You don't just race over here and then

pretend like nothing's f***ing happened.

- Step up and own it. Take responsibility.

- Where are the kids?!

Oh no.

Oh sh*t... I forgot Al I'm sorry,

I'll go now. I'll go now.

Mom, I know, I know, I'm sorry.

Get your stuff you're not staying here.

- Oh you're a f***ing coward!

- Stay with you Mum.

He's fine he forgot.

Al I'll get them I swear I'll do it alright?

Just relax.

- On your way then.

- Seriously I'll get them I just forgot.

What's wrong?

Nothing's wrong.

She's...she's upset.

- What's happened?

- Nothing Al, look l...

Steph?

I'll be back in ten okay?

I don't want to do this anymore.

Do what?

- Hey I...look...what...why don't you...

- Don't!

What's going on?

I don't know.

If you don't tell her I will.

Tell me what? Guys come on

you're scaring me.

Dave.

I was going to tell you Al when

once everything had settled down.

But um...

Something happened.

The night of the party in Sihanoukville...

After you went to sleep...

What happened Dave?

What happened?

We slept together.

We were crazy drunk and...

- It didn't mean anything Al.

- I'm sorry.

We were just wasted and we were dancing...

Steph, Steph.

I'm sorry.

I promise you that I was...

F***!

You'd better go.

- Good job.

- I think you would look really good in this.

What?

Wow check it out! Sexy!

That's weird it kind of actually

works with your outfit.

- Oh please!

- It does.

- My God we're going to have to buy this.

- That's him.

- He's cute.

- Yeah he's cute!

- Don't - he's going to see you.

- Sorry.

OK.

Hi.

Anyway he's going to pay it because

he works over there a bunch and he can just

write it off on tax or whatever.

Wow!

Like you should just come.

God, what is the big problem

it is a week.

That's it.

We're just going to hang by the pool and we're going to sun tan.

No phones. No kids.

- No money. Mortgage. School fees next year.

- It is cheap there.

You so...have you every been there?

It's like...

...dirt cheap.

Anyway it's only money you'll find out.

I think you've only known him like six weeks.

Yeah, exactly...and that is why

I really want you to come.

Otherwise I'm going to be stuck by the pool.

On my own while he's off working.

Look it...whatever it's fine

all I'm saying is just...

I do not know...

you're going to go through

all of that same pregnancy baby stuff for the next two years and...

...it's going to be harder now because you're going to have three kids

and you're never going to be able to get out.

You need to loosen up.

What?

So remind me who I was

supposed to be going with?

It's not like you don't know Steph...

...and this guy he's cool he's really interesting.
