MAN:
Hey.How do you like this? Paradise.
I never want to go home!
David, come on!
It's going to be amazing!
- Are you ready for your surprise?
DAVID:
Yes.OK, surprise!
- You like it?
- I love him.
- I love you.
- Mat?
- I love you.
- I love you too.
The last ten days on this
island with you have...
Have been the best! I can't
remember ever feeling this happy.
So why do all good things have to end?
Who says it has to end?
Mia, I don't know you but I think I want
to spend the rest of my life trying to.
Are you saying
what I think you're saying?
Yes.
Wait till you meet my family.
Wait till you meet mine.
I saw her sitting in the rain
Raindrops falling on her
She didn't seem to care
She sat there and smiled at me
Then I knew I knew,
I knew, I knew, I knew
She can make me happy
J Happy
Flowers in her hair...
- Sorry.
Flowers everywhere
Like a flower girl
Oh, I don't know just why
I love the flower girl
kind She crept into my mind
Ah
I knew I had to say hello
She smiled up at me
She took my hand We walked
through the park alone
And I knew I knew,
I knew, I knew, I knew
She had made me
happy Happy...
Sh*t!
Flowers in her hair
Her hair
Flowers everywhere
I love the flower girl
Oh, I don't know just why
she simply caught my eye
I love the flower girl
kind She crept into my mind
Crept into my mind
Suddenly the sun broke through
gone Where did she go?
And all I had left was one
little flower in my hand
But I knew...
Surprise!
(Shocked gasps)
(Chuckles)
It's dreary and we love it
And it smells like rockn'roll
It's not too far from
Chiswick yet it's...
I think that was the
most embarrassing thing
that's ever happened to anyone ever.
Sorry, mate,
we weren't supposed to know
you'd come through the
Yeah, I know. It was... thoughtful.
- Come here, good to have you back!
- You're spilling my drink.
Sorry, I've missed you, greasy hippie.
Been stuck here for the last six
months with Luke and bloody Graham.
- You know what that's like.
- You alright, Graham?
- This has cheese on it.
- So pick it off.
I can't just pick it off. If I have any
cheese, then I start getting malaise.
- Malaise.
- Yes, malaise.
Good to see nothing's changed.
- Where's Luke?
- He's coming later.
Had to go around Sarah's for the
50 millionth time this week.
- Oh, really?
- Oh, yeah, it's not been good.
She's been seeing this guy called Chip.
Yeah, imagine if your girlfriend
left you for a guy called Chip.
Not to mention he doesn't have a penis.
What do you mean,
he doesn't have a penis?
Apparently, it got damaged
in a boating accident.
Anyway, how was your trip?
Tell us everything.
- Oh, OK, it was incredible.
- Yeah?
- Did you have sex with anyone?
- Better than that.
- What? What's better than that?
- I'll tell you later.
- Whoa! Did you have a threesome?
- Look, the party's still going on.
- Just tell us.
- No.
David, you can't leave
us hanging like this.
I'm getting married.
Right! Everybody out!
Party's over!
Grandad, you've had too much
to drink, you drunken old sod.
How did this happen?
How do you think it happened?
I fell in love.
Her name's Mia. She's Australian.
We met in Tuvalu, this
little island in the Pacic.
And she is the most amazing,
beautiful, intelligent...
You know, the normal thing at this
point is to say congratulations.
Congratulations, I feel like I've
just f***ing aged ten years.
Holiday flings are meant to end
at the airport, not at the altar.
Don't listen to him, David,
this is great.
We're right behind you all the way.
Just tell us where the party is.
It's at Mia's parents house
in Australia.
What, is that a f***ing joke?
I can't go to Australia, it's bloody miles away!
You know I get air sickness.
Jesus, I thought you'd be a
little bit more supportive
If you don't come, it's just gonna be
me and a load of bloody Australians.
- You're all I got.
- Excuse me, 20 years
since we've been friends, when
have we ever let you down?
Uh, what about the time you told
Rachel Brookman I had syphilis?
Yeah, apart from that. When
you used to ride your bike
up and down Dorset Street on your own
like some kind of an infant leper,
we were the ones who
took you into our gang.
Even though you were this
lost little orphan boy
who everyone thought was gay.
What do you mean, everyone
thought I was gay?
They did cause you were all sensitive
and nice to people and sh*t.
Suppose you'll be moving to a
nice two-bed in Hertfordshire?
Oh, you're f***ing joking.
You're moving to Australia?
No, it's not set yet. We'll just...
see how it goes.
- Hey, Luke.
- Hi, David.
- How are you?
- Yeah, pretty good.
I mean, I feel like I've given
the last five years of my life
in return for unimaginable pain and
torment but aside from that, I'm fine.
David's getting married
and moving to Australia.
(Wails)
Taxi!
Why does she only want you there
one day before the wedding?
- She thought it'd be romantic.
- You know what bugs me, bruv?
You are about to gamble your life
on a girl you don't even know.
She's not a roulette wheel,
she's the love of my life.
What if she turns out
to be a vagina farter?
Your one serious relationship,
you dumped her cause...
Front bottom burps, noisy
flange, disgusting.
When you lose your parents young,
Tom,
you learn to roll the dice
when it's handed to you.
Oh, I've taken you to Blackpool,
brother, you're a terrible gambler.
- What exactly have I got to lose?
- Us!
Aww...
Couldn't lose you if you were
I'm just looking out for you, that's all.
I don't know this girl.
And neither do you.
DAVID:
Don't you believein love at first sight?
I just can't believe you're getting married.
It's just so grown-up
Every time I look at you,
I still see a little
eight-year-old waif in gym shorts.
That's a bit weird.
- Hi.
- Luke.
- How are you?
- Awful.
Sarah and Chip have
officially moved in together.
- I'm so sorry, mate.
- Yeah.
Well, maybe this trip will do you some good.
Maybe you'll get some distance.
- Sorry.
Sorry.
Sorry I'm late.
Picking up my new business
cards - going global.
Hitler's selling underfloor heating to Australians.
Oh, this is gonna be huge.
- Graham, what is that on your face?
- What?
That. That monstrosity.
- Oh, you mean the moustache?
- Yes, the moustache.
I'm about to meet my future family, I
can't have you turn up looking like a...
- Like a...
- Genocidal Fascist dictator.
What are you talking about? Moustaches
are really in at the moment.
- Not Hitler moustaches.
- Look, it's how my facial hair grows.
Alright? I can't help the
fact it looks like Hitler's.
Why are you being so negative,
anyway?
Why can't it be a Chaplin moustache?
- Sit down, you're in the way.
