"Dear Murray, I'm going away for a bit."

0:00:020:00:04

Don, listen, I've got to cancel.

0:00:040:00:06

'We've brought Gord and Aud.'

0:00:060:00:07

-ALL:

-Hi!

0:00:070:00:09

-Hi!

-God, what happened to your ear?

0:00:100:00:12

Oh, don't worry. Er, someone bit me, it's fine.

0:00:120:00:14

Everyone's been running round like headless chickens

0:00:140:00:16

looking for that memory stick. Emma said you had it.

0:00:160:00:19

-Yeah, I've got it here. Er...

-Well?

0:00:190:00:22

-I've moved in with Abby.

-What?

0:00:220:00:23

It gives me great pleasure to present to you

0:00:230:00:25

this luxury beach-side villa on the Turkish Riviera.

0:00:250:00:29

The adventure starts tonight!

0:00:290:00:31

Come on, your flight leaves in two hours!

0:00:310:00:33

ALL SHOUT GOODBYE

0:00:330:00:35

Right...

0:00:410:00:42

Shall we check in?

0:00:420:00:44

I'm sorry, I can't do this.

0:00:460:00:48

We've got the tickets and everything.

0:00:480:00:50

Murray, I know this isn't easy, but I need some time away.

0:00:500:00:53

You'll have that. In Turkey.

0:00:530:00:55

On my own, Murray.

0:00:550:00:56

We could sleep at different ends of the villa.

0:00:560:00:59

OK.

0:00:590:01:00

-Bex...

-Taxi.

-I'll sleep in the hammock.

0:01:000:01:02

-All right, love?

-Can you take me back to Brighton?

0:01:020:01:04

-Yeah, course.

-No, no. Not Brighton. We're going to Turkey.

0:01:040:01:07

I'll be at Abby's, OK? And I'll call you...

0:01:070:01:09

-Please, take it. It's all yours.

-Right, thank you.

0:01:090:01:12

Right, where are the tickets?

0:01:120:01:14

Please, don't make this more difficult

0:01:140:01:16

than it already is, Murray.

0:01:160:01:17

-Ooh! New bikini!

-You just leave that, please.

0:01:170:01:20

Tickets... Yep.

0:01:200:01:22

Passports... Brilliant.

0:01:220:01:24

I'll just get you to Turkey, all that stress will disappear.

0:01:240:01:27

-Taxi!

-No, no. No.

0:01:270:01:30

Er, we're fine, thanks. Not needed. Sorry.

0:01:300:01:32

I've no money. Is it OK to stop at a cashpoint?

0:01:320:01:34

Go ahead. It's all yours. Yeah, we're going to Turkey.

0:01:340:01:36

-Had a nice holiday?

-It was OK.

0:01:360:01:38

See? See how relaxed he is, Bex? Come on.

0:01:380:01:41

Give me your bag. I'll check in. Come on.

0:01:410:01:44

We'll wake up in that golden sunshine

0:01:440:01:47

and have a good old natter about...

0:01:470:01:49

Bex?

0:01:490:01:50

Bex!

0:01:500:01:52

Bex! Bex!

0:01:520:01:54

Bex...

0:01:540:01:56

The plane leaves in an hour!

0:01:560:01:58

Bex!

0:01:580:01:59

-BEX:

-Morning.

0:02:290:02:30

Morning, Bex.

0:02:300:02:33

How did you sleep?

0:02:330:02:34

-Mm, not great.

-Well, it is a Bodyshape memory-foam mattress.

0:02:340:02:37

-I've never had any complaints before.

-No, no.

0:02:370:02:40

The mattress was fine. It was just I can't stop thinking about Murray.

0:02:400:02:43

Bex...

0:02:430:02:44

we discussed this.

0:02:440:02:47

To reach your potential, you need to find the right soil.

0:02:470:02:51

And the soil in that relationship with Murray is the...

0:02:510:02:55

-BOTH:

-The wrong soil.

-Exactly.

0:02:550:02:58

Just as Clifford was my wrong soil.

0:02:580:03:01

But you're free now, my darling.

0:03:020:03:05

Just don't forget we wear the airline slippers in here

0:03:060:03:09

with bare feet. Otherwise we smudge the Italian tiling.

0:03:090:03:13

-Sorry.

-No, no! You're forgiven.

0:03:130:03:16

First offence.

0:03:160:03:17

I carry mine around in my pocket, but if ever you forget,

0:03:170:03:21

I keep some spares in this container here.

0:03:210:03:23

And some by the door.

0:03:230:03:25

Oh, that's handy.

0:03:250:03:27

It's just a few simple rules.

0:03:270:03:29

Otherwise it's anarchy.

0:03:290:03:30

Oh, and don't forget, it's book club tonight.

0:03:300:03:33

-You have read the book, haven't you?

-Yeah.

0:03:330:03:35

-I really enjoyed...

-No, no, no, no, no, no.

0:03:350:03:37

Don't tell me what you thought now. Discussion time is later.

0:03:370:03:41

SHE SIGHS

0:03:430:03:44

PHONE BUZZES

0:03:440:03:46

BEEP

0:03:530:03:55

-Ah, Don.

-'Hi, Murray.'

0:03:550:03:57

I won't be long. Costs a fortune to call Turkey from a mobile.

0:03:570:04:01

Oh... Has Bex not spoken to you?

0:04:010:04:04

Oh, I know, I know, it's Mehmet, isn't it?

0:04:040:04:05

He's just called to apologise

0:04:050:04:07

for not being at the airport for you.

0:04:070:04:08

He's going to bring round some olives to say sorry.

0:04:080:04:11

Sort of Turkish custom.

0:04:110:04:12

Oh! Oh, no, no. No, tell him not to bother.

0:04:120:04:15

Actually, you've flown in at a really good time.

0:04:150:04:18

There's some Turkish festival tonight.

0:04:180:04:20

-Mehmet's going to barbecue a goat.

-Right.

0:04:200:04:22

Don, I did send a text to Bex reminding her to call you, so...

0:04:220:04:25

Text?

0:04:250:04:26

-You two not talking to each other?

-HE CHUCKLES

0:04:260:04:28

CHUCKLING: No, no, no. It's...

0:04:280:04:31

a little bit more complicated than that.

0:04:310:04:33

Have you been out on the balcony yet?

0:04:330:04:35

-Er... Not yet, no.

-Well, go now.

0:04:350:04:37

I've got a little something for you.

0:04:370:04:39

-Don, I...

-Go on. I want to hear your reaction.

0:04:390:04:42

-Are you there yet?

-Um...

0:04:430:04:45

Er...

0:04:450:04:47

Yes?

0:04:470:04:48

Well? What do you think?

0:04:480:04:51

Eh? Eh?

0:04:510:04:52

Oh, Don I'm...speechless.

0:04:530:04:56

You love it, don't you? I knew you'd love it.

0:04:560:04:59

Yes, I do...love it. Yeah.

0:05:000:05:02

What do you think of the colour?

0:05:020:05:04

I love it.

0:05:040:05:06

You were always commenting on my hot tub.

0:05:060:05:08

I... Yes, a hot tub, yeah!

0:05:090:05:11

-Ha-ha-ha!

-Now, listen.

0:05:110:05:13

I don't want you two getting up to any naughtiness in there.

0:05:130:05:16

We won't.

0:05:160:05:17

Um, Don, I-I...

0:05:170:05:19

I really think you should speak to Bex. TAPPING

0:05:190:05:21

What is it, Paula?

0:05:210:05:23

-SHE MOUTHS

-Sorry, Murray.

0:05:230:05:25

I'm being summoned. I'll talk to you later.

0:05:250:05:28

Don...

0:05:280:05:29

RINGING TONE

0:05:340:05:36

'Hi, this is Bex. Please leave a message.'

0:05:360:05:38

BEEP Bex...

0:05:380:05:39

I really think you should talk to your parents.

0:05:390:05:41

You've got to tell them what's going on.

0:05:410:05:44

Thanks.

0:05:590:06:01

-WOMAN:

-Can I help?

0:06:030:06:04

Oh, hi. Hi.

0:06:040:06:07

Actually, yes. Um...

0:06:080:06:10

I haven't got an appointment,

0:06:100:06:12

is there any chance of a wash and blow?

0:06:120:06:15

-Yes, of course.

-Great.

0:06:160:06:19

What are you doing here?

0:06:280:06:29

W-W-What are you doing here?

0:06:290:06:31

-You're supposed to be in Turkey.

-TOILET FLUSHES

0:06:310:06:35

G-G-Grant!

0:06:440:06:45

I thought you were in Turkey.

0:06:450:06:47

So you thought you'd use my house?

0:06:470:06:49

-My bed?

-Well, I couldn't take her back to Mum's.

0:06:490:06:51

Hasn't she got a place of her own?

0:06:510:06:53

She's got cats, and you know what I'm like with cats.

0:06:530:06:56

-At nine o'clock in the morning?

-Well, she works nights.

0:06:560:06:58

She doesn't knock off from the petrol station till eight.

0:06:580:07:01

-What do you think?

-I asked you to pop round and clear up,

0:07:040:07:06

not drag someone back from the petrol pumps for a quick...pump.

0:07:060:07:10

Mark, you said the house was empty.

0:07:100:07:12

Wait, Bex didn't open her presents.

0:07:120:07:14

Her 40th birthday...

0:07:140:07:16

She hasn't even got her presents.

0:07:160:07:18

Yeah, look...

0:07:180:07:19

If this is all going to get emotional,

0:07:190:07:21

I'm really not sure I'm your man.

0:07:210:07:23

I just don't know how it got to this.

0:07:230:07:25

You know, sometimes in these situations,

0:07:250:07:27

it's best just to keep things...

0:07:270:07:29

bottled up.

0:07:290:07:31

Or you could pop round

0:07:310:07:32

and give her the presents. That'll break the ice.

0:07:320:07:35

That's actually not a bad idea.

0:07:350:07:36

Yeah, and then you could take her out for a coffee

0:07:360:07:38

-and, like, really chat things through.

-You're not using the house.

0:07:380:07:41

Grant, are we doing this or not?

0:07:410:07:43

No, you're not! Go somewhere else.

0:07:430:07:46

Let yourself out.

0:07:480:07:50

So, are you going anywhere nice on your holidays?

0:07:580:08:01

Well, I was. I'm not now.

0:08:010:08:03

Yeah, I turned down the chance of going to Turkey last night.

0:08:030:08:08

I...

0:08:080:08:09

I actually got all the way to the airport and couldn't face it.

0:08:090:08:12

Long story.

0:08:130:08:15

-PAULA:

-Bex?

0:08:160:08:17

Bex!

0:08:180:08:20

Mum.

0:08:200:08:21

BEEPING

0:08:310:08:33

Oh, hi, Abby.

0:08:360:08:38

Er...

0:08:380:08:39

Look, I know it's a bit awkward cos of the situation with Bex,

0:08:390:08:42

but probably best if you and I just try and get along.

0:08:420:08:44

What do you want, Murray?

0:08:440:08:46

I-I-I've got these birthday presents for her, so...

0:08:460:08:48

She's hurting, Murray. Really hurting.

0:08:480:08:50

So if I could just give them to her.

0:08:500:08:52

Do you want to know the name of the person who hurt her?

0:08:520:08:54

Rather just give her the presents.

0:08:540:08:56

The name of the person who hurt her is Murray.

0:08:560:08:58

Yes, I thought it might be.

0:08:580:08:59

Er, could I please just speak to my wife?

0:08:590:09:01

-SIGHING:

-She's not in.

0:09:010:09:02

Right.

0:09:020:09:04

Do you know where she is, or...?

0:09:040:09:06

For your information, I'm trying to create a Murray-free zone here.

0:09:060:09:09

-Thanks for the heads-up.

-A Murray-less safe haven.

0:09:090:09:12

I'll take the presents...

0:09:120:09:14

-I'd like to give them to her.

-No, no.

0:09:140:09:15

-No, give them to me.

-I want to give her the presents myself.

0:09:150:09:18

No! I don't want you coming back!

0:09:180:09:20

PHONE RINGS

0:09:200:09:22

Oh, hi, Bex. Where are you?

0:09:260:09:28

Why are you at your parents'?

0:09:280:09:31

What...? Hey! No...

0:09:310:09:33

She doesn't want to see you, Murray.

0:09:330:09:36

-PAULA:

-Go on through. I'm just making lunch.

0:09:420:09:45

Oh, Murray.

0:09:450:09:46

I can't believe it.

0:09:460:09:48

Bex! Your husband's here.

0:09:480:09:50

-Hi, Bex.

-Murray.

0:09:540:09:56

Happy birthday.

0:09:580:09:59

Yeah, thanks.

0:10:000:10:02

I'll put them down here.

0:10:020:10:04

How's your dad taken it?

0:10:070:10:10

I haven't spoken to him yet.

0:10:100:10:11

Mum said to wait for him to finish his bird table.

0:10:110:10:14

-Oh.

-Don!

0:10:140:10:17

Keeley'll be here in a minute.

0:10:170:10:18

Remember she's bringing her new boyfriend.

0:10:180:10:21

Can you do it?

0:10:210:10:23

-What?

-Tell Dad.

0:10:230:10:24

You want me to tell your dad you've left me?

0:10:240:10:26

Yeah, well, he'll take it better coming from you.

0:10:260:10:28

-DON:

-Oh!

-It's best.

0:10:280:10:30

I'd like to see next-door's cat have a go at that!

0:10:300:10:33

-What's going on?

-Look, Dad, we've, um...

0:10:370:10:41

We've got some news that we want to tell you.

0:10:410:10:44

-Haven't we, Murray?

-Not really. Um...

0:10:440:10:46

Tell me what?

0:10:460:10:47

Bex, I think you should, um...

0:10:470:10:49

-Go on, Murray.

-Bex, you do it.

0:10:490:10:50

-Come on.

-Bex!

0:10:500:10:52

What is it?

0:10:520:10:53

Don, um...

0:10:530:10:55

Er...

0:10:550:10:57

Bex and I are taking...

0:10:570:10:59

a...

0:10:590:11:00

a bit of a break from each other.

0:11:000:11:02

What does that mean?

0:11:020:11:03

We've sort of separated.

0:11:030:11:05

-Oh, my God.

-Just for a few days.

0:11:050:11:06

-It might be a bit longer.

-Difficult to know exactly how long.

0:11:060:11:09

Yeah, I just need to sort my head out.

0:11:090:11:11

It's that bit that's making the exact time calculation difficult.

0:11:110:11:13

-I spoke to you in Turkey this morning.

-Yes...

0:11:130:11:17

I'm really sorry about that. We never actually got on the plane.

0:11:170:11:20

-No.

-Ah...

0:11:200:11:22

I'm sorry. Excuse me. I just need to get some fresh air.

0:11:230:11:26

That was horrible.

0:11:280:11:30

He took it pretty well, considering.

0:11:300:11:32

DOOR CLOSES

0:11:320:11:33

BIRD CAWS

0:11:380:11:40

OK, well, I think I'd better get going.

0:11:420:11:45

No, no, no. No. Don't go, Murray, stay for lunch.

0:11:450:11:48

Oh, that's very kind, Paula, but I...

0:11:480:11:50

I...

0:11:500:11:52

-can't.

-Course you can.

0:11:520:11:54

We're family.

0:11:540:11:55

DOOR OPENS

0:11:550:11:57

Right, whenever I had any business problems,

0:11:590:12:02

I'd get out a old envelope,

0:12:020:12:03

draw a line down the middle and work out the pros and the cons.

0:12:030:12:07

So...

0:12:070:12:09

Murray...

0:12:090:12:10

Pros. Er...

0:12:100:12:13

Good-looking.

0:12:130:12:14

Good sense of humour.

0:12:160:12:17

-Er, smells nice...

-No, Dad, sorry, we are not doing this.

0:12:190:12:22

Now, cons.

0:12:220:12:23

Come on, Bex. Throw them out.

0:12:230:12:24

Or we could just carry on with the pros.

0:12:240:12:27

-I mean...

-Come on, Bex. What are the cons?

0:12:270:12:29

OK, put "absent". He's just not been around.

0:12:290:12:32

-He's at work all the time.

-Yeah, well, that's not a con.

0:12:320:12:34

He's working hard so his wife can have a nice house, nice holidays.

0:12:340:12:37

It's a good point, Bex.

0:12:370:12:39

I'm sorry, could you be any more sexist?

0:12:390:12:41

Yeah, that is a bit sexist, Don.

0:12:410:12:42

-I can't believe how sexist that is, Don.

-I'm just trying to help.

0:12:420:12:45

DOOR OPENS KEELEY: Hiya.

Um... This is my mum and dad.

0:12:520:12:54

-This is Don and Paula.

-Hi.

0:12:540:12:56

-Hello, Zak.

-Hello, Zak.

0:12:560:12:58

And this is my sister, Bex.

0:12:580:13:00

- And her husband, Murray. - Hi, Zak.

0:13:000:13:02

-Hey.

-Um...

0:13:020:13:04

Why...? Why aren't you in Turkey?

0:13:040:13:06

They've... They've split up.

0:13:070:13:08

- Temporarily. - Is it my fault?

0:13:080:13:10

No, it's not your fault. You know, it's been on the cards for a while.

0:13:100:13:13

-A while?

-What are you talking about?

0:13:130:13:15

I mean, he's the best thing that's ever happened to you.

0:13:150:13:18

Oh, thank you, Don.

0:13:180:13:19

When you think of some of the idiots you were with before...

0:13:190:13:21

Yes, your father's right.

0:13:210:13:23

I mean, it beggars belief. I mean,

0:13:310:13:33

I've got a box of chocolates for you, Paula.

0:13:340:13:36

Oh!

0:13:360:13:38

And for you, Don, a nut sock for your new bird table.

0:13:380:13:41

-Oh...

-That's...

0:13:410:13:43

-Thank you, Zak.

-..that's lovely.

0:13:430:13:45

They're a mixture of white and dark truffles.

0:13:470:13:50

Yeah... Can we get back to my list?

0:13:500:13:52

Dad, you know, Zak and Keeley are here.

0:13:520:13:54

-Yeah, I don't think we should...

-Well, they don't mind.

0:13:540:13:57

OK, fine. Yeah, put "promising one thing and then doing another".

0:13:570:14:00

-That won't fit on the board.

-What do you mean?

0:14:000:14:02

Well, you said you'd to talk to Curtis

0:14:020:14:04

about not taking so much work on.

0:14:040:14:06

Ah, yes, well, I'm actually going in to see him this afternoon.

0:14:060:14:08

Yeah, I'm sorry, but I've actually heard all that before.

0:14:080:14:11

Really, I am. SHE SIGHS

0:14:110:14:13

-At least give him a chance, Bex.

-Yes, your mother's right.

0:14:130:14:15

Yeah, thanks for the input, but this is...this is between me and Murray.

0:14:150:14:18

The nut sock works for most bird tables.

0:14:230:14:26

You can hang it loose, or...

0:14:280:14:30

lie it on the flat bit.

0:14:300:14:32

Yeah. I'm sure it's wonderful.

Oh, hi, Emma. Have you seen Curtis today?

0:14:560:14:58

Aren't you meant to be in Turkey?

0:14:580:15:00

Ah, yes. Er...

0:15:000:15:02

Oh, it's just, um...

0:15:020:15:04

Well, Bex and I are experiencing

0:15:040:15:06

a few difficulties in our marriage at the moment, and, er...

0:15:060:15:09

..she's moved out.

0:15:110:15:13

-That's fantastic!

-Sorry?

0:15:130:15:15

That's terrible. Really terrible.

0:15:150:15:16

Obviously, I'm going to do everything I can

0:15:160:15:18

to get her back, so...

0:15:180:15:19

Is there any point if she's already made her mind up?

0:15:190:15:22

It's not cut and dried yet, so...

0:15:220:15:23

-But she's moved out.

-Temporarily.

0:15:230:15:25

-She must be mad to leave you.

-Sorry?

0:15:250:15:28

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to imply

0:15:280:15:29

that she was, you know, actually mad!

0:15:290:15:31

-I didn't think you were. I was just...

-Is she, though?

0:15:310:15:34

I mean, not clinically, but has she had any...

0:15:340:15:38

..trouble in the past?

Yeah, I'm not in Turkey.

0:15:570:15:58

I'll cut to the chase. Er, Bex has left me.

0:15:580:16:01

-Oh, no.

-Yeah.

0:16:010:16:02

So we didn't think it was that good an idea to go on holiday together.

0:16:020:16:05

I'm really sorry, mate.

0:16:050:16:07

Tamzin always held you two up as having the perfect marriage.

0:16:070:16:09

Yeah, well... HE SIGHS

0:16:090:16:11

-..these things happen, you know.

-So who is it, then?

0:16:110:16:14

-What?

-Who's the lucky lady you're...

0:16:140:16:16

-There is no lucky lady.

-Is it Ruth from foreign exchange?

0:16:160:16:18

-No!

-Come on, you can tell me.

-There's no-one.

0:16:180:16:20

-Come on.

-There isn't anyone.

-Come on, Murray.

-There's no-one!

0:16:200:16:23

OK. OK.

0:16:230:16:25

-So who's Bex seeing?

-Bex isn't seeing anyone either!

0:16:260:16:29

OK. Fine. If that's what you want to believe.

0:16:290:16:32

Oh, very nice.

0:16:340:16:36

Maybe I should have done a bit more of that.

0:16:360:16:38

How often do you get Tamzin flowers?

0:16:380:16:40

These aren't for Tamzin.

0:16:410:16:43

They're for...someone else.

0:16:430:16:45

-Oh.

-My...

0:16:450:16:46

roofer.

0:16:460:16:47

Well, his wife. They...work as a team.

0:16:470:16:51

OK. Actually, I wanted to run something past you.

0:16:510:16:54

-Um...

-Just a heads-up, but in an ideal world,

0:16:540:16:56

Tamzin wouldn't need to know about the flowers.

0:16:560:16:58

-Sure, yeah. Fine.

-By the way, did you find that memory stick?

0:16:580:17:01

-Er, yeah.

-Good, cos I've got enough problems with Pentratech as it is,

0:17:010:17:04

without telling them I've lost all their data.

0:17:040:17:06

In fact, I might need you to go over and see them.

0:17:060:17:08

Actually, it's on that point I wanted to discuss, because...

0:17:080:17:12

well, Bex thinks that part of our problem might be

0:17:120:17:15

that I've got my work-life balance wrong, and I was thinking of...

0:17:150:17:19

going part-time.

0:17:190:17:21

Or maybe some sort of flexitime arrangement.

0:17:220:17:24

Hi, Murray.

0:17:500:17:52

I was wondering if now might be a good time

0:17:520:17:54

to talk about my performance review.

0:17:540:17:55

Not really, Nereesha. I'm not really supposed to be in today.

0:17:550:17:58

-I'm meant to be in Turkey, remember?

-It's just that

0:17:580:18:01

I was meant to have the opportunity to present my views on it yesterday.

0:18:010:18:04

Yes, yes, I'm sorry about that. Turned into quite a stressful day.

0:18:040:18:08

It says here, and I quote,

0:18:080:18:10

"Nereesha doesn't always display the flexibility

0:18:100:18:13

"that the situation requires."

0:18:130:18:15

It's a small criticism. Er, could we pick this up another time?

0:18:150:18:17

I'd rather we deal with it now.

0:18:170:18:19

Yes, you see, this is where that word "flexibility" comes in.

No. No, no. I don't. Um...

0:19:020:19:04

I can't get hold of him on his mobile.

0:19:040:19:06

We're going to the theatre. He said to meet him here at 5.30.

0:19:060:19:10

Oh, yes. He's... He's got a meeting with, um...

0:19:100:19:13

-..I think it was marketing.

-Right.

0:19:150:19:17

Cos his assistant said there's nothing in his diary.

0:19:170:19:20

This keeps happening.

0:19:200:19:21

Is there something I should know, Murray?

0:19:210:19:24

No. No, no, no, absolutely, definitely not.

0:19:240:19:27

In fact, actually, yeah, I...

0:19:270:19:28

I remember, um, he was going to get his phone fixed

0:19:280:19:32

at the...phone shop, yes.

0:19:320:19:34

Yeah, it was the phone shop, yeah.

0:19:340:19:36

Right. I'll just wait here for him, then.

What am I doing here? We're going to the theatre...to see Cats.

0:19:550:19:59

Of course. Yes. Cats, that's why I rushed back from the meeting.

0:19:590:20:02

The phone shop.

0:20:020:20:03

Yeah.

0:20:050:20:06

0:20:060:20:08

-Hello, Murray.

-Hi, Curtis.

0:20:080:20:10

Tamzin. Sorry, I was just in the...cafe.

0:20:100:20:12

So you got your phone fixed? OK, cos I know

0:20:120:20:14

you're having a problem with your phone.

0:20:140:20:16

Yeah. They did a good job fixing it. It's a...pretty good phone shop.

0:20:160:20:19

It is a good phone shop, yeah. I got my phone fixed there, too, so...

0:20:190:20:23

So the good thing is,

0:20:230:20:25

if we need to make any calls on the way to Cats, we can.

0:20:250:20:28

I thought we agreed, Curtis,

0:20:280:20:31

that you would get back to me if I called.

0:20:310:20:34

Yeah, but the phone wasn't working.

0:20:340:20:37

That's why I was in the phone shop.

0:20:370:20:39

Well...

0:20:390:20:41

We don't want me getting all suspicious again,

0:20:410:20:44

It's just that I'm going to my sister's.

0:21:430:21:45

I promised I'd be her eyes for the next week.

0:21:450:21:47

But the trouble is, well,

0:21:470:21:49

I'm worried about leaving Don on his own.

0:21:490:21:51

Oh! Oh, don't worry. You know, I can look in on him, make sure he's OK.

0:21:510:21:55

He hasn't said a word for two hours,

0:21:550:21:56

and he's thrown that bird table on the bonfire.

0:21:560:21:59

-As I said...

-I've packed a suitcase.

0:26:350:26:38

You're at Abby's.

0:26:380:26:40

-Keeley's, well...

-Hopeless.

0:26:400:26:42

Yeah, well, something like that. Oh!

0:26:420:26:44

-Thank you.

-Hey, I don't mind.

0:26:460:26:49

I've lost a wife, but, hey, I've gained a 64-year-old housemate.

0:26:500:26:55

Oh!

0:26:550:26:57

I, er...spoke to Curtis, by the way.

0:26:570:27:00

About going part-time.

0:27:000:27:01

Oh, yeah? How did that go?

0:27:010:27:03

-They offered me a promotion.

-I see.

0:27:030:27:05

More money. A company car.

0:27:050:27:07

Good. Congratulations. I'm sure...

0:27:090:27:10

I turned it down.

0:27:100:27:12

Oh.

0:27:120:27:14

OK.

0:27:140:27:15

Right.

0:27:150:27:16

Good, right...

0:27:180:27:20

Well, one more heave...

0:27:200:27:21

I reckon we can get him onto the sofa.

0:27:210:27:24

Come on, Don. Come on, Don. Standing up.

0:27:240:27:26

There we go.

0:27:260:27:28

-Walking now. Walking.

-Help.

0:27:280:27:30

-Let's all go to the wedding.

-No, we're not going to the wedding, Don.

0:27:300:27:33

We're going to the sofa. Come on.

0:27:330:27:37

One, two, three. Oh!

0:27:370:27:39

SOFA CRUNCHES LOUDLY

0:27:390:27:41

Grant!

0:27:410:27:44

PHONE RINGS OK...

0:27:440:27:45

Hi, Mum.

0:27:480:27:49

Yeah, yeah, I'm still up.

0:27:490:27:51

Oh, well, I've had better.

0:27:510:27:54

Oh, you're on the line, too, Dad.

0:27:540:27:55

Hi. Er...

0:27:550:27:57

Sorry, Mum, could you just hold a second?

0:27:570:27:59

Yes.

0:27:590:28:01

It's my parents.

0:28:010:28:02

Could you tell them?

0:28:050:28:06

I'm chairing a committee for the CT fundraiser at the moment,

0:28:070:28:10

and I'm completely swamped.

0:28:100:28:12

-You did find that memory stick, didn't you?

-Yeah.

0:28:120:28:15

What are you doing here?

0:28:150:28:17

No.
