It was in this huge arena with hundreds of thousands of people watching.

Um, anyone know...

Yeah, he's a friend of mine, he's coming up.

Oh, yeah, yeah, that's...yeah.

You haven't met Anna, have you, Elisabetta?

Hello, hi.

An old schoolfriend of Verena's.

Elisabetta's a counsellor, and our neighbour.

Verena's still sleeping off the effects of last night.

Did we disturb you?

Not at all.

Bye.

See you later.

MUSIC:
"Set You Free" by N-Trance

Yeaaaaah!

Badge, come on, we're going.

ENGINE REVVING WILDLY

- No, no, no, listen to me...

- No, no, no, I'll find my own way.

- Listen to me, no, listen to me...

- We'll follow you or...

- It's about six miles...

- It's going to be fine, thanks, Dad.

Anna, come with us.

No, no, I think you should come with us, it doesn't make sense...

If you get lost, on your own head be it.

Come with us, it will be much cooler in our car.

- There's no air-con in there.

- Sorry, Arch.

See you there.

Yes, come with us.

Come on, jump in.

Very good hat, Anna. Like it.

THEY TALK INAUDIBLY

It's like the bottom of the river. It's like the bottom of the river.

Badge is being a spoilsport, Badge is being a spoilsport.

LAUGHTER:

No, Charlie!

SHOUTING AND LAUGHTER

Coming!

Ha, ha, ha!

Get 'em! Get Charlie off me!

No, Charlie, don't!

LAUGHTER:

OK!

Still the same...

Ah, none on me!

Ha, ha, ha!

LAUGHTER IN BACKGROUND

BANGING:

- Have you brown sugar?

- Brown sugar, that's what we need.

All right, OK, OK, OK. Where's John?

- Search for the camera.

- Try the back.

- There we go!

Found some.

This is a nightmare!

- Ooh!

- Arch.

- Keep your hair out.

- Watch out, she'll jump you.

- Full of infinite subtlety.

- He's got them.

Very good.

Very good. Father, son, getting it right.

LAUGHTER:

- Very good.

- Fancy a whisky, George?

- Yes.

Yes, I'll have one of those, Arch. Thank you.

The big boys off the whisky. Arr!

Come on. Let's keep it going.

- Verena?

- Mmm?

- Are you happy to play without your fellow olds?

No, I think I might go and join them for a little...

- a little nightcap.

- Probably for the best, very good.

- I'll see you later.

- Good night.

- Come on, let's think of something good.

- Psychiatrist's chair again?

- No, no, no, let's whack some tunes on.

- OK, well whack them on loud.

- OK, yes. Of course.

- Screw your health.

Let's pump it.

- Where it is it?

- It's in my room.

LOUD MUSIC:

- Woo!

- Yes!

Whoa!

SCREAMING:

Oh, my God!

- Anna!

- That is my meaning!

- Badge wants to see me naked, everybody.

- No!

Out of the pool.

- He does this every night.

- It's different though, isn't it?

- Anna...

- SHE LAUGHS

- Oh, my God.

- I'm really sorry about that.

Now I've lost all respect for you.

Passes orange and now this.

Go on! Go on!

He decided to do it. It's a small but important difference.

- Feel better?

- Yeah.

- And then there was one! Ha, ha, ha!

- Exactly.

Yeah.

- Got to be in it to win it.

- Yes.

- You've got to shoot to score.

Damn right.

Oh, that's good, that...

This feels like another stake-out, doesn't it?

- Ha, ha, ha!

- Last stand. Exactly.

I'm getting cold.

- Yeah.

- It was so impromptu.

Look at this. LAUGHTER

Careful you don't tread on any toads on your way in.

What, you're still looking?!

- I'll just be a minute.

- See you.

- Bye.

You guys are such perverts.

SHOWER STARTS:

There you go.

- Cigarette?

- No.

Sure?

OK.

- There you go.

- Bad influence, Son.

- Cheers.

- What's with the bonding?

- Cheers.

- Good times had by all.

- What is Dad doing?

- Charlie was funny.

It was embarrassing.

Did anyone ever play the ash game, or is that just me?

No, Archie. I think that's just you, actually.

Actually, I have played the game,

to come to Archie's defence, for once.

- Yes?

- And it's rubbish...

- LAUGHTER

- ..an Archie classic.

- Look, it depends who you're playing it with.

You liked psychiatrist chat, come on. You liked it.

They're not some weird species.

Well, you know, Alex, you can be so chippy.

Well...

Look...

Being here is good for me.

- If you asked me last time you said if I had a cigarette...

- You smoked mine!

ARGUING CONTINUES

Thanks a lot. So you can't have fun with me and Charlie and George?

You're only our oldest friend.

Well, MY oldest friend, anyway.

- Don't be silly.

- All the bother I went to to get your ticket sorted, you know...

I'm not being silly.

It's just that things have been a bit difficult at home.

You know, it's just nice just to...

What's the matter with... You know, there's always something wrong.

I asked you what was going on with Alex, you haven't told me anything.

You don't sit up and talk to me, you don't want to come in the car with me. I...

That is so mad!

Ohhh!

- With the mid black, maybe with a colour.

- Uh-huh.

- What size?

- Um, I only know my English size.

- In English?

- 36B.

- Yes.

And I have panty or string. What do you prefer?

Um, I think panty.

- Medium. Huh?

- Yeah.

- That looks great. Can I try them on?

- I have...

I don't remember in English.

- Um, oh, very nice!

- Will you wear this?

Mmm, I think I'll stick with these, thank you.

CHURCH BELLS TOLL

THEY LAUGH, WHOOP AND CHEER

- Did the pizza, I did the drinks...

- You got ONE pizza?

- The queue, the queue was...

- Don't give it to them, give it to us. Oi, Dad!

I know that I want another beer. I know "tanga" is "thong" in Italian.

- A girl to take your breath away and...

- Yeah, but that's the point.

- And then five minutes!

- Like, so...

- So you let them walk on. What's the difference?

And, um, Italian bella walks past, she's amazing.

Ten minutes later another one walks past.

And you're asking me to make a promise to one of them.

No, but you haven't gone off with either of them, have you?

I just think men and women are always bound to be unfaithful.

- I really think that.

- You're probably right.

- That doesn't mean to say...

- So why get married?

It's more, it's about more than mere sexual fidelity.

It's about making a bond with somebody and...

Your mum and dad, maybe they're not getting on that well now,

but perhaps in 20 years' time, if they're still together,

then they might, there's still something going between them, they still have friendship.

It might suddenly come good.

And that's what you're working on with your husband, is it?

20 years' time, dressing gown and slippers. Anna and Alex.

I find it difficult. I can't see that far ahead.

Charlie and Brina seem happy, though, I think.

They've only been together six years, haven't they?

Six years is a f***ing long time.

Anyway, it's not about who's sleeping together.

- It's about living together.

- That has to be part of it.

When you meet someone, that's the first thing you think.

- If the sex isn't there, you're dead in the water.

- True...

Doesn't matter if you like them, if you...if they make you feel good

or you like their personality or if they make you laugh.
