That Love Podcast presents: That British Love — Episode 5: Pregnancy Tests, Panic, and Proper Chaos


Format/Genre: A heartfelt audio rom-com combining emotional storytelling, laugh-out-loud comedy, romance, and life's biggest surprises.

Logline: When an unexpected pregnancy scare turns Marc and Scarlett's world upside down, they discover that love is often tested long before happily ever after begins.

Episode/Project Summary:

What starts as an ordinary morning quickly becomes unforgettable when Scarlett begins feeling unwell, sending Marc into full panic mode. As emotions run high and possibilities begin racing through everyone's minds, even Dan unexpectedly becomes the voice of calm amid the chaos.

Between pharmacy visits, awkward conversations, hilarious misunderstandings, and honest confessions, Marc and Scarlett discover that facing life's biggest uncertainties is much easier when they face them together. Their relationship continues growing stronger as they learn that real love isn't built during perfect moments—but during imperfect ones.

SPEAKER_00

I don't want to do this.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, and I didn't want to come all the way here for the sights, Dick.

SPEAKER_00

Why did you come?

SPEAKER_03

To get front row seats for this train wreck of an event. Why else, jackass?

SPEAKER_00

Look, we talked and she made it clear it was over. This is only gonna be agony for me.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, then this trip will definitely be worthwhile.

SPEAKER_00

Look, I need to go back home and just forget her.

SPEAKER_03

You could do that. Where would I get my fun from? Where will I get the source to make fun of you? It's not only your happiness on the line here, bud.

SPEAKER_00

You're a You're a great. I've run out of ways of calling you a dick.

SPEAKER_03

You need to fight for her. I wouldn't be the bud I am today if I let your relationship die.

SPEAKER_00

I mean, I'd welcome it, but But what?

SPEAKER_03

I have no butt. I need it to die. I need to be the only one in our friend's circle to have a good girlfriend.

SPEAKER_00

This is a mistake.

SPEAKER_03

Look, in all seriousness, that said, I doubt I will be. It is me, after all. What's your point? I don't think there was one. Unbelievable. Got it. You haven't spoken for three days. You've been avoiding the talk. The longer you avoid each other, the further you pull apart. And I lose my feeling of joy at watching your life die. I can't risk it.

SPEAKER_00

Why are you even doing this? I know you. You don't have the spirit to be whatever it is you're doing right here. What's your angle?

SPEAKER_03

Mama June's precious little boy and my best friend. I don't need an excuse to help you. That said, what would be valuable in this situation?

SPEAKER_00

Bro, I know you. You never do anything, anything, unless there's something in it for you.

SPEAKER_03

Mama's worried and she asked me to fix this for you. And in return, I get permission to marry Terry.

SPEAKER_00

Seriously? You want to marry Terry? No, no, no, wait. Hold on. You think Terry will marry your broke ass? Oh my god, it's comedy central in London today.

SPEAKER_03

But my heart beats for her. And if you tell anyone outside the two of us I said that, I will kill you. I mean it, dummy!

SPEAKER_00

I get it, Dick. Look, can you promise not to make things worse for Scarlet and me? It's fragile.

SPEAKER_03

I won't, I think. I'm tempted to because of my character, but I'll really try not to.

SPEAKER_01

What the hell do you want?

SPEAKER_00

This is a mistake.

SPEAKER_01

Oh Mark! Wait! I didn't see you. Um sorry for my tone. It's uh good to see you.

SPEAKER_03

Oh Yuho, can we get the focus back on me? I need to fix this for you. Now tell me how to do that. I'll be on my way back to uh America.

SPEAKER_01

I'm actually late for work.

SPEAKER_00

Can we speed this up a bit? Well, take some time. We've come all this way with Dan singing. Oops, I did it again on a fucking loop.

SPEAKER_03

Hey, you promise not to tell a soul.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, well, I lied. I sent about 50 texts to our old college pals, and they're all talking trash about you.

SPEAKER_03

You know you loved my singing, and so did everyone else on that plane.

SPEAKER_00

If that's true, then why the hell did that priest threaten to kill you? Let's cut to the chase. You're both here to find out why I ended things. Nope. We came to pay you off so you never go near me again.

SPEAKER_03

I mean, would that work? I ain't really bothered if y'all work this out, which make my job much more manageable.

SPEAKER_00

How?

SPEAKER_03

You're right. It wouldn't I think enjoy was the word I was looking for there.

SPEAKER_01

Won't you tell Dan what you did? I gave Mark an ultimatum to live in London, or it would be over.

SPEAKER_00

And I told Scarlet this could work without us needing to completely change our lives.

SPEAKER_03

You believe that bullshit, don't you?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, dumbass, I do. If we spoke to our bosses, we could have spent six months living in each other's cities.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, so why didn't you go for that, Scarlett? This drama is exciting.

SPEAKER_00

Because I don't have to tell you. Cause deep down she's worried we're rushing things, and she's not ready to commit to this on the same level I am.

SPEAKER_03

Damn. Seems to me like Mark's the only one really interested in this relationship, Scarlet.

SPEAKER_00

Bro, come on.

SPEAKER_03

Scarlet, that's your cue to say so. So I can laugh in his face. I'm gonna have to make this very loud and very annoying.

SPEAKER_01

No! No. It's been nine weeks since he first showed up on my doorstep. And I'm why would we might wreck things if we move on to the next step too fast?

SPEAKER_00

Well, I don't really think it's moving too fast if you really love someone. And she doesn't. I knew it!

SPEAKER_02

Oh, this is fun.

SPEAKER_01

Shut up! I'm gonna kill you! I'm gonna kill you, Dan!

SPEAKER_03

Hey, hey, I'm only speaking your truth.

SPEAKER_01

Mark, it's too much of a big decision to make.

SPEAKER_03

I see both points clearly.

SPEAKER_00

How about you offer us some advice for a change instead of running your mouth off like a dick?

SPEAKER_03

Oh, but you love it when I mouth off. You're changing, and it's Scarlet's fault.

SPEAKER_00

Bro, seriously, why are you even here?

SPEAKER_03

To enjoy this sh comedy showcase, duh. Look, Mark, you love Scarlet.

SPEAKER_00

I do, despite me hating that I do.

SPEAKER_03

And you love Mark, don't you, Scarlet?

SPEAKER_01

Not after that last comment, I don't.

SPEAKER_03

Guys, when it comes down to it, love trumps over any doubts you might have.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, that's actually smart. Did Dan have the world's first brain transplant?

SPEAKER_03

No. I read books.

SPEAKER_00

You read? You, Dan. Read?

SPEAKER_03

Hey now? I I didn't come here to be insulted.

SPEAKER_01

No, seriously. You read.

SPEAKER_03

Hey, this is meeting me for no reason, and I won't stand for it. I am an intellect.

SPEAKER_00

The only thing he reads is a magazine with playboy logos attached to it.

SPEAKER_03

Oh see that you you you've made her sick.

SPEAKER_01

No. It's not that. Are you alright?

SPEAKER_00

I've been feeling a bit under the weather for the last What's that about?

SPEAKER_03

You won't like 'em, I guess.

SPEAKER_00

She's been food poison?

SPEAKER_03

No, dumbass. Think harder.

SPEAKER_00

Just spell it out.

SPEAKER_03

She's got your sperm in her belly.

SPEAKER_00

You're still not making any sense here.

SPEAKER_03

Oh my god, she's pregnant, dumbass.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, and that's the real reason why she wanted to end it. It's not my baby.

SPEAKER_03

Oh boy. I'm gonna have to let this run for a little bit, I think.

SPEAKER_00

Whose is it? Who's what? Who's the father of the baby you're carrying? Uh I'm not carrying a baby. Then why are you sick all of a sudden? I don't know. Scarlett, have you had a pregnancy test? Wait. You think I'm pregnant?

SPEAKER_01

That's hilarious and very frightening. Have you done the test? No, because I'm not pregnant!

SPEAKER_03

Unless Here we go. My works are about to fly.

SPEAKER_01

I mean could I be? I mean no. Surely not.

SPEAKER_03

It's about to fly any minute now. Oh, there it is.

SPEAKER_01

We used protection! Oh yeah, sure you did. Mark, you were in charge of that department.

SPEAKER_00

Don't tell me we not all the time.

SPEAKER_03

Oh absolute ranker! How could you? That's Mark's nickname.

SPEAKER_00

Absolute wanker. Look, look, look, it could be false. Let's just take the test and find out. Dan, can you go buy us a test?

SPEAKER_03

And miss your argument? I don't think so.

SPEAKER_00

Dan, I need you to go, please. Pharmacy on the high road. It's about a 12-minute walk. No, it's more likely 20 minutes on the left side of the road. Yeah, that's that's the one I mean.

SPEAKER_03

There's a game afoot here.

SPEAKER_00

Just go.

SPEAKER_01

We've got 15 minutes. That's long enough. Oh, you're such a gentleman.

SPEAKER_00

That's true.

SPEAKER_03

Well, alright. How terrible was he?

SPEAKER_00

We didn't do anything. Ow. That's painful for a man to hear. Shh! He bought it.

SPEAKER_02

Seriously? You think so?

SPEAKER_00

Not anymore.

SPEAKER_02

I got the test. How would you like to proceed?

SPEAKER_00

Um she's confessed already. She did the test a couple of days ago and her period is.

SPEAKER_02

Whoa. Cut to the chase.

SPEAKER_00

We think it might be the P word. Anyway, she told you to get the test so Scarlett and I could discuss the situation rationally, you know, like adults do.

SPEAKER_01

Anyway, I can officially confirm there's a baby on board.

SPEAKER_02

And I get to be its uncle.

SPEAKER_00

We haven't made that decision yet, and honestly, I'd choose an axe murderer before I would choose you. Mark, come on.

SPEAKER_01

That's very impolite. Uh yeah, but he's right. I would too, sorry.

SPEAKER_03

You two make me sick.

SPEAKER_01

Aw, those words make us so proud.

SPEAKER_03

Alright. So what happens to the relationship?

SPEAKER_01

Um, well, I don't want it to end. I don't either. I hate flying. Me too. So, I think the sensible thing for us to do is to do the six-month thing. I agree.

SPEAKER_03

Will your boss let you do it?

SPEAKER_01

I think so. I hope so. I'll call him in my bedroom. Um, Mark, why don't you help me uh dial?

SPEAKER_03

You two are really filthy.

SPEAKER_00

Dude, I've heard stories about you and my sister. You're fucked up too.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, that's true. You carry on. He didn't go for it. I knew it. Oh well, I guess this is over. People be crazy and all that jazz or boom.

SPEAKER_01

Actually, my boss offered me a twelve-month contract for six months in the UK and six months in Texas. But I have to fly to Texas tonight. He's booked my flights.

SPEAKER_03

Oh yes. Why? And where's Mark?

SPEAKER_01

He's jet lagged. He fell asleep before I could tell him.

SPEAKER_03

Hey, I'm a man and I never say these words in front of another dude. But I'm so happy for you. I genuinely mean that.

SPEAKER_01

I'm happy too.

SPEAKER_03

Have you had a scan yet?

SPEAKER_01

Oh, not yet, but we'll soon. Are you sure about all this? He's the man of my dreams. I love him.

SPEAKER_03

I'm so glad to hear that. I'm not nearly as sweet as Mark, am I?

SPEAKER_01

Uh sadly you're not. I can't believe I'm moving to Texas!

SPEAKER_03

Looks like it. And I'm about to be an uncle. Are we really sure this is wise? Yes!

SPEAKER_02

But I'm so young to be an uncle.

SPEAKER_01

I love him. I'd do anything to be with him. Anything. Even be your friend. And I really thought that was impossible.

SPEAKER_03

Hey. There's only one clown allowed in our friendship group.

SPEAKER_01

This is what I really want.

SPEAKER_03

And it looks like you'll have it.

SPEAKER_01

I am so happy.

SPEAKER_03

Well then hell, I guess I'm happy for you too.

SPEAKER_01

Thank you, Dan. For well, everything.

SPEAKER_03

Hey. It's my pleasure. I I'm not sure what I did, but it's my pleasure anyhow.

SPEAKER_01

You're great.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, sure.

SPEAKER_01

I mean it.

SPEAKER_03

No, you're the first and probably the last person to say that about me, so I'll take it.
