"Once there were three baby owls,

Sarah and Percy and Bill. "

Aye, aye, here's some owl babies.

Did you start without us?

Not at all. OK.

Are you ready?

Yeah.

"They lived in a hole in the trunk

of a tree with their owl mother.

"The hole had twigs and leaves

and owl feathers in it.

"It was their house.

"One night they woke up

and their owl mother was gone.

"'Where's Mummy? ' asked Sarah.

"'Oh, my goodness,' said Percy,

'I want my mummy,' said Bill. "

I like Bill, he's my favourite.

Is he?

He's funny.

"The baby owls thought -

all owls think a lot. "

Robert, come on.

Are you coming with me?

Where?

Take the kids to school?

Oh, Karen,

When you've done your first drawing,

Hello, mate.

All right.

We don't like it?

Eat it.

You won't get ice cream

at the beach.

Oh, it's hot.

I don't like it either.

Yeah, but you've got to eat it.

Don't like it.

Neither do I.

It's good for you,

you should eat it.

What's wrong with it, Shaun?

I don't like it.

I never have.

GIGGLING:

Come on, Shaun.

I don't like it.

Well, just eat some of the mash,

and some of the carrots.

Come on, you can eat it.

I don't like it, it's not very nice.

Well, if you're going

to be a policeman one day,

you've gotta eat these things.

Your sister's eaten hers.

She's a big girl.

Want to do a bit more of this?

Is Shaun all right?

He's fine. Gets upset easily.

Let's go this way.

This way.

Now which way?

My bucket's a bit heavy.

Because you've got loads of sand in.

Oh, Robert. Don't.

What are you going to do?

Build some sandcastles?

Yeah.

Robert!

It wasn't me.

Wasn't me either,

I don't know who it was.

All right, let's go to the sea.

Come. Come.

Yeah, oi, don't push me.

I'll race you.

Wait for me.

# I would do my part

# Yet what I can, I give him

# Give my heart. #

Hey!

Hello, my darling. How are you?

You sure? They're nice, aren't they?

Yeah. You've not left

many, have you?

I like the decorations.

Yeah.

It looks great.

How long did that take you?

About an hour.

An hour?

Yeah.

We bought them yesterday.

They've all got their own star.

That's my one, over there.

The red one.

Oh, yeah.

Mine's pink and silver.

Of course it is, darling.

Have you done your Christmas

lists and all that?

Yes.

Your list was really big, Shaun.

Man... woman, man... woman,

Man, woman, man, woman,

# I hope she won't be

knocking at my door... #

Undo your coats.

Oi, oi!

Hey, man! How are you?

Good to see you.

Hello, mate.

Your hair, it's soaking.

to be dropped off... #

I don't recognise anybody.

From the bad old days?

Cheers.

Thank you very much.

Oh, I'm Ian by the way.

I'm Kay.

Hiya, Kay.

# You knew deep down

it would always end... #

Be with you in five minutes.

Four kids, mate.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

All right, mate.

Hi, mate.

Yeah, do you want another drink?

Er... yeah, go on,

I'll have a Guinness.

Pint of Guinness when you're ready.

Thanks. How did you find it?

What?

The stretch?

Ah, man,

it was f***ing mad.

Come and dance with me.

OK.

Cheers, man. All right?

Cheers, bro. Take it easy.

# The look of love

# Is saying so much more

# Than just words could ever say

# And what my heart has heard

# Well, it takes my breath away

# I can hardly wait to hold you

# Feel my arms around you

# How long I have waited

# Waited just to love you

# Now that I have found you

# You've got the look of love... #

You OK?

I hated when you were away.

Yeah...

...so did I.

I'm back now babe, so...

I was so lonely.

I know.

I was seeing someone for a wee

while when you were away.

Just in case anyone says anything.

Nothing.

I was...

What do you mean?

You saw somebody for a while?

Yeah.

You had an affair?

Who was it?

No-one.

Who was it?

Eddie.

Eddie?

Are you f***ing kidding me?

No.

Are you f***ing kidding me, Karen?

What?

No, please.

No! You were f***ing seeing

Eddie while I was away?

Yeah.

How long for? How long for?

I don't know. I don't know.

Is this a f***ing joke?

No, no...

I don't know...

You were seeing Eddie?!

Yeah. But it's nothing.

It was nothing.

Nothing? It was f***ing nothing?

Sssh!

Why are you telling me then?

The kids are asleep.

'F***ing hell! '

'F***ing Eddie?! '

'No! '

Where did you f*** him?

Did you f*** him in my bed?

No. No.

Did you f*** him in my bed?
