(Moaning)
(Ben) I know you better than you know yourself
lf you screw it up again, you'll break his heart.
- (Ben) Make a decision. - You'll break his heart.
- (Ben) I love you, Hannah. - Stop, stop, stop!
(Beeping)
No matter how intense things are at home,
when it comes to work, there are some opportunities
you simply have to...explore.
- You must be Belle. Yes. Ha! - Hello.
- Tom, yes. We spoke on the phone. - Yeah.
Let's go. Ha!
(Sighs)
(Tom chuckles) Oh... Ho-ho!
l have to say, Belle, l thought your book was...
Ah, Katie, thank you. Erm... Mmm.
l thought your book was just - wow!
lt's sexy, it's uncompromising, it's risky, it's risqué.
Well, erm, that was the plan, so that's...
We think it's absolutely perfect for the big screen. DK adores it.
- And DK is...? - Dava Kristin!
Come on! She's the hottest new actress on the indie scene out there.
- (Laughs) Says the producer. - (Chuckles) That's funny.
Seriously, Belle, l think if you give us the rights to this book,
we could have a total hit on our hands.
OK, so, we already have a director attached. Leon.
He's a huge... a huge name on the circuit.
- You have no choice. You must love him. - (Laughs) OK!
So, Belle, what l suggest we do is that we fly you out to New York to meet them.
- Really? - Yeah, really.
Oh.
DK has a slot for you tomorrow. We'll get you on a BA flight tonight.
Heathrow to JFK, with a US ETA of 11:35 tomorrow.
First-class, all expenses paid, champagne on tap.
Don't tell me you're not tempted.
(Woman) Oh, my goodness. There she is, looking gorgeous.
Belle is definitely a star
Look, l'll give you my card.
Erm, well, the thing is, l can't possibly go at the moment to New York.
l just have so many responsibilities, and it's just...
l'm just asking you to think about it.
- Oh! - Ooh!
(Both laugh)
- Call me later. - OK.
Wow!
(Door closes)
Ben? Poppy?
Anyone?!
l can at least think about it.
( Funky music)
(Cheering)
(Panting) What? This is me just thinking about it...
in a very mature and adult way.
Wah!
- (Music stops) - Poppy!
(Laughs) Hi.
Are you all right?
Erm, well, l was gonna go and see my mum.
- But what if l can't handle it? - You'll be able to handle it. You'll be fine.
l was thinking... maybe you could come with me.
Really? Oh... l'm just so busy today.
(Stammers) lt would really help...
me.
The thing... Poppy, l've...
l've got to get ready for a client, so...
Oh. OK.
Erm, well, when is it?
Er...
Charlotte, hi. Erm... Something's come up. l need a favour.
- Finding the pressure too much? - No, l need you to swap a client with me.
l'll take your 4:00, you take my 2:00.
- (Man moans) - Silence!
(Belle) What?
- Not you. - Listen. You won't be in there long.
He comes in five. You just need to stick a finger...
OK.
OK?
Said it once. Won't say it again. Bye, now.
- (Yells) - (Man screams)
- Tricks of the trade, eh? - Hm.
(Mobile phone rings)
- Do you charge more? - What?
For the gross stuff.
Blowjobs... anal, golden showers.
(Mobile phone rings)
Crystal, l'm gonna have to call you back.
Would you consider yourself a feminist?
Yeah. Probably. l mean, l'm...
l believe in equality
and freedom of choice,
and l think women should be able to do what they want.
OK, this is it. This is it.
(Sighs)
- Are you gonna be OK? - Yeah.
- (Mobile phone rings) - For God's sake.
l'm gonna have to get this. Sorry.
l told you l'd call you back.
Look...you can't call me when you're stuck on a role-play.
How the hell would l know what Catwoman sounds like?
No, no, no, l think it's more like...
''Reowrrr! Reowrrr!''
- What? - Can't you come in with me?
Belle, what a lovely surprise.
Well, Poppy asked me to come, so...
Hello, darling.
When were you gonna tell me, Mum?
Were you ever gonna tell me?
Eventually. When l thought you could handle it.
Han... Handle it?
My whole life's been turned upside down. l could've gone mental.
See? This is exactly why l didn't tell her. She's so prone to melodrama.
Mum, that is so unfair! Belle, tell her. Tell her how calm l've been.
Well, l... l think all things... You've been all right.
Well, if it wasn't for you, Belle, we wouldn't all be here now.
When l entrusted Poppy to you, l didn't expect you to let the cat out of the bag.
- Hang on a minute. You can't blame me. - Mum, you sent me to live with an escort.
How did you expect the cat to stay in the bag?
Er, actually, Poppy, l think l've been very discreet.
Obviously not discreet enough.
Hang on a minute. l didn't ask her to come and live with me.
ln fact, she's just been one more thing l didn't need.
Oh, well, thanks, Belle.
- Yes, very charming, Belle. - Why are you both attacking me?
This is not my problem. You know what? You two, sort it out amongst yourselves.
(Door opens, closes)
(Sighs) Mum...
everything l thought l knew about you has been a lie.
Everything l have done l have done for you.
You've never wanted for anything.
- Mum, l'm visiting you in prison. - There's no need to make a fuss about it.
You don't understand at all, do you? You don't even fucking care!
- Don't... - Don't speak to me.
l don't want to see you ever again.
(Belle) l said l'd call you back.
No, no, no. You can't... You can't shoot Batman.
Batman's got to win! Fuck's sake!
Crystal, l'm just...
Are you all right? What... What's going on? Poppy! Poppy!
Pop... My handbag!
Fuck's sake.
Good news, Han.
l'm making Mum's tagine. We're going Moroccan.
Fucking hell. What happened to you?
Don't laugh. All right? Just...
- Don't laugh. - Looking good.
- Hey. You know what will sort you out? - No.
- Tagine. - Ben.
Come on, Poppy's out. We've got the place to ourselves.
Mm. l know she's out.
She just drove off in my bloody taxi. You know l went with her to see Stephanie?
Jesus. ls she OK?
Ben... l had to walk, yeah?
For miles.
(No audio)
l... l keep going out of my way to help her, and she just throws it back in my face.
Well, she's just found out her mum's a prostitute, Hannah.
That's not normal for everyone.
l'm gonna go and get ready for a client.
l thought you said you had the afternoon off.
- l've got commitments, Ben. - Well, when am l gonna see you?
(Knock on door)
Hello.
Ooh. (Chuckles) Come in.
- This is for you. - Thank you.
l've, erm...
l've...
l've never done this with anyone but, erm...but Charlotte.
Well, it's not a problem. l'm sure we can make something work.
- Great. - OK.
- l'll get changed in the bathroom. - Yeah, just through there.
(Sighs)
ls it terrible this is where l feel most relaxed?
Just me, a client, money changing hands -
simple, uncomplicated sex.
(Man) Mummy!
l'm ready to come out now!
What the fuck?!
- What were you thinking by not telling me? - l take it you're at the appointment, then.
- Yeah, you assume correct. - (Slapping)
Are you... Are you with a client?
No.
l'm cooking.
Charlotte, he's wearing a nappy.
- l know. Quaint, isn't it? - Quaint? No.
Oh, come on. Just... treat him like a baby.
- Like a baby? How like a baby? - Tut-tut, Belle. Can't you handle it?
(Sizzling)
Come to Mummy!
Come on.
(She sighs)
Babies, eh? They're just always thirsty.
Thanks.
Whoo!
Hungry. Ooh. Hungry boy.
Ooh!
Hmm?
(Belches)
Where could Henry be?
Could he be...
Henry? Henry, no!
That's my bag! Give me that! Bad baby!
Very bad baby!
Bath time?
- Uckie! Uckie! Uckie! - OK, OK! Uckie!
(Sighs)
Uckie.
OK.
OK?
Eeeeooowww!
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah! Eeeeooowww!
Tom, hi. l got... l got your message.
Belle, l was hoping l may have a decision from you.
lt's the end of the day. Time is ticking on your getaway.
Yeah, l know, l know. lt's just, erm...
l've had a lot on my plate. lf only you knew.
- Yeah, OK. Er... - (Henry cries)
Oh, Tom, l'm gonna have to call you back.
OK, well... if you change your mind, there is a ticket with your name on it.
- OK. - Later!
Wow! Oh!
lncy wincy spider...
(Sleepily) Again.
- lncy wincy spider - Again.
Shh. No, shh. Sleepy time now.
(Henry) Mmm.
(Door closes)
(Moans)
You OK? Yeah, great.
You know, this is my favourite hour of the week. l don't want to leave.
And when it's over, l think...
can l really go back out there, where everyone wants a piece of me?
At work, at home.
Sometimes the responsibility feels too much.
Yeah, l know, l'm supposed to be able to cope. Boss, father...
husband.
Sometimes it's just so nice
to have someone take care of me for a change.
- You know? - Yeah.
l know.
Sometimes you just have to do something for you.
(She sighs)
(Door closes)
(Footsteps)
(Turns television off)
Hey.
(Sighs)
(Poppy moaning)
ls that...
lt looks like someone went out and got themselves pretty hammered.
(Moaning)
Sounds like they're having a good time, though.
- You know, l was thinking maybe we... - Oh, Ben!
What?
No, l can't believe she's doing this.
l was going to suggest that maybe we go out and maybe talk.
No, l'm not gonna let her behave like this in my house!
You're overreacting.
- Oh, am l? - Yes.
(Moans)
- What are you doing? - lgnore her.
She's just some sad old hooker.
- Excuse me? - But don't worry. l won't make you pay for it.
- l'm not that sort of girl. - Get out.
Get your stuff. Get out. Get out.
l can't believe you just did that. You can't just do that!
Poppy, it is not OK for you to just shag random men off the street.
Why? That's what you do!
What were you thinking, letting her bring someone back like that?
Come on, it's not that bad.
Ben... she's supposed to be our responsibility.
No, she's supposed to be your responsibility.
l didn't ask for any of this, did l?
All l wanted to do was move in here with you and try and have a normal relationship.
l can't believe you just let her walk all over you. lt's fucking embarrassing.
You're making me sound like l'm a twat for being nice.
Ben, she's 19 years old!
Yeah, and she's just had a fucking massive shock!
l think you forget how hard it is, Han.
- Not everyone... - Oh, God, give me a break.
Not everyone can take this kind of shit in their stride.
The lies you told, the lies you have to tell,
the constant fucking insecurity!
Do you know what, if you think about it, this is a completely fucked-up situation.
Yeah? Well, then maybe you shouldn't have moved in with me
and my fucked-up situation.
(Ben) Han?
Hannah?
New York City!
Here l come...
- You're amazing. - l know.
(Charlotte) But I suppose you miss yourdarling Belle.
Good riddance to her.
Shall we make ourselves an Oscar-winning picture?
(Squeals)
l want you inside me so bad.
Oh, my.
Can we really sink our teeth into your story
if we're afraid to get our hands even a little dirty?
- (Moaning) - And cut!
- Oh, stop! - (Man) Oh, yes!
