0:00:04 > 0:00:06'This is the story of Roy O'Brien.
0:00:06 > 0:00:09'He lives in an ordinary house, on an ordinary street.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12'The only trouble is, he doesn't LOOK very ordinary.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15'All Roy really wants is to fit in.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18'But it's very hard to stay out of trouble
0:00:18 > 0:00:20'when you're a cartoon!'
0:00:20 > 0:00:22Ro-o-oy!
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Ro-o-oy!
0:00:28 > 0:00:29Roy!
0:00:35 > 0:00:37ROY!
0:00:40 > 0:00:44'Over the past few days in the O'Brien household,
0:00:44 > 0:00:47'Maura has noticed a change in Roy's behaviour.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Roy?
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Are you coming downstairs to watch a bit of telly?
0:00:52 > 0:00:53There's popcorn.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57That is all right, Mum. I've already had a sandwich.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Ro... Roy?
0:01:07 > 0:01:10This is your father speaking.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12What kind of sandwich?
0:01:20 > 0:01:24He says he's studying up there but he's not fooling anyone.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27But, hey, it's all part of growing up
0:01:27 > 0:01:30and to be honest, I'm fine with that.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33I don't mean to sound heartless or anything
0:01:33 > 0:01:37but I do have a life of my own that doesn't revolve around my children.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Maura, the film's starting.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44Not right now, Bill, I'm going through photos!
0:01:44 > 0:01:45You're the one who wanted to...
0:01:45 > 0:01:47SHE SIGHS
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Oh.
0:01:52 > 0:01:53Look at that.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57He was the cutest baby,
0:01:57 > 0:01:58but a real handful.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02We had to tie a lid on the cot with ropes
0:02:02 > 0:02:04just to keep him safe in there.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07That's him on his fifth birthday.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13That's a more recent one.
0:02:14 > 0:02:19I'm so glad he seems to be settling in and making lovely friends.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25Cartoon characters on TV never grow up.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28For a while we thought Roy was going to be the same.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33But you can't believe everything you see on TV.
0:02:34 > 0:02:35(Look at that.)
0:02:38 > 0:02:40My Roy.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Science...
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Science is really the worst subject for me.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Some get it, some don't.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53I definitely don't.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55I mean, the human body.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58It's not as if it exactly applies to me either.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04See that? And the candles are still lit!
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Don't even remember eating that.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Anyway, all this science stuff just doesn't seem to go in.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12I can't concentrate on it.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Now, can anybody tell me
0:03:15 > 0:03:20which muscle pumps the blood around our bodies?
0:03:28 > 0:03:31The heart. Very good, Roy.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33THEY LAUGH
0:03:34 > 0:03:36EMBARRASSED LAUGHTER
0:03:37 > 0:03:39They grow up so fast.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41There's Rebecca.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44It's hard to believe it's the same girl.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47SHE LAUGHS
0:03:47 > 0:03:52I'll never forget the day this was taken.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55I wish it was as easy to get a laugh out of her nowadays.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Mum, what are you doing?
0:03:57 > 0:03:59- Nothing.- What's that?
0:03:59 > 0:04:02It's just a photo.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06- Aw, that's just great! - See what I mean?
0:04:06 > 0:04:09BELL RINGS
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Not so fast, everyone.
0:04:15 > 0:04:20After lunch we will be looking at more amphibians. Namely, the frog.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23And, as you can see,
0:04:23 > 0:04:28I've brought in two of them to help us with our studies.
0:04:29 > 0:04:30Miss? Miss Sheringham?
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Are we going to be asking them questions?
0:04:34 > 0:04:38No, Kathy, we are not going to be asking them questions.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40We are going to...
0:04:42 > 0:04:44We are going to...
0:04:45 > 0:04:47..dissect them.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54You mean, like...cut them up and have a look inside?
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Aw, Miss! That's just cruel!
0:04:58 > 0:05:01More like, that's just gross.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Yeah, Miss, that's just really cruel.
0:05:04 > 0:05:05Enjoy your lunch.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Miss Sheringham. Can we talk to you for a second, please?
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Yes, of course, Sinead. Roy.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Most of the children don't see why the frogs have to die.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19And, to be quite honest, neither do I.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23I'm sorry you feel that way, but may I remind you, Miss Sheringham,
0:05:23 > 0:05:27that this is a science class we're talking about, not a petting zoo.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29But dissection isn't even on the syllabus any more!
0:05:29 > 0:05:34Exactly! And the test scores for science around the country
0:05:34 > 0:05:36are at an all-time low.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38I have the figures right here!
0:05:38 > 0:05:40- Can I see that?- No.
0:05:42 > 0:05:47Science isn't pretty, Miss Sheringham.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50You're studying the life-cycle of a frog and I'm afraid death is
0:05:50 > 0:05:53a very important part of that cycle.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55But...it's just murder.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Roy, tell him!
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Yeah, it's wrong to kill them. They've done nothing to us!
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Kids, I need a moment alone with Mr Hammond.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20I'm serious. I'm not doing it. I've thought about it and I won't do it.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26OK, then...
0:06:26 > 0:06:28I'll do it.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30But you owe me.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42So Hammo's going to...
0:06:43 > 0:06:46..the frogs, yeah?
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Well, that's what I heard.
0:06:48 > 0:06:49It's so unfair.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53They're just poor little defenceless animals.
0:06:53 > 0:06:54Well, it's going to happen anyway.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57I mean, who's going to stop him?
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Settle down, children, settle down!
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Today may be Friday
0:07:12 > 0:07:17but the weekend doesn't start until I say so.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22Right, Miss Sheringham has kindly asked me to perform
0:07:22 > 0:07:25today's dissection.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27And here...
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Here is what we have to look forward to.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37THEY GASP
0:07:37 > 0:07:38Cool...
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Gloves.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Glasses.
0:07:58 > 0:07:59Scalpel.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08The chloroform
0:08:08 > 0:08:11will knock the frogs out
0:08:11 > 0:08:15so they won't feel any pain at all.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20HE LAUGHS
0:08:20 > 0:08:26And now...we introduce...
0:08:26 > 0:08:27the frogs.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Despite what some children may think, this is not
0:08:30 > 0:08:32my favourite part of the job.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34FLY BUZZES
0:08:34 > 0:08:39But if the children want to see me as the bad guy, that's fine.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40I'm not here to be liked.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42I'm here to educate.
0:08:42 > 0:08:48And if the price of that education is a couple of frogs, so be it.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51FLY KEEPS BUZZING
0:08:51 > 0:08:53It's not as if I'm going to enjoy it.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06THEY LAUGH
0:09:06 > 0:09:10Right, what's going on here?
0:09:12 > 0:09:16Where are the frogs?
0:09:17 > 0:09:20HE LAUGHS
0:09:20 > 0:09:27Somebody's made... a very bad mistake.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Miss Sheringham,
0:09:30 > 0:09:32close the door
0:09:32 > 0:09:35and don't let anyone out.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Why cut up helpless little frogs when I spent
0:09:43 > 0:09:49two hours drawing up their insides on the board for my class to copy?
0:09:49 > 0:09:51They can learn from that.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55Anyway, frogs. Disgusting.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00What is Mr Hammond going to expect me to do next?
0:10:00 > 0:10:03He'll be asking me to dissect...rabbits.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Guinea pigs.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08He'll be asking the class to bring in their own pets next!
0:10:08 > 0:10:11BELL RINGS
0:10:11 > 0:10:12'Of course,
0:10:12 > 0:10:17'I had my suspicions about the disappearing frogs, but...
0:10:17 > 0:10:19'I wasn't going to tell anyone.'
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Go.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28Roy. You're the last one.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Yes, Sir.
0:10:30 > 0:10:35- Is there anything you'd like to tell me before I look in your bag?- Em...
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Watch out for the banana sandwich.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43MYSTERIOUS CROAKING
0:10:43 > 0:10:44What was that?
0:10:44 > 0:10:47The other half of the banana sandwich.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Seriously, Sir, it was minging!
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Should Roy not be home by now?
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Yeah. He should be.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21- Hi, Mum. Hey, Dad.- Hi-ya, love.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24- You all right?- How are you, lads? What have you been up to?
0:11:24 > 0:11:25Jack, can you get the biscuits?
0:11:25 > 0:11:28And Tommy, can you get the drinks out of the fridge?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Thanks, Mr and Mrs O'Brien.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Oh, fire away(!)
0:11:35 > 0:11:39Roy! Don't go binging on snacks now.
0:11:39 > 0:11:40I'm making dinner.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44I've made your favourite.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46It's all right, Ma.
0:11:46 > 0:11:47I've already eaten.
0:11:49 > 0:11:50Where's me red ones?
0:11:50 > 0:11:54- What's wrong with your yellow ones? - I don't like the yellow ones.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56They make me feet itchy.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Bit of cake, lads?
0:12:03 > 0:12:05BOTH: No!
0:12:07 > 0:12:09That's totally sick!
0:12:09 > 0:12:11And kinda cool as well.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15Roy, I never knew you were such an animal lover.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Oh, yeah! Me? Are you joking?
0:12:17 > 0:12:19I love animals. They're great.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Still, though,
0:12:22 > 0:12:25would have been kind of cool to see their guts.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27HE GROANS
0:12:27 > 0:12:28What?
0:12:28 > 0:12:31You should release them into the wild straight away, Roy.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33It's the best thing for them.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37And besides, you don't want to get too attached.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39- Attached?- Yeah.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- To frogs?- Yeah.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Attached to frogs!
0:12:49 > 0:12:52I can't release them into the wild.
0:12:52 > 0:12:53They're just not ready.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Frank would probably be OK,
0:12:56 > 0:12:58but Winston...
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Well, you can see for yourselves.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Frank is obviously the party frog.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07That's him on the left. He's all action.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11While Winston, he's more your quiet type.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16HE SIGHS
0:13:16 > 0:13:19That lad's deep.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21He's a deep frog.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23If you know what I mean.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27'It being the weekend, the boys have decided to do some shopping.'
0:13:27 > 0:13:30I'm just saying, I think it's a bad idea to keep the frogs.
0:13:30 > 0:13:36I know what you think, Tom! But I know they're not ready to leave yet.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40Check this out. We got a container for the frogs, and the man gave us
0:13:40 > 0:13:44loads of extra stuff. For free!
0:13:44 > 0:13:47And we got a thing of crickets to feed them.
0:13:47 > 0:13:48Are these dead or alive?
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Don't know.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55THEY SCREAM
0:13:58 > 0:14:01So, when are you going to let the frogs go?
0:14:01 > 0:14:05I need to fatten the frogs before I can let them go into the world.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07What? Fatten up frogs?
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Lookout! Hammo! Hide the gear.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13- How are ya, Mr Hammond! - Hey, Mr Hammo!
0:14:19 > 0:14:21That was a close one.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24You've got to get rid of these frogs!
0:14:26 > 0:14:30Raising kids is hard enough in this day and age.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33You try and keep an eye on what they're doing
0:14:33 > 0:14:35and you're accused of being too nosey.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38But you can't leave them up to their own devices.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40They could get up to anything!
0:14:40 > 0:14:43I mean, take my Roy.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47Heaven knows what's going on in that head of his.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50But I know the answer to that question is in his bedroom.
0:14:50 > 0:14:55Why else would he be spending so much time in there? Never fear!
0:14:55 > 0:15:01I mean, what's wrong with keeping an eye on what the kids get up to?
0:15:01 > 0:15:06If it were up to Bill, they'd be allowed to do whatever they pleased.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08I'm always painted as the bad guy.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11And Bill gets to be the good guy.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17I'm always the one who gets to do the dirty work.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Why don't those boys ever lift the lid?
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Maura.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30- What?- What are you doing?
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Will you come down the stairs?
0:15:32 > 0:15:36What? Can't a mother be concerned about her son?
0:15:36 > 0:15:40Concerned? I'm concerned about you. You're spying on him!
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Heaven knows what's going through that poor little head of his.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45At least Rebecca keeps a diary.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Um... Hi, Becky!
0:15:50 > 0:15:51Hi, Becky!
0:15:53 > 0:15:55(Do you think she heard that?)
0:15:55 > 0:15:56Probably.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Are you two getting fatter?
0:16:02 > 0:16:04I think you're getting fatter.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06But you don't do very much froggy stuff, do you?
0:16:06 > 0:16:09You probably didn't learn that in school, did you?
0:16:11 > 0:16:14I'll just put this camera down here.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20Stuff like hopping or catching flies with your tongues.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24It's time for me to teach you how to be frogs.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Here I go. So, in the wild, this is how frogs
0:16:27 > 0:16:29communicate with each other.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31HE CROAKS MANICALLY
0:16:34 > 0:16:36I'm all right!
0:16:36 > 0:16:39I'm all right.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41I'm not all right.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Hopping.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Essential in the wild for a quick escape.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Could save your life.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Right, lads.
0:17:01 > 0:17:07I won't always be here to feed you, so you've got to feed yourselves.
0:17:07 > 0:17:12We're going to learn how to use those tongues, lads. Right?
0:17:12 > 0:17:16So, let's say you want that big, juicy fly on the wall.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Ah, how are you, Tommy?
0:17:23 > 0:17:25- Hi, Mrs O'Brien.- How are you, Jack?
0:17:25 > 0:17:27- How are you, Maura?- Oh, do come in.
0:17:27 > 0:17:28Right upstairs.
0:17:31 > 0:17:36It says here that frogs can live up to 15 years!
0:17:36 > 0:17:39And the container needs to be cleaned constantly.
0:17:39 > 0:17:44The moisture can lead to all kinds of fungal and bacterial infection.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46You even need to feed the crickets!
0:17:46 > 0:17:50- So?- So we're just saying that you shouldn't get too...
0:17:50 > 0:17:55I'm not attached! I told you, they're not ready to go.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57But it stinks in here!
0:17:57 > 0:18:00It's only a matter of time before Maura finds out.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02She will freak.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Girls aren't like us.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06They hate disgusting things.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09So, there's a bit of a smell - no problem. I'll sort it!
0:18:13 > 0:18:15And do you have to call my ma Maura?
0:18:15 > 0:18:17- It's a bit freaky.- That's her name.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19What do you want me to call her?
0:18:19 > 0:18:23I don't know. Roy's ma? Something!
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Wasn't there a lamp here?
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Mum, if you don't talk to him, I will.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Mam, where's that spray that Da had?
0:18:40 > 0:18:43You know the one that makes his car smell really new?
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Roy, would this have anything to do
0:18:45 > 0:18:47with the peculiar scent coming from your room?
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Peculiar scent?
0:18:49 > 0:18:53It smells like something dead got sick!
0:18:53 > 0:18:57Yeah? Well, your mouth is a lot closer to your nose than my room is,
0:18:57 > 0:18:59so maybe it's your breath! Buck-tooth Becky!
0:18:59 > 0:19:01That's enough, both of yous!
0:19:01 > 0:19:03I was going to give the house a spring clean.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05I'll start in Roy's room.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08No! You're not going into my room.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11It's private! Just stay out!
0:19:19 > 0:19:20Ma?
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Are you OK?
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Yeah.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27DOORBELL RINGS
0:19:27 > 0:19:29I'll get that.
0:19:36 > 0:19:37Well, come in.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43KNCOK AT THE DOOR
0:19:43 > 0:19:44Hide the frogs!
0:19:47 > 0:19:48Who is it?
0:19:48 > 0:19:49Me, Sinead.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Come on in.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53I can't believe you saved the frogs, Roy.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55You're such a legend!
0:19:55 > 0:19:58- How did you know? - Tommy texted me earlier.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Sinead wanted to see the frogs one last time
0:20:01 > 0:20:05before you do the right thing and set them free.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09- You are going to set them free, aren't you, Roy?- Of course he is.
0:20:09 > 0:20:10And the sooner the better.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Well, that's the thing, you see.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15I was thinking they should stay here a little longer.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17You know...safer!
0:20:18 > 0:20:20You can't keep them here, Roy!
0:20:20 > 0:20:22If being stuck in a plastic container
0:20:22 > 0:20:25in your bedroom doesn't kill them, the smell will.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28They have to be outside!
0:20:28 > 0:20:30But it's dangerous out there!
0:20:30 > 0:20:31Roy, you have to set them free.
0:20:31 > 0:20:36But what if they puke, or hit their heads, or choke on a lamp?
0:20:36 > 0:20:39- ALL: Choke on a lamp?- Never mind.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41You got attached, didn't you, Roy?
0:20:41 > 0:20:43I'm not giving them up, OK?
0:20:43 > 0:20:48They need me. You don't understand. They're much more than pets to me.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50They're like my best...
0:20:50 > 0:20:52What's that stuff?
0:20:52 > 0:20:54THEY GROAN
0:20:54 > 0:20:56They've spawned!
0:20:56 > 0:21:01- You see, the female lays over 2,000 black eggs and...- Frank's a girl?
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Who's Frank?
0:21:07 > 0:21:09You all right, love?
0:21:10 > 0:21:13I just don't think Roy needs me any more.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17Don't be silly, love. Of course he needs you.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19He's turning into a man.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Well..
0:21:24 > 0:21:26As if one isn't enough here already!
0:21:28 > 0:21:30What's that supposed to mean?
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Would you put some trousers on, for goodness sake?
0:21:33 > 0:21:37It's my house too, you know!
0:21:37 > 0:21:39- Hiya, Beck.- Hey-ya, honey.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Do you want a biccy?
0:21:42 > 0:21:44No? Like a hug?
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Give Daddy a hug. Here.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Beautiful.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55THEY LAUGH
0:21:55 > 0:21:58My husband, Legs O'Brien.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Give us a biccy.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Come on, Roy.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09We can do this the easy way...
0:22:10 > 0:22:13- ..or the hard way.- But they need me!
0:22:13 > 0:22:15It's for their own good, Roy.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Frogs aren't meant to live in boys' bedrooms.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23Roy, put it down!
0:22:25 > 0:22:27No! The frogs!
0:22:27 > 0:22:32- I'm so, so sorry.- It's OK.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35They're OK. I just didn't want you taking them.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38See what could have happened if you did?
0:22:38 > 0:22:39Ma!
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Roy, I'm sorry, but I will not be told
0:22:41 > 0:22:44where I can and can't go in my own house.
0:22:44 > 0:22:45Are those frogs?
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Yeah...
0:22:47 > 0:22:51Happy... Happy... Uh...Mother's Day!
0:22:51 > 0:22:53But it's not Mother's Day.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Yeah, but...
0:22:55 > 0:22:58TOMMY: He was going to keep them until Mother's Day.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00It was meant to be a surprise.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Frogs? On Mother's Day?
0:23:03 > 0:23:05ALL: Yeah...
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Is that why you've been hiding out in your own room?
0:23:08 > 0:23:10ALL: Yeah.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Oh.
0:23:12 > 0:23:13Come here to me, son!
0:23:22 > 0:23:25I mean, frogs for Mother's Day.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27I mean, who'd fall for that one?
0:23:27 > 0:23:31Yeah, "Here you go, Ma, they ran out of roses and chocolates
0:23:31 > 0:23:36"at the flower shop but I thought frogs would do instead."
0:23:36 > 0:23:38I'm telling you, he has some cheek, our Roy.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42I remember, I was a right little tearaway when I was a young lad,
0:23:42 > 0:23:44you know. But I've never have the nerve
0:23:44 > 0:23:47to try to get away with an excuse like that. You know what I mean?
0:23:47 > 0:23:49You were a tearaway?
0:23:49 > 0:23:52No, no...I wasn't. No, I...
0:23:52 > 0:23:54No, what I mean is that I might try to get away
0:23:54 > 0:23:58with the odd trick or two, you know, but my Da,
0:23:58 > 0:24:02oh, my Da would put me straight. Ah, fair play to him.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05That was what that evil smell was coming from his room!
0:24:05 > 0:24:08- Hm?- And he had the cheek to say that it was my breath!
0:24:08 > 0:24:09That right, Da?
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Course, love, yeah.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Course.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16But, I mean, somebody had to deliver the bad news to Roy,
0:24:16 > 0:24:17about the frogs.
0:24:17 > 0:24:22So, myself and Maura decided that, er...that she'd do it.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Yeah, right!
0:24:24 > 0:24:27You and Mam decided, did you?
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Well, we did, actually, yes.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32And less of your lip, by the way, young one.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36You might want to pop up and brush your teeth again, love.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39I mean, frogs are not...
0:24:39 > 0:24:42It's the thought that counts.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Isn't that right, Roy?
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Ma!
0:24:46 > 0:24:49And that's something I will always cherish. But...
0:24:49 > 0:24:53I'm just glad that Francesca and Winston found a good home.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57And it's right here where we can see them any time we want.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59- But Roy...- Hey!
0:24:59 > 0:25:02We could keep them in the sitting room!
0:25:02 > 0:25:03- What do you think, Ma?- Er...
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Roy, listen. We need to talk.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13About Fran, and Winst...
0:25:13 > 0:25:15About the frogs.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Really?
0:25:17 > 0:25:20They're frogs.
0:25:20 > 0:25:21They're disgusting.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24ROY GASPS
0:25:24 > 0:25:26I'm afraid they're going to have to go.
0:25:29 > 0:25:30Shh...
0:25:38 > 0:25:43Winston, Francesca, there's nothing more I can teach you now.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46I have to let you go.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51I don't want to, but it's for your own good.
0:25:51 > 0:25:52Maybe someday,
0:25:52 > 0:25:58years from now, you'll understand, when you have children of your own.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Go free and live your own lives.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03HE SNIFFLES
0:26:04 > 0:26:09- Are you sure they'll be all right? - It's the best place for them, Roy.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11They're safe now.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15Goodbye, Francesca! Goodbye, Winston!
0:26:26 > 0:26:29'It's been ten weeks now since Winston and Francesca's release,
0:26:29 > 0:26:33'and there's been some surprising news in the O'Brien household.'
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Remember that disgusting stuff in the container?
0:26:36 > 0:26:40Yeah, well that was spawn, which is like frog's eggs and stuff.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42I couldn't keep them in my room any more,
0:26:42 > 0:26:45so I had to put them out in the back garden.
0:26:45 > 0:26:50And it turns out Winston and Francesca had hundreds of babies!
0:26:50 > 0:26:53Seriously! My Ma found them hopping in the garden.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56ROY!
0:26:56 > 0:26:58I asked her if I could keep some,
0:26:58 > 0:27:01but she just gave me one of those looks again.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04But that's cool. They're everywhere out there anyway.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07And they look just like Francesca and Winston.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09I shouldn't really have done this,
0:27:09 > 0:27:11but I brought one in to show you guys.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19That's mad. He was here a second ago.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Uh-oh!
0:27:21 > 0:27:24SHE SINGS TO HERSELF
0:27:30 > 0:27:32SHE SCREAMS
0:27:32 > 0:27:34HE LAUGHS
