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
- Dad!
You let him get lucky with you
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,
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.
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.
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 said something.
I did.
All that stuff about the future?
And I told you that it scared me.
I thought it was what you wanted.
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,
Thought that I'd be happy
Gonna be so happy
Living life alone
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.
