LAUGHTER

Remember you still need to fix the cupboard door.

Ah, well, you can get a man in to dae that.

I'm no daein' it.

Please, fix the cupboard door. No, I'm no' fixing it!

Ah, I'll fix it.

# How was I to know?

# Living separate lives

# Within not too many miles

# It doesn't matter now

# We can block it out

# I know that I... #

Do you think this means we're all fixed?

I hope not.

I quite like my jaggy bits.

Plus, I don't think these certificates are that official.

There's a typo on mine.

Listen, I...

I've been thinking about what you said.

About trying.

Aye, fair point.

I thought I might try and...

..try a bit more.

Wise choice.

Here, you scrub up well, by the way.

Like I'd miss an opportunity to put on my gladrags.

Think you'd be up for a pint later?

Why do you think I wore my gladrags?

Have you heard from Collette since the other night?

Aye, but...

She just needs time.

Maybe.

You fancy heading?

I'm about done with community hall cups of coffee.

I'll grab some custard creams for the road.

I just wanted to say thanks.

For putting up with me.

I know I was a wee shite.

No comment!

But focus on being pleased with your achievement, though.

You said you read my file.

I read what I'm given.

So you know everything?

I know that anger isn't inherently a bad thing.

Some of the biggest and best changes in the world have happened

cos someone got angry.

When I read your file it struck me that you've got all this...

..energy, and nowhere to put it.

So my final thought for you, Jade, for whatever comes next,

is find something positive to do with all that energy.

It could lead you to great things.

I hope you're right.

I usually am.

KEYS JANGLE

I'm away to work.

Give me a text when you get back to Edinburgh,

just so I know you got back OK.

Yeah, I will do.

It's been nice having you back.

Has it?

I don't know what I'm going to do in the holidays, if I'm honest.

I mean, I'll visit, of course, but...

That's OK.

I think I need a bit of time.

Still...

..wrapping my head round everything.

About your dad.

About you being...

Look, I don't know what I am.

That's the truth.

I don't know what word I'd use, but...

..I know whatever I am, it's not bad.

I know my feelings for her were real.

And they still are.

I was thinking about what Julie said yesterday.

And it reminded me...

..that the only thing we should ever really want for our children

is to be happy.

Everything else is just window dressing, as your dad says.

I'd forgotten that.

I'm sorry for forgetting.

Oh, I should go. My shift starts soon.

Mum...Let me know when you get back to Edinburgh.

DOOR CLOSES

OK.

Try it again.

Terrible, terrible!

Right, again. On you go.

To our anger being managed.

To our anger being managed.

And that's how it's done!

Is that how? Mm-hm!

Mwah!

It's almost painful how sweet they are thegither.

JADE SIGHS

I think they just got lucky.

You're about the saddest looking person I've ever seen

holding a certificate.

THEO CHUCKLES

Champione, coming through!

You'd think he'd let me win.

No chance.Nah.

No sign of Collette?

I thought you said she was back.

Aye, I mean, she wa...

Yeah, she's leaving.

Around about now.

Aye.

Oh, that's a pity.

Maybe one day, then.

Aye.

Yeah.

Yeah, maybe one day.

Do yous want another drink?

A pint of lager for me, pal.

The usual.

A pint of lager, please. And, eh...

..a vodka tonic.

Coming up.

Is she gone?

She'll be on the next bus.

That'll be in about ten minutes.

All the buses leave here at 14 minutes past.

Cos if there's anything I know about this place,

it's how to get out.

Can I get two bags of crisps, please?

Thanks.

You've got about nine minutes.

Yeah, nine minutes.

Cheese and onion, please. Thanks.

Love?

I was just joining.

I'll be back, Mum. Oh.

I promise.

What...?

SEAGULLS SQUAWK

LAUGHTER

RUNNING FOOTSTEPS

Wait!

Wait!

Wait.

Fuck!

Fuck!

JADE GROANS

SHALLOW BREATHING

Do you think that course worked, then?

Cos a while ago you'd have punched a hole in that bus stop.

You were watching?

But I thought... I know.

You said you were... I know, but...

But I couldn't go without...

..without asking you something.

What?

Did you really mean it when you said you loved me?

Cos...

..I think I might really love you.

Like, I used to think that this was lust between us but...

..after what you said the other day I realised

this has always been love.

What I felt for you was love.

And, look, I know it's not perfect,

I know there's things to work on, but...

..why would I run away from love?

And so I wanted to ask you.

Do you really love me? Because...

Yes.

Yes, of course I really love you.

Thank fuck!
