Tolled Road

1 Fall to the bottom, you realise who your true friends are.
Return to Jesus and you can return here.
How you going to throw my stuff?! Yeah, I don't need it.
I've got all I need.
You've kicked me out of my house, I don't like you any more.
It's all right.
I'm just going across the square.
I'll just pop back if I need anything, innit.
I love you.
I love it here.
Love you too.
But, 4am though.
Yeah.
# Life ain't so great, yeah, they'll be dancing the moan # And life ain't Hollywood for any one of us # If ever you're in doubt # Just get your wings out # Go on, darling, get your rhythm on Somewhere else.
Friends ain't your friends cos they think you're a dealer of cocaine.
Pleasure doing business with you.
Or they want a three-way cos you're Lupita, Queen of the Darkies, getting loved up by some white chocolate god.
Not so pure now, am I? And he ain't a white chocolate god.
He's more a white chocolate, unemployed child.
Yeah, he is the Milky Bar Kid.
My friends chose me because I'm amazing.
Oh, your family don't choose ya.
Oh, no.
My sister is marrying my gay ex-boyfriend.
I did say we were going to be more than friends.
Talk to her? I tried.
He's gay.
He's gay.
He's gay.
Mummy, can you close the blinds please? Thank you.
Cynthia? He's gay.
He's gay.
Not even a hen night invitation.
PARTY HOOTER But who wants to go a kiddie restaurant with Cynthia anyway? Me.
Cos I got a thing or two planned, ya get me? So here I am - BO in this armpit, a bloody period in my knickers, and a best friend who loves having me here.
Yeah, Tracey, when you moving in with me? I told ya, I have to live with mixed-race people first before I make the full transition.
I've never lived with white people before.
Right I've never heard nothing like that.
It's a black thing.
Yo, are you the guy? For the job? Erm, what? I'm supposed to be talking to someone.
Oh, Connor Jones.
Jethro, store manager.
Yeah.
I thought you'd be older.
It says on your CV you were previously a pilot? My mum done it.
She going to throw me out if I don't get a job.
I reckon she made up some shit.
Ah.
Look, it's simple and it's foolproof.
I follow through this, I will prove to Cynthia that Ronald is gay.
So this is what? Some private investigator shit? Cynthia finds out he's gay - some people can't handle the truth you know.
I'm going shops, babe, want anything? Get tampons.
I use pads actually, tampons are for whores.
Thank you, Aaron.
Cynthia needs to know Ronald's gay, so we get Ronald to say he's gay, and - this is crucial - we record it.
The recording is sent to me when I'm at the hen night You're not invited.
Yeah, I know.
Do you have a fuck I can borrow? Cos I've ran out of fucks to give.
I'll speakerphone that shit to her live and direct, Ronald saying something like "Mmm, I love balls," or "Ugh, the vagina.
" It'll be glorious, she'll have no choice but to believe.
Who's going to record it? Yeah, erm Someone who might be called Aaron.
What? Yeah, I need to borrow your boyfriend.
No! No, no, no.
He's my friend as well.
Ain't you my friend, Aaron? Aaron, please.
Please, please.
Look, all you've got to do is look nice, go there, sweeten him up, he will take the bait, classic honey trap.
Tracey, how you going to pimp out my man? Aaron, don't Candice, just be quiet and lemme think, man.
.
I'm honoured to help save a woman from 50 years of a marriage of deceit and confusion.
But what da rass? Thank you, homie.
I'm happy to help, yeah? Eckhart Tolle says that No, no, no, don't go quoting dead people's abstract shit, just do what I told you to do, yeah? Oh, and if you're going shop, floss and red top milk, not green, OK? At least tidy.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I will wear these, thank you.
All right, see ya.
So what do you think is the most important thing about customer service? Being friendly, innit.
What is "friendly"? Someone's open and accepts you.
Challenges you and that? Like my girl.
She does those things.
Yeah, but in terms of customer serv Hold on, bruvva, let me finish.
You can't have too many friends.
If you've got just one diamond You fu You treasure that thing, yeah, for everything it's worth.
You know some big words.
I know 'em but I don't use really 'em.
Cos the brain might enjoy breakin' 'em down and that, but the heart, the heart ain't concerned.
The heart just wants to know it's safe.
Its door is narrow, innit.
So a tiny little word don't need to fight its way in.
One sec.
So wh Ahem, when can you start? Are you serious? Yeah.
Fuck! MUSIC: Woohoo by Eli Paperboy Reed # I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't find my friends # But I don't need, don't need, don't need, don't need them to dance # I go Woo-woohoo! Let me hear you go Woo-woohoo! ROWDY GUYS: DRINK, DRINK, DRINK, DRINK! I love my hen party! Mum said commercial food chains were satanic.
Fast food became Cynthia's forbidden fruit.
And then so this, like, chicken nugget hen night shit does actually make some sense.
Hi.
You lot are mental! That was brutal.
Brutal! Can I get another round of Tangos, please? Thanks.
I'll get these.
Stag night, yeah? Congratulations on the life sentence.
Ha, thanks.
She ashe a no-show? He, yeah.
Why don't you go home instead of drinking yourself to paralysis? Firstly, I'm teetotal, but that's beside the point.
I'm here cos life is a dancer, and I'm the dance, I guess.
Eckhart Tolle.
You know about Tolle? Yeah, that's from the second one.
Erm A New BOTH: .
.
Earth, yeah.
Come on, Ron! We're playing games later, if ya I might, yeah.
# I'll be what you want me to be You can take me, take me, take me anywhere.
Are you still with the Lord? I heard you backslid and fell into pregnancy? And then into prostitution.
Are you aware that you have a demonic spirit? Are you aware that on Thursdays your mum sucks my dick? Magdalene, who are you talking to? You know how you can like block out negative people from Twitter? Cynthia can do exactly that with her brain.
It's like self-hypnosis, Derren Brown stuff.
Nah, it's true.
How about that? Yeah, well.
If I throw this in your face you're going to, what? Look right through me with chips in your eye? Huh? It's such a shame Tracey couldn't come.
ALL: Mmm.
I can be there for her, but her trying to end my marriage before it's even begun - that kind of jealousy is best kept at a distance.
Prostitutes are generally best kept at a distance.
Mmm.
Mmm.
Ronald is NOT gay.
MACHO GRUNTING GETTING QUITE SEXUAL NOW RONALD PANTS Oh, man.
Oi, don't be a sore loser - control that pain-body.
You're right.
But One more round! I think you better save all that energy for the honeymoon, Ron.
Ha, good one, Peter.
Come on, lads.
How about you and me grab another somewhere else? Nah, you're all right.
Hope you find some mates.
Oh, Peter, I think I've left my mobile in your car again.
# Right foot and your left hand # Left foot and you left hand # Right foot, stop! # All right # And now your right foot and your right hand # Right foot and your right hand # Right foot and your right hand Seriously, that prat? # Let me hear you go Woo-woohoo! # Let me hear you go Woo-woohoo! # Let me hear you go Woo-woohoo!

Someone's phone.
What is it going to take for you to hear me! CHILD GIGGLES Oh, is it? Eat your fucking nuggets.
I'm sorry, I'm on my period.
I bought him drinks.
I let him beat me in blackjack.
I made him laugh.
Right.
But you know when you actually get on? I was charming, so charming! Why did it not work? It did work, you got the Vine.
No, but how could he go for the other guy? I don't get it.
I need to think.
SNORING LOUD SNORING Jesus! What did you guys get up to last night, Candice?! Oh.
I told you, I wanted pads.
SHE EXHALES Er, it's not going in.
Lie on your back and pretend it's your man's dick, Trace.
Just spit on it, and shove it in like a dick.
SHE GASPS No! No! It's not going in! Like it's your man, Trace.
SHE MOANS Uhh, Jay Z, stop it! SHE GIGGLES Oh, Jay Z, oh! SHE GROANS That's it, Jay Z, ah! Uh SHE LAUGHS It's in! Thanks for that.
You can change the sheets now.
Candice, doesn'tumthe help do that? Who's the help? (Esther.
) Babe, promise me you won't still be upset at the ceremony.
I'm not upset, I'm just confused.
I look my best and I get blown off.
It's affecting, man.
Or maybe there's something you're not telling me.
I'm not gay.
Rejection doesn't have a gender, it's just rejection, innit? Look, all I want to know is the truth, I don't care what it is.
If you're gay, I'm willing to make space for that, you get me? It's just a bit loud, can you? You know Esther, the battery is dead on this again.
Have you hand washed my knickers yet? Oh, no.
She can't put them in the washing machine because they get bobbles.
Cand? Tracey, I love you.
We love you.
But you're driving everyone crazy, man! You can't stay here.
Can you at least borrow me a pair of knickers that are not from Primark? You're not going to make Cynthia happy, because you know I know relationships are bumpy.
Like the rolls on Oompa-Loompa, here's, stomach.
Oh, my God.
He doesn't understand a word - Greek.
You know what? How about I tell you what I know, point by point? Point A You told me to stay away from you.
I stayed away.
So, you inviting yourself into my house on my wedding day is intriguing.

Point C You're obsessed with MY love life because you can't face the mess of your own! That That is You don't know anything about Oh That one pinch? You picked the first imbecile that blinked at you, because you're desperate, pitiful and lost.

Our cycles are synchronised.
