Episode 56 - The Burn Out

At the Dixon's Penelope and Roxy have just left:
"Right..a little  drink I think, to help me cope with the fire...yes....ummm...ok....ice...lemonade.....gin..."



"HI Dee. What you doing?"
"Oh nothing, its just lemonade."
"Yeah, I don't care...when's Gran coming home?"
"I've booked her cab so she'll be back later. Daniel are you alright?"
"Yeah..its just well, cause I started the fire, do you think she'll hate me?"
"No, no, of course she won't. It was an accident!"
"Yeah but she nearly died and the kitchen's a wreck...what are we going to do?"
"We'll be alright Daniel. This family's had its fair share of troubles but we've muddled through, we'll be fine."



"I guess. Can I go out?"
"Yeah...why?"
"Oh I need to get Tom a birthday present. He's a teen first and then I am! I can't wait."
"Ok, well don't be long..you should be here for Gran when she gets back."



At the Martin's Marc returns from work:
"Hello...I'm home...Kate? Whats wrong?"



"Nothing...I'm fine."
"Look, I know you better than this and you're not fine. Now what's wrong?"
"I got the divorce papers through from Keith today. That's it...he's definately gone and my marriage is over."
"Oh Kate, I'm sorry. You shouldn't have been expecting him back though."
"I know, I know and I wasn't but, I don't know, I guess there was a little hope. Just that he'd turn up and make things up with me."
"Whats he said about the house?"
"Well he doesn't want to sell it, and I'm not using it so I guess we'll rent it and split the cost."



"Kate, you'll be fine, come on, you know you will. I mean think back to when we hated each other...you were pretty fiesty then."
"Yeah...I guess I was.."
"And you were so strong after Carrie's death, just to help me through."
"I know and, well, to be honest, maybe I should have never married Keith. He was a great man but...I don't know, things just didn't work."
"See, be positive. You've got a house you can rent and make some money, your great with little Christopher..where is he by the way?"
"Oh he was tired so I put him down for a bit."
"Kate, I have a feeling your gonna be just fine."

"I hope so Marc, I really do."



At the Dixon's Rosy returns:
"Oh Gran, I'm so glad your home."
"I am too dear, I'm sorry to see your sister go. She was a little gem. Where's your mother?"
"She's gone with Roxy...remember...I did tell you. That's why she couldn't pick you up."
"Oh yes dear, must've slipped my mind."
"Gran, are you sure your alright?"
"Yes dear, never felt better...now, lets look at this kitchen."



"Oh dear, oh dear...it really is quite a mess isn't it. Poor Daniel, where is he?"
"I told him to be back...sorry Gran."
"Oh no trouble, I do hope he's not fretting. It was only an accident. Oh look at all these piles of soot, you'd have thought the firemen could have cleaned it up a bit."
"Gran! They saved your life! They can't do the cleaning as well."
"Oh I'm very grateful to them but look at it...I just can't...."



"Oh Goodness, how on earth are we going to afford this kitchen? We already owe so much to the builders of my flat and they didn't even finish it! Oh No...."
"Gran, it'll be alright."
"It won't dear, it won't!! How many cookies will I have to bake to make the money...oh I can't even cook any cookies now....its all too much.....oh, oh, oh!"



Its evening and at the Heppal's Laura returns:
"Oh dear, I've had such a tiring day!"
"Where the hell have you been?"
"Where the hell have I been! I should ask you the same thing...I seem to be the only one planning this little wedding!"
"Little!! Its turning into the biggest blimmin wedding anyone's ever seen. I had the florists on the phone earlier....3000 roses! Laura!! We don't need 3000 roses."
"Well we'll scrap them then if its such a bad idea!"
"And what about the 5000 lillies!"



"Oh Harry shutup, will you. I've had enough of a stressful day. The caterer's said they can't make the smoked salmon vollavons that I wanted and.."
"Hang on I thought Jennifer Tomlin was doing the catering"
"Oh come on Harry. She's a lovely lady but I'm not having,well, street cafe food at my wedding!"
"That's it! That's it! If you don't calm down and reason with me there'll be no wedding!"



"OH Harry! How could you say such a thing...."
"Laura, don't cry......I'm sorry.....I didn't mean it, I just need something that I can do."
"There's plenty to do! There's flowers, suits, limo's, invites.."
"Oh I can do them?"
"What?"
"The invites."
"Ok, you do the invites...oh I better get a pen then so we can right a list...I don't want you forgetting anyone."



Pauls' on the phone:
"Hello?..................Hello?.........................Oh, yeah, this is sooo funny! Now the 10th time you've done this!! Get a life!!"



"What's up!"
"What's up is that I've just had another prank phone call! That's about the 10th Garth...I'm starting to get annoyed!"
"What do they say."
"That's it....nothing....just silence on the other end....so annoying.."
"I hope its not Roxy trying to get through."
"Yeah how are you about that?"
"Ok, at least she came around and said goodbye...what can I do?"



"Hi Gorgeous."
"Hi Syd, your home from work early."
"Yeah I know, a mate needed some money so I let her do my night shift so you have the pleasure of my company all night!"
"Lovely, lovely. That's what I like to hear."
"Did I hear you say you had a prank call?"
"Yeah...that's the 10th tonight, they've been happening for a few days now. Its really annoying me!"

"Hmmmmmm, well I know of way to destress....come on.....lets have a nice bath together!"
"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr, you sexy women...come on.."



The next morning and Tom Heppal is cleaning up the dishes:



"Morning Tom....WOAH!"
"Hi Dad!!"
"Tom....I'm so, so sorry....I completely forgot about your birthday. That's something your mother would have reminded me about and what with the wedding. Oh Tom, I'm so sorry."



"Dad. Are you serious?"
"Tom, I don't know what to say!"
"How could you!! Its my teen birthday and you forget!! Your the worst Dad ever!"
