(SWITCH CLICKS)

GEMMA: Sorry.

You carry on, I'm just gonna

go watch TV or something.

- -RAY: Don't be stupid. -KIERAN: What are

- you talking about?

Just because I feel weird

shouldn't stop you

-(GEMMA SIGHS) -RAY: Gem, no.

- -We're not going to have sex without you, Gemma.

- -RAY: Shh.

Danny's asleep.

- Yeah, but just with your night

shifts and my hours, - ours,

Ray flying around the world,

I mean, we should just

have sex when we can.

That's unhelpful pressure.

- Well, it's pressure on me if you

can't have sex - without me there.

KIERAN: We can.

We do.

GEMMA: Good.

Is that okay?

Yeah. You don't need my permission.

When? Don't worry.

RAY: Do you want us to tell you

-every time we -GEMMA: No. No.

I don't know.

You guys do. Right?

Without me.

-Yes. -GEMMA: Yeah.

All the time.

Okay.

Okay.

It's okay to feel jealous or insecure.

- GEMMA: I don't. I didn't.

- RAY: We all do sometimes.

I feel jealous.

Me too.

You do?

-All the time. -Of course.

(SIGHS) But it's horrible.

RAY: Who do you feel more jealous of?

Kieran or me?

-GEMMA: Not funny. -(RAY CHUCKLES)

-KIERAN: It's me, isn't it? -GEMMA: Yes.

KIERAN: Mm. (CHUCKLES)

(SIREN BLARING)

- RAY: I am really proud of you.

- WOMAN: Thank you.

-(ALL SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY) -MAN: Bye-bye.

Hate to say this but your new team

isn't a patch on your old one.

- They're nervous. They have a performance

- on Friday.

They have matching costumes and hats and

I didn't think you would ever see me again.

I wanted to call you a thousand times.

What I did,

what I said to you.

I'm so sorry.

And I was a shitty friend.

You needed me and I ignored you.

I, I took you for granted.

I know I really hurt you

and if there's something

I can do to make it up

(RAY GASPS)

(RAY COUGHING)

I wasn't planning on doing that.

Obviously, I'm still pretty angry.

No, it's

totally understandable.

Here

-(MOIRA YELPS) -(RAY LAUGHS)

(MOIRA GASPS)

- You crazy b*tch! I don't have

- any other spare clothes!

(CHUCKLES) Neither do I.

MOIRA: This doesn't mean I forgive you.

(RAY CHUCKLES)

(PEOPLE SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)

(BLOW DRYER RUNNING)

What about the future?

I wanted to be your maid of honour one day.

See you in a white dress.

Watch our kids grow up together.

It makes me sad to think

we won't get to do that.

We might have kids.

We haven't talked about it yet but

What, be like an au pair they don't pay?

No.

Gemma can't have children, so

Oh.

Huh. So,

you'd have them with her husband?

That's not at all the exact plot

of The Handmaids Tale.

(LAUGHS)

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

(RAY CONTINUES LAUGHING)

We're buying Gemma's Cafe.

Together.

Using my inheritance for the deposit.

- -And it was my idea before you start

- -Wow. That's

Commitment.

Yes, it is.

-RAY: What? -Nothing.

I got you a present.

I was gonna send it on your birthday but

I wasn't ready to stop hating you.

(UNWRAPS GIFT)

It took ages to track down.

It's a Croatian advert.

For mouthwash.

(RAY LAUGHS)

I know it was kind of a

traumatic day for you but

RAY: This is err

a really weird gift, Moi.

Thank you.

I don't know how to be.

I want to be your champion.

I want to be the one cheering you on.

But if this all goes

horribly, painfully wrong

- -for reasons that are unpredictable.

- -It's not going to.

- -And I didn't say anything that

- -Moi.

I know it seems crazy from the outside,

it seems crazy from the inside. But,

I really do think that

- I'm the luckiest person alive.

- And that's wonderful.

But promise me something

If things change,

if you ever get a sign that says

bail, just bail.

What you're doing is really brave.

But it's just as brave to walk away.

RAY: Hmm.

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

(INDISTINCT DIALOGUE)

- Sorry, guys. I think you're a bit late

- to save this one.

(BAG THUDS ON GROUND)

MELANIE: Yeah.

- Can you tell the coroner?

- POLICEWOMAN: Yeah.

MELANIE: You okay?

Kieran!

(KIERAN PANTS)

MELANIE: (VOICE MUFFLED) Kieran.

You don't look okay.

Just a sec. (PANTS)

- MELANIE: Hey. Hey. Hey. You're all right.

- Sit down a sec.

Just breathe with me. Okay.

(GASPS, PANTS)

MELANIE: You don't have to do anything.

This is going to pass soon.

We'll just wait.

(CAR APPROACHING)

What happened?

KIERAN: Oh.

I couldn't get back in the truck.

Have you called Gemma?

MELANIE: It's going through to voicemail.

KIERAN: I think I'm gonna

have to quit. (SIGHS)

I just

I couldn't do it.

So embarrassed.

RAY: It's okay.

Look at me.

Hey.

I know how that feels.

GEMMA: Mm.

NICK: Gem.

Nick? What's happened?

NICK: Okay.

One of us should go to the hospital.

We need to get the death certificate.

- And his address book so we can start

- letting people know.

Lawyers' details. His will.

GEMMA: Nick?

I know there's a lot to do but

are you okay? Do you wanna talk?

No.

KIERAN: Let's go.

GEMMA: That's me

And that's your Daddy

Hi, Daddy.

Who's that?

Hmm?

not today.

GEMMA: Hey.

Can you help?

Yeah, of course, what needs doing?

- NICK: I don't know, it's the first time

GEMMA: Sorry.

-(PAPER, OBJECTS CRASHING) -NICK: f*ck.

God, for someone as a**l as Dad

he had no logical system.

What am I looking for? Oh.

(CLOSES DRAWER)

(UNSCREWS BOTTLE CAP)

(GEMMA SIGHS)

Oh, God, we should clear

his search history.

(SCOFFS) Don't be gross.

Wouldn't you want yours wiped?

Whoever dies first,

we'll clear each other's history.

-Deal. -(GEMMA CHUCKLES)

- It still feels like we'll get bollocked

- for being in here.

He wasn't that bad.

- -You make out he was the problem but

- -I'm not saying that.

Can you imagine dealing

with your teenaged self?

That's not fair.

Sorry.

I'm not dealing well with this.

Everything's hard at the moment.

Parenting. Work.

Me and Caro

Nick, sh*t. I'm sorry.

(DOORBELL RINGS)

Guess that's your entourage.

- KIERAN: You can just drop your stuff

Just there.

You can drop it. It is fine.

-(DOOR CLOSES) -(GEMMA SIGHS)

(RAY SIGHS)

-DANNY: Auntie Gemma? -GEMMA: Mm?

-DANNY: Can I watch TV? -GEMMA: Of course.

KIERAN: I'll take Danny's stuff too.

- -KIERAN: So can I just pick that up at the civic centre?

- -CAROLINE: I will. Yeah.

- KIERAN: Is that right? Yeah.

- CAROLINE: I'm so sorry, Nana.

(KIERAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY OVER PHONE)

-(RAY GASPS) -(GEMMA GRUNT)

GEMMA: That needs to be thrown away.

Ugh. Hang on.

-(OBJECTS THUDDING) -GEMMA: Oh.

Ugh.

Oh. Oh, God. (SIGHS)

RAY: Are you okay?

GEMMA: I don't feel great.

Thank you

for dropping everything and driving down.

Of course.

Did Kieran get into trouble

for leaving work early?

Uh No.

It's It's fine.

Good.

GEMMA: Oh. (SIGHS)

Everything is out of date.

Finished ham.

CAROLINE: He's asleep.

GEMMA: Here we are.

CAROLINE: Oh.

-Wow. -KIERAN: Amazing.

Do we have a spoon?

- -KIERAN: Is that enough? Some greens?

- -DANNY: Yeah.

- RAY: Greens of course

- CAROLINE: This is amazing.

CAROLINE: Thank you very much.

- -Have you got some of this? -KIERAN: No, I am fine.

- Thank you.

-CAROLINE: You okay? -NICK: I'm fine.

Shouldn't we

shouldn't someone say grace?

None of us do that, Nick. (CHUCKLES)

Yeah, but it's Dad's house.

RAY: What's this?

Dad used to

When Mum died, Dad got a bit "God-y."

Started saying grace before every meal.

It was a bit more like a lecture.

CAROLINE: I didn't know about this.

Nick and I would mess about.

Kick each other under the table.

(GEMMA CHUCKLES)

He'd talk about how lucky

we were to have food

when so many don't.

And a roof above our heads.

- Uncle K, can I have a

- KIERAN: Hold on a second,

Danny, Auntie Gemma's just saying grace.

-GEMMA: Am I? -CAROLINE: Yeah.

NICK: Just doing a shoddy job of it.

Okay. Well, then let's do it properly.

GEMMA: He'd ask us to think

about the day we'd had.

What we'd learned.

How we could be better.

What we love most.

What we lost

and how we could

How we could make sure

that we don't forget.

And with all that in our heads, we'd eat.

RAY: No wonder you ended up

making food for a living.

(GEMMA CHUCKLES)

I suppose in his own particular way,

he was just trying to

keep mum's memory alive.

To make sure that we knew, I don't know,

that we were loved.

Without having to say

the actually word itself.

I never really appreciated that.

-Auntie Gemma? -Yes, Danny?

-DANNY: I'm hungry. -GEMMA (LAUGHS): Okay.

GEMMA: Erm, Nick, do you want

to add anything to that?

- I'm sure you heard way more

of his speeches - than I did.

No.

He stopped doing them when you left home.

We just ate in front of the TV.

RAY: Bon appetite.

KIERAN: Bon app You can eat.

CAROLINE: Thanks, Gemma.

-GEMMA: You're welcome. -Mm. Thank you.

-Delicious. -RAY: Mm.

-It's good. -This tastes great, Gem.

So good.

(SLOW GUITAR MUSIC PLAYING)

KIERAN: Is there another

dry cloth we can use?

GEMMA: Ah

I am just gonna stand here. I am so tired.

KIERAN: Okay.

Will you be there for the assembly?

Your maths one?

DANNY: Shapes.

Friday after school.

I promise I'm going to try.

-Good night, Mum. -MUM: Uh

I love you.

He's annoyed with me.

-No, he's okay. -(DOOR CLOSES)

How you doing?

Getting there.

Just wish I could be more use to you guys.

GEMMA: Look, Nick, it's Ray's deposit,

support from the council, three salaries.

- -NICK: Yeah, that all sounds

- GEMMA: We have - positive projections.

I made it a viable business,

that's why they're trying

to sell it from under us!

- -NICK: But what I'm trying to say is

- -I know you're trying to help,

but we've done the work on this.

Ray's done loads of research,

we've been to a financial advisor

CAROLINE: Look, when I started my company

I had investors to stand as guarantor.

GEMMA: I'm the guarantor.

- Okay, but that means that the collateral

- is your flat.

Yes.

Right, well,

no one knows what's gonna happen,

there could be another recession,

or like a bigger, fancier cafe

opens up down the road. What happens then?

And what happens when you three break up?

- f*ck you, Nick.

- CAROLINE: That is not helpful.

NICK: It's a reasonable question

no one seems to be asking.

GEMMA: We're not going to break up.

CAROLINE: Look, he's putting it badly

- -but -NICK: They could

- repossess your flat.

You could lose everything.

CAROLINE: It's just

It's a lot of pressure

very early on in any relationship.

- GEMMA: I can't deal with

this conversation - right now.

NICK: Someone has to be a grownup, Gemma.

- Listen, I know you're in a bad place

- in your relationship

- -but can you please not take that out on us?

- -f*ck you.

CAROLINE: What?

What, have you said to her?

NICK: Nothing, she's just sh*t stirring.

I think I'm gonna quit my job.

I have to.

-Wait, what? -RAY: Kieran,

- err, now is not the best

- GEMMA: You know about this?

KIERAN: Sorry,

I know it's not great timing,

but I just can't do it anymore.

(GEMMA SIGHS)

-Gem? -GEMMA: Oof, dizzy.

Should I call an ambulance or something?

- -KIERAN: It's okay. It's okay. Don't worry.

- -RAY: Gemma.

KIERAN: Just look at me.

-Is your vision blurry? -I'm fine.

KIERAN: Do you have any light sensitivity?

Have you taken any medication today or

I'm tired. Yeah

It's been an intense day.

Gem. (SIGHS)

RAY: I couldn't find

paracetamol that was in date

Yeah, no

None of these.

KIERAN (SCOFFS): I'm trying to.

He has a good bedside manner.

But I'm sure you already

know that.(CHUCKLES)

RAY: How are you feeling?

-You want some sugary tea? -(GEMMA SIGHS)

Oh, stop fussing, guys. Please.

Headache?

Can we keep your uniform if you quit?

- -Are you going to tell me what happened?

- -Yeah, I will.

- But can we just please

- RAY: He had a panic attack.

GEMMA: Kier.

Can we focus on you passing-out, please.

It's been years.

Yeah, I know.

You were right.

I should have quit when I got stabbed.

It was a sign.

You two and your signs! (SCOFFS)

Have you pooed recently?

How is that your business?

If you're constipated,

- if your blood sugar's low

- Yes, I pooed.

Great.

RAY: Did you get your period?

My period's always irregular.

-It doesn't mean anything. -So

Kier. We've had unprotected sex

our entire relationship

RAY: How late are you?

GEMMA: I can't be pregnant.

It's not possible.

RAY: We're just making sure.

the obvious here.

Look, I'm sure you're a really nice person.

KIERAN: Nick, just stop talking.

DANNY: Triangles are the strongest shape

because any stress is evenly spread

through all three sides.

MOIRA: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

DANNY: An equilateral triangle

is a triangle in which all three sides

are the same.

1, 2, 3, 4

DANNY: But most aren't.

The sum of a triangle's internal angles

is 180 degrees.

An isosceles triangle

have two sides of equal length.

A scalene triangle has

no sides of equal length

and no equal angles.

The angles inside a triangle

are sometimes obtuse

and sometimes acute,

but they always add up to the same thing.

The study of triangles

is called Trigonometry.
