Ed: What’s the plan, then?

Shaun: Right. [cuts to dream sequence] We take Pete’s car, we drive over to Mum’s, we go in, take care of Philip—‘I’m so sorry, Philip’—then we grab Mum, we go over to Liz’s place, hole up, have a cup of tea, and wait for this whole thing to blow over.

Ed: Why have we got to go to Liz’s?

Shaun: Because we do.

Ed: But she dumped you!

Shaun: I have to know if she’s all right!

Ed: Why?

Shaun: Because I love her!

Ed: All right...gayyy...I’m not staying there, though.

Shaun: Why not?

Ed: If we hole up, I wanna be somewhere familiar, I wanna know where the exits are, and I wanna be allowed to smoke.

Shaun: Okay. [cuts to dream sequence again] We take Pete’s car, go round Mum’s, go in, deal with Philip—‘Sorry, Philip!’—grab Mum, go to Liz’s, pick her up, bring her back here, have a cup of tea, and wait for this whole thing to blow over.

Ed: Perfect!

Shaun: No, no, no, no, no, wait, we can’t bring her back here.

Ed: Why not?

Shaun: Well, it’s not really safe, is it?

Ed: Yeah, look at the state of it.

Shaun: Where’s safe? Where’s familiar?

Ed: Where can I smoke? [Shaun and Ed pause, then slowly make a realization]

Shaun: [cuts to dream sequence a third time] Take car. Go to Mum’s. Kill Phil—‘Sorry.’—grab Liz, go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over. How’s that for a slice of fried gold?

Ed: Yeah, boyyyeee! [Shaun and Ed clang their weapons together]
