Series 2, Episode 1
l'm pregnant.
- Why didn't she tell you? - Good question.
Do you think Kris is the father? Me? A dad? Possibly.
Possibly not.
She sleeps with a guy she's divorcing and is having his baby.
Unless it's yours.
- Where has she gone? - ErLondon.
She's catching the 7:30 train.
ls it his? Oh, l don't know.
That's the whole point, isn't it? Every day that l'm pregnant, you'll be wondering and dreading the moment of truth.
Well l can't go through that, Adam.
For the baby's sake.
(Guard blows whistle) FATBO Y SLlM: Right Here, Right Now What are you thinking about? What? What? Well, you just smiled.
l'm allowed to smile, aren't l? She's exhausted.
Well, she's had a long journey.
From the hospital? From the womb.
Hello, chicken.
Come on.
- Hi.
- Hello.
- Are you OK? - Yeah.
l'm a bit tired.
l'm looking forward to a nice long soak, phone off the hook, nobody to disturb us.
Wahey! Welcome home! - Oh! - Oh, look.
You wanna make the most of that, mate.
There.
lt's all right.
Hello, Sarah.
ADAM: Sarah.
Sarah Amy.
Hello, Amy.
Amy, yeah.
l like Amy, you know.
Both names suit either babies or adults, but AmyAmy works for both.
Yeah, well, the fact that this kid might be Kris's Oh, God, it's just not registering, is it? Kris with a K, Kris with a K, Kris with a K.
You know, l've been thinking about that.
Kris with a K, that bollocks only shagged her once, whereas around the same time l must have slept with her loads of times.
Clearly, l'm much more likely to be the father.
l don't think it works like that.
Jen, will you indulge me, please? She's mine.
And she's a girl and she's called Amy, who will grow up to be a world-famous doctor.
And she'll travel around lecturing in the latest medical breakthroughs.
Well done, doctor.
Magnificent.
At last, a cure for cancer.
Vielen Dank.
Entschuldigung Sie, bitte.
And she'll still have time to phone her daddy.
Dad, it went really well.
Oh, my God.
Spend a lot of time fantasising, do you? Yeah.
Sure, everyone does it.
Don't you? Jenny.
- What? - Let's get married.
OK.
ADAM: No, of course not.
You're happily married.
Well, l'm married, yeah.
Oh, come on, Jen.
Pete and you are blissfully happy.
How do you know? Pete told me.
PETE: And do you know why we're happy? Has this got anything to do with drugs? No, it's because we're good for each other.
l mean, JenJen is a very restless woman.
l mean, other blokes would drive her mad, they'd stifle her, but not me, no.
l just sit back and let her be herself.
The couch potato as hero.
You know we're having the hall redecorated.
lt doesn't need it, you know, but she insisted.
She said it was drab.
- Things needed a change.
l could have argued.
- You'd have lost.
You see, my attitude towards it is this.
What Jennifer wants, Jennifer gets.
l'm easy.
She's happy.
- l'm going.
- Where? Home.
Rachel might have rung.
- You're becoming obsessive.
- l know.
Can l be practical? - Oh, God.
- Yeah.
Right, what are the facts? Rachel hasn't been in touch for - what? - six monthswith any of us.
Listen, she's moved on, right.
And l reckon it's time you did, an' all.
l don't know how to.
Start dating.
Eh? l'll set you up with someone.
Oh, Jesus! Not your sister.
Ugh! l know other single women, Adam.
No, l don't, actually.
l'll ask Pete.
Pete? Terrific.
- Look, l'm not pimping for Adam.
- lt's hardly pimping.
Yeah, but he's bound to want a shag out of it.
Oh, come on.
What about your friends? They're all married.
- Poor sods.
- Hey! So, you know, let 'em have an affair.
Come on.
There must be someone you know who's up for it.
Hey, hang on, hang on.
- There's this new girl started at work.
- Oh, yeah? What's she like? Well, she's all right, you know.
She's attractive, intelligent, bubbly.
Great! Sounds perfect.
What's her name? Rachel.
(Splash) - Anything of interest? - l doubt it, David.
They're all for you.
l was hoping Rachel might have written.
You just want to know who the father is.
Course l do.
She must be due about now.
ls OK l go to a film this evening? Absolutely fine.
l'll be back late, but David can put Josh to bed, can't you? No.
Not tonight.
Sorry.
What are you doing tonight? Nothing.
l have a job.
l'm not doing Ramona's as well.
That's nice of Daddy, isn't it, darling? Hm? l don't want to! l know.
l agree.
Morning, Julie.
Get me the Frankfurt office, please.
Helmut Schrager.
Lunch time today, table for two.
Make sure it's Del Amici's this time.
Thanks.
Natalie's office called.
She wants to see you.
Fine.
Get me the Frankfurt office, please.
She says it's urgent.
So's the call to Frankfurt.
(Phone rings) Marsden.
Natalie! Good morning Yeah.
l'm just on my way to see you.
ADAM: l'm not sure about this.
(Phone rings) - l'm a bit old for blind dates.
Blind date? lt's hardly a blind date.
There's gonna be six of us.
Safety in numbers.
And if you don't fancy Amy, you can get off with Robin's wife.
- Amy? - Yeah.
That's what l thought me and Rachel might call our daughter.
Well, it's probably best you don't talk about that, mate.
Right.
We don't need all them, love.
Why? ls she not coming? Oh, great.
Dumped before l've even met her.
Rob and Sophie aren't.
Sophie's gone into labour.
So there's just going to be four of us? - lt will be obvious you're setting us up.
(Doorbell rings) - Phone her.
Tell her it's off.
- l think it's a bit late for that.
You'll be all right.
lt'll be fine.
Don't mention Rachel, OK? Rachel? Rachel? Clever.
Right.
Drink? Slash.
Oi! Hey, Adam.
This is Amy.
That's a beautiful name.
- Thank you.
- lt's Amy's birthday today.
Really? lt's my daughter's birthday.
- Really? - Well, due date.
To be honest, l don't know if she's been born.
Or if she's a girl.
Or if she's mine.
Let's see about that drink.
Come on.
(Front door opens) David, where the hell have you been? Your mobile's switched off.
Disconnected.
Have you been drinking? Since mid-morning.
You've closed the Westcott deal, haven't you? l knew you would.
l'd quite forgotten about that.
Funny.
Well, what were you celebrating, then? Well, this morning l was given this cheque.
Oh, my God! They must be really pleased with you.
David, this is a huge bonus.
Mm.
No, Karen.
lt's not a bonus.
lt's my redundancy money.
Yeah, she cheated on me with her ex-husband.
Just the once, but, well, pretty soon after she got pregnant, and we don't know who by.
Mind you, he's black.
So, the minute the baby's born, it will be pretty obvious who the father was.
Anyway, l offered to stand by her.
But she felt she'd screwed everything up, and soshe left.
And that's that story.
Yeah.
Good one.
- Great.
Any more for anyone? - Oh, no.
lt was lovely.
She's moved to London to live with her sister.
l've written to her every day since.
And she hasn't replied? Oh, no.
l never sent the letters.
They're all just piling up at home.
Yeah, think of the money you've saved on postage.
You can read them if you like.
(Mouths) (Sighs) Wine! - Yes, please.
- Yeah.
Oh, sorry.
Come here.
Are you out of your mind? What? You don't pull birds by offering to let them read love letters to your ex.
No, no, no, they're not all love letters.
Some of them are quite bitter, actually.
Right.
- Sorry about Adam.
- Oh, so am l.
That poor bloke.
He's lovely, isn't he? (Giggles) l never saw it coming! Yet the signs were obvious.
As soon as l entered her office, Karen, she closed the door behind me.
l mean, l've done it a thousand times to people l'm about to lay off.
Coffee? ldiot that l am, l thought she just wanted privacy.
About the merger, David.
For merger read takeover.
l've just been sent the list of who's to be made redundant.
You're not serious? l'm afraid l am.
l don't know what to say.
You're going to be sorely missed.
l mean, how stupid can you get? Clearly, she wasn't about to say that she'd been been laid off.
l mean, when people in her position get fired, they're not encouraged to hang around.
Security marches them off the premises before they can steal any documents.
Anywaythat's when she told me.
Then what happened? Funeral March We call it the Dead Man's Walk.
So humiliating! Everybody knew what was going on.
Well, everybody apart from my moronic secretary.
Oh, David, l booked Del Amici's for one o'clock.
Now, take your time.
Would you like me to get Herr Schrager for you now? At least you'll beat the rush hour.
l'm so sorry, David.
And l suppose she didn't think to cancel Del Amici's, so my name will be mud there as well.
Well, thanks for dinner.
- Thanks for coming.
- Yeah, cheers.
And nice meeting you, Adam.
- Oh, actually, l erml should be on my way, too.
- What? - You don't have to go yet, do you? - Yeah.
Yeah, he does.
lt's getting late.
We've got a hell of an early start in the morning.
What? Are you mad? - lt's Saturday tomorrow.
- Yeah, it is.
Yeah.
And er Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- We've erm We've got to go shopping.
- Shopping.
Yeah.
- Hm.
Yeah.
- All right.
OK.
Bye.
- Bye! - Bye! BOTH: Oo-ooh! Oi, get off.
Stop it! Dog.
So, do you fancy a drink, then? Yeah.
Are there any pubs round here? No, but l know a good park bench.
Ah, they won't miss it.
(Sobs) Oh, David.
(Doorbell rings) - Oh, God.
Who's that? RAMONA: l'll get him! l bet it's that wretched boyfriend of hers.
He can't stay the night.
Well, whoever it is, l'll get rid of them.
Escusita, Karen.
No, he can't stay the night! l haven't caught you at a bad time, have l? Hi, Rach.
Long time, no see.
Absolutely.
David, l'm so sorry.
Excuse me.
You told her! What did l say to you five minutes ago? - To keep it quiet until you find another job.
- Then the neighbours need never know.
Rachel's not a neighbour.
Anyway, don't you think they'll suspect when they see you at home all day? Unless you're planning to put on a suit and go to work every morning.
Darling, you weren't? There's no shame in losing a job.
Most people would love the chance to have more time at home.
Why? You can spend more time with Josh.
Don't you think l don't have things to do? l'm not a nanny.
l haven't sunk that low yet.
- Escusita - No, he cannot stay the night! God.
Sit down, Rach.
- You look really well.
- Thanks.
Rach, l've been dying to know.
How was the birth? What did it weigh? ls it a boy or a girl? Does it look like its father? Tell me, Jen.
How well do you know Amy? Erwell, not as well as youmaybe.
OhmyGod.
Right, erm Works with Pete, recently dumped by her boyfriend, don't know why.
That's it.
He probably wanted some rest.
- Urgh! - Yeah.
You know what you need? What? A good seeing-to.
That will get you over your girlfriend.
Now, what was her name? l can't remember.
(Both giggle) She didn't really look the type, did she? l know.
God, l know.
So, what happened? Same again.
Oh, yeah, all right.
Go on.
No, no, no, l meansame again.
And again.
And then we went home together.
Oh, my God.
No wonder you're knackered.
l know.
God, nothing in six months and then five times in one night.
Oh, yeah.
Even then, l was begging her to let me go to sleep.
So, are you going to see her again? Are you wise? l want to live past 40.
No, come the morning, l thought l'd scarper, but l couldn't.
Why? Because we were staying in my place.
Anyway, l decided there and then, that's it, l'm not going to see her again.
Well, maybe give her a rematch in about six months.
But thenthings kind of changed.
Next morning, l'm in the kitchen, praying for death.
l'm about to put the pan on, and the doorbell goes.
(Doorbell rings) Karen, erhi.
Hi, Adam.
So, how did he look? Come on.
First impressions.
How did he look? Not good.
Whisky on his breath.
KAREN: ls this a bad time? No, no, no, no.
Come in.
Come in.
Unsteady on his feet.
Sorry.
And what looked like grass stains on his boxers.
God.
He looked like someone who's given up, Rachel.
You think that it's my fault? No, l think people choose to become winos.
- Hello! - Hi, Noriko.
How are you? You know.
Got my hands full.
- l'll leave you to it.
- OK.
Do you want to play with Josh? Yeah? OK.
Let's go.
- You didn't tell him that l sent you, did you? - No.
You didn't want me to mention you unless he did.
Did he? Are you all right, Adam? Me? God, yeah, l'm fine.
Great.
ln factl've never been better.
Liar.
l was hardly going to say, ''l'm a bit depressed.
'' You know, l like Karen, but l haven't seen her for ages, and suddenly she turns up to tell me - The baby's yours.
- Or his.
Kris with a K, that bollocks.
Either way, she could tell me.
l wasn't going to ask.
l don't know.
l justdecided to sit there and play it cool.
(Coughs) Adam doesn't smoke.
l know.
They were Amy's, but l was bricking it.
So, you don't mind being on your own, then? l'm not on my own.
l'm erseeing someone.
You've got a girlfriend? AMY: Adam? Are you coming back to bed? Sorry.
l didn't know you had company.
Amy, this is Karen.
- Hi.
- Karen, Amy.
Your new girlfriend? He's got a girlfriend? So, you intended to knock it on the head, and now you're very much an item.
And he didn't mention me at all? l'm sorry, Rachel.
(Child cries) Oh, my God.
Noriko, what's happened? What have you done? Oh, he slipped.
l was watching him.
l think that's quite deep.
l think you should get him to Casualty.
See if he needs a stitch.
We'll look after Machiko.
You look after Akira.
Give me a ring on my mobile when you're ready.
lt's all right, darling.
Hey, you.
Hey, hey.
Hey! Hey! - See you later.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
Say bye-bye.
Bye! Get something nice.
Choose something nice.
OK.
What are we gonna get? Let's see.
Do you fancy .
.
apple and banana, or apricot custard? No.
How about Ah! Chocolate pudding? (Gurgles) Yes.
Like mother, like son, eh? Come on.
Let's see.
Hello, you! Hello, you! Hiya.
You took your time.
Oh, ho ho! Please, take him, take him.
Please? - Thank you.
- Hello.
You will not believe Where's the rest of the shopping? - lt's all l could get.
- Are we suddenly living in the Soviet Union? Da.
Yeah.
Ah, Adam! lt's Pete.
Please, you've got to get yourself here pronto.
Jesus! Where the hell were you? ln your bathroom.
lt's not easy answering the phone with your hands full.
You might want to put that toilet mat in the wash.
- Hm - Erm Adam, l've just seen Rachel.
Rachel? Where? ln the supermarket with Karen.
And er she had a baby with her.
What did it look like? (Exhales) A boy No.
Am l its father? - lt's not that clear cut.
- What? Look, this might sound odd, but to me it looked Chinese.
Chinese? How can our baby be Chinese? They say every fourth child born in the world is Chinese.
lt might be jaundice.
Very common.
Yeah.
You know, not so much its features, more its colour.
But, man, there's proof.
Lookphotos.
Supermarket trolley, ermy foot, the floor.
There.
Baby! Erit's a baby.
Chinese is not an option, Pete! Think very carefully.
The father of that child is either black or white.
Which is it? White.
White! (Baby starts crying) - White.
White.
White.
(Josh imitates a jet engine) lt's morning! lt's morning! lt's morning! Oh, for God's sake! (Wails) Ramona! RACHEL: Adam! Amy! Come on in now.
Your lunch is ready! Down you go.
Well done.
Oh! You're heavy.
What are you smiling about? Argh! l forgot you were there.
Mm.
l think l can guess.
l know what makes men smile.
Er, no, Amy.
Amy, wait.
Erm, listen.
Er You know l told you about my ex-girlfriend, the one who's pregnant? You're not still hung up on her, are you? Well, you know my cure for that.
No.
No, God, Amy, no.
Back, back, back.
(Amy giggles) - Look, the thing is Erm l found out l am the father.
Pete saw Rachel in town, and the baby's white.
Congratulations.
Thanks.
So, anyway Do you want to go and see that movie tonight cos l've got to go to Dublin tomorrow and l think it finishes this week? Er, Amy, hello? Did you not hear me? Yeah.
Well, don't you think this changes things? No, not really.
Loads of fathers have lost touch with their kids.
l haven't lost touch! l haven't been in touch, but l'm going to see Rachel tonight, andl'm sorry, but, you know, there's a good chance we might get back together.
Two problems with that.
First, you're going out with me.
Second, what makes you think Rachel wants to see you? Eh? Well, she knows your address.
Why hasn't she been in touch? PETE: Well, it's a good question.
l'll give her that.
l know.
lt was bugging me all morning, till l l came up with the answer.
Look, Pete, why would Rachel not want me to know the baby's mine? Because it's ugly.
No, Stanley! Because she doesn't want me back in her life.
She's met someone else.
No.
That's terrible.
l'm sorry, mate.
Oh, God, that's not the worst of it.
She's been looking forward to seeing you.
Talked about nothing else all week, have you, Amy? Daddy? MAN: Yes, darling? Can l get down now? Sure.
Yes, sure.
lt doesn't bear thinking about.
Are you going to see Rachel tonight? No, l can't.
l've got to go to the cinema.
Besides, before l make a move, l want to know what l'm up against.
You know, who is this bollocks? Name, job, salary.
You know, when did he meet Rachel? Have they just started going out? Have they had sex? Are they living together? What does she see in him? lt's a long list of questions.
Yeah, no, actuallyyou may want to write them down in case Jenny forgets.
Carl, have you got a pen? Yeah.
Yeah, l understand, Clive.
Difficult time.
Yeah.
Well, l Yeah.
Well, l just thought if youhear of anything, yeah Yeah.
OK.
Bye.
(Josh imitates a train) Let's play trains.
Not now, Josh.
(Josh sobs) RAMONA: Excuse me, David.
l don't think this is right.
OK? l couldn't agree with you more.
l mean, you slave your guts out, doing everything your employer demands of you, and they think their only responsibility to you is to pay you well.
Yeah.
Not always very well, eh? There were paid holidays, six weeks a year No, four.
But when push comes to shove, they've got no sense of loyalty.
You're not a real person to them.
Most of the time, they don't know you're there.
You know, you are so right.
That is how l have been feeling.
Ramona, shouldn't you be looking after Josh? How's Pete? All right.
Rachel? You know she's back, then? Pete saw her.
Yeah.
She hasn't been in touch with Adam, though.
No, well, he doesn't seem that interested in seeing her, so What on earth makes you say that? l went round there myself, Jenny.
He didn't ask after Rachel once.
Or the baby for that matter.
Too busy flashing round his new girlfriend.
What - the nymphomaniac? lt's not his girlfriend.
Well, she thinks she is, but he's not into her.
- No way! - Are you serious? He'd dump her if he thought he'd get back with Rachel.
- Would he? - Yeah.
Listen, l'm meant to be subtle about this, but sod that.
Right.
What have we got? (Reads) What's his name? What does he earn? How big's his willy? (Laughs) Whose? This new bloke of Rachel's.
What new bloke? - ''What new bloke?'' - There is no bloke.
- There is no bloke! - There is no bloke.
Never has been.
Rachel just thought you didn't want to see her.
- Or your baby.
- What about the baby? Oh, my God, l knew l'd forgotten something.
What about the baby? What is it? A boy or a girl? Girl or boy? Boy or girl? Girl or boy? Girl-boy? l can't answer that, Jenny.
Well, you canreally, cos you just look and if it's got a little willy, then it's probably a boy.
No.
Don't you think Adam better hear that from Rachel? l tell you what, l'll ask Rachel if she'll call round tonight.
Tonight? Tonight? She could be standing on the doorstep right now! Wait.
That's no good.
He'll have to jettison the nympho tonight.
- Friday? - Yeah, all right.
Make it Friday.
Friday? Why Friday? That's ages away.
lt will give you time to get ready.
Shower, shit and a shave? lt's hardly gonna take long.
Well, you can make your place look presentable, can't you? Or just clean.
Right.
NowAdam, you're going to need a spare cot.
You've got a spare cot.
Yeah.
Yeah, l have.
- Right.
Ermchanging station.
- Uh-huh.
Stick in some blankets and stuff.
The nursery will need toys.
- Peter Rabbit mobile.
You can have it.
l hate it.
- Thank you.
Right, Gifford, get that lot, love.
For the nursery.
- Well, go on.
- Love.
Oh, Jen What? l just think it'srubbish, if you were with someone and in love with someone else, l suppose.
l take it we're talking about Adam here.
He figures in the equation, yeah.
Yeah, and if you ask me, life's too short to spend it with the wrong person.
lf you're not happy, move on.
(Sighs) (Contented groans) PETE: Here, take him will you, love? Love? Please, take him.
He wants you.
Please, love.
Come here.
- There you go.
- Hello.
- l'm going to be late for work.
- He stinks.
You know Adam was hoping for a girl? l was kind of hoping for a boy.
Why? Then we could get together at weekends as a family and play games.
(Crowd cheers) JENNY: Yes! Yes! Yes! RACHEL: Come on, Adam.
JENNY: Come on, Pete.
Do it for your mother! RACHEL: Come on! Come on! (Cheering) Gifford United 1, Williams Athletico 0.
Go on.
Go and get the ball.
Don't be daft.
What's wrong with that? You against Adam at football? He'd murder you.
- But our little nipper's one year older than his.
- lt's all right.
There's always needlework.
You don't have to be manly.
l thought you were going to work.
Yeah.
RAMONA: Pero tu sabes que no tengo problema con eso.
JOSH: Daddy, look! No, trees are green, Josh.
No, blue.
Eso es bastante, chico! Yo estoy terminado contigo! Ramona, what on earth's the matter? Javier, he does not want to see me any more.
Oh, is that all? l am going to my room! Hang on.
You have to take Josh to nursery.
- l no can go! You go! - l'm not even dressed.
David, l beg of you! - All right.
- Gracias.
- Just this once.
- Thank you! God.
Ramona! Ramona! Ramona! Where is Josh's nursery? (Both hum cheerfully) Hey, Adam, you know what this reminds me of? - What? - Painting little Adam's room.
Ah.
Yeah, well, it should do.
lt's the same paint.
Yeah.
l've nearly run out.
Give me some of yours, will you? - Hey! Hey, back off.
- Ow! Steady.
l've got to finish this wall.
Go on, open that other tin.
Child.
Oh, God.
This is magic.
l can't wait to see her face when she sees this.
Oh, yeah.
Pete, ermis this the only other tin? lt's empty except for this.
Oh, man! l've been looking for that everywhere.
Just stick it on the table.
Cheers.
l'm going to have to go and get some more.
Hey, no, Adam.
Hey.
Come here, mate.
Erm, slight problem.
This is a discontinued line and that's why we got it so cheap.
Oh.
What? You mean this is it? - l told you not to start another wall.
- l didn't know the tin was empty! What's Rachel going to say, you twat? Oh, fine.
Well, if that's your attitude, you can finish it off yourself, you turd! What with? And l'll have that back! Excellent.
- Adam's not happy with his girlfriend? - Oh, that was days ago.
By now, he won't have a girlfriend.
That was Javier! We have kiss and make out! Ramona, that's brilliant.
l'm really pleased.
David will be as well.
l don't think he enjoys that nursery run.
Adam's split up with his girlfriend? Do you think he might want tohear from me? You'll have to ask him yourself.
You're invited round for dinner.
When? Tonight.
About 8:00.
Oh, my God.
Why didn't you tell me before? You'd have got yourself into a state.
This way you've just got time to get changed.
Go on! What am l going to wear? Oh, l'm sure you'll think of something.
(Phone rings) Hello? Hello, Natalie.
What do you want? So, Joshy, did you have a good day? No? Well, we pay enough for it.
- Did you eat your biscuit? - No.
You didn't eat your biscuit.
Oh.
- David! David! - Natalie! Your wife said l'd find you here.
l just had to tell you in person.
Sorry.
What on earth are you talking about? Look.
l never wanted to let you go, David.
You were the best member of my team.
But there were some decisions l had no control over.
And that's why l've quit.
You've quit? Because they let me go? No, l quit because l couldn't make my own decisions.
Now, the thing is, l've been head-hunted by DZQ and l want you to come with me.
What as? Well, my number two, naturally.
Salary? 20% increase with pay review.
- Pension? - Top whack.
And share options.

- Shower? - Shit.
You're all right.
She's not due My God, is that the time? - What? - Joking.
Erright, you can shower, you can change, get rid of some of those unsightly nasal hairs.
Put the roast in two hours before you want to eat it, gas mark four.
Vegetables need 1 5, 20 minutes.
ln the oven? - On the oven.
- On the oven.
- You boil them.
- Yeah.
Good.
Right.
Come on, tiger.
Better go, eh? Jen.
Thanks.
Good luck.
(Clock ticks) (Doorbell rings) Surprise! Amy! - What are you doing here? - Managed to get an early flight.
Ooh! Look at you! Are you going out somewhere? - l'm late, so you can't stay.
- Where are we going? Oh, you wouldn't want to come.
You'd hate it.
lt's boxing.
Nasty.
- l like boxing.
- l know.
And it's sold out.
There isn't a spare ticket.
Nightmare.
l'm sorry.
You've got to go.
l'll give you a call tomorrow, yeah? l'll call you.
We need to talk, yeah? - Bye! - Bye.
(Doorbell rings) Hello, stranger.
Hello.
l like your hair.
Thanks.
Are you on your own? Yeah.
l'm on my own.
OK.
Come in.
You've not done any decorating, then? Well, you know me and colours.
Come in.
Oh lt looks lovely.
What are we having? Roast lamb.
Jenny's done most of it.
- Adam, about what happened - Listen, before we go into that, Rachel, there's something l want to show you.
Keep them closed.
Keep them closed.
ln you come.
Keep them closed.
Steady.
Wait! Wait, wait, wait.
OK.
You can open them.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
lt's OK.
lt's OK.
What is it? lt's OK, darling.
Adam, there is no baby.
l had an abortion.
What? l don't understand.
- You were going to have it.
- l know l was.
But when l got to London, things seemed clearer.
- lt seemed like the only option.
- No.
Look, l didn't want Kris's baby, and l couldn't be sure it was yours.
But while there was still a chance lt was the hardest decision l've ever made.
No, wait, wait.
Erm, wait.
What about me? You never got in touch.
You never asked my opinion.
l had to decide.
Didn't l have a right to know? Look around you, Rachel.
You let me do this.
You let me believe l might be a father, living in hope of the time we would bring our baby home and put her in the cot! How could you do that? How could you be so cruel? - Oh, Adam, please! - l loved that baby, Rachel! Oh, God! (Rachel sobs) (Door slams) Lovely.
Ha ha! Well, well, well.
What have we got here, then, eh? Ha ha! ls this all my lovebird wanted, and more? lt's only a room, OK? What Jennifer wants, Jennifer gets.
Hey! Hey, come on, love.
Tell me, honestly, what do you think? l think l don't love you any more.
MORCHEEBA: Let Me See Who can you trust when you Need to? Why do we rust when we Heed you? Crashing back down to earth l've found We can love Oh, let me see All of the places that l can be Oh, let me know All of the places where we can go
- Why didn't she tell you? - Good question.
Do you think Kris is the father? Me? A dad? Possibly.
Possibly not.
She sleeps with a guy she's divorcing and is having his baby.
Unless it's yours.
- Where has she gone? - ErLondon.
She's catching the 7:30 train.
ls it his? Oh, l don't know.
That's the whole point, isn't it? Every day that l'm pregnant, you'll be wondering and dreading the moment of truth.
Well l can't go through that, Adam.
For the baby's sake.
(Guard blows whistle) FATBO Y SLlM: Right Here, Right Now What are you thinking about? What? What? Well, you just smiled.
l'm allowed to smile, aren't l? She's exhausted.
Well, she's had a long journey.
From the hospital? From the womb.
Hello, chicken.
Come on.
- Hi.
- Hello.
- Are you OK? - Yeah.
l'm a bit tired.
l'm looking forward to a nice long soak, phone off the hook, nobody to disturb us.
Wahey! Welcome home! - Oh! - Oh, look.
You wanna make the most of that, mate.
There.
lt's all right.
Hello, Sarah.
ADAM: Sarah.
Sarah Amy.
Hello, Amy.
Amy, yeah.
l like Amy, you know.
Both names suit either babies or adults, but AmyAmy works for both.
Yeah, well, the fact that this kid might be Kris's Oh, God, it's just not registering, is it? Kris with a K, Kris with a K, Kris with a K.
You know, l've been thinking about that.
Kris with a K, that bollocks only shagged her once, whereas around the same time l must have slept with her loads of times.
Clearly, l'm much more likely to be the father.
l don't think it works like that.
Jen, will you indulge me, please? She's mine.
And she's a girl and she's called Amy, who will grow up to be a world-famous doctor.
And she'll travel around lecturing in the latest medical breakthroughs.
Well done, doctor.
Magnificent.
At last, a cure for cancer.
Vielen Dank.
Entschuldigung Sie, bitte.
And she'll still have time to phone her daddy.
Dad, it went really well.
Oh, my God.
Spend a lot of time fantasising, do you? Yeah.
Sure, everyone does it.
Don't you? Jenny.
- What? - Let's get married.
OK.
ADAM: No, of course not.
You're happily married.
Well, l'm married, yeah.
Oh, come on, Jen.
Pete and you are blissfully happy.
How do you know? Pete told me.
PETE: And do you know why we're happy? Has this got anything to do with drugs? No, it's because we're good for each other.
l mean, JenJen is a very restless woman.
l mean, other blokes would drive her mad, they'd stifle her, but not me, no.
l just sit back and let her be herself.
The couch potato as hero.
You know we're having the hall redecorated.
lt doesn't need it, you know, but she insisted.
She said it was drab.
- Things needed a change.
l could have argued.
- You'd have lost.
You see, my attitude towards it is this.
What Jennifer wants, Jennifer gets.
l'm easy.
She's happy.
- l'm going.
- Where? Home.
Rachel might have rung.
- You're becoming obsessive.
- l know.
Can l be practical? - Oh, God.
- Yeah.
Right, what are the facts? Rachel hasn't been in touch for - what? - six monthswith any of us.
Listen, she's moved on, right.
And l reckon it's time you did, an' all.
l don't know how to.
Start dating.
Eh? l'll set you up with someone.
Oh, Jesus! Not your sister.
Ugh! l know other single women, Adam.
No, l don't, actually.
l'll ask Pete.
Pete? Terrific.
- Look, l'm not pimping for Adam.
- lt's hardly pimping.
Yeah, but he's bound to want a shag out of it.
Oh, come on.
What about your friends? They're all married.
- Poor sods.
- Hey! So, you know, let 'em have an affair.
Come on.
There must be someone you know who's up for it.
Hey, hang on, hang on.
- There's this new girl started at work.
- Oh, yeah? What's she like? Well, she's all right, you know.
She's attractive, intelligent, bubbly.
Great! Sounds perfect.
What's her name? Rachel.
(Splash) - Anything of interest? - l doubt it, David.
They're all for you.
l was hoping Rachel might have written.
You just want to know who the father is.
Course l do.
She must be due about now.
ls OK l go to a film this evening? Absolutely fine.
l'll be back late, but David can put Josh to bed, can't you? No.
Not tonight.
Sorry.
What are you doing tonight? Nothing.
l have a job.
l'm not doing Ramona's as well.
That's nice of Daddy, isn't it, darling? Hm? l don't want to! l know.
l agree.
Morning, Julie.
Get me the Frankfurt office, please.
Helmut Schrager.
Lunch time today, table for two.
Make sure it's Del Amici's this time.
Thanks.
Natalie's office called.
She wants to see you.
Fine.
Get me the Frankfurt office, please.
She says it's urgent.
So's the call to Frankfurt.
(Phone rings) Marsden.
Natalie! Good morning Yeah.
l'm just on my way to see you.
ADAM: l'm not sure about this.
(Phone rings) - l'm a bit old for blind dates.
Blind date? lt's hardly a blind date.
There's gonna be six of us.
Safety in numbers.
And if you don't fancy Amy, you can get off with Robin's wife.
- Amy? - Yeah.
That's what l thought me and Rachel might call our daughter.
Well, it's probably best you don't talk about that, mate.
Right.
We don't need all them, love.
Why? ls she not coming? Oh, great.
Dumped before l've even met her.
Rob and Sophie aren't.
Sophie's gone into labour.
So there's just going to be four of us? - lt will be obvious you're setting us up.
(Doorbell rings) - Phone her.
Tell her it's off.
- l think it's a bit late for that.
You'll be all right.
lt'll be fine.
Don't mention Rachel, OK? Rachel? Rachel? Clever.
Right.
Drink? Slash.
Oi! Hey, Adam.
This is Amy.
That's a beautiful name.
- Thank you.
- lt's Amy's birthday today.
Really? lt's my daughter's birthday.
- Really? - Well, due date.
To be honest, l don't know if she's been born.
Or if she's a girl.
Or if she's mine.
Let's see about that drink.
Come on.
(Front door opens) David, where the hell have you been? Your mobile's switched off.
Disconnected.
Have you been drinking? Since mid-morning.
You've closed the Westcott deal, haven't you? l knew you would.
l'd quite forgotten about that.
Funny.
Well, what were you celebrating, then? Well, this morning l was given this cheque.
Oh, my God! They must be really pleased with you.
David, this is a huge bonus.
Mm.
No, Karen.
lt's not a bonus.
lt's my redundancy money.
Yeah, she cheated on me with her ex-husband.
Just the once, but, well, pretty soon after she got pregnant, and we don't know who by.
Mind you, he's black.
So, the minute the baby's born, it will be pretty obvious who the father was.
Anyway, l offered to stand by her.
But she felt she'd screwed everything up, and soshe left.
And that's that story.
Yeah.
Good one.
- Great.
Any more for anyone? - Oh, no.
lt was lovely.
She's moved to London to live with her sister.
l've written to her every day since.
And she hasn't replied? Oh, no.
l never sent the letters.
They're all just piling up at home.
Yeah, think of the money you've saved on postage.
You can read them if you like.
(Mouths) (Sighs) Wine! - Yes, please.
- Yeah.
Oh, sorry.
Come here.
Are you out of your mind? What? You don't pull birds by offering to let them read love letters to your ex.
No, no, no, they're not all love letters.
Some of them are quite bitter, actually.
Right.
- Sorry about Adam.
- Oh, so am l.
That poor bloke.
He's lovely, isn't he? (Giggles) l never saw it coming! Yet the signs were obvious.
As soon as l entered her office, Karen, she closed the door behind me.
l mean, l've done it a thousand times to people l'm about to lay off.
Coffee? ldiot that l am, l thought she just wanted privacy.
About the merger, David.
For merger read takeover.
l've just been sent the list of who's to be made redundant.
You're not serious? l'm afraid l am.
l don't know what to say.
You're going to be sorely missed.
l mean, how stupid can you get? Clearly, she wasn't about to say that she'd been been laid off.
l mean, when people in her position get fired, they're not encouraged to hang around.
Security marches them off the premises before they can steal any documents.
Anywaythat's when she told me.
Then what happened? Funeral March We call it the Dead Man's Walk.
So humiliating! Everybody knew what was going on.
Well, everybody apart from my moronic secretary.
Oh, David, l booked Del Amici's for one o'clock.
Now, take your time.
Would you like me to get Herr Schrager for you now? At least you'll beat the rush hour.
l'm so sorry, David.
And l suppose she didn't think to cancel Del Amici's, so my name will be mud there as well.
Well, thanks for dinner.
- Thanks for coming.
- Yeah, cheers.
And nice meeting you, Adam.
- Oh, actually, l erml should be on my way, too.
- What? - You don't have to go yet, do you? - Yeah.
Yeah, he does.
lt's getting late.
We've got a hell of an early start in the morning.
What? Are you mad? - lt's Saturday tomorrow.
- Yeah, it is.
Yeah.
And er Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- We've erm We've got to go shopping.
- Shopping.
Yeah.
- Hm.
Yeah.
- All right.
OK.
Bye.
- Bye! - Bye! BOTH: Oo-ooh! Oi, get off.
Stop it! Dog.
So, do you fancy a drink, then? Yeah.
Are there any pubs round here? No, but l know a good park bench.
Ah, they won't miss it.
(Sobs) Oh, David.
(Doorbell rings) - Oh, God.
Who's that? RAMONA: l'll get him! l bet it's that wretched boyfriend of hers.
He can't stay the night.
Well, whoever it is, l'll get rid of them.
Escusita, Karen.
No, he can't stay the night! l haven't caught you at a bad time, have l? Hi, Rach.
Long time, no see.
Absolutely.
David, l'm so sorry.
Excuse me.
You told her! What did l say to you five minutes ago? - To keep it quiet until you find another job.
- Then the neighbours need never know.
Rachel's not a neighbour.
Anyway, don't you think they'll suspect when they see you at home all day? Unless you're planning to put on a suit and go to work every morning.
Darling, you weren't? There's no shame in losing a job.
Most people would love the chance to have more time at home.
Why? You can spend more time with Josh.
Don't you think l don't have things to do? l'm not a nanny.
l haven't sunk that low yet.
- Escusita - No, he cannot stay the night! God.
Sit down, Rach.
- You look really well.
- Thanks.
Rach, l've been dying to know.
How was the birth? What did it weigh? ls it a boy or a girl? Does it look like its father? Tell me, Jen.
How well do you know Amy? Erwell, not as well as youmaybe.
OhmyGod.
Right, erm Works with Pete, recently dumped by her boyfriend, don't know why.
That's it.
He probably wanted some rest.
- Urgh! - Yeah.
You know what you need? What? A good seeing-to.
That will get you over your girlfriend.
Now, what was her name? l can't remember.
(Both giggle) She didn't really look the type, did she? l know.
God, l know.
So, what happened? Same again.
Oh, yeah, all right.
Go on.
No, no, no, l meansame again.
And again.
And then we went home together.
Oh, my God.
No wonder you're knackered.
l know.
God, nothing in six months and then five times in one night.
Oh, yeah.
Even then, l was begging her to let me go to sleep.
So, are you going to see her again? Are you wise? l want to live past 40.
No, come the morning, l thought l'd scarper, but l couldn't.
Why? Because we were staying in my place.
Anyway, l decided there and then, that's it, l'm not going to see her again.
Well, maybe give her a rematch in about six months.
But thenthings kind of changed.
Next morning, l'm in the kitchen, praying for death.
l'm about to put the pan on, and the doorbell goes.
(Doorbell rings) Karen, erhi.
Hi, Adam.
So, how did he look? Come on.
First impressions.
How did he look? Not good.
Whisky on his breath.
KAREN: ls this a bad time? No, no, no, no.
Come in.
Come in.
Unsteady on his feet.
Sorry.
And what looked like grass stains on his boxers.
God.
He looked like someone who's given up, Rachel.
You think that it's my fault? No, l think people choose to become winos.
- Hello! - Hi, Noriko.
How are you? You know.
Got my hands full.
- l'll leave you to it.
- OK.
Do you want to play with Josh? Yeah? OK.
Let's go.
- You didn't tell him that l sent you, did you? - No.
You didn't want me to mention you unless he did.
Did he? Are you all right, Adam? Me? God, yeah, l'm fine.
Great.
ln factl've never been better.
Liar.
l was hardly going to say, ''l'm a bit depressed.
'' You know, l like Karen, but l haven't seen her for ages, and suddenly she turns up to tell me - The baby's yours.
- Or his.
Kris with a K, that bollocks.
Either way, she could tell me.
l wasn't going to ask.
l don't know.
l justdecided to sit there and play it cool.
(Coughs) Adam doesn't smoke.
l know.
They were Amy's, but l was bricking it.
So, you don't mind being on your own, then? l'm not on my own.
l'm erseeing someone.
You've got a girlfriend? AMY: Adam? Are you coming back to bed? Sorry.
l didn't know you had company.
Amy, this is Karen.
- Hi.
- Karen, Amy.
Your new girlfriend? He's got a girlfriend? So, you intended to knock it on the head, and now you're very much an item.
And he didn't mention me at all? l'm sorry, Rachel.
(Child cries) Oh, my God.
Noriko, what's happened? What have you done? Oh, he slipped.
l was watching him.
l think that's quite deep.
l think you should get him to Casualty.
See if he needs a stitch.
We'll look after Machiko.
You look after Akira.
Give me a ring on my mobile when you're ready.
lt's all right, darling.
Hey, you.
Hey, hey.
Hey! Hey! - See you later.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
Say bye-bye.
Bye! Get something nice.
Choose something nice.
OK.
What are we gonna get? Let's see.
Do you fancy .
.
apple and banana, or apricot custard? No.
How about Ah! Chocolate pudding? (Gurgles) Yes.
Like mother, like son, eh? Come on.
Let's see.
Hello, you! Hello, you! Hiya.
You took your time.
Oh, ho ho! Please, take him, take him.
Please? - Thank you.
- Hello.
You will not believe Where's the rest of the shopping? - lt's all l could get.
- Are we suddenly living in the Soviet Union? Da.
Yeah.
Ah, Adam! lt's Pete.
Please, you've got to get yourself here pronto.
Jesus! Where the hell were you? ln your bathroom.
lt's not easy answering the phone with your hands full.
You might want to put that toilet mat in the wash.
- Hm - Erm Adam, l've just seen Rachel.
Rachel? Where? ln the supermarket with Karen.
And er she had a baby with her.
What did it look like? (Exhales) A boy No.
Am l its father? - lt's not that clear cut.
- What? Look, this might sound odd, but to me it looked Chinese.
Chinese? How can our baby be Chinese? They say every fourth child born in the world is Chinese.
lt might be jaundice.
Very common.
Yeah.
You know, not so much its features, more its colour.
But, man, there's proof.
Lookphotos.
Supermarket trolley, ermy foot, the floor.
There.
Baby! Erit's a baby.
Chinese is not an option, Pete! Think very carefully.
The father of that child is either black or white.
Which is it? White.
White! (Baby starts crying) - White.
White.
White.
(Josh imitates a jet engine) lt's morning! lt's morning! lt's morning! Oh, for God's sake! (Wails) Ramona! RACHEL: Adam! Amy! Come on in now.
Your lunch is ready! Down you go.
Well done.
Oh! You're heavy.
What are you smiling about? Argh! l forgot you were there.
Mm.
l think l can guess.
l know what makes men smile.
Er, no, Amy.
Amy, wait.
Erm, listen.
Er You know l told you about my ex-girlfriend, the one who's pregnant? You're not still hung up on her, are you? Well, you know my cure for that.
No.
No, God, Amy, no.
Back, back, back.
(Amy giggles) - Look, the thing is Erm l found out l am the father.
Pete saw Rachel in town, and the baby's white.
Congratulations.
Thanks.
So, anyway Do you want to go and see that movie tonight cos l've got to go to Dublin tomorrow and l think it finishes this week? Er, Amy, hello? Did you not hear me? Yeah.
Well, don't you think this changes things? No, not really.
Loads of fathers have lost touch with their kids.
l haven't lost touch! l haven't been in touch, but l'm going to see Rachel tonight, andl'm sorry, but, you know, there's a good chance we might get back together.
Two problems with that.
First, you're going out with me.
Second, what makes you think Rachel wants to see you? Eh? Well, she knows your address.
Why hasn't she been in touch? PETE: Well, it's a good question.
l'll give her that.
l know.
lt was bugging me all morning, till l l came up with the answer.
Look, Pete, why would Rachel not want me to know the baby's mine? Because it's ugly.
No, Stanley! Because she doesn't want me back in her life.
She's met someone else.
No.
That's terrible.
l'm sorry, mate.
Oh, God, that's not the worst of it.
She's been looking forward to seeing you.
Talked about nothing else all week, have you, Amy? Daddy? MAN: Yes, darling? Can l get down now? Sure.
Yes, sure.
lt doesn't bear thinking about.
Are you going to see Rachel tonight? No, l can't.
l've got to go to the cinema.
Besides, before l make a move, l want to know what l'm up against.
You know, who is this bollocks? Name, job, salary.
You know, when did he meet Rachel? Have they just started going out? Have they had sex? Are they living together? What does she see in him? lt's a long list of questions.
Yeah, no, actuallyyou may want to write them down in case Jenny forgets.
Carl, have you got a pen? Yeah.
Yeah, l understand, Clive.
Difficult time.
Yeah.
Well, l Yeah.
Well, l just thought if youhear of anything, yeah Yeah.
OK.
Bye.
(Josh imitates a train) Let's play trains.
Not now, Josh.
(Josh sobs) RAMONA: Excuse me, David.
l don't think this is right.
OK? l couldn't agree with you more.
l mean, you slave your guts out, doing everything your employer demands of you, and they think their only responsibility to you is to pay you well.
Yeah.
Not always very well, eh? There were paid holidays, six weeks a year No, four.
But when push comes to shove, they've got no sense of loyalty.
You're not a real person to them.
Most of the time, they don't know you're there.
You know, you are so right.
That is how l have been feeling.
Ramona, shouldn't you be looking after Josh? How's Pete? All right.
Rachel? You know she's back, then? Pete saw her.
Yeah.
She hasn't been in touch with Adam, though.
No, well, he doesn't seem that interested in seeing her, so What on earth makes you say that? l went round there myself, Jenny.
He didn't ask after Rachel once.
Or the baby for that matter.
Too busy flashing round his new girlfriend.
What - the nymphomaniac? lt's not his girlfriend.
Well, she thinks she is, but he's not into her.
- No way! - Are you serious? He'd dump her if he thought he'd get back with Rachel.
- Would he? - Yeah.
Listen, l'm meant to be subtle about this, but sod that.
Right.
What have we got? (Reads) What's his name? What does he earn? How big's his willy? (Laughs) Whose? This new bloke of Rachel's.
What new bloke? - ''What new bloke?'' - There is no bloke.
- There is no bloke! - There is no bloke.
Never has been.
Rachel just thought you didn't want to see her.
- Or your baby.
- What about the baby? Oh, my God, l knew l'd forgotten something.
What about the baby? What is it? A boy or a girl? Girl or boy? Boy or girl? Girl or boy? Girl-boy? l can't answer that, Jenny.
Well, you canreally, cos you just look and if it's got a little willy, then it's probably a boy.
No.
Don't you think Adam better hear that from Rachel? l tell you what, l'll ask Rachel if she'll call round tonight.
Tonight? Tonight? She could be standing on the doorstep right now! Wait.
That's no good.
He'll have to jettison the nympho tonight.
- Friday? - Yeah, all right.
Make it Friday.
Friday? Why Friday? That's ages away.
lt will give you time to get ready.
Shower, shit and a shave? lt's hardly gonna take long.
Well, you can make your place look presentable, can't you? Or just clean.
Right.
NowAdam, you're going to need a spare cot.
You've got a spare cot.
Yeah.
Yeah, l have.
- Right.
Ermchanging station.
- Uh-huh.
Stick in some blankets and stuff.
The nursery will need toys.
- Peter Rabbit mobile.
You can have it.
l hate it.
- Thank you.
Right, Gifford, get that lot, love.
For the nursery.
- Well, go on.
- Love.
Oh, Jen What? l just think it'srubbish, if you were with someone and in love with someone else, l suppose.
l take it we're talking about Adam here.
He figures in the equation, yeah.
Yeah, and if you ask me, life's too short to spend it with the wrong person.
lf you're not happy, move on.
(Sighs) (Contented groans) PETE: Here, take him will you, love? Love? Please, take him.
He wants you.
Please, love.
Come here.
- There you go.
- Hello.
- l'm going to be late for work.
- He stinks.
You know Adam was hoping for a girl? l was kind of hoping for a boy.
Why? Then we could get together at weekends as a family and play games.
(Crowd cheers) JENNY: Yes! Yes! Yes! RACHEL: Come on, Adam.
JENNY: Come on, Pete.
Do it for your mother! RACHEL: Come on! Come on! (Cheering) Gifford United 1, Williams Athletico 0.
Go on.
Go and get the ball.
Don't be daft.
What's wrong with that? You against Adam at football? He'd murder you.

There's always needlework.
You don't have to be manly.

Yeah.
RAMONA: Pero tu sabes que no tengo problema con eso.
JOSH: Daddy, look! No, trees are green, Josh.

David will be as well.

But there were some decisions l had no control over.
And that's why l've quit.

But when l got to London, things seemed clearer.

But while there was still a chance lt was the hardest decision l've ever made.
No, wait, wait.
Erm, wait.
What about me? You never got in touch.
You never asked my opinion.
l had to decide.
Didn't l have a right to know? Look around you, Rachel.
You let me do this.
You let me believe l might be a father, living in hope of the time we would bring our baby home and put her in the cot! How could you do that? How could you be so cruel? - Oh, Adam, please! - l loved that baby, Rachel! Oh, God! (Rachel sobs) (Door slams) Lovely.
Ha ha! Well, well, well.
What have we got here, then, eh? Ha ha! ls this all my lovebird wanted, and more? lt's only a room, OK? What Jennifer wants, Jennifer gets.
