Transcript

(Gavin is in his room, wearing a robe. He walks to the balcony doors and opens them slightly to look outside. He closes the door and sits down in front of the camera..)

Gavin: (Sighs, playing with his hair.) I posted a blog a few days ago asking you guys for some help. Um, to help me get Charlie back. And it was sort of- It was supposed to be like, uh, like a "Subservient Lee" thing. You know? I was expecting you to say things like, uh... "Dress up as cupid", or, um, "do a Tony Hadley impression", or... And I- I was half expecting somebody to say something like write her a sorry card in my own blood or something. But it wasn't like that. You actually all wrote to tell me just to... sort my life out, and get myself together. (Sniffs his armpit.) And you know what? You are absolutely right. So... (Gets out a piece of paper.) Stephanie Gibson, Opladybug, Anna, Claire W-, Punk Rock Princess, Kianna F, Lynsey C, Steven P, and- and every one of you out there who care enough about me to actually tell it like it is, thank you. (Claps his hands together, rubs them, and then gets up to leave.) Oh, and Darriin F'n Aitch, you need help, mate. Headbutting a girl's never gonna get you anywhere. (Shakes his head.)

(Cut to Gavin in the bathroom as music starts to play. He turns on the shower and tests the temperature with his hand. Gavin throws one sock at a time at the camera and then takes off his robe. In the shower, Gavin holds the curtain as an attempt to hide himself from the camera. He washes his chest and then his leg. Gavin exits the shower with a blue towel around his waist and dries his hair. He puts cream on his nose, balm on his lips, and then puts his robe back on and leans toward the camera.)

Gavin: I'm back!

(Cut to the street outside Charlie's office. The camera catches Charlie leaving.)

Gavin: Wish me luck! (Runs to catch up with Charlie.) Charlie! Charlie, wait! Hey! Hey, it's me! Charlie!

Charlie: I don't want to see you or hear about your stupid ideas to win me back, Gav, it's not gonna work. Don't even- No, don't even bother. (Starts to walk away.)

Gavin: No, no. Hey, hey, I know it won't work. I know it won't work. Listen. Listen. You won't hear any stupid ideas from me, okay? I-I-I know I was wrong to try and win you back like that. Just hear me out, okay? (Charlie shakes her head.) I acted like a- a complete doughnut, I know. You know? That software thing, it had me all upside-down and confused about what was important and what wasn't, but you know, that- that's over now. Yes, I'm sorry I smelt like a rodent carcass, but let me help you f-find those girls. Bollocks to Terrence and the plan. Just... Just come home and we can start all over again.

Charlie: (Shaking her head.) It's not gonna work, Gav.

Gavin: (Laughs.) I'll let you keep your socks on...

Charlie: What?

Gavin: Honest.

Charlie: What's the matter with you?

Gavin: I'm madly in love with you and I don't want you to leave me. Come on, you're not gonna... (Puts his hand on Charlie's shoulder.) Make me lock you in my office for a whole weekend so I can get my way again, eh? (Laughs.) Come on, just the weekend, and then we'll take it from there. No strings.

Charlie: One condition.

Gavin: Name it.

Charlie: You clean your room, and you take down your Wall of Hate.

Gavin: Consider it done.

(Gavin puts his arm around Charlie and the two set off down the street together. The camera pans up to catch Gavin kiss her on the cheek.)
