minded.

You don't mind what people

do to you, do you?

F***ing hell.

Don't know why that made me feel

all -

Sort of weird, it turned me on.

Being sick.

It's probably the gag reflex or

something like that.

Sorry did I get some on your

face?

I thought I had beer here but -

Do you think every human has

needs, Dan?

We haven't got any beers. I

thought I been out and got some

but I must have drunk them

before.

There's half an egg sandwich

there if you want it though.

Do you think that every

individual needs food,

sex,

love?

Of course. If you don't have all those

things, you're going to die, aren't you?

Would you die without love, Dan?

I'm too young to die.

Have you got anyone who loves

you?

Yes, of course I have. I've got my

mother, haven't I? She loves me.

- Does she?

- Yes, of course she does.

Mums love sons, that's how the

world works, innit?

Parents love their kids. Didn't you

know that? It's not rocket science.

This is all getting very

serious.

You're putting a downer on the

evening.

I was really looking forward to getting

back here and having some fun.

I tell you what, I'll put on a

bit of music for us.

What sort of stuff do you like?

Dirty dancing, do you know that

one?

Course I do, I'm not retarded.

What about Grease? I like Grease.

That always puts me in a good mood.

- A bit of summer lovin'.

- It's not summer, is it?

And you're not Olivia Newton-John.

You look more like Elton John.

Glass houses.

A right weird f***er you, aren't

you?

A strange bod.

Right, I tell you.

Here's one for you.

"I got it bad. You

don't know how bad I got it."

What's this song? You know it? I

love that f***ing tune.

It's one of my favourites.

"I got it bad. You don't know

how bad I got it."

"You got it easy. You don't

know when you got it good.

It's getting harder, just

keeping life and soul together.

I'm sick fighting, even though I

know I should."

"It's getting harder, just

keeping life and soul together.

Spirit is frozen to the core...

I don't wanna be here no more...

Do you want kids, Dan?

God! What's wrong with you?

What about kids?

What about them?

No, I f***ing hate kids,

they're annoying, they're small,

they get in the way of stuff.

I've got things to do with my

life.

Don't you want to share

your life with anyone?

No, not with kids, I don't.

I don't know.

I'm DJ Dan.

I'm at the fun -

the fun bus.

That's what I'm all about. Get

on there.

Let's stop fannying around

and let's have a look at your

fanny.

Let's have a little butchers at

what you're holding down there.

You're very selfish aren't you?

No, I'm not. How am I selfish?

We said we wanted the same thing

when we was back at there.

- You're selfish -

- Who are you?

F*** me, she's all I need.

I'm Paula.

Give me a second would you?

Sort this bag out.

Come on.

Come on, you. Let's just

get you to bed, shall we?

I've got to do the washing.

No you haven't. Last thing you need to

do at this time of night is the washing.

That's why I've got no clothes, you've

washed them all to bugger, ain't you?

Get in there, get in bed.

Finish your chores tomorrow.

This place is a sh*t tip. Get in bed, I

don't want to hear another word out of you.

You see. These are the sort of

people we're dealing with.

You never said your name was

Paula.

Where were we? I tell you what.

I cannot wait to see you naked.

Cramps your style a bit,

doesn't she.

No, she just lives here.

We get on, you know?

Oh yeah. You smell like a

stripper.

I f***ing love that smell.

F***ing slutty and dirty.

You're filth aren't you?

Do you always talk to her like

that?

Yeah, the sad thing is you know,

I'm an only child so

I get everything when she's gone

and that won't be too long. She's at that

moment and everything's going, you know?

I'm going to come at you

like a dog.

Do it.

You're bad ain't you. You're

a really bad girl.

Oh! Something moved down there.

That's not right.

Are you f***ing pregnant?

F***!

What you f***ing doing?

What've I done?

It's messy isn't it?

Relationships,

kids and responsibilities.

What would you know though?

You avoid all that, don't you?

Need a bit of bleach on there.

Who are you?

I'm Ruth.

So, let's get you into bed, mum?

I've got to do the washing.

Danny's run out of knickers.

Don't worry, I'll put the

washing on.

Aw, you're lovely,

you're an angel.

Michelle.

- Yeah.

- I think you should leave Danny.

You're too good for him,

Michelle.

I know.

Come on, let's get you in.

Pop your feet in then.

- Thank you.

- Nice and cosy. Got your teddy.

Thank you.

Do you not want a hot chocolate

or anything?

No, thank you. I'll go to sleep

now.

Alright

Good night, darling.

Ungrateful bastard.

- You're getting better at this.

- Do you think so?

Oh yes

I do too

I think I'm changing.

Into something else.

It's because of you.

I'm tired.

Knock, knock...

Don't do anything.

It's you who needs to act Ruth.

Remember.

Remember what they did...

They're out there.

The rest of them.

They cut my daddy down in his

prime.

With only a thought for

themselves.

People think babies are sweet.

But I'm bitter.

Hello, good evening.

Hi, I'm here to see Ella

Harding.

Thanks so much. Could you

tell me what floor she's on?

She's on the second floor.

These people.

They make decisions

about who survives

and who dies.

Some of them

are women.

Oh yes.

We can be the worst.

The coldest.

The most merciless.

The most

ruthless.

Any questions, just...

Hang on.

Okay sorry. Take your time.

To be honest,

I don't know what we were

thinking.

Thanks for seeing me by the way

so late in the day.

It's not because it's the

end of the day...

Siobhan.

Is it this? Is it the pregnancy?

Not directly.

- But it's a tricky decision for a company.

- I understand.

I mean you'd be taking your maternity leave

as soon as you've unpacked your stapler.

- Which isn't a problem per se.

- What is the problem per se?

I just - well I don't know,

I just don't...

Maybe I've got a wrong star sign

or something.

Yeah, you're not a Virgo are

you?

No, listen.

We've clients come in and I'm

not like this

but we have clients come in and

they're so stupid.

They'll be thinking stuff like -

is she going to turn up at the courtroom or is

she going to be off giving birth in a teepee?

You know, stuff like that.

- People are such idiots.

- Yeah, I guess I was being a bit naive.

- We need the money.

- Well it's a cutthroat world.

Yeah.

I've actually had to make cuts

already, very, very harsh cuts.

And it's been awful,

really awful.

I told you -

she's a merciless, frigid b*tch.

Anyway, sorry but I've got to

get on.

Do you always work late,

alone?

Yes.

Well I've got my priorities.

Don't you do anything else?

Well of course.

Well

I've got a dog.

Walk him.

Do my food shop - I've got to

eat.

I go on an odd activity weekend.

I don't take them seriously

or anything, but...
