So this is goodbye?

Yes.

I'm sorry.

Me too.

It doesn't have to

be like this.

Everything has a life.

It lives. It dies. It's life.

That isn't life. That's

death you're describing.

I'll always love you.

That's not the love I need.

It's all I have.

She said I looked like

Annie Lennox.

I mean, that's

really bizarre.

And then they said to do it--

something like--

Do it like in Mexican--

or like Mexican soap--

I just found the whole thing--

It just-- It threw me--

Ugh, I don't know.

It's hard to say.

Maybe it's just all too soon.

Being that late

probably didn't help.

True.

Maybe you need a holiday.

You just need

to keep busy.

Are you still going to

Glastonbury?

Um, I don't know. Maybe.

I think it could be fun.

You think?

Yeah!

Everyone off their heads

on drugs,

sloshing around in the mud.

Sounds horrible.

Well, it's better than

staying here, moping.

Moping?

Oh, come on.

Charlie was a drug addict.

they don't have any room for

anything else in their lives.

We all knew it

was gonna happen--

I didn't.

Yeah, well...

What is wrong with you?

I didn't mean it like that.

I was just saying--

He actually thought

that you were his friend.

Come on, I didn't--

I was only just saying...

I didn't mean it like that.

Oh, Felix...

I didn't mean it like that.

I was-- It's just obvious.

Why's everybody so sensitive?

What?

We could've gone with Lulu.

Why didn't you tell us before?

I'm not telling you.

I'm telling Felix.

I'm kind of fond of

hot and cold running water.

Does your mother still have

that place near Nice.

Yeah, why?

But everyone's gone

to Glastonbury!

I just thought it would

be more appropriate.

F*** appropriate.

That's very rock 'n' roll

of you.

Come on, Benny,

we'll have fun.

It's not going to be fun.

F***ing Orna.

Orna? Orna...

Alice.

Hey.

Have you seen Saskia?

No, I haven't seen anyone.

Hey, uh, can I

ask you something?

Yes, yes, you can.

Doesn't it bother you?

You know,

Saskia and other guys?

I mean, you hear about these

crimes of passion,

where the guy goes crazy

or whatever...

I know it's not normal, but...

Nothing. It just doesn't

bother me.

You in love?

Yeah... Yeah.

You know what?

I think I am in love.

But I think I just don't want

to be alone, you know?

I think I could love anyone.

I fall in love every day.

Anyway, whatever...

What about you?

Well, I loved Charlie.

Which... is kind of sad.

You've gotta be kidding.

Relax.

Just... enjoy it.

# Wake up, sonny

# School is cancelled

for the day #

# The disco box is good

The disco box is good #

# They found him at the tracks

# Put a bullet in his head

# The disco box is good

The disco box is good #

# Don't you know?

# I guess you don't

# Let's have

# A party

# A party to remember

# The good times

# And all those

years of pleasure #

# It's okay, they finally

gone and did it #

# A party

# It never will come back

# A party,

a party to remember #

# The good times

# And all those

years of pleasure #

# It's okay, they finally

gone and did it#

# A party for everyone

I mean, I think with a lot of

this stuff, uh...

you know, he was trying to

create something

that was slightly more singular,

you know?

That had more of a kind of

voice-- like a clear voice.

But... I don't know

whether he did or not.

What?

I didn't know Alice

was gonna be here.

And?

I haven't seen her since the

whole Charlie thing was--

Come on...

I'll see you at

the other thing, okay?

No, Felix!

Really.

Hey, you two.

Oh, hello!

Alice.

Marlon, you feeling

all right?

Uh, yes.

We had an embarrassing run-in

this morning.

Pharmacist got our prescriptions

messed up.

Do you want to maybe talk about

this another time?

Chlamydia's a b*tch.

I should know. My ex-husband

gave it to me four times.

All in the name of

full disclosure.

Sisters!

Hey, you really have to

make sure Saskia

takes a huge dose of that.

Otherwise you're just gonna keep

passing it back and forth,

and back and forth,

and around.

Um, I'm just gonna go and talk

to someone over there.

Okay.

Alice, I'm leaving soon. I'm

going to the the Placard party.

Um, yeah, sure. Okay.

Just give me a moment.

So...

Are you gonna come?

Argh. Uh, no.

I don't think I am.

I mean, you kind of told

everyone about my STDs,

ruined my evening,

so probably just gonna ham.

Yeah. If you must.

Hi.

Thanks.

You know, what I said about

Charlie before,

I really didn't mean anything.

It's cool. Maybe I was being

a bit over-sensitive.

I really cared for him.

Yeah.

He was my friend.

Yeah.

I don't think he really

wanted to... you know.

Well... I don't think

any of us

ever really knew

what he was thinking.

Yeah.

You been okay?

Yeah, I'm okay.

Okay.

Wait, it's too important.

There she is.

Okay, well, come on.

Sorry I'm late--

Shh!

Come on, spill it.

Okay, Orna just came round to my

house, and you know,

ordinarily, I thought she was,

like, totally made of stone.

Right, so she comes around, and

she completely breaks down.

What do you mean?

She was crying.

Orna?

Yeah.

You know how they all bailed on

us and went to Cap Ferra.

Well, it seems Benedict tried to

rape Orna while they were there,

like, wouldn't take no

for an answer.

Yeah, forced himself on her.

She's a total mess.

You know, I felt really,

really bad for her.

What about Felix?

Where was he?

Well, she hasn't

said anything to him.

I think she's

in shock or something.

He just said

they had sex.

Do you believe her?

Oh, my god!

What?

Do you remember that weird

soup/art party we all went to?

Yeah.

with his hands all over that

ghastly Russian clotheshorse,

and she seemed a bit

freaked out at the time.

I just thought, "Well, you know,

that's Benedict."

He had her pinned up

against the wall.

I don't know what would've

happened if I hadn't been there.

I slept with him.

What?!

What?!

Gross!

When?! You didn't tell me.

Oh, it was about a month ago.

I mean, it didn't really work.

He couldn't... you know.

Maybe he's a complete pervert,

and can only get it up

when it's by force.

This is Benedict

we're talking about.

He's our friend.

Weren't there rumours about his

father and little boys?

Oh, my god, I completely

remember that.

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

I mean, I don't think Benedict

could do that.

As creepy as he may be.

Did she call the police?

We should just

spread the word.

We can't let him

get away with this.

Well, who knows?

Nobody. I've just told Avi and

Imma. Oh, and maybe Paula.

F***!

How did you get in?

Come on. Get up.

We're going.

Where? What are you wearing?

To Cranmore.

Cran-- Am I supposed

to know this place?

I think... that you...

need to get up. Hm?

Miss him.

I know you do.

He was built to be missed.

What are you wearing?

A chicken.

It's a nice chicken.

Thanks.

Put on your clothes.

Everyone's waiting

in the car.

Oh, actually, before, will you

just do me a huge favour,

and give me my B12 shot.
