Birthdays galore!
It’s Fallon’s today.
Adam and Chris on Friday.
And was Usha’s the other day.
[Alice] “You don’t look very chirpy to say you’ve got a night out planned”
Adam’s just utterly knackered.
Brian’s being decent
But only because Jennifer’s told him to be.
He catches Adam trying to grade lambs (to then be taken to the abattoir).
[Brian] “But it’ll be who ends up in the doghouse if you do yourself a mischief!”
Ah, nothing like a stepfather who genuinely cares for his stepson.
Anyhoo, Brian helps Adam see to the lambs. They set bets on how many lambs will end up being big enough to go to slaughter. The winner gets pints of shires.
Brian even makes sure Adam sits down to eat (Jennifer has sent them over a fruitcake).
[Brian] “You know what she’s like. She’ll probably carry on an inspection when we get back!”
Before Amy spoke to Carl
[Alice] “I hope the canteen’s decent.”
(my oh my, what priorities Alice has! She wants a decent cuppa while her best mate is having to front up to the man who broke her heart.)
Alice has driven Amy to carl’s work.
[Amy] “If Carl and I get back together … he’s a good man, I’m sure of it … I just want to be sure you’ll be okay about him and me.”
Hmmm …
Amy spoke to Carl
For starters, Carl made Amy wait in reception for him.
When he did ordain to come down to see her, he bundles Amy off into the car park. Then shouts at her.
[Carl] “What the hell do you think you’re playing at Amy?”
[Alice] “I know … I’m sorry … I had to talk to you.”
[Carl] “And you didn’t think to call first and ask to meet up?”
[Amy] “Would you have answered my call? I didn’t want to come here. I had thought we could talk at your apartment …”
(she tells him that she knows he wasn’t there last week, which he twigs means she’s been stalking him)
[Carl] “Look, Amy, why don’t you give me a call in a day or so … meet up for a cup of coffee … I can’t do this, this is ridiculous. Anyone could come out here.”
But as he also happens to need a cigarette, he agrees to stand a bit away with her to talk.
(I’m on day 9 of not smoking, by the way … still hard to even hear other folks talking about them smoking)
[Carl] “So what do you want from me … what do you want me to say?”
[Amy] “It’s not like I expect some sort of explanation … it’s me who should explain.”
Which she does. Amy tells Carl it’s her fault for pushing Carl too fast. That he was the first man who meant anything to her.
[Amy] “You’re special. And I realise it was stupid to push you like that … a man like you, I know you’ve got commitments.”
[Carl] “Amy, have you come here today to ask me to take you back?”
[Amy] “Yes … of course, I didn’t think … I didn’t think that you’d need time to break it to your wife.”
Carl starts laughing at Amy.
Amy then tells him that she knows he has a daughter.
Carl starts to get annoyed.
[Carl] “Have you been following me?”
He demands to be reassured that Amy hasn’t spoken to his wife and kid, and that she won’t ever have contact with them.
[Amy] “I can wait …”
[Carl] “You really are a piece of work, do you know that … why, in your wildest dream, do you imagine I’ve leave Rochelle for you … Rochelle is a top paid, highly qualified lawyer. She’s beautiful intelligent and well respect. We live in a lovely house in one of the most sought after areas in the county. We have lots if high flying, influential and important friends. Why would I pack all that in for a midwife, in the NHS, with a vicar for a dad?”
[Amy] “But I love you!”
[Carl] “And? … you really are that naive,. Aren’t; you!?!”
[Amy] “Doesn’t that mean anything to you? Someone saying they love you means nothing?”
[Carl] “You don’t what love means.”
[Amy] “Do you?”
[Carl] “Go home Amy. We’re done.”
[Amy] “How can you go from that, from being so gentle and romantic and living to being so cruel?”
[Carl] “I’ve gotta go.”
[Amy] “How do you know you know I won’t tell your wife what you are?”
[Carl] “Do you think she’d take any notice of you?… she’d take you to court for slander or may just think you were some deluded stalker with a crush on her devoted husband,. Which you are.”
[Amy] “You bastard!”
(at last!!!!!!!)
After Amy spoke to Carl
Back in Alice’s Carl, Amy is a bit upset … to say the least.
[Amy] “I hate him … all that stuff he said to me, everything, it was just a lie … he didn’t mean any of it, he played me. He used me. How could he do that to me?”
Well, at least the penny has finally dropped for Amy.
Maybe she can go back to be a nice, stable, normal, sane young lady again. We can just never talk of her teenage tantrums ever again.

Not to mention Amy's hypocrisy. She doesn't like it when Usha thought she might have knowingly had a relationship with a married man - and then wants to restart a relationship with a married man
That's a fair point indeed. Being in 'love' for the first time really has blown all of Amy's common sense!
