Damien?
Oh, hi.
What are you doing here?
I gave my keys to someone.
Hey, everyone.
This is Fola's friend, Damien.
If you're having a house party,
he will flock to it like
the Bat-Signal.
Hello. Hey. What do people
want to drink?
Bring me all the vodka. Yeah!
Yeah. I'll have vodka.
Or anything. Literally anything.
So you going to introduce us, or?
Erm Er. Yeah, this is Josh.
Joshua. The package guy?
Be cool, Damien.
What's going on here?
Aren't you adorable? Cheers.
OK ignore him. Let's go.
Have you got any gin?
Oh, Zack,
I am sorry to hear about your dad.
Oh. Thanks, man. I appreciate that.
Ouzo? Get this out the
house, Zachary.
Thanks for putting Fola up
after we
No, that was, that was my pleasure.
She told you, didn't she?
Uh, I mean in In broad strokes.
I think I think it's going to be
good, though. I think we'll be OK.
I'll have an old fashioned.
MUSIC: Don't Know Why She Love Me
But She Do
by Seasick Steve
What you doing?
I like the song.
I wanted to know what it was.
Er, well, you could've just asked.
Fine.
Er, no. Hey, no.
Beer pong time.
We don't even have any beer.
What about ouzo pong? Uh! Yeah.
# I don't know why she love me
like she do #
Hey!
No, you only have to drink one.
# She's my gold mine, she's my
diamond mine #
Argh!
# I don't know why
she love me like she do #
Yeah!
Yeah!
Joshua. You're not flagging,
are you?
Yeah, maybe just a little.
Can I get you a little
pick-me-up? Er
Espresso? Red Bull? Or some meth?
I'm joking about the meth.
But I do have some MDMA
if you like.
No, I'm fine.
Fair enough.
I don't think she wants me here
very much.
Oh, I wouldn't be so sure.
I don't know how much she's
told you.
Oh, hey, man, I don't know anything.
I'm an ignoramus.
All I'm saying is Fola's not really
been herself much recently.
But I think you've made
her happier.
I think we've made a mess.
Oh, you say that like messes
can't be a good thing.
I love making a mess.
That is not what I said.
Right, come on,
it's been a long day,
let's just have another drink
and then you can talk about this
at home, when I'm not here.
Georgia, can I just get a word in.
No. Can you fuck off, Nina?
Oh, my God.
Did you know you had
a roof terrace?
I'll, erm, I'll go after her.
So, you excited about
getting married?
Yeah, but on the sten Josh told me
he shagged someone else.
Esther
Right? Fucking dickhead.
Some bloody random from Lapland.
Mrs Santa, probably.
But I actually
I shagged someone else first,
so we're sort of evened out
in the end.
Er Yeah, I guess. Yeah.
But I told him about what I did
straight away.
It was just a stupid mistake
and I told him.
Yeah, that's good. That's good.
Yeah, but he didn't tell me.
Well at least he did,
but only after I worked it out.
He hid it from me for fucking ages.
Do you think I'm stupid
to forgive him so quickly?
I told him about mine
because it didn't mean anything.
Yeah
Yeah, I'm, I'm sure it didn't mean
anything to Josh either.
God, Nina, what are you doing here?
Buying cigarettes, all right?
Now I need you to take them off me
and put them in a bin
because I haven't smoked in months
and I really don't want
to start again,
but also I really, really want one.
Come on.
Hey, hey, hey.
What happened back there?
It just all came out, didn't it?
Esther was asking about
baby plans, and
..it's just that none
of our mates have them yet,
and I just want more time. With her.
Just her and me for
a few more years.
I'm sure she'll understand.
Oh, God, don't hug me.
I don't deserve to be hugged.
Of course you do. No, I've been
really, really bitey with you
these last few weeks and you're my
brother.
I need you to do that.
I mean, you're my little sister,
if you can't be my conscience,
who will?
Yeah, well, maybe I was wrong.
I don't know if I told you this
but Georgia was with someone when we
met.
Obviously nothing happened until
they broke up because, you know,
deep down, fundamentally, I am
a better person than you.
Oh, fuck off!
But the feelings were there
all the same.
And you are in love
with Fola, right?
You're going to cry, aren't you?
No.
I do love Esther.
I just don't want to hurt her.
But what if staying together
is the thing that's hurting her?
MUSIC: To See You Again
by Afterparty
I couldn't find you anywhere.
You know what, you absolutely
do not get to be pissed off
that I'm having sex with my husband,
who I'm married to.
I think I do, actually.
Why's that?
Because I'm in love with you, Fola.
I'm in love with you.
And I think you might be
in love with me too.
Fuck off.
I tried. I can't.
We've known each other
for barely a month, Josh.
We spent most
of that time not seeing each other.
We've had sex twice.
These are all good points.
You stop this. You stop this,
so that you can get married
to Esther.
Who's fucking brilliant,
by the way. I know.
She is great,
and she deserves better.
Oh, what, and I don't?
Of course you do.
But I think you make me better.
And I think maybe
..I make you better.
I don't need to be better.
No, you don't.
But still, tell me, Fola.
If you don't love me,
tell me that,
and I will never bother you again.
Zack's dad's just died.
You really need to work
on your timing.
Damien?
