Marcus: I'm sorry, you know, for the fire...
Iqbal: You've got nothing to be sorry about, if anyone's apologising it should be Craig bloody Harvey!

Iqbal: Well he has and we can't turn the clocks back...we have a burnt down club...
Marcus: Yeah but the insurance will cover surely?
Iqbal: Some of it, but we haven't got enough to do it back up just him Harvey to go doing it again...that man wants our club and he doesnt care what he has to do to get it...

Val enters the pub and sits down beside Leah who is already seated, having a drink. It's clear they don't really approve of each other.
Leah: Val
Val: Leah
Val sits down. Leah looks down at her, as if it say "why am i sitting with you?" Nick enters the pub with a pile of folders and a breifcase under his arm, looking flustered.
Nick: Hi ladies, can I get you both a drink?
Leah: Cut to the chase Nick, what's this all about?
Nick sits down opposite them in the booth, putting his folders down.
Nick: Well as you know dad's got this new lesuire complex in the pipeline...
Val: Don't we just know it![]()
Nick: Dad's given me the responsibility of assigning jobs, we want locals working there, and well you're names have come up...
Leah: Work? I don't work...
Nick: Not even as the main fintess instructor at the gym? I thought that was your thing, and well I thought you'd want something to do with your time...
Leah: Hmm, I suppose I could be persauded...
Val: And what about me?
Nick: Well after all your years at the salon...and the fact that you lost your job at the bingo hall... we want you to run the salon and beauty salon, if that's okay?
Val: Really!? You joking me!?
Nick: No, you're the best hair cutter this side of Devon...
Val: Wow! I'm dead chuffed! I'll get drinks to seal the deal!
Val runs off towards the bar, an excited look on her face.

Leah: Dya know what? Stuff the persuasion's I'll take it, need my own independance...
Nick: Great! One problem though..Craig...
Leah: What about him?

Super Mod

glad they all got out the fire ok.
It was really sweet the scene between Val and the girls.
