- Cocktails?

- Do it.

Stay back!

Shaun, hold them!

Heads!

- Ed!

- Hurry up!

Shauny, look who it is.

F***-a-doodle-doo!

Ed!

- Shaun!

- Ed!

Don't groan at me, you thick f***!

I can't hold them!

No!

- Shaun!

- Pete!

I said leave him alone!

Ed. Ed!

Shaun, bar!

Ed!

Ed!

Ed!

What?

Chuck us a cloth, will you?

- Where are the shells?

- They're on the bar.

Oh, f***.

Ow!

F*** it!

What are we gonna do?

Where are we gonna go?

- The cellar.

- Maybe we can get out!

- There's a hatch out on to the street.

- You mean go back outside?

Oh, give us a f***in' break!

Go!

I can see the street.

Come on.

Come on!

Why won't it open?

That's it then, we're trapped.

"Hey, let's go to the Winchester!"

Whose f***in' idea was that?

Man, I've really ballsed this up.

- No, you haven't.

- I have, Liz. I couldn't save us.

I couldn't save Di or David.

I couldn't even save Mum. I'm useless.

You shouldn't feel so responsible, you tried.

You did something, that's what counts.

Yeah, I suppose.

Do you think they'll get through?

Yeah.

How many shells have we got left?

Erm... two.

I suppose we could take a few of them out

if they stand in a line.

I wasn't thinking about them.

I know.

- What about Ed? There's only two shells.

- I don't mind being eaten.

How are we gonna do this?

I don't know. Erm...

One of us has to go first.

One should do the other

and then do themselves.

You should do me.

I'll muck it up if I have to do myself.

I don't think I've got it in me

to shoot my flatmate,

my mum and my girlfriend

all in the same evening.

What makes you think I've taken you back?

Well...

you don't want to die single, do you?

Actually... I would like to be shot.

Besides, I've changed. I haven't had a fag

since yesterday, I promise.

He hasn't.

Maybe we should have one now.

- You left them in my flat.

- Yeah, in the bin.

- I was desperate.

- Sneaky monkey.

- Sorry.

- I won't say anything.

Come on, we're getting out of here.

- I mightjust stay here.

- But we can get out.

- You two should make a go of it.

- What are you talking about?

- I only hold you back.

- Yeah, but...

Maybe you should have this.

- Don't you want it?

- No.

I can't hit anything with it anyway,

I'm rubbish.

- Ed, I'm sorry.

- What for?

- Cos I was shouting at you earlier on.

- It's all right.

I'm sorry too.

It's OK.

No...

I'm sorry, Shaun.

Oh, God! That's not funny.

- I'll stop doing 'em when you stop laughing.

- I'm not laughing.

You'd better be off.

Bye, Ed. Love you.

Cheers.

I love you too, man.

Gay.

- Ready?

- Ready.

Section One. Ready.

Zombies to your front. Fire!

Fire!

Oh, my God! Shaun!

Yvonne?

- How are you doing?

- Surviving.

They're taking us somewhere safe.

I thought you two might want to tag along.

Is itjust the two of you?

Well, glad somebody made it.

Come on.
