- Behaving like that in front of...

- He's setting an example to kids...

- I know, it's terrible.

And we're in a place where there's...

It's a bloody heritage place.

- I know. Shh. I know.

- I just cannot...

Maybe you'll feel better

if you have a scone.

- No. No.

- Do you want a scone?

No! They've not been preserved

for hundreds of years

- so that wankers like that...

- Shh. Shh.

...can use them like a bloody toilet!

WOMAN OVER PA:
Tina Read

to the Visitor Information Centre.

Stop telling me to shush.

It's putting me on edge.

Miss Tina Read,

your mother's on the phone.

TINA:
I'm gonna have to go

and see what's wrong.

Yeah.

Wait here, won't you?

I'm not gonna be able to enjoy

the museum if you're in this state.

I'll have to come home, then.

Chris is up there, he's looking at me.

I don't...

Well, no! I'm gonna have...

Well, I'm gonna have to come back, Mum,

'cause I can't leave you in this state.

- Hey, what's up? Oh, come on, what's up?

- (SOBBING)

Hey. What's happened?

- What'd she say?

- (SOBBING) We have to go home.

Why? What, because of her?

Blue John mines tomorrow. Pencil Museum.

I know how much you wanted to see that.

Got some vouchers as well.

Two-for-one restaurant deal.

They expire in a week.

It's now or never.

(ENGINE REVVING)

(CRUNCHING)

(INAUDIBLE)

(INAUDIBLE)

He just stepped out, Chris,

and it wasn't your fault.

(CHRIS SIGHS DEEPLY)

Maybe you're right.

(VOICE TREMBLING) I just feel so

devastated for his family, you know?

- Maybe your mother was right.

- About what?

About everything!

About everything.

- Chris...

- He's ruined the Tram Museum for me now.

Mint me.

What?

You heard me. Mint me.

(BOTH MOANING)

(MOANING CONTINUES)

(MOANING CONTINUES)

"Dear Mum, I'm not coming home. "

"Yorkshire is lovely.

Not like you said at all. "

"They can smile,

and they do sell my pasta sauce. "

"The caravan bed is quite short,

but Chris is a sensitive lover. "

"Hope you can be happy for me.

Love, Tina. "

TINA:
Right, well,

they've only got two spots left.

One by the Dingley Dell

and one by the bogs.

CHRIS:
Um, he's going for Dingley Dell.

Chris, I want Dingley Dell.

I'm gonna get this bloody Dingley Dell.

- Can't we go around it?

- Just hold on, I'm gonna do it.

- Go around them. Go around.

- We'll make it.

- Go that way.

- I will, just wait there, wait...

- Just go around it.

- Okay! Hold on.

Oh, Chris! Don't look at them, Chris.

(GASPS) Oh, I just...

(WHOOPING)

(TYRES SKIDDING)

(BOTH LAUGH)

F*** you!

I am the best. Get in.

- Now, see that?

- Yes.

Plug that into that

little hole over there. Right?

Why?

You don't need to know why. Just do it.
