"I'm sure you will meet him, hopefully soon, but before that happens" "I have to know what I'm getting you into, don't I?" " Eh?" " Yeah." "So..." "I'll email him now." "Why don't you go and see what you can get for tea with this?" "How did you find him?" "Your mum kept diaries." " Can I see them?" " No, you can't, no." "They're in the car."

"Yeah, um..." "Yeah, I like him a lot, and so does Robin." "No, I'm just saying who wants their ears bashed all afternoon by a nine-year-old?" "But Robin's a bit older, isn't he, so maybe that makes a difference?" "EVIE:" "This is my room, not yours!" "Get out..." "Oi!" "Pack it in, Ewan." " In fact, come down here." " I'm doing something."

"The food's very good here, but I wondered perhaps if you'd like to meet my wife and children and... you know, see where we live and..." "Yeah, that would probably make sense, actually." "Yeah, good." "Good." "Can I ask how Lucy is?" "She's very excited." " Right." " Yeah." "Sorry, is this where you and Rita came for lunch?" "When you met, when the two of you used to meet up." "I'm not sure." "Um... yeah, I think we probably did once or twice." "Three times maybe." "Rooms nice?" "Are the beds comfortable?" "I don't know, sorry." " No?" " No, I've never stayed here." "Really?" "Have you still got those tapes of Lucy when she was..." "I think she was four?" "Four and half, yeah." "No, no, I was only allowed to watch, not keep." "Right." "So where did you watch them?" "It's only I didn't have a camcorder back then so..." "I shot everything on super 8, put it on to VHS." "So where did you watch them?" "Is there a TV lounge or...?" "No, I had a machine in my office." "I still do, I think." "It's just round the corner, the office." "Um..." "As I remember it, we'd have lunch, then if Rita had brought a cassette, then we'd adjourn there for coffee." "Oh, right." "Right." "Lucy's very eager to meet you, so..." " OK, we can do this very carefully." " Yeah, thanks." "OK, we're just up here." " Come in." " Thanks." "Nice to meet you." "Francine, Jemma, Alice." " This is Dave." " Hi."

"Yes, but I also have a grown-up daughter from my first marriage," "Tanya." "Oh, wonderful!" "A big sister for everyone." "That's beautiful." "Yeah, thank you." "The girls thought Lucy might like some photos of us." "Yeah, thanks." "And with regard to meeting Lucy, if you give your solicitor these, that should speed up any remaining checks." "Can I have the name of your solicitor?" "Ah, yeah." "Robin Knowles." "Of Knowles and Lunkhart?" "Highcrown Road." "Yeah, he's my brother-in-law, well, he would be if Rita and I had..." "And is he acting for you against the police over the compensation claim?" "Yeah, how's that going?" "I really don't know." "I leave all that to him." "He's a good man." "He's family, so..." "Dave, no, I don't doubt it, but I promise you, when the police see Knowles and Lunkhart coming they will be grinning from ear to ear." "Please, this makes a huge difference over the settlement you get." "Seriously." "If you don't go with a firm who've got clout..." "Yeah, thanks for your advice." ".. they will rob you, Dave."

"He had this huge, plush house, all tasteful, everything just so." "I made the place untidy just being there." "That's the only dilemma." "I just keep thinking, "How's Lucy going to fit into this?"" "But, you know, so much money." "Dad!" "I'm really trying to be cool about this." "Yeah, OK." "Dad, come to me first, cos I'm hot like I was when Sarah was here." "Dave, just see Evie first." "Dad." "Dad, please." "Lucy, two minutes, then you can have my full attention." "But am I seeing him?" " Next Saturday." " Dad, Robin got us this." " Come and have a go." " Yeah, in a bit."

"I'm glad I've got you in the right mood." "Yeah, um..." "First of all, thank you for yesterday, for the petrol station but the reason that my cards got refused is cos I've run out of money."

"I'm sorry, I've lost your letter about the compensation offer from the police." "But I think you said something about an interim offer." "I'm just wondering if I could have it, you know."

"Look, Dave, money's no object, but... vis-a-vis the compensation, um..." "Stuart Quinlan called." " What?" " Please wait." "I was asking for this amount." " How much?" " Yeah." "But Stuart can get you double that." " I don't want him involved." " Dave." " No." " Dave!" "This is for the children." "They've lost Rita." "OK, and money is no compensation." "Nothing is enough, but..." "I could never get that for you." "Stuart's right." "The police haven't got a leg to stand on and yet they're walking all over me because I'm small fry."

"Then I find out... about Stuart and how that worked." "How what worked?" "She picked him out." "No strings." "So he gets to have her, she gets Lucy." "And when we tried for a baby for Paul, and we'd only just started," "Rita goes AWOL for six weeks." "Yeah." "And it's in her diary." "It says, "Not sure about Dave.

" Hello." " Hi!" "Hey, you lot!" "Come and see what you've got from Edinburgh." "Come on." "Beatty?" "Beatty?" " Oh, a PlayStation!" " With games." "Is that a PlayStation 3?" " Hey, what is it, Beatty?" "Hey!" " PAUL:" "Dad!" "Mum hated PlayStations." "Hated them!" "Yeah, I'll deal with that in a minute." "What is it?" " EWAN:" "Who got us it?" " LUCY:" "My dad." "Here." "Now tell me about Robin and Anna." "It's to do with Robin giving Rita's compensation claim to that other company." "Anna said if he did that, she'd leave him." " He wouldn't back down." " Oh!" "And he's left her." "With the dog." "He's taken the dog." "I'll call him." "Well, you can try, but you'll just get his message saying he's fine, which is more than can be said for Anna." "Well, you'll see for yourself tomorrow." "How was Edinburgh?" "So you knew I was going out for the day." "You arranged..." "You actually encouraged me to go out for the day." "Hang on." "This is supposed to be a nice surprise." "You know..." "The only reason I got the estate agents..." "I haven't finished yet!" " I wouldn't bother." " Sarah!" "They've valued the flat, that's all." "It's not on the market." "It's just so we can see all our options." "Well, this is what you get for that money in Manchester and Liverpool." "All right, listen." "It's not a big deal." "Oh, no, I think it is." "I think that getting away from here is obviously what you want and given as it's not what I want, why don't we just..." "I'm not going to put this as a question." "Let's just do it." "Let's just call it a day." "Let's face it." "What exactly have we got in common any more?" "Cos I can't remember." "Is there anything?" "I don't think there is." "Hang on, hang on." "Sarah, don't!" "Wha...?" "# Happy birthday to you. #" "EWAN:" "Right, blow them out in one." "(CHEERING)" "(EVERYONE TALKING)" "Try it on!" "Oh, yes!" "Who's that from?" "From Robin." "I asked him for one ages ago." "And it's a beauty." " What is it?" "A bible?" " Yeah." "A strange choice." "Where's Robin, anyway?" "Oh, he's at a conference in the Lake District so he's very sorry that he couldn't be here." "(TEARFUL) I'll..." "I'll just..." "Open mine!" "Anna." " You and Robin, I feel responsible." " Dave." "Dave, um..." "There is only one person to blame for this situation and that is Robin." "He insists that he is right, but he is utterly wrong and when he gets to his senses and apologises, then normal relations will be resumed." "OK, yes, it's fine." "Here we are!" "Ooh!" "What's that?" " Digital photo frame!" " Hey, nice!" "Oh, thank you." "Lovely." " Where are Matt and Sarah?" " Oh, they were doing something." "I did ask." "Yeah, Sarah's giving Paul £10, but she's going to give it to Evie at school." "Yes, I'm going to school tomorrow." "Paul, look!" "There you go, and there's loads of room." "You can load whatever you want on after." " EVIE:" "Is that me?" " PAUL:" "Yes, and that's you and Mum." "DAVE:" "Ah!" "What a handsome family!" "Look at that!" "Whoa!" "You like doing that, don't you?" "Careful, girls!" "Bye, sweetheart." "Off you go." "Have a good day, see you later." "That is the address of the pub on the other side of town" "I'm going to meet you in tonight." "If you don't come" " I'll be round your flat." " Dave!" "Cos I love you." "Please be there." "Eight o'clock." "Sorry!" "Sorry, hi!" "Hi." "It's OK." "What?" "Oh." "Have you seen the new museum photos I did?" "Sorry." "Oh, yeah, yeah, but it's not that." "I... opened an email." "Thought it was a booking." "It wasn't." "It was from Aitkenson and Dewer." "Something about compensation for Rita." "Oh." "It's all right." "You weren't to know." "Can you not talk to Mum about this, yeah?" "She was here when I opened it, um..." "She was picking up Samuel." "It's not a bloody creche." "This is where we work." "Take that back." "Sorry, sorry." "It's taken back, sorry." "Sorry." "But is it true about Paul and Ewan and Evie?" "What?" "It just said something... like..." "That they're not legally yours" ".. because you and Rita weren't ever married." "Hey." "D'you want a drink?" "Er, no, thanks." "OK, look..." "Dave... .. I've actually got a few things that I need to say." "OK, but, please, cos this is important, right?" "You knew what I felt about you from the moment we first kissed." "You knew and I knew, and that was before I had any doubts about Rita, before I even knew that Stuart existed." "You know that's true, don't you?" "Yeah." "All right." "But it's what happened after you found out they were meeting cos that's when you moved things on." "Yeah, because before that I was..." "I was guilt-ridden." "Yeah, we both were." "We still are." "No, I don't feel that any more." "Why is that?" "What I feel for you is..." "It's separate to what I feel about Rita." "Oh, Dave!" "Joined at the hip." "No, not for me." "Right, well, then, that's our problem." "I am still guilty." "I'm guilty about Rita, I'm guilty about Matt." " About Matt, yeah." " But it's Rita where it really lies." "I still love her and I can't unravel what I've been doing since she died." "It's just all too close." "I'm talking time." "You know?" "This is just..." "It's happened too fast." "I'm talking you and me." "Is it proximity?" "Or are we just using each other or is it just a way for me not to be with Matt?" "And the kids..." "Do I want to be with them for them or for Rita?" "Or is that just another way for me to be even closer to you?" "I think about these things all the time and none of them are clear cut, but..." "But what is clear cut is I don't believe Rita ever cheated on you." "In that way." "Are you saying she didn't deceive me?" "She deceived me." "Right." "We could go round in circles." "Cos you've had a thought and it's taken hold, but..." ".. there's a way to really put this to rest, to really move on." "What's this?" "It's a paternity test." "So you would take a swab from Paul, Ewan, Evie and yourself and you seal it up and send it to the lab in Glasgow." "When you get the results, it will confirm exactly what I'm telling you." "No, I can't do that, no." " Dave." " No, I can't." "Sorry, no." "Why not?" "Because I don't think they are mine." "Dave!" " How's your shoulder?" " Hi." " Jimbo." " How's your shoulder?" " Fine, yeah." " Great!" "Wait till I tell the lads." "Cos I've been playing in goal." "Look at the state of me, I could have saved tuppence." "Oh, Rita." "Rita, right?" "We've not been introduced." "I'm Jimbo." "What a darling." "No wonder you got rid of what's-her-face." "Oh, and, Dave, I chucked Fat Face on your advice." "She's gone, departed, she's been D" " I-V-O-R-C-E-D as we speak." "Jimbo, we're kind of in the middle of something." "Oh, you're on for Sunday, yeah?" "Six o'clock kick-off?" "Yeah." "Watch me skip away as I go and phone the lads." "Nice to meet you, Rita." "Will you tell him, d'you think?" "I don't know, maybe not." "It's a bit of an oasis." "The way things were before all this." "Yeah." "I ended it with Matt the other night." "I mean, it's been wrong for a long time." "If it was ever right." "I didn't mention you and me." "Right." "And as for us, Dave, I..." "You see, the thing is I've got this..." "I've got this great capacity for screwing things up, so..." "You know, just witness my life and everything that I've actually achieved in it in a relationship, which is..." "But given what I feel for you and the complete and utter mess that surrounds everything about us..." "I, um..." "I want to clear the decks." "And give us every chance possible." "I know this is really hard, but if you don't do the same then I'm gone." "Cos it will kill it stone dead." "And I can't bear that." "There is someone else, isn't there?" "Course there is." "You don't do on your own." "I'm going to ask this weekend if she wants me to begin adoption procedures." " Have you seen Ewan this morning?" " Ewan!" "Police, please." "I will never forgive you for this!" "Sarah!" "There's a way to really put this to rest."
