Anyway, hurry up Karen RINGING SOUND .
.
Boom boom into my heart You send my soul sky-high when your loving starts Jitterbug into my brain Goes bang, bang, bang till my feet do the same Come on, let's go.
How much did you have to drink last night? I know you think I'm nagging, but I wish you'd start thinking about the future a bit more.
The future?! I'm not ready to settle down and start dropping kids yet.
I'm talking about taking a bit of responsibility.
Life's not just one long party, you know.
It's time you thought about getting a proper job.
I have.
That's why I've applied for that office work down the cop shop.
What? More like you fancy dating a man in uniform.
What's that on your hand?! It's a mate's number.
0701 what area's that? I don't know.
You don't know where your mate lives? RINGING SOUND You look like you've seen a ghostthe face on you.
Are you all right? I just need to wake up a bit, that's all.
You want to get to bed at a decent hour.
Oh, I'm sorry, sorry! Karen, it's Jimmi What did you say? You what? You said something I heard you.
Who's Jimmi? I've no idea, darling.
Karen Karen, stop gawping.
That postman Don't tell me, he looks like someone famous.
He's not our usual one So? I can't believe you've never heard of 'em.
They've been number one for, like, weeks Well, they shouldn't have such a daft name.
It doesn't even make sense, Frankie Goes To Hollywood what's that supposed to mean? Forget it.
Why can't they have a proper name, like The Animals, or The Beatles? Hey, they're for the customers.
Make sure you put some money in the till Yeah, yeah.
When you've finished stuffing your face, perhaps you can make a start on the sandwiches PHONE RINGS I'll get that, shall I(?) Hello, Mill Cafe.
Yeah, she's here Well, she's supposed to be working not chatting on the blower Who is it? All right, but two minutes.
Is it Maggie? Who else would it be? Wants to know if you're going out tonight.
Hiya, Maggie.
Where you thinking? Hello? Maggie? ROB: Can you hear me, Karen? Karen, can you hear me? Who's that? Hello?! Can you hear me? Yeah, I can.
What do you want? Hello hello? What's the matter? I thought you said it was Maggie.
That was some old bloke.
Bloke?! It was definitely Maggie who I spoke to on the phone.
Maybe it was a crossed line.
More like she was playing silly beggars.
I don't think so.
She's got too much time on her hands, that one.
She needs to find herself a proper job, instead of wasting people's time.
I'll give her a ring.
No, you can't.
Morning.
We need to get cracking! Morning, Arthur.
Will you put your eyes in?! He's the dead spit of Simon Le Bon.
Not again.
Don't you think about anything else but boys? Yeah, music.
SHE LAUGHS I'll do their order.
MUSIC: "Enola Gay" by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark Enola Gay, his mother proud of her little boy today, A-ha You trying to scare away the customers?! I'm telling you, she'll ruin this country.
She doesn't give a damn about the poor or the young.
"Thatcher the milk-snatcher!" She wants locking up! He's off again.
But she's bitten off more than she can chew with the miners.
She's no chance of winning.
Here we go Hey, watch what you're doing! Karen! Talk about butterfingers.
Sorry, I'll go and get a cloth.
What's the matter? Did Arthur say something? I don't know.
He's harmless - just likes the sound of his own voice.
I think it was the way he looked at me.
You don't mean No.
It was morescary.
What, Arthur?! I can't explain it.
Maybe it wasn't that It'sever since last night I've been feeling really weird and spacey.
Spacey? You haven't been taking any of those those new dance drugs, have you? Of course I haven't.
I had a nightmare and I can't stop thinking about it.
It's not like you to get so bothered.
It was a dream, love.
I know, but but when I woke up I was dizzy and my head was hurting.
My ear Don't tell me, Maggie's been piercing your ears again.
Why you need to look like a pin cushion, I really don't know.
Two earrings were enough for me It's not the lobe! it's inside! Well, let's have a look.
It's very red.
Quite swollen.
It's really hot in here, I need some fresh air.
It's probably an infection.
Listen, there's an open surgery at the doctors this morning.
I'm not that bad.
If it's infected, you'll need antibiotics.
I think you should get off and get it sorted.
OK! Shall I shut up the caf' and come with you? Stop fussing, I'll be fine.
I'll be there in five, anyway.
You sure? Yeah, I'm a big girl now.
See you later.
Oh, and listen, Karen, I want you to stop in tonight.
No going out with Maggie.
What's that got to do with anything?! That's why you're ill - you're running yourself down.
You're only saying that because you don't like Maggie! Don't talk such rubbish! Anyway, if I'm feeling better, I'm going out.
You can't stop me.
Karen, it's not up for discussion.
You're stopping in and that's final.
Will you stop treating me like a child?! You're always on my case I can't stand it! Will you stop shouting at me, blabbermouth? I don't want to be shouted at in the street.
Argh! I cannot wait till I get my own place! Is that right(?) Yeah, and then I won't have to listen to you going on and on all the time.
It's probably why I've got earache! Where are you going to live - cloud cuckoo land(?) Anywhere, as long as it's not with you! Karen, now you're being silly.
.
Karen Talking away, I don't know what I'm to say I'll say it anyway Today isn't my day to find you Watch out! Blimey! Take on me Take on me Take me on Take on me I'll be gone RINGING SOUND I think she's waking up.

Probably nothing wrong with me.
I don't know where to start.
I've got this constant ringing in my headlike I've had an accident.
But I haven't Mm And, well, this is going to sound daft but and it's probably nothing at all, not connected, but I've also got this weird feeling of deja vu all the time.
Like I'm stuck in a time warp Silly.
Am I making any sense? Doctor? PHONE RINGS Hi, Karen, how are you? You're a doctor.
Yes, that's right.
From the surgery.
I'd wait a while in case there's another outburst.
It's really good to see you awake.
Everyone's been so worried about you.
The nurse said I'd been in an accident.
That's right.
You've sustained a head injury and you've been unconscious for two days.
Two days? But don't worry, you're on the mend.
And, hopefully, you'll be home before you know it.
I really want to see my mum.
Your mum? When is she coming? I'm just going to have a quick word with the nurse.
You were saying? Karen? Sorry I was miles away.
No worries.
I just thought you'd fallen asleep on me for a moment.
I was expecting to see my regular doctor Well, I hope I'm not too much of a disappointment.
Hardly SHE LAUGHS Have you treated me before? No, I don't think so.
But I've definitely seen you before.
I recognise your smile.
Well, maybe I've got a double.
You're the dead spit of Dr what's-his-face Who? Off Angelsoff the telly.
.
Ah! I really loved it.
I wish it was still on, it was my favourite.

Thanks.
I just can't believe she can't remember that her mum's died.
After a bleed like that to the brain, she's bound to be unpredictable.
She's totally forgotten it.
Temporary amnesia is not uncommon.
It's still very early days, mate.
Yeah.
So everyone keeps saying.
About those numbers I don't know.

SHE SOBS Mum! Heywhat's going on? Are you OK? I'm so sorry for what I said earlier.

I know you didn't.
I don't want to leave.
I want to stay with you.
I want to stay with you for ever.
For ever, ever, ever, ever.
SHE SOBS Mummy SHE SOBS And what year is it? 1984.
We're not all Neanderthals, you know.
Who is the lucky man? This is what you get from wearing for a wedding ring for so long.
You get back in that ring, you're not going to get revenge.
You're going to get another beating.
To living your life!
