he loves her, he loves her

Jean, Oh, Jean

You let him get lucky with you

- Jean, Oh, Jean

- Oh, Jean!

You let him get lucky with you

- Jean, Oh, Jean

You let him get lucky with you

He loves her,

he loves her, he loves her

He loves her,

he loves her, he loves her

He loves her,

he loves her, he loves her

He loves her,

he loves her, he loves her

Could you borrow me a tenner?

Your dad'll have it.

- There you go.

- Thank you. Thank you so much.

Come on, Ally. Come on.

He loves her,

he loves her, he loves her

He loves her,

he loves her, he loves her

It was one night.

It wasn't meant to happen.

She was going away.

We were just saying goodbye.

You wanted to give her

something to remember you by.

It wasn't like that.

- Did you know?

- Know what?

- About this girl?

- No. No.

I knew nothing until that arrived.

It's 25 years ago, Jean.

We were married, Rab.

We'd made our vows.

What can I say?

What can I do?

Tell me.

I want you to get out of my sight.

I don't wanna look at you.

25 years, Rab.

25 years of what?

Ladies and gentlemen, can I have

your attention for a minute, please?

- Oh, my God. What's he doing?

- Thank you.

Now, we all know who we're here

to celebrate tonight. Rab and Jean.

I don't know

where they've gone.

But I'd like to do

some celebrating of my own.

So I need to ask someone a question.

Liz, I don't know what

the next 25 years is gonna bring us,

but I do know I want

to spend 'em with you.

Liz Henshaw,

will you do me the honour

of becoming my wife?

I can't.

I can't. Ally, I can't.

I'm so sorry. I'm sorry.

I'd better go after her.

Wee man, I hope you kept

the receipt for that.

It's just a joke.

It's a joke, man.

It was just a joke, man.

- What did you say to me?

- What?

Who are you?

- Calm down. Control yourself.

- I'm not taking that from anybody.

- Just leave it. Back off.

- Leave me alone, Davy.

Hey, you, think you're

a big man, do you?

Do you want me to kill you?

Do you want me to break you pal?

Hit me again

and find out what happens.

- Yvonne. Yvonne.

- Let's go.

- Who are you?

- You saw what happened.

- Liz. Lizzie.

- You cannae do that, Ally.

You should have warned me.

Would that have stopped you

walking out on me?

- What was I supposed to do?

- You were supposed to say yes.

Come on. Come on.

We're going home. Come on.

I'll put the kettle on.

You not going to work?

You sick or something?

I could skip school.

We could play the Xbox

or go down to the park if you want.

See you later, then, Ally.

See you.

You should have said.

I would have done the shopping.

It's done now.

How was work?

You want a cup of tea?

Stop acting as if

nothing's happened.

What do you want me to say?

I made a mistake.

It was a long time ago.

Do you think there's an expiry date

on these things,

that after a while

you can't be held responsible?

No, what I'm saying is

we've been through a lot in that time

and I think that you should

remember some of that stuff.

That makes it worse,

knowing that this thing's

been there all that time,

like a wee tumour

poisoning everything.

Why do we stay together?

What do you mean?

What if it's just habit?

What if it's 'cause we're

too frightened to do anything else?

No, you don't believe that.

I don't know anymore.

We'll get through this.

I promise you, we will

get through it. We'll sort it.

I don't want you to see her again.

- You mean Eilidh.

- I don't want to hear her name.

I don't want to have to think

about her or her mother.

Even

- She's my daughter.

- Don't you dare.

This is my family.

She's not part of it.

- I will not allow it.

- You want me just to cut her off?

You hardly know her.

No. No, I can't do that.

It's not her fault.

Then she's all you'll be left with.

I like the smell of perfume

I love the taste of booze

But I hate my love for you

Yeah, I hate my love for you

I like Johnny Cash

Singing 'A Boy Named Sue'

But I hate my love for you

Yeah, I hate my love for you

Yeah, I hate my love for you

Most of all

You should have warned me.

You should have said something.

I did.

All that stuff about the future?

We spoke about it.

And I told you that it scared me.

I thought it was what you wanted.

Why would you think that?

Because you said

it's what everybody wanted.

For God's sake, Ally.

We have a great time together.

I love being with you.

You're my best pal.

That doesn't mean

I'm ready to march down the aisle.

You've gotta settle down sometime.

I don't want to settle.

- You don't wanna settle for me.

- That's not what I meant.

So what do you want? What is it

that you want that's so much better?

I want the world.

Ally, you know,

I want sunshine and skyscrapers.

Languages I don't understand.

Music I've never heard before.

It sounds like a travel brochure.

- Don't laugh at me.

- It hurts, doesn't it?

I'll talk to you later, OK?

No.

What else have we

got to talk about?

You don't mean that.

I don't want to be your pal, Liz.

Yvonne, we need to talk.

- I've got nothing to say to you.

- Then listen.

I know it looked bad

and it was bad.

- But it's not what you think.

- Leave me alone, Davy.

You're jumping to conclusions

and I understand why.

But I promise you,

I would never hurt you.

Thought that I'd be happy

Gonna be so happy

Living life alone

and never sharing anything

Thought that I was finished

Thought that I was complete

Thought that I was whole

instead of being half of something

Thought that I was growing

Growing older, wiser

Understanding why this world

held nothing for my spirit

Thought that I was destined

Destined to be nothing

Destined to be nothing in this world

and then I met you

I met you

I met you

I met you

I met you

- Maybe I just expect too much.

- Maybe you just expect the worst.

- You scared me.

- I know. I'm sorry.

- Thought the book was written

- Thought the game had ended

Thought the song was sung

and I could never sing another

Thought I knew this city

Thought I knew all about it

And then one night I went to

Morningside and you were waiting

I met you

I met you

I met you

I met you

I met you

I met you

I met you

I met you

Have you chucked that job

at the call centre, then?

Thing is, Ally, you need to have

a think about what you're doing,

where you're going.

- You can't stay here.

- I'll sort something out.

It's not fair on the wee ones.

- They need their space.

- Chrissie!

I'll sort something out.

How are you doing, sweetheart?

He doesn't wanna see me any more.

He's just hurting, Lizzie.

- It's not your fault.

- I'm the one who turned him down.

You've gotta make your own mind

up about what's right for you.

Anybody that cares

about you will understand.

But what if...

What if what you want's

gonna hurt other people?

You cannae go along

with something for their sake.

It'll only make things

worse in the end.
