don't you?

Is reroute the alarm

to the emergency power system.

Otherwise you're gonna have this all night.

You'll be in a right pickle.

So, where's your basement, kid?

Which one is it?

You don't remember, do you?

(CLANGING)

(MARK) You won't start something

when you see Shelley?

- Of course I'm not.

- You are, aren't you?

Promise me you won't.

- Charlie.

- I promise.

(BOB) Cor.

Stinks, doesn't it?

(JAKE) Well, you let me know

if you need anything, yeah?

(BOB MUMBLING)

(DOOR CLOSES)

Hmm.

(BOB HUMS)

Eh.

Hello.

(CLATTERING)

Hello?

Someone down here?

Mm-hm.

(HUMS)

Hmm.

- What...?

- Easy, Granddad.

I could hear you upstairs.

I think you might be looking for that.

All right?

Granddad?

(MUMBLES)

Here we go.

Ah. Let's have a look here.

(CLATTERING)

(ROCK MUSIC OVER RADIO)

(WOMEN CHATTERING)

- Why don't we just move in here?

- So, who gets the couch?

- Uh, I'm getting it.

- How do you know?

I chose it. Charlie doesn't have anywhere

to put it. He doesn't like it anyway.

He has nowhere to put it

because you kicked him out.

Do you wanna start

bringing some stuff down?

- No. I'm very happy helping you up here.

- 'Cause you're really helping, aren't you?

Well, hello. Who's this little guy?

I like it, put it in there.

- That's the keep box.

SHELLEY:
Yeah.

It's one of the first things

Charlie got me.

- Chris.

- It's cute. It's cute.

If someone had bought me this, it wouldn't

have taken me five years to dump him.

(MUSIC STOPS)

- (WHISPERS) Shell.

- (MARK) I'll take that.

- (WHISPERS) Awkward.

- Yeah. Awkward, buddy, yeah.

- You might wanna mind your business.

- (MARK) Leave it, Charlie. Leave it.

- Yeah, don't stop on my account.

- Charlie, what are you doing here?

- What am I...?

- (SHELLEY) You shouldn't be here.

I left a message

telling you what time I was coming.

So you wanted me to see

all of this, then, did you?

Charlie, what do you want?

I wanna know what happened to us.

That's what I want.

Charlie, now is not the time.

I don't care that everyone else is here.

I wanna know why we're splitting up.

I wanna know why we're standing here

with our stuff in boxes...

I meant, what do you want from storage?

(JAKE CHUCKLES)

What?

(JAKE) You are having a f***ing laugh.

(MELANCHOLY ROCK MUSIC

OVER RADIO)

StaY-

Oh, you can't be...

(SIGHS)

I hate my life. I do.

Gotta get a new job.

This is just f***ing ridiculous.

(WHISPERS)

Absolutely f***ing ridiculous.

And I deal with absolute muppets.

Honestly.

Work in a storage warehouse.

What a ridiculous place to work.

Looking after people's stuff.

I mean, what...?

Are you done yet, mate?

I can't hear you.

What the f***?
