Happy-Go-Lucky

The Road To Reality.

Don't wanna be going there.

Hiya.

An oasis of calm in here, mad out there.

Gorgeous day for it, though, innit?

Never been in here before.

I like your hat.

Busy?

Hello?

Having a bad day?

No.

Oh. Not till I showed up, eh?

Look like a rabbit caught in the headlights.

I won't bite.

Don't worry, I'm going now.

Have a good day. Stay happy.

I ain't nicked nothing. Honest, guv'nor.

Beep, beep, beep, beep.

Oh, no, no, come on.

That's just brilliant, that is.

Oh, no, I didn't even get a chance|to say goodbye.

# You'll never get it right|cos when you're laid in bed at night

# Watching...roaches climb the wall

# If you called your dad he could stop it all

# You'll never live like common people

# You'll never do what common people do

# You'll never fail like common people

# You'll never watch your life slide out of view

# And dance and drink and screw

# Because there's nothing else to do

The music's stopped.

It stopped ages ago.

Yeah, I was just enjoying the silence.

What?

What's so funny?

I don't know!

Can you just...

Oh, your sister's woken up, Poppy.

Suzy, what's that?

What is it? Is that your latest conquest?

Oh, bless him!

Don't you ever pray that you're adopted, Suzy?

Oh, argh!

Yeah.

You got me, Zoe.

- Ssssh!|- Who are you shushing?

No, no, no, no, no, no.

She's right. Let's all enjoy the silence together.

Dawn, will you shut up?|Because no-one else can get a word in.

Ssssssh!

Sorry!

- Sssssh.|- Fingers on lips.

Fingers on the tits.

- Fingers on tits.|- Fingers on the hips.

Can I borrow yours?

- Fingers on the tits.|- Oh, that is properly disgusting.

Chicken fillets. Lunch, anyone?

- Oh, hello!|- Can I have a go?

Of course you can, Dawn, you don't need to ask.

- Anyone over there?|- Oh, I know where that's been.

You have gone down in my estimation.

I'm sorry, Alice.

- I don't get why you wear them, Poppy.|- Oh, don't you?

I mean, you just put them in your bra...

Yeah?

I like the way they make me feel, Suzy.

- Like a natural woman.|- That's right.

- I think it's in the wrong place.|- Ah, whoop!

Oh, look, you've got three tits!

She's like you, Zoe.

- No, that's three nipples.|- Oh, right.

Have you got three nipples?

She doesn't like to talk about it.|I'm going to give her a little hug.

- Over you go.|- Oh, that's quite nice. Do that again.

Oh, really? Oh!

Ooh!

Your cleavage looks great from up here.

- Thank you.|- I've got a bird's eye view.

Come on, ladies, cop a load of this.

Oh, yeah, roll up, roll up.

Look at that!

- It's good, isn't it?|- They're amazing.

Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no.

I think we know where Poppy's sleeping tonight.

Morning.

Time to get up, sleepyhead.

Cup of tea here.

Come on. You can do it.

That's it. That's it, nearly there.

Oh, here we go.

- And she's up! Hey.|- Thanks.

You all right?

Yeah, I slept good.

I heard you.

You always start that.

- I don't snore.|- I know. You never have.

- I don't.|- I don't.

- Are they still asleep?|- No, they buggered off ages ago.

- Did they?|- Yeah.

Oh, right.

- What's the time?|- About 10 past 12.

- They've got a bit of work to do.|- Have they?

- Dawn's late with her dissertation.|- Oh, no. When are your exams?

- Three weeks tomorrow.|- You'll be all right.

Yeah. I'm totally chilled out about it.

Of course you are.

- I'm cool.|- Yeah.

I'm just really stressed.

What? Like an Eskimo with a headache?

- Does anyone want any toast?|- Yeah.

- Yes, please.|- With marmalade, two slices.

Yeah, I know, cut on the diagonal.

- Yeah.|- No crusts.

- Got it. Oh, do you know what?|- What?

- Oh, yeah.|- She's gone.

The thing is, we're starting with criminal justice.

- Is that your first exam?|- Yeah, it's crap.

If we had cyber crime first,|or, like, crime and pleasure,

I could ease myself into it.

- No probs.|- Oh, you'll be all right, Suzy.

Yeah, if we can get a degree, any idiot can.

- You calling your sister an idiot?|- Calling you an idiot.

Thank you.

"Crime and pleasure", now that sounds good.

- Sounds like last night.|- Yeah.

You'll be all right.

Yeah.

- See you later.|- Alligator.

- When are we going to see Helen?|- Yeah, when's the baby due?

Don't know, soon. She's been texting me.

- Me too, she's getting worse.|- I know, bless her.

- Want to wait till after your exams?|- I want to get it over with.

All right. Don't worry, leave her to me.

- Text me, yeah?|- Work hard.

Suze... you know it's that way, don't you?

Oh, yeah.

- These make good legs?|- Great.

# I'm so excited...

- It would be amazing to fly, wouldn't it?|- You reckon?

Just... whoosh!

- What? Like Mr Vertigo?|- Oh, yeah. I love that book.

- Yeah.|- Oh, vultures.

- Met a few of them.|- These could be useful.

Oh, yeah, they're great.|Oh, look at him, he's gorgeous.

We could do an owl, they've got big heads.

Good idea. He's got your eyes, look.

- Cheers, Poppy.|- No, they're lovely.

Do penguins emigrate?

What? Do they move to the Costa del Sol?

Emigrate, migrate, whatever.

- What about parrots?|- Oh, yeah, definitely.

- Or a toucan. Oh, look at his beak.|- They're good colours.

Beautiful.

So, are you going to get another bike?

Oh, no, I couldn't replace my old lovely.|It's flown the nest now.

Definitely going to learn to drive, though.

- Going to book lessons?|- Might do.

Might not.

I told you, you're not learning to drive in my car.

Nutter.

- Chickens, we could do chickens.|- Chickens don't fly.

Lazy buggers.|What are we going to make, then?

- I don't know. What do you think?|- I don't know.

- Where are they?|- Here.

- That far apart, are they?|- Yeah. Don't poke me.

Wasn't going near you.

- Go on, then.|- Great.

You should ask an adult to help you.

I don't know any.

- I think they're quite good.|- Yeah, what do you reckon?

- I think we could pull in these.|- Definitely.

- Pub?|- Yeah, hair of the dog.

I'm ready. Put a bit of lippy on and away we go.

- Hi, Liz.|- Hi, Zoe. How are you?

Ooh.

Didn't expect that one!

Morning, Tina.

Birds that live here in North America,|they fly all the way to South America.

Yeah?

That's a journey and a half, isn't it?

But the... the biggest journey of them all|is of the arctic tern.

Because he flies from the Arctic...

Yeah? ...all the way - wow,|across the world - to the South Pole.

Isn't that incredible?

From the North to the South Pole|and that is... ssh!

And that is 9,300 miles. That's right.

Wow, wow.

All right, Nick, do the other side now.

Here we go, look. No, don't pull it out.

What we can do... Shall we give him...|Shall we give him a few bits?

Do you want to give him... I like that, I like that.

- Shall we give him one here?|- No.

No?

He's got eyebrows, look.

- Yeah?|- Let me see.

I think that's brilliant. That's brilliant.

Here we go.

Shall I put some more yellow in that?|There we go.

What colours do you think|your feathers could be?

See, you could do a rainbow colour.|That's a good idea, isn't it?

- I did a rainbow.|- Do a rainbow. Rainbows like parrots.
