Oh, I'm so pumped for our party tomorrow night.
Same! Same.
The thing is I've got this hag.
A what?
Hag. It's a mixture between a stag and a hen do.
It's Nathan's friend's stag,
and then bride's going out with all of her girl friends,
then everyone meets up at the end for the hag.
Hey, I can miss it. It's fine. I can miss it.
Mm...
Should the party have a theme?
I love a theme.
Isn't it the Diamond Jubilee this weekend?
Queen-themed!
No, I'm not celebrating the monarchy. Razor.
Nell, I really enjoy all your various causes,
but in this case I'm going to have to ask that you pop on
a little plastic crown and just join in the fun.
Agreed.
Give me the fucking razor.
The other day I went to this party, with Nathan,
at his friends Danny and Fran's -
they're the ones who are getting married -
and they served, like, cocktails in real cocktail glasses.
I got so drunk I can't remember anything past 9pm.
"Danny and Fran." They are such classic names of people
that you meet through a boyfriend.
So true.
What's that supposed to mean?
You know, like, "Danny and Fran have organised a camping trip."
"Danny and Fran are hiking the Inca Trail!"
"Danny and Fran are breaking up and they don't know which one
"takes the butt plug."
They have organised a camping trip, actually,
to Snowdonia.
I'm really looking forward to it. It'll be nice to do something
for once that doesn't just involve getting drunk.
Ah, Birdy, don't be moody!
How about I make coronation chicken for dinner,
and then we can decorate the house?
I'd love to, but if I'm gonna go to the hag
I should probably see Nathan tonight.
But you were with him last night.
Yeah, but that wasn't the weekend.
It's not fair to not see him all weekend.
Okay. Erm...
I just thought we were gonna set everything up for
the party together.
Well, I'll come back early tomorrow and I'll help then.
Okay.
No problem.
It's fine.
Have a good day at work.
Cheers.
"Opposites attract."
That's something you hear a lot in love.
But when does being opposites become living in opposition?

I am not happy.
I want more air time.
If you want to be more involved, get your boyfriend on.
We can do a few scenes with him.
No, he would prefer to die.
He hates that I do this show.
Look, the deal is we're following your real life.
At the minute, you're giving us a tiny part of your life,
so you're only gonna be on a tiny part of the show.
Okay, I know something
about someone.
Who?
Jade.
What about her?
She cheated on Kyle with Alex.
And I want to tell Kyle,
on camera.
I think he deserves to know.
I would like to know when the episode will air,
because I have a new swimwear line coming out
and the publicity would be great.
Right, thanks, Bella. Thanks. Bye.

Me neither. I love this job.

What you doing at the weekend?
We're having a party tomorrow night.
A house party?
Yeah. As in tinnies, ketamine, kettle chips?
Yeah.
Great.
I'll be there.
Really?
Yeah.
Okay. Erm... It starts at seven.
It starts at seven?
Doesn't sound like a house party.
Well, you can come whatever time you want.
Don't lie to me, Maggie. I want the kind of party where
you could get pregnant from the loo seat.
If I see any fucking prosecco,
I'll be really angry.
Do you understand?
Yeah? Yeah.
So we're hoping to represent Edmonton Estates

All right, I've got to go to bed.
But you continue to make our home look like

Are you nervous about tomorrow?
Yeah.
But it's got to be done.
I can't end the relationship without him noticing.
I wish I could.
Poor Neil.
What do you mean, "poor Neil"?
You've been ripping the piss out of him for six years.
Oh, good luck.
Thank you.
Yeah, good luck.
- MOCKING: Yeah, night! - [SHE LAUGHS]
Goodnight.
I'm so excited about your call-back, Amara.
I KNEW you'd end up quitting your job and going back to dancing.
I mean, property? Ha!
As if you're gonna end up selling houses!
I'm not quitting my job.
Well, you're gonna have to when you get the advert.
What are you gonna do?
Like, pretend you're sick while you go and film for a week in Iceland?
I'm not quitting my job. I've still got to pay my rent.
Yeah, but you can do that without being in a job you hate.
Oh, you don't understand.
Yeah, I do. Look at me.
Yeah, look at you, Maggie.
You've managed to land your dream job
so you think that everybody else can too,
and if they don't then they're selling out,
or they don't want it enough.
I was told explicitly by someone high up
in the industry that I would never make it as a contemporary dancer.
Amara, I'm sorry. I... I did not realise.
Yeah, and you didn't realise that I was the only girl
who looked like me on my degree course.
Or that when men chat shit to me on a dating apps,
it's not just a bad batch.
I love you, babe ... you are my ride or die.
But we are not the same.
And you don't fucking get it sometimes.
I'm so sorry.
I don't need you to be sorry.
I just need you to see.
[ALARM BEEPS]
How long have you thought that?
I don't know.
Two years. Two years?
No... No, actually, that's wrong. I...
I haven't thought that for two years.
What I meant was, erm...
..it's kind of like we've been breaking up for two years.
Right. Okay, then. So...
..that weekend in Amsterdam for our five-year anniversary,
were we broken up then?
No.
And my auntie's wedding last summer, were we broken up then?
- No, look, I didn't mean... - Because it didn't feel like
we were broken up. It felt like you were very much my girlfriend, Nell.
[TAPS ON MICROPHONE] Two, two. One, two.
- Two, two. One, two... - [FEEDBACK]
I've never been single, Neil.
I'm 25 and I've been in relationships since I was 14.
I don't want to be single.
That's not enough of a reason for us to take our 20s from each other.
I never felt like you've taken anything from me.
Until now.

than ask you this.
In fact, I did check how long it would take
and it's two days, ten hours, which would be fine,
but I do have a really important meeting tomorrow morning,
and I need to get a train ticket home
and I don't have any money left.
And I'm at the bottom of my overdraft.
But I will pay you back the minute I get paid next week.

I'll book you a ticket, and I'll e-mail it to you.

Yep. And I'm going to buy you a thank you present.

I'll book you onto the coach instead of the train. It's cheaper.
