Lovesick (Scrotal Recall) (2014) s03e04 Episode Script
Evie
1 [ROCK MUSIC PLAYING.]
Come the leopard and lace The faces that tore me Keep guarding my way What happened to us? Torn from the moment Lost to the sound I can't feel enough To feel the weight of us I can't feel enough [SNORING.]
I can't feel enough This love ain't mine This love ain't mine This love ain't mine Big day.
[SNORING CONTINUES.]
- [SNORTS.]
What? Is it the baby? - No, it's you.
Why? What's wrong with me? You sound like you're about to die.
You keep going [IMITATES SNORING.]
Yeah, I do sometimes snore when I'm tired.
No, I've slept next to snoring, and this is something else.
Maybe it's because of your wriggling.
You don't stop moving.
- Only if I'm awake.
- You wriggled all night.
I've been up all night thanks to your snoring.
Which was because of your wriggling.
The one followed the other.
I'm the chicken.
You're the egg.
- Which came first? Wasn't me.
- Hey.
Look, I think we're just tired.
I might sleep back at my old place tonight.
It's just Well, the mattress here isn't great.
Yes.
This mattress is terrible.
Yeah, it's sagging, but also hard It's all wrong, isn't it? And if you were comfortable at night Well, I'd be asleep and you wouldn't Not even a snuffle out of me! That's the problem here.
This motherfucker has to go.
What are you thinking? I was wondering if you're okay about Abigail.
I think so.
Um I think we should just be in the moment today.
I have this habit I know your habits.
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]
So, could we just not think any further than a cup of tea? I'd love one.
[CHUCKLES.]
[ABIGAIL.]
I'm not saying I'm doing it, I just If I did have to leave the city, can I sublet the flat? Or is there any chance you'd let me out of the contract early? I'd just quite like to know what the options are.
- [SIGHS.]
You're awake, you sly bugger.
- Unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
You're trying to sneak out without so much as a thank you note on the side table.
No, I was just getting up to look for a pen.
Okay, all right, I'll just pop a review on TripAdvisor later on.
- Honestly, the sneak out, though? - Come on.
That is a classic.
Surely you have used that a million times? I personally do not favor it.
It risks insinuating that shame is at work.
- I'm not ashamed.
- Well, me neither.
But the whole very quiet dressing and a tiptoe out routine implies that somebody is trying to avoid something.
I think it's considerate.
Letting the other person get their full eight hours of beauty sleep.
No.
What you do is this Shake the other person awake, gently, of course.
You pay them one solid compliment and then leave.
Jonesy.
Your thighs are smooth and fragrant, but I'm going to leave now because I have a squash lesson.
- A squash lesson? - Yeah.
You can't just wander onto the court with a racket.
- There are techniques to learn.
- Oh, I am sorry, but the lame excuse for leaving is so much worse than the sneaking out.
- Really? - Yeah.
- Are you serious? - Why not? Look, the one-night stand requires darkness, alcohol and an itch that needs scratching.
But now? Stop.
It is light, and I am hungover, and that itch has been well and truly scratched, my sweet, sweet darling.
No.
You're thinking about this all wrong.
Luke, I just need to - Oh! Hello.
What are you doing here? - I had sex with Luke last night.
Oh! Well, how nice.
Sorry, am I intruding? - No.
We're good.
We're all done here.
- But are we? I could come back later if we're undecided? - No.
It's definitely decided.
- [ANGUS.]
Luke, do we have consensus? - [SIGHS.]
What's up, man? - Right, well, Holly's not comfortable on my mattress.
I just wanted to The springs on this bad boy went south a long time ago.
- Wear and tear, baby.
- Curly, could you pass me my pants? Oh.
I think it's Holly's pregnancy.
Her body's not responding well to normal bedding.
Is that something that can happen? Sounds like something that might happen.
Hmm.
Anyway, a new mattress is what's called for.
Right, I'm off.
Luke, very well done for last night, five stars.
But my father just died.
My God, Jonesy, I'm so sorry No, he's not really dead, but I do have a squash lesson to get to.
So, goodbye.
Hey, you know who has a really terrific mattress? Bloody hell.
- Sorry.
- Hi.
Sorry.
It's fine.
It's just Sorry.
Can I just clarify? Have the two of you been having sex? You're good friends, and there's a chance there's a perfectly normal explanation for both of you being naked in bed together.
- No, we've had - Yeah.
We No need to be shy.
We've all been there.
Well, not Luke.
But you and I did.
So is this a Luke and Jonesy sort of thing or something else? - A what? - A sex friends arrangement? - No.
No.
- No.
- Oh - [EVIE CHUCKLES SOFTLY.]
Wow! Bloody hell! Well done! [CHUCKLES.]
Was there something? Yes.
Well remembered.
The mattress.
I want to see if your mattress is any good.
- It's very pleasant.
- May I? [WHOOPS.]
Yes.
Ooh.
That is a very nice bounce.
Can I just take down the details? Okay.
- It's for Holly.
- [LUKE.]
Angus! - [ANGUS.]
In here.
- [LUKE.]
Seriously, I was about one minute off persuading Jonesy to No fucking way! - Way.
- Definitely way.
Oh, my God, are you seeing this? Yes.
Not even a you-and-Jonesy sort of thing.
Sorry, what is a Luke and Jonesy sort of This is huge.
Or is it huge? I mean, you guys together? You love each other? Yeah, that sort of sums it for me.
- [SCREAMS.]
I'm really naked under here.
- Don't you worry about that, poppet.
Angus, get in here, bud.
Ooh! Four of us on the mattress, I still feel very supported by it.
Wow I actually feel very emotional.
- [ANGUS.]
It came as a shock to me, too.
- Guys.
- Do you want some space? - Well You do, don't you? You'd like some space.
You'd like some old-fashioned alone time? - It's fine, you can hang out.
- Can I? Ah! See, there was a little bit of hesitation there.
Was there? Did Angus interrupt you guys having sex? Angus, did you interrupt them having sex? We were drinking tea.
It's fine.
You know what? For now, do your thing.
Come on, we're third and fourth wheeling.
It's fine.
You can stay.
Do you need me to? I love you guys, and I will do that for you.
Were we feeling some sort of awkward silence? Because I will fill that shit with conversation all day long.
Easy.
It's not that we need you to stay.
It's more that you can, if you want to.
Why don't we all just get up? Okay, cool.
Me and Angus will go first.
Yeah! [BOTH CHUCKLE.]
- Does that mean we have to get up now? - I think we've sort of promised to.
Hmm.
Was Luke all right? I thought he went a bit Yeah, that whole "we're third wheels" thing.
Yeah.
Maybe we should just invite him out instead of, like, dating? - We're going to date? - Aren't we? I don't know.
Have we skipped all that? - I probably need to get up anyway.
- Big plans? I need to get my stuff from Abigail's.
I left some things there, and she texted.
Of course, that's fine.
It could probably wait.
More tea? I'll make it.
I am now going to walk across the room, naked, in daylight, and I think it's okay if you look.
Might as well get it over with.
[LAUGHS.]
Same day delivery? That's wonderful.
Yes, I will pay the extra £20.
One thousand hand-stitched pocket springs.
- Is it really expensive? - No, it's fine.
You, my love, are gonna sleep like a dead woman.
Yeah, it's one, two, six, eight, nine Hey.
So, um, nothing's going to change.
We just wanted you to know that.
And we should all go out tomorrow.
Together.
Sounds great.
So, it's so weird, man.
A week ago, I was telling Abigail that I love her, and I thought I did, but now I don't, and I'm with Evie.
It's not weird, dude.
It's Dylan 101.
I mean, it's classic edition Dylan.
- No.
No, it's - It's essence de Dylan.
- Just don't fuck it up.
- We won't.
She won't.
But you might.
What? Why me? - Come on.
- Come on what? I've seen you fall in love a dozen times.
Maybe more.
I've never seen you in a relationship longer than four months.
That's what I'm saying.
This time it matters.
- If you mess this up - Or if she does It'll break the three of us apart.
There's no getting around it.
Whether we like it or not, we are a love triangle with me a non-sexual participant.
Listen, I can handle a couple plus moi.
But moi plus two people who won't talk to each other Fuck.
And that is all on your shoulders now, Dylan.
Hence don't fuck it up.
This is meant to be our honeymoon period.
Then what are you doing in here? Go back to bed! - I came here to reassure you.
- Consider me reassured.
Now I'm completely thrown.
You're not having second thoughts already? No! I just want it all to be simple! I mean, you know, at least for a week.
Don't we at least get that? You know what, forget what I said, okay? You guys are going to be great.
I'm genuinely happy for you.
If one of my friends finds happiness, it's a great day.
My two best friends finding it on the same day? Break out the champagne.
Just don't fuck it up.
Look, the most exciting thing is it ushers in an era of double-dating.
Dates are often the two of you trying to think of things you might possibly have in common, and now I'll have two proper friends there, and it'll still count as a date.
So everyone wins.
We can even walk home together.
The only thing I'll have to do on my own is the sex.
[GROANS.]
That is one hell of a mattress.
Come and have a bounce.
Sorry, I really should have That's okay.
There's no rush.
[CHUCKLES.]
- Did you check the bathroom? - Yeah, yeah.
This is probably it.
If I find anything else Yeah, don't worry about it.
- I'll just send it on.
- Whatever's easiest.
- It's like some Cold War exchange.
- [LAUGHS.]
Meet at the border, swap assets and then - Thank you.
And - Don't.
I was just gonna ask if you're okay.
I know you were.
I'll be fine.
Got socks, pants, couple of T-shirts, slightly soiled.
You are good to go, my friend.
Are you with her? I know it's not my place to ask, but I just wondered.
You can see why I would.
You don't have to say.
Yeah, I think we're gonna be together.
That's good.
I'm really I'm [EVIE.]
You don't think he'll change his mind? I think, um, he'll have a wobble at some point in his late 80s and only for an afternoon.
And then you'll die in each other's arms two weeks later.
Yeah.
End-stage chlamydia, never fully cured.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
But he has been gone quite a long time.
Did he pack a bag before he left? Did he express a desire to run away with the circus? - Mm-hmm.
- One last quick shag with Abigail? - Hey, that's close to the bone.
- Sorry.
No, I think you'll be fine.
It all just all looks so uphill.
There's this idea of where I'm meant to end up.
And I don't even necessarily know if I want children, but somehow there's still this picture in my head and it's a cottage with a dozen kids running around, and I'm fatter and contented with books published.
And I'm loved.
And then on days like today, it just feels exhausting, the prospect of slogging my way there, from here.
[SIGHS.]
Sorry.
No, I do I understand some of that.
I felt that way for a long time.
But not today.
I don't know how I feel today.
[CELL PHONE VIBRATING.]
You should get that.
[SIGHS.]
She'll be wondering where you are.
- No, it's - Trust me, you should get it.
Anyway, you can go.
I can stay.
I don't want you to.
I'd like us to be friends.
When you feel like If that's something that you want.
We live in the same city, and you're really great.
All right.
Breaking down Your days getting longer There's a yellow glass dragon Who's chasing you around Sit your head on a silver jet stream While the smoke is rising over Your thoughts and your dreams Okay.
Off you go.
You get up Get up, you get up You get up - [ANGUS.]
Well? - [HOLLY.]
Yeah.
Really comfy.
Very supportive.
Do you want to put it through its paces? No, we don't have to.
Um Maybe just a smattering of oral and see where we end up? Or just a bloody good night's sleep.
At last.
I'm not sure it's the mattress.
No, it is.
It definitely is.
Poor sleep wreaks havoc on your cortisol levels.
- It turns people into monsters.
- But I worry that Have a night's sleep.
Just sleep it all off.
You think that's the reason why we've been bickering? I'm sure of it.
And I'm sorry I put you through a bad mattress for so long.
I'm an idiot.
I love you.
Just shut your eyes and go to sleep.
Okay.
Yeah.
Go on.
Go off to sleep.
I'm gonna watch you do it.
Just drift off.
Get yourself ten wonderful hours of undisturbed rest.
Healing, soothing rest, all taking place on a mattress made of 1,000 hand-stitched pocket springs.
- Angus! - All right.
[LUKE.]
Yeah, I'm in town anyway, so it's really no trouble.
Which bar are you in? Yeah, I know it.
I know it well.
[CHUCKLES.]
Seriously, this bar that I'm currently in is really quiet anyway, so I'll come and find you.
Happy to.
Hi, stranger.
Hi.
Sorry that took - Was it okay? - Yeah.
Obviously not easy, but fine.
Are you coming to bed? Definitely.
Let me just, um - Are you sure everything's all right? - Of course.
You're just acting a bit What? I don't know.
Was everything all right? What are you asking? Nothing.
I'm just asking if you're okay.
I've answered that question twice in the last minute.
Yeah, and each time your answer is total bollocks.
You say you're fine, it's like you're biting my head off.
Because you won't let me be fine.
How am I meant to convince you? What do I do? What am I meant to say? You're meant to say that you're not okay.
Pretending that everything's okay is how we got into this mess in the first place.
- What mess? - Less than a day.
- What? - Arguing! Dylan, if it was me, I wouldn't be okay.
When it was me, I wasn't okay.
It wasn't okay.
It was awful.
I feel terrible.
It's good that it's not easy.
Only a psychopath would break up with someone and not care about them and not think about them a minute later.
I feel so guilty.
I feel toxic with it.
And I don't want to feel sad today.
I want to kiss you.
We can.
And we will.
But there is a cost to it.
[SIGHS.]
- Morning.
- So, here we are again.
So it would appear.
Yeah.
It was really nice of you to return that £10 note to me.
Yes, it was just lying there on the carpet.
I couldn't very well hang onto that in good faith.
Yeah, after I dropped it there.
That's right.
That's where you dropped it.
Onto the carpet.
Which you You definitely did do that, but it could happen to anyone, wouldn't you think? I can't approve, but I do like that you were underhand.
And clearly you needed cheering up or you wouldn't have tracked me down with such a half-assed excuse.
The pity fuck.
Yes.
Very generous of you.
[CHUCKLES.]
No, no.
I think there was give and take on both sides.
Now, will you be a gentleman and hunt down my underwear, which I have genuinely dropped onto your carpet? Oh! Um Do you maybe want to hang out for a little bit? No.
Hmm.
Where shall we go tonight? I don't know, man.
Maybe get something to eat? - Why don't we go get curry? - [LAUGHS.]
One day in and you're already risking curry farts? That smacks of confidence.
Dyl, do her feet sweat? - Luke.
- They do get quite warm.
- Morning, all.
- How's the new mattress? - Yeah, very comfortable.
- Holly happy with it? Well, good and bad news on that front.
Um She loves the mattress, but she wants us to take a break.
She's sort of left me.
If I'm honest about it, I do feel amazingly gutted.
Blue, they were the eyes of shame And I would like to stay Take me in Throw down Like you're a fire-breathing fiend Because I need your birth Keep on fighting
Come the leopard and lace The faces that tore me Keep guarding my way What happened to us? Torn from the moment Lost to the sound I can't feel enough To feel the weight of us I can't feel enough [SNORING.]
I can't feel enough This love ain't mine This love ain't mine This love ain't mine Big day.
[SNORING CONTINUES.]
- [SNORTS.]
What? Is it the baby? - No, it's you.
Why? What's wrong with me? You sound like you're about to die.
You keep going [IMITATES SNORING.]
Yeah, I do sometimes snore when I'm tired.
No, I've slept next to snoring, and this is something else.
Maybe it's because of your wriggling.
You don't stop moving.
- Only if I'm awake.
- You wriggled all night.
I've been up all night thanks to your snoring.
Which was because of your wriggling.
The one followed the other.
I'm the chicken.
You're the egg.
- Which came first? Wasn't me.
- Hey.
Look, I think we're just tired.
I might sleep back at my old place tonight.
It's just Well, the mattress here isn't great.
Yes.
This mattress is terrible.
Yeah, it's sagging, but also hard It's all wrong, isn't it? And if you were comfortable at night Well, I'd be asleep and you wouldn't Not even a snuffle out of me! That's the problem here.
This motherfucker has to go.
What are you thinking? I was wondering if you're okay about Abigail.
I think so.
Um I think we should just be in the moment today.
I have this habit I know your habits.
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]
So, could we just not think any further than a cup of tea? I'd love one.
[CHUCKLES.]
[ABIGAIL.]
I'm not saying I'm doing it, I just If I did have to leave the city, can I sublet the flat? Or is there any chance you'd let me out of the contract early? I'd just quite like to know what the options are.
- [SIGHS.]
You're awake, you sly bugger.
- Unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
You're trying to sneak out without so much as a thank you note on the side table.
No, I was just getting up to look for a pen.
Okay, all right, I'll just pop a review on TripAdvisor later on.
- Honestly, the sneak out, though? - Come on.
That is a classic.
Surely you have used that a million times? I personally do not favor it.
It risks insinuating that shame is at work.
- I'm not ashamed.
- Well, me neither.
But the whole very quiet dressing and a tiptoe out routine implies that somebody is trying to avoid something.

Letting the other person get their full eight hours of beauty sleep.
No.
What you do is this Shake the other person awake, gently, of course.
You pay them one solid compliment and then leave.
Jonesy.
Your thighs are smooth and fragrant, but I'm going to leave now because I have a squash lesson.
- A squash lesson? - Yeah.
You can't just wander onto the court with a racket.
- There are techniques to learn.
- Oh, I am sorry, but the lame excuse for leaving is so much worse than the sneaking out.
- Really? - Yeah.
- Are you serious? - Why not? Look, the one-night stand requires darkness, alcohol and an itch that needs scratching.
But now? Stop.
It is light, and I am hungover, and that itch has been well and truly scratched, my sweet, sweet darling.
No.
You're thinking about this all wrong.
Luke, I just need to - Oh! Hello.
What are you doing here? - I had sex with Luke last night.
Oh! Well, how nice.
Sorry, am I intruding? - No.
We're good.
We're all done here.
- But are we? I could come back later if we're undecided? - No.
It's definitely decided.
- [ANGUS.]
Luke, do we have consensus? - [SIGHS.]
What's up, man? - Right, well, Holly's not comfortable on my mattress.
I just wanted to The springs on this bad boy went south a long time ago.
- Wear and tear, baby.
- Curly, could you pass me my pants? Oh.
I think it's Holly's pregnancy.
Her body's not responding well to normal bedding.
Is that something that can happen? Sounds like something that might happen.
Hmm.
Anyway, a new mattress is what's called for.
Right, I'm off.
Luke, very well done for last night, five stars.
But my father just died.
My God, Jonesy, I'm so sorry No, he's not really dead, but I do have a squash lesson to get to.
So, goodbye.
Hey, you know who has a really terrific mattress? Bloody hell.
- Sorry.
- Hi.
Sorry.
It's fine.
It's just Sorry.
Can I just clarify? Have the two of you been having sex? You're good friends, and there's a chance there's a perfectly normal explanation for both of you being naked in bed together.
- No, we've had - Yeah.
We No need to be shy.
We've all been there.
Well, not Luke.
But you and I did.
So is this a Luke and Jonesy sort of thing or something else? - A what? - A sex friends arrangement? - No.
No.
- No.
- Oh - [EVIE CHUCKLES SOFTLY.]
Wow! Bloody hell! Well done! [CHUCKLES.]
Was there something? Yes.
Well remembered.
The mattress.
I want to see if your mattress is any good.
- It's very pleasant.
- May I? [WHOOPS.]
Yes.
Ooh.
That is a very nice bounce.
Can I just take down the details? Okay.
- It's for Holly.
- [LUKE.]
Angus! - [ANGUS.]
In here.
- [LUKE.]
Seriously, I was about one minute off persuading Jonesy to No fucking way! - Way.
- Definitely way.
Oh, my God, are you seeing this? Yes.
Not even a you-and-Jonesy sort of thing.
Sorry, what is a Luke and Jonesy sort of This is huge.
Or is it huge? I mean, you guys together? You love each other? Yeah, that sort of sums it for me.
- [SCREAMS.]
I'm really naked under here.
- Don't you worry about that, poppet.
Angus, get in here, bud.
Ooh! Four of us on the mattress, I still feel very supported by it.
Wow I actually feel very emotional.
- [ANGUS.]
It came as a shock to me, too.
- Guys.
- Do you want some space? - Well You do, don't you? You'd like some space.
You'd like some old-fashioned alone time? - It's fine, you can hang out.
- Can I? Ah! See, there was a little bit of hesitation there.
Was there? Did Angus interrupt you guys having sex? Angus, did you interrupt them having sex? We were drinking tea.
It's fine.
You know what? For now, do your thing.
Come on, we're third and fourth wheeling.
It's fine.
You can stay.
Do you need me to? I love you guys, and I will do that for you.
Were we feeling some sort of awkward silence? Because I will fill that shit with conversation all day long.
Easy.
It's not that we need you to stay.
It's more that you can, if you want to.
Why don't we all just get up? Okay, cool.
Me and Angus will go first.
Yeah! [BOTH CHUCKLE.]
- Does that mean we have to get up now? - I think we've sort of promised to.
Hmm.
Was Luke all right? I thought he went a bit Yeah, that whole "we're third wheels" thing.
Yeah.
Maybe we should just invite him out instead of, like, dating? - We're going to date? - Aren't we? I don't know.
Have we skipped all that? - I probably need to get up anyway.
- Big plans? I need to get my stuff from Abigail's.
I left some things there, and she texted.
Of course, that's fine.
It could probably wait.
More tea? I'll make it.
I am now going to walk across the room, naked, in daylight, and I think it's okay if you look.
Might as well get it over with.
[LAUGHS.]
Same day delivery? That's wonderful.
Yes, I will pay the extra £20.
One thousand hand-stitched pocket springs.
- Is it really expensive? - No, it's fine.
You, my love, are gonna sleep like a dead woman.
Yeah, it's one, two, six, eight, nine Hey.
So, um, nothing's going to change.
We just wanted you to know that.
And we should all go out tomorrow.
Together.
Sounds great.
So, it's so weird, man.
A week ago, I was telling Abigail that I love her, and I thought I did, but now I don't, and I'm with Evie.
It's not weird, dude.
It's Dylan 101.
I mean, it's classic edition Dylan.
- No.
No, it's - It's essence de Dylan.
- Just don't fuck it up.
- We won't.
She won't.
But you might.
What? Why me? - Come on.
- Come on what? I've seen you fall in love a dozen times.
Maybe more.
I've never seen you in a relationship longer than four months.
That's what I'm saying.
This time it matters.
- If you mess this up - Or if she does It'll break the three of us apart.
There's no getting around it.
Whether we like it or not, we are a love triangle with me a non-sexual participant.
Listen, I can handle a couple plus moi.
But moi plus two people who won't talk to each other Fuck.
And that is all on your shoulders now, Dylan.
Hence don't fuck it up.
This is meant to be our honeymoon period.
Then what are you doing in here? Go back to bed! - I came here to reassure you.
- Consider me reassured.
Now I'm completely thrown.
You're not having second thoughts already? No! I just want it all to be simple! I mean, you know, at least for a week.
Don't we at least get that? You know what, forget what I said, okay? You guys are going to be great.
I'm genuinely happy for you.
If one of my friends finds happiness, it's a great day.
My two best friends finding it on the same day? Break out the champagne.
Just don't fuck it up.
Look, the most exciting thing is it ushers in an era of double-dating.
Dates are often the two of you trying to think of things you might possibly have in common, and now I'll have two proper friends there, and it'll still count as a date.
So everyone wins.
We can even walk home together.
The only thing I'll have to do on my own is the sex.
[GROANS.]
That is one hell of a mattress.
Come and have a bounce.
Sorry, I really should have That's okay.
There's no rush.
[CHUCKLES.]
- Did you check the bathroom? - Yeah, yeah.
This is probably it.
If I find anything else Yeah, don't worry about it.
- I'll just send it on.
- Whatever's easiest.
- It's like some Cold War exchange.
- [LAUGHS.]
Meet at the border, swap assets and then - Thank you.
And - Don't.
I was just gonna ask if you're okay.
I know you were.
I'll be fine.
Got socks, pants, couple of T-shirts, slightly soiled.
You are good to go, my friend.
Are you with her? I know it's not my place to ask, but I just wondered.
You can see why I would.
You don't have to say.
Yeah, I think we're gonna be together.
That's good.
I'm really I'm [EVIE.]
You don't think he'll change his mind? I think, um, he'll have a wobble at some point in his late 80s and only for an afternoon.
And then you'll die in each other's arms two weeks later.
Yeah.
End-stage chlamydia, never fully cured.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
But he has been gone quite a long time.
Did he pack a bag before he left? Did he express a desire to run away with the circus? - Mm-hmm.
- One last quick shag with Abigail? - Hey, that's close to the bone.
- Sorry.
No, I think you'll be fine.
It all just all looks so uphill.
There's this idea of where I'm meant to end up.
And I don't even necessarily know if I want children, but somehow there's still this picture in my head and it's a cottage with a dozen kids running around, and I'm fatter and contented with books published.
And I'm loved.
And then on days like today, it just feels exhausting, the prospect of slogging my way there, from here.
[SIGHS.]
Sorry.
No, I do I understand some of that.
I felt that way for a long time.
But not today.
I don't know how I feel today.
[CELL PHONE VIBRATING.]
You should get that.
[SIGHS.]
She'll be wondering where you are.
- No, it's - Trust me, you should get it.
Anyway, you can go.
I can stay.
I don't want you to.
I'd like us to be friends.
When you feel like If that's something that you want.
We live in the same city, and you're really great.
All right.
Breaking down Your days getting longer There's a yellow glass dragon Who's chasing you around Sit your head on a silver jet stream While the smoke is rising over Your thoughts and your dreams Okay.
Off you go.
You get up Get up, you get up You get up - [ANGUS.]
Well? - [HOLLY.]
Yeah.
Really comfy.
Very supportive.
Do you want to put it through its paces? No, we don't have to.
Um Maybe just a smattering of oral and see where we end up? Or just a bloody good night's sleep.
At last.
I'm not sure it's the mattress.
No, it is.
It definitely is.
Poor sleep wreaks havoc on your cortisol levels.
- It turns people into monsters.
- But I worry that Have a night's sleep.
Just sleep it all off.
You think that's the reason why we've been bickering? I'm sure of it.
And I'm sorry I put you through a bad mattress for so long.
I'm an idiot.
I love you.
Just shut your eyes and go to sleep.
Okay.
Yeah.
Go on.
Go off to sleep.
I'm gonna watch you do it.
Just drift off.
Get yourself ten wonderful hours of undisturbed rest.
Healing, soothing rest, all taking place on a mattress made of 1,000 hand-stitched pocket springs.
- Angus! - All right.
[LUKE.]
Yeah, I'm in town anyway, so it's really no trouble.
Which bar are you in? Yeah, I know it.
I know it well.
[CHUCKLES.]
Seriously, this bar that I'm currently in is really quiet anyway, so I'll come and find you.
Happy to.
Hi, stranger.
Hi.
Sorry that took - Was it okay? - Yeah.
Obviously not easy, but fine.
Are you coming to bed? Definitely.
Let me just, um - Are you sure everything's all right? - Of course.
You're just acting a bit What? I don't know.
Was everything all right? What are you asking? Nothing.
I'm just asking if you're okay.
I've answered that question twice in the last minute.
Yeah, and each time your answer is total bollocks.
You say you're fine, it's like you're biting my head off.
Because you won't let me be fine.
How am I meant to convince you? What do I do? What am I meant to say? You're meant to say that you're not okay.
Pretending that everything's okay is how we got into this mess in the first place.
- What mess? - Less than a day.
- What? - Arguing! Dylan, if it was me, I wouldn't be okay.
When it was me, I wasn't okay.
It wasn't okay.
It was awful.
I feel terrible.
It's good that it's not easy.
Only a psychopath would break up with someone and not care about them and not think about them a minute later.
I feel so guilty.
I feel toxic with it.
And I don't want to feel sad today.
I want to kiss you.
We can.
And we will.
But there is a cost to it.
[SIGHS.]
- Morning.
- So, here we are again.
So it would appear.
Yeah.
It was really nice of you to return that £10 note to me.
Yes, it was just lying there on the carpet.
I couldn't very well hang onto that in good faith.
Yeah, after I dropped it there.
That's right.
That's where you dropped it.
Onto the carpet.
Which you You definitely did do that, but it could happen to anyone, wouldn't you think? I can't approve, but I do like that you were underhand.
And clearly you needed cheering up or you wouldn't have tracked me down with such a half-assed excuse.
The pity fuck.
Yes.
Very generous of you.
[CHUCKLES.]
No, no.
I think there was give and take on both sides.
Now, will you be a gentleman and hunt down my underwear, which I have genuinely dropped onto your carpet? Oh! Um Do you maybe want to hang out for a little bit? No.
Hmm.
Where shall we go tonight? I don't know, man.
Maybe get something to eat? - Why don't we go get curry? - [LAUGHS.]
One day in and you're already risking curry farts? That smacks of confidence.
Dyl, do her feet sweat? - Luke.
- They do get quite warm.
- Morning, all.
- How's the new mattress? - Yeah, very comfortable.
- Holly happy with it? Well, good and bad news on that front.
Um She loves the mattress, but she wants us to take a break.
She's sort of left me.
If I'm honest about it, I do feel amazingly gutted.
Blue, they were the eyes of shame And I would like to stay Take me in Throw down Like you're a fire-breathing fiend Because I need your birth Keep on fighting
