Episode 5

Look, I'm going to call you an ambulance.
I don't need an ambulance.
Jesus Christ, where's Donna? Look at your face.
I think she's with that guy from earlier.
Why would she tell anyone they look like Judy Finnegan.
It was Judy Finnegan.
Since when does Judy Finnegan carry a blade? Oh, God, Louise, you're really going to need stitches in that.
- I can see jelly.
- Really? Where we going now, then? Stop pulling it, you'll make it worse.
What about this place? Karen, they just spent the last 15 minutes throwing you out.
What? Come on, they know me.
Look, I'm calling an ambulance, and that's it.
Karen, can you look after Louise while I go and find.
I can't get up there.
Louise, can you look after Karen while I find Donna? [SLURRING.]
Shall we see if we can get a late drink somewhere? One more.
Come on.
One little more.
Wait there.
(INDISTINC CROWD CHATTER) Ooh, I could kiss you all night.
Why don't you then? Got to get back to the wife and kids.
- Ooh! Ooh! I was joking.
- What? I was joking.
I was - I haven't got kids and a-- - Oh, shit.
Oh, you really caught my nose.
- Oh, shit, sorry, you said-- - No, no, it doesn't - matter, it was my fault.
- Oh, God, you're bleeding.
Am I? No, I'm fine.
Fine.
Christ, I'm such an idiot.
- Have you got a tissue? - Yeah, yeah, hang on.
I suppose that rules out the kissing all night then.
Well, I'm bleeding from my nose.
Shit! Sorry.
[AMBULANCE SIREN.]
Well, it was, you know, it was nice.
Hey, are you doing anything tomorrow? Louise? Louise! There's room if you want to go with her.
Louise, I'll see you back at the house.
I'm gonna get a take-away, I'm starving.
Yeah, I've got it.
I've got it.
[ENGINE STARTS.]
Hi.
Where are the girls? Er, in an ambulance, I think it's gone.
I love Fridays.
Hey, what are you doing now? Let's go dancing.
It's 3.
30.
Let's go dancing at my house.
I've got a bottle of wine, we can make martinis.
Donna, are you okay? Flipping brilliant.
Was there anyone there that could back you up? Did your friends or boyfriend see - what happened? - I don't have a boyfriend.
You should think about filing a - report with-- - Do you have a boyfriend? Yeah, I do.
- He's my fiance.
- I haven't had sex in two years.
Yeah.
Look, just keep the pressure on.
Two years on Friday.
Okay, well Two years without penetrative sex.
Two years since I felt the weight of a man on me.
And, actually, he wasn't even on me, - he was behind me.
So-- - I'm going to ask you to stop talking now because you'll split that stitch.
- Stitch? - Just shut up.
Found it.
On the floor.
I mean, I would have never seen myself in the catering industry either.
My best subject at school was geography, you know.
Er, and humanities as well, was another one - that I seemed to have-- - Gonna go bed.
Donna? Donna? - Donna? - What? Where should I sleep? Sleep on the sofa.
I I think someone's been sick on it.
It smells a bit.
Oh, god, just get in with me.
Well, ifif that's alright with you.
I'll just Just get in! [MUMBLING.]
- Morning.
- Hi.
Sleep okay? Yeah, yeah, very well.
I'm just going to brush my teeth.
I feel like I've been sucking on dried rat.
[GRUNTS.]
[GROANS.]
[SPITS.]
What's the longest you've ever gone without sex? - What kind? - Any kind.
Any kind of sex.
What's the longest? 12 years.
12 years? Karen, are you talking about the first 12 years of your life? - A week then.
- A week? Do you fancy coming to the pub tonight, you can give me some tips.
I can't go to the pub, I'm giving up drinking.
I'm sorry, I don't understand.
Look, Richard, I no offence, but er, I don't really want people to know that I had sex with you.
Are you embarrassed? No, just ashamed.
Okay.
- Well, I'll just sit there quietly-- - No, no, I don't want you to come down to breakfast, because it'll just look weird.
Oh.
Well, then how should I? Well, if you just go out the window by the toilet, and then over that fence at the back, then you just have to pop through that estate and er, you hit the main road.
- It's quicker, probably.
- Okay.
It was fun though, wasn't it? No, it wasn't.
It was a mistake.
I mean, we were both extremely drunk.
I wasn't drunk.
Well, in that case it's practically rape, so you should shut up, and if you tell anyone about it, I'm going to call the police.
Hi, Karen.
Hi, Louise.
God, I slept well.
Like a log.
- When was the last time you had sex? - I haven't had sex.
What are you talking about? I was sleeping, so I need to do it soon, otherwise it's two years without sex.
I've been setting my standards too high, and I need to aim a bit lower, like you Donna.
What are you talking about? I haven't got low standards.
You slept with Gary the barman, you've got no standards.
That was an accident.
- Why are you talking about that? - How do you do it though? How do you not care about how you let inside you? I was with Karl for five years.
I don't sleep around.
Of course you do.
You just doctor the figures a little.
I do not! Is that what you think of me? I meant it as a compliment, Donna.
How could that possibly be a compliment? Look, I'm not saying you're easy or something, but Well, actually, I am saying that, but what I'm saying is it's empowering.
I'm easy.
What about Karen? Yeah, but not Abi Titmus easy, Germaine Greer easy.
I'm not easy, Louise.
Alright! Let me tell you something, last night I met a gorgeous man and I did not bring him home.
I could have, but I didn't.
I took his number, I kissed him, but at the end of the night he went his way and I went mine, because I do not just sleep with anyone.
II couldn't go over the fence, Donna, because there's razor wire out there, and these are Dolce and Gabbana, so I'm just gonna slip out the front door.
Bye.
Could I have the jam? [MAN LAUGHS.]
- Oh, my god, that's awful.
- Yeah.
She was pretty upset.
I mean, I would be if it was my son.
What amazed me was her stamina.
I mean, you have to be fairly fit to throw a wedding cake at someone's front door for eight hours.
And so are you and Karl still friends? Yeah, yeah, best friends.
Well, not at the moment, he's not talking to me.
And has there been anyone since? Yeah, well, you know, the odd Actually, Sam, now we're on the subject, there was something I wanted to tell you.
Don't be silly.
Listen, since I split up with Chrissie, I haven't exactly been a monk myself.
- Yeah, but this is different, because-- - No, it isn't.
I hate all that double standards, men can sleep around but women can't bollocks.
Me too.
Listen, you punched me in the face when you thought I was cheating on you.
I really like that.
- I know what kind of person you are.
- Right.
You've got standards.
Yeah.
Yeah, about a lot of things.
Yeah, but II don't like to make judgements because sometimes there are reasons why people, - good people, make stupid-- - Chrissie cheated on me.
- Did she? - Yeah.
Yeah, that was why we split up.
Actually, I found out she'd been cheating on me all along.
That's terrible.
Yeah.
Well, no, what was terrible was that it was Well, let's just say it wasn't a one-off.
- Oh, god.
- Yeah.
She was a slag.
Big slag.
Just my luck.
Slags.
I just hate slags.
They're they're really Youyou just can't you can't trust.
Was that a pint of Stella? Is it okay if I sit here? So how's the kitchen? How's it going in the kitchen? Good.
So how do you like London? Have you got friends here? Friends in London.
Yes, my brother and my cousin.
Wow.
So what do you guys do for fun? For fun, like to go to drum and base club.
London has best clubs in the world.
Best music.
Yeah.
Yes, we do.
- Thank you.
- Listen.
You like music? - Yeah, I love-- - I like music that makes me feel my cock.
Actually, Oleg, I don't mean to correct your English, but I think what - you meant to be saying was-- - Makes me feel every vein in my cock is pumping with blood.
The music can do that.
Makes you feel alive.
Right.
I'm just going to eat this.
You like to come out with me? Listen to music? Yes.
Yes, I'd love to.
So how's the not drinking going? S'easy.
So long as I don't think about anything whatsoever, I'm fine.
- Oh, well, so that's positive.
- Yeah.
What you all dressed up for? I'm meeting Sam.
- In a pub, is it? - No, no, restaurant.
Yeah.
They'll be a wine list though.
Probably.
Er, listen, Karen, do you think I should tell Sam about Richard? Why would you tell him? Well, because I like him Karen.
I mean, I don't want to jump the gun or anything, but what if we get married.
You know, I mean, what what if he's the father of my children? What what about when I meet his family.
I mean, I'm sitting there opposite his mum, and she's telling me about the day Sam fell off the shed roof and and split his chin open, and I'm thinking, yeah, yeah, he's great, your son's a wonderful person, but I had a gay man inside me the night I first kissed him.
So how do you go about that? Has that always made that noise? What? That, that thing there.
- What, the clock? - Yeah, the clock.
The fucking clock.
Is it ticking? Are you alright, Karen? What? Oh, yeah, yeah, fine.
What you doing tonight? - I'm going out with Sam.
- Right.
To a pub, is it? - I won't ask to come in.
- Why? Because I know you'll say no.
What? Oh, yeah.
Yeah, course.
Look, I'm gonna go before I lose control entirely.
That would be nice.
I'll see you Friday.
Hi.
What are you doing? Oh, well, I just thought er, you know Well, I I mean, I was passing, er, and II thought weller, well, basically I drank lots of your wine the other night, so er, II thought I'd bring you a new bottle.
You're not coming in, Richard.
No, no.
God, no, I wasn't So I'll see you at the restaurant, - or something-- - Yeah.
Yes, defdefinitely.
Look, Richard, let's just forget about what happened.
Okay.
- Itit's not you, it's just, you know-- - Yeah.
God, fine.
Fine, forgotten.
What happened? No.
Seriously, it's it's forgotten, so er, so I'll see you tomorrow then.
Yeah.
You did drink most of it.
What's wrong with Oleg? - He smells of meat.
- He works in a kitchen, Donna.
He works in a vegetarian kitchen, Louise.
I don't trust him.
I walked in on him when he was cleaning out the ladies toilets, he was smiling.
Well, that's just his manner.
He's a very caring person.
You should see him with the eggs.
Yeah, but he's the dish pig.
Well, I'm gonna have it off with him.
There's no way you're to be able to go through with it.
I will.
I'll just breathe through my mouth.
So where are you supposed to be going on this date then? Well, Oleg wants to go to Fuckbeetz, but I thought why hang around, so I'm just gonna bring him back here and get on with it.
What, youyou're going to bring Oleg here tonight? But I've got Sam coming round, I'm cooking him dinner.
Alright, well, we won't eat then, we'll just be in my room, and maybe the bathroom.
No, I don't want you to bring Oleg here.
I want to tell Sam about Richard tonight.
Tell you what, why don't I see if we can go to his house.
- What, really? - Yeah.
Well, would that help? Well, yeah, but if you don't mind.
Of course I don't mind.
Oh, thanks, Louise.
- I really appreciate that.
- No problem.
No, you're great.
No, you're great.
No, you're great.
No, you're great.
You're both shit! So James yawned, he was really sleepy.
I know, said his mummy, why don't you get ready for bed.
- So he put-- - Anna, can I have a word? I'm just finishing this story.
- Children, do you want a story or money? - Money.
- Anna, am I er, bad as a person? - What? Well, you know I've given up drinking, well, I was just sort of wondering, when I am drinking, am I really that bad? Well, at the last PTA you did try to get off with my husband.
Anna, how many times have I got to apologise for that? Once would be nice.
I'm sorry, Anna.
Look, just tell me, am I bad when I'm drinking? Karen, you're a catastrophe when you're drinking.
Right.
So II should keep this up then, carry on? I would.
Okay.
So what am I supposed to do? I mean, I'm finding it a bit hard to know what to actually do.
I mean, what do you do with yourself on a Friday night, say? Oh, I dunno, watch DVDs and stuff.
Watch DVDs? Yes.
Watch DVDs? Well, that's great.
I'll just watch DVDs.
Hello Oleg.
You look beautiful.

Getting a DVD, have you got a problem with that? - No, I was just-- - Is that alright, is it? - Yeah, that's fine.
- Got your information now? Karen, I'm just asking because Sam's coming round.
Yeah, that's it, Donna, I'll stay in my room.
I'll stay hidden away in my room all night, like some kind of mutant freak.
Why don't you just slide my dinner under the door? I'll tell you what, Donna, why don't I smear excrement all over the walls of my room.
- Would that make you happy? - Well.

I'll stay in my room all night while you eat dinner with your boyfriend.
Well, if that's okay.
