00:35Rocky!
00:36Rocky!
00:37I didn't think the minibus was coming till ten.
00:39It's not.
00:40So what's the hurry then?
00:41We need to go over the route.
00:42Again?
00:43Have you got a problem with that?
00:44Nah, all right.
00:45Good.
00:46We need to get this right.
00:51Mr. Turrell, what are you doing?
00:52Have you seen Rocky?
00:53No, are you all right?
00:54I've got to find him.
00:55Look, you'll catch your death like that.
00:57I can't leave him.
00:58Go home.
00:59We'll find him, won't we, my lad?
01:00Come on.
01:13What are you doing here?
01:14Oh, just got to sort a few things out.
01:16I didn't think you'd be in till late.
01:18Well, after last night.
01:19I'm still buzzing, mate.
01:20What happened to you anyway?
01:21Oh, I'd had enough exam.
01:22It was just the beginning.
01:23You should have stuck around.
01:25And what's going to happen when George
01:27finds out you used his name?
01:29Huh.
01:30Worked, didn't it?
01:31As if it's not enough having the other mob to deal with.
01:33Relax.
01:34It's sorted.
01:35We've done a deal.
01:36What?
01:37The, uh, the family, the Carters.
01:38They phoned the club last night.
01:39They had to give out a bit of territory,
01:41but, uh, well, I think it was worth it.
01:43Can't be that easy.
01:44They don't want a turf war with George Palmer.
01:46And you trust them?
01:47Yeah, I thought you'd be pleased.
01:49There'll be no more trouble.
01:50How do we know they won't go to George?
01:53I don't know your problem.
01:54You've got an overactive imagination.
01:56Phil, I'm serious.
01:58Where are you going?
01:59I've got a few things I need to sort out.
02:01Say that like what?
02:02Phil!
02:06Martin, get up!
02:07I'm not going to call you again.
02:09Morning.
02:10Tea's in the pot.
02:11Toast won't be a minute.
02:12Am I hungry?
02:13How much longer are you going to keep this up?
02:15I don't know what you're talking about.
02:17You've hardly said two words since the other night.
02:19I know you think I was hard on you.
02:21It doesn't matter what I think.
02:23Look, why don't we sit down, have some breakfast and talk about it?
02:26I've got to go to work.
02:27Mary!
02:30And when we get here...
02:31I'll go into the depot and hand the manager a petition.
02:33Yeah, I know.
02:34And here?
02:35We turn around.
02:36How many times have we got to go through this?
02:37I just want to make sure we're clear about it.
02:39We didn't need all this planning last time.
02:41Yeah, and if we had,
02:42maybe you'd have won the last election now again.
02:44She don't let up, does she?
02:46Well, that protest must have taken a lot of organising then.
02:49She's got nothing else to worry about.
02:51What's happening about the chippy?
02:52Should reopen at the weekend.
02:54Oh, my son, I can't.
02:56Have you seen Alex?
02:57What, have I?
02:59Is the church all free tonight?
03:00Morning, Nigel.
03:01Nice to see you again.
03:02Yeah, yeah. Is it?
03:03I don't think so. Why?
03:05Community centre's double booked.
03:07Well, we'd better let everyone know rehearsals are cancelled then.
03:09No, we can't do that. We're nowhere near ready.
03:11That's not right. We've got much choice.
03:15If you have, don't look back in anger.
03:17Nope.
03:19How about we don't talk anymore?
03:21Try Winston still.
03:23Give us a break.
03:24It was Pauline who threw you out, remember?
03:26Well, it didn't see you trying to stop her, did I?
03:28Look, why don't you meet me for lunch?
03:30And we can pick up from where we left off.
03:32Yeah, no thanks.
03:33I thought you wanted to talk.
03:34Well, you thought wrong then, didn't you?
03:36Are you always this stubborn?
03:38Suit yourself.
03:44If you've come here to have a go, you can forget it.
03:46Pardon?
03:47I've heard it already.
03:49Mary's my responsibility.
03:51Pauline, what are you on about?
03:53Well, me, throwing your Matthew out the other day.
03:55You are?
03:56Well, that's why you're here, isn't it?
04:02This is Phillip, huh?
04:04I'm looking for Phil.
04:05He's gone out.
04:06Well, any idea when he'll be back? Only I want a word.
04:08No, sorry.
04:09Well, tell him I want to see him, will you?
04:11ASAP.
04:12Yeah.
04:14Yeah, will do.
04:17I'm sorry I can't come, love.
04:18Yeah, just put your name down there instead.
04:20What's this?
04:21The more names we get, the more chance we've got of getting the bus route reinstated.
04:24She been getting at you?
04:25No more than usual.
04:27Cindy phoned earlier.
04:29What's she want?
04:30She's worried about the kids not being with me on my birthday.
04:32You what?
04:33So she wants to have some nights so they can spend Sunday with me.
04:36What's she playing at?
04:37I think she's finally discovered her conscience.
04:39Oh, come on, Ian, you know her better than that.
04:41She don't do anything unless there's something in it for her.
04:43Yeah, I suppose not.
04:44You ready then, Ian?
04:45Excuse me, we're having a conversation.
04:47Oh, I'll tell the Gazette that when he's late then, shall I?
04:49It's all right, Mum, I'll see you later, yeah.
04:51Good luck, love.
04:52Ian, have you got a minute?
04:53No, not really, Nigel.
04:54I just wondered if we could have rehearsals round at your place tonight.
04:56What?
04:57I mean, I wouldn't have asked normally, but it's an emergency.
04:59Nigel, look, I'm not even sure if Lucy's going to be there tonight.
05:01I've really got to go.
05:04Don't worry, Pauline, I'll have a word with him.
05:05Oh, I'd rather you didn't.
05:07Sounds to me like he was well out of order.
05:09It'll only make things worse between him and Mary.
05:12How do you mean?
05:13Well, they've fallen out and it's all my fault.
05:16Well, apparently I embarrassed Matthew and now he's hardly talking to her.
05:20Are you sure?
05:21Yeah, I know she's upset.
05:23I mean, she's got precious few friends round here, as it is,
05:26but, well, I was annoyed.
05:28You did the right thing.
05:29I wish Mary could see it that way.
05:31He should see his owner. He's in a right state.
05:33Yeah, well, I told you, if I see him, I'll let you know.
05:36Just hope he hasn't got on the road or anything.
05:38Robbie, can you not see I'm busy?
05:39Sorry, I was just saying.
05:40Yeah, well, it might be better if you stopped gassing and got out there and looked for him.
05:44What was all that about?
05:45Oh, Robbie going all out some stray.
05:47So you thought you'd have a go at him?
05:49I'm not in a good mood today, OK?
05:50You still not sorting things out with Mum?
05:52Matthew's hardly speaking to me and I'm stuck in this poxy place all day.
05:55Aye, you are feeling sorry for yourself, aren't you?
05:57Don't get me wrong, the money's all right.
05:59At least I get a chance to read.
06:01You're bored.
06:02I just wish something would happen.
06:03Well, so get out there.
06:04It's not that easy.
06:05No? And I always had you down as a fighter.
06:07I am.
06:08Yeah? Well, you sound like you've given up already to me.
06:11Oh, good turnout, Ian.
06:13Yeah, it is, isn't it?
06:14You are clever, organising all this.
06:16Oh, thanks, Darlene.
06:17Look, you two, just enjoy yourselves, all right?
06:19Oh, we're going to have a lovely time.
06:22Don't worry, they'll be here.
06:23What?
06:24The Gazette.
06:25I'd love to see them try and turn this one against us.
06:27Right.
06:28I didn't realise you'd gone to so much trouble.
06:30You busy with the chippy?
06:31Thanks.
06:32We've sorted out everything.
06:34Hello.
06:35Where do you come from?
06:37Ah, do you want a bit of this, do you?
06:39Yeah? There you go.
06:40Simon!
06:41What do you think you're doing?
06:42Oh, he's all right.
06:43He ain't bothering me.
06:44You trying to get me closed down?
06:45Come on.
06:46Out you go.
06:47Go on.
06:49I don't know what some people think this place is.
06:52Hello?
06:53Anyone at home?
06:54Sorry, ma'am?
06:55Oh, it's all right.
06:56It's all right.
06:57It's all right.
06:58It's all right.
06:59It's all right.
07:00It's all right.
07:01It's all right.
07:02Sorry, ma'am.
07:03What's that?
07:05Three guesses.
07:06The business?
07:07Roy's off today to see if he can beg any favours off old mates.
07:10I suppose it's worth a try.
07:12Oh, come on, Kat.
07:13You know as well as me there's no such thing as friends in business.
07:15Well, he's got to do something.
07:17I just wish he'd see sense and get rid of Barry.
07:19Well, it can't be that easy when it's your own son.
07:21I know I was a sucker where David was concerned,
07:23but he'd be long gone by now.
07:25Well, all right.
07:26Maybe not, but we're paying him to do nothing.
07:28Well, look on the bright side.
07:29At least he can't do any harm that way.
07:32Come on, Dad.
07:33No.
07:34Look, I'll sit in the corner and I won't say a word.
07:36Can't you understand English?
07:37Please, you can't go on your own.
07:39Barry, I am perfectly capable of handling a few meetings.
07:42What about your stress levels?
07:43Well, they couldn't be much higher than they are at the moment.
07:45Now, look, I don't know what time I'll be back.
07:47No.
07:48What the hell did...
07:49I can't let you go.
07:50Barry!
07:51Dad!
07:52I only want to help.
07:53Yes, I appreciate that.
07:54I thought that's what you wanted.
07:56I just can't win, can I?
07:58Look, you promise you won't say a thing.
08:01I'm not a dicky bird.
08:02Cross my heart.
08:03Sorry, you know what I mean.
08:05Get in the car.
08:10We used this service a lot, didn't we?
08:12It went right past me bingo.
08:14I can't get there no more.
08:16Not with my feet.
08:17And we wanted to support Ian.
08:18He's my nephew.
08:20I've known him since he was a baby.
08:22Bright little thing he was, isn't everything?
08:24I'm sure he was.
08:25Ladies, I think it's about time we got you on the bus, isn't it?
08:27In a minute, when we've finished our little chat with Polly, isn't it?
08:30Yeah, well, you want a good seat, don't you?
08:32Oh, yes, I don't want to sit on a wheel.
08:34No, of course not.
08:35It makes me sick.
08:36Oh, we don't want that to happen, do we?
08:37Can you open up, please, mate?
08:38We can wait a few more minutes, eh?
08:40Yeah, what about schedule?
08:41It won't hurt.
08:42All right, listen, everyone.
08:43We're going to be making a move in about five minutes' time.
08:45Now, is there anyone here who hasn't signed my petition yet?
08:48Excuse me, is this the bus protest?
08:50Yeah.
08:51Do you want a hand?
08:52Can you point me in the direction of Ian Beale?
08:55Ian?
08:56Ian?
08:57Someone call me?
08:59Mr. Beale, I want to thank you.
09:01This bus is like a lifeline to me.
09:06All right, son.
09:07Er, no.
09:08What do you mean, no?
09:09I ain't lent you any money.
09:10What makes you think I'm after money?
09:11Yeah, well, you're never up this early unless there's a horse involved.
09:13It's a greyhound, actually.
09:14Yeah, whatever.
09:15I'll go on a fiver or two.
09:16Look, I told you the other day, I'm not financing your gambling.
09:18Ah, but I'm not gambling.
09:20I've worked out the system.
09:21You what?
09:22Based on statistical evidence.
09:23There's no way I can lose.
09:24Yeah, funny the bookies haven't caught on to that yet, isn't it?
09:31What's this?
09:32My way of saying thank you for the counselling session.
09:34Oh, I hope you've put some on in the top.
09:36What? There's got to be some purpose to this job.
09:38Well, I'm glad to see you're feeling a bit better.
09:39You made out with Matthew, then?
09:40If he wants to be a baby, that's his problem.
09:42I'm concentrating on getting myself a new job.
09:44Good for you.
09:45Only I might need a bit of a hand.
09:46Why didn't you tell me?
09:48It was nothing to do with you.
09:49I wouldn't have had a go at you, honest.
09:50Well, not much.
09:51I wouldn't.
09:52I'm glad you and Mary are friends.
09:53You just leave it out?
09:54I don't know why you're taking it out on her anyway.
09:56It was Pauline who threw you out.
09:57Well, she could have said something, couldn't she?
09:59Yeah, well, lucky for you, she didn't.
10:00What do you mean?
10:01Oh, think about it.
10:02She took all the flack.
10:03Sounds to me like she had a hard time as well.
10:05Well, I never asked her to.
10:06Yeah, well, I bet she wished she hadn't bothered now.
10:09All right, mate?
10:10What? Yeah.
10:17So, you lost your sight in the Gulf War?
10:19It was a chemical attack. I couldn't put my mask on.
10:22And what does he get now?
10:23A council that acts as the one bus route
10:25that he relies on to take him to his regimental club.
10:27Now, is that any way to treat a war hero?
10:29You tell him, Ian.
10:30Yeah, that is exactly why we are here today.
10:32If Walford Council think they can walk all over the disabled,
10:34the elderly and the people without a voice,
10:36they've got another thing coming.
10:39I'm going to speak out on your behalf
10:41and I won't forget who voted for me if I get elected.
10:45He's got something of Neville Chamberlain about him.
10:48Right, let's get this protest on the road, shall we?
10:50Well done.
10:52That was all right, wasn't it?
10:55All right?
10:56What are you doing?
10:58What do you care?
10:59Well, do you want to come to lunch?
11:01You've changed your tune.
11:02Well, do you want to or not?
11:03Depends. Are you buying?
11:04Maybe.
11:06Look, I can't make it now, but I'll see you in the cafe around six.
11:14Looks like you've made a new friend.
11:16Yeah, cute, innit?
11:17Robbie was looking for a stray earlier on.
11:19Yeah?
11:20Yeah. Where'd you find him?
11:21I gave him a bit of my breakfast this morning.
11:23He's been hanging around ever since.
11:25Looks like he wants to give you something in return.
11:27What?
11:29Oi, come here, you little sod!
11:35Rocky, there you are!
11:37I'll kill him!
11:38Leave him alone, can't you see he's frightened?
11:40Yeah, I'll give you a frighten. Have you seen what he's done to my stock?
11:43Oh, hang on, I've forgotten my bag.
11:46Teresa!
11:47Dusty, what are you doing here?
11:49I've been looking all over for you. Well, for Gianni, actually.
11:52Yeah?
11:53I really need to talk to him.
11:54What about?
11:55It's kind of personal.
11:56Is he in?
11:57No.
11:58Well, have you any idea when he's going to be back?
12:01I really need to see him.
12:02Sorry. Is there anything wrong?
12:04Just get him to call me. Tell him it's important.
12:07Sure.
12:10Who was that?
12:11Just some girl I know from Soho.
12:13Looks like she's got a lot on her mind.
12:18Are you sure it was her?
12:19She must have found out about Nina.
12:21How could she have?
12:22You know how women are like. They talk.
12:24Well, if you will play with fire.
12:26Who am I working at?
12:28What?
12:29Telepathy. You're going to have to go over there.
12:31Why? I don't want to do that, hey?
12:33Tell him that that girl was near the other day, looking for him.
12:35I'll try to.
12:37Yes, mate?
12:38Mary?
12:39Yeah, why not?
12:40Oh, she's not 18, for a start.
12:41Ah, but she will be next week.
12:43Which means she hasn't got any experience.
12:45How hard can bar work be?
12:46Watch it, you.
12:47Oh, come on, Peggy. You know how busy it gets here some nights.
12:49Yeah, but I haven't got time to train anyone up.
12:51Yeah, but she's a fast learner.
12:52Oh, sure she is.
12:53Pumpers all love her.
12:54Don't you have got to give that a go?
12:55Runs in the family, eh?
12:57So you'll think about it.
12:58I'm not going to get any peace unless I do, am I?
13:01Grant?
13:02Yeah?
13:03You OK while I knit to the shop?
13:05Sure.
13:08Leave me alone.
13:09I'm sorry, Dad. I couldn't help it.
13:10You couldn't help it?
13:11No, I just sort of slipped up.
13:12Sorry, Dad. I couldn't help it.
13:13You couldn't help it?
13:14No, I just sort of slipped out.
13:15Well, what happened to sitting in the corner and keeping quiet?
13:17I knew I shouldn't have let you come.
13:18Scott, please, Tiff. You know you're not supposed to...
13:20Don't you dare after what you've put me through.
13:22Make that a double.
13:23Do you think that's a good idea?
13:24What?
13:25Why don't you have a coke instead, Jay?
13:26We're supposed to be cutting down on caffeine, too.
13:28Oh, forget it.
13:34Have you got any chickpeas?
13:35No, I don't think so.
13:37Hello.
13:38Hello, there.
13:39Hello, Mrs Mitchell. I'll be with you in just one minute.
13:41Oh, no, Harry.
13:42Settling in OK?
13:43George has done us proud.
13:45It's a lovely house.
13:46What was it you were looking for?
13:47Chickpeas.
13:48You haven't seen my brother, Janney, have you?
13:50Yeah, he was in the Vic a minute ago.
13:52Hold on. Where do you think you're going?
13:54I'll see you back at the house, Mum.
13:55What? Tresa!
13:57Kids, eh?
13:58I'm really sorry. We don't have any.
14:00But I could order some in for you, if you like.
14:01Would you?
14:02Yeah, I'll let you know as soon as they come in.
14:03Thanks.
14:04No, no problem.
14:05Charles.
14:06You know, well, you want to get yourself down to rehearsals tonight.
14:09Pardon?
14:10Pardon?
14:11That's the best act I've seen in a long time.
14:13I was just trying to be helpful.
14:15Well, if you perform that well behind the bar,
14:17you shouldn't have too many problems.
14:18You mean I've got the job?
14:19Welcome aboard.
14:22I'll have to cancel if I can't find anywhere.
14:24I'm sorry, Nigel. There's no room at ours.
14:25It's like living in a jumble cell as it is.
14:27Oh, come on. I've asked everyone else.
14:29What about this place?
14:31I hadn't thought of that.
14:32Grant!
14:33Oh, don't be stupid. Do you know what you're saying?
14:37Orange juice, please.
14:39Is it here?
14:42It's Peggy you want to ask.
14:44I can't go behind Grant's back, can I?
14:46Well, it looks like rehearsals are off then.
14:48Look, I'm sure there's nothing to worry about.
14:50Yeah, that's easy for you to say.
14:51Just lie low for a while.
14:53She'll soon forget you. They always do.
14:55Yeah, you're right.
14:56She probably hasn't got a clue what I've been up to anyway.
14:58You're in big trouble.
15:03Everything all right?
15:04Oh, sorry.
15:05Yeah, OK.
15:06Yeah, I look forward to it.
15:08Bye.
15:09Hiya. You all right?
15:11Fine. What are you doing here?
15:12I just popped back to see if you needed anything.
15:14If I did, I'd get it myself.
15:16Who was that?
15:17My manager.
15:18That's nice.
15:19What is?
15:20I rang in to see how you are.
15:21No, I rang her, actually.
15:23I'm going back to work tomorrow.
15:24All right, son? What are you having?
15:26Where did you get that?
15:28I told you you should have had a bit more faith in your old dad, eh?
15:31I told you I couldn't lose.
15:33You should have been there, Cathy.
15:34Oh, you'd have been ever so proud.
15:36Well, I am, darling.
15:37Yeah, you'll make sure everyone sees that feature in the Gazette.
15:39Mind you, we done our bit.
15:41She's a nice girl, that Polly.
15:43But she could do with smartening herself up a bit.
15:46Well, I'm sure Ian's very grateful.
15:48Why don't you sit down? Go on, I'll get him in.
15:50Oh, don't.
15:51Come on, darling.
15:53Look at that bloke turned up.
15:55What do you mean, look? I didn't choose that bus route by chance, you know.
15:57No?
15:58No, I knew a lot of disadvantaged people relied on it.
16:00So it wasn't just a fluke, then?
16:02No, not at all.
16:0335, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60.
16:07Nice little number you did back there.
16:09Let's hope you've got the same talent for acting dumb.
16:12My lips are sealed.
16:16Michael, I am not an invalid.
16:17I never said you were.
16:18So why are you treating me like one?
16:20I'm not. I just don't think you're ready to go back.
16:22Don't you think I'm the best judge of that?
16:23Will you stop biting my head off? I'm worried about you, that's all.
16:26It's like talking to a brick wall.
16:27Maybe in a couple of months' time, yeah?
16:28It's got nothing to do with you.
16:30I'm going back to work tomorrow. End of story.
16:34Caused a bit of a ruckus, did you, mate?
16:36Yeah, about that.
16:37I'm sorry you had to take all the flak.
16:40There was a bit of damage.
16:42I suppose I'd better cough up, then.
16:44Can you afford it?
16:45I don't want you getting in any more trouble.
16:47Here you go.
16:49A tenner?
16:50And I don't want to see the change.
16:52But that's not going to be enough.
16:53Not another word.
16:55You've earned it.
16:58She can't be. I was careful.
16:59Let's just hold on a minute. We don't know anything for sure.
17:02She looked like she'd put weight on.
17:04Maybe you should call her.
17:05But what happened to lying low?
17:06That's when I thought this was about two-timing.
17:08If she is pregnant...
17:09I don't want to know.
17:10You can't just turn your back on her.
17:12Watch me.
17:14You've done what?
17:15Well, you've got nowhere else to rehearse.
17:17And seeing as I'm a leading member of the class...
17:19Well, what about all the other punters?
17:20Oh, it'll be a treat for them.
17:22Look, if it's a problem, I knew you were up to something.
17:24It's fine.
17:26Now, I've asked Mary to come in later.
17:28And why would she want to do that?
17:29Oh, didn't I say? She's going to be working here.
17:31Since when?
17:32Now, don't get excited.
17:33She's only coming in on a trial basis.
17:35Doesn't it get us saying anything that happens around here?
17:37Oh, you've been going on for ages to get someone else in.
17:39And anyway, she's young, bright, attractive.
17:42Well, I'll leave you to tell Tiffany, then.
17:46Same again, ladies?
17:47Oh, yes, Tom.
17:48Wouldn't say no.
17:49You'll still come, can't you?
17:50Yeah, probably be able to persuade a photographer to come along as well.
17:53Seeing as I won't be able to get points.
17:55Oh, great. We need all the publicity we can get if we're going to save the church hall.
17:58Do you really think the play's going to make that much difference?
18:01Alex does. You should talk to him.
18:03What's that?
18:04I was just telling Tony we're having the rehearsals in here tonight.
18:06Oh, right. Are you writing another article?
18:08Yeah.
18:09Same time as usual, Nigel?
18:10I thought you said Lucy couldn't come.
18:11I can't have her missing a rehearsal, can I?
18:13See you later.
18:16Where's he gone?
18:18What about my drink?
18:19There's gratitude for you.
18:22Two of those, please.
18:23Thirsty, are you?
18:24I'm meeting someone.
18:25Oh.
18:27OK.
18:30Roy!
18:31Oh, hello.
18:32What are you doing here?
18:33Well, you know, I thought I'd save your cooking, seeing as how we've got rehearsals.
18:36I won't do you much good, will I?
18:38How'd it go?
18:40Yeah, yeah, you know.
18:41You got back in?
18:42Well, obviously no-one made a decision there and then.
18:44It was a disaster, wasn't it?
18:46No. I got a few positive responses.
18:48You might as well tell me, love, because I'll find out sooner or later.
18:51Right, it didn't exactly go as planned.
18:54I knew it. So much for mates.
18:58At least you tried, love.
19:01You all right?
19:02What did I get you?
19:03Nothing. I just wondered if I could come over later. I've got something with Ben.
19:07Prison? What for?
19:08No reason.
19:09Well, I'm sorry. I've made other plans.
19:11Right, well, give that to him anyway, will you?
19:13You can't afford this.
19:15I wouldn't have bought it otherwise, would I?
19:16It must have cost a fortune.
19:18He'll love it, won't he?
19:20What's going on, Phil?
19:21What do you mean?
19:22I saw you with those dodgy-looking blokes the other day.
19:24Who's that, then? Grant and Terry?
19:25If you're up to anything...
19:26Look, can't I even buy my son a present without you giving me grief?
19:29Yeah, I know you.
19:30So what?
19:31Look, I'm not up to anything, but even if I was, it's nothing to do with you anymore.
19:35How can you say that?
19:36Well, we're getting divorced, aren't we?
19:37Yeah, and look what happened to Peggy when those blokes wanted to get at George.
19:40I don't want me and Ben being caught up in anything like that.
19:42Now, what do you take me for?
19:43I wouldn't let anyone hurt either one of you.
19:45Yeah, I'm sure George said exactly the same thing.
19:49Have you seen Phil?
19:50No.
19:51Are you sure?
19:52I think I remember if I am.
19:53He's a star!
19:58I'll take it you've seen Peggy?
19:59I can't believe it. I start next week.
20:01Start what?
20:02Maybe he's going to be wanting you.
20:03Yeah, I would have got a look-in if I hadn't been for Mark.
20:06Come on, sit down. Let's talk about it.
20:12You finished?
20:13Yeah.
20:14Don't worry, love.
20:17Don't worry, love.
20:18It happens to the best of us.
20:23Where the hell have you been?
20:25What?
20:26George wants to talk to you.
20:28What about?
20:29He came to the Arches after you left.
20:30Said it was urgent.
20:31Maybe they've been on to him.
20:32Well, if he knew what was going on, he would have had it out with you, wouldn't he?
20:35I didn't make the deal, did I?
20:36Just calm down, mate. It's probably about something else.
20:38Like what?
20:39I don't know, but there's only one way to find out, isn't there?
20:43Right, and if you're doing a double, make sure you let them know she flew right back up again,
20:46cos we don't want people leaving a licence, do we?
20:48How's it going?
20:49Since when does it matter what I think?
20:50Don't be like that.
20:51Right, now, the pumps.
20:53Gosh, she's got some fun, isn't she?
20:55Hello, my darlings.
20:56Mummy!
20:57Hello, darlings.
20:58Hello, boys.
21:01You're early.
21:02Yeah, I thought we'd see how Lucy was doing. Hope you don't mind.
21:04Why should he?
21:05Hello, tiger. Have you got hope for me?
21:06Thanks for letting us spend the evening with him.
21:08Yeah, don't make me happy.
21:09Oh, if you'd rather we came tomorrow, it's no problem.
21:11I thought you might like to spend your birthday with him.
21:13Oh, how very considerate of you.
21:15You all right, mate?
21:16All right.
21:17What are you having?
21:18I'll have a pint, please, Tiff.
21:19Right, you watching?
21:20You met the new barmaid?
21:21Oh, great.
21:22There'd be trouble if you started slipping my son anything stronger than noise, Jigsaw.
21:24Matthew!
21:25Oh, I've got to go.
21:26Hold on, I haven't finished!
21:28Mary!
21:32George.
21:33Colin said you wanted to see me.
21:35I wondered when you'd show up.
21:36What do you want?
21:37I think you already know.
21:38Do I?
21:39You two were well out of order the other night.
21:41Don't know what you mean.
21:42You what?
21:43Any idea what Peggy's going through?
21:45She's all right, she?
21:46You humiliated her in front of the whole pub.
21:48You and that tart.
21:49You mean Luna?
21:50I don't care what her name is.
21:52You shouldn't be parading around like that.
21:53Well, I never knew she was going to turn up.
21:55You could at least have the decency to go and apologise.
21:57Peggy's worried sick about you.
21:58Yeah, I'll go and see her.
21:59When?
22:00Tomorrow.
22:01Well, make sure you do.
22:02I will.
22:03All right.
22:04Just remember, when you hurt Peggy, you hurt me.
22:08And that's not a very good idea.
22:13I'm really sorry I lost all track of time.
22:15That's all right.
22:16I can't wait to get started.
22:17Only a crummy local.
22:18Don't be like that.
22:19It's the best thing that's happened to me for ages.
22:21I don't know why you're so excited.
22:22You're just jealous.
22:23Yeah.
22:24You can't handle the fact that you're not even old enough to get served.
22:26Well, I've got better things to do with my time, thank you.
22:29Oh, yeah, like what?
22:30Loads of stuff.
22:31Sorting out your records, sorting them out again, that sort of thing?
22:34You don't know everything about me.
22:36In fact, you don't know nothing.
22:37All right, then, tell me something really shocking.
22:39No.
22:40I don't know you're going to say that.
22:43Me and Sandra engaged to be married.
22:45There, is that shocking enough for you?
22:49Where have you been?
22:50I had a few things to sort out.
22:51Well, let me get you a drink to celebrate.
22:53Went OK, didn't it?
22:54Yeah, you wait till you see what else I've got lined up.
22:56How could you?
22:57It's only a job.
22:58Yes, but in a pub.
23:00Asking for trouble.
23:02Well, at least you'll always know where she is.
23:04I really don't see what the problem is.
23:05No, well, you wouldn't, would you?
23:06You're not the one who's responsible for her.
23:08You're not going to stop her, are you?
23:10Well, it's a bit late now, isn't it?
23:12But it doesn't mean to say I'm pleased about it.
23:15Engaged.
23:16Shh! Mum's upstairs.
23:18Natty, that's ridiculous.
23:20Now who's jealous, eh?
23:21All right, then, what's the ring like?
23:23What?
23:24The engagement ring. You have bought her one, haven't you?
23:26Yeah, of course, it's gold and...
23:27And why haven't you told your parents?
23:29They wouldn't understand. You know what they're like.
23:31Oh, why not? She's a perfect cat.
23:33Yeah, she's almost too good to be true.
23:35Yeah, but...
23:37Don't say anything, all right?
23:39I'm going home anyway.
23:40Ah, so that's what the rush was about.
23:46Yeah, I'll wait, yeah, sure.
23:48I'll let Nigel finish.
23:49But we can't move with you, can we?
23:50Yesterday he was moaning that the takings were down.
23:53Well, I think I was first.
23:55Yeah, see you.
23:56Bye, please.
23:59Pat, Dad, I just want to say that I'm sorry.
24:02I've just been telling Pat I didn't have much lunch today.
24:04Don't make excuses for me, Dad. What I did was stupid.
24:06What's the matter with that?
24:07Nothing. Come on, let me get you a drink.
24:09Go on, I haven't talked to you in a day.
24:11You what?
24:12It's not what you think.
24:14And I screwed up.
24:15Me and my big mouth.
24:16OK, everyone, I think we're about ready to start.
24:18Hold up, if I could just have your attention for a few minutes, please.
24:21If you mind.
24:22Yeah, we're trying to have a rehearsal here.
24:24I'll see you up soon, then.
24:25Now, I've got an announcement to make which concerns all of you.
24:28Now, as you know, this play is for charity,
24:30and as such, I'd like to do my bit to help you all out.
24:32I don't think this is the time or the place.
24:34So I got in touch with the manager of the Walford Empire,
24:37and after a lot of hard work on my part,
24:39I've managed to persuade him to let you have it for free.
24:42That's brilliant.
24:44Just think of all the tickets you're selling.
24:46I thought you'd all be happy.
24:49I'm telling you, he didn't have a clue.
24:51How long's that going to last?
24:52He ain't going to find out.
24:54You don't know that.
24:55What is this, you trying to wire me up or something?
24:57Don't tell me it's not getting to you.
24:59Well, that's the name of the game, isn't it?
25:01Maybe we should just tell him.
25:02He's on the front line now. He should be prepared.
25:05He's gone out with your mother, for heaven's sake.
25:07But don't you think I ain't thought about it?
25:09So tell him.
25:10What for? What good's that going to do us?
25:11It ain't going to get us anywhere, is it?
25:12If the carters want to get through to us,
25:14they can do it in loads of ways, not just through George.
25:16They know who we are.
25:19If anything happens to Mary...
25:20Nothing's going to happen to Mary.
25:22We've made an agreement, and everything's under control, right?
25:26Hey, come on, you two.
25:28How's it going at the club?
25:29I'm getting things moving.
25:30No hard feelings, then?
25:31I understand. You're getting on. You want a quiet life.
25:34Make you sound past it.
25:35You and Becky deserve each other. She's a good woman.
25:38Yeah, she is.
25:39Look, if you need any help...
25:41I'll remember you said that.
25:44He thinks he's so clever.
25:46Look who's talking.
25:47What?
25:48Can you imagine what would happen if anyone found out about the chipping?
25:50They're not going to.
25:51See what I mean? Why can't you just leave it, Nick?
25:54Because I don't want you to lose your kids.
25:56Oh, what, and a charge for criminal damage is really going to help me keep them, isn't it?
25:59I dread to think what's going to happen if he finds out.
26:01Maybe it'd do him good, take him down a peg or two.
26:03You are joking. You'll go ballistic.
26:06Do you reckon?
26:08Maybe that's not such a bad thing.
26:11Oh, Nick, come on, let's just go.
26:12I'd like a drink first.
26:14Nick!
26:15What are you having?
26:16Have this while you're on the house, love.
26:17Oh, cheers, Peggy.
26:18I've got to get back to the club.
26:19Are you sure?
26:20Thanks for earlier on. I know I was a bit grumpy.
26:22What's new?
26:23Hey, don't ruin a great day.
26:24You're going to be the only thing in next week's paper. See ya.
26:26See ya.
26:27She's right. Nice move, that.
26:29Do you always listen in on other people's conversations?
26:31Looks like things are going really well for you at the moment.
26:33Yeah, on all fronts.
26:34Cheers, Peggy.
26:35Oh, I wouldn't say that. What about your, um, chip shop?
26:38That's all sorted.
26:39Oh, good. Tricky things, those manholes.
26:42You what?
26:43They're not exactly easy to block, but you know, it happens.
26:45It was you, wasn't it?
26:46I don't know what you're talking about.
26:47It was you, wasn't it?
26:48What do you think you're doing?
26:49Don't take it!
26:50It's none of my business. Do you know how much money you cost me?
26:51Will somebody get this stuff out of me?
26:53Ian, stop it!
26:55Nick!
26:57If you ever try it, I'm going to stunt light it again!
