Yeah, of course.
- Do you want a cup of tea?
- Yes, please.
- You all right then?
- Smashing.
Have you been working
down this way?
Yeah.
On the back of Tower Bridge.
If I'd known you was coming,
I'd have warmed up the seat.
It's warm enough
I should think.
Does Monica know
you've come round here?
No. I didn't know
I was coming meself.
- She's okay then?
- Yeah, she's fine.
She's busy
with the house.
What doing? I thought it was supposed
to be a new house, you said.
- Stenciling.
- What, drawing?
No.
Stencils on the wall.
Decorating. You must've
seen it in magazines.
It's very effective.
Roxanne not in then?
She's got some bloke in tow.
- Has she?
- Shifty-looking bleeder.
- Walks like a crab.
- Hmm.
- Your tea's there.
- Ta.
- Do you want a sandwich?
- No, thanks.
- So she's all right?
- I only see her first thing in the morning.
She comes in, grunts,
then buggers off to work.
- You should be glad she's got a fella.
- I am glad, Maurice.
I want her to be happy.
But I'd like her to bring him 'round,
see who she's knocking about with.
- Just give her a bit of time.
- You used to bring your girlfriends home...
Front of the telly,
laugh, drink.
You didn't mind
me sittin' there, did you?
What's her name?
Never stopped talking.
- Tina.
- Tina.
And the other one,
wouldn't open her mouth.
- Maxine.
- That's it.
Dad liked her, didn't he?
Nice thighs.
So how's work then?
Still at the same place?
Yeah.
her birthday. It's her 21st, Maurice.
- August the 7th.
- I don't know what she wants...
apart from me under a bus.
- That's silly talk.
- Me head in the oven.
- When you gonna come and see us then?
- Eh?
You know,
a bit of a get-together.
Come on Roxanne's birthday.
We'll have some champagne.
What about Monica?
- She'll be there.
- No. Won't she mind?
No. It was her idea actually.
Oh.
- How do you fancy a barbecue?
- If you like.
Anyway, it's about time
you saw the house.
- Thought you was never gonna ask.
- I'm asking you now.
- Ya been there nearly a 12-month.
- Tell Roxanne.
She'll say no
just to spite me.
Yeah. Well,
I demand her presence.
- Tell her.
- What if she wants to bring him?
- Has he gotta job, this bloke?
- Scaffolding, she says.
Ahhh.
It's very well-paid.
- Is it?
- Yep.
Twenty-one.
I can't believe it, Maurice.
I was carryin' her
when I was 21, wasn't I?
You was good with nappies.
Those safety pins though.
Never stabbed her though,
did you, darlin'?
- Stabbed meself a couple of times.
- Seventeen, weren't you?
I was.
Place is still standin',
isn't it?
Not for much longer.
You should see Dad's room.
- What's up with it?
- It's like the Niagara Falls up there.
- What, it's got a leak?
- Yeah.
Only when it's rainin'.
I'll have a look.
Nice to have a man
about the place.
Wish I'd known
you was comin'.
It's dry at the moment.
The whole lot's
gonna come down.
Does look a bit dodgy,
I'll have to admit.
- You up-to-date on the rent?
- Course I am.
Give him a ring. Get him to do something
about it. It's his responsibility.
Don't be daft, Maurice.
He don't give a toss, does he?
I'll get someone to look at it.
I'll pay.
Look at all this junk.
What you gonna do with it?
Give us a cuddle, Maurice.
Please, sweetheart!
Why have you left it
so bloody long?
Well, you know,
it-it's work and all that.
There's nothing the matter
with your dialing finger.
- You can ring me.
- You're always too busy, ain't ya?
Look, um... See here.
Sit yourself down.
You're the only one
I've got, Maurice.
You love me, don't ya?
Hold me tight,
Maurice, please.
Sweetheart!
My little brother.
Look at you.
It's a good life for ya.
When are you
gonna shave, eh?
Slap your arse.
Why don't you
chuck it all out, eh?
I mean, look at it.
Some of it hasn't been touched
since Mum died.
Can you use anything, Maurice,
in your new house?
Fill a space?
No, thanks.
Thought I might
move in here.
Front view.
See the world go by.
Remember this?
Yeah.
Now it's no use
to you, is it?
I don't think so.
You ain't gonna make me
an auntie now, are ya?
Sweetheart?
Listen, Cynth...
I... b-bet...
better be going.
You'll let me know about the barbecue
then, will you, sweetheart?
Yeah, of course I will. Tell her if she
can't make it, I'll give her a clump.
- Not before I do.
- Hang on.
- Shall I say hello to Monica for you?
- If you like, sweetheart.
- There you go.
- Thanks, darlin'.
- See ya.
- Ta-ta.
What was your mum like
when your dad died?
- What do you mean?
- How did she cope?
I don't know.
Too young to remember.
She just got on with it, I suppose,
like everybody else.
Did you have to
look after Craig?
What, you mean like your big sister
looked after you?
No, I did not.
My dad never said a word
about my mum after she died.
- That's men for you.
- I hated him for it.
He must have been
in real pain.
Maybe just couldn't share it.
I didn't know what I felt.
I still don't.
Cynthia's antics
couldn't have helped him much.
- Do you miss Craig?
- Why would I miss Craig?
- He's your brother.
- He's in Saudi Arabia, isn't he?
Yeah.
Well, I don't
exactly miss him.
Why?
Do you miss Cynthia?
Do you think Roxanne's serious
about this scaffolder bloke?
Well, she's only known him
for five minutes.
Mind you, I was married
at her age, wasn't I?
- Yeah.
- I wonder if she knows.
What, about us?
- What's there to know about us?
- You know what I mean.
How would she know about that...
unless you've told her.
- I haven't told her.
- I hope Cynthia doesn't know either.
She doesn't.
That's all right then.
No, I meant if she knows about Cynthia...
You know, before she was born.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I mean, she's got a half-brother
or a half-sister, knockin' about somewhere.
- She's got a right to know.
- That's up to Cynthia.
You'd never say anything,
would you?
- Of course not.
- Good.
Anyway, she must have
told her.
She never told her
who her father was.
None of us knew
who he was.
I wonder
if she ever misses him.
- Who?
- Roxanne.
- You can't miss what you've never had.
- Can't you?
I was gonna kill him.
- Poor Cynthia.
- Saint Cynthia.
- She tried her best.
- Did she?
Yeah.
Yeah, she did.
She gave me a lot of love.
- What shall I tell him if he phones then?
- Who?
- Maurice.
- I don't know. Tell him what you want.
- Are you gonna bring your bloke or not?
- No, I ain't.
- Have you asked him?
- No!
Hello?
- That will be him now.
- Hello?
- Let me talk to him.
- Shut it!
Well, there ain't
no one there.
- One of them perverts.
- Sweetheart?
Oh, will you stop going on
about this f***ing barbecue?
You're going to see him now,
ain't you? You can ask him.
I don't even know
if I want him to go...
and it ain't
for ages anyway.
See you later.
- "I, Zoe,
- "I, Zoe...
- "take you, Darren,
