What did they say...?

[boyswillshagboys]

I don't live in the UK but having seen so many different British, Scottish and Irish shows and movies and talked to people from around the UK, I am used to all the different dialects and phrases. I love the British and their speech, it's so much more colourful than the American slang.
I love it!

(Knock on door)
Jackson: Come in!
Aaron: Hiya.
Jackson: ...
Aaron: I... uh... saw your van. ... ... Still working on this place [Declan's] then, eh?
Jackson: Yeah. It's a little (snag in/snagging?) job.
Aaron: I... uh... wondered if you'd maybe('ve) fancied a pint.
Jackson: (indicating the sink he's fixing) (I'd) Best get this done.
Aaron: ... Yeah. ... Well... I'll see you later then.
Jackson: Yeah. See yah.
Aaron: Good luck with all that. [the fixing of Declan's sink]
Jackson: (in tongue & cheek tone ;D : (I) Don't need luck... when you got my skills!
Aaron: (cracks a smile ;D) Well, I'll take your word for it. (about to leave but decides against it) How long will it take yah?
Jackson: Approximatelyyyyyy... forever, if I don't get on with it.
Aaron: (raises his eyes to heaven ( I'm guessing that he feels stupid for asking a question like that, knowing how Jackson would respond with his sarcasm like that )) Actually, I was, em, I was going to see if you maybe fancied having a proper ( : night out.
Jackson: ... Well... 'was' or 'are' ?
Aaron: Are (being self-conscious about grammar - I was pleasantly surprised at this... ;D probably because I like 'fun with grammar' ) Am. Do yah (want to go out)?
Jackson: When?
Aaron: (said more as a suggestion than an assertion He's like a new man, he is, our Aaron ;D) Tonight?
Jackson: Yeah. Tonight's good for me.
(Aaron smiles)

Scene 2 - Outside Paddy's house

Marlon: (on the mobile to Eli, while carrying a load of cans of alcohol to Paddy's) I don't see how that's my problem. ... Oh?!Well perhaps you should have thought about that in the first place! Rather - (drops some cans) EUUGGGH!! (looks at Paddy for help, but Paddy just looks at him from his doorway while in a pair of slippers) Feel free to stand there and not help in the slightest.
Paddy: I'm in me slippers.
Marlon: (sighs) (to Eli on phone) Yep! (Paddy decides to risk dirtying his slippers and ventures out on tiptoe on his lawn towards Marlon ) (to Eli) No! I'm listening! I'm 'ere. I'm listening. Yes! Unless you get someone very quickly, something awful's gonna happen to yah! Th- the thing about that is, if I send you money (Paddy does the daintiest of leaps towards Marlon ;D ) something awful's gonna happen to me. I'll have no money! ( ;D lol) Goodbye. Hmmm? ... (sarcastic) Yeah yeah yeah! I'm a terrible brother. Yeah yeah yep yep. I'm ashamed. Yeah. Give my love to the highlands! (ends phonecall)
Paddy: Was that Eli?
Marlon: He's in (...?)
Paddy: Oh?! That's not the highlands.
Marlon: (sarcastic) Oh... well.. forgive me Mc..... Alex Samand (?)
(They head into the house)
Paddy: What' he (Eli) up to anyway?
Marlon: Telling lies to get money. (inside the Smithy) What are we?
Paddy: I dunno. A bit of (Lecoid?). A bit of boxing.
Marlon: (confused at Paddy's use of the word boxing) Huh?
Paddy: Xbox.
Marlon: That is a rubbish abbreviation. (sighs) Eli on the scrounge, us playing games [Xbox], (doing an impression) "life moves on pretty quick baby!"
Paddy: Yep! What else do you want to do?
Marlon: Hmm! (they both end up in the doorway of the living room - Marlon moves his head towards Paddy and it looks like he's trying to kiss him. Paddy bats him away immediately Marlon does it again and Paddy swats him away a second time :
Paddy: (high-pitched) What are you doing???
Marlon: What do you think...? I'm not trying to... ... something smells nice!!!
Paddy: Well it's NOT ME! ... It's Aaron, been tarting ( ) himself up to go out.
Marlon: Wooly. [The Woolpack]
Paddy: Town.
(They give each other a look of thinking about gatecrashing Aarson's night out instead of having a less interesting night in)

Scene 3 - Andy, Marc & Ryan's bachelor pad (well... obviously Ryan isn't there at the moment )

Jackson: (on the mobile to taxi firm) Yeah. But that was half an hour ago! (There's a knock on the door) Coming! (to taxi firm) Right. That will have to do. (Aaron comes in) Alright? Go and grab yourself a beer.
Aaron: Right. First things first, yeah. I'm sorry [about Paddy & Marlon coming along].
(Paddy & Marlon burst in, cheering)
Marlon: Alright boys! Who's gonna get one of these [cans of alcohol] down their necks?
Paddy: Give me one of them.
Jackson: Are you two coming?
Aaron: I couldn't exactly stop 'em.
Jackson: It's alright. It's fine. (to Marlon & Paddy = Maddy ? ) Go and put them [beer cans] in the fridge.
Paddy: (half stops Marlon in his tracks to fridge) 'Scuse!. ( and asks Jackson) Where's your crisps? (Jackson points to the kitchen)
Marlon: (high-pitched) Whoop whoop! This is good! (follows Paddy to kitchen)
Aaron:(to Jackson) Are you sure [about allowing Maddy gatecrash]? I could just tell them to...
Jackson: It's fine. It might even be... a bit of a laugh.
Aaron: That's doubtful.
Jackson: (to Maddy) (The) Taxi service are messing us about. So come and sit down.
Marlon: Have you got any vodka, Jackson?
Aaron: We've got beer.
Paddy: That's not gonna be enough for a lads' night out. We're having the - uh. We're having - .... ... We're having it
Marlon: Wahey! (Aaron facepalms in embarrassment) (Marlon chants) We are boys! We are boys! (Paddy corrects him in a whisper) Oh. We are the boys. (Paddy joins in) We are we are we are the boys!
Aaron: Jackson. Call that taxi firm.
Jackson: I 'ave. Three times.
Marlon: (in cheerful mood, he hands a glum Aaron a beer) Ey? What's up?
Aaron: (snatching the beer bottle from Marlon's hand) Nothing!
Marlon: Alright! (as if to say - don't bite my head off)
Jackson: (to Aaron) Relax. Yeah?
Aaron: This was mean to be just... [Aarson's night out]
Jackson: I know. (Marlon gives the cutest reaction when handing Jackson a beer ;D) It's fine.
Aaron: Yeah?
Jackson: Yeah. ... But you do owe me though.
(Aaron gives a look of acknowledgement)

Scene 4 - Still in the Bachelor Pad. Aaron & Paddy are sitting on the couch.

Paddy: (pinching playfully at Aaron's face ;D Cutest thing ever ;D) ... Beautiful face!
Aaron: (annoyed - He's so adorable when he's annoyed ;D ) If you touch me again, I'll sl....
Paddy: (continues to pinch Aaron's face) Look at your beautiful face. (For me, 'beautiful' is an understatement ;D )
Aaron: Twist your wrists! (My god! I didn't hear this the first time around )
Marlon: (back from fridge with more beer) Behave!!! (sits down) When's this taxi coming, Jackson? This is all very nice, but I could sit with this one (meaning Paddy) anytime!
Paddy: What?? Only for inviting him, I might not even invite you again.
Jackson: (on phone to taxi firm) Yeah. Emmerdale to Hotten. Soon as you can, please, really. ... No! I don't know the name of the street. But it's Bar West.
Paddy: (with a bewildered look & almost spitting out his drink)
Marlon: (to Paddy, concerned) What?
Paddy: That's a gay bar. ( shock of the century that is ). (well it's a shock to Marlon )
Jackson: (in a tongue & cheek whisper to Maddy ;D) Is everything alright boys?
Marlon: (Marlon jumps in with a) Yes! ... That's where we... Bar West.
Aaron: Why? You ain't got a problem, have you?
Maddy: Nooooo. It's....
Jackson: Hmm? Really? ( I almost didn't catch this line And part of me thought that it could have been Aaron that said this ) (still on phone to taxi) Must be one of those nights. Alright. No worries. (hangs up) ( What subtle writing. ;D So the line 'Hmm Really?' was directed both at the taxi firm... and at Maddy ) (to Maddy) Are you sure there's not a problem coz it's a gay bar?
Marlon: What? Oh! No!!! No! It's fin-It's good. Gay's good. Gay's great. Gayer the better. ( That is such a memorable line )
Paddy: (sitting up & placing his beer on the coffee table) What do you mean? (gets up) And also, are we [Maddy] gonna be alright, dressed like this? Will anybody else be?
Aaron: Not in this world, probably not. (Marlon chuckles)
Jackson: (to Paddy) You're fine.
Paddy: Thank you! (to Marlon) You, however, the one they call Marlon, you look like a tramp that won a (sings) scratch-caaarrd.
Marlon: (gets up) You should see yourself mate, you look like you covered yourself in glue and rubbed through Woodstock (?).
Paddy: Do you know how much this shirt [the one that Paddy's wearing] costs?
Marlon: Forty (Groat ) (to Aarson) Seriously though, are we- are we- alright?
Jackson: You two boys going to fit right in. (opens front door) Right. C'mon. It looks like I'm going to be your taxi driver. All tips, apart from fashion ones, will be gratefully accepted.
Paddy: (to Marlon, annoyed) The gayer the better.
Marlon: I was just saying!
Paddy: The gayer the better!
Marlon: Oh shut up! (and they all head out the door)

Scene 5 - Bar West

(Marlon is pointing out something/someone to Paddy in the pub)
Paddy: Him?
Marlon: (excited) What? No no! The pool table! It's like a proper pub!
Paddy: (to Aarson) Is this it then? Are we on the scene?
Aaron: (to Maddy) Right! Are you going to show me up tonight? ( An unusual choice of words. He hardly means being shown up 'in front of the other people in the pub'. So he must mean 'in front of Jackson' - and he's talking like he wants to give Jackson a good first impression - even though Jackson knows what he's like already! )
Paddy: No.
Aaron: So, just (showing up) yourselves then?
Marlon: Where's the Chasers? ( I'm guessing that that's some alcoholic beverage? I have no idea since I don't drink! )
Aaron: Hang on! I'm on like 40p a week! ( Cain must be making him pay dearly for Mickey's vandalism :
Paddy: I'll get them. Whiskey?
Marlon: Vodka!
Maddy: Tequila!! (Maddy head to the bar while Aarson head for a table)
Aaron:I didn't do this on purpose, you know?
Jackson: Do what?
Aaron: Ask them to come, like, to hide behind, or whatever. I did just want it to be me & you (awww! ;D ) I messed up again, aren't (haven't) I?
Jackson: ( I think he's putting on a brave face here... awwww ) It's alright! It's the thought that counts.
Aaron: Thanks! (he holds Jackson's hands affectionately on the table. Jackson looks well pleased ;D )
Jackson: Just one thing though.
Aaron: (Aaron pulls away his hand) What?!
Jackson: (Jackson places his hand firmly on Aaron's arm) Try and have a good time, yeah?
Aaron: (he smiles. then spots Maddy at the bar, talking to too random athletic looking blokes)
Paddy: (to the two random guys) So do you both work out together, like, --- Marlon: (interrupting) Oh! --- Paddy: ---gym? (Aarson look on in embarrassment)
Aaron: (to Jackson) It could be worse. They [Maddy] could be dancing! (Aarson chuckle ;D)

(end of Scene 5)

(Edit: Silly mistakes )

[cheerios]

Chasers are usually something you drink right after taking a shot or swig of hard alcohol. Usually juice, pop, or beer. But Maddy are obviously out for a night of big fun and lots of drinking, so they're going a bit wild.

[lauren49ers]

Thanks nomdeplume8ie. It was a little bit hard to follow last night.

[ollibear]

Hi nomedeplumi8ie, great transcripts, it must take a lot of patience to write these up for everyone.....hope you don't mind here are the bits you didn't weren't sure of......
Scene 1 - Declan's house
Jackson: Yeah. It's just a little snagging job.
(snagging, is a term used by builders and other tradesmen, it means going back to fix small problems/repairs)

October 6th 2010
Scene 2 - Outside Paddy's house
Marlon: He's in Arbroath (Arbroath is a town in Scotland)
Paddy: Oh?! That's not the highlands.
Marlon: (sarcastic) Oh... well.. forgive me Mc..... Alex Salmond (Alex Salmond is the leader of the SNP (Scottish National Party))


October 6th 2010
Scene 4 - Still in the Bachelor Pad. Aaron & Paddy are sitting on the couch.
Marlon: (gets up) You should see yourself mate, you look like you covered yourself in glue and rubbed through Woodstock (?I guess as in the festival).

Marlon: Forty groats (an old English coin, a piss take meaning not worth much)

October 6th 2010
Scene 5 - Bar West
Marlon: Where's the Chasers? ( I'm guessing that that's some alcoholic beverage? I have no idea since I don't drink! )
Chaser=basically a shot of alcohol (of any kind)….a chaser is usually a shot consumed neat after drinking a pint, a quaint old British drinking tradition…’a pint and a chaser’

Are you going to show me up tonight? was directed at Paddy/Marlon not Jackson -

show me up = to behave in a way which makes someone you are with feel ashamed or embarrassed

In the UK, a chaser is an alcoholic shot to de drunk usually after a pint of beer, lager etc.
The most common is a whisky chaser after a pint of lager, but anything really, vodka, tequila etc.
It's generally done as a means to get drunk quicker. ;D

Maybe it's a british thing

Whoops I meant that Aaron didn't want Paddy & Marlon to show him up in front of Jackson, instead of Paddy & Marlon showing Aaron up in front of the other people in the pub. I'd better go back and edit that. lol

Scene 6 - still in Bar West

(Maddy are on the dance floor, shaking their booties , Aarson are at the bar )
Jackson: (taking a photo of Maddy, dancing, with his camera phone) (to Aaron) Don't worry. I will not get you in this [the photo].
Aaron: Nah! Go on! Take one of us. (Aarson pose, as Jackson takes the photo) ( ;D ;D ;D OMFG!!!... ahem... excuse my french ... How couply was that?! ) (Aaron looks at Maddy, and sees that Marlon has spotted a stranger who is looking in Maddy's direction)
Aaron: (to Jackson) Oh! Marlon's seen him [the staring stranger] There's going to be handbags here. ( I presume that this phrase means 'a girly fight' ? )
Jackson: Shall we go down there and lend them ours?
Aaron: No. Mine cost a fortune! ( My word! Aaron cracking a joke like that one? Our Aaron?! ) Here! Try this. (gives Jackson a sip of his drink, which Jackson does through Aaron's straw) ( Ok! Now they're sharing drinks now ;D )
(Jackson appears overwhelmed by the strength of it)
Aaron: Handy that [the drink], ain't it?
Jackson: (Hmms in agreement) So, eh, you alright?
Aaron: (looking very content Awwww ;D ) Yeah! You?
Jackson: (pauses) .... Yeah. I'm getting there. (smiles. Aaron smiles back ;D)

Scene 7 - at the pool table in Bar West

Paddy: (runs up to Aarson who are playing pool) (in a slightly nervous and anxious tone) Shall we go?
Aaron: We [Aarson] only just got on! [to play a game of pool - presumably there was a queue]
Paddy: Yeah. But it's a bit dead in here though, ain't it?
Jackson: (seems slightly annoyed at the suggestion of having to leave ... Since they [Aarson] have been having the best night in aaaages! ;D ) What's up Paddy?
Paddy: Nothing! I'm just saying, you know... a change of scenery.
Marlon: (runs up to them at the pool table in total glee) Paddy got propositioned!!!
Paddy: He [the stranger] didn't proposition. The man up there offered to buy me a drink!
Marlon: He proposed to buy you a drink. He propositioned you... regarding... a drink. Paddy said yeah!
Paddy: I didn't say yes. I said... ... I didn't know what to do.
Aaron: Well, did you want the drink?
Paddy: No!
Jackson: (off camera... so I think it was Jackson anyway : Who is it? (Paddy, with a look of terror, spots the stranger approaching with the drink)
Marlon: Ohohoho!!
Paddy: Oh gawd!
Marlon: Ohoho! (Paddy tries to hide from the stranger) (Marlon shouting loudly) Paddy! I think you should go and get your drink, Paddy!
Paddy: (in a grimace) What drink?!
Aaron: (talking loudly and cornering Paddy) I think you should go and get your drink, Paddy!!! (lowers his voice to normal volume again) Look. Coz it's cold, ain't it? ( Does he mean 'cold' as in 'mean' or 'frigid' ? I suppose it could be both, really )
Jackson: (agreeing with Aaron) Yeah! If you accept a drink, and then disappear, it means you want him to follow you. ... It's called Kiss Chase.
Aaron: What did you [Paddy] ask him [the stranger] for?
Paddy: Lager.
Aarson: Awwww!
Paddy: (high-pitched) What?! (Marlon is giggling away to himself as he watches on)
Paddy: Right. Somebody go on over there and have a word with him [the stranger].
Aaron: Yeah, well, I mean we could do.. but it's...
Paddy: What?
Marlon: ... well it's more (cold/coat?) then, ain't it?
Jackson: (clapping his hands once) It's called a Cheeky Flirt!
Paddy: Cheeky Flirt?! I'm not (insert gobbledeegook ;D) when have I (insert gobbledeegook again ;D ) been Cheeky Flirt?
Aaron: (insert gobbledeegook) (You're going to) Look like one.
Marlon: (in a genuinely serious tone) You should go over, really.
Jackson: (Aaron takes off Paddy's glasses) Oh! This just turns into a 'take me now'. ( I have no idea if this is meant to be a line from a specific movie, or does he just me a general 'enthralled in the power of love etc ' kind of moment. ... My gut's saying the latter. )
Paddy: So come on! And go and face the music! (slaps Paddy on the backside And what an ironic line coming from Aaron )
(Paddy heads off to the stranger, leaving Marlon with Aarson)
Marlon: (to Aarson) Any - any particular reason, do you think, why - why he [the stranger] asked Paddy, and not me? (he half chuckles)
(Aarson give him 'a look' , as if to say - 'we won't go there, mate' , and walk away)

Scene 8 - still Bar West, Jackson & Marlon are sitting at a table

Marlon: Is it what you always wanted to do?
Jackson: Building? No. When I was little, I wanted to be an architect. (I was) Dead good with me Lego. But... couldn't do maths to save me life! So, this is a bit of a compromise. ( Hmmm... in the university that I go to, architecture would be more for people who'd be good at art, engineering would be for those good at maths... )
Marlon: Do you like it?
Jackson: Love it. Working outdoors, using me hands, getting about a bit, keeping fit. Can't imagine doing anything else, really. ( In light of the accident, these lines I've only just noticed their significance. ) (Looking at the discomfort of Paddy as he chats to the stranger) Should we, eh, rescue him?
Marlon: Not yet! (Jackson nearly spits out his drink with laughter ;D)
(Aaron is returning to the table, passing Paddy on the way, who stops him in order to help him get away from the flirting stranger)
Paddy: Aaron! Hiya!( to stranger) Aw! Excuse me. Sorry. I really need to - there's something really important that I need to tell me friend [Aaron].
Aaron: (amused at Paddy's desperation) And what is it? ( Oh gosh! That look as he puts his finger on his mouth... ;D )
Paddy: Can I tell you over there?
Aaron: Nah! Tell me here!
Paddy: (flustered) ... ... Do you know?! I've completely forgotten!
Aaron: Brilliant! (and leaves Paddy with the stranger and walks over to the thoroughly entertained onlookers, Marlon & Jackson )
Marlon: (to Aaron) That was mean!
Aaron: (looking well pleased with his handiwork ;D) Yeah! I know!
Marlon: Well done!!!
Aaron: (gives a chuckle - reminiscent of that extremely cute laugh that Danny gave ;D ;D ;D ;D in that interview for GMTV ... i.e. the 'good luck on playing a gay character' moment ) Thank you!
Marlon: Gents! (and departs for the toilet) ( Whereas I would have said, I'm just popping off to the toilet. )
(Jackson moves over to Marlon's seat, to make room for Aaron)
Aaron: (extremely flirty ;D : So, what are you after?
Jackson: (joking) I'm looking for my mate. He's called Aaron, he looks a little bit like you, only sort of more... (does a caricature of Aaron's expression with his own face) ( Replayed that face... I dunno how many times ;D I just love it. ;D )
Aaron: (sighs) Very funny.
Jackson: It is funny, because I haven't seen him for a while.
Aaron: ... ... (serious) See, I heard he'd gone for good. ... Just a mate, is he?
Jackson: (serious - staring with those brown eyes ;D ) ... Boyfriend. (leans in for the kiss)
Aaron: I need a cig. (kisses Jackson affectionately before leaving) (OMFG ;D That second kiss was perfectomundo!! ;D )
Marlon: (returns to Jackson as Aaron departs) Oh my god! (At least, I think that he said that - could have seem something about being 'gone long' to the toilet ) (sits down) They're queueing like women! (realises what he's just said) - I - I don't mean - (Jackson starts caricaturing Marlon's stammering face - Marco is on the money here tonight ;D ;D) - I mean...
Jackson: You mean there's a big queue?
Marlon: (relieved) Yes!!
Jackson: I get you.
(cut to Aaron who spies Mickey outside - still driving the clocked car I see ... well I guess the car was, in essence, free, since Jackson paid him back the full amount. )

Jackson & Marlon: (sitting at a table, laughing at the approaching Paddy)
Paddy: (points an angry finger at Jackson & Marlon) There's no such thing as 'the kiss chase'; and if yeh ask for a lager, it means...(gesticulates hands in a circle) you like lager.
Jackson (squeaks) I'm really sorry, Paddy! (continues laughing)
Marlon: (to Paddy) Let me get you a drink.
Paddy: No. I'm on me feet. I'll flippin' spit in them (the drinks) ( ;D) Ooooo Paddy! ) (about to go for drinks, but turns round, remembering to ask...) Where's Aaron?
Jackson: Outside. (puts two fingers to his mouth to indicate that Aaron's gone to smoke a cigarette outside) (I'm) Going outside to get some not-so-fresh air. (leaves Marlon & Paddy)
Paddy: (to Marlon) What do you want?
Marlon: Just - (indicates with his hand that he'd like Paddy to sit next to him)
Paddy: What? (Marlon slams his hand on seat, not giving an answer and Paddy sits down)
Marlon: So....what's his name? (the guy to whom Paddy was talking.
Paddy: (looks back to see if the guy is still around, then looks back at Marlon who laughs again at taking the mickey out of Paddy)

Scene 10 - Outside Bar West

Jackson: (saunters outside Bar West & notices Aaron, who is across the road, hiding by the door of a property sellers and spying on Mickey, who happens to be in town meeting a woman)
(Jackson comes up from behind Aaron ( ) and puts his hand on Aaron's shoulder) What are you doing?
Aaron: (nods his head towards Mickey & the woman making out) (As a humorous line in my head, Aaron would say... "I've taken an interest in dogging" or something to that effect )
Jackson: Leave that. It's sorted. (Mickey & the woman set off to somewhere else)
Aaron: (quite irritated) No! You gave him money! (It) Doesn't mean it's sorted!
Jackson: Look. How many times have we been through (anxious) this ?
Aaron: Look. I don't know. But every time we do, my dog's still dead. (sets off in pursuit of Mickey & woman, Jackson follows behind)
Jackson: (as they cross the road) But we were having such a good night?!
Aaron: Yeah. And we still can!
Jackson: What?! With you arrested?!
Aaron: Well I don't intend on sticking round, do I?
Jackson: After doing what? Look, you can't keep doing this. (grabs Aaron by the shoulder from behind, trying to stop him from going any further)
Aaron: (pushes Jackson back, and continues pursuing Mickey) You're the one who says don't keep things bottled up. I've got a lot of things bottled up for him, and I intend on letting him know!
Jackson: Look, if you intend on going that way, then, that's it, we're through!
Aaron: Why do you always have to be like this? ( a bit rich coming from Aaron )
Jackson: Me?! Like what?!
Aaron: Giving it all, ' it's this, or me', always having to make a choice!
Jackson: There's no choice to be made for any sane person!
Aaron: (They stop walking. Aaron turns round to Jackson) Oh, so now I'm a psycho. ( Brings to mind that line "you're an 'eadcase, and I want nothing to do with yah!" )
Jackson: (exasperated) Well, look at what you're doing!
Aaron: He (Mickey) needs sorting. (needs to be beaten up)
Jackson: Someone will ('sort him'). He's just that kind of bloke! (The kind of bloke that is always in trouble) ... ... ... (pleading) Leave him! Please!
Aaron: (continues to stare at Mickey & the woman, who've gone for a few drinks on a bar balcony) ...
Jackson: (Aaron isn't paying attention to Jackson) ... Aaron?
Aaron: (angrily) WHA' ??!!!!!!
Jackson: (forlorn and in a slight whisper) This is it.
Aaron: (almost 'terminator'-like , set on a mission to kill Mickey & not really paying attention to what Jackson just said ) Yeah, I know.
Jackson: (Grows increasingly despondent of Aaron's angry stare at Mickey and his unwillingness to listen to reason, and soon walks away)
Aaron: (Jackson's leaving, clearly, affects Aaron enough for him to snap out of his staring face)

Scene 11 - Inside Bar West

Marlon: (walking idly about the Bar West dance floor, spies a guy looking at him, who then walks towards him with two drinks in his hands. Once the guy gets close enough, Marlon says in a manner intended to let the guy down gently ) Hiya! I'm Marlon. I'm not gay.
The guy: (a little surprised at Marlon talking to him) Thanks for the update. (walks past Marlon, and kisses a woman, and Marlon realises that the guy wasn't looking at him at all, but at the woman . Marlon puts his head in his hands, embarrassed.)
Paddy: (surprises Marlon from behind, giving him a big fright) Them two [Aarson] not back yet?
Marlon: No. (Marlon can see the guy and girl laughing at him, in the background)
Paddy: What are you up to?
Marlon: Nothing!! (they both drink a shot each)

Scene 12 - Outside, at an ATM

Jackson: (taking money out of the ATM, turns around to see Aaron right next to him, but then Jackson walks away from him)
Aaron: (pursuing Jackson) Hang on!
Jackson: (continuing to walk away) No! I gave you a chance, in fact, I gave you TWO, and that is just tonight!!
Aaron: I-I-I'm (h)ere, aren'(t) I?
Jackson: Too late! And do not expect me to be your alibi.
Aaron: I don't need one!
Jackson: That good, are we? (at not getting caught for beating someone up)
Aaron: No! (Grabs Jackson by the shoulder to stop him. Jackson, as a reflex reaction, looks at Aaron's hand for a split second, possibly thinking he's going to be on the receiving end of yet another punch to the face) I just didn't do anything!
Jackson: No?? (Holds up Aaron's hand to his face so he can see it, and he can see that Aaron has messed up his hand. Aaron pulls his hand away.)
Aaron: I hit a wall.
Jackson: (sarcastically : Yeah! You hit a wall, he fall down some stairs, next time you two see each other, he owes you a beating, time after that, you owe him again ?
Aaron: I hit a wall, and then I hit a door.
Jackson: (sarcastic, yet again) Oh? (You must be) Very proud of yourself!
Aaron: I didn't get any nearer to him than when you left me. That's what you wanted, innit? (isn't it?)
Jackson: No. I wanted you to come back with me.
Aaron: Well, I didn't touch him. So what's the difference?
Jackson: (stops walking away) Between this night and most other nights out with you, not A LOT, coz they all end up with you losing it (getting angry) one way or another, and I just don't want it, mate! (begins walking away again. Aaron follows.)
Aaron: I didn't touch him.
Jackson: You hit a wall!!
Aaron: Yeah, well, the wall's not gonna be bovvered! (annoyed, upset) (And in me head, the wall has the voice of Catherine Tate, "I ain't bovvered! " lol ;D )
Jackson: (he stops again) ... ... ... One of these days, you're going to really hurt someone.
Aaron: Look... I came to find yah.
Jackson: ... ... (weepy weepy face ) ... ... Pretend that you didn't.... (starts walking away again. Aaron just stands there)
Aaron: And what's that supposed to mean? (Jackson doesn't answer, but continues walking, so Aaron shouts at him) JACKSON, WHAT's THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?!
Jackson: (slows down, stops, turns round with tear-filled eyes struggling to get the words out) ... It's... the end... ( ) ... ... for us. ( ) (walks away again...Aaron is left frozen on the spot, speechless)
