CAR STARTS

They've said we're not
locked into anything.

It's... it's just a temporary thing.

But you know that, don't ya?

Might be nice,
having a break from us lot.

Did you love him? Me dad?

I did.

Course I did.

But...

he was a very difficult man.

He did try, for the longest time,
to make it work,

and to find a place,
but he... he just never...

fit.

Like me.

No, Danny. No.

No, not... not like you.

You're gonna be just...

You're gonna be fine, OK?

OK, so the sink's here.

Table's here.

Chair's there and your bed's here.

Any questions?

Where's the bed again?

It's here.

Yeah, I know I just, erm...

Never mind.

So, curfew's at .

I've left your keys in your room.

And here we see the lesser spotted
Ken in his natural habitat.

Ken, say hello to Danny.

Hello.

OK, what's left?

Erm, laundry's down the hall

and I'll make you an appointment
with Mike to talk about benefits

and how to apply.

I'll leave you to get settled.

- We'll have a quick chat on your way out.
- All right, thanks.

You all right Ken?
What are you watching?

Telly.

Look, I-I can stay for a bit
if you want. Keep you company.

No, I'm all right.

Yeah.

My number's on there
and Aaron's is too, so...

just give us a call any time.

And, erm...

here's some cash,
if you need anything.

OK.

I'll get it.

No, no, it's all right,
I'll get it.

What shall we do today?

I don't know.

Oh, come on, Danny, mate.
Let me make it a bit special for ya.

It's a big one. Bloody .

Yeah.

So... what would you like to do?

Would I like to do?

What did you do when you were ?

I don't know. Long time ago.

Anyway, it's not mine, it's yours.
Let's talk about yours.

What's there to talk about?

Were it fun?

- No, it weren't.
- Why not?

- It don't matter.
- Tell me.

I didn't have this.

What we have.

I would have loved this.

I do love it, Dad. It's just...

What?

I want... more than this.

It's not enough.

Where are you going?

Out.

Where?

To get food.

We've got lots of food.

It's not enough.

You'll be all right without me,
won't ya?

Come here, dickhead.

Mwah!

Sorry, they've been at
a wine tasting all morning,

and, true to form,
none of them wanted to spit.

- Hurry up!
- Yeah.

Are you... Are you coming?

- Where?
- Just a place up the road.

Do you want me to?

Are you gonna talk about seating
plans, babies or rings?

Probably not.

Well, come on then.

You know, unless you've got
something better to do.

Where have you come from, then?

Just... somewhere else.

Thought so.
I know everyone from round here.

Mostly a bunch of c**ts.

Now, I've got a very
important question to ask you.

Do you like karaoke?

What's karaoke?

Seriously?
Where ARE you from, Danny?

What, don't you like
to talk about it?

Not really.

Yeah, me neither.

Why not?

Does it matter?

We're here now, aren't we?

Yeah.

Cheers.

Hiya.

What's the place like, then?
All right?

Er...

Yeah, it...

it were all right.

Good. By the sea,
so that'll be nice for him.

You all right?

Good. Fine.

I've got me own room back now,
haven't I? So... good.

Great.

Are you an alien, Danny,
just posing as a human?

Kind of.

You're doing a
f*cking terrible job.

I... I know that one.

That one?

It won't be as good as yours.
You were brilliant.

To be fair, it is the
best song ever written.

I stole it.

What do you mean?

It was my boyfriend's.

Your boyfriend's?

He left me for another guy,
so I stole his song.

Another man?

Yeah, I know -
hard to believe, right?

Aaron, I've got work tomorrow.

So?

So I need my car.

Well, can't Paul take ya?

What? Every day, forever?
No, he can't.

You need to go up to that
farm and get my car back.

Fine.

Hi. You all right?

Yeah.

And your dad?

We'll work it out.

You off, then?

I... I were actually
gonna ask you if, erm...

if you wanted to maybe go on...

You're not asking me out, are you?

Er... No.

How's Danny?

Is he all right? Where is he?

We thought it'd be best if he
went and stayed somewhere else.

You sent him away?

Yeah.

Why?

Be-because I've got a date.

A date?

Yes, but it was lovely
to meet you, though, Danny,

and thanks for making
it so bearable.

Safe journey home,
