All right, sweetheart?

Yeah.

You all right, Shauney? You OK?

Yeah.

Dad, can you buy me the guitar?

Yeah, sure. What music do you like?

Do you like music?

Pop music.

I like the blues, the Beatles,

Michael Jackson.

OK, who wants rice? You want rice,

darling? There you go.

Take some rice.

Oh, this looks good.

It's really nice, isn't it?

I can barely speak, I'm so happy.

That's better.

Ow.

That was nice, wasn't it?

Yeah.

Yeah, I feel a bit sick though.

Oh, you're all right. Are you OK?

Yeah.

Did you enjoy that, Katrina?

Yeah.

Right, what do you want to do?

Go play footy.

Footy? Need a park.

Louis Saha, look at that.

Steph, a bit of help here.

Do you want it?

Steph! Steph! This way, this way.

Go on, Steph, pass back.

Stephanie.

If I give you some money, will you

get some ice-creams for you all?

Dad!

We're just going to be five minutes,

we're just going to have a cuddle.

That should be enough. OK.

All of us? Yeah.

Don't we have to pay?

No. It's a free one.

You look nice.

I'm going to feed some of the ducks.

Come on, Katrina.

OK.

Here, ducks, come on.

HE SQUEAKS AT DUCKS

Come on.

Robert!

Robert, wait there!

Wait there.

Just wait there, Robert.

What are you doing?

I told you to stay in the park.

Stupid boy.

Where are the others?

In the park.

What are you doing on your own?

Oh, come on! Come on!

See you later.

Bye, Daddy.

Bye-bye, sweetheart.

Bye, Dad.

Bye, Dad.

Bye, Dad.

Bye, kids.

It was too short.

I know.

I love you.

I love you too.

I've got to go.

Bye.

Thanks. Now can you put

your hands up for me?

Do a quick turn around. Thank you.

PHONE RINGS:

Wow, look at that.

Be careful. It's a bit hot.

You all right?

'Yeah, OK how are you? '

OK.

'I don't want you to worry. '

Did you cook this?

No.

'I smuggled something in with me.

Just a tiny, tiny amount of hash. '

Oh God.

Lan, you're just an idiot.

'I know. I know I am. I'm sorry. '

Can we eat?

No, let's wait for your mum.

'It was hardly anything. '

Yeah, listen I've got to go.

I'm with the kids just now. So...

'Karen, I'm sorry. '

You can wait two minutes, can't you?

OK.

'OK. I love you. '

Yeah. Bye.

'OK, bye. Bye. '

OK?

Great. Looks great.

I hope you like lasagne.

No, I love it, I love it.

It's my favourite.

Cheers.

Cheers!

Cheers.

Cheers.

Mum, what did Dad say?

He says he loves you. And he said

he had good fun the other day.

It was fun, wasn't it?

Yeah.

Oh, no! No, he misses!

Sean now has the ball. Oh,

and he's going to look for Robert.

He can't find him, though.

Robert's too fast. Robert scores...

...and shoots.

Or is it the other way around?

What's the nearest 10? Are we going

to round that up or round it down?

Down?

Good boy.

What about me?

One for you. One for me.

I'm sorry.

It's not that bad. It was a tiny bit.

It was nothing.

You taking drugs, Ian?

Is it for yourself?

I'm not taking f***ing drugs.

F***ing dope is everywhere in here.

I don't need it meself.

Well, just stand up for yourself,

Ian.

They made me bring it in, Karen.

There's nothing I could do.

You've just got to

f***ing believe me.

I was scared, love.

Seriously, you don't understand.

You don't understand.

These are f***ing horrible people.

I was scared.

What happens now?

There's a hearing and, em...

...they're going to move me.

They might move me, they said.

Where?

I don't know.

It's just too much.

It's just getting too much, this.

I'm sorry.

I hate this.

You hate it?

Has he actually scored a goal yet?

I don't know.

I don't think he has.

Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!

Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!

Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!

CHANTING AND SHOUTING CONTINUES

OK, boys.

We're here again, aren't we?

So what happened?

Robert? What happened at playtime?

Sean got in a fight.

Did he?

You didn't get in a fight then?

No, I tried to break it up.

Oh, right. Sean?

Well, someone said...

something nasty about my dad.

Did they? And so what did you do?

Had a fight.

And what should you have

done about it?

Told a grown-up.

OK. We've spoken about this before,

haven't we?

This is the last time

I want to see you in here, Robert.

Do you understand? Do you?

Sean? Do you understand?

Yeah.

Yeah, Sean did it.

Do you like it?

Kids did it up for you last night.

They were so excited,

they couldn't sleep.

Do you want a cup of tea?

New telly?

Yeah. It was cheap.

Doesn't look cheap.

Sometimes in water colours,

if you go too far,

the paper will get too wet.

You'll make holes in it.

Shall we see if we can put it right?

If we take that piece off, and then

you can put the yellow piece in.

In the morning, evening,

by day or by night

Always be my helper, Amen.

We made a volcano explode,

we used bicarbonated of soda,

vinegar and red food dye.

Wow. That sounds great.

Yeah, and it shot right up

and then it sprinkled over the side.

Hey, I like the signs

that you made for me.

Yeah, we put balloons up as well.

I know, I saw, I felt like I was

a soldier coming home from the war.

And we got you a cake.

Oh, Shaun!

You always spoil everything.

That was a surprise for Dad!

Whoops.

Come on, Shaun.

Hey!

How are you doing?

How are you? You OK?

Missed four of your birthdays.

And you get to cut the cake,

as well.

Oh, thank you. Come here.

Everybody on it. OK, ready?

Hang on.

Make a wish.

Make a wish, OK.

Ready. After three.
