JOHN: And then I cut them off (Josie - do you?) .. Depends how serious it gets.. Like I'm all up for like a flirt and all that! But um.. And like.. Stuff about.. But um.. If I feel like I'm gonna hurt someone.. Then I start feeling bad .. It's alright to like.. Mack on with someone if it means something.. But if they start to genuinely like you and you're macking on with them .. It gets a bit serious, don't it? And that's when you can start hurting peoples.. I'm scared of hurting peoples feelings .. As stupid as that sounds.. Because of what I said .. because of the way I reacted with Rachel and you.. But deep down - I care a lot .. And I felt really bad when Rach left.
JOSIE: (surprised) Did you?
As well as it tearing John's heart up inside that their relationship was failing; it was probably killing John knowing that he was responsible for hurting Josie too. The BIB and italics is very profound and is an admittance that he DOES care very much (
about hurting anyone).. and I suspect he always will. So depending on how John worded the e-mail to Josie I can understand how Josie would interpret the message as him hating himself for his behaviour. I can't imagine he would have been proud of the things he had said and done in contributing to the downfall of their relationship and friendship.. and that will no doubt weigh and prey on his conscience for the rest of his life.
JOHN: Yeah, when I heard the boos and that - yeah.. That's when it hit me how much I cared, yeah. I really wanted to um.. I really wanted to say goodbye to her and that.. And obviously she didn't get a lot of time .. And um..
JOSIE: (Scolds playfully) Come on! No time to talk. Chat while you throw..
JOHN: Yeah.. That's when it clicked..but we sorted things out before she left anyway.. I'm glad we did though..
JOSIE: Yeah because you woulda felt really st!(
SC Just like they both probably felt that things were never really resolved between them)
How long have we been doing this for?
JOHN: I dunno, about 15 minutes or somethin'.
Nathan has sat by the sofas and is now chatting with John about Dave yapping. John thinks the glass to the bedroom must be really thick as he can't hear 'jack sh-t!.. I hope Sunshine didn't put her sh-t in my drawers!" Shabby and Govan come in too. John laughs that it's always the same people that are out at night and the same that get up early. He says he only gets up with the alarm so it stops ringing!
JOSIE: On my application form they said 'what do you do when you get bored?' And I said 'only boring people get bored!' And they just used my line on me!!
John giggles and Govan gripes that the alarm 'anger's him. John says it's the lights that p--s him off.
JOSIE: Can you start giving me a few harder ones?(She's referring to John throwing the sock ball harder before any of your smutty minds go into overdrive!! I know what the smut corner is like .. not that we seem to have one these days)
GOVAN: I'm just waiting for one of them to break something.
JOSIE: (taunts teasingly) You can't catch my harder ones, John!
JOHN: (Banters back) Oh SHUT UP!!
The smile barely wipes away from John's face the entire time he plays the game with her. Beautiful to watch
Josie declares that she'd 'love to play tennis.' John agrees "that would be good!" Govan tells them to give it some gusto. John asks Josie where she learnt some throw
"the Sandlot Kids?" (He really IS a fan of that film!!) Nathan, Govan, Caoimhe and Shabby are all at the sofas watching now as they laugh. They begin with their chorus of orgasmic oooh's and ahh's - Nathan compares their spectatorship to
"being in a really sh-t orgy!" Shabby tries harmonising with her oooh's. They go on and on distracting them from their play and embarrassing them both. John thinks they were really good before they came along Josie is annoyed that they are putting her off!
They keep cranking the oooooh's up and tell JJJ they want to climax!! John and Josie continue to banter throughout,
"don't blame it on the throw!" trying to ignore the idiotic nature of those surrounding them on the sofas. John accidentally lobs one towards Caoimhe so Govan berates him in an Irish accent
"there's no need to throw it at Caoimhe like that!"
Ife is at the sofas too as the sexual sounds go on and onnnnnn!!

Govan titles the game 'climax catch' and Nathan points out that John and Josie have "lost your rhythm!" Shabby cheekily checks with John if Josie was any good at this before. John says she was but Josie again acknowledges
"I was! But your oooh-ing and aaah-ing is putting me off!" Nathan crudely comments
"it's getting me off!
Josie swaps for a larger-sized sock to continue the game. Caoimhe doesn't look particularly enthralled being a bystander but soon carries on with the oooh's.
JOSIE: John just doesn't want to make you bust a nut!
CAOIMHE: (Crows) I thought you came in 15 seconds, John!
JOHN: (plays along with good humour) Yeah, I know I'm trying to get there.. Josie's not ..
The oooh's and ah's return after Josie asks where they are.
JOSIE: I want you to bust nuts - now come on!
They begin to throw the sock back and forth more quickly and ferociously. Govan and Caoimhe tell Josie she is a
'selfish lover' when she drops the ball as they'd nearly .. Got there
JOSIE: What you talking about? you just pulled out!(
John's face is a picture of amused shock!)
MARIO: (Suggestively suggests) John, get your penis closer to Josie! (
Which is met with stunned silence but no objections)
Josie thinks she is getting 'sh--ter!' And realises "you just can't be bothered now can you, John?" Govan moans "mmm sock it to me!!" (Long Soundcut due to HM's singing!)Govan fills John in someone's taken her pillow so she's taken yours that's the God's honest truth
GOVAN: (imitating John's accent)What's up JJ? JJ? JJ?!! Do you have hearing problems? (when John does not reply. John says he doesn't and wonders 'why? So Govan again queries in a serious manner)
but do you? Honestly? (John murmurs that he hasn't, so Gov snipes)
You're just ignorant then! (SC)
GOVAN: She's playing you boy, she's playing you!! (As Sunshine told some of the group she'd taken John's pillow and that it was going to 'kick off!')
IFE: But not in a nasty way..
GOVAN: (backs this up) No, no, no - like in a cheeky, fun, playful way! We should call her FUNSHINE! Isn't that the name of a carebear or something?
JOHN: (Groans) She's definitely not fun! No, I like her .. I don't mind her! I like winding her up though since she insulted me! (
John and Josie still continue to chuck the ball around)
JOSIE: (Enthuses) I quite like this! (them playing ball together) (SC for an entire minute!)
Josie and John tell Govan that they have to chat in the living area from now on as
'people were harking up about that' (their night-time chats!) Govan demands to know who'd said that (PARTY POOPERS!)
JOSIE: (Grasses up) EVERYONE! .. Um the priest!
JOHN: (Jokes) What's he gonna do about his snoring then?
JOSIE: I'm gonna start playing with my left hand.. (as she wants to make it stronger)
GOVAN: (Storms out of the room in mock jealousy) Can you two stop flirting?! You make me sick! (
This ignites a broad beam on Johnny boy's face)
JOSIE: (Feigns innocence) What? By chucking a pair of socks around? (
She pretends she doesn't know how what they are doing could constitute flirting)
GOVAN: (Evocative) Oh, Josie there's a wet patch on the floor where you're moving babe!!!
JOHN: (Taken aback) Whaaaaaat?!! (But the comment fails to wipe off the dazzling smiles from their faces as they re-commence their game) What did he say?
Most of the HM's leave them be to go in the kitchen.
JOSIE: (Repeats Govan's remark) There's a wet patch on the floor where I've been looking at you! (John smiles with bewilderment and they laugh in spite of themselves)
I think everyone thinks that we fancy each other, John! (
John "hey? so Josie has to repeat her comment for him)
JOHN: (Agrees) I think they'd like to think that - definitely! 100percent .. Of course! They always look for um.. romances in here, don't they? If it's possible.. I don't doubt that when I leave my first question will be 'what's going on with you and Jose?
JOSIE: I'm gonna say yeah!
JOHN: I'll wind em right up, don't worry. I'll have a field day with it, I'm not scared .. As long as they don't say 'what's going on between you and Sunshine?' I'll be alright.
JOSIE: I'm gonna say.. Um.. 'Yeah he really wanted me but ah.. Obviously I had to say no!'
JOHN: (laughs along) Oh yeah, obviously (!!)
JOSIE: Because he's got too much of a bad temper!
Ife tells John she's painting her nails which is something she'd never do in the outside world.
JOHN: (Not wanting to seem unmanly, pretends) Yeah, me neither (!) Although mine were painted before I came in with Mum's non-chip!
Josie apologises for a sh-t throw and warns John she's gonna make it (the catch game, smutties!) a bit harder for him now.
JOSIE: We'll try and fasten it up now, right?
JOHN: (
With such sweetness, I turned into goo) Okay! You've got so much better within the last .. like hour! At the start you were catching like Ben but now you're going alright'!! (shows Josie how she was originally catching)
JOSIE: You don't use any co-ordination for a while, do you?
JOHN.. I find it SO strange that some guys aren't co-ordinated like that .. I find it really, really strange that some men aren't co-ordinated like that!
JOSIE: (Points out) But you said you can't dance!! That's co-ordination!
JOHN: (Concedes) I suppose it is.. I can dance.. I've got no rhythm though. My friends are really good at .. Cos 2 of my friends are DJ's and they're really good at picking up beats but.. They can pick songs before they come on - like REAL early! I can't do that .. I'm never really into ... I'm into music but.. (
Ife asks if they can recognise songs from the instrumental part) yeah they can pick a song as soon as it's mixing in .. They're really good!! .. But I don't even know what I'm listening for (as Ife says it is more to do with your ears and memory) I suppose you've gotta have a lot of knowledge of songs.. But they're riiight into it - that's their thing.. My things obviously football! .. But I listen to weird stuff like Britney Spears!
JOSIE: (can't believe her ears and laughs) You are sooo.. (is unable to even find the word to appropriately describe HIM)..
JOHN: I love Britney Spears I went to her concert! (Her Circus tour, he says it was amazing and she's made a little bit of a comeback) S
he was pretty rude but I still like her! People were waiting outside of her hotel for DAYS.. Just to get a glimpse of her on her verandah or whatever .. She wouldn't come out!
JOHN: (Tells Josie) If you had caught that I woulda given you a tenner!
JOHN (Moans) Are we ever gonna get the full 500 for our shopping task or what?! I'm still bleeding over not getting that garbage bag! God, that hurt so bad! I haven't been thaaaat angry for a while!
JOSIE: (Guffaws in disagreement) Urm.. I think you HAVE!
Ife asks if he got Rachel's suitcase back as she thought they hadn't been given a prize. John explained it wasn't anything to do with him but he'd asked if Ife could at least get her suitcase back as she'd passed their part of the task. Ife and Josie both thought John had got Rach's suitcase back. John "I don't know" Josie and Ife are happy when BB announces the hatch is open for a new lighter.
JOHN: (boos) Are you going out for a smoke? (not quite ready for Josie to leave his side as he's enjoying her company)
JOSIE: No. I've just brushed my teeth! I don't smoke after I've brushed my teeth.
JOHN: (Pleased to hear this) You're giving up a little bit aren't ya?
JOSIE: I don't smoke that much.
JOHN: You should give up, Ife!
JOSIE: Yeah but you've started!
JOHN: I'd never puffed on one of them before. So I thought if I'm gonna do it.. At least now I'll remember when I did it.
JOSIE: You know ping pong? (John "yeah!" as Josie recounts) when I was in Thailand I bought this ping pong set and I used to pay this like Thai person to play with me for hours!
JOHN: (Enthusiastically) I could do this for ages too
IFE: Looking at Josie I think we should have her on our team next time too!! (For rounders)
Josie wants to spice up the game and speed up the throwing
"try and do some twists when you're throwing." Nathan comes out in a huff as Dave is chatting loudly in the bedroom.
JOHN: (jests) You can't blame me Seahorse! (
Knowing full well he's not the one responsible this time!)
After Nathan walks out into the garden, John and Josie snigger like naughty school kids.
JOHN: When he snaps I hope I'm not here for it! Cos it's coming!!
JOSIE: I bet he's got a bad temper he's got a monobrow!" (SC)
JOHN: I don't think he'll get physical but he'll.. (Ife - put you in your place) yeah! I saw him get a little bit wound up when Benny came in and gave his speech .. Benny came in and gave his apology or whatever around the whole table.. I could see Nathan get a little bit twitchy in his eye, I thought 'oooh!' [i](Ife says she gets that with him.)[/I
]Do ya?! I don't mind if people think I get a bit angry but I don't want people to be scared .. Of me. I don't like that feeling. Cos I'm not like that! Because I.. I..
IFE: I can tell when you're not happy like around the table that day.
JOHN: I was getting real wound up that day!
*Saucy snippet from Govan in the garden (to Nate, Ife, Caoimhe and Shabby as they smoke away like chimneys)
"John and Josie would be getting it on behind the clothes horse!!"
This is a bit of a crude thing for me to be curious over but I do wonder potentially how much longer John and Josie could have 'held out' in the house.. towards the end they were H'obviously eager to get out and get it on .. and we know they got a bit cheeky under the covers. I think even if they had been in there just 2 weeks longer together they would have struggled to resist any more
Any thoughts?

As Nathan makes his way to bed he has to cross JJJ's game of football.
JOHN: (Exhorts Nathan) watch out she doesn't wanna lose!
JOSIE: I've saved 1 haven't I? (In the penalty shoot out , out of 3 kicks)
JOHN: (Giggles) Is Nate still watching or has he gone?"
Josie does comedic run ups when she is trying to shoot against goalie John. She asks again "how many did I save?" John answers "1!" They both laugh at how seriously she is taking her shooting! She groans when she misses and pulls up the collar of John's hoody she's wearing. John giggles
"I love how you look! You're trying to be a trickster!" "Go Jose" Josie uuuuugrrrrhs when she loses
"you've won haven't you?" John simply states "yeah!" They laugh at her sore loser-ness.
JOHN: Right, let's go! Are you going to bed? (Josie is not)
** had to cut this as it was TOO long!! DS has never said that to me before!
