Yeah.

I've been thinking about

that kind of stuff myself.

You know, the future, 25 years.

You can actually see yourself

that far ahead?

Aye.

- Doing what?

- Well, all the usual stuff.

Working hard, bringing up a family.

Going to see Hibs.

Is that not what everybody wants?

You sound like my dad.

What's wrong with that?

We're doing OK, aren't we?

What?

What you on about?

'Course we are.

Daft.

I'd better go.

Please don't go

Stay and make my heart y

You never seem to know the time

When you're with me

You can tell it to the birds

I'll tell the bees

I can't do any more

To get inside your door

And I can't do any more

Please let me inside your door

- You never seem to know the time

- I never seem to know the time

When you're with me

You can tell it to the birds

I'll tell the bees

- You never seem to know the time

Good night, Ally.

Please don't go

I should get my bus.

- We could get a cab.

- I can't afford a cab.

- We could split it.

- That's noble of you.

- I just wanna see you home safe.

- I have to get up early.

If we leave now,

you'll still get five hours.

Don't you mean six?

Five and a half, final offer.

Stay

And make my heart y

Make my heart y

Better get you home safe, then.

- Morningside, please, mate.

- Morningside it is.

- Have you had a nice night, folks?

- We've had a lovely night.

It's about to get a

whole lot better.

Now, five and half hours.

- Have you ever stayed up all night?

- No.

No? Why not try it?

All right, trouble?

Yeah.

Are you OK?

I'm out with Mum today.

- Yeah?

- And your lassie.

It's your big night.

You want to look good.

I'm just not sure

this place is me.

Well, where do you want to go?

I don't know.

Where do you normally go, Yvonne?

- Glasgow.

- That's a bit desperate.

It's a wonder you ever go anywhere.

- I've been to plenty places.

- What, like Spain?

Have you ever fancied seeing

somewhere a bit more exciting?

What, like Glasgow?

No, like China, or Brazil.

I nearly went to India once.

- Really?

- Yep.

Couple of lasses I knew from art school

bought themselves a camper van.

They were gonna drive there,

down through Europe,

then Turkey, into Iran,

Afghanistan, Pakistan.

They wanted me to go with them.

So why didn't you?
