Original subtitles

'The inhabitants of Chesterman were a motley crew...

'Nominally, their leader was Maxgrin,

'a man whose handsome looks had only improved with age...

'He was known as The Dreamer.'

Adam, you're a genius!

You've done a fantastic job.

Pete and David helped.

Yeah, but it was your vision.

'Maxgrin's blood brother was Dulbrix.

'Stout heart, but simple of mind

'who's son and heir was hewn from the same stone.'

You can't Munich after Rome, you'd be doubling back on yourself.

I've got a date. That was the hospital.

- For what? - Mammogram?

- Oh, that's come around quick. - They do it for everyone.

It's routine.

Nothing to worry about.

We're just gonna see where we're at.

'Vaginore, the wife of Dulbrix, was outwardly happy,

'but harboured a terrible fear deep in her soul.'

'In his twilight years,

'the legendary warrior Morclaw had mellowed.

'He now spent his days in contemplation

'while attending to the needs of his brood.'

Penny for them?

- Oh, hello, darling. - What's up?

Well, to be honest, I'm thinking about Robyn.

Really?

'Dear talentless writer...

'Emily...'

Thank you for submitting Thane Of Glamis to Marsden House.

While I found much to admire in your writing,

I am afraid I did not feel sufficiently enthusiastic

to consider it for publication.

Blah, blah... blah.

Ah!

What do you mean, a project?

- I thought we could do it together. - I'm in.

I'm not. He just wants cheap labour.

Free labour.

There's a knack to this door.

You haven't found it, then.

I'll write a 'to do' list.

You might need a bigger book.

Anyway, I'm too busy.

Doing what?!

Work for a start.

- Some of us still have to. - Come on, Pete! It'll be fun.

The Three Amigos 'Pimp My Ride'.

- Classy. - Come on, let's leave them to it.

So, what's the engine like?

Jeez, I hope there is one.

So, I bet you're happy about this camper thing.

You said him being round the house was getting on your tits.

In all my life,

I don't think I've ever used the term "getting on my tits".

My words, your sentiment.

It's ideal, isn't it?

A project he'll never finish.

I hope he does. Desperate for a holiday.

Aw, you work too hard.

I just find running my own business really stressful.

What about you? You OK?

I will be, once I've got this mammogram done.

I only have to sneeze at the minute, I think the cancer's back.

Breathe.

You're gonna be fine.

I'm gonna be like this every time I have a scan, aren't I?

Yeah, probably.

Oi-oh!

Cheers.

Cheers.

So you and Robyn, back in the saddle, eh!

Back in the saddle? Christ.

Oooh.

Anyway, I haven't heard from her.

Well, have you called her?

I don't know if I should, or frankly what to make of it all.

See you, son!

See you.

Olivia.

- It's Robyn! - Aye-aye.

- Her ears must have been burning. - Act natural. - Huh?

You don't want her to know you're keen.

I don't even know if I am.

Well, then it should be easy, eh?

At least answer the bloody thing!

Robyn. Hi!

Are you all right, David? You sound stoned.

No. I...

Fuck off!

So, how are you?

I thought you might have rung me.

Right...

- About my earring. - Your what?

I may have left an earring at your flat the other night.

Uh...

No, I don't think so.

Well, I didn't have it when I got home.

I think it might be on your bedside table.

Well, I haven't seen anything.

Oh.

I'll have a look for it.

Well, if you wouldn't mind.

So, what else?

No. No, nothing, that's it.

OK, bye!

No, it's nothing.

She's just worried about losing some trinket!

- Well, it's just as well you don't have feelings for her, hey? - Hah.

So how we're gonna get this shitheap on the road?!

Oi! What's that?

It's a video on how to strip a carburettor.

Do you even know what a carburettor is?

Hah. I'm getting to that part.

I don't know why you don't just take it to a garage.

Huh? Where's the satisfaction in that?

Well, at least then we'd get to use the camper.

You can learn anything off the internet.

Pete told me about this guy...

..who built a yacht from scratch,

sailed the Atlantic.

Really?

Yep, he set off.

"Capsized in Poole Harbour." What?

Hi, Adam.

- Hey. - Can you lay an extra place?

Why?

Oh, hi, Toby.

Hi, Mrs Marsden.

Hi, Toby, I'm Adam.

Oh!

I'm taking him out to eat tonight. Enjoy.

- I don't have to stay. - It's fine, you can sit.

- There's no reason I can't have a friend over, is there? - No.

But you do have to treat people with respect, Olivia.

If me and Liv weren't living under the same roof

- I wouldn't have to see them. - Well, that is unfortunate.

- But, you know, that's how things worked out. - They didn't have to!

It's because you wanted them to!

But before all this everything was fine!

No, it wasn't!

Put yourself in my shoes.

Well, I can't, they don't fit.

Why is everything a joke to you?!

Listen to me.

I don't want to live there anymore.

Are you enjoying this?

What, sitting on the sofa, watching TV? Yes.

- No, this. - Wha...

What was one of our first rules when we got married?

- No cheating. - Second?

No unilateral switching of the channels

and no turning off the TV.

Whatever.

Listen, I wanna make a bucket list.

What?

Well, Adam and Karen, they're going flouncing off on their holidays

in their camper van.

What have we got to look forward to?

The kids moving out?

I'm dreading that!

Oh.

We'll go for a nice weekend with A and K in the Lake District.

C'mon, let's have a think about it.

Things that you wanna do before you die.

Oh.

"Buy bin bags"?

If I don't make a note I'll forget.

- Night, son. - Night, Dad.

See ya.

- Hey. - Hi.

How was dinner?

You know...

..Matt.

Liv's not making it any easier for him, you know?

I mean, it's almost like she's rubbing his nose in it.

Can I just remind you that he cheated on her once.

And that justifies this?!

He was 15.

All I'm saying is this is a two-way street.

Yeah, yeah, I know, so...

Maybe Matt and I should move out.

You what?

Well, if you're not prepared to rein Liv in.

I don't like the way she's behaving any more than you do,

but I can't tell her what to do. She's an adult.

You know, the house is empty, that dickhead Patrick's gone.

You know, it wouldn't be forever, just until Liv goes to university.

OK, if that's what you want.

It's not a question of what I want, it's Matt.

It's temporarily, you know?

Till this thing blows over,

before it drives a wedge between you and me.

I think it already has.

You look after yourself, yeah?

- I hope you'll still come and see me. - Mm-hm.

- Or you could come to ours. - I will.

♪ Maybe I care, maybe you don't... ♪

Let's go.

♪ Maybe I'll let go

♪ Maybe you won't... ♪

Well, speak, yeah?

♪ Could there be two of us?

♪ Could there be two? ♪

♪ Maybe I'm lonely

♪ Maybe you're lost

♪ Maybe I'm an echo

♪ Or maybe you're a ghost

♪ Could there be two of us? ♪

This makes much more sense.

Same number of gigs, but we travel 900 miles less.

- Yes. - I'm gonna miss you.

Send us a postcard.

- A what? - Shut up.

- And the dates still work? - Yeah.

I mean, the clubs we're playing, it's not like they've much else on.

Yeah, but you'll be putting them on the map.

What's this?

Er, it's a bucket list that me and your mum were doing.

Really?

Well, it's more of a shopping list to be honest.

Has your cancer come back?

- No, baby. - Then why are you drawing up a bucket list?

Clo, love, your Mum's cancer hasn't come back.

- And she's not worried. - Just hang on, Pete.

The truth is I am a bit worried.

You know, this mammogram,

it's like you guys waiting for your exam results.

A-Levels.

Yeah, I was bricking it.

You came out all right. And so will your Mum.

I'm just looking ahead,

thinking about all the things I want to do with my life.

- It's exciting! - Like buying bin bags?

- Oh, yeah, I did that this morning. - Ah, yes!

You can help.

What would you put on your bucket list?

- Getting a tattoo? - Forget it.

I've got one.

- Seeing our lad's band on tour. - Oh, that's nice.

There's still tickets available in Stockholm.

Copenhagen...

- Munich... - Rome...

Wherever you'd like to go, really.

What have we got?

- Don't they want to sell books? - 'Of course, of course.'

Well, perhaps as my sales agent, you could push them?

'Sure.'

Yep. Thanks very much.

'This is the office of Benjamin Stevens.

'Please leave a message after the beep'.

Benjamin, hi. It's Karen Marsden here.

You might recall you once tried to buy my company from me?

Well, if you're still interested, now might be a good time to talk.

- Anyway, call... - 'Hello! Karen?'

Benjamin!

Matt's agreed to let me throw him an 18th birthday party.

I think he's a bit happier since we moved out.

It's hard to tell.

He spends all his time up in the room listening to Leonard Cohen.

It isn't easy having your heart broken.

I remember the first time Jenny dumped me.

- So do I. - It was the sixth form.

- I took to writing poetry. - Yeah, it was a bad time for everyone.

It's not easy for me and Karen either.

We'll be fine,

but right now it doesn't feel like we're on the same page.

- Adam? - Yes.

Do you remember my business partner, Benjamin?

Slightly creepy, into S&M, writes erotic fiction as Nina B St James.

We weren't sure about the S&M thing.

Anyway, he's made an offer to buy my company.

- I didn't know it was for sale. - It's not.

I just sold it!

What?

So come on then, when's this baby gonna be ready?

Come here to me!

That's amazing news!

Oh, wow!

Right, where are we up to?

"Seeing our Adam on tour."

- Yeah, that's good. - Mm.

But...

- We need to just think bigger. - Mm.

I know.

Trekking in the Himalayas.

After all you went through on that mountain?

Oh, yeah.

Safari in the Serengeti?

It's very expensive.

Longleat's much cheaper.

Mm.

- Kayaking... - Ooh.

- ..up the Amazon? - Piranhas.

God, it's not easy, is it?

Tell you what, we don't have to decide tonight.

What's for tea?

Fancy Spaghetti Carbonara, not had it in ages.

Oh!

You've really not got the hang of this, have you?

- See you! - Night, Dad.

- Karen? - Mm.

Ah. Um...

Can I have a quiet word?

Let me guess. It's about Robyn.

We met for coffee earlier, David. She wanted a quiet word, too.

Karen, has he said anything about me?

- I mean, lately. - What do you mean?

Well, for instance,

has he told you that last weekend we spent the night together?

She told you all about our little liaison?

- Is that what it was? - Is that what she called it?

No, that's what you just called it!

Honestly, David,

I can't believe I'm being go-between to my ex-husband and his ex-wife.

He invited me to dinner, we had quite a lot to drink,

so I stayed over.

- You know how it is. - I do.

But I still don't know what he's really thinking.

I mean, whether he even likes me.

Could you maybe find out?

So, as far as you can gather,

she'd like to see me again on a more serious basis?

- Yes, I think she would. - OK.

So...

is there any message you'd like covertly relayed to your inamorata?

No, thanks.

I can handle it.

Good man.

♪ Love yourself Like you love me... ♪

Fancy a wee trip this weekend?

Yeah, where were you thinking?

I don't know. Where would you like to go?

Could fly to Barcelona. I'd love to see Josh and Ramona.

Or we could drive, take the camper van.

I thought you said this weekend.

Oh, ye of little faith.

- The camper's ready. - What?!

Yeah, I had some help.

- What, David and Pete!? - Not as such.

No, I took your advice and I brought it to a garage.

No!

Cost a bloody fortune, but I reckoned it's worth it,

you know, cos we're gonna get so much use out of it.

Oh, my God, Adam. It's gorgeous!

We can take our time getting to Barcelona, go at our own pace,

- take as long as we want. - Join the slow movement.

In a camper, there's no other option.

So, we'll stop off in Paris, meander through the Loire valley,

cross the Pyrenees into Spain.

What do you say?

I say si, senor!

'All right, love?'

How was chemo?

Rubbish.

Charlie didn't turn up. I forgot to take a book.

Had to read one of their mags.

Have you been stealing magazines from hospital?!

I'm doing the other patients a favour!

It's the only way they'll get new issues in.

That one's so old Caitlyn Jenner was still Bruce.

Oh.

You can see he was on his way, though.

I picked it up

cos there's a nice recipe in the back I thought you'd like.

- Orange and Darjeeling cake. - Oh, how posh!

Thanks, love.

Fancy, like my mum.

I'll steal you a copy of Vogue next time.

Jenny Gifford.

Oh, yeah, that's me.

Being a small publisher, you have to be an expert in everything, really.

You can't just be a good editor, you deal with the printers,

wholesalers, retailers, that's what gives you the edge.

Sorry, I don't understand, why would a major house like Ibson Media

be interested in any of this?

Maxine, Ms Ibson, is interested in every facet of publishing.

You do know I'm not in publishing anymore, I've sold Marsden House.

That's what piqued our interest.

Isn't that Maxine Ibson over there?

Oh, um... She's often in Manchester.

Would you excuse me if I make a quick call?

Yeah, yeah, sure.

- 'Well?' - Yes.

I think you should.

Will you excuse me?

Karen Marsden? Maxine Ibson.

Yeah, yeah, I know who you are. Sorry, how do you know me?

I know about Marsden House.

I didn't know it was in play.

It all happened very quickly.

Well?

Sharp, incisive, good communication skills.

- Well, I expected nothing less. - Sorry, what's going on?

I thought you wanted to pick my brains.

This lunch was a job interview.

I haven't applied for any job.

No, but you're about to be offered one.

I admire what you've achieved, Karen.

'The Deep End' is the book I wish I had published.

Excuse me if I leave you.

Clients tend to get antsy if you don't pay them attention.

I'd love to talk more.

And we shall, Day One.

Shall I talk you through the terms of the contract?

- Hi! - Fuck!

I didn't know anyone was in!

- Well, I wanted to surprise you. - Well, mission accomplished.

- How was lunch? - Uh, yeah, interesting.

- What's all this? - Ah-ha!

Well, while you were out gallivanting, I was thinking....

Why stop at Barcelona?

So after we see Josh and Ramona, we'll cross southern France,

stopping at Monte Carlo for a night at the casino.

We'll work our way down through Italy,

we'll get the ferry to Dubrovnik,

on to Budapest, then Vienna, Prague, Berlin!

And how long's all this gonna take?!

Well, how long is a piece of string? Three, six months, maybe longer.

And what about Matthew?

Oh, no, he loves the idea.

He's excited, he wants his independence and the house.

And he can come and visit us anywhere.

You don't seem that excited.

No, no, I am. It's...

I just had a few weeks in my mind,

and then, maybe we'd come back

and we might want to do something different.

Like what?

Exactly!

A holiday's all well and good but it's no traveling,

and traveling's what you love.

And I love being with you.

Hey?

Yeah.

'What else could I say?'

I couldn't tell him I want to press pause to think about this job.

Well, Adam's a grown up, he'll understand.

You think? Maybe grown up's pushing it.

Have you asked anyone else's advice?

- You're asking me? - Yeah, well, I respect your opinion.

- I've already asked the girls. - And?

As soon as I've saved enough, I'm off.

Nothing beats traveling.

You can travel in a couple of years.

If Adam won't wait, then he doesn't deserve you.

'Absolutely useless.'

Well, since you asked my opinion,

I'd say this isn't about the job.

I remember saying to you that I hoped you'd find happiness,

just not with Adam...

But now, I think Adam is where you might...

..at long last...

..find happiness.

If I turn round now and tell him I don't want to go,

what am I saying about us?

- We're already living apart. - 'Mm, yeah.'

Jesus, Jen, I forgot! How was your mammogram?

Oh, fine, I'm just glad it's done.

So come on, this job you've been offered.

You're clearly tempted.

Just off out, love. I'll see you later.

- OK, bye. - I am, I wish I could do both,

but they want me to start in a couple of weeks.

♪ I never, ever felt like this... ♪

I thought Karen would be as excited as I am...

I wonder if she's having second thoughts.

- About traveling? - Well, about me.

She didn't put up much of a fight

when I suggested Matt and I move out, or any fight.

She wasn't overjoyed that the camper's ready to go.

And now she's umming and ahhing about this whole of Europe thing.

Well, could it be this job she's been offered?

Oh, shit.

Ha!

Why didn't you tell me about this job?!

- Cos I knew you'd react like this! - No. No, that's unfair!

- I'm reacting like this because you didn't tell me! - Fine.

I was offered a job.

European Editorial Director of some big publishing company.

Wow!

- Thank you. - No, I mean, yeah, congratulations.

But there are jobs like that in Manchester?

It's based in London.

Lon...

I don't want to live in London.

- It's not all about you. - No, it's about us.

Our dreams!

We'd planned to go traveling.

- Yeah, yeah, I still want to. - Oh, yeah, well...

Not as much as me. I could tell that when I showed you this.

- Oi! Don't do that. - Well, what's the point?

We're not going, are we?

Yes, we are. I turned it down.

Why?

Frankly, I'm beginning to wonder.

Because if it's a choice, I choose you.

I've forgotten where the pins go.

Good, cos I'd like to make it up as we go along,

if I have any say in the matter.

Oh!

You were right.

I must have missed it.

- Top up? - Thank you.

That was delicious.

You know, I've missed your cooking.

I don't remember you particularly rating it.

Well, perhaps you don't appreciate something till it's gone.

I've a confession to make.

That earring you found...

Uh-huh?

I didn't lose it.

I left it there.

So that you'd get in touch with me.

Well, I'm glad you did leave it there.

You know, Robyn, it's strange,

when we got divorced...

..I really couldn't bear you.

Yeah, the loathing was mutual.

- Uh-huh? - Mm-hm.

But you changed, David.

I think the last couple of years have been the making of you.

You've changed, softened.

Are you suggesting I was hard before?

Well, that's the benefit of age, and declining ambition...

..and seeing what you went through changed something for me, too.

Do you think we should open another one?

You don't mind sharing your birthday party with our leaving do?

- At long as Liv doesn't bring Toby. - Mm.

Listen, mate.

I'm sorry you're going through a tough time.

- If you'd rather I didn't go away... - No, I'll be fine.

Are you sure?

Yes.

There was something I wanted to ask you about.

No, no...

Something that I'm planning for the party...

Now, hear me out, I know I've got previous, but...

..I want to ask Karen to marry me.

Dad, I don't wanna live there again.

Oh, God, no, no.

It won't be until you've all gone off to university.

But Karen and me, I know we haven't been an item that long,

but, jeez, over the years, we've been through a lot together.

She's shown a lot of faith in me, turning down that job.

I want to show her the same level of commitment.

And...

..I love her.

You know I had my doubts when you first started going out.

You go well together.

And she's good for you, Dad.

She's the closest thing I've got to a mum.

So you'd be OK with it?

You're seeking my permission to ask for my Godmother's hand in marriage?

Yes.

Oh.

Father, you have my blessing.

Thank you, my son.

Didn't you get my email, Tim?

'I did. You're going traveling?'

Yep. I'll send you an invitation to our leaving party.

'Regarding the job, if it's about the money...'

Not about the money.

'..then I'm authorised to offer you a further 20%.'

It's not about the money.

'But you said yourself, in your email,

'the job description could have been written for you.'

It's a life choice.

'It certainly is,

'because an opportunity like this won't come along again.'

You've got to put the effort in. It's all about the practice.

But I hate the clarinet!

Well, your brother hated the guitar,

now look at him, he's practically Coldplay.

How many rock bands have a clarinet?!

Oasis, no clarinet. The 1975, no clarinet.

Jen, love, I'm home.

Oh, shit!

Oh, shit!

It's OK.

You've got this.

You beat it once, you can beat it again.

- It's OK. - No, no...

- OK? What? What? - It's OK, it's OK. I'm OK.

- What, you're fine? - I'm OK. - You're fine?

- Well, it says, "no." - Oh, my God.

Oh, my God! Oh, thank God!

- I'm a bit overwhelmed, sorry. - Right.

I have had enough of this nonsense!

What are you doing?

Ah! I've been thinking about all this

"live every day like it's your last,"

it's a load of bollocks!

I'll tell you something, if I knew I was on the way out,

I wouldn't be swimming with dolphins or running a marathon.

Especially that.

I'd be... I'd be living life normally.

Like...

I had all the time in the world.

- Like you and me, now. Yeah? - Yeah.

And I'll tell you something else. Fuck that bucket list!

I'll tell you when I'm at my happiest, is when I'm sat

on that sofa watching shite TV with you, Jen Gifford.

You're my bucket list.

- Really? - I mean that.

That is so cute.

Somewhere in this big, beautiful, hairy body

beats the heart of a poet.

Who knew.

Oh, thank God.

You look fantastic!

Thanks.

Can I get away with no wig?

- Feel a bit like a fella. - No.

You look knock-out.

Yeah, very chic.

The tour's off.

- What? - Why?!

Cos no-one can drive the van.

They won't insure you if you're under 21.

No, they don't!

And your tour manager should have known that.

Who is this guy? He's a nobhead.

Me.

No-one else wanted to do it.

- And we can't afford to pay anyone. - Can't you get the train?

With all our gear?!

You're gonna have to find someone over 21 who's willing to do it.

Where are we gonna get them from?

Dad. What about your Dad?

Come on, you could take a break from work.

They owe you a load of holiday.

Well, I suppose.

You've always wanted to go on tour, go on.

Jen, love, it's asking a lot.

Don't think you're up to it?

Well, no, I'm talking about your mum.

I don't wanna leave you in the lurch.

- I'd help Mum. - Yeah, we'd cope.

Would you do it?

Oh, I'd love to!

Right, we'll discuss it on the way.

Oh, we're gonna need a bigger van, then there's ferry tickets!

Cool hair, Mum.

And accommodation, insurance! Oh, there's a lot to think about!

♪ I'm only comin' out to play... ♪

Let's grab a table.

♪ Nothin' more That I hate in this life

♪ The wrong impression I only have one to make... ♪

- Hello. - Hello.

- I love this. - How are you?

You look lovely. And that's wonderful news, Jen.

Ah, thanks! I can't believe it.

So we're stuck with you for another 12 months?

Only you could get away with saying something like that.

Hey, hey, hey, that Irish charm will only stretch so far, mate.

What he's trying to say, is that he's relieved.

Oh, I really am.

I know you are.

Hey, get him off, before he bursts into song.

Hello?

- Just promise me no karaoke. - Sorry, sorry, I can't hear you.

Sorry, who is this?

Maxine Ibson.

Tim suggested I ring you.

Maxine, I'm at my leaving party.

That's why he thought now would be a good time.

David?

- Can I have a word, please? - Uh, yeah, sure.

Um...

First of all, I'd like to thank you for saving my life.

- I don't think I did. - Well, I'm happy you were there.

I'm happy we're friends again.

Well, I hope we are because, um,

I wanted to give you a heads up...

..I want to ask Karen to marry me.

Well, I hope you'll always be worthy of her.

Yeah.

And...

..I hope she'll say yes.

Thank you.

Well, either way, there'll be fireworks.

'Isn't this job just what you dreamed of when you were younger?'

Yes, it is, Maxine, but do you know what,

I had children, my husband had the career,

the opportunity never arose.

And yet here we are...

If you look outside, Karen, you will see a car pulling up, just about...

..now.

Nope.

- Really? - No, Nothing.

Oh, damn. I hate it when things don't work.

Oh, no, hang on a minute... Yeah, there's the car.

So I've booked you a suite at The Dorchester

and tomorrow morning I'll introduce you to your team.

Jesus, Maxine, I just need time to think about this.

And I need to know that if you're on board, you're fully committed.

What are you doing out here?

Avoiding being in there.

Are you OK with everything, Matt?

Me and your Dad.

So, he's asked you then?

Asked me what?

Sorry. You're talking about traveling.

I am.

OK with it.

He's so excited.

I know!

And you'll get the house to yourself for a bit.

You must be looking forward to that.

Yeah.

You're gonna be fine, Matt.

Thank you. Excuse me, has anyone seen Karen?

Oh! Ah!

Perfect timing!

As you know, tonight is not only

a celebration of my son, Matthew's, 18th birthday...

Happy Birthday, my darling.

..it's also a leaving do for Karen and me,

as we pack up our camper van and head off on an adventure.

Now, I don't know when we'll be back,

but I do know that I want this road trip to be the first of many,

because, Karen,

I want to travel the rest of life's journey with you by my side.

Aw!

Yeah, guess who'll be in the driver's seat.

So, let's set out on this trip, not as friends,

or as pilot and navigator...

- We need to talk. - Oh, we need to talk.

That usually means one of two things...

Outside. Outside.

Er, David, could you take over?

Right, well,

it looks as though I have been appointed Master of Ceremonies...

DJ, music please!

He's gone to toilet!

Oh, he's in the lav. OK. Well, I'll fill in...

Accustomed as I am to public speaking.

I thought you turned down the job.

This isn't about the job, forget the job.

We can't go traveling now.

Not now, Matt needs us here, he needs you.

Matt's fine.

Have you seen him up there? He's all on his own.

He's just like a lost soul.

He needs his dad.

No, no, no.

You're saying this because it's convenient.

If we don't go traveling, there's nothing to stop you taking the job.

I'm not taking the fucking job.

Oh, is he's still in there! OK.

I'm in my 50's. It doesn't take me that long.

So where was I? Travel! Yes... Broadens the mind.

Yeah, a part of me would give my right arm to take that opportunity.

But honestly, my family's more important.

And you, and Matt...

..you're my family.

No.

No, what?

No, I won't let you.

This is crazy.

It shouldn't be a choice between traveling and Matt, me and the job.

What do you want, Karen?

I want it all.

Then get in that car.

Go, be brilliant.

I mean it.

And when we can, we'll get together in Manchester, or London,

or Rome if that's where you are.

But one way or another, we will make it work,

because when you are sure about someone...

..that's what you do.

Then there's Istanbul.

Wonderful city. I went there on my second honeymoon...

with Robyn.

I'd like to go again one day.

Perhaps you'd like to come too.

Maybe.

In fact, yes, yes, all of us!

Let's call it a date!

Because, standing here, in front of you tonight, I want to propose...

Go on, then!

Go on, Robyn. Go, go!

I was just going to raise a toast to travel or something!

Thank fuck for that. We'd better play along.

Yeah, yeah, OK.

- Did you know this? - No, did you?

But David, I would really like to give us another go.

What do you say?

- Are you sort of proposing to me? - If you like.

Crikey, how modern.

You know you don't have to question my commitment, Maxine.

If I choose to do something, I go all in.

But those are my terms.

I'll see you on Monday.

What's all that about?

That shouldn't be happening.

Oh, yeah...

I was gonna kiss you.
