We've got to go there

and finish the job or he's going
to call t'police, in't he?

Come on.

Do you want some breakfast?

No, I'll get some at t'garage.

MELANCHOLY ROMANTIC MUSIC PLAYS

I went to the station once
- from Brief Encounter.

Is it real?

Yeah, course it is.

What were it like?

It's like a station. It was full of
commuters and pigeon sh*t.

Better in the film.

I think everything is.

Where did your dad go?

What's that?

When you were small,
where did he go?

He...

went to prison.

Do you wanna know what he did?

Terrible, really.

He f*ckin'...

ate a guy.

SHE CHUCKLES

He didn't actually eat a guy.

It was, like, something to do with
his taxes. f*cked up his accounts.

All right?

- Come on, then. Got to get that booze.
- Yeah, cool.

You making yourself useful
for once?

Yes. Unlike you, lazy bollocks.

Lazy bollocks!
HE CHUCKLES

- She doesn't know.
- What?

She doesn't know about her dad.
What he did.

Like he didn't even tell her.

Like it were nothing.

Don't say anything.

Why not?

Cos it'll just f*ck everything up,
won't it?

With her?

No. Just...

Just everything. I...
I don't f*cking know, do I?

Look...

it's been a lot better
since you've been here.

Has it?

Yeah.

I mean, it's good, innit?

Look, let's just have some fun

MUSIC: So Fly
by Dexx! Turner and ADGRMS

- All right?
- All right.

Right, so who's up for some hardcore
hallucinogenics, then?

- AARON CHUCKLES
- OK.

Mushrooms?

Shall we just have
another beer instead?

What do they do?

I don't know, just... make everything
a bit funnier.

They break your mental shackles
and allow you to glimpse the truth.

And also just make everything
a bit funnier.

Well, I'm not going
to take one, OK?

And it's not cos I'm not up
for it, just...

I think someone should keep
an eye out, you know?

But they sound good.

I know, but...

maybe everything's already
a... a bit much, you know?

Might be a bad idea.

I... I'm OK.

How do you mean?

Well, his dad went a bit funny.
