0:00:54 > 0:00:56I need to answer the door!

0:00:56 > 0:00:58I'll get it.

0:01:07 > 0:01:08Mellie?

0:01:09 > 0:01:11Is that you?

0:01:16 > 0:01:17You call this a day off?

0:01:17 > 0:01:19What's the point of having a cleaner?

0:01:19 > 0:01:22The point is you said you'd play.

0:01:22 > 0:01:25HE GRUMBLES I want you to do a spot of cleaning.

0:01:25 > 0:01:28I shall be your slave from midday until teatime but until then...

0:01:28 > 0:01:30Yes, mistress?

0:01:31 > 0:01:33Shakespeare!

0:01:33 > 0:01:36- Oh, why?- Read it, slave boy!

0:01:43 > 0:01:45Oh.

0:01:45 > 0:01:47"Being your slave, what should I do but tend

0:01:47 > 0:01:50"Upon the hours and times of your desire?

0:01:50 > 0:01:53"I have no precious time at all to spend,

0:01:53 > 0:01:55"Nor services to do, till you require

0:01:55 > 0:01:59"Nor dare I chide the world-without-end hour

0:01:59 > 0:02:03"Whilst I, my sovereign, watch the clock for you

0:02:03 > 0:02:05"Nor think the bitterness of absence sour

0:02:05 > 0:02:08"When you have bid your servant once adieu

0:02:08 > 0:02:11"Nor dare I question with my jealous thought

0:02:11 > 0:02:14"Where you may be, or your affairs suppose

0:02:14 > 0:02:18"But, like a sad slave, stay and think of nought

0:02:18 > 0:02:22"Save, where you are how happy you make those

0:02:24 > 0:02:27"So true a fool is love that in your will

0:02:27 > 0:02:31"Though you do anything, he thinks no ill."

0:02:31 > 0:02:34I'm in no mood for your mithering this morning.

0:02:34 > 0:02:37I know it's parked badly, I'm only going to be here for a few minutes.

0:02:37 > 0:02:38Morning, Dr Carter.

0:02:38 > 0:02:42And don't even think of putting one of your "polite notices" on the windscreen.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44- I wasn't going to. - What does it mean, anyway?

0:02:44 > 0:02:48They're an attempt at non-confrontational resolution.

0:02:48 > 0:02:51Ludicrous. You know everyone is laughing at you?

0:02:51 > 0:02:53How d'you know about it?

0:02:53 > 0:02:56What? You do realise how ridiculous you look?

0:03:00 > 0:03:02I never wanted to wear yellow trousers!

0:03:06 > 0:03:07HE SIGHS

0:03:07 > 0:03:12"Let us seek out some desolate shade, and there

0:03:12 > 0:03:15"Weep our sad bosoms empty."

0:03:16 > 0:03:18CAN RATTLES

0:03:18 > 0:03:19# Juliet

0:03:19 > 0:03:23# The dice was loaded From the start

0:03:23 > 0:03:25# And I bet

0:03:25 > 0:03:28# That you exploded in my heart. #

0:03:30 > 0:03:33Hey, handsome, you need a backing singer?

0:03:33 > 0:03:36- You and me babe, how about it?- Oh!

0:03:36 > 0:03:38HE LAUGHS

0:03:41 > 0:03:44Slave! Where's my coffee!

0:03:46 > 0:03:48Good boy. Is it filter?

0:03:48 > 0:03:49No, no, it's from the tap.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52- What?- The cold tap.

0:03:53 > 0:03:56You wouldn't dare! You're my slave!

0:03:56 > 0:03:57Oh, I dare.

0:03:57 > 0:03:59But you're my slave! You're my slave!

0:03:59 > 0:04:01Say it, "You're my slave."

0:04:01 > 0:04:03I'm your slave.

0:04:04 > 0:04:07- But this slave is revolting.- Aah!

0:04:07 > 0:04:10Shhh! You'll wake the baby!

0:04:10 > 0:04:11Shhh!

0:04:15 > 0:04:17I'll call you later.

0:04:17 > 0:04:20Oh, look, there's Rory. Give him a wave.

0:04:39 > 0:04:42The floor's only just dry. Can you take your shoes off?

0:04:42 > 0:04:43Please?

0:04:53 > 0:04:56I'm too tired. I've been up all night.

0:04:58 > 0:04:59Take them off for me.

0:05:15 > 0:05:16Look at you.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20I'm just trying to be a good husband.

0:05:20 > 0:05:24Really? How's that working out for you?

0:05:24 > 0:05:27Cos to tell you the truth, it's making me feel a bit sick!

0:05:32 > 0:05:36Yeah, it is lovely... Now what about the butterfly farm?

0:05:36 > 0:05:38- I love the butterfly farm.- Oh.

0:05:38 > 0:05:41What? It's fantastic!

0:05:41 > 0:05:43I've taken Chloe loads of times.

0:05:43 > 0:05:46We could pop out to Honeybourne, there's a church conversion.

0:05:46 > 0:05:48Everybody likes butterflies.

0:05:48 > 0:05:51- I don't, I hate them. - Nobody hates them.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54I did the theatre, I liked that. Please don't make me do butterflies.

0:05:54 > 0:05:56OK, baby steps.

0:05:56 > 0:05:59Look, Harvard House is 14th-century glass

0:05:59 > 0:06:01or we could do Holy Trinity Church?

0:06:01 > 0:06:04They might be ringing the bells later - church bells -

0:06:04 > 0:06:05now you're talking.

0:06:05 > 0:06:07Oh, and you say you hate butterflies?

0:06:07 > 0:06:10One of my wives collected them, great big ceramic things.

0:06:10 > 0:06:13She made me bolt them to the front of the house.

0:06:13 > 0:06:15- Can you imagine how embarrassing that was?- One of them?!

0:06:15 > 0:06:17Really embarrassing.

0:06:17 > 0:06:18One of them?!

0:06:18 > 0:06:21I read about Holy Trinity's bells on the internet.

0:06:22 > 0:06:26"The tenor goes beautifully and should not be feared".

0:06:26 > 0:06:29Bit like your friend in the shower this morning, hm? Come on.

0:06:31 > 0:06:33See, the thing...

0:06:35 > 0:06:39..that's evaporated in this house is the testosterone.

0:06:39 > 0:06:42Well, that's what I reckon. What d'you think?

0:06:45 > 0:06:46OK.

0:06:47 > 0:06:48If you don't think anything,

0:06:48 > 0:06:51- you won't mind if Mick moves in for a bit.- Mick?

0:06:51 > 0:06:53With the 4x4?

0:06:53 > 0:06:57I stayed with him last night but you know all this agriculture stuff doesn't suit me.

0:06:57 > 0:06:58Just look at the muck in the hall.

0:06:58 > 0:07:02Obviously, me and Mick would be sleeping in our room.

0:07:03 > 0:07:05You don't mind, do you?

0:07:06 > 0:07:10ME, sleeping with MICK in OUR bed?

0:07:11 > 0:07:13Whatever you want.

0:07:13 > 0:07:14What I want?

0:07:14 > 0:07:16SHOUTS: What I want?!

0:07:16 > 0:07:18Don't you make me laugh!

0:07:19 > 0:07:22Yeah? What?

0:07:22 > 0:07:25Come on. You want to slap me?

0:07:25 > 0:07:28Oh, go right ahead, at least that'd be kind of honest.

0:07:29 > 0:07:30Oh, no, wait.

0:07:31 > 0:07:33You don't do honesty, do you?

0:07:33 > 0:07:34Hmm?

0:07:36 > 0:07:39Nah. Thought not.

0:07:40 > 0:07:41Imelda.

0:07:41 > 0:07:42Look at you.

0:07:45 > 0:07:47A pox-ridden toad,

0:07:47 > 0:07:49no scrap of self-respect,

0:07:49 > 0:07:54scraping and cleaning and making me feel sick!

0:07:55 > 0:07:57I don't know what to do any more.

0:07:57 > 0:08:01You must have a colour-coded microfibre cloth for this one, eh?

0:08:01 > 0:08:03Hmm? Red?

0:08:03 > 0:08:06For the mess your wife makes?

0:08:06 > 0:08:08Tell me what you want me to do.

0:08:08 > 0:08:10Not this.

0:08:13 > 0:08:15Not this.

0:08:20 > 0:08:23BABY GURGLES

0:08:23 > 0:08:25You want to know what I want for lunch?

0:08:25 > 0:08:27Excuse me?

0:08:27 > 0:08:31Do YOU want to know what I want for lunch?

0:08:31 > 0:08:32- Oh.- Ah!

0:08:32 > 0:08:34HE LAUGHS

0:08:34 > 0:08:36- Spaghetti puttanesca.- Ah-hah!

0:08:36 > 0:08:41- Whore's spaghetti?- Yes, the one my mother showed you to make, just how I like it.

0:08:41 > 0:08:44- Isn't that the one with anchovies? - Uh-huh.

0:08:44 > 0:08:46I don't think we've got any anchovies.

0:08:46 > 0:08:49Oh, look, and we haven't got any capers either.

0:08:49 > 0:08:53You'll have to think of something else, cos I am not going shopping.

0:08:53 > 0:08:57OK, even if you weren't my slave - which you are -

0:08:57 > 0:08:59if you loved me, you'd pop to Waitrose.

0:08:59 > 0:09:00Of course I love...

0:09:00 > 0:09:04If you think I am knocking up your mother's...spaghetti...

0:09:04 > 0:09:07then all I can say is...

0:09:11 > 0:09:14..lunch will be at half past one.

0:09:17 > 0:09:18Ah!

0:09:22 > 0:09:25You want to try nibbling the sponge off round the orangey bit.

0:09:26 > 0:09:27It's quite nice.

0:09:32 > 0:09:35I always knew I wasn't a people person, Mrs Tembe.

0:09:36 > 0:09:38But I thought I might have been a Parsons person.

0:09:39 > 0:09:42That was the most horrible day of my life.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44One of them anyway.

0:09:44 > 0:09:47And then Dr Carter tells me they're all laughing at me.

0:09:48 > 0:09:50I know they're laughing at me.

0:09:50 > 0:09:53Dr Carter has his own troubles at the moment.

0:09:53 > 0:09:57You should forgive his ill temper.

0:09:57 > 0:10:01Have another Jaffa Cake, put it all behind you.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06It ain't going to be any good, Mrs Tembe.

0:10:06 > 0:10:09I'd like to turn the other cheek, I really would,

0:10:09 > 0:10:12but if I you'd seen the way he looked at me.

0:10:12 > 0:10:17We both know that Dr Carter is not normally an aggressive man.

0:10:17 > 0:10:18Do we, Mrs Tembe? Do we?

0:10:18 > 0:10:23If I turn the other cheek, I reckon he's just going to slap that side of me face.

0:10:23 > 0:10:25He deserves another chance.

0:10:25 > 0:10:27He enjoyed telling me people laugh at me.

0:10:27 > 0:10:29How spiteful's that?

0:10:29 > 0:10:32That is hard to defend, but please...

0:10:33 > 0:10:34..for me...

0:10:36 > 0:10:37..can you make allowances?

0:10:39 > 0:10:41I'll try, Mrs Tembe.

0:10:46 > 0:10:48- You know what? Make it a triple.- OK.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51Hm, isn't that a nice word?

0:10:52 > 0:10:54Tri...ple.

0:10:55 > 0:10:57When you're ready.

0:11:01 > 0:11:02He's doing me a triple.

0:11:04 > 0:11:06Hello, I'm Imelda.

0:11:06 > 0:11:08Have we met?

0:11:09 > 0:11:11A treble? Allow me.

0:11:13 > 0:11:14Same again.

0:11:16 > 0:11:18I don't think we've met.

0:11:20 > 0:11:23I've been tempted by a couple of church conversions.

0:11:23 > 0:11:24Really?

0:11:24 > 0:11:27I went after a massive one, a few years back,

0:11:27 > 0:11:29just outside of Birmingham.

0:11:29 > 0:11:33A fancied it for a garage but there were change of use issues.

0:11:33 > 0:11:34It's a bingo hall now.

0:11:34 > 0:11:36Oh, I don't think I could cope

0:11:36 > 0:11:39with dead bodies being buried in my back garden.

0:11:39 > 0:11:41Oh, I could live with that.

0:11:41 > 0:11:44They'd go with the skeletons in your cupboard!

0:11:45 > 0:11:47One of your ex-wives?

0:11:47 > 0:11:48I haven't kept any secrets.

0:11:48 > 0:11:51We haven't really had time to get to know each other properly yet.

0:11:51 > 0:11:54No, that's true. So tell me.

0:11:54 > 0:11:58Well, it's nothing terrible, it's just, I have lived a life, Julia.

0:11:58 > 0:12:01Well, yes, of course you have. So tell me about it.

0:12:01 > 0:12:04- Only if you promise not to overreact.- Who, me?

0:12:04 > 0:12:08If you promise me that, I'll promise to be completely and utterly candid.

0:12:08 > 0:12:11No half-truths, no secrets.

0:12:11 > 0:12:14I'll tell you anything and everything you want to know.

0:12:14 > 0:12:16OK.

0:12:16 > 0:12:19So...how many wives have you had?

0:12:21 > 0:12:24I'm not usually the cup of sugar sort of neighbour

0:12:24 > 0:12:26- but it is both of our days off. - It's fine.

0:12:26 > 0:12:30I'm pathologically disinclined to go to a supermarket on my day off.

0:12:30 > 0:12:31Do you cook much?

0:12:31 > 0:12:32No!

0:12:32 > 0:12:36You should smartphone it. Imelda likes Nigella's.

0:12:36 > 0:12:37Slut or whore?

0:12:37 > 0:12:41- What?- What does the fragrant Nigella call her puttanesca?

0:12:41 > 0:12:43Slut's Spaghetti.

0:12:43 > 0:12:45Have you got tinned tomatoes?

0:12:45 > 0:12:48I am hopeless but I think we've got tinned tomatoes.

0:12:49 > 0:12:53Well, you've been a life-saver, thanks so much but Daniel's waiting.

0:12:53 > 0:12:55Can I get you anything else?

0:12:56 > 0:12:58The number of your cleaner!

0:12:58 > 0:13:00I wish our place sparkled like yours!

0:13:00 > 0:13:02You're looking at our cleaner.

0:13:02 > 0:13:05Ooh, have you got chilli flakes?

0:13:05 > 0:13:10He cooks, he cleans, what kind of superman are you?

0:13:10 > 0:13:12I hope your wife realises how lucky she is?

0:13:14 > 0:13:15I'm no prize.

0:13:15 > 0:13:17But...neither's Daniel.

0:13:17 > 0:13:18Chilli flakes!

0:13:18 > 0:13:20Here.

0:13:21 > 0:13:24And who said the new man had packed up his kit

0:13:24 > 0:13:26and gone back down the pit?

0:13:26 > 0:13:28You should give Daniel some tips.

0:13:28 > 0:13:30Rolling boil, right?

0:13:30 > 0:13:31Daniel's not a joke.

0:13:31 > 0:13:35Well, you should see him in his special rubber gloves.

0:13:36 > 0:13:38Plenty of salt in the water?

0:13:38 > 0:13:41- It's been lovely to chat, thanks so much.- I'm a joke.

0:13:43 > 0:13:45I've got no cleaner,

0:13:45 > 0:13:49no respect, no testosterone.

0:13:52 > 0:13:56I'm a pox-ridden toad in a sparkly house and I make my wife feel sick.

0:13:58 > 0:14:00OK, what's going on?

0:14:00 > 0:14:03Imelda wants to move her boyfriend in.

0:14:03 > 0:14:05Yeah, right(!)

0:14:06 > 0:14:10What? Whoa - your wife has a boyfriend?

0:14:10 > 0:14:11She will do it.

0:14:11 > 0:14:12What?

0:14:12 > 0:14:14Move him in.

0:14:14 > 0:14:16I let her do whatever she wants.

0:14:17 > 0:14:18Why?

0:14:18 > 0:14:22Because I owe her and I'm trying to save our marriage.

0:14:22 > 0:14:24What the hell did you do?

0:14:27 > 0:14:28Dr Carter?

0:14:28 > 0:14:31Mrs Tembe said I ought to have a...

0:14:40 > 0:14:43I was 17, she was 19.

0:14:43 > 0:14:44I was a virgin.

0:14:45 > 0:14:47She told me I'd got her pregnant.

0:14:47 > 0:14:50"Knocked her up" was how she put it.

0:14:50 > 0:14:51Very nice(!)

0:14:51 > 0:14:54Her name was Lesley, her family were debt collectors in Aston.

0:14:54 > 0:14:56You didn't mess with the Cribbinses.

0:14:56 > 0:14:58So you had to get married?

0:14:58 > 0:15:00It was 1964.

0:15:00 > 0:15:03But as it goes, I needn't have married Lesley Cribbins after all

0:15:03 > 0:15:05because she wasn't pregnant.

0:15:05 > 0:15:07She just always got what she wanted and she wanted me.

0:15:07 > 0:15:09I was a good-looking chap.

0:15:09 > 0:15:11Ooh, if you do say so yourself.

0:15:11 > 0:15:14Oh, she soon lost interest, started playing away.

0:15:14 > 0:15:17Girlie nights in Northfield turned out to be

0:15:17 > 0:15:21chips, half a dozen port 'n' lemons and a jump with a fitter from British Leyland.

0:15:21 > 0:15:24So what happened?

0:15:24 > 0:15:27She hooked up with a paint shop manager called Malcolm.

0:15:27 > 0:15:31They opened a bar in Torremolinos. Probably called it Big Lessie's.

0:15:33 > 0:15:36It killed me to think that my wife was...

0:15:36 > 0:15:37Well, the way she was.

0:15:39 > 0:15:41That I'd married a woman like that.

0:15:41 > 0:15:44'A woman does that and she's called a whore.'

0:15:44 > 0:15:47Imelda was in love and trusted me and I...

0:15:48 > 0:15:50I was a whore.

0:15:50 > 0:15:51Why?

0:15:51 > 0:15:53Because I could.

0:15:54 > 0:15:56I was young and selfish and...

0:15:57 > 0:15:58..not bad looking.

0:15:58 > 0:16:00Even if you do say so yourself.

0:16:00 > 0:16:04And I had a few quid. Liked to splash the cash.

0:16:04 > 0:16:06Sounds nice.

0:16:06 > 0:16:09Knickers dropped like share prices and I...

0:16:10 > 0:16:12I couldn't stop investing.

0:16:13 > 0:16:16And you really want me to tell you what I think?

0:16:16 > 0:16:20Wait...it gets worse.

0:16:20 > 0:16:21So you've had five wives?

0:16:21 > 0:16:22And um...

0:16:22 > 0:16:25Did you have a dozen kids with all these wifelets?

0:16:25 > 0:16:27No, only one.

0:16:27 > 0:16:30I thought I was firing blanks until I was 27.

0:16:30 > 0:16:32No, 28.

0:16:32 > 0:16:33Sarah's 28.

0:16:33 > 0:16:36Ah, where does time go?

0:16:36 > 0:16:37Yeah.

0:16:37 > 0:16:41Just one, my daughter.

0:16:41 > 0:16:42Which wife was that?

0:16:42 > 0:16:43The third.

0:16:43 > 0:16:45What happened to the second?

0:16:45 > 0:16:47She was kind of an action replay of the first,

0:16:47 > 0:16:49only with a penchant for taxi drivers.

0:16:49 > 0:16:52You want me to go on?

0:16:55 > 0:16:56I'm a bitch.

0:16:58 > 0:16:59Are you, now?

0:17:00 > 0:17:02I don't do intellectual.

0:17:04 > 0:17:06I just do physical.

0:17:06 > 0:17:08No romance.

0:17:10 > 0:17:12Interlocking with no introspection.

0:17:13 > 0:17:15I think I love it.

0:17:19 > 0:17:20< Get a room!

0:17:24 > 0:17:26Yes.

0:17:26 > 0:17:27Let's.

0:17:32 > 0:17:36We can't have children and it's all my fault.

0:17:36 > 0:17:38Infertility isn't a matter of blame.

0:17:38 > 0:17:43No? What about when you've given your faithful wife chlamydia?

0:17:43 > 0:17:45And she has no idea she has it...

0:17:45 > 0:17:47for years?

0:17:48 > 0:17:51What about when you finally get yourself together

0:17:51 > 0:17:54and stop putting her at risk but the damage is already done?

0:17:54 > 0:17:56And you're so arrogant that you never say anything?

0:17:56 > 0:18:00She's been diagnosed? She's completely infertile?

0:18:00 > 0:18:03Barren, will never have kids.

0:18:04 > 0:18:06Never be a mother.

0:18:06 > 0:18:07Tell me that's not all my fault.

0:18:07 > 0:18:11No. It really is.

0:18:11 > 0:18:12Don't go!

0:18:14 > 0:18:15Tell me what I should do?

0:18:15 > 0:18:17You said you'd tell me what you think.

0:18:17 > 0:18:21I think you're an unspeakable pig.

0:18:31 > 0:18:33Want to park up somewhere a bit more private?

0:18:33 > 0:18:35We could go back to my house?

0:18:35 > 0:18:37You've got a place? Great.

0:18:38 > 0:18:39I need some condoms.

0:18:40 > 0:18:43No need. I cannot be pregnant.

0:18:43 > 0:18:45I do not need birth control.

0:18:47 > 0:18:48We'll pop to a chemist. No offence.

0:18:48 > 0:18:51Better safe than sorry.

0:18:52 > 0:18:53Or...

0:18:55 > 0:18:57..we could see if my husband's got any!

0:18:59 > 0:19:02Divorced and horny, eh? Like it.

0:19:04 > 0:19:06(I'm not divorced.)

0:19:09 > 0:19:10Work away, does he?

0:19:11 > 0:19:13Nah, he'll be at home.

0:19:14 > 0:19:16Not much of a one for condoms, though.

0:19:18 > 0:19:21He's at home and you want us to go back there and...?

0:19:22 > 0:19:25OK, OK. We'll use the car.

0:19:28 > 0:19:29I don't think so.

0:19:32 > 0:19:35People do do it without condoms!

0:19:37 > 0:19:41- So Lorna was your third wife and Sarah's mother?- Yeah.

0:19:42 > 0:19:45After her, I didn't have a wife for a while.

0:19:45 > 0:19:47Mm, ironing must have mounted up.

0:19:47 > 0:19:49She drowned.

0:19:49 > 0:19:51Oh, I'm so sorry.

0:19:52 > 0:19:56She's the only person I ever really missed in my whole life.

0:19:56 > 0:19:58I had Sarah, but...

0:19:58 > 0:20:00I don't know, I didn't enjoy being on my own,

0:20:00 > 0:20:02so I married Stacey.

0:20:02 > 0:20:04She was a friend.

0:20:04 > 0:20:07It was a mistake. We're still good mates.

0:20:07 > 0:20:10And what about wife number five?

0:20:10 > 0:20:14Moira wanted me to go and live in France and build her dream home.

0:20:14 > 0:20:15My dream home was Wales.

0:20:15 > 0:20:17Clash of dreams.

0:20:19 > 0:20:21So what happens, then?

0:20:21 > 0:20:22You, uh...

0:20:22 > 0:20:26You take out a woman, there's a lull in the conversation and you ask her to marry you?

0:20:26 > 0:20:27HE LAUGHS

0:20:27 > 0:20:31Something like that. I don't know, I'm getting better.

0:20:32 > 0:20:34Look, I've laid my stall out, Julia.

0:20:34 > 0:20:37I've told you all about my mistakes and my heartache.

0:20:37 > 0:20:40I haven't asked you to marry me yet, have I?

0:20:40 > 0:20:42Ooh, wow!

0:20:42 > 0:20:45To be flattered or insulted, that is the question.

0:20:46 > 0:20:50Look, I want to take time with us, so it lasts.

0:20:50 > 0:20:53I've learned how to build things properly.

0:20:56 > 0:21:01# Sigh no more No more

0:21:03 > 0:21:08- SHE SINGS ALONG: - # One foot in sea One on shore

0:21:10 > 0:21:14# My heart was never pure

0:21:17 > 0:21:21# You know me

0:21:22 > 0:21:27# You know me... #

0:21:28 > 0:21:30OK, this is where we are.

0:21:30 > 0:21:32You did a heinous thing,

0:21:32 > 0:21:34which no amount of toadying and spring cleaning

0:21:34 > 0:21:35is going to put right.

0:21:35 > 0:21:38I know, but I don't know what else to do!

0:21:38 > 0:21:40I love her.

0:21:40 > 0:21:44Then whatever you do, you have to do what's best for Imelda.

0:21:44 > 0:21:45That's what I'm trying...

0:21:45 > 0:21:49What?! By behaving like some kind of Elizabethan cuckold?

0:21:49 > 0:21:52Enslaved to your wife whom you condone

0:21:52 > 0:21:55running around like some kind of cheap hooker?

0:21:55 > 0:21:56Look at yourself.

0:21:56 > 0:21:59Who in their right mind would want to be with you?

0:22:00 > 0:22:02When was the last time you looked like the man

0:22:02 > 0:22:05Imelda fell in love with?

0:22:05 > 0:22:07When was the last time you acted like a man

0:22:07 > 0:22:09and not some snivelling dullard?

0:22:11 > 0:22:13A long time ago.

0:22:13 > 0:22:14So.

0:22:14 > 0:22:18You need to be the best that you can be

0:22:18 > 0:22:21and see if she still wants you.

0:22:22 > 0:22:26And if she doesn't, you need to be man enough to let her go.

0:22:26 > 0:22:28Let her start over.

0:22:30 > 0:22:32- It might be painful. - I deserve that.

0:22:32 > 0:22:33Yeah, you do!

0:22:33 > 0:22:36She's the one who's suffered enough.

0:22:36 > 0:22:39She might not want you as you are

0:22:39 > 0:22:44but maybe she would like a version of you as you used to be.

0:22:45 > 0:22:47Without all the sleeping around.

0:25:59 > 0:26:03Look, Martin, I'm really sorry about how badly I behaved

0:26:03 > 0:26:05over that whole honey trap fiasco.

0:26:05 > 0:26:08- It doesn't matter about that. - It does.

0:26:08 > 0:26:11It's just that I really needed to be sure.

0:26:11 > 0:26:12You can be.
