Maybe I should do the quiz on the blue swan. Yeah, and maybe you could get a

girlfriend. Probation's over. Congratulations.

And you said it couldn't be done.

I knew you wouldn't let it down. This is what I do, Brian.

I'm Ruth's boyfriend.

Who knows he had a boyfriend?

You work in the video shop, all of you.

Is that place not shut down?

Lying through your teeth all day, every day.

What are you talking about?

When it comes to Ruth, you don't have the tiniest clue what you're talking

about. Makes two of us.

Brilliant. At 8, I ordered to rest.

Good morning.

Well?

Well, what?

How'd it go at Lawrence?

How'd what go?

Oh, nothing. Never mind. You're going to be late. Ashton, what did you mean?

Nothing.

Ashton.

Did you have a conversation last night?

We have a conversation every night.

I mean, like, an unusual conversation.

Were we supposed to have an unusual conversation?

You knew, didn't you?

About the flick shack and the new job.

Seems everyone knew except dopey old me.

I told him it was a silly idea.

Children were telling him it was stupid. I'm not a child.

Not now, Aisling.

Come on, Mum. You didn't have a big massive rare or anything, did you?

I don't want to talk about it.

Fine. I'll ask Lawrence.

Don't. He... What?

Look, Lawrence didn't come home last night.

We had a big mess of row.

He's coming back, isn't he?

Today? I assumed so.

Then I assumed a lot of things.

For all I know, he's on his way to France to start his own vineyard.

He might be doing that.

No, I think.

Lawrence wouldn't do well in France.

How are you going to capture the language?

Hey, Lawrence.

Hold on a second, Luke.

I was just... Did you sleep in there?

Did you?

Roger, look... I'm having trouble at home. Roger!

Absolutely none of my business.

Got it.

But as a family friend, if there's anything I can do to help, you just have

ask. Thanks, Roger. If I think of anything, I'll be sure to get you pulled

of school.

Now, off you go. You don't want to be late.

Roger! Roger!

You know, if you really do want to help, maybe you could do some recon for me.

What? Round at Molly's.

How are you?

Honest to God, Adam, I don't know how I am.

How would you feel if you were in my shoes?

Forgiving?

Nice try.

I can't even bring myself to speak to him after his disappearing act. Will you

please tell him? What disappearing act?

He didn't come home last night.

Are you telling me he didn't stay with you?

He came over, but he left again. I don't understand.

How can this keep getting more ridiculous?

We're supposed to be making a life together, and as soon as we have her

runs away from home.

He's probably built himself a fort in the woods, and he's up there now with a

load of crits on a comic.

He'll find his own way back, I'm sure.

He is a grown man. No, he isn't.

That's my whole point.

He just looks like one.

Hi. Well, good morning to you, Lawrence.

You were in an awful hurry last night.

We stayed till the end.

Do you want to know how we got on?

We came seven.

Shameful. A bit embarrassing, to be honest.

Did you make it up with your girlfriend?

He's not talking today, Tina. Maybe it's his ex -girlfriend by now.

Well, after that, there's surely no way back. If there's anything we can do...

For instance, I know a guy with a van. Don't... worry about me and Molly.

Turn in.

Go on.

So... I just popped around to, uh... I don't want to say

it, it sounds ridiculous, but I just popped around to pick up my grandpa.

How come he disappeared that night?

I didn't want to wake you up.

Or Nick.

You think there's something going on, is that it?

Honestly, I don't know.

What's that supposed to mean?

It means that I was under the impression that we were a couple.

It seemed pretty clear last night that you didn't want me here. No, I wouldn't

say that.

What would you say?

I would say that I didn't want such a serious boyfriend type here.

It felt a little bit like you were moving in, Adam.

Just having fun, you know?

I meant to give you this last night, but I didn't get a chance.

Happy birthday.

Do you want me to...? No.

I'll get my frying pan and let myself foot.

Sounded better on my head?

Yeah.

Like the soup?

Delicious.

Shouldn't expect to see you here today.

Adam, you were right.

I think I may have made a mistake.

You reckon?

The way I reacted, there's a possibility I may have made things even worse.

Yeah.

Probably. So what am I going to do?

I don't know.

What are you going to do?

Adam, I'm asking you.

And I'm telling you.

No, no, Molly, day off as in off. That means you don't come in. I left my

charger in my locker. Not even a smile, huh?

I'm sorry, Max, sorry.

I'm just not having a good day.

Missed your phone that badly?

No, I had a fight with my boyfriend over a table quiz and all things.

Ah, Molly.

The risk of sounding like Charlie. Life's too short for that kind of stuff.

Can't be that big a deal, can it?

You'd be surprised.

I'd be amazed.

What a night for Brian.

Hey, Ash.

Lovely to see you again. How are you? Fine, thanks.

Everything okay?

Yes.

Sit down.

Have you spoken to Brian yet? No, I haven't.

Mum, this is insane.

Go see him at his job or call him or something. I think you're being rude to

your guest.

I'll be back in a minute.

Are you sure tea's okay?

We have orange juice and apple, I think.

Tea's fine, thanks.

Would you like something to eat, Roger?

No, thanks, I'm okay.

Are you sure it's cake?

Roger, I'm saying it's cake.

What are you doing?

That's a nice answer, isn't it?

Is that the new modern... Were you looking through my phone?

No. No? Of course not. I saw you.

What's going on?

I just caught Roger looking through my phone. And I'm not that chuffed about

to be honest.

You're imagining things, Mum.

Roger, am I imagining things?

You're going to laugh when you hear this. Am I?

I bumped into Lawrence this morning.

And we got talking and talking.

Did Lawrence tell you to go through my phone?

No, no, he didn't say anything about a phone. That bit was my idea.

He just told me to come and... What, snoop around, look through my private

things? No, no, no, no, no, he didn't say anything about that. He just wanted

know what you were feeling, thinking about him.

Unbelievable! He's not even at home and he's still causing me grief! Ma,

maybe... He sent a spy!

A 14 -year -old. Thank you. You're welcome.

This is too much. Where are you going?

What's next with this guy?

What's next?

Sorry.

How's everyone?

Good?

Lauren, I am the bearer of glad tidings.

I've been looking at your first month input figures, and they're good.

Damn good.

Now, this bad boy is an outstanding achievement flag.

It's awarded at the discretion of individual supervisors to employees who

gone above and beyond in the execution of their duties. It's recommended,

actually it's mandated, that you display your OAF prominently where it can serve

as an inspiration to others.

Look at that, Lawrence. Well done, buddy.

You're the man.

Yeah, it's great.

Ah, I almost forgot. Yet more good news. Your first payslip.

Paislips for all.

Cheers,

boss.

Thanks, Robbie.

Anyway, congratulations.

Keep it up.

Thanks.

Just think, Lawrence, really apply yourself and who knows what little

yoke you might get next time.

Yeah, well, you work here too, pal.

It's open.

Good afternoon. How can I help you? Yeah, hi. I'm looking for a friend of

Laurence Duffy.

She's through here, isn't she? Yes, but I'm sorry you can't. Thank you.

Molly.

Hey. Laurence.

I'm glad you came.

Are you?

Yeah. This has gotten way out of hand, this whole thing.

Yeah.

Two minutes.

Because I was thinking, this is like the part in the film where you suspect I'm

having an affair, when in fact I've been planning a surprise party for you.

Oh!

No? You sent a child to spy on me in my own home, on top of everything else.

Yeah, no, I can understand how that...

I could put up with a lot from you.

But this, all this cloak and dagger... You know what you did?

I came here to rant and rave and shout at you.

But now I think... What's the point?

You're just a child, Lawrence.

And I already have one of those.

I call it a day.

You don't mean that.

Yeah, I do.

It's over.

No, you can't mean that.

You can pick up your things any time.

Ruth? Adam.

I didn't expect to see you so soon again.

Yeah, well, I thought I should pop in for a little chat.

OK.

This is beautiful. I love it. Thank you so much.

You're very welcome.

Adam,

I think you and I are going in very different directions, and the watch kind

proves that.

Yeah, that's what I've been thinking, too.

I'm not giving it back, though.

I wouldn't have it any other way.

Look, for what it's worth, I'd be perfectly happy to keep on,

you know... What?

Occasionally. What?

Hooking up.

If he once upon a time, and I'm talking very recently,

that would have been pretty perfect.

But not now.

I don't think so.

Right, well, what we have here is the downright trustee.

Looks that way.

Well, I didn't like to meet the girls, so... What, in a trendier bar than this?

Oh, no, you couldn't get much trendier than this.

Do you

want

to sit around, Adam?

Yeah, I hope so.

Who's that?

Well, how would I know?

Are you going to answer it?

Are you?

Oh.

Oh, sit down, for God's sake.

I think you were trying to pull a train with your teeth.

It's Lauren.

Yes, I recognize her.

Hello, Lauren.

How are things?

What is it, son?

Is Molly all right?

Aisling?

I think I need to stay here.

What?

For good?

You're moving home?

I don't know.

Just don't.

Lawrence, what are you doing here? I didn't mean for you to pick up your

tonight. No, I think it's in bed. I don't...

Lawrence.

I'm sorry, but I've got something to say, and you're going to listen.

Is that right?

Maddy, you don't know this about me, but I haven't got a lot of experience with

relationships.

I'm not really sure how to proceed when things go wrong.

All that stuff I said about how I deceived you for your own good, it was

bullshit.

I did it because I couldn't face the fact that it ruined your plan.

Our plans.

I did it to keep you from having second thoughts about me.

I did it to keep you out, Molly.

I'd lost my job.

And I was ashamed.

I thought, well, it could.

But, Molly, all I want from this life is to be with you.

And Aisling.

And to answer an occasional quiz question.

That's it.

I've been getting up every day and doing everything I can to

keep the plan afloat.

I'm about to say something.

Apparently not.

I'm sorry for having disturbed you tonight.

And in general.
