Right.

Oh, Jean, maybe we could

meet at lunch, have a wee...

- See you, Harry.

- ...celebration.

- Morning, girls.

- Jean.

I've got some great news.

Straight through

to the Scottish Colourists.

I'm sure your brother's lovely.

I'm just not up for small talk.

I wouldn't worry about it.

He's not very chatty either.

I've had a crap day and all I want

is a drink and a laugh.

Yeah, and a drink and a laugh

is all it is.

Now, you can talk or not.

He's not gonna be listening.

He's just gonna be

staring at your tits.

I'm not staying long.

One drink then I'm off.

Well, don't tell me.

Tell your sister.

She wants you to meet her pal.

Another nutcase

from the nurses' home?

- This one's different apparently.

- Different? How?

Well, she's good-looking.

She stays out in Morningside.

She's English.

English?

That's for you.

You celebrating something?

No, just fancy getting drunk.

The thing with tequila, it's not what

you forget, it's what you remember.

- Francine.

- No wonder you're still single.

- Fran.

- Oh, thanks. Cheers, my dears.

- You in?

- I'm in.

Good.

That's boggin'.

Right, Lizzie, up.

Tell us one of your stories.

- OK.

- Drunken storytelling?

- No one's safe.

- OK.

This is the

story of our first teacher

You remember?

Shetland made her jumpers

And the devil made her features

Threw up her hands

when our mums said our names

- I've never seen her do this ever.

- You've never seen her do this?

Embroidered all her stories

with slanderous claims

Whoa!

It's over and done with

It's over and done with

Right, I'm

getting more drinks.

It's over and done with

It's over and done with

It's over and done with

It's over and done with

- Right, you, come on.

- I'll gi' youse a story, aye.

Nice one.

This is the story of

losing my virginity

I held my breath

and the bed held a trinity

People, I'm making no claims

to no mystery

But sometimes I feel like

my sex life's all history

It's over and done with

It's over and done with

It's over and done with

It's over and done with

It's over and done with

It's over and done with

It's over and done with

It's over and done with

I'm not saying these events

didn't touch our lives in any way

But...

They didn't leave the impression

that some people say

- Get over it, Liz.

- Yvonne, you get up. It's your turn.

- I can't. What am I gonna say?

- You'll be fine.

Just tell us anything.

Come on, everybody gets a turn.

This is the story

of watching a man dying

The subject's unpopular

but I don't feel like lying

When I think of it now

I acted like a sinner

I just washed my hands

and I went for my dinner

Washed my hands

and walked away.

It's over and done with
