Lesley, will you help us?
Will you help save our wedding?
Mum, I'd love to help, but I can't.
Me and Carol, we-we've got plans.
We've got important plans.
- We're going away together.
- But we've got guests on their way.
One of my friends is coming
all the way from Greece.
And it's a pink full moon,
which means fresh start.
We can't miss that. We'd have
to wait another whole year.
- We can't, can we, Glen?
- No, Paloma, love.
I can't I can't plan a wedding
in t-two days.
She's unbelievable!
I think it's nice.
She's come all
this way to ask you for your help.
But but, S-Sugar,
s-she's not even invited me
to the f-f-fucking wedding.
And my s-s-s-s-stammer
gets worse when she's around.
- I'm not I'm not doing it.
- If she's come to you for help,
your Mum, I worry that you'll regret
not helping her, if you don't-
But she only fucking comes
when she fucking wants summat.
Mums and dads are shit.
- What's the deal with Paloma?
- Cardi was only six
when his dad died, right?
Then it's just Paloma and Cardi
on their own.
Then she's fucked off when he was 17.
What? She just fucked off?
Yeah. Said she was going
on a cruise with some fella
but she never came back.
- Aw, poor Cardi.
- Mm.
Cardi, we can always go away
on another weekend, like.
- You didn't even like her, Carol.
- No, she's a wanker.
And a fucking wedding, as well.
We'll help you. Fucking we'll help

Thank you, Carol. My marriage.

What the fuck? Mum!
(CRYING CONTINUES) - Liz!
- What the fuck are you doing?!
(MUSIC OFF)
Oh! Hi, babe. How was it?
Can you not hear him?
- Sunny's crying!
- Oh, yeah, I'm sleep-training him.
All the books say just let 'em cry.
I used to leave you down the end
of the garden, shut the door,
big G&T, dance around to Bananarama.
One night, went to bed,
forgot all about you.
Well, I say bed.
Passed out on the couch.
Woke up about 2:00,
realised what had happened.
- You were fine.
- I'm lucky to be alive!
Yeah, you are!
Gratitude.
OK, so you two,
Ash and JJ, you're on cake.
Sugar and Meena, you're on Mum's
wedding dress.
And a suit for Glen.
Can I have you up on your feet, please?
I'm gonna give you
a good saging for focus.
Carol, can you do the decorations?
Me and Mum'll check out the venue.
Could you not just get married
at the Crow's Nest?
I'm not getting married in a pub.
It's bad karma.
What sort of decorations
are we talking, like?
Oh, scented candles.
Something, um calming.
Sandalwood, cedar.
Love and light.
It's a bit more fags and despair
around here, isn't it?
Oh, Carol.
That is a very bad energy.
Mum, can we stop reading Carol's
energy, please?(SNIFFS)
I'm gonna find a dog,
take it for a long walk.
Right, Vin,
you're on the refreshments, OK?

It's Keith. It's your husband!
(PANICKED GASP)
- This is where you want me to get married?
- It's beautiful.
- A tourist hotspot.
- A muddy field next to a septic tank?
You're the one who didn't want
to get married in a church.
I can do a very reasonable price.
It is all that were av-v-v-vailable

Paloma, a couple of options.
What do you think?
(CHUCKLES SARCASTICALLY)
It's all we could find
at the charity shop.
And, look, we've got Glen a really
nice little suit.
- Lesley.
- Yep.
- Have you seen these?
- ASH: Hello!
OK, so, listen, we didn't manage to get
a proper wedding cake, I'm sorry.
But
We did find this. A big blue bake.
It's got a Spitfire on top of it.
SUGAR: Why's it got 90 on it?
Let's just say I knew a man
who knew a man whose dad
died this morning.
Right, we'll m-m-make it work.
How about the decorations?
- W-Where's Carol?
- I need my decorations, Lesley.
- Have you seen her, Sugar?
- Not since this morning, no.
(BEEPING) AUTOMATED VOICE: Sorry, the
person you're calling is unavailable.
- Shit. Her phone's off.
- Perhaps she's been kidnapped.
So, what the fuck happened?
- What do you mean?
- What do I mean?!
I've come all the way from Greece.
I haven't seen you for ten years, Carol.
The last time I saw you,
you were throwing up in a fishbowl
by the side of our bed.
- Then - poof! - now you're here.
- I am so sorry, Keith.
Do you know how worried I was
when you vanished?
Look,
to be truthful with you now, Keith,
I woke up the morning after
and I said to myself,
"We've made a fucking terrible
mistake" and, you know, like,
- I just couldn't face it.
- So, you just left?
Bam. No note. No explanation.
No, I tried writing.
What happened, you run out of ink(?)
No, I couldn't remember your address,
so I just sent it to Keith in Paxos.
We weren't even in Paxos! It was Naxos!
Oh, fuck, I was drunk.
Keith, I'm so sorry.
I just didn't know what to say.
The truth, Carol.
The truth is what you say.
"I'm sorry, I've made a mistake.
I didn't wanna marry you.
I've gone back home."
See, when I got back here,
it seemed so far away.
Then I thought, "He'll probably
end up annulling the wedding anyway."
- Keith, we barely knew each other.
- Carol, I thought you were dead.
I held a fucking vigil for you.
150 people came.
They closed the banana boat
out of respect.
The taverna had a wake for you.
They spelt your name out in feta!
Oh, I feel fucking terrible.
I'm fucking ashamed of myself.
Oh, I don't believe this.
I'd finally got to a place of peace.
Now it's like I'm right back there.
How did you track me down?
I didn't track you down.
I'm just here for my friend
Glen's wedding.
You know Glen?
I taught him
how to water ski a year ago.
For fuck's sake.
Wait, how do you know Glen?
Are you going to this wedding?
It's cancelled.
The wedding's been cancelled.
- What?
- It's just happened.
I don't really know what happened.
They got robbed of everything,
that's what it was.
You're better off knocking into
Hawley and calling Glen,
anything like that
And it's been called off. The wife,
Paloma, she's after cancelling it.
She's a fucking nasty bitch.
Awful fucking energy.
- I'm gonna call him.
- No, no, don't
Don't do that, don't call.
I don't believe you.
I'm gonna call him.
- No, no. You can't phone him.
- What the fuck?!
I can't let you go to that wedding!
- Are you out of your fucking mind?
- No, I'm not out of my mind.
You cannot go to that wedding!
I thought it had been cancelled.
No.
Why are you wearing a wedding ring?
Why are you wearing
a wedding ring, Carol?
Did you get married again
while you're still married to me?
For fuck's sake. Who is he?
You tell me who he is now!
- It doesn't matter!
- Look, just tell me.
You owe me that,
after all these lies, all this time.
Well, is it just us two,
or is there a third?
A harem of men you've left
heartbroken across the globe,

His name's Cardi,

and he is going to the wedding.
Keith, I am begging you now.
I know that I have wronged you,
I know I have,
but please, please,
don't go to the wedding because
..because he loves me very much.
And I love him too.
Please.
(DOOR OPENS)
Dude! What are you fucking
belling me up every five seconds for
when you know I'm coming down anyway?
- Thanks, man. I'm glad to see you, Vinnie.
- Alright.
Oh, my God, I'm in a real crisis.
Listen, get a fucking wriggle on
cos I've got Cardi's mum
wanting refreshments here.
- Paloma's back?
- Yes.
God, I haven't seen
that smoke show for years.
Get a fucking wriggle on
with whatever this is

- Yeah.
And her name's Ella.
- Oh, for God's
- No, but she's not like
anyone else. She's
She's got a fucking PhD in economics.
She's got a first from Oxford.
And all she cares a shit about
is my Mr Timber.
- Oh, no(!)
- The woman's insatiable.
She's got me on call 24/7.
She wants it on the floor,
on the table,
against the window,
through the fucking window.
Mm.
The trouble is, I'm getting
feelings for her, you know.
Mm.
I look at her and I just think
(SIGHS)
..all I wanna do is stroke her hair
and cook her an egg.
- You just wanna cook her an egg.
- What if that's all I am to her?
I wanna be appreciated for more
than just my dick, right?
What if we're not shagging,
she's not interested in me?
Maybe that's all she wants from me.
You know "I shag, therefore I am."
How the fuck can I help you out here?
Well, because you're always banging
on about feelings, aren't you,
- and how it stops your dick working?
- Hurtful.
(PHONE PINGS)
Jesus.
Oh, fuck, another nude pic. Look.
- Dude, she's

- She wants to see it.

- Good idea.
- Fucking whatever.
- Keep it simple.
Can we just go for dinner tonight

Give her a minute! She's probably
putting her tits away, in't she?
- She's gone offline!
- Calm down,
you fucking lunatic. Listen
I think we better just
recalibrate a little bit.
(BEEPING TONE)
Fuck! Still nothing!
Couldn't see her car anywhere,
but Liz saw her driving this morning.
I did, proper fast. But I just thought,
- "Well, that's Carol."
- Should we call the police?
They won't do anything, unless it's
been 24 four hours or more.
Right. Let's spread out and
search Hawley. Check the roads,
we need to check
the travellers' site, Jim's farm.
- I'll text Vinnie.
- Yeah, text Vinnie.
I'll wait here and ring
if she gets back.
Right.
- But what about the wedding?
- Mum?
Right, come on.
Still nothing.
I should never have texted that.
I should've sent her the dick pic,
gone round later,
up against the wall and
I could've stroked her hair
while she was sleeping.
This is why I don't do it. You're
hurt now and she's disappointed
cos she hasn't seen your fucking
horrible todger.
(PHONE PINGS)
Fucking hell, here we go. Hang on.
"We can eat after we've shagged."
- Look.
- Oh, yeah.
"After we've shagged".
- Really happy for you.
- Oh, my God,
she can see the man behind the cock.
Yeah, dude,
I'm chuffed to bits for you.
- I'll send a picture now. A cock pic.
- It doesn't have to be right now.
- Fuck's sake.
- We've sorted that out.
(PHONE PINGS)
Who's this now?
Oh, shit.
- Where are you going?
- Fucking Carol's gone missing.
Honestly, dude, you disgust me.

She hasn't walked past.

Impossible.
We've been playing since Monday.

Have you asked anyone?

- For fuck's sake.
- Oh, Lesley.
- (GROANS)
Come on.
Come on. I'm sorry.
It's important. She's my wife!
Well, of course it is,
but I just feel it in my bones
- that she's gonna be alright.
- It's all about you, isn't it?
I don't know why you're so desperate
to get married tomorrow anyway.
- Because a pink moon symbolises
- Symbolises fuck all, Mum.
Fuck all.
Forgive me for being a lover,
Lesley, and finding THE ONE.
He's not the one though, is he?
He's not even number two.
He's number f-f-f-fucking four.
He may well be my fourth husband,
but am I a criminal
for untangling myself
from situations
that offer me absolutely nothing?
Maybe you should take your own advice
and t-try harder
at making them work then.
Then you wouldn't be fannying about
trying to get married
under some s-s-special f-fucking moon.
(SIGHS)
I know what this is.
Are you jealous of Glen?
That's what this is, isn't it?
Because, you know, it is very common
to have feelings of sexual longing
towards your mother.
Is it?
Because, after all,
mine was the first vaginal canal
- you'd ever been inside.
- Get in.
Has he even been on a paddle board?
Oh, I think he's more
of a land animal himself.
Is he any good at water sports?
That's a bit personal now, isn't it?
I'm just trying to understand
why you replaced me, Carol.
How long have you been married to him?
Four years.
- And you're happy?
- Oh, not all the time now,
but I guess that's what I guess
that's what real happiness is.
You don't You don't always
realise that it's there, you know.
Yeah.

Driving to Hawley.
It can't be that hard to get back.
I need a fucking drink!
No, don't do this, Keith. Please don't!
I haven't done anything, Carol.
Because of you,
I haven't done anything
with my entire fucking life.
While you've been falling in love
with some bloke
who wouldn't know a kayak
from a fucking canoe!
I don't think a lot of people
know the difference
- between a kayak and a canoe.
- You're missing the point.
You know there was another woman?
Maria.
She ran the cave tours Monday
to Thursday. Had hair like linguine.
She wanted me, and still, I did
nothing cos I was waiting for you.
- I'm so sorry, Keith.
- Never took that holiday to France,
- in case you came back to the island.
- Yeah.
- Never learnt pottery.
- Yeah.
Never told my dad that I loved him.
I don't think you can
put that on me now.
How do you know, Carol?! You're not
inside my head!
Ah, now, Keith, I know you're angry
and you've every right to be,
but, Jesus, you can't just waltz
in here and blow up me life, like.
What if you didn't go to the wedding?
What if I give you money?
I won't scamper away from my friend
on his wedding day,
like you did to me.
And I'm telling Cardi.
Oh, no, no, no.
I can't let you do that, Keith!

Don't think you're meant to do

Oh, you're alright.
I'll display the safety warning.
Go on then. What's happened?
My wife. (SNIFFS)
I haven't seen her for ten years.
I thought I'd never see her again
actually, and then today bam.
She's back. I don't even live here.
And, yeah, I was hopeful
..just for a second.
- Mm.
- I thought that it would mean
maybe we would be together.
Meant that she'd missed me
after all these years.
Turns out she hasn't missed me at all.
And her life was better off
without you in it.
Exactly.
Maybe you should just go home.
Yeah, but, well, she married someone
else, he doesn't know about me.
He needs to know the truth, right?
Oh, I've never been a fan of truth, me.
She lied though, to both of us.
Truth's only good
if you can do something with it.
It's wrong, what she did.
You don't need a lift anywhere,
do you? I'm heading back to Hawley.
Yeah, that would be great, actually.
I was looking for my son's wife, but
this is the last pub on my list and
she's clearly not here.

- Carol, I don't wanna hear it.
I should've stood up for you
with my mum.
She's not changed at all,
she can fuck her wedding.
- Carol.
- Greek Keith?!
Oh, hiya, mate.
Congratulations and all that.
- Far out, man. How was your flight?
- Look, not now.
Look, Carol. You don't have to do this.
Course she does.
You said the truth is only useful
if you can do something with it.
What can he do with it?
Do with what? What truth?
Keith told me everything.
Carol's already married -
and she has been the whole time -
to Greek Keith.
Yeah, they got married ten years ago
and then she upped and left him.
What's she on about, Carol?
Carol?
I wanted to tell you, I did.
It happened over a weekend of
a fucking an ouzo-soaked holiday, like.
I mean, I don't even remember, it's
all a blur, like. It meant nothing.
If it meant nothing,
why keep it a secret?
Cos I got scared, didn't I, Keith?
She said she just couldn't face it.
So you just stayed married to him?
I am so, so sorry.
- W-W-Why didn't you tell me?
- Tell me what, love?
Sorry I got stuck with Davey there.
What's going What's going on?
Cardi, I know.
I know, I should have told you
first thing this morning,
when I seen Keith.
This morning?
No, Carol, y-y-y-you should have
told me w-w-when we got m-m-married!
Either time.
I was gonna tell you, like, but
It just that, y'know, I buried it
because the longer it went on,
the harder it got and then I just
- I got caught up in the whole lie of it.
- What lie?
Where you told me I were the love
of your life, where we took vows?
But you are the love of my life.
Is this why you're always acting
like I'm not good enough?
Hey, come on. We'll go outside.
This has nothing to do with you
not being good enough.
- You are good enough!
- Lesley
I just didn't know what to do.
But you always know what to do, Carol.
You're always bossing me about,
telling me what to say,
what to wear, how to eat.
How could you not know
what to fucking do?
- Lesley.
- My name isn't Lesley!
Alright? It's Cardi!
And what?
W-What do you have to say, Mum?
I I just think
you're being a bit harsh.
A bit harsh?
You're the one who's
dobbed her in, in the first place.
I thought he had a right to know.
Since when have you thought
I had a right to know anything?
You've never explained
anything to me, ever!
- Well, that's not true.
- Yes, it fucking is.
You've never told me anything.
And now you want me
to know about Carol,
so you can act like you care about me.
Of course I care.
Where the fuck have you been then?!
You weren't here when Nigel died.
You weren't here when we got married.
I know for a fact you had something
to do with Weasel dying
when I was six, and you were
b-barely there when my
..d-dad died!
So don't don't just come in now
and blow up my life
and then try and tell me
what to do with the pieces.
All that stuff's in the past.
The past fucking matters!
It matters to me!
It's my life!
All of it!
You left because
you didn't fucking like me.
Just be honest.
Both of you.
Cardi, come outside with me
for a little bit.
No, man, I don't wanna go outside.
Do you know what, I'm going outside.
It's not that you fucked up, Carol.
It's just that you made me believe
for the only time in my entire life
that I was someone's first choice.
And it's just a fucking lie.
(SOMBRE MUSIC)
Hiya.
I don't wanna talk about it.
OK.
That's fine by me.
- Oh, for fuck's sake, Mum!
- It's for the bad energy.
I've just found out my wife is
m-m-married to someone else.
I'm a I'm allowed
a bit of bad fucking energy.
(SIGHS) I'm not talking about yours.
I'm talking about his.
Well, this is Dad's spot, not yours.
Cardi, I didn't leave
because I didn't like you.
I left because I was ashamed.
You didn't have that stutter
before your dad died.
You didn't struggle.
Not when he was around.
But after he'd gone, you got it.
And there was nothing
I could do to help you.
And I just got so angry
..that your dad always could help you.
And none of the books tell you
that it is alright
to feel jealous that your husband
got to die perfect
and you have to live on
and fuck it up
..over and over again.
- And by the time you were 17, I
- You just left?
I did.
Got my reasons.
I was frightened.
I was sick of the effort of it all.
So I left for a bit.
And when I came back you had
..you had all these friends.
You had Vinnie,
you had Ashley, you had JJ.
And it was like, you just
- didn't need me any more.
- I did need you.
If I could go back in time and stay
..I would.
I wouldn't leave you.
I'd see it through.
I didn't.
And nothing I can say can fix it.
JIM: One bomb or two?
- Spitfires didn't have bombs.
- I KNOW that.
It's called suspension of disbelief,
you shithead. It's art.
Sugar.
What now?
(EXHALES HEAVILY)
I just wanna say I'm sorry.
It won't happen again, I promise.
I have changed, you know. I'm I'm
I'm drinking, like, 30% less than
I was when you was a kid and
- (SCOFFS)
- I'm a teetotaller
like, every other Sunday.
I just wanna be a better mum,
you know, like
like the mum you're becoming.
(PENSIVE MUSIC)
Oh, well thanks.
I appreciate that.
(SOFTLY) Have a word.
Look, I want you to know
I'm gonna file for a divorce.
To be honest, I should've done it
years ago, when she left.
It was never a marriage
between me and Carol.
But you two
Look, I can tell it's the real deal.
So, I hope it works out for you,
I really do.
Thanks.
Right, well, best be off.
I'm parasailing tomorrow afternoon
in Santorini.
The clearest waters you'll ever see.
To be honest, mate, I'm not
really into w-w-water sports.
That's a bit personal.
Are you in love with me, Carol?
I don't know if you are.
I think you love me
like you love trifle
..or that that film wit' kids in it.
- ET.
- Sound of Music. And
I want someone
I deserve someone
who is IN love with me
..who wants me as I am
..even if it means putting up
with all my little
..foibles and faults, you know?
So, what are you saying, like?
I don't know.
I don't know.
