PHONE VIBRATES

Hello?

Yeah, hiya, yeah, yeah.

No, no,
I've been trying to ring you, Aaron.

You all right?

Is Danny all right?

A Martini?

He's not drunk, is he?

No, I'm fine.

No, all right.

Love...?

f*ck's sake.

So?

[SIGHS]
What?

No, they're fine.

They just... I dunno,
they're just having fun in the pub.

It's loud, so...

Aaron said he got a Martini,
Danny did.

I do reckon we need to have a proper
think about... Well, everything.

We don't even know
what's going on in his head.

He's fine.

He's fine.

Aaron's looking out for him, so...

Oh, right, well.

- What?
- Nothing, he's a good kid.

Just...

You know, he's not exactly
Mr Capable, is he?

- What?
- I'm just saying.

You know what? He's just
down on himself. All right?

He's finally got himself a mate and
they've gone down the pub,

and they're having a nice normal
time watching football

and drinking bloody Martinis!

I think we need to be a bit
more rational about this, OK?

We need to work out if this
is the best place for him.

We've got two little kids, and I just...

D'you know what? I need to do
this for Danny. I need to make it work.

So, you can either help me
or you can f*ck off.

Can I have something to eat?

Course you can.

Whatever you want.

I'm sorry, mate,
that it's all turned out like this.

But it's not your fault.

It's the monsters.

What?

He were proper scary, all right?

I know.

But it's OK.

I know what to do.

My dad told me how to
deal with monsters.
