The World's End Page #3

Tell them how you're doing.

You never know, you might

make it to the end this time.

And Andy's definitely coming?

Yeah.

Andy Knightley?

Totes.

And you convinced him how?

Mr. Knightley.

Felicity.

You have a friend

here to see you.

No, I don't.

This is a bit grown up, isn't it?

Yup.

Saw the boys the other day.

Mmm-hmm.

O-Man, Stevie-Baby,

the Petertron.

Yeah, I remember the names of

our childhood friends, Gary.

We had ourselves

a little idea.

Did you now?

Yeah. We're going to go

back to Newton Haven.

Why? For some

unfinished business.

That's a joke, right?

Five guys. Twelve pubs. Fifty pints.

Sixty pints.

Steady on,

you f***ing alky.

I haven't had a drink

for 16 years, Gary.

You must be thirsty then.

We can go back, see the guys, chew the

fat, it'll be just like it always was,

except this time we're going to

finish this thing once and for all.

You have a very selective

memory, Gary. Thanks.

You remember

the Friday nights.

I remember the

Monday mornings.

Yeah, that's why we're

going back on a Friday.

Why do you think none of

us live in Newton Haven anymore?

I don't know. Because it's a black hole.

It's boring.

It always was

and it always will be.

It's only boring

because we're not there.

It's pointless arguing with you.

Exactly. So come.

I'm picking everybody up from High

Wycombe station, Friday, 3:00 sharp.

No, Gary.

Oh, God, why? Have you got

to check with your missus?

No, actually, I don't have

to check with my missus.

What are you doing?

I'm showing you the door.

Is it a door?

it doesn't have a lintel.

And it's glass. So is it a

window or is it a door?

Maybe it's a windoor.

You can have that.

Please leave, Gary.

All right. All right.

600, wasn't it?

Oh, um, I thought you should know.

What?

Mum died.

When?

Couple of weeks ago.

The big cancer.

I'm sorry.

She just always really

liked you, you know.

Got me thinking

about the old days.

Particularly that night, you

know, because we were so happy.

And, you know, I love

the boys like brothers,

but when all's said and done,

you're the best friend I ever had.

It was good to

see you, mate.

Pete?

Steven. Thank God.

I had a horrible feeling I was

going to be the only one here.

I reckon that's not the last horrible

feeling you're gonna have today, mate.

This can't be happening.

Can it?

You said it. What the

hell are we doing here?

What we always did.

Follow Gary King into

almost certain oblivion.

Hello, Steven.

You all right, mate?

Pete. Hi, mate.

Didn't we decide to stop calling him

Fearless Leader somewhere around 1992?

Old habits die hard.

They'll be putting that

on Gary's tombstone.

No, they won't.
