Mr Sitting in the Front.
Oh, I can feel the hair on my back
stand up as we cross the border.
-Your back?
-Yeah, I'm covered in hair.
You know that. Why are you
so relaxed? Is Cob not coming?
-Oh, my God, is that why I'm here?
-No, he was.
He's stuck in Paris
with his students.
I sort of hope he doesn't,
for his sake.
Have your family seen the photos?
-Poor Cob.
-Poor Cob.
My family don't mind a slag,
but you don't wanna be married
to one, do you know what I mean?
-God, I hate going home.
-Oh, Jesus Christ.
-Embrace yourself.

That is why I'm, like, totally sold

Come here. Come here.
Ooh, little fella!
Jeez, haven't you got him
one of them cochlear things yet?
-He doesn't want one.
-Well, he's seven.
How does he fucking know?
Have you not seen the videos?
They're heartbreaking.
It doesn't work like that for
everyone. He's not a good candidate.
No, no, no.
No, they even do it with dogs now.
And there's one hearing his owner for
the first time and his little tail.
Oh, it's marvellous, yeah.
Come in, sweetheart.
-Oh, you're looking lovely, Naomi.
-So do you!
-Ah!

-What's that? I can't hear.
-What did you say?
-I said, "Where are we changing?"
Nah, Suz, you sound like
you've got something in your mouth.
-(MUTTERS)
-(BOTH LAUGH)
Phil, don't do that when Cob's here.
Don't 'Phil' me in my own house.
Literally not your house.
Yeah, but you can't go upstairs,

-How many famous people you met?
Well, I work with famous people
every day, so literally all the time.
No, not you. Suz.
How many famous people you met?
-Name them.
-Oh, I've met loads.
I've met Louis Theroux, I've met
-Louis who? Who? Who?
-Louis Theroux. You know who that is?
-No.
-Oh, my God.
-Next. Who else?
-What? Well, I've met loads.
Like, what, do you want me
to just list famous people?
DANIELLE: Yes.
What's going on with
all this naked stuff?
-I mean, I'd feel terrible.
-Straight in.
I'd feel awful. I would feel so
awful. Did you sell it or something?
What?! No!
Nah, it's an awful angle for anyone.
-I'd have deleted it.
-I did delete it.
They store
recently deleted stuff too now.
Oh, I'm gonna be really rude.
Gonna be really rude right now.
Do you know when you go on top?
You know when you go on top, right?
You know what I'm talking about.
Right, when you lean
When you lean over,
you wanna get a mirror
and check what they are seeing.
I've got udders.
And I go to BODYPUMP twice a week,
do you know what I mean?
-Where's your boyfriend, Naomi?
-KAREN: Oh, no, no, no.
-NAOMI: Where's my boyfriend?
-Do you remember? She's not, um

She's into women.
Oh, mate, I would

Don't you wax them every day at work?
Yes. I get paid to do that.
I'm not nose-deep in it.
60-40. 60-40 men now, talking to you.
DANIELLE: One time, during a massage,
I was so hungover,
I vommed all over her lower back.
70-30.
That's my limit.
That area, it's a no-go, mate.
Strictly dickly, me.
Alright, Danielle, I wouldn't do you
either, so chill out.
-Oh, charming! (LAUGHS)
-KAREN: Shane!
Shane'sShane's cousin's here,
isn't she?
-Oh, yes!
-She plays netball for Kent.
She's gay!
Actually, Naomi's in the market for
a bit of spunk, if there's any going.
Didn't Cob want to have more kids
and then you didn't?
Oh, my God. That's not true, is it?
-Oh, Mum
-NAOMI: It is true.
Well, there's a solution.
You can have her old fella.
-Yeah, yeah, knock yourself out.
-I think even I might have a line.
-Fill your boots.
-(WOMAN LAUGHS)
-Mum's strictly dickly, right, Mum?
-KAREN: Oh, yeah!
DANIELLE: Cheers to that.
To the strictly dickly crew.
Alright?
-Alright?
-Alright?
Oh, babe!
Alright, Grinny?
This is mad, isn't it?
Look at you. Look at you.
So crazy, 'cause you're eight still,
aren't you?
-How are you? What the fuck?
-Don't. How am I?
How are you?
You've got a lot of make-up on.
No, this is normal.
Right. I've brought
the magic showbiz box.
So, have you got any words of wisdom
for your sister?
You've done it enough times.
Well, it's a sign
I'm not very good at it, Grin.
(WHISPERS) Can't say that.
I'll bet this dress
makes you want to be sick.
No.
Your father's doing
me bloody head in.
It's good.
It's looking quite creased on there.
Oh, you look like a model.
Look at you.
She's gorgeous, isn't she? (CHUCKLES)
This is actually really good.
-KAREN: Give us a fag.
-Oh, blimey, what are you doing?
Mum, what are you doing?
You're sat on the dress.
-Bloody hell. Keep your hair on.
-You're just going to crease it all!
You're just smoking next to it.
It'll go up.
-It's creased anyway. Jesus.
-GRINNY: What are you like?
-Hey, Ferd.
-Alright.
Alright, Shane? Budge up.

-JON: He ain't fit. Look. Look.
GRINNY: Karen says
you've done a porno.
No, I didn't. I-I didn't.
Who's the bloke in it?
I bet you shat yourself.
-No, it doesn't matter.
-GRINNY: It's all them Kardashians.
KAREN: Just worried about you.
A married woman doesn't need
to do all that stuff.
Look, honestly, when I think about
what's on my phone
-(KNOCK ON DOOR)
-DANIELLE: Suz! Your husband's here!
OK, off.
COB: Bonjour! I hear a television.
It must be a wedding day.
COMMENTATOR: I wonder what
Marco Silva would do about this
with Liverpool
pegging his team back
Oh, here he is. Sound of the devil.
OK. Shane, congrats.
I see you're enjoying your last
free moments there. Quite right.
Take a pew. Liverpool scored.
Utterly convinced, aren't you,
if you keep telling me things,
eventually I'm gonna care.
Hello, Phil.
Not even a joke about my wife
in those photos?
No? I thought that'd be
right up your street.
-Feel free to shout, "Cuckold."
-That's my daughter.
Well, indeed. Yes, it is. Yeah.
Not gonna allude to me
being unable to satisfy her?
I expected a bit more badinage, mate.
-What's a cuckold again?
-(LAUGHS) You'll find out.
-(MEN CHUCKLE)
-Porn thing.
-When a black guy does it.
-OK.
FERD: Fucking
Shane, will you move?!
Well, I'm gonna let Naomi
deal with thatthat bombshell.
I can see it's sending her into
an intersectional feminist frenzy.
COB: Good stuff.
COMMENTATOR: ..in no-man's land.
It's Firmino!
(MEN CHEER)
Excuse me, ladies.
Excuse me. Don't mind me.
KAREN: Oh!
-COB: Hiya.
-KAREN: Hiya, Cob.
Hey, love. Sorry about the Eurostar.
Sounds like a nightmare.
Naughty, aren't you,
coming into the secret chamber?
-I know.
-Hello, B-law.
Vision.
Do you know,
I always forget how tall you are.
-How tall is he?
-He must be 6'2" if he's a day.
-He's 6'.
-(LISPS) 6'2" in my heels.
GRINNY: I wouldn't let him out of
your sight if I were you, Suzie.
Sorry, they said this was
the best place to get changed.
I think Shane's using the loo. Ooh!
It's good luck! They say, "The looser
the bowels, the truer the vows."
Do you want us to Should we leave
while you get changed?
No, no, no, Mum. This is
the bride's getting-ready space.
COB: It's fine. It's just a
It's a late hen party for you all,
isn't it?
(WOMEN LAUGH)
-Suz, you went up for a musical?
-Yeah.
Yeah, I just thought, you know,
maybe less getting murdered and raped
and zombied all the time, you know.
Maybe just a bit more tap dancing.
-Oh, are you gonna do a musical?
-Yeah, I mean, it's just an audition.
But it's actually
It's a new musical.
It's pretty vibe-y. It's called
'A Party for Monica Lewinsky'.
Right. And who would you be playing?
I've always wanted to be in a chorus
line. It's, like, my absolute dream.
Why, even in, like,
your wildest fantasies,
are you just
a faceless chorus member?
I mean, it'sit's your dream, Mum.
You could literally star.
Sorry, you're gonna get away from
everything that happened recently
by playing Monica Lewinsky?
Can you even sing?
Yeah, I was a professional pop star.
COB: Mm-hmm. Yeah.
OK. Um
Have you got a bag for these?
Don't want to ruin the line.
Yeah, I'll put it my bag.
Merci beaucoup.
I'm just gonna check
if Shane's out of the toilet.
-KAREN: Have you been training?
-You're goddamn right, I have been.
-Have some of this.
-GRINNY: Nice hairy chest.

Apparently, Dad, yeah, I am.
All I know is your sister is never
gonna be able to buy a house,

You pissed away all of your money
Because of the collapse of
the industry I worked in.
What, the fuckin' managing
local bands? That industry?
Yeah, do you think the internet
doesn't affect live music?
I literally paid off your mortgage.
Yeah, and moved it into

COB: You guys will probably
sleep together tonight.
Your husband's an arsehole.
Why is it OK for you
to say that to me?
If I said that to you,
you'd all explode.
'Cause it's factually accurate.
I was just saying
I find weddings depressing.
No, you were saying
they WERE depressing.
-You were claiming it as a fact.
-Because it's a fact to me.
No, it's about the amount of hope.
That's the exact opposite
of depressing, surely.
You have this woman handed from
one man to another man
Oh, my You don't mean that.
You don't even think that.
You're just quoting from some idea
which is just as received and false
as you say marriage is,
just to impress
-OK, that's fine.
-No, no, no.
No, 'cause I could easily play
devil's advocate
with the whole who owns what thing.
Ooh, devil's is
my favourite kind of advocacy.
-Oh, guys, come on.
-Oh, good, OK.
Well, no, man-bash. Sure.
That's genius. But just
OK, say, for example, say men
wanna be with a woman, right?
Wanna be in a relationship
with a woman.
So women say, "Why should I be?
What are you offering me?"
Well, what are you offering her?
So men go out and they kill animals
and they build huts
and they build civilisations,
they make an empire.
"What about protecting me?
What if you're not around?"
"OK, yeah, good point."
So he goes out and he makes
the police force and the army
and he persuades men to die
and go to war.
She says, "But what about
nice things? I want nice things."
"Alright, yeah. OK, fair enough."
So he makes the economy
and he builds skyscrapers
Yeah, big fucking dicks
in the sky, man.
She says, "Why have you got all that
stuff? I want some of that stuff.
"Why do I have to sit in this
massive house you built me all day?"
So, men go, "OK, yeah. No, fair
enough. I can appreciate that.
"Why don't you come in?
Why don't you be part of this thing?"
"I want half of it."
"Yeah, OK, fine.
"No, I understand that. Here you go.
"Why don't you come in and be half of
this thing? I think you're great."
"Ugh! Stop harassing me!
Get the fuck out.
"This is all mine now. Get out."
"That's not really on, is it?
"I built all this
just to impress you."
"I don't care. Get out.
This is all mine now."
Why the fuck
should women be with men
if they can't offer them anything?
-What is the point?
-That's exactly what I'm saying!
You're agreeing. You're agreeing.
Basically, men built the world
so women would fuck them
and then women are like,
"Give me this world you've built.
"Oh, and also,
we don't wanna fuck you anymore."
-(LAUGHS)
-Would be the argument.
OK.
-Are you married?
-That's my wife.
-Yeah, we are. Yeah.
-I'm just trying to liven things up.
It is actually quite depressing.

-Let's dance.
Let's do it.
You're welcome. I'm going for a piss.
