Oh, hi, Charlie. Hello.
Ah! Back in school, I see. Yep.
How was it? Good.
And you, young lady. I hope things are a bit better there now?
Yes. I'm ignoring those bullies, like you said.
Good girl.
I hope you and Cass have sorted out your differences.
Unfortunately not. Maybe you should give him another chance.
I'm sorry, Zoe,
but there comes a time when a person must draw a line.
If it's someone in your family, then it's good to try again.
Like Zoe and Kelly. Yes, but Cass is just a friend.
(CHUCKLES)
You told me family comes in all different ways.
Well, I did. So, isn't Cass part of yours?
Come on. We'd better go. Thank you, Charlie. See you later.
Are you OK? Yeah, I'm OK.
I'm just not very hungry.
Hi. Hiya.
It's today, isn't it? The test results.
Yeah.
What time's your appointment? Four.
That must seem like a long wait.
Yeah, well, we're doing our best to keep her mind off it until then.
Sorry. Of course. No, it's fine.
I just wanted to say good luck. Thanks, Jackie.
Sure, why don't you join us? We need to get back soon.
You need to take it easy. No, I prefer to be up and about.
Pete's right. You look after yourself.
I'll be thinking of you today. Thanks.
Kerri-Ann, look,
I just want to apologise for all the things I said to you.
I didn't mean any of them.
Yeah, just forget about it. I can't.
Well, I have, so let's move on.
Are you alright? What happened?
He told me all the things I do that irritate him.
He did what? Do you think my voice is annoying?
No. Did he say that? Unbelievable.
As if thinking those things wasn't bad enough,
he went and told me to my face.
And, what, he expects you to kiss and make up now?
Please tell me that you are moving on.
Yeah. No, don't worry. I am.
I suppose you're happy with yourself.
Yeah, there's nothing like a bar of chocolate to brighten up your day.
You know what I'm talking about. No. I don't.
Kerri-Ann, giving me up for you. It's what you were angling for.
Hang on, you and Kerri-Ann aren't together anymore?
Don't get your hopes up. It's temporary.
Does she know that? She will, after we talk it over.
I don't give up that easy.
Hello?
I don't know. Who would I be up against?
(FOOTSTEPS) Listen, I can't talk now.
I'll have to talk to you later. See you. Bye.
Do you think you could put a rush on table three, please?
Yeah. Coming up.
Remember, he said easy on the garlic.
Don't worry. I just put a couple of cloves in.
It's a joke. Hilarious.
Come on, have a laugh. It makes the day go a lot quicker.
Getting the food out on time makes the day go a lot easier.
Fair enough.
Table three.
I've been looking everywhere for you.
Look, I bumped into Frank earlier. He told me you two broke up.
I have to know.
Was that before or after we spoke the other night?
I was going to tell you.
And I didn't let you. Cos I'm a dope.
Well, it doesn't matter now. It does, Kerri-Ann.
You know how I feel about you. Yeah, you made that pretty clear.
No! Not that stuff. I've said sorry for that.
You have to give me one more chance. You just have to.
Do you know how many times I've heard that?
"Just one more chance." I've lost count.
Kerri-Ann. No.
Just for once, I want to be with a guy who doesn't need extra chances,
someone who at least tries to get it right from the start.
But I am trying. I am.
And I promise you, if you give me one more chance,
I will get this right, but you have to let me.
You have to.
I didn't need to hear that list.
I already know I'm not perfect.
But I deserve someone who'll love me anyway.
I would've thought you'd be spending the day with Dolores.
I'm up to my eyes revamping the shop and Damien's out on a job.
Thank you.
Anyway, she wanted some time on her own.
She must be finding it hard. She's getting through it.
It's tough on you too. It's not about me.
Anyway, I've got to get back. Wait.
Why won't you talk to me? I just did.
Come on, Pete. I'm sick of hiding from this. You must be too.
Dolores has cancer, Jackie.
I can't get into anything else right now.
And if she hadn't?
If she wasn't sick, would that change things between us?
What kind of question is that to ask? I need to know.
Have you any idea what Dolores is going through?
It must be unbearable. Can you see how selfish you're being?
I'm not proud of it,
but there is something between us and I can't just ignore it.
Please. Just answer the question.
I can't. You have to.
Alright, yes.
Maybe there is, OK? Maybe.
How are you?
How's Dan getting on? Yeah, he's grand, Cass.
Any word on when he's coming home? I'm not really sure, no.
How are you, Charlie? Hello, Carol. Cass.
Er... I was just getting the dinner in.
Shepherd's pie.
Ready meal. I prefer to make mine from scratch.
Yes, I remember.
You'd have every pot and pan in the place filthy.
At least you knew you weren't eating horse meat.
Am I missing something? What is going on with you two?
We may have had a difference of opinion.
Over what?
I offered Cass a job in the Community Centre, as a caretaker.
That's what you're fighting about? It was only done out of sympathy.
Why, were you looking for work? I just needed a bit of cash.
There's worse jobs, Cass.
Try mucking out a taxi after a Saturday night.
I genuinely thought that you'd be an asset.
It's more than just cleaning, you know.
Charlie loves that place.
He wouldn't offer the job to just anybody.
Come on, now. This is silly. Shake on it.
Good man. That job is still open, if you want it.
I do.
We'll show Dermot we're capable of looking after ourselves.
We will. There you are. That's more like it.
I'm sorry if I offended you. Fair enough.
And when I invited you to move into my place,
it wasn't just to shoulder the bills.
It'd be nice to have someone else there
when Bela gets one of his humours.
Yes. He can be a bit moody, alright.
That's what I mean. He's easier to handle when you're around.
The three of you always seemed really happy there.
You should think about it.
(PETE) Wayne's on his way over.
Dolores? Do we have to go right now?
We don't want to be late for your appointment.
I don't want to make that mistake again.
Why can't we be going to the airport instead?
Somewhere warm. Sicily. I've always wanted to go there.
We will, when you get better. What if I don't?
You have to stay positive, Dolores. So everyone keeps telling me.
It's easy for me to say, but we have to.
You see these young kids with cancer on the telly and in the papers,
and everyone talks about how brave they are.
God.
They carry on smiling, living their lives.
Look at me. I'm not even brave enough to get out of this chair.
Hey. You are the bravest person I know.
No, I'm not. It only looks that way because I'm with you.
Pete, I don't know how I would've coped without you.
I'm useless most of the time,
except maybe when it comes to making cups of tea.
I'm scared, Pete. I know.
I am too, but you're not facing this alone, OK?
I'm so glad you're here.
I wish sometimes...
I don't know. That maybe I could be better for you.
Oh, don't. You've been amazing. Thank you.
Are you ready? Yeah. I am.
I'll just go and get my coat, OK? Right.
There's a problem. I have a flat tyre and no spare.
Damien has the van.
We can't change the tyre now.
Don't worry. These things happen. I'll give Leo a call.
Right.
I thought you were at home. Yeah, I was, but I came out.
I'm not an invalid. I know that.
(PHONE RINGING)
Yeah, Pete.
Er... Yeah, right.
Yeah, OK. Stay where you are and I'll sort that out, OK? Right.
They need a lift to the hospital, ASAP.
Are you gonna take them?
Well, I was gonna have a cup of coffee and...
No. I might see if somebody else is free.
Da, they're your mates. It's a safe fare.
Yeah, yeah, I know. Look...
What about having a pizza later on and watching a DVD?
I'm busy.
Anything to do with a certain restaurant manager?
No. You're not giving anything away.
No. We work together. That's it.
Whatever you get up to, you're your own man,
and I'm proud of that, son.
Cheers, Da.
(CHARLIE) Ah, Carol. How are you, Charlie?
Did you make a decision on your move?
Well, no, not really.
Oh. It seemed like a good idea to me.
Well, I'd have to rent out my place.
So? There's always people looking.
It's all the hassle of the cleaning and the storing everything.
There's plenty of people that would give you a hand.
I know. I'm not sure I'm ready for it just yet.
You mean you're not ready to let go.
I have a lot of happy memories with Esther there.
I know it's hard to move on,
but I bet it gets a bit lonely there on your own.
It does, but it'd be like saying goodbye to her all over again,
and I don't want to.
Charlie, you never have to say goodbye to Esther.
The house will still be there, and you'll take your memories with you.
Maybe.
She wouldn't want you to be alone.
She'd want you to be with your friends.
Get yourself a coffee. There's a machine outside.
I'm not going anywhere, OK?
I'm sorry, Ma. Just a bit... I know, love.
Listen, I know I've been a bit of a pain in the last few weeks,
but I've been out of my mind worrying about what could happen.
It's alright. No, listen.
It's made me realise, OK,
every day we have with you now is a bonus, especially for Junior.
And no matter what happens now when we go in that room,
you're here now.
I promise I'm going to make the most of each minute we have.
Oh, Wayne.
(WOMAN) Dolores? Hi.
I'm ready for you now, if you'd like to come through.
I'm happy to report that it appears the tumour has gone.
I told you it was gonna be good news! That's great.
So thank you so much for that, Doctor.
Dolores is the one who did all the hard work.
Can we assume that she's beaten it, then?
It certainly appears positive, but we'll know more after surgery.
Surgery?
Yeah, Wayne, we knew that. Chemo was only the first stage.
I know, but I thought they said the tumour had disappeared.
Surgery is routinely performed at this stage.
Although Dolores has had an excellent response on scans,
the only reliable way to ensure there's no cancer left
is to remove the area that was initially affected.
We'll also need to look at the relevant lymph nodes,
but there's every reason to be hopeful.
Right. So, there's still a bit to go yet.
There is,
but the good news is you've taken a big step in the right direction.
So, well done. That's good for me.
We're celebrating tonight. Maybe we should wait a while.
No. You're better than you were. I'll take whatever we can get.
Ah, Wayne. No.
I meant what we said outside.
We'll deal with everything else when we have to,
but tonight we're raising a glass.
Thanks very much. Thanks so much, Doctor.
That's me done. OK. See you tomorrow.
Maybe with your face smashed in. Who knows?
So, you did hear.
It's none of my business, just like the other night.
I'm sorry about that. I know you were only looking out for me.
I won't make that mistake again.
Look, I don't blame you for being mad.
You were on my side, and I let you down.
Am I supposed to feel sorry for you now?
It's just my head is all messed up with this stuff with Da,
and now I've had the offer to fight again.
All you have to do is say no.
It's not that simple. Yes, it is.
This woman, she stopped me
just as I was pulling away from the hospital.
I said to myself, yeah. Why not?
So I took a fare. Then I took another fare.
Before I knew it, it was after dinnertime.
That's great. Yeah!
It feels great to be back in the saddle.
I'm very proud of you.
Kerri-Ann, can I have a word with you?
I'm going soon. We only just got here.
Sorry, Leo, I'm a bit tired. Hang on. Please, just wait!
Look, I am so sorry for hurting you,
but the fact is, I haven't stopped thinking about you since we kissed,
and the fact it, I don't want to stop, either.
Is that true?
It wasn't like that. What was it like, then?
Like she's saying, it was nothing. I wasn't talking to you.
Can we talk about this somewhere else?
When did it happen?
Sunday. Before or after we broke up?
Before.
But all those things you said to me...
You made it sound like we could work this out.
I gave you the wrong impression. Sorry. I didn't want to hurt you.
Here.
It's the perfume you like.
I remembered you were allergic to flowers.
Wait, Frank.
Leo, did you see his face? I didn't know he was there. I swear.
Look, Frank will be alright.
I've been there with Raymond. I know what it's like when someone cheats.
You didn't do anything wrong. It was just a kiss. Take it easy.
Yeah, and at least he knows where he stands now.
Yeah, thanks to you! Maybe we should get you home.
Here. Kerri-Ann, look, I'm sorry!
You're still here, then. Yeah.
I got as far as the bus stop. What made you change your mind?
I got a text from my da. He's back on the road.
I thought, if he can make the big step, so can I.
I think you made the right decision. Things are different now.
I've got a lot more to lose.
I hope you're not talking about me, because that ship has sailed.
(GROANS) Do you know what?
I just wanted to say that you're right.
We should be able to have a laugh at work.
Yeah. I'm up for that.
(ORLA) Oh, hey! Hey, Dolores.
Oh, Pete. It's good. It's good.
Hey. Did you hear the good news?
Yeah. It's great. Wayne's been climbing the walls.
Now it's like a weight's been lifted off him. It's great.
These things sort of help you realise what's really important.
They shed a whole new light on the rest of your life.
Do you think, Pete? Yeah.
You know, that's actually true.
It's gonna be so nice to be able to plan things again, you know?
Right, are we getting a round in? Yeah, go on.
Hey. I just heard your good news. I'm delighted for you.
Yeah, I know. It's still sinking in.
Why don't you join us for a drink?
Oh, I'm sure you want it to be just family.
Not at all. Come on.
Ah, Cass. Listen, we were just about to call over for you.
We thought you might like to go for a drink.
I'm way ahead of you.
I'd like to have a chat about moving back in.
Oh, great!
I think we can give it a try, alright.
Oh, I'm delighted.
Of course I'm going to have to rent out my own place out.
You can start to shift your stuff over as soon as you like.
That'll be grand.
Sure, you can bring that big telly over with you.
Bela's is ancient.
He can't leave his tenant without a TV.
It'll be grand. We'll swap them over.
And just so you know, we take turns with the cooking.
Two nights a week each, and on Saturdays we get a takeaway.
Yes, well, that'll be fine. Proper food, with real ingredients.
Charlie can cook. He may have developed bad habits.
He was having a ready meal earlier. That was just for convenience.
Anyway, it strikes me that anyone who has a meal handed up to them
should be happy to get it.
Come on. You can argue about this over a drink.
Right. Oh, and Charlie, would you have 20 euro, by any chance?
For what? I owe Jo.
I wouldn't like to see her out of pocket.
Think of it as an advance on my wages.
I was wondering where you all went to.
Yeah. I thought you had plans.
I, erm... I jacked them in. Are you alright?
No. I'm the most horrible person in the universe.
Decco again?
I can't talk about it. It's still too raw. I'm going to get changed.
We'll have a nice cup of tea when you come down.
I'll go up with you.
Thanks. I just want to be on my own for a while.
OK.
Just leave it with me, OK? OK. I'll talk to her tomorrow.
Yeah. And you.
So, did we interrupt you?
No. She was just dropping over something I'd left at work.
Yeah, right.
It's good to see you back to your old self, Da.
You know. Come here, big man.
Are you alright? Yeah.
I was just thinking of where we were this morning, and now.
How things can change in one day.
Look at him. I know.
I'm happy I let him talk me into this. It's done me good.
I'm glad.
And he's got me thinking about something else.
Yeah? What's that?
I had good news today. A lot of people aren't that lucky.
So I owe it to them, and to myself, to make the most of every moment.
Well said.
I mean, if you get a chance to be happy, you should just grasp it,
because nobody knows what's gonna happen.
Does that make sense? Yeah, it does.
Yeah, so we should just enjoy every moment together,
and with our families.
I'm up for that.
And we can press ahead with the wedding.
Did I hear that right? The wedding's back on?
Yes. Oh, my God! That's so exciting!
Can I make an announcement? Oh, go ahead.
Please? OK! (BELL RINGING)
Hi, everybody. Can I have your attention for a second?
As you know, we're all here tonight
to celebrate my beautiful mother-in-law
and the best nanny in the world, Dolores Molloy.
(APPLAUSE / CHEERING)
And we've got another reason to celebrate now as well.
So...
Actually, I think maybe you should...
You go on.
Well, folks, the wedding is back on.
(CHEERING)
OK! So can we all just raise our glasses, please?
To the happy, healthy couple, Dolores and Pete.
Dolores and Pete!
