

- Yep.

- 'So it's all OK, then? '

- Yep.

- 'Eight at the place with all the fish?

'Cool, that's great. Just ring me later.'

- Goodbye, Liz.

- 'Bye. Bye, bye, bye.'

Liz from Head Office.

It's nothing to panic about.

Sir? Sir?

Sorry. Erm, they're for my mum.

Mum. "To a wonderful Mum"

or "Supermum"?

- Er... the first one.

- Right.

'... London seems

to have gone completely bonkers... '

- Oh, my God! Shaun!

- Yvonne.

Oooh! How are you doing?

- Surviving.

- Are you living round here?

- Yeah, are you?

- Yeah, I just bought a place.

- Bought?

- I know, bit grown-up, eh?

- Are you still with...?

- Liz.

That's great. Glad somebody made it.

How long's that been now?

- Er, it's three years ago last week.

- Did you do anything special?

- We're going out for a meal tonight.

- Anywhere nice?

Yeah...

Come on!

- Are you gonna thank me, then?

- For what?

Tidying up.

- It doesn't look tidy.

- I had a few beers when I finished.

'Hello, Fulci's. Can you hold, please? '

- Do you want your messages?

- What?

Your mum rang about tomorrow night.

Liz rang about the two of you

eating out tonight.

Then your mum rang back to see

if I wanted to eat her out tonight.
