01x06 - Episode 6

Post by bunniefuu »

- Neens

- Nina.

- I'd hate for there to be

a chasm between us.

- Will you be my maid of honor?

- Yeah!

- Nina's got a boyfriend.

- Do you want to be

my plus-one?

- Yeah.

NINA: There's this lady called

Dr. Catherine Dunne,

and she's looking

for people to go

to the Isle of Wight

and work with her,

and I applied.

[Upbeat music]

- We are meeting

a few more people,

but we'll be in touch.

- Thank you.

- [Inhaling sharply]

RANESH:

[chuckles] Here We Gyros

is a great indulgence of mine.

NINA: You know what they say.

What happeneth in Rothesay

stayeth in Rothesay.

- It's just family dinner.

No Ranesh.

Should be chill.

Burying stuff's my speciality.

Let's avoid

all things Rothesay.

We get through this together,

and then tomorrow,

we Bill Murray it.

- Nina.

- You asked me

to give you the details

of the wedding,

and I did,

and you didn't reply.

- No, no, Nina, Nina, wait

- No, please don't touch me.

Please.

I think you need to tell him.

EVIE:

Now I get my one big moment

where it's all about me

for the first time in my life,

and you won't let me have it.

- I'm sorry I'm such a burden.

So then she invites

this slip of a man

into my life

without any warning,

andand she makes me mask

in front of his

tiny spectacled dad.

Andand then

sheshe ruined my date

and made me go

to her dress fitting,

where a parrot watched me

getting changed.

And she knows

how much I hate birds.

And thenand then she cheated

on her fiancé in Rothesay

with some man who doesn't

believe in the moon.

Andand after she's done

all of that,

sheshe says to me that I'm

That

That I'mthat I'm a burden.

Die! Die!

[Video game g*n firing]

- They're zombies.

They're dead already.

- You know, I never

I never had to add anything

or take anything away for Evie.

She justshe just

liked me for who I was,

and then this man arrived,

and she got engaged,

and she started changing

and making me

do things

that I didn't want to do.

And tomorrow at her wedding,

I'm gonna have to do

more stuff I don't like,

like smile at strangers

andand wave and lie.

And I don't even have

a plus one.

VIDEO GAME VOICE:

Round two.

- I'm not going.

- Do you know the 2008 rom-com

Made of Honor

with Patrick Dempsey?

He does the right thing

because he's "made of honor,"

you see.

M-A-D-E of honor.

You see, itit

- It's a funny joke.

- [Chuckles]

[video game voice

speaking indistinctly]

Evie getting married

is a good thing.

Means you'll be able

to concentrate

on becoming a Dunne footnote.

- Haven't heard back

about that.

- Oh, well, my reference

interview with them went well.

So yeah, hold your nerve.

VIDEO GAME VOICE:

Level complete.

- If the asteroid hadn't

hit the Earth,

would the dinosaurs

still be alive?

VIDEO GAME VOICE:

Go.

NINA:

No.

- And if this chap

hadn't come along,

it would have been

someone else.

The time of you and Evie

living closely must end,

like all geological

time periods.

If it never did,

you'd never know

where you could have gone.

You have to go to the wedding.

- [Sighs]

Fine.

I'm

- I'm gonna fix my face,

and I'm gonna go

to the wedding.

But I draw the line

at doing Loch Lomond.

I'm not linking arms

with strangers.

- Mm.

[Video game g*n firing]

VIDEO GAME VOICE:

Mission accomplished.

NINA:

Made of Honor?

- Gemma enjoys

noughties rom-coms.

And I must admit,

I did somewhat enjoy it.

- Patrick Dempsey, eh?

- Well, it's those baby blues.

[Chuckles]

NINA:

Declan, you hound.

[Video game voice

speaking indistinctly]

- [slurping]

[upbeat rock music]

[Doorbell ringing]

- Come on!

How you doing now, Shagrid?

- I'm fine, thank you.

BO: You sure?

- Mm-hmm.

- 'Cause your sister's marrying

a fat-free yogurt

in a Ted Baker suit.

- I'm gonna fix my face and be

a silent and compliant MOH

until I am allowed to go home.

- Beautiful.

Well, I'm excited.

There's an open bar.

- Please don't flirt

with Amber tonight.

- She texted me a selfie

outside my primary school.

- That's so creepy.

- [Laughs]

- Maybe she won't turn up.

- Oh, thank God you're here.

Phase two started

25 minutes ago.

The father of the groom's

already here.

Hi, Bo.

I have your corsage.

I took my nail scissors

and cut the flowers

from the botanical gardens.

Gorgeous, aren't they?

- Yeah, I'm pretty sure

you're not meant to do that.

But you know what?

Not my problem.

- Everyone's

in the kitchen, Nina.

There you go, Bo.

- [Whispering] Help me.

- [Whispering] f*ck off.

- There.

[Sniffs]

Mmm.

- Crafty wee chin f*ck!

- Hello, Mum.

- Where's the shoe polish?

- Hello, Dad.

DIANE:

It's in the cupboard of stuff.

NINA:

Hello, Sachin.

- And unto you.

- Mm.

ADE: It's not here.

- Have you looked?

[Phone chiming]

If I come over there

and I see the shoe polish,

I'm going to be

- Here it is.

- Ah!

- [Laughs]

Don't worry, pal.

You're safe this time.

Did I tell you

I'm a songwriter, Sachin?

SACHIN:

Oh, dear Christ.

VOICEMAIL VOICE:

You have one new message.

Press oneto listen

to the message, press two.

To delete the message

New message.

SHANE:

Hi, Shane. It's Nina.

Oops, only joking. [laughs]

Anyway, as it's your day off,

I took the liberty

of checking your emails.

I suspected news about

the dig would come in

[Indistinct chatter]

[upbeat music]

[Knocking]

NINA: Evie?

I know you said that

I wasn't to talk to you,

but

I got offered

a postdoc position.

EVIE:

Wow.

I'm gonna be sick.

- No, it's good news.

- No.

I need to tell Ranesh

what happened on the hen do.

You were right.

- No.

No, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no.

- What do you mean,

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no?"

- It is 93 minutes

before your wedding,

and people will be

arriving soon.

- You told me to tell him.

- Not in phase two

of your wedding morning, Evie.

- [Breathing heavily]

I love him.

Like, really love him.

And I can't marry this man

with all this integrity

without being honest with him.

- You know

this will ruin the wedding.

- Oh, it doesn't matter

about the wedding.

It's about the marriage.

I should have listened to you.

- OK, do you want me

to fetch him?

- Yeah.

- Right.

- I can't do it by myself.

- No, I'll

- I'll stay with you.

I'll

- I'll stand beside you,

but you just have to tell me

when my presence becomes

overbearing or weird,

because I don't know.

- OK.

NINA: OK.

EVIE: OK.

- OK. OK, OK.

So just to check,

92 minutes

before you get married,

you want to tell

your fiancé that

you drunkenly kissed

a man in Rothesay

who doesn't believe in gravity.

- [Whimpering] Mm-hmm.

- OK.

You look beautiful.

- Thank you.

[Music playing in distance]

NINA:

[quietly] f*ck.

I don't know what

you think you heard, but

EVIE:

Did you say something?

- Just practicing my speech!

- Nina, Amber wants me,

like, a lot.

She's right up my arse.

You need to help me.

- No. Have you seen Ranesh?

- Who?

Oh, no.

- [Groans]

[Ade singing indistinctly]

BOTH: Baby,

I just can't get enough ♪

NINA:

Sachin.

Have you seen Ranesh?

- Taste of love, oh, whoa ♪

- Ranesh?

- Ah, don't look at me!

Ah!

AMBER: There you are.

Where is Bo?

Also, we're way behind

on your hair and makeup.

- No.

- I did a hair and beauty

short course.

Why does no one trust me?

- Have you seen Ranesh?

- Yeah, I did see him go

out the front door

two minutes ago.

- I'm just gonna pop outside

for a spot of air

with my good friend Ranesh,

so you hold down the fort.

So you need me to be MOH?

Interim MOH.

- Interim MOH.

Well done.

- Nina, I can do this.

- You can.

- So what's going on?

- None of your business.

Interim MOH.

- Yes!

MOH.

- I said I'd be your plus one

to the wedding, so here I am.

I'm your plus one

to the wedding.

This was a bad idea, wasn't it?

You think the flowers

are cheesy.

They're too much,

I can see that now.

The thing is, I

The otherwhen I

[Stammering]

At the party, what it was

What it is, is

NINA:

I'm gonna stop you right there.

The groom

We've lost him.

- God. He's dead?

- No, no, no!

Um, Ranesh found out

about Evie kissing

your weird friend Euan

in Rothesay, and he's run off.

- Oh, f*cking Euan.

I mean, a wedding

without a groom is like a

Well, it's not ideal, is it?

- We need to find him.

- I've got the van

around the corner.

Uh, sorry about

the, um, the mess.

I, uh

- I don't usually

have visitors.

Or anyone.

Really, I'm quite lonely.

So where's he gonna be?

- I don't know.

- Right.

Uh, where does he live?

- [Groans]

- [groans, chuckles]

OK.

- He's just this little

intrusive thought

who's always at my flat.

I've never asked him

anything about himself.

- Where would he go at a time

of emotional crisis?

- Our flat, but I refused

to give him the spare key.

- Has he ever mentioned

anywhere

that's special to him?

- Our flat?

- The flat, yeah.

- Oh, I

I don't know

anything about him.

Wait. Wait.

He and Evie are always telling

this boring story.

It's the same boring story.

It's about their first date.

They went to

Feminist poetry slam

at the bandstand!

- [American accent] And I

thought our first date was bad.

- This is serious.

- [Normal voice] Yeah, sorry.

Bandstand.

- Bandstand.

[Engine starts]

- Amber, what's going on?

Where's Nina?

- I told you,

she has a tapeworm.

Anyway, let me finish running

through my speech with you.

[Dramatic music]

NINA:

Ranesh!

LEE: Ranesh!

NINA: Ranesh!

LEE:

Ranesh!

Ranesh!

NINA: Ranesh!

LEE:

Ranesh!

Ranesh!



- Ranesh!

- My name's Gavin.

- I don't think he's here.

[Phone ringing]

Excuse me.

Hello?

- You still getting air

with Ranesh?

- Here's the scoop, Amber.

Evie kissed Euan

when we were in Rothesay,

and Ranesh has found out

about it, and he's run away.

And I don't know

where to look for him,

because I don't know

anything about him,

because when he talks,

I zone him out.

And Evie can't know

anything about this.

Do you understand?

- OK.

NINA:

OK.

I'll call you

if I get any updates.

- Give me the phone.

- You never told me.

- Give me the phone!

- Why didn't you tell me?

- Shut up, Amber!

- I thought we were

best friends.

- So you're Ranesh.

You've got a concave arse,

and you're panicking.

Where do you go?

- f*ck!

Where do you go

when you're stressed out?

- Somewhere where I can eat

a lot of grease.

- That's not Ranesh.

Hehe's a

He's a "do some

transcendental meditation,

have a 15K" type of guy.

- I don't know.

Everyone's got

some weird, gross side

not everyone knows about.

- Mm. Not Ranesh.

- Even Ranesh.

- He was designed in a lab

to have a low BMI

and a high irritation point.

- I promise you,

the guy's got layers.

- He doesn't.

- People be surprisin'.

[Sighs]

- Do you know the food van

Here We Gyros?

- Of course I do.

BOTH: Let's go.

[Bell ringing]

- Of course he's not here.

Oh, I've ruined everything.

I should have just let it go.

This is all my fault.

- Well, you didn't kiss Euan.

[Chuckles]

Look, um, things were a bit

weird the last time I saw you.

And I just

- I

NINA:

Oh, my God.

Hey, Neshy.

- I'm gonna

- I know that you and I

have had somewhat

of a checkered past

andand you're very upset

that Evie kissed someone.

- It's not about

her kissing someone.

It's that she didn't tell me.

Anyway, what are you

doing here, Nina?

We both know

you've never liked me.

- Was it very obvious?

- Yes.

I've tried everything

to connect to you spiritually.

Pasta from Firenze.

Tea.

I brewed you my finest

Lapsang souchong.

The other day

when I read you my vows,

I opened up my soul like a tap.

- I know, but it's

- But nothing worked.

It was never about me.

Evie's engagement hit your life

like an asteroid,

and you just couldn't bear

to let her go.

- Maybe you're right.

I called you a soy boy wet wipe

and a host of other things.

It was only

because it felt like

everything you were doing

was pretend.

Itit felt like

you were constantly pretending,

and that's really confusing.

Have you ever actually

been to Firenze?

[Gasps]

- But it is on my to-do list.

- That betrayal aside

I was wrong.

I was wrong about you.

This is you,

and it's all right.

It's all right.

You're allowed to eat a kebab.

I mean, it's bad for your

gut biome, but you like it,

and it tastes delicious.

And Evie loves kebabs.

- Uh, no.

No, no, she doesn't.

She finds them

too heavy and greasy.

- That's a lie!

She loves kebabs.

I've watched her throw back

'babs with the best of them.

I can't believe

I'm gonna say this.

You and her are perfect

for each other.

You're meant to be.

Will you please

come talk to Evie?

[Upbeat music]

- I think he's got

quite a nice arse.

- Mm, it's only concave

in pictures.

Hurry up, sauce pervert.

- Hello, Nina, Lee, Ranesh.

Everyone's waiting

in the garden.

The celebrant says

they have a tight turnaround.

NINA:

Amber, they need to talk first.

- OK, why don't you go

and remove the mayonnaise

from the groom's hair?

Mm. OK.

So Evie does know, but

- Amber, I told you

not to tell her.

- Nina, I've been MOH

eight times before.

This is not my first jilting.

I know what I'm doing.

I mean, Evie did

sort of try to run away.

She was very stressed.

But I managed to catch her.

We had

a very productive dialogue

and calmly resolved

the situation.

- Amber, where's Evie?

[Pounding]

- You locked me in the shed,

Amber!

- I know.

Are you, like, angry

that I locked you in a shed?

- No.

I'm f*cking furious.

- [Laughing]

I'm gonna go change my tampon.

- She's

Dedicated.

- He literally

ran away from me.

- That is true,

but he came back.

- He did?

- Mm-hmm.

He didn't have to,

but he came back,

and he wants to speak to you.

- Oh, he's never

gonna forgive me.

- Of course he will.

- How do you know that?

- Because

You're easy to forgive, Evie.

- About that stuff

that I said the other day

- It's fine. It was

It was your turn to be blunt

and interesting.

EVIE:

No, I was nasty,

and I really regret it.

I'm really sorry.

- I know.

Right.

You're gonna go in there.

You're gonna be 100% honest

with each other.

No shenanigans.

No nonsense.

Just be Evie.

Preferably in the next

nine minutes.

- OK.

- OK.

You've got this.

- Yeah.

NINA: Yeah.

EVIE: Mm-hmm.

- You're good.

- Aye, you can't see it at all.

RANESH: Great.

LEE:

There and there.

RANESH:

Thank you.

- Hi.

- Hi.

NINA:

Come on, Lee.

- Can you stay?

[Chairs squeaking]

- I could stand here

and say that

I respect every decision

a woman makes.

But I'm not going to do that.

- OK.

- Because I'm hurt

that you kissed someone

and didn't tell me.

You've made a mockery of all

that we've built together

over the last 12 weeks.

- But that kiss, it was just

- No, it's not about the kiss.

It's about being open

and honest with one another

in perpetuity.

That's what

you're supposed to do

when you want

to be with someone.

So we just need

- I'm obsessed

with Real Housewives!

Sometimes I wish

I was a housewife.

- I'm 30,

and I am genuinely

terrified of my dad.

- [Whispering] He is scary.

- I have never seen

a Sofia Coppola film.

- I've never seen

a Sofia Coppola film!

- Shut up.

- [Laughs]

- I've actually shat myself

on multiple Greek islands.

- [Laughs]

I have no idea

what a gut biome is.

- I have no friends.

Apart from a woman

that can't be within 50 feet

of the kid from Love, Actually.

- That's Amber, not me.

- Right.

- I have auditioned

for Britain's Got Talent

four times.

And I'm really scared

that I'm boring.

- I know on the outside

I'm this sweet, sassy,

confident redhead

who's a perfect mix

of Carrie and Charlotte

all at once.

But inside,

there's a part of me that is

really horrible and ugly

and destructive.

And it scares me.

- Me too. [chuckles]

Wow.

- Wow.

- Wow.

- [Laughs] Yeah.

- God, that was better

than an ultramarathon.

- We should just

tell each other

exactly what we're thinking

and feeling

every second of every day.

- That's not practical.

- No more lies, ever.

- Ever.

We'll share everything.

- Hmm.

- Will you marry me?

- Yeah.

Go on, then.

[Clapping]

- You may now kiss the bride.

- You look happy.

- I did it, Lurch.

- Did what?

- I broke up with Hilda.

- [Gasps] No!

[Both laughing]

- Yeah.

Something about that ceremony

just really touched a nerve.

- Oh, Bawbag.

You know,

there's no going back now.



- [groans]

I've ruined my life. Ah!

- No, you haven't.

No.

Don't phone her.

She's like the world's

most boring witch.

Her only spell is

making you feel sad.

- She's Dr. Dunne it!

- We are so proud of you,

darling.

- How did you find out?

- Evie's been telling everyone.

My daughter, a doctor?

- Mum, I got my post-doctorate,

like, four years ago.

- I know.

I just like saying it.

- [Laughs]

- To the Isle of Wight!

- Isle of, Isle of,

Isle of f*cking Wight.

Isle of, Isle of,

Isle of f*cking Wight!

ALL:

Isle of, Isle of,

Isle of f*cking Wight!

[Laughter]

- You two are like

gonky Normal People.

- Mm, Abnormal People.

Don't phone her.

- Roger that.

- Now I'm gonna go

and Roger that.

- Gets right in there.

- You're not gonna ask me

to dance, are you?

- Absolutely not.

- OK, good.

[Soft music]

So

I'm, uh

- I'm guessing

you got the postdoc, then.



- How'd you know?

- "Isle of, Isle of,

Isle of f*cking Wight."

- [laughs]

- It's great news.

You gonna take it?

- I think so.

I mean, I know so, yeah.

- Yeah.



- You were gonna say something

when you, um, turned up

at my door with flowers.

- I did pull away from you.

I don't usually get

to this bit, you know.

[Singer singing indistinctly]

I just feel like you get me.

And not everyone does.

And then you asked me out,

and I was buzzing,

and then you say,

"I'm going

to the Isle of Wight."

And I thought,

all right, well

Well, that's that done, then.

- I confused you.

I've been confusing.

Usually I'm

the straightforward one.

- [Laughs]

- Didn't occur to me that I

I could have both.

LEE:

But we can.

Do you want both things?

- It's like, I can see the dig,

and I want so badly

to be part of a discovery

that's bigger than me

and bigger than my life

will ever be.

But

I also

- I want you.

I really want

to give this a try.

But I'm not good with people.

And I'm not good

at relationships.

- Well, that sounds like

an unproven hypothesis.



- It would be silly to start

something romantic.

- Yeah.

And we don't even know what

this is yet, so it's, um

- Reckless.

- Illogical.

- Illogical.

Sometimes life isn't logical.

- Knutsford.

- [Laughs] What?

- Knutsford.

It's 225 miles from Glasgow,

and it's 225 miles

from the Isle of Wight.

Slap bang in the middle.

And yeah,

I searched that online.

And you wouldn't believe

how long it took me

to figure that out.

Anyway,

if we want to make this work,

then

Why don't we meet there

in a year's time?

- My postdoc is only

six months.

- OK, six months. Knutsford.

- Well, by then, I'll probably

just be back in Glasgow,

so we could just

- Nina.

I'm being romantic.

[Laughs]

- Knutsford.

- Knutsford.

[Singer singing indistinctly]

- I'm gonna go.

- I should probably go too.

Imagine if I just hung about

after you left.

I won't.

- You can if you want.

My family like you.

- Nina.

- Hmm?

- I'll miss you.

NINA:

I'll miss you too.

- Good luck.

[Soft music]

- Night, night, Bawbag.



- Bye, Nina.

- Bye, Nina.



- [laughing]

EVIE:

Nina!

Did you see Bo and Amber?

- [Laughing] Yeah.

Well, he's got a type.

- Out of the frying pan.

- Mm.

I keep thinking,

what if they don't have

wheat puffs

on the Isle of Wight?

- No, I checked.

Nearly every major supermarket

in the UK sells them.

- But you'll pack some.

- Yes.

EVIE: Just to be safe.

- Yeah.

Were you trying to sneak off

without saying bye?

You know you'll be away

by the time

I get back from my honeymoon.

- Yeah.

I wanted to, but you looked

like you were having fun.

Plus, I've got a job to accept,

and I'm exhausted.

- I should get back

to my husband.

[Laughs]

OK.

- OK.

EVIE:

Bye, Nina.
