CRUNCH, GLASS SMASHES

0:00:240:00:26

Shit.

0:00:380:00:40

Shit.

0:00:500:00:51

ENGINE SPLUTTERS

0:01:000:01:02

"Dear Vic, I didn't know Toffos came in boxes.

0:01:100:01:14

"Unless you mean a retailer's box containing many tubes.

0:01:140:01:18

"If that's what you mean, then, yes, I agree,

0:01:180:01:21

"she needs help of some kind.

0:01:210:01:22

"It has been a dramatic and difficult week here

0:01:240:01:27

"and I may have to come home."

0:01:270:01:29

Are the boys ready?

0:01:360:01:37

Um, they're just finishing their betting coupon.

0:01:370:01:40

-Ooh, shoes. Thank you.

-That's all right.

0:01:400:01:42

I do listen, sometimes.

0:01:420:01:44

I just think it's dangerous to drive in bare feet.

0:01:440:01:47

Here's the thing, though -

0:01:470:01:49

why on earth would the sole of a shoe make any difference?

0:01:490:01:52

Without shoes on, you can feel everything much better.

0:01:520:01:54

You don't have full control of the pedals.

0:01:540:01:56

I don't agree, I think I'm more likely to overdo it with shoes on.

0:01:560:02:00

Go faster than I intended to.

0:02:000:02:02

Right. Well, maybe you should drive in bare feet.

0:02:030:02:06

I want to do what you're comfortable with.

0:02:060:02:08

No, no, no, you've convinced me. Take them off.

0:02:080:02:11

Did you go out for petrol, by the way?

0:02:120:02:15

Um, no.

0:02:150:02:16

I was too busy looking for shoes.

0:02:160:02:18

I'll do it on the way.

0:02:200:02:22

Come on, boys!

0:02:220:02:24

-God, look at that.

-What?

-The car. Someone's pranged it.

0:02:290:02:32

Trevor Brooking!

0:02:320:02:34

-It must have been Malcolm.

-Why?

0:02:420:02:44

That's his car behind it, he's driven into the back of ours

0:02:440:02:47

-and not said anything.

-Bastard!

-I'm sure it wasn't him.

-I'm sure it was.

0:02:470:02:51

-That's exactly the sort of thing he'd do.

-Malcolm?

0:02:510:02:54

-Yes!

-Well, it would've been an accident, so...

0:02:540:02:57

-let's not say anything to him.

-Are you mad?

0:02:570:02:59

-We can take him to court.

-You don't take your friends to court. Come on.

0:02:590:03:02

-You have to if they're criminals.

-Sue him! Sue him!

0:03:020:03:06

-Sue him!

-Where are you going?

0:03:060:03:07

To tell George. She'll want to call our solicitor.

0:03:070:03:10

Of course she won't, she'll just sort it out with Malcolm.

0:03:100:03:13

He'll deny it.

0:03:130:03:14

When did Malcolm become this awful person who tries to deny prangs?

0:03:140:03:18

-He's already denied it.

-When?

0:03:180:03:20

He did a prang and he just cleared off without saying anything.

0:03:200:03:24

-Well, someone cleared off, we don't know it was him.

-It was him. Mum!

0:03:240:03:29

Wait for me!

0:03:290:03:30

THUNDER RUMBLES

0:03:300:03:32

KNOCKING ON THE DOOR

0:03:340:03:36

Ah, hello, everyone.

0:03:390:03:41

Nina. Gosh, that was a right old biff this morning.

0:03:410:03:45

Someone punched you.

0:03:450:03:47

Not really.

0:03:470:03:49

Was it Nanny?

0:03:490:03:50

-No.

-It sounded terrible.

0:03:500:03:53

-Much damage done?

-Ah.

0:03:530:03:56

-What?

-Nina pranged the car.

0:03:560:03:58

-That's not true, Malcolm did it.

-Me?

0:03:580:04:01

She reversed right into that lamppost,

0:04:010:04:03

-I saw her through the upstairs window.

-Should we go home?

0:04:030:04:06

-Unless you want to pursue this, Nina.

-Well...

0:04:060:04:10

-I don't think so.

-I'm lost.

-Ah.

0:04:100:04:13

Well, we came here to accuse you.

0:04:130:04:16

-We were going to sue you.

-Because Nina didn't own up.

0:04:160:04:19

-I would have in the end.

-Sorry to disturb you, Malcolm.

0:04:190:04:22

Bare feet, you see. Always telling you. There's no control.

0:04:220:04:25

-I was wearing shoes.

-Oh, give it a rest.

0:04:250:04:28

You ran in, put your shoes on after you'd pranged.

0:04:280:04:31

Then you took them off again because you argued about it. Bloody hell!

0:04:310:04:34

Well, I do still believe that bare feet are safer in theory.

0:04:340:04:38

-This isn't even the first prang.

-I owned up straightaway about the other one.

0:04:380:04:43

-I didn't think you'd forgive a second.

-Now, hold on.

0:04:430:04:46

You all thought that it was me who'd done it without saying anything?

0:04:460:04:50

Now, I can understand Nina's position,

0:04:510:04:53

straightforward lying for advantage.

0:04:530:04:55

But you three.

0:04:550:04:57

Oh. Very disappointed.

0:04:570:05:00

-Stupid Stibbe!

-Thanks a lot.

0:05:090:05:12

RAIN PATTERS, THUNDER RUMBLES

0:05:190:05:21

I made this for you.

0:05:250:05:27

I made a whole series of bad decisions.

0:05:280:05:31

-Is this you saying sorry?

-I did say sorry before.

0:05:330:05:36

-Oh, so there's a quota?

-No.

0:05:360:05:38

-Sorry.

-Don't overdo it.

0:05:380:05:41

I was saying sorry for not saying sorry enough.

0:05:410:05:43

-You won't be 20 and cute forever, you know.

-I know.

0:05:470:05:51

Sorry.

0:05:520:05:53

I don't know what to do with you.

0:05:550:05:57

'You know how you only started to care about Keith

0:06:120:06:15

'when he went off with Kim from the Conservative club?

0:06:150:06:18

'Well, something similar has happened to me in this job.

0:06:180:06:21

'I thought it was something that would do for the time being.

0:06:220:06:26

'But now George thinks I'm a lying idiot,

0:06:260:06:28

'it's all I want out of life.'

0:06:280:06:30

DOORBELL

0:06:490:06:50

-That'll be Maria-Fernanda.

-Who's Maria-Fernanda?

-Susannah's cleaner.

0:06:520:06:57

She's got some spare hours.

0:06:570:06:59

You hate cleaning, and you're absolutely useless at it.

0:06:590:07:02

I'm employing her.

0:07:020:07:03

-Maria-Fernanda?

-Senora George.

0:07:070:07:09

Uh... Uh, excuse me. Uh, uh...

0:07:160:07:20

-Book!

-Que?

-My book!

0:07:200:07:22

Uh...

0:07:240:07:26

SHE SWITCHES HOOVER OFF

0:07:260:07:27

It's a book. Like this. It was around somewhere,

0:07:270:07:31

now gone.

0:07:310:07:33

Um... Seamus Heaney, except Shay is spelt S-E-A,

0:07:330:07:38

so you might have thought it said "Seemus".

0:07:380:07:41

Not that that would have made any difference to where you put it.

0:07:410:07:44

I know who is Seamus Heaney.

0:07:440:07:47

"The slobber of frogspawn." Internal rhyme.

0:07:470:07:51

I know also what is "book".

0:07:510:07:52

Well, if you could keep an extra special eye on where you put things,

0:07:520:07:55

that would be... SHE STARTS HOOVER

0:07:550:07:57

..really...

0:07:570:07:58

It's "Shaymus".

0:08:000:08:01

-Three nights in a row.

-Yeah, I know.

0:08:090:08:12

Must be very cross with us, bloody Stibbe.

0:08:120:08:15

-It's not my fault.

-It's completely your fault.

0:08:150:08:18

No, he made it very clear,

0:08:180:08:20

he was disappointed in the three of you, not me.

0:08:200:08:23

Oh, so you don't think that the phrase "straightforward

0:08:230:08:26

"lying for advantage" contains even a hint of disapproval?

0:08:260:08:29

He found it understandable.

0:08:290:08:31

You three, though, you marched across the road to accuse an innocent man.

0:08:310:08:35

It was Max's fault. I just went along with it.

0:08:350:08:38

Well, how are we going to make it up to him?

0:08:380:08:41

He doesn't need to come for his tea every night, does he? I mean,

0:08:420:08:45

we've already made it up to him by cooking him 1,000 dinners.

0:08:450:08:49

Before it even happened.

0:08:490:08:51

We're his family.

0:08:520:08:53

Your behaviour has made him an orphan.

0:08:530:08:55

That's terrible! We've destroyed his life!

0:08:550:08:58

Well, Nina has, anyway.

0:08:580:09:00

And how have you fallen out with the cleaner already?

0:09:020:09:04

-Have I?

-She told me you treat her like a peasant.

0:09:060:09:08

There was a misunderstanding about the amount of English she speaks.

0:09:080:09:12

She didn't want to work here, you know.

0:09:120:09:14

I really had to persuade her. So be careful.

0:09:140:09:17

She lost my Seamus Heaney, though.

0:09:170:09:19

So? Buy another one.

0:09:190:09:21

It's got all my notes in it and the exam is in three days.

0:09:210:09:24

Well, what I say to the boys in situations like these is,

0:09:240:09:28

"It's in the house somewhere".

0:09:280:09:30

Yes, I never understand what you mean.

0:09:300:09:32

So, Nina, you have three jobs. You have to find your book,

0:09:320:09:35

you have to make things right with Malcolm,

0:09:350:09:37

and if you don't make things right with Maria-Fernanda...

0:09:370:09:40

Ooo!

0:09:420:09:43

I've got to pass an A level, too.

0:09:430:09:45

That is extracurricular.

0:09:450:09:47

Paradoxically.

0:09:470:09:49

That's quite a list. It's like the Four Tasks of Psyche.

0:09:560:10:00

Is it really, or are you just showing off?

0:10:000:10:02

No, it's relevant.

0:10:020:10:03

You can always learn something from the old myths.

0:10:030:10:06

Name one thing you've learned from a myth.

0:10:060:10:08

Er...most of them say, you know, never give up.

0:10:080:10:11

You can learn that from watching It's A Knockout.

0:10:110:10:14

Anyway, Psyche. What were his tasks?

0:10:140:10:18

Psyche was a she.

0:10:180:10:19

Well, that's a good start. I always thought it was a he.

0:10:190:10:22

"The male psyche." That's what people say, isn't it?

0:10:220:10:25

Yeah, there's the female psyche, too, though.

0:10:250:10:28

Let's stick with her, then.

0:10:280:10:29

I think her first task was sorting

0:10:290:10:31

a load of seeds into different piles.

0:10:310:10:34

It was supposed to be impossible, but an ant helped her.

0:10:340:10:37

-One ant?

-Yeah. If you're going to pick apart the Greek myths,

0:10:370:10:40

I wouldn't begin with ant numbers.

0:10:400:10:42

Insects aren't going to get me out of these, though, are they?

0:10:420:10:45

So, um...what else was there?

0:10:450:10:46

She had to get some golden wool off some rams

0:10:460:10:49

and some, you know, beauty cream stuff from somewhere.

0:10:490:10:52

-Presumably not Boots.

-The Underworld.

0:10:520:10:54

Same thing, if she went to Boots on Saturday.

0:10:540:10:56

And she had to get some water from somewhere, I remember that.

0:10:560:10:59

-Water?

-Well, it wasn't tap water, it was special water.

0:10:590:11:02

Drawn from a place that's impossible to get to.

0:11:020:11:04

What were the point of all these tasks? Where did they get her?

0:11:040:11:08

I think it was all about sex.

0:11:080:11:09

You say that about every piece of literature.

0:11:090:11:11

Because every piece of literature is about sex!

0:11:110:11:13

-Apart from Lord of the Flies.

-Hm.

0:11:130:11:16

So, none of these tasks got her anywhere?

0:11:160:11:19

What do you want me to say?

0:11:190:11:21

I want you to say that after Psyche had befriended the ants

0:11:210:11:24

and bought the moisturiser,

0:11:240:11:26

her boss decided not to fire her

0:11:260:11:28

and she didn't have to go back to Leicester.

0:11:280:11:30

And she passed her A level, went to college.

0:11:300:11:35

And then...I don't know,

0:11:350:11:37

sorted out her love life, knew where she stood, sort of thing.

0:11:370:11:42

She was banished to Leicester, I'm afraid.

0:11:420:11:45

Just outside, actually. Mansfield.

0:11:450:11:48

What happened to never give up?

0:11:480:11:51

Now I come to think of it, I think that was the myth of somebody else.

0:11:510:11:55

Ow!

0:11:550:11:56

I always land on Income Tax! I'm not going to pay.

0:12:030:12:06

You can't do that! George, tell him!

0:12:060:12:08

-Cock off, Max!

-You cock off!

0:12:080:12:10

WASP!

0:12:100:12:11

That was so deliberate! He did it on purpose!

0:12:110:12:14

-All right, everybody, calm down.

-You know I hate wasps, Max!

0:12:140:12:17

Yeah, nobody likes them.

0:12:170:12:19

I hate them more than anybody!

0:12:190:12:20

-There!

-I'll get it, I'll get it!

0:12:200:12:22

JOE AND MAX CHANT: Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!

0:12:220:12:25

-Kill the wasp!

-Kill him!

-Kill the wasp!

-Kill him!

0:12:250:12:28

BOTH: Kill the wasp! Kill the wasp!

0:12:280:12:30

-Yes!

-Good shot.

0:12:300:12:31

If you want to carry on playing,

0:12:310:12:33

you're going to have to pick this all up.

0:12:330:12:35

I don't want to carry on playing!

0:12:350:12:37

ARGUMENT FADES OUT

0:12:370:12:39

Found me book.

0:12:420:12:44

..I'm on a very shallow maternal learning curve.

0:12:440:12:46

NINA SIGHS An insect.

0:12:460:12:49

Right, Psyche, what else have you got for me?

0:12:490:12:52

What do we have that's golden?

0:12:520:12:54

-Golden syrup.

-No, I mean, golden...

0:12:540:12:57

Actually, that's rather brilliant.

0:12:580:13:00

Peace offering.

0:13:000:13:02

-Thank you.

-Treacle tart, your favourite.

0:13:030:13:06

Made with golden syrup, which was

0:13:060:13:08

as close as I could get to the Golden Fleece.

0:13:080:13:10

Why did you need to get close to the Golden Fleece?

0:13:100:13:12

I'd have thought the further away the better,

0:13:120:13:14

when it comes to puddings.

0:13:140:13:16

The Four Tasks of Nina, like the Four Tasks of Psyche.

0:13:160:13:19

I've found my book, you're second on the list.

0:13:190:13:22

I don't want to be a task, thank you very much.

0:13:220:13:24

And, anyway, why wasn't I first?

0:13:240:13:26

I found my book by accident, via a wasp.

0:13:260:13:29

You are my first deliberate attempt at task-solving.

0:13:290:13:31

Hm.

0:13:310:13:33

I'm sorry I let the others accuse you.

0:13:340:13:37

I'm sorry I went along with Max's suspicions.

0:13:370:13:40

Max?

0:13:410:13:42

I'm sorry I was misled by the evidence.

0:13:420:13:45

Well, there was no evidence.

0:13:450:13:47

Well, I'm sorry Stibbe didn't come clean quicker, then.

0:13:470:13:49

-Where's George?

-She's at work.

0:13:490:13:52

She wants you to come for supper tonight.

0:13:520:13:54

I've already bought myself a piece of cod.

0:13:540:13:57

And now I've got a pudding.

0:13:570:13:58

Er...the tart will be served at Number 55.

0:13:580:14:02

I'm glad that's over with.

0:14:050:14:07

Oh! Oh! It's just very good, Nina.

0:14:200:14:23

Hm!

0:14:230:14:24

I have to say, Greek myths are marvellous.

0:14:240:14:27

They're clever, but they're fun and practical, too.

0:14:270:14:31

Mm. That's how the Greeks should advertise them on television.

0:14:310:14:34

MALCOLM CHUCKLES

0:14:340:14:36

So, what's next?

0:14:360:14:37

-Maria-Fernanda.

-Mm. And is your task to make her like you?

0:14:370:14:41

-How did you know?

-Well, you've got a job on, I know that much.

0:14:410:14:45

Hm. Maria-Fernanda's hatred for Nina is well-known?

0:14:450:14:48

Well, only in the street. So, what on earth have you done?

0:14:480:14:51

I've done nothing!

0:14:510:14:52

I thought she couldn't understand the word "book", that's all.

0:14:520:14:55

And I know she can't pronounce Seamus.

0:14:550:14:58

Oh, well, she deserves everything she gets.

0:14:580:15:00

She thinks you should be doing more.

0:15:000:15:02

-And sometimes she says...

-SPANISH ACCENT:

-"What is girl for?"

-BUZZING STARTS

-What is girl for, actually?

0:15:060:15:08

It's not like I don't work!

0:15:080:15:10

STIFLED LAUGHTER AND SNORTING

0:15:120:15:14

Wow! Right, make your own lasagne, then.

0:15:140:15:16

Oh, dear. I'm worried about Maria-Fernanda.

0:15:160:15:18

We really don't want to lose her.

0:15:180:15:20

I shall go on a charm offensive.

0:15:200:15:22

You're always saying that, "I shall go on a charm offensive",

0:15:220:15:25

but nothing happens.

0:15:250:15:26

When else have I said it? BUZZING STOPS

0:15:260:15:28

When Mum was fed up with you the other week

0:15:280:15:30

after you turned all the washing green.

0:15:300:15:32

Do you remember when Stibbe pranged the car

0:15:320:15:34

and she tried to blame it on Malcolm?

0:15:340:15:36

-Yes.

-Boys, I've told you before,

0:15:360:15:37

-you can't reminisce about something that's only just happened.

-Why not?

0:15:370:15:40

Because when you ask the question, "Do you remember...?"

0:15:400:15:43

there has to be a chance that the other person has forgotten.

0:15:430:15:45

-We never forget anything.

-It's true, they never do.

0:15:450:15:48

-Neither do you.

-Me? I can't remember what I've just eaten.

0:15:480:15:52

So, we can never say, "Do you remember..." to each other?

0:15:520:15:55

Wait 30 years.

0:15:550:15:56

You can talk about the prang in 2013, on your videophones.

0:15:560:15:59

I'm sorry if none of you have ever noticed my charm offensives before,

0:15:590:16:03

but I can assure you, Maria-Fernanda will notice this one.

0:16:030:16:07

GEORGE TURNS VOLUME DOWN

0:16:120:16:14

What are you doing?

0:16:140:16:16

I want everything to look nice for her.

0:16:160:16:18

-For who?

-Maria-Fernanda.

0:16:200:16:22

She thinks I do nothing. Well, this isn't nothing.

0:16:220:16:26

No, she'll think this is an act of war. What's she going to do?

0:16:260:16:31

Washing, ironing...deep-cleaning.

0:16:310:16:34

What's deep-cleaning when it's at home?

0:16:340:16:37

I don't know.

0:16:370:16:39

Oh, hell!

0:16:390:16:41

All right, I can see two scenarios here.

0:16:410:16:44

One where Maria-Fernanda walks in,

0:16:440:16:46

sees what you've done and hates you.

0:16:460:16:48

Another when she walks in,

0:16:480:16:49

sees you in the middle of messing the place up again, and hates you.

0:16:490:16:53

I've bought her some cold cream.

0:16:530:16:54

What? Oh!

0:16:540:16:56

Beauty ointment? Like Psyche.

0:16:560:16:59

-What do you think?

-Well, if a woman I didn't know

0:16:590:17:01

took one look at me and bought me some cold cream,

0:17:010:17:04

I don't know if I'd be overflowing with gratitude.

0:17:040:17:06

-So, what should I do?

-I don't know.

0:17:060:17:08

Don't try and be clever. Just go out.

0:17:080:17:11

Any shopkeepers locally you haven't pissed off?

0:17:110:17:13

If so, go talk to them.

0:17:130:17:15

MUSIC: Goody Two Shoes by Adam Ant

0:18:130:18:16

Hello, Maria-Fernanda.

0:18:180:18:21

Um...believe it or not, I was actually helping us both out here.

0:18:210:18:26

-Is good.

-Yes?

0:18:260:18:28

Si. More work. More work is good.

0:18:280:18:32

Si!

0:18:320:18:34

NINA LAUGHS NERVOUSLY

0:18:400:18:42

Right.

0:18:440:18:45

Huh-huh!

0:18:510:18:53

Gosh! Would you like a glass of water, Maria-Fernanda?

0:18:530:18:56

That's probably enough work for now, isn't it?

0:19:030:19:05

Um... Oooh!

0:19:100:19:12

Have you ever tried this, Maria-Fernanda?

0:19:120:19:14

Um...it says, "for the older woman" on it, but just ignore that.

0:19:140:19:17

Now...it's enough work.

0:19:230:19:25

-I think so, yes.

-For you!

0:19:250:19:27

Please do tell Senora George that I have ressig-ned!

0:19:280:19:32

Ressig-ned?

0:19:340:19:35

Resigned! No-no-no-no-no! You can't resign!

0:19:350:19:38

If you resign, she will be so angry with me, so please!

0:19:380:19:42

CRASH!

0:19:440:19:46

So this poem, Act of Union...

0:19:540:19:55

I know, I know. Sex. Sex, sex, sex.

0:19:550:20:00

No, this one's not really about sex.

0:20:000:20:02

Jesus Christ! Are you joking?

0:20:020:20:04

Act of Union.

0:20:040:20:06

He's talking about sex as if the man and the woman

0:20:060:20:09

were, you know, countries at war.

0:20:090:20:12

And the man is imperial and so on

0:20:120:20:14

and, you know, his penis is an invading army.

0:20:140:20:17

It's the other way around.

0:20:180:20:19

The other way around?

0:20:190:20:21

How does that work? Some sort of, um...dildo?

0:20:210:20:24

-No!

-No?

0:20:240:20:26

-NUNNEY LAUGHS

-No.

0:20:260:20:27

He's talking about the relationship between Britain and Ireland

0:20:270:20:31

as if Britain is the man taking the woman.

0:20:310:20:33

I think you should stick to the turkeys and the frogspawn.

0:20:330:20:36

I hate nature.

0:20:360:20:39

-What do you actually like?

-What do you mean?

0:20:390:20:41

You don't like being a nanny, so you want to go to college.

0:20:410:20:44

Er, I love being a nanny. You made me take an A level.

0:20:440:20:47

I made you?

0:20:470:20:49

-Are you serious?

-Yes.

0:20:500:20:52

You more or less said that if I didn't get myself to college,

0:20:520:20:54

I'd be of no further interest to you.

0:20:540:20:56

-What?!

-Yeah.

-When?

0:20:560:20:58

Well, you say it all the time with your body language and your eyes.

0:20:580:21:03

-I say you should go to college with my eyes?

-Yes.

0:21:030:21:06

What am I saying with my eyes now?

0:21:060:21:08

That I should get myself to college, or I'll be of no further interest to you.

0:21:080:21:11

Can I ask you what you want to do at college?

0:21:160:21:18

You haven't denied it, I note.

0:21:180:21:20

I deny it. I've never said it with my voice,

0:21:200:21:23

my eyes, my ears, or any other part of me.

0:21:230:21:26

English literature.

0:21:260:21:28

Except you don't like anything.

0:21:280:21:31

You don't like Heaney, or Hardy, or Joyce.

0:21:310:21:34

You weren't very keen on the Jacobeans.

0:21:340:21:36

You don't like nannying and you don't like studying.

0:21:360:21:38

You don't like me very much, half the time.

0:21:380:21:41

Look, I need to get this A level.

0:21:410:21:43

I'm worried George is going to sack me, and I can't do this forever.

0:21:430:21:47

You haven't denied the bit about liking me, I note.

0:21:480:21:51

I'm just not very good at it.

0:21:530:21:55

Any of it.

0:21:550:21:57

You don't have to be good at it.

0:21:570:21:59

You just have to want to do it.

0:22:000:22:02

Whether it's work or, you know...

0:22:030:22:06

..relationships.

0:22:080:22:09

How do I know what I want to do?

0:22:120:22:14

Thanks a lot(!)

0:22:180:22:19

No, I didn't...

0:22:200:22:22

(Fuck!)

0:22:240:22:25

That should do it.

0:22:420:22:44

Have you got the quiz books?

0:22:440:22:46

Which one do you want - football or cricket?

0:22:460:22:48

Is there an "Oi, Ref!" we haven't done in the football book?

0:22:480:22:52

I'll have a look in a sec.

0:22:520:22:54

Right, all set.

0:22:540:22:56

-Ready?

-Yeah.

0:22:560:22:57

MACHINE WHIRS LOUDLY

0:22:590:23:01

Right, a-hem!

0:23:100:23:13

Oi, Ref. Where is it? OK.

0:23:130:23:15

-NINA SHOUTS: Ready?!

-Yep.

-Right.

0:23:150:23:19

A dog runs onto the pitch just as a striker is taking a shot at goal.

0:23:200:23:24

The ball hits the dog, leaves the goalie wrong-footed

0:23:240:23:28

and bounces into the other corner.

0:23:280:23:30

-Am I the ref?

-It's called, "Oi, Ref!"

0:23:300:23:33

It's probably the same answer as the one about the pigeon.

0:23:330:23:36

I don't remember a question about a pigeon.

0:23:360:23:38

It was in my magazine.

0:23:380:23:39

The ball hit a flying pigeon and it dipped underneath the bar.

0:23:390:23:44

Imagine if it was a Ray Stewart penalty.

0:23:440:23:47

I don't know what that means!

0:23:470:23:48

-He has a hard shot.

-Ah!

0:23:480:23:52

-So, he would vaporise the pigeon, is that right?

-Yes!

0:23:520:23:56

And the dog? NINA GIGGLES

0:23:560:23:58

Right, what's the answer to this one?

0:23:580:24:00

I'd give a goal, but I'm afraid that the goalie and all the defenders

0:24:000:24:04

would get very cross with me.

0:24:040:24:06

-It makes me nervous.

-NINA CHUCKLES

0:24:060:24:08

-Right. Do you want another one?

-Yeah.

-Right.

0:24:080:24:11

Everything all right?

0:24:110:24:13

Er...number two. A player...

0:24:180:24:20

Maria-Fernanda hasn't turned up yet.

0:24:200:24:22

Sorry?

0:24:250:24:26

Anything to do with you?

0:24:260:24:29

Sorry?

0:24:290:24:31

A player is on his knees from a tackle which was not a foul.

0:24:400:24:46

And then she said to tell you that she wasn't coming back,

0:24:460:24:49

which I chose not to do because I knew I'd get into even more trouble.

0:24:490:24:53

On top of all the other troubles.

0:24:530:24:55

I've thought long and hard about this, George,

0:24:560:24:58

and I've decided to offer you my resignation.

0:24:580:25:01

Here's a counterproposal. I resign, you stay.

0:25:050:25:08

The garage called to say it's going to cost me £80 to repair the car,

0:25:090:25:12

I have no cleaner and my nanny is an idiot.

0:25:120:25:15

I think my position here is untenable. Good luck.

0:25:150:25:18

I'm sorry, I'm crap.

0:25:200:25:21

Yep. Be less crap.

0:25:210:25:24

Is that all you're going to say?

0:25:260:25:28

What do you want me to do?

0:25:280:25:29

There are some things you're very crap at indeed.

0:25:290:25:32

And I'm not sure if I can even categorise them.

0:25:320:25:34

Your crapness is random, always surprising,

0:25:340:25:37

but there's one thing I'm sure about

0:25:370:25:39

and that is that I'm not going to find anyone else

0:25:390:25:42

who's going to be able to extract the snot from Joe

0:25:420:25:44

while making him laugh and asking him West Ham questions.

0:25:440:25:47

-That's the easy bit.

-Well, actually, it isn't.

0:25:470:25:50

You're like a...film star, or a star footballer.

0:25:510:25:55

-Really?

-Yeah.

0:25:550:25:56

Chaotic, unreliable, self-serving and a liar.

0:25:560:26:01

But blessed...with an irreplaceable talent,

0:26:010:26:05

namely, my children love you.

0:26:050:26:07

No, I'm afraid there's no way out.

0:26:090:26:12

Not until you find your calling.

0:26:120:26:14

I'll do ALL the cleaning.

0:26:140:26:16

Cleaning is not your calling.

0:26:160:26:18

It's not even an area of competence.

0:26:180:26:20

No, Ursula VW's cleaner, Carmelita,

0:26:200:26:22

has offered kindly to step into the breach.

0:26:220:26:25

BUT I'd really appreciate it if you didn't start abusing her

0:26:250:26:29

or patronising her the moment she walks through the door.

0:26:290:26:32

Is it the exam tomorrow?

0:26:340:26:35

Right. Well, good luck. Go to bed.

0:26:370:26:39

And be less crap.

0:26:390:26:42
