1
Hey, hey, hey, hey! No!
I don't forgive you
because what you did
I know, I know. ..but I can't waste
any more of my life.
Well, it's an apology. No, it's a
quiche for intercoursing my wife.
Why did you with Dom? I mean,
you can't have loved him.
Christ, no!
When we were
..was I?
Do you mean,
were you better than your mum?
Oh, my God, no! No, forget it!
Oh, no, no, no!
Do you have a good
support network?
I've got friends.
Well, I've got a friend.
There's Billy.
I want to take you on a date.
Proper date. One foot wrong
and you're back in prison.
So don't forget that.
There are people who want to
poison
my daughter's memory with lies
and slander.
I was 17. And you were the grown up.
It wouldn't be hard
to dismantle you.
This community has got us
through the darkest of times.
We'll make sure we're not
dragged into the darkness again.
Once upon a time there were
three little piggies who were just
trying to live their lives.
But the Big Bad Wolf wanted to
destroy them.
He couldn't help himself.
The first little piggy built a house
of straw and tried to live in it.
But the Big Bad Wolf wanted to eat
her up, so he blew the house down.
She tried to run away
but he found her.
She was his now and he was going
to eat her slowly, a bite at a time.
The second little piggy built
a house of sticks
but he ran that over in his car.
Tried to kill her, the bastard.
But thankfully she got away.
The third little piggy was fed up.
He'd ruined her childhood,
taken her virginity,
so she built herself a house
of bricks and nothing could get in.
But he kept on
and on trying to blow it down.
Until one day,
she decided she had had enough.
Oh. OK? Er, yeah. I'm amazing.
I'm on fire.
I'm powerful like a ninja and no-one
is ever going to mess with me again.
Where's Mandy? I don't know.
But do you know where her Wonderbra
is? Because I need to make myself
look more womanly.
She said she was returning my waffle
maker but she's not at Cookfellows.
She, she was at the churchyard
and now she's at the pier.
So she's on the pier. What?
Well, you just asked where she was.
Did I? Yeah. She's on the pier.
Er, so how do you even know that?
From her phone.
Are youare you tracking your
wife? Not her, her phone.
She loses it a lot.
OK, so what is the problem?
Apart from the fact that you're
a spy and I need to make my tits
look bigger.
She should be in Cookfellows.
It closes at 8pm.
I bought it in the sale
and if she doesn't return it by 8pm,
it's unreturnable.
I'd go find her but Yeah, but you
don't want her to know that you're
stalking her. Not her, her phone.
Aaagh! It's a waffle maker, Mark.
I've got my first ever
date in 20 minutes.
I'm making mashed potato.
It's my first ever date
in my whole life ever!
Please? Oh, OK fine. Fine.
Did she seem OK?
Where exactly, is she?
Well, she's at the lighthouse now.
That's really creepy, Mark.
Don't tell her.
It's really fucking creepy.
Thanks.
You're just as annoying as you
were at school, by the way!
Thank you.
SIGHS Fuck's sake.
Mandy?
Hello? Mandy?!
Oh, Jeez! What are you doing here?
What are you doing?
I'm looking for Mandy, not you.
She's not here.
Mandy?!
I guess it's just you and me.
No-one for miles.
Are you threatening me?
Just stating the facts.
Just stop it! Stop it!
None of this will bring her back.
I don't know what you're
talking about.
I don't like you, you don't like me.
But I don't wish you ill.
Just go home, go back to your life.
I wish you ill.
Oh, Jesus Christ! Why is everyone
hiding in a lighthouse?
If you go near my daughter again,
I will fucking
It was cold, she was walking home.
SHE SCOFFS I was being a gentleman.
Look, I know what you're doing.
You're trying to mess with my head.
She reminded me of you.
You fucking arsehole!
Rise above him, Mandy! You're a
bully! A horrible, horrible
Yes, he is. He is but
I'm good friends with
the school governors.
I think I'm going to have
a word with them,
suggest you take some time off.
Unstable, danger to the school.
BEEPING
Stop it! Oh, God, she's hungry.
I will, I will feed her later.
Can you just leave her alone?!
We have to make peace.
Little whore. Oh, come on!
You WOLF! Guys, Enough! OK? Enough!
Mandy, go home,
I need to borrow a Wonderbra.
And, John, I'm going to start
calling you John,
just stop it, drop it.
You used to make a mean lasagne.
Be that guy, be lasagne guy.
Not this super villain.
Hey, look, I know that you suffered
a terrible tragedy at my hands,
but don't you worry, I am paying
for that every second of my life.
You, you're a free man,
you can go Free?!
How dare you?
You can never escape grief.
I know, I know. Believe me. I know.
And II will never stop being
sorry for the grief that
I have caused you.
But you can do better than this.
Don't get stuck in this.
We have to live our lives
as best we can.
For her. For Lara. Yes, yes!
Yeah? OK, come on.
Let's, let's go home.

OK, OK!
If I go anywhere near him, I am in
prison for life, do you understand?

It was a slap.
You smashed his face in.
He smirked! Oh, my God, fuck!
Anyway, hehe might just.
He might be sleeping.
He's not sleeping,

I've felt it for weeks.
Oh, nonsense. You don't want to be
near me. Ludicrous.
Cutting me out of your life

unlike your coven of ungodly
witches.

if I'm not in the jolliest of moods,
but the man who defiled my wife is
currently defiling my toilet!

It arrives tomorrow. Oh, wow, Billy!
Yeah.
I had a plan to do that eventually,
but maybe we couldtogether?
I mean, I know you officially
start at the supermarket on Thursday
but in the future maybe we could be
the Ice Creamers or something.
You know?
Travel around in our little van and
I could fix gardens too and erm
Well, we'd be free, you know.
And erm, we could be our own bosses
and go on adventures.

At the lighthouse, do you remember

Why does everyone around you
keep dying?
I didn't touch him, OK?
I didn't touch him.
And I was trying to make peace.
And I thought that I sort of had
Fuck sakes, Miri!
Fuck! Why does this
happen to you all the time?
Drama. I'm sorry.

But we will. Or we won't, in time.
In your time. But, hey, I'm in.
I'm in, Miri Matteson.
You won't get rid of me now.
Why? Gut instinct.
I think you're a good egg
who's had some bad luck.
II am a good egg. You are.
A really good egg. You are.
Shall we go and sort this out? Yes.
OK, it's been an hour now.
No excretion should take this long.
It's ludicrous.
We should check on him.
What? Well, I'm not going in there!
We have to do something, Oscar.
He might bedead or something.
Well, why would he be
Because it's been an hour!
Hello?
If you're finished, might
we suggest you wipe up and leave.
Please. "Wipe up"?
I didn't know what else to say.
Wipe up? Good God.
Listen boy, it's time to go.
Shit or get off the pot.
Oh, that was much better.
Dom, get off our toilet and leave
immediately or we're coming in!
Oh, God. What? He's slumped forward.
What?
Christ. He looks dead.
Well, you can't die from
But maybe he's taken something.
Drugs. God!
Should we call an ambulance?
One, two, three.
HE ROARS
Dom? Thank God. DOM SNORES
Wake up! Dom.
HE CONTINUES SNORING
Well, I can see what you saw in him.
SHE CHUCKLES Bugger off.
BOTH CHUCKLE
Hey, it's fine.
Everybody in this town's asleep.
He's gone! Thank God.
Mr John! John? Hey, hey.
He must be OK.
Maybe it was concussion?
Well, I did tell her to call
an ambulance. Yeah.
She probably did that.
He's probably in hospital.
Yeah, OK. It's good news!
Come on, it's fine.
It stinks. Mandy did a wee.
John? Miri, it's fine.
He's not here.
John?
Come on. Yeah.
And the three little piggies,
they were safe and sound.
And they all ate up
the Big Bad Wolf.
And lived happily ever after.
I thought two of the piggies died.
No, not in my version.
I hate the Big Bad Wolf. Me too.
HER VOICE BREAKS
Why are you crying? Because I love
you. And your stupid dad.
Me? Yeah. And your horrible sister.
I just, I love you all.
Shut the fuck up!
I can't hear the telly!
