0:00:05 > 0:00:09I always think how well you look, hatless amid the broccoli.

0:00:09 > 0:00:12It's mainly cabbage.

0:00:12 > 0:00:15I don't think that seriously modifies my observation.

0:00:15 > 0:00:18Is he attending to you, Mrs Hussein?

0:00:18 > 0:00:20Not as well as I'd like.

0:00:21 > 0:00:23Well, she comes right out with it.

0:00:23 > 0:00:27Could I point out that this is only a starter sample

0:00:27 > 0:00:29of the options available?

0:00:48 > 0:00:50LEROY YAWNS

0:00:55 > 0:01:01I'm not giving the till any money this morning, so if it's listening,

0:01:01 > 0:01:06it should understand that I'm merely walking past,

0:01:06 > 0:01:09on my way to another errand entirely.

0:01:18 > 0:01:19Ah!

0:01:23 > 0:01:26GRANVILLE CHUCKLES Gotcha! In you go.

0:01:26 > 0:01:27Right, I...

0:01:27 > 0:01:29I said, "In you go".

0:01:31 > 0:01:34In you...

0:01:34 > 0:01:35In!

0:01:38 > 0:01:40This till has got to be retired.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42Ow!

0:01:48 > 0:01:51Serves you right. You should get a new one.

0:01:51 > 0:01:55Your Great Uncle Arkwright is living in there somewhere.

0:01:55 > 0:01:56It's just a till!

0:01:59 > 0:02:01GRANVILLE COUGHS

0:02:01 > 0:02:03And to think you only used to believe in money.

0:02:03 > 0:02:08The spirit of the till will not reveal itself to you because...

0:02:08 > 0:02:10GRANVILLE COUGHS

0:02:10 > 0:02:12..you're young, and you think you know it all.

0:02:13 > 0:02:17Right, what am I having for me breakfast?

0:02:17 > 0:02:20Gastric, YOU are supposed to tell US.

0:02:20 > 0:02:23Not round here. He sells you stuff he wants to get rid of.

0:02:29 > 0:02:31Good morning, Gastric.

0:02:31 > 0:02:33- Morning. - Look at this.

0:02:33 > 0:02:35Fresh kippers, there, look. A gentleman's breakfast.

0:02:35 > 0:02:39- And that is fresh from the smokery. - You see?

0:02:39 > 0:02:40I'll take a pair.

0:02:41 > 0:02:45I can pick the bones out me teeth while I'm pondering.

0:02:45 > 0:02:47Deep thoughts?

0:02:47 > 0:02:50Why not? Did you think I were thick?

0:02:52 > 0:02:54Never. Not once.

0:02:54 > 0:02:57Even when you thought Colchester were a lung infection.

0:02:57 > 0:03:00Colchester. I'm told me Uncle Willie had it.

0:03:00 > 0:03:01- Did he get better? - No.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03Well, he probably DID have it, then.

0:03:03 > 0:03:06I'll tell you what I've got - problems with that Madge.

0:03:06 > 0:03:07I'm at a crossroads.

0:03:07 > 0:03:11- I'm in the dark.- Well, I think we can help you with that.

0:03:11 > 0:03:14Well, why would you bother? I've already bought two kippers.

0:03:14 > 0:03:18Gastric, everything's not about money.

0:03:22 > 0:03:26You bring your problems in here, you know, and I like that.

0:03:26 > 0:03:29You feel you're in the dark? Right.

0:03:30 > 0:03:33- We have the answer.- I'm listening. - Here it is.

0:03:33 > 0:03:38One solid steel all-weather torch with a wrist strap

0:03:38 > 0:03:43with flashing capabilities for emergencies, batteries not included.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45Thank you. Right.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49Are you sure this butter's fresh?

0:03:49 > 0:03:51Mm?

0:03:51 > 0:03:52GRANVILLE SIGHS

0:03:57 > 0:03:59Yes, it's perfectly fresh.

0:03:59 > 0:04:01Oh.

0:04:03 > 0:04:05There was poor Gastric,

0:04:05 > 0:04:07looking for a bit of sympathy, and what does he get?

0:04:07 > 0:04:08A flashlight.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11The man said he were in a dark place.

0:04:11 > 0:04:15Mentally! It's Madge. He's worried she might be leaving.

0:04:15 > 0:04:18I'm worried she might be leaving if she's taking Mavis with her.

0:04:19 > 0:04:22He's concerned that he's getting nowhere with Madge.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25Well, he should take her out more often, shouldn't he, eh?

0:04:27 > 0:04:31Can you name one single night when he's ever taken her out?

0:04:31 > 0:04:33Eh? No!

0:04:33 > 0:04:37Well, he's got no excuse now, because he got a torch!

0:04:40 > 0:04:41And do you know what you said to me?

0:04:42 > 0:04:44"The bathroom needs new tiles."

0:04:44 > 0:04:46Is that so terrible?

0:04:46 > 0:04:48I was trying to kiss you at the time!

0:04:49 > 0:04:54I had both hands full with your dinner. You pick a hell of a time.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57In days gone by, you would have put down the plates.

0:04:57 > 0:04:59Today, I'm just part of the furniture.

0:04:59 > 0:05:01If you're sulking because of how long it is since

0:05:01 > 0:05:03you've had a polish, then you can forget it!

0:05:06 > 0:05:08You used to look at me, and it was like...

0:05:08 > 0:05:10..a light bulb going on.

0:05:10 > 0:05:12I'm talking 200 watts.

0:05:12 > 0:05:14Are we going into town or aren't we?

0:05:14 > 0:05:16Nowadays, I'm lucky if I get 40.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21I mean, how much excitement can you get from 40 watts?

0:05:21 > 0:05:23Stop bragging. You peak at 30.

0:05:28 > 0:05:32Go for it. Up your game, now.

0:05:32 > 0:05:33Invite her out.

0:05:33 > 0:05:35Tonight.

0:05:35 > 0:05:38To be honest, I have trouble getting past, "Hello, Madge".

0:05:38 > 0:05:40I'm OK as far as, "Hello, Madge".

0:05:40 > 0:05:42- Do you want me to come with you? - Yes.

0:05:42 > 0:05:46No. He's got to do this.

0:05:46 > 0:05:48Tell her you want to take her somewhere nice.

0:05:48 > 0:05:51A little token of appreciation for all of the...

0:05:51 > 0:05:54- Ferocious rollickings she gives him. - Mm.

0:05:54 > 0:05:57It gets so you nearly enjoy it.

0:05:57 > 0:06:00It's like being wrapped in warm nettles.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05Tell her we're all going out posh tonight,

0:06:05 > 0:06:07and you want to take her with us.

0:06:07 > 0:06:09Does that come straight after "Hello, Madge," or do I have to...?

0:06:09 > 0:06:13Just...will you go?!

0:06:13 > 0:06:15And how is Mrs Roper?

0:06:15 > 0:06:17Oh, it's our 40th next month.

0:06:17 > 0:06:20Oh, you must be getting used to each other by now, then.

0:06:20 > 0:06:23People ask me, "What's the secret?" And I say, "It's simple.

0:06:23 > 0:06:25"The man has to be in charge."

0:06:25 > 0:06:27Oh!

0:06:27 > 0:06:28Is Mrs Roper aware of that?

0:06:28 > 0:06:31Oh, you don't tell her. You go about it crafty.

0:06:31 > 0:06:33And you might, if you're really cunning,

0:06:33 > 0:06:36go as far as letting her think that SHE'S in charge.

0:06:36 > 0:06:39Well, you seem to have pulled that one off, Mr Roper.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41Well, is there anything else?

0:06:41 > 0:06:43No, no, you're fine.

0:06:43 > 0:06:45You don't get to 40 years without learning a few tricks.

0:06:45 > 0:06:48No, that's true.

0:06:48 > 0:06:50Oh, that'll be £5 for the kippers then, please.

0:06:54 > 0:06:59Oh, thank you. Right.

0:06:59 > 0:07:01Did Mrs Roper get her torch?

0:07:01 > 0:07:05- Torch?- Yes, last time she was in, she said she wanted a torch

0:07:05 > 0:07:09for emergencies, and, well, I hadn't got one in at the time.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11Emergencies? I handle the emergencies.

0:07:11 > 0:07:15She probably thinks that you've noticed that she needs a torch

0:07:15 > 0:07:19for emergencies. I mean, you being, you know, in charge.

0:07:19 > 0:07:22Yeah, that's true. She relies on me.

0:07:22 > 0:07:23Of course.

0:07:23 > 0:07:26Well, after 40 years, I expect you get like that, don't you?

0:07:26 > 0:07:29You know, practically knowing each other's thoughts.

0:07:29 > 0:07:30Yes, you do.

0:07:31 > 0:07:33Have you got a torch in now?

0:07:33 > 0:07:35Funnily enough, I got some in specially, yes.

0:07:35 > 0:07:40There you are. That's a solid steel all-weather torch with a wrist strap

0:07:40 > 0:07:43and flashing capabilities for emergencies, batteries not included.

0:07:44 > 0:07:47- I'd better take one. - Decisions - I like that.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49I like that - shows that you're in charge.

0:07:49 > 0:07:53Right, so that's £15 for the torch, £5 for the kippers -

0:07:53 > 0:07:55that's exactly £20.

0:07:55 > 0:07:57Well done. You just owe me for the batteries.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00GRANVILLE HUMS

0:08:05 > 0:08:08You two really are twitchy.

0:08:08 > 0:08:12Have you thought about Doctor Proctor's nerve tonic?

0:08:12 > 0:08:13No!

0:08:13 > 0:08:18Hey, this is too serious. We're not buying any rubbish.

0:08:18 > 0:08:20Oh, that IS serious.

0:08:20 > 0:08:22Be gentle with us. Go easy for once.

0:08:22 > 0:08:26You sold us an ice cream, we only came in for advice.

0:08:26 > 0:08:28It's no good appealing to his better nature.

0:08:29 > 0:08:32He's never known the perils of matrimony.

0:08:32 > 0:08:33GRANVILLE CHUCKLES What?

0:08:33 > 0:08:36You two only have to deal with one housewife.

0:08:36 > 0:08:41Me, I have to deal with at least 20 housewives a day.

0:08:41 > 0:08:45If you want any advice about how to handle wives,

0:08:45 > 0:08:47you have come to the right place.

0:08:49 > 0:08:51- We're listening. - But, hey...

0:08:52 > 0:08:54..no Doctor Proctor's, eh?

0:08:54 > 0:09:00The trouble is, with you two, your wives are taking you for granted.

0:09:01 > 0:09:05Now, they wouldn't do if they thought that

0:09:05 > 0:09:07you were seeing another woman.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11- BOTH:- She'd kill him!

0:09:13 > 0:09:16I don't mean a real other woman.

0:09:16 > 0:09:19What I mean is, you get a friend of yours to put on a wig,

0:09:19 > 0:09:21and just dress up a bit.

0:09:22 > 0:09:27- That's a big bit!- Where do we find somebody as loopy as that?

0:09:33 > 0:09:34Uh-uh!

0:09:35 > 0:09:39Then, I'm sorry, gentlemen, we do not carry one in stock.

0:09:39 > 0:09:43You're just going to have to look up your long list of acquaintances.

0:09:43 > 0:09:44Thank you.

0:09:49 > 0:09:51- BOTH:- Newbold!

0:10:03 > 0:10:05Oh, is he not in?

0:10:06 > 0:10:09Duty calls him elsewhere at the moment, Mrs Featherstone.

0:10:09 > 0:10:11Can I be of assistance?

0:10:11 > 0:10:13Are you qualified for the mature person?

0:10:13 > 0:10:16You always make me feel as if I'm involved with a toy boy.

0:10:18 > 0:10:21I didn't mean, "Can I be of that much assistance?"

0:10:21 > 0:10:24I've never been happy disclosing my needs to persons of your generation.

0:10:24 > 0:10:25You're always very polite,

0:10:25 > 0:10:28but God knows what you get up to on the internet.

0:10:29 > 0:10:32Is there any specific reason you don't like me attending to you?

0:10:32 > 0:10:35I have seen you covered in trollop,

0:10:35 > 0:10:37up to your eyebrows in trainee hussies.

0:10:38 > 0:10:40Not recently, Mrs Featherstone.

0:10:40 > 0:10:42I'm chasing a vegan.

0:10:42 > 0:10:44Are there any left?

0:10:46 > 0:10:49You could do worse than model yourself on Mr Newbold.

0:10:49 > 0:10:52He is a man of impeccable self-restraint.

0:10:53 > 0:10:54Damn near soporific.

0:10:56 > 0:10:57Don't be shy of asking me.

0:10:57 > 0:10:59What are friends for? What can I do for you?

0:11:03 > 0:11:06- Tell him. - I'm telling him!

0:11:06 > 0:11:08I'm choosing the words.

0:11:11 > 0:11:13What if...

0:11:13 > 0:11:17our wives got the idea that we were showing an interest

0:11:17 > 0:11:18in another woman?

0:11:19 > 0:11:23But of course, on account of the mortal danger it would involve...

0:11:28 > 0:11:31..we can't afford to get mixed up with a REAL other woman.

0:11:31 > 0:11:35So, we need to be seen, if only at a distance,

0:11:36 > 0:11:39..in the company of, shall we say...

0:11:42 > 0:11:44..a strange woman.

0:11:45 > 0:11:48In which case, your help would prove invaluable.

0:11:50 > 0:11:51I already have a strange woman.

0:11:54 > 0:11:57And I doubt whether you'd want one as strange as that.

0:11:58 > 0:12:00We need an illusion of a woman.

0:12:00 > 0:12:02Oh, she's no illusion.

0:12:03 > 0:12:07- Woman enough to get the rumours circulating.- Mm.

0:12:07 > 0:12:09But, hang on...

0:12:10 > 0:12:12..I'm getting an idea here.

0:12:14 > 0:12:15What you need...

0:12:16 > 0:12:17..is some chap.

0:12:18 > 0:12:20Go on.

0:12:20 > 0:12:25It's a lot to ask. He'd have to be very well disposed towards you.

0:12:25 > 0:12:28- An absolute jewel. - Top of the heap.

0:12:30 > 0:12:32Someone willing to play the part...

0:12:33 > 0:12:35..of a lady.

0:12:38 > 0:12:40Now, don't dismiss it out of hand.

0:12:40 > 0:12:42Oh, no.

0:12:43 > 0:12:45I realise it's a big step.

0:12:47 > 0:12:50And where are you likely to find an idiot like that?

0:12:58 > 0:13:00No!

0:13:00 > 0:13:02Absolutely not!

0:13:07 > 0:13:09I don't really need a torch.

0:13:11 > 0:13:13You need a proper restaurant.

0:13:15 > 0:13:18You can't take Madge and Mavis to some greasy spoon.

0:13:18 > 0:13:21I know it's not that you lack the nerve, but really.

0:13:22 > 0:13:23Thank you.

0:13:23 > 0:13:26Ah! Oh! Ah!

0:13:28 > 0:13:30Yes, but if I'm paying,

0:13:30 > 0:13:35you know that my digestive system can't handle expensive.

0:13:35 > 0:13:37I'm told this restaurant's reasonable.

0:13:37 > 0:13:40Huh. I shan't enjoy it.

0:13:40 > 0:13:43I'll be wondering about how you're getting on minding the shop.

0:13:44 > 0:13:46But I'm not minding the shop.

0:13:46 > 0:13:49I'm going with you. I've invited a young lady.

0:13:49 > 0:13:50Well, who's minding the shop?

0:13:56 > 0:13:58Take a deep breath, listen to me...

0:13:59 > 0:14:01..can't we close early, for once?

0:14:04 > 0:14:06You see what he thinks?

0:14:06 > 0:14:07Well, what do YOU think?

0:14:08 > 0:14:10I'm with him.

0:14:17 > 0:14:19GRANVILLE HUMS

0:14:19 > 0:14:24Oh! By the look of you two, this is not happy hour.

0:14:24 > 0:14:26Old Newbold won't do it.

0:14:26 > 0:14:28He refuses flatly to go girlie.

0:14:28 > 0:14:32No problem. You do it yourselves.

0:14:32 > 0:14:34You become your own other woman.

0:14:36 > 0:14:38One of you goes female,

0:14:38 > 0:14:44and then you take turns so that you can both be seen out

0:14:44 > 0:14:46with another woman.

0:14:46 > 0:14:48Would I want to be seen out with him?

0:14:50 > 0:14:53Hey! I don't fancy you that much, either.

0:14:54 > 0:14:56Listen, you're not going to get married,

0:14:56 > 0:15:00you're just doing it to start a rumour, aren't you?

0:15:00 > 0:15:02All right, I'll tell you what -

0:15:02 > 0:15:05we'll toss a coin for who goes female first.

0:15:05 > 0:15:07Right.

0:15:07 > 0:15:10Arkwright, can I borrow a coin?

0:15:10 > 0:15:12Thank you. I shall return it.

0:15:12 > 0:15:16Right, I'm going to toss the coin, you call.

0:15:16 > 0:15:18Loser goes first.

0:15:19 > 0:15:22- Tails. - Heads.

0:15:23 > 0:15:25Oh!

0:15:25 > 0:15:27GRANVILLE CHUCKLES

0:15:27 > 0:15:28Hello, sweetie.

0:15:28 > 0:15:31CYRIL LAUGHS

0:15:34 > 0:15:37Come away. It's locked and bolted.

0:15:37 > 0:15:39Not to mention locked and bolted.

0:15:41 > 0:15:42GRANVILLE GRUNTS

0:15:42 > 0:15:45Oh, you've overloaded the money belt.

0:15:45 > 0:15:49I'm not leaving my innocent money to get into the clutches

0:15:49 > 0:15:50of evil toerags.

0:15:52 > 0:15:55- Who parked that thing there? - I've no idea.

0:15:56 > 0:15:58What's he doing now?

0:15:59 > 0:16:02He's telling Arkwright to keep an eye on the shop.

0:16:02 > 0:16:05Don't ask. Right, I'll see you at the restaurant.

0:16:12 > 0:16:15- Hang on a minute.- Oh, now what? - It's all right.

0:16:15 > 0:16:16- No, I'll be back in a flash. - Oh!

0:16:27 > 0:16:30Oh, my first customer.

0:16:30 > 0:16:32What a pity he's badly bent.

0:16:32 > 0:16:33Ah! Oh!

0:16:36 > 0:16:40Listen, if you see anybody going to the shop, give them a whistle

0:16:40 > 0:16:43and get them back over here, cos I've stocked you well up.

0:16:43 > 0:16:44I'm on a power trip.

0:16:46 > 0:16:50And if they look half kettled, sell them a torch.

0:16:50 > 0:16:54- I'll torch them to death.- Yes! - Trust me, I'm on a roll.- Good.

0:16:54 > 0:16:57Now, any problems, give me a call, all right?

0:17:24 > 0:17:26- Get in! - Oh!

0:17:29 > 0:17:30Can we get the old gentleman a chair?

0:17:42 > 0:17:44Well, what's anybody having?

0:17:45 > 0:17:46A coronary.

0:17:48 > 0:17:53Every time I see these prices, my money belt gives a twinge.

0:17:53 > 0:17:57You're out of touch. How long is it since you last went out for a meal?

0:17:57 > 0:18:02I'll tell you how long it's going to be before I go out for the next one.

0:18:02 > 0:18:04Well, you only live once.

0:18:13 > 0:18:15She's a vegan.

0:18:15 > 0:18:17Still, I don't see why they can't let her into town!

0:18:20 > 0:18:24I only mention it to explain why we'll be having our own table.

0:18:24 > 0:18:26You wouldn't want to be sat next to a couple of people

0:18:26 > 0:18:28crunching through salad, would you?

0:18:28 > 0:18:30So, what will you be having?

0:18:31 > 0:18:33Oh... My favourite salad.

0:18:33 > 0:18:35Oh, isn't love grand?

0:18:36 > 0:18:38How long have you been on salad?

0:18:40 > 0:18:42Since I showed him the benefits.

0:18:42 > 0:18:44I can see where he sees the benefits.

0:18:47 > 0:18:49And what can we get you people?

0:18:49 > 0:18:50A mortgage!

0:18:52 > 0:18:54Could you give us a couple more minutes?

0:18:57 > 0:18:58I've got to release this thing.

0:19:16 > 0:19:18They'll all be at the restaurant.

0:19:18 > 0:19:21It'll give you a chance to show them how close we're becoming.

0:19:21 > 0:19:24They should know already. You keep telling them.

0:19:24 > 0:19:27There's nothing like them witnessing your show of affection.

0:19:27 > 0:19:30"Show"? How much of a show?

0:19:30 > 0:19:34Well, just the usual courtesies. I don't want you mauling me.

0:19:34 > 0:19:36Much can be achieved by the right expression.

0:19:40 > 0:19:41Just not the one you're wearing now.

0:19:47 > 0:19:49I know him from some place.

0:19:49 > 0:19:51Stop staring, it's rude.

0:20:02 > 0:20:05What, already? We haven't even eaten.

0:20:05 > 0:20:07I was saving it for later.

0:20:12 > 0:20:17Nobody wants her to leave the area. I keep telling her.

0:20:17 > 0:20:19Mrs Duckett says the omens are wrong.

0:20:20 > 0:20:23I keep reminding her what happened when she went to Bridlington.

0:20:23 > 0:20:25I only went for a day.

0:20:25 > 0:20:27Exactly. If you can't get a day right,

0:20:27 > 0:20:29where do you get the nerve to try forever?

0:20:29 > 0:20:34Oh, go on, girl! I love it when you're roused.

0:20:34 > 0:20:37Thank you. I'll have the squid.

0:20:38 > 0:20:41Hey, you do know that a squid has eight arms?

0:20:42 > 0:20:46Given the right circumstances, I can do a very good impression.

0:20:46 > 0:20:47I know!

0:20:54 > 0:20:56Who's that with Cyril?

0:20:58 > 0:21:00And why did he bother?

0:21:00 > 0:21:03Oh, he'll look a bit sick when he sees us here.

0:21:03 > 0:21:05Don't you start gossiping,

0:21:05 > 0:21:08otherwise you'll get him into trouble with his wife.

0:21:08 > 0:21:10He's looking for trouble, bringing her here.

0:21:10 > 0:21:13She must be some brazen slapper.

0:21:28 > 0:21:30Who was that?

0:21:31 > 0:21:34Just a neighbour. Probably his auntie.

0:21:36 > 0:21:37Take your glasses off.

0:21:45 > 0:21:48Stop right there. Forget that notion.

0:21:48 > 0:21:50I wouldn't be caught dead with an old bag.

0:21:50 > 0:21:54You're my escort for the evening, and therefore, you are...

0:21:56 > 0:21:57..beautiful.

0:22:04 > 0:22:06Ooh, well!

0:22:06 > 0:22:09What a coincidence, seeing you people here.

0:22:09 > 0:22:13Mr Newbold's always whisking me off for a little dolce vita.

0:22:13 > 0:22:15Softening me up, I fear.

0:22:15 > 0:22:18It makes you wonder what they have in mind.

0:22:35 > 0:22:38I can see where you get yours from.

0:22:38 > 0:22:40What? You think I'm weird?

0:22:40 > 0:22:44You came to the library dressed as a banana.

0:22:44 > 0:22:46Only because my gherkin suit were at the dry cleaners.

0:22:49 > 0:22:52We'll get the word out now. She'll spread it.

0:22:52 > 0:22:54What if people come over here?

0:22:54 > 0:22:56How are you going to introduce me?

0:22:59 > 0:23:01- Vera.- Bog off!

0:23:04 > 0:23:05That's a wife's name.

0:23:05 > 0:23:08We're having an affair here, a hot fling.

0:23:14 > 0:23:17You're going over the top again.

0:23:17 > 0:23:19I'm seeking authenticity.

0:23:19 > 0:23:21It's not just the dress, you know.

0:23:21 > 0:23:23I need to...

0:23:23 > 0:23:24feel the person.

0:23:26 > 0:23:28OK. It's...

0:23:33 > 0:23:34Feel that?

0:23:38 > 0:23:39Will you be able to spell it?

0:23:39 > 0:23:41Why would I want to spell it?

0:23:41 > 0:23:43Dolores likes to cover all the angles.

0:23:43 > 0:23:45Maybe she's a perfectionist.

0:23:45 > 0:23:47More like obsessive.

0:23:47 > 0:23:50Oh, well, forgive me if Dolores is becoming too much of a bother!

0:23:55 > 0:24:00- Sorry?- You sold me crab apple, a boat-load of crab apple jelly.

0:24:04 > 0:24:07and tell them to hurry, because stocks are limited.

0:24:13 > 0:24:15Yes, that'll be Mrs Duckett.

0:24:15 > 0:24:18She pulled it off the old psychic internet.

0:24:18 > 0:24:22"Guaranteed to revitalise your romance", you said.

0:24:22 > 0:24:24Mm-hm?

0:24:24 > 0:24:25Does that look revitalised?

0:24:28 > 0:24:31I feed her bucketsful, and for what? Nothing.

0:24:31 > 0:24:34I'll tell you what I do get, malice.

0:24:34 > 0:24:36Did you get the additive?

0:24:36 > 0:24:40Oh, yes, yes. You sold me Doctor Proctor's additive.

0:24:40 > 0:24:42I've been lobbing drops in her every mouthful.

0:24:42 > 0:24:45I see. And did you wait for the trigger?

0:24:45 > 0:24:47Nobody mentioned a trigger.

0:24:48 > 0:24:50Oh, well, that's it, isn't it?

0:24:50 > 0:24:52You forgot the trigger.

0:24:52 > 0:24:57Now, I tell you what, you go back to her, with my blessing,

0:24:57 > 0:24:59take her home.

0:24:59 > 0:25:02She will be more than you can handle

0:25:02 > 0:25:07when she hears any Frank Sinatra album.

0:25:07 > 0:25:11- So, Frank Sinatra's the trigger? - Yes.

0:25:11 > 0:25:13Take her home, put the music on,

0:25:13 > 0:25:16but make sure you're holding on to something firm. Right?

0:25:29 > 0:25:31Is this you staring at my legs?

0:25:33 > 0:25:34You dropped a napkin.

0:25:35 > 0:25:38Well, there's no point in showing your affection under there.

0:25:38 > 0:25:41Let them see it in your eyes.
