Shots, shots.

Um, everyone, mugs all right?

[BARRY] Oh yeah.

[VICKI] Perfect, perfect.

[BARRY] Mug shots.

Here we go, glass, glass.

[VICKI] Do you wanna do the honors?

No, I'm good, I'm good

Okay.

(LAUGHING)

[VICKI] Party at Becksies!

[CARLY] I'll have one too!

Shh, yeah, yeah.

Mm hmm.

(GRUNTING)

Ooh.

I couldn't swallow it!

(LAUGHING)

Oh, sorry about that, we

don't have anything else.

[CARLY] Can we take it through?

Yeah, yeah, finish

it, honestly, finish it.

Okay.

[BECKY] The lounge is

just, um, just there.

[CARLY] Not the bedroom, Barry.

Do you want, um, is there

anything I can get you.

No, um.

You can explain something to me though.

Yeah, what?

Um, what the hell

is this?

The Book of English

Magic, by Philip Carr-Gomm

and Richard, I can't pronounce that.

Heygate.

Ah, what is it?

Are you a witch?

Obviously I'm not a witch.

What are you...

[HIM] Uh, explain the book.

Well, no, I just, I

got that when I was a kid

from my granddad, and I just really,

I like fairies.

'Cause you're a witch.

Can I have that back, please?

No, tell me what it is.

No, come on, please?

Can I just have that, please?

No, come on, witchy, tell me what it is.

[BECKY] Witchy, I'm not.

Well, tell me.

It's completely unfair.

That's from when I was a kid!

A kid, okay, okay, okay.

Ugh.

Let me read, come on,

you put the page down.

Let me read it.

Let me read it.

"On a Friday evening at full moon,

"throw salt into a fire

"and carve your lover's

name into an onion."

Who's your lover, is

it Barry, is it Steve?

It is me?

Oh, come on, look, this is why I like you.

This is weird, I've never seen

this before, but it's cute.

Can you give it back, please?

Yeah, come on get it.

You know, it's a full moon tonight.

Um,

should we, can you just wait one minute?

Do you mind?

I just need a minute, actually.

One minute, just wait there.

I'll be back.

I'll be back out, sorry.

Just give me a minute.

(UPBEAT MUSIC)

Oh.

Oh, hi, Beck, sorry, you're up.

We thought you'd gone to bed.

Carly said you might have gone to bed.

No, I was just, um, um, phone call.

Oh, well, we've ordered a cab, babe,

'cause we thought you'd gone

to bed, so we've gotta go.

Sorry.

Okay, uh, why, stay for another drink.

I've got loads, there's

loads of drink in there.

Yeah, no, I think we've got time for...

No, our cab is here, babe.

You know, meter's running, so.

But you know, I had such

a good time, thank you.

See you Monday.

Are you sure you don't

want to have a drink?

I mean...

Uh, no, I think I should leave it.

I mean, I got pretty tired waiting.

No, I've got stuff,

I've got cycle tomorrow.

Thanks, I'll see you Monday.

(SOFT GUITAR MUSIC)

Meet me in the morning

When you rise

We'll walk through the orchard

In the sunshine

You can hold my hand

It would be all right

And we'll stay outside

until the moonlight

We ain't got no plans

Don't have no foresight

In a semicircle to watch the sunlight

You look oh so pretty in the weather

(GUN FIRING)

Olly, was, um, was there

anyone here when you got up?

I don't know.

I'm just asking.

Have you been eating crisps for breakfast?

They were already there.

Well, that's not the point, is it?

I told you, do not eat

crisps for breakfast.

Eat something healthy.

It's not good for you.

Get off the computer!

What, don't look at me like that!

Get off the computer.

We're going to go to the park, all right?

Can you just get up and

go and brush your teeth?

Olly?

Olly?

Thank you.

Hey.

Sexy Becks, I fell

asleep at yours on Friday.

When I woke up, Carly wasn't there,

but Barry was, and you know what I'm like.

I just wanted to check nothing

happened 'cause I think.

(KNOCKING)

Vicki can I...

Talk to you in a bit, okay?

[STEVE] Why are you still here?

I'm not, I am going.

I just had to sort one

last thing, I'm gone.

All right, well, look, happy hunting.

Get out there and knock them dead.

Sweet, cool.

Yeah.

Okay.

See you in a couple weeks, mate.

Hey, sweetheart.

You all right?

Yeah, yeah.

[CARLY] How you doing?

Mm hmm.

Thanks for Friday night, by the way.

I had such a good time.

Oh good.

I'm just a bit tired,

feeling the effects.

But, uh, yeah, it was really good.

So, um, did you have a good one?

Mmm, yeah, no, it was wicked.

Good night.

Oh I almost forgot.

We're supposed to get those reports out

sort of two past three,

so I'm going to need that

in about half an hour.

But you know, there's no

rush or anything, okay?

You gonna help me today?

No, I'm kinda bored.

Used to help Gran, though.

Yeah, but Gran is dead.

Right.

Hello.

[BECKY] Hi.

[GARDNER] Hi.

[OLLY] Hi.

Smile, maybe?

Hi.

Hi.

You gonna come?

[OLLY] No thank you.

Our bodies

Look into our bodies

Consider us

And cover us in angel dust

And we won't

Waste our lives

Hollywood

We could live in Hollywood

Or anywhere

As long as we are safe and cared for

And we won't waste our lives

No we don't

Waste our lives

You're what we came for

(CALMING MUSIC)

(FIRE CRACKLING)

(HUMMING MUSIC)

Becky Williams, what are you up to?

Hi, Steve.

Yeah, um,

yeah, I'm just actually looking

for a toy for my brother, yeah.

Okay, what, in here?

Yeah, I know.

Okay, well, how old is he?

Um, he's 11.

Hmmm.

Well, it's a bit young

for 11, to be honest.

Ah, I might have to go somewhere else.

Well, nice seeing you.

Very nice to see you, yeah, yeah.

Have a lovely weekend.

Sorry, I'm in your way.

Oh, that's all right, oops, sorry.

Good to see you.

Oops.

Becky.

Becky, just hang on a sec.

Sorry, I just remembered.

There is actually this fantastic toy

shop where you should go.

Honestly, it's unlike

anywhere else in town.

It's, it's kind of,

problem is it's a bit tucked away.

It's behind the railway station and

do you know what?

I'm actually going that way.

If you, I mean, I could

show you, if you fancy.

Uh, yeah, yeah, okay,

I'm going that way too, so.

You won't regret this, honestly.

I used to, um,

I used to go there when I was a kid.

- Oh, yeah.

- When I was about 11.

[BECKY] Okay.

This is where I used to go.

[BECKY] So you know it really well then.

You've lived here all your...

I've lived here all my life, yeah, so.

There was a time when you

could walk up the side street

and get a good old-fashioned

cup of English tea, you know?

Nowadays it's just, you

know, coffee, coffee, coffee.

Coffee here, coffee there.

I got coffee coming out my ears.

Oh, uh, you're not a coffee drinker?

Well, I mean, I like coffee.

I'm not saying that.

I'm just, it's just

Reading, like you know,

everywhere in this country these days,

it's just become enslaved

to the conquistadors

of the chain stores, you know?

You may be thinking,

"How am I possibly gonna

find a toy for my brother

"which isn't exactly like every other toy

"owned by every other kid in this store?"

You stick with me 'cause

I am gonna show you

the dark side of the moon.

We have just passed the last stop on
