and had a transplant, but...

then they just expected me to

be normal and get on with life.

There's no such thing

as normal.

It's a stupid word.

Does a lot of damage.

Nothing feels right.

You're the only person

that makes me feel, like,

I don't know...

...solid.

Like I exist.

I'm a part-time cycle courier

who doesn't even have a phone.

-I know.

-(Tom chuckles)

It's pretty sad.

And I could sing before.

Turns out...

I can't do anything.

I think the whole special...

being-special thing

is overrated.

I think just to be

a human being is hard.

You know, really hard.

You seem to manage all right.

One thing someone said to me

helped me.

"Every little action

of the common day

makes or unmakes character."

It just means that you're built

of everything you do.

And that's okay.

Who am I?

-I don't know.

-(laughing)

What's all this

"me" business anyway?

Hmm? What's wrong with...

not knowing, you know,

being inconsistent?

Just uncertain.

Why do you have to be anything?

Tom.

Yeah?

(whispers):

Can we lie down?

Absolutely.

-Come on.

-Okay.

Ooh. Gently does it.

(groaning):

Oh, my God.

(Kate grunts)

Jump in there.

-Oh, the bed.

-In the bed there.

(Kate chuckles)

(sighing):

Bed.

What...?

(stammers, scoffs)

Tom, I said... "we."

This is close enough for now.

-We hardly know each other.

-Wha...?

(stammers)

What do you mean?

We ju... we ju...

I just told you everything

there is to know about me.

There is nothing more to know.

You've just poured out

some very heavy-duty stuff.

I think you should just

sleep for a bit.

Sing me to sleep?

-Like your mum?

-No, no.

Oh, dear God, not like my mum.

I'm a terrible singer, really.

-Everyone can sing.

-Mm-mm. Not me.

You sing.

You're the singer.

If I sing a lullaby...

will you kiss me good night?

NEWSWOMAN:
They called today

the Brexit Betrayal Rally.

-And UKIP said...

-Mum?

-Mum?

-They hate us.

You all right?

They send us all back.

-(Kate hums quietly)

-Hmm, you're early.

Don't tell me even your mother

kicked you out.

No, I'm just...

doing something for someone.

-How was your date?

-Really nice.

Are you really gonna

call him Boy?

-He likes it.

-What does he do?

He's an expert on sauerkraut.

Mm, you're kidding.

-I wish I were.

-(Kate laughs)

Now I must learn

to love sauerkraut.

Which will be hard because

I am not a sour person.

You'll do it for love.

Hey, there's a latte for you

on the shelf.

What do you want?

Nothing.

Then why?

Well, uh, 'cause it's Monday.

Get to work.

Okay.

(lock clicks, bell jingles)

(crowd murmuring)

(siren wailing in distance)

(sighs):

Okay.

(whispers):

All right.

£5.75, two euros

and a Fox's Glacier Mint.

-Less than minimum wage, then.

-Oi.

Yeah, no, I...

I know it's not much.

No, that's-that's an hour

of pure heart and soul.

You know,

that's-that's riches, that is.

-Thanks.

-(chuckling):
You're welcome.

So, did you find

your Tom, then?

Yeah.

-Nice.

-Yeah.

Yeah, good for you.

Thank you.

I'm just gonna leave that...

right there.

Go nicely with your tea.

-See you soon.

-See you.

-See you later.

-Bye. -Bye.

Don't even know

where that's been.

Dan, she doesn't have to help,

you know.

Listen, I've seen more of these

little middle-class do-gooders

than you've had

hot dinners, mate.

Dan, I can't take

your attitude.

You're so negative.

-Eat your mint.

-(laughs)

So I didn't get

that Frozen job.

-You're fired.

-(Kate chuckles)

No, it's funny. I'm all right

about it, actually.

I'm not sure how I feel about

the whole auditioning thing

in general.

I'm not sure

it's that good for me.

I might just give it a break.

-What's wrong with you?

-What?

That sounds like

quite a healthy choice.

I haven't heard you make one

of those in a very long time.

Well, don't panic.

I will go out

and get sh*t-faced later.

-(chuckles)

-(door opens, bell jingles)

You're rehired.

Ooh.

(Santa chuckles)

Hello, Boy.

It is a fermented

mini cabbage hedge.

Blimey.

Thank you.

It's beautiful.

It was my grandmother's.

Oh, that's... lovely.

That's very nice.

-Mm.

-Go away.
