Listen, man. I wasn't buying it, she wasn't buying it.

There was nothing to buy!

- What're you talking about?

- Not smoking, enough said.

You didn't offer me a cigarette.

Well, did you?

- Don't be an a**hole.

- What is this?

It's noth...

- You really?

- I... she's great.

Yeah. She is GREAT. F***ing great.

It's just, you know...

That stupid grin on your face ever since you met her.

THAT grin, exactly.

What grin?

Come on, what am I going to do?

You're off on your ownsome in a couple of days.

So when you leave I need a little company.

I do, I do! It'll be great.

She'll come over, we'll go swimming,

put a little sun cream on her back...

I know you'll do whatever you want any way.

- That's right, I certainly will.

- That's the problem with you.

What? The problem with me? Come on, man.

Hi, Al.

I'm sorry too.

You know, Al, I think in a way, I'm doing the same thing here.

In a way.

Course I'm coming back.

SHE SIGHS:

It's just that it's just been so nice

just to lose myself in this big group of people.

It's like a big family. Well, it IS a family.

It's a big extended family, and I don't know, I've just been able to sort of...

go with the flow and not think about anything.

MUFFLED VOICE ON PHONE

Family isn't just two people on their own.

Well, I mean, that's just not my understanding of it.

Did you hear me? I said it's not my understanding of it.

- THUNDER

- Certainly a fine wine.

Does the name Vino Nobile di Montepulciano mean anything to you?

Vino certainly does.

Two bottles of it, rather expensive bottles, disappeared,

drunk by a person or persons.

- By you, I should think.

- No, I left it in the usual place in the kitchen,

on the shelf where I always leave the good stuff, and they've gone.

With all the others.

Hmm? No, I keep those good ones that I was intending for us to...

Don't smirk at me, you sneering little bastard. Did you drink them?!

No.

You didn't drink them? They just disappeared, did they?

So you're a liar as well as everything else.

- F***ing arse.

- You just said...

- It doesn't matter.

THUNDER:

CICADAS CHIRRUP:

- VERENA:

- We just used to sleep with anybody.

You know, it was just like...

- How many times?

- How many times?

- How many people?

- How many people before you first got married?

- Oh, gosh.

- Go on.

- Hit me with double figures.

- Who's counting? It's definitely double figures.

Definitely double figures?

I have a very fond memory of one on a beach

in Provincetown, Massachusetts.

- We just had sex and then he went on down the beach.

- Did you know he was a vet before you started?

Oh, yeah, because he had these incredible tattoos which I inquired about.

- These people are wild!

- I know, but I was 18 on a beach.

- You don't know what he could've done.

I didn't think about the consequences, this is what I mean.

Yeah, but I wouldn't sleep with a Vietnam vet!

He was pretty gorgeous. He was strong.

- VERONA:

- Badge's ignoring me at the moment. I don't know what I've done.

I asked her if she wanted to come out shopping, she loves shopping.

Didn't even answer me.

Jack is behaving really strangely.

I just wonder if he's angry with me or Charlie or...

- You'd tell me if something was going on, wouldn't you?

- Of course.

Normally they tell me everything.

It's not like them to keep things from me.

They seem to be so much more chatty with you.

Anna, if something has happened, I need to know.

Look... I...

I want to talk about it with you,

but please can you assure me it's not going to go any further?

- I've made a promise...

- No, I can't.

- I've got to tell Charlie.

- I've made a promise.

- Oh, f*** your promise.

These are my kids.

Were you in the car?

- Yeah.

- So you weren't going to tell me?

- We have got that car on loan from Elisabetta and Jonathan.

- I know!

It was given to us in good faith.

How well aware are you of it? Obviously not THAT aware.

- It's an old banger, V...

- Don't! I don't care whether you think it's an old banger or it's a new car,

that is NOT the point. The principle is that we borrowed that car in good faith!

I know. I know.

- I don't get it...

- V, I made a promise.

VOICES ARGUING:

- JACK:

- I'm sorry. It was an accident. We didn't mean...

- VERONA:

- You lied to Elisabetta as well!

You told her the car had a fuel leak or something, didn't you? Ugh!

I thought it was... I... We didn't want to get YOU in trouble by telling Elisabetta.

- Oh(!)

- We thought it would be better...

- You were thinking of us, were you, Jack?

- No, but seriously!

- CHARLIE:

- You just calm down.

- Seriously, seriously.

- You are responsible for yourselves!

You're also responsible for Archie.

Did that enter your head at any point?

Or were you so pissed that you couldn't even think?

We don't say no to you and you just take advantage

and that's what's REALLY upset me.

- I trust you and I trust Badge!

- V, V, V, come on.

- I trust you both and you just take advantage!

- See what you've done?

You've just ruined this whole thing.

How is this reflected just on me, like it was just me who was driving?

- It's not just you!

- I wasn't even doing anything!

- Oh, Jack, come on.

Badge was driving, Oakley should have been driving. Yeah?

I really don't think how I'm the most guilty person.

Just go and think about it. Piss off, go on.

- I'll say sorry to Elisabetta.

- Yeah, you certainly will.

- But, fine, I will.

- Go away, go away.

SIGHS:

- Jeez. Are you all right?

- Mm.

- V...

- It makes me so angry.

They ARE all right, that's the main thing.

I know, but you can't say that to them,

that really what you care about is they could've killed themselves.

- CHARLIE INSIDE HOUSE:

- 'TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CAR NOW!

'I will stop this, I will f***ing swipe you, unless you tell me!

' I'll take your f***ing...'

- JACK INSIDE HOUSE:

- 'Dad, listen to me! Don't you f***ing start!

'You don't have a leg to F***ING stand on!

'You haven't got a leg to f***ing stand on!'

'Sit down! Sit down and listen!'

'Right?! Sit down and tell me!

'SIT DOWN!'

'WHEN HAVE YOU EVER GIVEN A F*** ABOUT ME?

'SINCE WHEN HAVE YOU EVER GIVEN A F*** ABOUT ME?'

'I tell you I love you.'

'Since when do you give a sh*t?! What am I responsible for, f***?

'You want to talk about your childhood?'

'No, I don't! That's PRECISELY what I don't want to do.'

- 'Because you want to stay in it!'

- 'I don't give a sh*t!'

- 'You want to stay in your f***ing childhood?'

- 'I don't give a sh*t!'

- 'You won't accept any responsibility.

'You're a young adult now, for F***'s sake!'

- 'Why don't we sit down and talk?

- 'No! What do you f***ing care?'

'I f***ing care. Why do I f***ing care?

'I f***ing care because it's a car being written off

'and because four lives have been put in danger

'because of your F***ING idiocy!'

'You're a f***ing disgrace!'

'You're unworthy!

'I don't want to see you again!'

'If you f***ing hit me, I will f***ing hit you back.
