- Hey. - Hi.
Nanna, do you know how old we are exactly? (laughs)
We worked it out on the bus.
Oh, um-
Six years, two months, and four days.
(laughs) Oh, great.
- Well, come on. - Come on.
[Pam] Come on.
- Hi - Hey.
Do you gonna go through into the garden?
Is Charlie here?
No.
No, he isn't.
He didn't want anything to do with it.
(door clunking)
(laughs) What are they?
They're for you.
I mean...
(both laughing)
(light upbeat R&B music)
What if your dad walks in?
Well, then he'll go,
"Good, my daughter's chosen a man so young and spontaneous."
(both laughing)
That seems unlikely. (laughs)
What made you wanna redecorate now?
It's been six years, it's time to...
It's not like she's coming back, is she?
No.
[Pam] Oh, I found this.
I thought you and the kids could look through it.
Yeah. Thank you.
I will bring it back.
(children squealing)
(children laughing)
[Poppy] I got you.
[Jack] I got you back!
Do you still, um,
talk to God?
Not for a while.
Six years, two months, and four days.
(gentle thoughtful music)
"There's a reason people say you fall in love.
"There's a reason people say you fall...
"It was a fall. I fell.
"It was an accident."
(script rustling)
(light upbeat pop music)
Why do you keep walking like that?
I don't know. What's he like?
Who?
Cameron.
He's nice.
How nice?
Nicer than you.
That's a low bar.
[Harry] Hey!
Hey!
This is Cameron.
- Hey. - Hey.
Nice to finally meet you.
Yeah, you too.
Though I should warn you,
I'm much less interesting in real life.
(Cameron laughs)
No, I mean it.
This could be a very disappointing evening for you.
(Cameron laughs)
Um, this is my sister Emma.
Hi. I'm basically just here so she can meet you.
I'm sure that's not true.
No, it is.
- Do you want a drink? - Yes!
I think I'm gonna need one.
Come on.
It's gonna be a fun night!
- I know! - Yeah.
(people chattering) (upbeat dance music)
- Hey! - Yeah.
- Drinks. - Drinks.
- Thank you. - Take one of them.
So Harry tells me you're an actress?
Barely. (laughs)
Why would anyone want to be an actress?
Fame and fortune.
How's that working out for you?
- Not as I'd hoped. - Hmm.
I don't know why you bother.
Uh, because she's amazing,
and it's all gonna work out one day.
Thank you.
I don't know, I'm pretty drunk,
so if you remind me I said that I'll deny it.
(Emma laughs)
Anyway, cheers!
Cheers!
(door creaking)
(gentle thoughtful music)
(water splashing)
(people chattering) (upbeat hip-hop music)
Here you go.
If you're trying to get me drunk,
you should know that train has well
and truly left the station.
Joey! Come, regale us with tales of your sexual piracy!
(Joey laughs)
Joey!
(water splashes) (thoughtful dramatic music)
[Dee] So you know your ex-girlfriend, Emma?
She's not my ex-girlfriend.
Daddy, I've got one.
[Ben] A film.
One word.
[Ben] "Frozen."
Yeah!
So, yeah, her play opens on Thursday, are you going?
No.
Well, I've got two tickets, and I'm not going on my own.
Why can't Francesca go with you?
Because my wife does not enjoy the theatre.
Neither do I.
Yeah, but I'm your boss.
- Mummy! - Hello!
I've got one.
Film.
Six words.
"Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone."
- Yes. - Go.
[Ben] Ruby, what were you gonna do for "Philosophers"?
That's quite good, actually.
(both laughing)
So.
Fine, yes, I'll go.
(gentle thoughtful music)
[Emma] That's what happened to me.
I fell in love, people got hurt.
It's something that happens to you.
It's not a choice.
That's why sometimes people get hurt.
But I realise now I had no control over it.
We did an MRI,
and there's no damage to the spinal cord, so-
You are so lucky.
You are so, so lucky.
I mean, I fell off a roof, so not that lucky.
(both chuckling)
There's something we should discuss.
I'm afraid the MRI showed that you have a DIPG.
A diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma.
What is that?
I'm sorry to say it's a brain tumour.
No, I'm sorry, she fell.
I know I'm not a doctor, but you don't get a brain tumour
from falling off a roof.
She already had it.
If you hadn't have been rushed in here tonight,
you might never have known and-
So what do we do?
I'm so sorry.
There's very little we can do.
It's inoperable, I'm afraid.
(light reflective music)
[Joey] You know what the worst part of all this is?
What?
Mum's outfit.
I mean, what are we even going for, here?
(parents laughing)
See, this is the kind of thing
you'll have to keep an eye on.
What about Dad?
Well, I'd ask, but he's clearly already sanctioned
this monstrosity, so... (laughs)
This is where you make a disparaging yet affectionate remark
about one of the three women in your life.
I'm trying.
(Jeremy crying)
Joey, we can't do this.
We can't pretend everything's fine when it's not.
Okay, but I don't wanna spend whatever time...
I'm sorry.
Oh.
Joe, be honest, how do you wanna spend this time?
Talking to you.
I'm scared.
Me too.
There's a reason people say you fall in love.
It's not something you choose,
it's something that happens to you.
It's not a choice, it's a fall.
That's why sometimes it hurts.
That's what happened to me.
I fell.
It was an accident.
(audience applauding) (gentle thoughtful music)
(people chattering)
(upbeat dance music)
Hey.
Hi. I'm Dee, we spoke on the phone.
Hi, it's so nice to meet you.
Hi, nice to meet you. Congratulations.
[Emma] Thank you so much. Thank you.
Anyway, I, am gonna make an exit,
so subtle and surreptitious you-
Dee.
Yeah.
Everyone's saying how great you were.
Thanks.
Though, the tickets were free, and so is the bar, so...
Who knows right?
(Ben laughs)
Joey would've been proud.
She would've been bored
and wondered where the songs were, but thank you.
(laughs) I think I would've liked her.
I know she would've liked you.
I don't know why,
but I've been thinking about her all day today.
(gentle thoughtful music) (people chattering)
Jack was the first one to walk.
And I remember watching this tiny little thing
take his first steps, and I was so happy.
For about half a second.
And then I thought, "She's never gonna see this."
And then I started thinking about
all the other things she was never gonna see,
and I just burst into tears.
I walked off stage tonight, and everyone was so happy,
and all I could think was, "I miss my sister."
(gentle thoughtful music continues)
Right.
Better let you get back to your party.
It's work, actually.
(chuckles) Okay. Right.
(door clunking)
Who's Emma?
Jack and Poppy were talking about her.
She's, um-
She's, um, the reason I've done more babysitting
in the last six weeks than I have in the last six years.
Yeah.
She was.
She's in the play that me and Dee have just seen tonight.
What was she like?
[Ben] What, in the play?
Never seen a play in me life, Ben,
I'm hardly gonna take an interest now.
(Ben chuckles)
She was nice.
Was she someone nice or was she someone special?
She was someone special.
Were you in love with her?
Oh, no what happened? Was it...
What was it? The kids?
Was it Jess?
Mum, I don't wanna talk about Jess tonight.
(sighs) I just
- feel like- - Mum!
Let me finish.
You do know that it's possible
to love more than one person in your life.
Can you just-
- Let me finish. - Look, Mum!
Okay.
No, actually, I am gonna say one more thing.
Please don't.
I love you, and I know I have been pushing you,
but I can see now that you're not ready and that is fine.
And if you are never ready, that's fine.
All I want is for you to be happy,
and if you want it to just be you and me
and the kids forever, then that's what we'll do.
(tense thoughtful music)
(cell phone keyboard clicking)
[Josh] Hi, this is Josh.
Please, leave your message after the tone,
and I'll get back to you.
Darling.
It's your turn.
Right.
(Hannah sighs)
(gentle sombre music)
Yo.
I was just outside trying to think of what to say.
I didn't know whether to say sorry
for any time I ever hurt you or made you cry.
Because I am.
I'm so sorry.
Or to say thank you.
For playing with me.
For growing up with me.
Or just to say, I love you, because I do.
I love you more than anyone I've ever met,
and I'm gonna miss you.
Gonna miss talking to you.
(Emma sobbing)
I'm gonna need a minute.
(Emma sniffling)
(Emma exhales)
(Emma sniffling)
(sighs) Okay. What else do I wanna say?
Mum!
(door clunking)
All right.
Joey.
(Hannah light gasps)
(Emma sobbing)
All right.
I don't know what to do.
(both crying)
(gentle thoughtful music)
Hi.
(Harry laughs)
Get me out of here.
I didn't expect you back until next week.
I wanted to surprise you.
But the flight was delayed twice!
I'm sorry I missed it.
It's okay,
I didn't expect you to be here, anyway. (laughs)
You'll be glad to hear my trip to New York wasn't wasted.
I mean, work was great, but I'll tell you about that later
'cause I know you're only interested in one thing.
(gentle mysterious music) (birds chirping)
Look, I don't know if you want to...
Are you sure about this?
So, I spoke to Grandma and she, unsurprisingly, said yes.
(upbeat R&B music) (people chattering)
She wants you to have it. (chuckles)
I can't wait to marry you.
(light thoughtful pop music) (singer vocalising)
