- Oh, it's hopeless, kid.

I haven't seen Danny for a week.

- Excuse us.

Excuse me, please. I'm pregnant.

So's half the bloody town, love.

I'm sorry, ladies. It's restricted.

- But I'm pregnant. - Congratulations,

- It's starting to go, Mollie.

- I'm sorry.

- Where else can we get to see them?

- You're gonna have to go back.

Let's have another bash, kid.
