"I don't want to be torn to pieces and if you think about it, neither do you." " I'm not going if Lizzie's not going." " She's going." " I'm not staying by myself." " You're going, aren't you?" " Lizzie?" " Liz?" " All right, Flash, what's your plan?" " Great." "I've got a car but it's gonna be a bit cramped now." "Has anyone got transport?" " Yes!" " Great." "Where?" "Oh, no." "Well, I've passed my test." "David?" "I don't see the point of owning a car in London." "Look, just get any blunt objects together." "If you get cornered, bash them in the head." "Keep together, stay sharp and follow me." "So, what's the plan, then?" "We're going to the Winchester." "OK?" "Let's go." " Come on." " Where's the car?" "What's up, niggaz?" "Apologies for the cramped conditions." "Di, stay on David's lap." "Philip, hang in there, OK?" "Ed, get there fast." "And, Mum, this is Liz." "Liz, Mum." "Hello." "Ed, be careful." " Is your dad all right?" " He's not my dad." " He's bleeding." " I know!" "Ed, be careful." "Thought you wanted to get there fast?" "I want to get there in one piece!" "Why are we going this way?" "Chill out, it's a short cut." " That road goes to the Winchester." " Shaun..." " Liz, please!" " I don't understand why the Winchester?" " It's a pub, it's safe, it's secure." " They know us." " What makes it so secure?" " It's got big heavy doors and deadbolts." "And there's a rifle above the bar." " I would think that's deactivated." " It's not." "John's connected." "Big Al says so." "Big Al also says dogs can't look up." " They can't." " Can't they?" " Of course they can!" " Are you sure?" "Yes!" "The pub is the right place to go." "Everything is gonna be fine." " Shaun..." " I turned it off, all right?" "What?" " Being a father, it's not easy." " What?" "You were 12 when I met you, you'd already grown up so much." "I just wanted you to be strong and not give up because you lost your dad." " Philip, you don't have to explain." " No, I do." "I always loved you, Shaun." "And I always thought you had it in you to do well." "You just need... m-motivation." "Somebody to look up to and..." "I thought it could be me." "Would you just... take care of your mum?" "There's a good boy." " Ed, can you pull over?" " Two seconds." " Ah!" "Ed, please pull over." " What for?" " Just pull over!" " All right." "Whoa, momma!" " What the hell are you doing?" " Chill out." "Everyone's all right." "Stop telling me to chill out!" " And everybody is not all right." " What's wrong?" "Mum, it's Philip, he's gone." " Where's he gone?" " Mum, he's dead." "No, he isn't." "Get out!" "Jesus!" " Get it open!" " Ed, get the child locks!" "Quick!" " The child lock!" " Ed!" " Now what?" " We keep moving." " How do we get Philip out the car?" " We haven't got time." " We can't leave your dad." " He's not my dad!" "Mum, he was, but he's not any more." " I really think we could..." " That's not your husband in there." "OK?" "It looks like him but there is nothing of the man you loved in that car." "Let's go, shall we?" "You're not suggesting we walk?" " Everybody OK?" " Yeah, we're having a whale of a time." "Maybe we should all hold hands, make a crocodile?" "Do you know where we're going?" " David, come on." " Sorry." " Do you, though?" " Yeah, totally." "Are we close?" "We're pretty close." " Is your mum gonna be OK?" " Yeah, I hope so." " Did you contact your folks?" " They're in Antigua." " Do you think this is happening there?" " I hope not." "About last night." "I know loads of things were said but..." " You said this wasn't about us." " No, it's not." " You said it was about survival." " It is, but..." "You're not just trying to prove something?" "I meant everything I said last night." " Maybe this isn't the best time to talk." " OK." "Shaun." "Yvonne." " How's it going?" " Er, surviving." "Hey, Liz." "Long time no see." "Hey, Yvonne." "Erm... this is my boyfriend, Declan." "Erm... my friends Mark, Maggie," " my mum and my cousin Tom." " All right." "This is Shaun and his girlfriend Liz." " They've split up, actually." " Oh, really?" " Yeah." " That's a shame." "We should scoot." "Have you got somewhere you're going?" " Yeah, we're going to the Winchester." " The pub?" " Yeah." " Right, well." "Good luck!" "Hi." "Hello." "Hi." "Hello." "All right." "See?" "The Winchester's just over there." " Over where?" " Over there." "Just over there, over the 20 garden fences?" "What's the matter, David?" "Never taken a short cut before?" "Shaun." "I'm sure Jill and Derek live round here." "Now, the Winchester is just over that fence, all right?" "Everyone stay where they are, I'll..." "Are we all here?" " One, two, three, four, five." "Yes." " There's six of us." "Mum!" "I'm coming!" "Mum, are you OK?" "Are you OK?" "I don't think Jill and Derek do live here." "Shaun?" "Are you all right?" "What are you doing?" "Shaun!" "Yes!" "No, that's rubbish." " Ooh!" " Yes!" "Feel free to step in any time." " You did all right." " I didn't want to cramp your style." "I'm so sorry about that." "Right." "OK, everyone stay where they are." "I'm gonna check if the coast is clear." " Is it clear?" " No." " How many?" " Lots." "Oh, well, that is just great." "There are a fair few of them, yes." "I trust Shaun has another genius scheme up his sleeve?" "This is hardly constructive, David!" " We should have stayed at the flat." " Why didn't you?" "Because..." "Because, because of..." "Captain Wow." " Will you stop it?" " We'll get nowhere moaning." "Right, let's all shake out." "Get nice and limber." "Or not." "Take another look at the way he moves." "Remember, very limp." "Almost like sleepwalking." "Look at the face, it's vacant with a hint of sadness." "Like a drunk who's lost a bet." "OK, let's try, shall we?" "Liz." "Nice." "Good vocal work." "OK." "Barbara, that's excellent." "Sorry, dear, I was miles away." " D-Daffs." " Uh." " Come on!" " Urgh." "It's mournful, sorrowful, you're dead and you hate it." "Go." "Uuurgh." " Much better." "Ed." " I'll do it on the night." "This is the night!" " What is that?" " What about yours?" "Who died and made you fucking king of the zombies?" "Don't..." "Yeah, that's pretty good." "Right, let's all try together, shall we?" "One, two, three." "Go, go, go, go." "Shit!" "Get round me, get round me!" "John?" "John, Bernie, are you there?" "It's Shaun and Ed." "We come in all the time." " They can hear you." " We do the quiz." " They know." " Stay in character!" " I can't see them." " Shaun, we have to get inside." " Break the window." " We'll be exposed!" " Break the window!" " Is there another way in?" "Yeah, there's..." "Two seconds." "Hey, Noodle." " 'All right?" "'" " Yeah, man, I can't talk now." " 'You get anything yet?" "'" " I got nothing." "I'm in the middle of something." "Yeah, it's weird." " Oi!" "What are you doing?" " What are you doing?" "You stupid moron." " Fuck off." " You fuck off!" "Fuck fucking off!" "I've spent an entire life..." "Look at me." "I've spent my entire life sticking up for you and all you ever do is fuck things up and make me look stupid." "I'm not gonna let you do it any more." "Not today!" "Shaun." "Oh." "You were saying about another way in?" "Yeah, there's a..." "What are you doing?" " No!" " Get inside." "No, they'll follow us." "Keep up the act, I'll have to do something." " What do you mean do something?" " Hello, hello, over here!" "Come on, that's it." "Come on, that's it, over here!" "Over here!" "Come on." "Oh, bollocks." " Wait till I've gone then get inside." " Gone where?" "I won't be long, I promise." "Come on, you pasty-faced fuckers, let's go!" "Follow me." "Come on, this way, that's it!" "Come on." "This way, follow me." "Come on, follow me." "Come and get it." "It's a running buffet." "All you can eat!" "Shall we go in, then?" " Come on, Barbara." "Leave those." " I think they're for me." " He's been gone a good 20 minutes." " 17." "Either way, we need to think about blocking up this window." "We're totally exposed." " How will Shaun get back in?" " I'm sure he'll knock." " Let's get some lights on." " David, wait!" " Power's off." " That's a good thing." " We mustn't advertise our whereabouts." " No, of course not." " Do we, David?" " No, of course not, Lizzie." "I'm just being proactive." "There's no lights, no power." "And there's a hole in the window." " You did that, you twat." " Somebody had to do something!" "We were in a spot of bother." "Somebody has to take control of the situation and if none of you are prepared to accept that responsibility then perhaps..." "I should." " Will Shaun be gone long?" " He'll be back soon." " How do you know?" " I don't think he'd leave us." "Wouldn't he?" "How can you trust a man you binned for being unreliable?" "A man whose idea of a romantic nightspot is also an impenetrable fortress." "This is a pub!" "We are in a pub!" "What are we going to do?" "I could get a round in." "Let's just wait for Shaun." "We'll barricade the window when he gets back." "What then?" "How long?" "Days?" "Weeks?" "A month?" " What are we going to eat?" " Toasties!" " There's a Breville out back." " Great." "Saved by nibbles." "Must be why Shaun took us here before he left." " He's coming back!" " Why?" "Because he promised?" "If he does, do you think his master plan will be anything more than eating peanuts?" "Is he just gonna stroll in and suddenly everything's OK?" "I don't know, David!" "I don't know any more than you do." "But what I do know is that we're here now and we have to make the best of it." " Ed, get me a double vodka." " Right you are." "I'll have a drink too." "Would you like a drink, Barbara?" " Hello." " Right, great, fuck it." "We'll have a party and get completely smashed." "We've got our nibbles." "We've got our Mini Cheddars." " David!" " We got Twiglets." "Oh, look, hog lumps." "Pickle!" "Hello, Mum." "You all right?" " Everybody OK?" " Yeah." " Any sign of John and Bernie?" " No." " Check upstairs?" " It's locked." " Phones?" " Dead." "Same as the power." " OK..." " Nice of you to join us." "Yeah, well, I promised, didn't I?" "How did you lose them?" "I just gave them the slip." "Wasn't difficult." "They're not all that." " Well, how did you get in?" " The back door." "I tried to tell you before you smashed the window." "But it wasn't me blowing our cover by arguing with my boyfriend." " He's not my boyfriend." " Might be a bit warm, the cooler's off." "Thanks, babe." "So, what's the plan, then?" "Would anyone like a peanut?" "Why don't you do your Clyde?" "Has anyone seen Every Which Way But Loose?" "Ed does the most amazing impression of the orang-utan." " No, it's not." " It is." "Come on." "Do it." " No, no." " But it's brilliant." "Come on." " You've built it up too much." " No, just do it." "Everyone wants to see it." "We could do with a laugh." "Do it, do it, do it, do it." "Come on, do it." "I'm not a performing monkey." " The power's on." " It's not, I tried it earlier." "The streetlights are on." "I'll flip the fuses, we can watch television." " What about the lights?" " Yes." "Don't advertise our whereabouts." "The lights are on a separate circuit." "Just flip the mains breakers." "It's quite simple, David." " Is that it?" " That's it." "Liz, erm... have you got a quid?" "Erm..." "Yeah." "Never anything on, is there?" "What?" " I think we might have a bit of a problem." " What do you mean?" " They followed me." " I thought you said you gave them the slip." "Yeah." "Well, we'll just have to be extra quiet then, won't we?" "What?" "Ed, no!" "Turn it off!" "Shit!" " Where the hell did he come from?" " I dunno." " Who put this on?" " It's on random." "Dianne, get Mum somewhere safe." "David, kill the Queen." " What?" "!" " The jukebox!" " Liz, Ed, grab a weapon." " What about the rifle?" " Cocktails?" " What do you mean?" "The flaming spirits Get a rag in, light it." " But the whole place could go up." " What, then?"

"Nice shot." "OK, David, Dianne, let's block up this window!" "Ed, take over a sec." " What is it?" "What's wrong?" " Shaun, I'm so sorry." " Mum, what's wrong?" " I didn't want to be a bother." " Mum, what's wrong?" " I didn't want to be a bother." " Mum, I don't understand." " The man in his pyjamas." "I didn't want to say anything, I thought you'd be upset." "No, you should've said." " Take over a sec." " What's going on?" " What's up?" " What the hell's going on?" " Barbara's hurt!" " Just take over a minute." "Jesus." "I know first aid." "Just hang on." "Mum!" " Mum." " Is she...?" "Just hold on, Mum, you're gonna be fine." " I never thanked you." " For what?" "For these. "To a wonderful mum."" "It's been a funny sort of day, hasn't it?" "Oh, no, no!" "Mum, come on." "Stop it, stop it, stop it." "Mum." "Please don't go." " What are you doing?" " We have to deal with her." " Daffs!" " For Christ's sake!" " She's gonna come back!" " She's not going anywhere." " She'll change." " She's my mum!" " She's a zombie." " Don't say that." "Move aside." "I'm gonna count to three." "One... two... three!" " Don't point that gun at my mum!" " Calm down." "Don't point that gun at Barbara!" " Ed, don't exacerbate things!" " What's that mean?" " This isn't exactly fair." " Here." " Thank you." " It's OK." "Please, can we just stop and think about this?" "Tell him to put the gun down!" "She's gonna change." "You know I'm right." "And when she does, she'll kill all of us." "That's what your ex can't seem to realise." "That's what this is about, isn't it?" "He doesn't like me!" "He's always hated me and now he wants to shoot my mum." " She's not..."

" I know you only hung out with me to get close to Liz and when she knocked you back, I was there to pick up the pieces." "I've come to terms with that, Daffs, why can't you?" "Lizzie, I want you to know that my feelings for you..." "David!" "There are slightly more pressing matters at hand here." " Like "Daffs" pointing a gun at my mum." " I'm not being unreasonable, "Pickle"." " Christ, she's not dead!" " She's finished." "For a hero, you're quite a hypocrite." "You've gone from a chartered accountant to Charlton Heston." "I'm not a chartered accountant." " Well, you look like one." " Yeah." " I'm a lecturer." " You're a twat." "She's not your mum." "In a minute she'll be just another zombie." " Don't say that." " We're not using the Z word." "Please can we just calm the fuck down!" "Now, I can see what David is trying to say..." " Thank you." " Even if he is being a twat." "Yep." "And, Shaun..." "Shaun, look at me." "I can't begin to imagine how hard this must be for you but we can't afford to fall apart." "Shaun, babe..." "I know you don't wanna hear this..." "You do it." "I'm sorry, Mum." "Do it!" "Well..." "I think we're all agreed, you did the right thing there." "David, no!" "David!" " Right, I'm leaving." " What?" " I'm not staying here." " David, it's suicide." " I think you should go." " We will." "We can defend ourselves." " What do you mean "we"?" " What do you mean?" "Opening that door now would be a very silly thing to do." " You gonna stay here with him?" " Look..." " After where he led us?" " Let me finish!" "Shaun didn't ask you to come here." "You came for the same reason I did." " Get away from that door this instant!" " But..." "David!" "I'm so sorry, Dianne." "Maybe I'm not the one you should be apologising to." "Shaun..." "David!" "No!" "No!" "No!" "No!" "David!" " No!" "No!" " David!" "David!" "Dianne, no!" "I'm coming, David!" "David!" "Oh dear." " Cocktails?" " Do it." "Stay back!" "Shaun, hold them!" "Heads!" " Ed!" " Hurry up!" "Shauny, look who it is." "Fuck-a-doodle-doo!" "Ed!" " Shaun!" " Ed!" "Don't groan at me, you thick fuck!" "I can't hold them!" "No!" " Shaun!" " Pete!" "I said leave him alone!" "Ed." "Ed!" "Shaun, bar!" "Ed!" "Ed!" "Ed!" "What?" "Chuck us a cloth, will you?" " Where are the shells?" " They're on the bar." "Oh, fuck." "Ow!" "Fuck it!" "What are we gonna do?" "Where are we gonna go?" " The cellar." " Maybe we can get out!" " There's a hatch out on to the street." " You mean go back outside?" "Oh, give us a fucking break!" "Go!" "I can see the street." "Come on." "Come on!" "Why won't it open?" "That's it then, we're trapped." ""Hey, let's go to the Winchester!"" "Whose fucking idea was that?" "Man, I've really ballsed this up." " No, you haven't." " I have, Liz." "I couldn't save us." "I couldn't save Di or David." "I couldn't even save Mum." "I'm useless." "You shouldn't feel so responsible, you tried." "You did something, that's what counts." "Yeah, I suppose." "Do you think they'll get through?" "Yeah." "How many shells have we got left?" "Erm... two." "I suppose we could take a few of them out if they stand in a line." "I wasn't thinking about them." "I know." " What about Ed?" "There's only two shells." " I don't mind being eaten." "How are we gonna do this?" "I don't know." "Erm..." "One of us has to go first." "One should do the other and then do themselves." "You should do me." "I'll muck it up if I have to do myself." "I don't think I've got it in me to shoot my flatmate, my mum and my girlfriend all in the same evening." "What makes you think I've taken you back?" "Well... you don't want to die single, do you?" "Actually..." "I would like to be shot." "Besides, I've changed." "I haven't had a fag since yesterday, I promise." "He hasn't." "Maybe we should have one now." " You left them in my flat." " Yeah, in the bin." " I was desperate." " Sneaky monkey." " Sorry." " I won't say anything." "Come on, we're getting out of here." " I might just stay here." " But we can get out." " You two should make a go of it." " What are you talking about?" " I only hold you back." " Yeah, but..." "Maybe you should have this." " Don't you want it?" " No." "I can't hit anything with it anyway, I'm rubbish." " Ed, I'm sorry." " What for?" " Cos I was shouting at you earlier on." " It's all right." "I'm sorry too." "It's OK." "No..." "I'm sorry, Shaun." "Oh, God!" "That's not funny." " I'll stop doing 'em when you stop laughing." " I'm not laughing." "You'd better be off." "Bye, Ed." "Love you." "Cheers." "I love you too, man." "Gay." " Ready?" " Ready." "Section One." "Ready." "Zombies to your front." "Fire!" "Fire!" "Oh, my God!" "Shaun!" "Yvonne?" " How are you doing?" " Surviving." "They're taking us somewhere safe."
