GEMMA: Hmm?

KIERAN: Wait, wait! Wait, wait, wait.

I'll drive you.

GEMMA: Oh. God. Oh, God. Oh, God.

KIERAN: Where's my bag?

(GEMMA GRUNTS)

KIERAN: Don't go panicking.

GEMMA: Done it. (PANTING)

(FOOTSTEPS RUSHING DOWNSTAIRS)

(EXHALES SHARPLY)

GEMMA: I've got it.

-KIERAN: Got it? -GEMMA: Yeah.

KIERAN: Okay.

- All right, well, let's go

It's boarding.

-I -We

Sorry, you were saying?

What were you gonna say?

I was just

Have a good trip.

Okay.

Bye.

- -AIR HOSTESS: Some champagne, sir?

- -Thank you.

Madam?

What are you doing?

She's blown all her air miles,

and now she'd want us to enjoy ourselves.

What?

Gemma, what?

What have we done?

(SIGHS)

-(BIRDS CHIRPING) -(DOG BARKING)

Okay, it's working. I'm calling now.

KIERAN: Cool.

-Wait, calling who? -Ray.

What?

-Er -To say sorry.

Sorry for what?

We should never have got on the plane.

KIERAN: Nobody did anything wrong.

We don't need to feel shame

or guilt about anything, Gem.

-What are you saying? -Last night,

it was a spontaneous,

beautiful, necessary thing

that we all had to do

-Yes. -Yeah? But it was a goodbye.

(KEYPAD CLACKING)

(MOBILE PHONE RINGING)

(MOBILE PHONE CONTINUES RINGING)

(SIGHS)

(CALL DISCONNECTS)

(SIGHS)

Is that really what last night was for you?

Look, Gem. I wanna talk to her too, okay,

of course I do, but what can we say

- that won't make this messy?

- How is this not messy?

We got on a plane,

we said goodbye. Let's not be cruel.

(BOTH SIGH)

(MOBILE RINGING)

-(MOBILE CONTINUES RINGING) -Okay.

Okay, let Let's talk to her.

You're right.

Gem?

What do we say?

(RINGING STOPS)

I've never felt like that before.

Like I couldn't stop,

-it was so -All right, Jesus,

I don't need to hear the details.

Be my friend, Moi.

-Please. -You're not g*y, Wilson.

Or bi, or whatever.

I would know if you

I love them, Moi.

MOIRA: They are your landlords.

They f*cked you. They went on honeymoon.

- RAY: Yes, but

- They've rejected your calls.

They haven't answered

a single message or

They love each other.

They've been together for years.

I am the one

- who destroyed everything.

- Stop blaming yourself.

Yes, you've done a very stupid thing,

but they are fine.

They have flown first-class to

see one of nature's miracles

and you're taxiing them to the airport

and feeding their f*cking cat.

-It's not -f*ck them!

It's not

- What were you hoping,

that they'd take you - on honeymoon?

-Oh God, you did. -I didn't

-I don't know what I expected. -Mate,

you are a shitshow.

I wasn't expecting them

To To take me,

or for Or for them to stay. I

Seriously,

what were you hoping would happen?

Look,

all that's happened is you had a three-way.

You can tick that off the Cosmo sex quiz.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

GEMMA: Mmm.

(INAUDIBLE)

(SIREN WAILING)

Oh, merde.

MAN: You are lucky. You have been chosen.

-You have been -(DOOR OPENS)

selected from thousands of applicants.

So take this opportunity

to give yourself a pat on the back.

(PATS BACK)

(ALL PATTING ON THE BACK)

MAN: Now stop patting yourself on the back

because this is just the beginning,

and not all of you will make it to the end.

Ramona Wilson.

Stand, please.

Let's imagine you have

a flight at 9:00 a.m.

You turn up for work at

five minutes past 9:00.

Now do you think you

can stand on the runway

with your thumb in the

air and have them stop?

No.

I don't think that.

You are the face of the company.

You are the front line.

Part of delivering a world-class service

is delivering yourself at your best.

Punctuality.

Three strikes and you're out.

Plenty more waiting to take your place.

That is strike one, Miss Wilson.

( FREAKSHOW PLAYING)

These look really nice. What are they?

Karjalanpiirakka.

(SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)

PATRICK: This is "the most

kissed face of all time."

Based on a drowning victim

pulled from the River Seine,

they've been helping train lifesavers

the world over.

And we have a genuine lifesaver

here to help train you.

-All right, guys. -(ALL GREETING)

So first thing you do

is check for a level of response.

Hello, can you hear me? He's unresponsive.

Have a look in the airway, it's clear.

Head back, tight hands together

and do it at about one a second,

and you continue uninterrupted.

(PUMPING ON DUMMY VICTIM'S CHEST)

(CROWS CAWING)

-(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING) -(RUSTLING)

(SIGHS)

I do want to be married to you.

No, that sounded

-It's a minefield. -f*ck's sake, Gemma.

I'm not saying you're a minefield,

-I'm saying -We're on honeymoon

and you're moping over someone else.

I'm not moping. Jesus.

I can't tell you how shitty that feels.

Okay, yes, fine, I am. I miss her like mad.

And f*ck you. You feel the same,

so don't make this about just me.

I'm just saying

You love her too,

and I feel as jealous and confused

and sick as you do,

so can we just be f*cking

kind to each other?

Do you regret it?

I feel ashamed.

-Aren't you feeling -No.

Why should I feel ashamed?

Saying she loved us was the bravest thing

I have ever seen.

And we f*cked her and left.

We didn't answer her phone calls.

We didn't message her.

We've ghosted her. We're basically

-the worst sort of people. -KIERAN: No!

It's not what happened, all right?

She watched us get married.

She knew we were leaving.

She upgraded our f*cking seats, Gemma.

Oh, my God, Kieran,

why do I have to explain to you

- that we've hurt her? -We are

We're all grown-ups.

We're all consenting adults.

- I'm not talking about an unforgettable

- one-night stand.

What we did meant something,

and we f*cked off on honeymoon

and we didn't even answer her phone call.

I think that would entirely destroy me.

We're not bad people.

We don't get to decide that.

KIERAN: f*ck!

(SIGHS)

(WIND BLOWING)

(SNIFFS)

(SNIFFLES)

(SOBS)

MOIRA: You know I'm allergic?

(CAT MEOWS)

It won't be for long.

MOIRA: You okay?

No.

Oh, come in.

(KIERAN CLOSES DOOR)

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATION OUTSIDE)

GUIDE: We are leaving in one minute.

I think I'm gonna stay.

-Kier -You go.

No, don't be silly.

I just

Really, I have to clear

my head for a bit

GEMMA: But the Northern

Lights is your thing.

-Kier. -You go.

I just need to be alone for a bit, Gem.

Go.

Every one of these is awful!

I have 25 chins!

(BOTH LAUGH)

(MOBILE PHONE VIBRATES)

"Kieran Lovell, new email."

(IMITATES DOG BARKING)

(TV PLAYS INDISTINCTLY)

Er Do this.

Got it.

Have a good day at work, dear.

(MOBILE PHONE RINGING)

(SIGHS)

She's not answering.

(EXHALES SHARPLY)

Why would you do this

without consulting me?

You said we shouldn't ghost her.

I was trying to let her

know that we still care

This is worse than nothing.

This is an "it's not you, it's us"

No, it's not. (STAMMERS) I mean, it's clear

and it's calm and I'm

re-stating boundaries.

Who sends an email

- -to break up with someone?

- We're not breaking up - with her, Gemma.

- -We're not in a relationship with her!

- -Yes, we are.

Of course we are. We have been for months.

We've wrecked a really special thing,

and we've lost her from our lives. Forever.

Okay.

Then let's not break up with her.

Let's be with her.

Kieran, no.

Obviously, no.

People People do that, Gemma.

People have relationships like

that, all right,

- -they find a way to make it work.

- -Are you wanting to risk

what we have, our marriage.

- You're wanting to risk what we have

- over an experiment!

Look, I know it's

obviously a terrible idea,

- -but I'm just saying that we should

- -Not possible!

All right,

then what are we talking about then?

- What do you want me to do?

- Stop trying to fix things

-and making them worse. -Fine!

I'll just leave everything sh*t.

Is that better?

What How do you think it would it work?

What How would it practically

- -What would it mean for our lives

- -I don't know,

I don't know, Gemma, okay.

But I'm just saying that

we should at least

-You want to be with her. -Oh, come on.

- Don't make me be the man that's

after two girlfriends, - all right?

-It's both of us. -Kieran.

I I don't love you any less

because of her and I know

you don't love me any less.

- -Just say what you want!

- -I want you to not hate me.

And I'm scared to death. I

I'm scared I'm gonna lose you either way.

I can't bear the thought of losing her

or your heart breaking.

I know it's crazy.

I know it's not possible, all right.

But one of us has to say it.

Because, yes

I want to be with her.

I want us to be with her.

-(GEMMA SIGHS) -You do, too.

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

They're forecasting rain tonight

but we'll just wrap up warm.

I don't care about the Lights.

- GEMMA: I want you to see it.

- We're here to see it.

Gemma, please, can we just talk

Kieran, just stop!

Just stop!

(SIGHS)

Let's just try and have a honeymoon.

(SCOFFS)

INSTRUCTOR: Like so

Okay, turn around for me.

There.

Not bad.

RAY: Yes!

- TRAINEE 1: We did it.

- TRAINEE 2: You look great.

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

No excursion tonight, sorry.

No visibility.

-The rain is -No. No, this is bullshit.

Gem, it's It's fine.

We can get a bottle of wine instead.

- -Try to enjoy ourselves. -We're only

here to see - the Northern f*cking Lights.

GUIDE: It's very disappointing.

-I'm sorry. -KIERAN: It's fine.

(GEMMA SIGHS)

Gemma!

Look, why are you so hell-bent on me see

Gemma.

Sorry. (CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

RAY: Moi. How was your day?

MOIRA: That fleabag's a nightmare.

It crapped on the rug, vommed on the bed.

I had to take it to the vet.

You owe me 65 quid by the way.

And look

I'm covered.

I've had to wash the sheets,

the rug, the pillows,

there's hair on everything.

I'm so sorry. I'll help.

It's just so typical, Wilson.

You just don't give a sh*t about me.

-That's not true. -MOIRA: I'm invisible.

Moi, I'm

- I've been right in front of you

- this whole time

waving my arms about, "Hello, I'm here."

And you just

and get the f*ck out of my life!

Get out!

(SOBBING)

Go.

(DOOR CLOSES)

Is this the worst honeymoon

you've ever been on?

It's not funny.

We knew we might not see it.

We've got two more chances.

Wasn't it the most incredible experience

What was it like?

Was it faint or

I've never seen anything like it.

It was like magic.

It was what he said. It was a miracle.

I'm so sorry.

KIERAN: You should have told me.

You thought I'd be upset

because I wasn't there to

Well Yeah.

You being happy makes me happy.

I don't want you to hide things from me

or stop yourself from being happy

because you think your happiness

could ever cause me pain.

You being happy makes me happy too.

I've ever been on.
