00:00OK, if that's what it's going to take, I'll leave.
00:07I won't contact George ever again, but I want to maintain a relationship with my girls.
00:13Of course.
00:14So give it to me now.
00:15What?
00:16The USB with the recording on it, Elaine.
00:20This could ruin my life.
00:21You're not getting that from me until I have proof that you're leaving Walford.
00:33We'll run along then.
00:34You've got a busy day ahead.
00:36I want you gone by New Year.
00:40France.
00:42What on earth has brought this on?
00:50I've been thinking about it for a long time, and I want a future.
00:56I want something to look forward to.
00:58It's Christmas Eve.
00:59Exactly.
01:00And it's times like this that brings everything to a head, you know, family all sitting around,
01:05and yet again, we have another drama in our lives.
01:09Peter needs us.
01:10Peter is a 31-year-old man, Ian.
01:12All right.
01:13What about Louis?
01:14Well, they can still visit us, can't they?
01:15We can still see them at quality time.
01:19I don't know.
01:20I mean, maybe if it was in a year or two.
01:23I mean, this place, it's hardly making a profit.
01:26I mean, we need to keep going with it.
01:27What is the point of working all the hours God sends to then keel over as soon as you
01:31retire?
01:32No one's keeling over.
01:33I might.
01:34I'm unhappy, Ian.
01:35Love, look, please don't take this the wrong way, OK?
01:45But this is fairly normal for you.
01:47I mean, you are up and down like a yo-yo.
01:48Don't just dismiss my feelings like that.
01:51Just saying.
01:54I just can't take it here anymore, living with your mum.
01:57She hates me.
01:58Well, she's done.
01:59Lauren accusing me of dealing her drugs.
02:01I just get scapegoated because of my past.
02:03There's just no escape.
02:04All right.
02:05I'll have a firm word with her.
02:09And then there's George.
02:10What about him?
02:11Well, you know, it's living opposite your ex-husband.
02:15It's just unhealthy.
02:16Has he tried something on with you?
02:17No, no, no.
02:19It's just too distracting.
02:20And I want to focus all my energies on you.
02:24You know how much I hate the winter here, Ian.
02:27It makes me miserable and grouchy, whereas you know how much I love the sun and sitting
02:33by the pool in my bikini.
02:34It just makes me more passionate.
02:37It's not exactly bikini weather in France in the winter.
02:42Oh, it's a dance site better than living in Walford.
02:45Yeah, but, look, moving over there, I mean, look, it'll be stressful.
02:50I mean, there'll be a lot to organise.
02:51Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:52Well, I can do it.
02:53Peter can look after the business.
02:54You know, we can just take a salary and spend all our time just relaxing by the pool.
03:00You're mad, you are.
03:02So?
03:03So I'll think about it.
03:06Great, because I've already bought the tickets.
03:09You've done what?
03:10Yeah, we fly to Nice on the 1st of January.
03:12I've already put a call in to the owner of a really lovely villa and we can stay there
03:15for a month and then just take it from there.
03:17If you really hate it, we can move back, but I guarantee you won't.
03:21Oh, thank you.
03:22Love you.
