It was boredom at first sight.

You could hardly call it right.

There's no one to miss the right.

So what do I see in it?

But then I'm not so ideal.

I'm not gentle or genteel. So the
question should be what does it...

Promise me that all you say is true.

That's all I ask of you.

Hey!

Sorry.

Mark? Yeah?

I thought it was you.

Brian, do us a favour.

Now, you'll have to learn to dry
yourself sometime.

Get us some more shampoo, will you? It's
in the kitchen.

OK. Don't go away.

That's all I ask of you.

Let me be your shelter.

Oh, let me be your light.

That's very good of you, Marge.

Shampoo. Cupboard.

Morning.

Good morning.

Not that.

Shampoo. It's the carpet.

Where did you get those slippers?

The wardrobe.

Wishing you were somehow here again.

Wishing you were somehow here.

All right, all right, I'm here.

Prude. Did you get the shampoo?

Yeah, it's out here.

I've got this.

One of the chaps at Rotary was saying
you'll sponsor me for Royal Liverpool.

Coffee's cold.

Need to get the handicap down a bit
first, though.

Came back in 45 yesterday.

Which wasn't bad, considering the
weather.

And I'll be late again Wednesday.

Interclub due out at Birkdale.

Is my squash gear clean?

If Jim McGovern rings and asks about a
ladder game... Could you tell him I

haven't got a window before next
Tuesday?

Have we got any fresh coffee?

Brenda!

Go away, I'm not decent.

Don't mess, I've got to go to work.

Brenda. What?

Let me in.

Malcolm, control yourself.

I'm cold.

Malcolm, breakfast!

Yeah, all right. I'll be down in a
minute, yeah.

Ah, Brenda!

Brenda.

What's going on?

Malcolm, are you in there?

are you doing in here?

Uh, Brenda asked me to get her
something.

What?

What? What did she ask you to get?

Uh, a pillow.

A pillow?

Yeah. What do you want a pillow for?

She didn't say.

Well, she can't have one. Not in the
bathroom.

Right.

So?

I'll tell her.

You can't have a pillow in there. It'd
be ruined if it got wet.

They're a feather, you know.

if I was you, their feather, you know.

Hold it like that and you're liable to
tickle yourself to death.

Pam?

Pam, there's no towel in here.

Pam, darling, you haven't put a towel in
a... Thank you.

Right, right, right, I'll tell him.

Yeah.

When are you coming late? Did you tell
yourself off?

That was Christopher.

He'll be along about 11 and he says he
should start without him.

Another comedian.

Well, I'll be carrying on without him as
well.

Are you going to sack him? Surely not.

He's useless.

And other things.

We all have to learn.

Anyway, I have beds to make.

Didn't even try.

I'm dead.

Oh, great. And you enjoyed it, did you?

Oh, come on, Mark. He's OK, really.

I didn't get a concert ticket.

But you don't know him. You think making
a pass at you is something new?

He's got a whole harem, that fella.

Oh, do you know?

Well, cos he never talked about anything
else.

There's Debbie, who works at Boots, and
Samantha, the trainee hairdresser. And,

once he's been out with them, they grade
you on a scale from one to ten.

About one and a half, I should think.

Morning, Pat.

Morning, David.

Very nice.

Don't you start.

I've had enough of fragile females for
one day.

Pam. And Sarah.

I think she's sickening to something.

Pam had to get up to her at least four
times during the night, that I can

remember. Don't you take a turn.

Right, what have we got today?

We've just got report to finish this
morning.

Oh, yeah. 12 .30, lunch at the Adelphi
with a chap from Fairplay Golf

Yes. At three o 'clock, Miss Palmer from
Laundry by Louise will be here to

discuss presentation.

Oh, yeah.

You have a squash game at 4 .30, and
after that you're meeting the MD of

McEwan's Malt at the Rackets Club.

I've booked your table at the Armadillo,
7 .30 for eight.

Great. Thanks, Pat.

Don't know when I'll get home this
evening.

Do me a favour.

Ring Pam and warn her, will you?

Right.

Oh, and Pat.

While you're on, ask her gently, mind,
if she'll do me a big favour.

Everything got soaked yesterday and I've
got a four ball on Wednesday.

If she could just pack the shoes with a
sock... Well, she knows the drill.

Hi, right.

Hi.

Well, don't take your coat off.

I've decided the business doesn't need
any more help from now on.

Especially your type of help, which is
no help at all.

In fact, the only help you ever give is
to help yourself to other people's

relationships. Oh, put them out. Don't
melt me.

You might think you're God's gift to
women, but you're not to me. Don't care

you can get tickets when others can't.

If you didn't go out clubbing it every
night, well, then you might have been

able to do a decent day's work the next
day, after the night before, when you'd

been out gallivanting till the early
morning of the following day.

Sorry, you're right. What?

You're right.

I'm just not suited for this kind of
work.

Yeah, well, that's definitely true.

So it's best all round if you look for
something else.

Here's two weeks' money. Just don't
expect me to write you a reference,

all.

Fair enough.

I understand.

Though, actually, I don't need one.

You see, that's what I came to tell you.
I've got a new job.

Well, thanks for the money.

I think of it as sort of holiday pay.

Actually, Lawrence, I just wondered if
your Rotary Club had ever had to

a stewards' inquiry.

A donkey derby.

Just a minute, Pat.

The thing is, until it's all cleared up,
we can't order the new minibus for the

DDA.

Distressed Dentists Association.

Yes, Pat?

Someone to see you.

Who is it?

Your wife.

Ask her to hold on there, will you, Pat?

Sorry, Lawrence. A touch of the
matrimonials.

Yeah, I'll get back to you soon.

Great.

Ask Pam to come through, would you, Pat?

She's gone, but she left something for
you.

Really? What is it?

Isn't Daddy pleased to see you?

Darling, you don't fancy lunch at the
Adelphi, do you?

No.

Oh, do I?

It says here that there's only 3 ,000
great bustards left in Europe.

Don't you feel ashamed?

Why should I feel ashamed?

Well, we all should, cos we've all been
going round polluting and ruining the

place. Only you're worse than me, cos
you've been doing it longer.

Oh, how do you know?

that I voted for those green people last
time. Oh, what, the Martians?

The Green Party.

My, they don't agree with all their
ideas, so I only put a small cross.

Mark, come to the cabinet.

What? You missed a bit.

You could help to the lounging there.

I'm helping. You can see the dust better
from this level.

Yeah. She's been in?

Yeah.

Did you set him?

No.

You said you were going to.

Yes. But you didn't. No.

Do you want to talk about it?

No.

Yes, certainly. I'll just get her.

For you.

A gentleman.

Hello?

Christopher. Why does everybody want to
know about him? Oh, never mind, then.

Right.

Did you sack him? Mother.

Just wondered.

I was going to sack him, but he beat me
to it. Oh, he sacked you?

He resigned.

He's got another job. Now, can we just
drop the subject, please?

Certainly.

in a funny mood.

I'm not. Did she upset you? No. This
morning? No.

David. David. Oh, your brother -in -law.

Thought I recognised the boy.

He's from Surrey, isn't he?

Oh, Pam's walked out and dumped the baby
on him.

How irresponsible.

Yeah, well, it's two sides, eh?

He wants me to look after Sarah.

Poor man, he must be desperate.

Drop me off at the station on your way
back.

What, you want me to move in? Probably.

I'll phone my mum this afternoon and
find out what's going on. Do you know

she is?

I've got a good idea.

You didn't tell me about Chris.

No, I wasn't. He's resigned.

He's got another job.

Does it matter?

Oh, you are grumpy.

Are you keeping regular?

Mother.

You must know he's selling cleaning
materials.

Not one of those youngsters who goes
round door to door.

Topeless.

He can get it all so much cheaper in the
shops.

Only an idiot would buy from them.

I think he's saying he'll see her in a
minute with the last straw.

She just handed Sarah some meat, then
give him this and flounced out.

Who can imagine? Popham does a very good
plump.

Hey, he's a busy boy, isn't he?

I'll see you in a minute.

I'll surprise him, eh?

The moody mummy went off and left you,
did she?

What a woolly -headed mummy she is.

What a silly sausage.

What a load of balls.

Come here, you've made it. Come here.

Come here.

What? All right, thanks.

I don't know what's got into her.

Well, not much. Most of it's on your
shirt.

Do you know where she is?

No, do you?

Not yet, no.

So you'll have Sarah, then?

Well, if I do, you promise you'll come
straight back this evening?

Well, that's the problem, you see. I've
got a very important meeting.

I know. I've seen your diary.

You've got no right to look... Pardon?

I'll rearrange things.

Right. Tank which would cover it.

What?

Taxi fare.

Mails 1892.

Oh, hello.

No, I'm afraid not. She's round at her
sister's in Haleswall.

Looking after the baby. There's been a
bit of a domestic.

Now, it's not for me to say, but I'm
sure she'll be pleased to see you.

Of course, you know the house, don't
you?

That's right.

But bye.

Oh, and good luck with your new
enterprise.

Oh, well, of course, Pamela. Some people
might say that you and David were a

pair of self -centred, spoiled,
irresponsible, self -indulgent, loaded

Not that I'd say that.

I mean, some people might say that you
don't deserve to have a kid like Sarah

when you're just going to use her for
scoring points in your pathetic games.

Some people might even say that you've
got more money than sense and it's about

time you grew up.

But I wouldn't say that. I wouldn't say
anything like that. Because, you see,

it's just not in my nature to criticise.

Yeah, Pam, I know. You've told me all
that. Why don't you go off and have a

think about it? I mean, I wouldn't want
to influence you in any way.

I've got to go now. Say that you've
fallen down the stairs again. Bye.

Come on.

Ready for your kip?

You!

Right first time?

What do you want?

Can I come in? Why?

Show you what I've got.

I know what you've got in there. I'm not
cheating.

Oh, come on, friend.

You've got some good stuff in here.

All right. Five minutes.

Sorry.

Yes, please.

Eh?

I'm sorry. I thought you said have a
coffee.

You thought wrong, didn't you?

Oh, fair enough.

I'll put the kettle on anyway, in case
you change your mind later.

I had the idea last time I was round
here.

Do you remember?

Yeah, well, perhaps it was the wrong
idea, eh?

I was own -friendly.

Just like me.

Careful, you've got to wipe it right
away.

What's this like?

It's all right, just keep it off the
wood.

It's not easy, will you?

It's shaving foam. Look, do you want
anything?

Do you?

Well, it depends on what's on offer.

Where is she?

Who? The lady of the house.

Oh, Pam.

She's just knocked out. Gone to the
shop. She'll be back any minute.

Look, I didn't really come round here to
sell things.

No? No.

I wondered if you were doing anything on
Saturday.

Oh, I am. Oh, look, you've missed a bit.

What are you doing?

What, on Saturday?

out bird watching with Malcolm.

You've ruined me shirt.

I haven't ruined it. Look, there's a
stain remover here.

Here, tea, coffee and bodily fluids.
Well, perhaps not.

Here, tar paint and shoe polish.

You're a nutcase, you. Sorry, it was
just a joke.

I'm only demonstrating.

Yes, you won't believe that. But I'm
just trying to get to something.

Oh, listen, look. Remember that time
outside? Outside Malcolm's garage?

When she hit you in the side street?

Shame, I know, but you know.

Oh, and the kettle's just boiled.

Chris. What?

Look, I'm sorry about your shirt. It was
just a joke, eh?

You're mad.

And the other night, it was great.

Maybe we could do it again sometime, eh?

Maybe we could.

And more.

Come here.

See ya.

Hello, Malcolm.

Feeling better?

There's nothing the matter with me.

Of course not.

I just made some tea.

Right.

I must say it's a relief.

What is?

Having the house to ourselves again.

She'll be back soon.

If you say so, dear.

That's what you want.

As soon as Pam and David are OK again.

This one could go to the bathroom where
one wants to.

One doesn't want to.

It's a bit of a morning.

Look, I've told you, Brenda can stay as
long as she chooses.

And if you don't like it, that's too
bad. Because if she goes, I go.

She's gone.

She'll be back.

We'll see.

I know you don't like her.

I've never said that.

Oh, so you do like her?

Never said that either.

You'd at least be polite.

I mean, she did buy you those radiator
valve covers.

Yeah.

I don't think they've got them at
Windsor Castle.

Well, does it matter?

Well, she said they did.

Look, Mother, Brenda and I... You
wouldn't understand anyone.

Oh, I do, Malcolm.

I do.

Hello?

Oh, hi, Brent.

Yeah, right. Hello?

Oh, pardon me, Hashi.

Never mind.

We're better in the morning.

It's prunes for dessert.

Hiya. Hi.

How is she?

What's the error?

Oh, she's asleep.

Oh, no, don't go up. She's just gone
off.

Yeah, but I need to wash my hands.

Kitchen? No, but... Kitchen.

Right.

Furniture polish?

Oh, yeah. They'd go a bit mad.

Even did the breadboard.

What? And your golf clubs.

She will stay until Pam... That's the
easy error of her way.

Well, you know.

She just doesn't realise she's got it
made here.

Oh, I think she does appreciate the
better things in life.

Is the wine just breathing?

Good heavens.

It's a bit... You and me?

Well, I know we haven't all seen eye to
eye.

I suppose not.

You're showing how it should be done.
Could say that, yeah.

It'll be about 20 minutes.

Why don't you go through it?

Get yourself sorted.

Thank you.

I know what you like.

What? Gin and tonic, ice and lemon.

Thank you.

David. Yes?

Take them off.

What? The shoes made themselves
uncomfortable.

Was that Sarah?

No. No, I heard something. No, we left
the radio on upstairs. Look, relax. Take

your shoes off.

And the other one.

Thanks.

David. Yes?

You know how I sometimes... Call you a
pretentious pillock. Yeah.

Well, no. Well, you may have.

Well, not without good cause, of course.

Look, I'm sure I heard something. No,
relax.

20 minutes.

What? Before the meal.

Have you... Have you... Have you spoken
to Pal?

Yeah. She was at our mum's. You get?

Well, she hasn't got that many options.

No, it's not.

Unlike yourself.

Pardon? Well, you get about a bit, don't
you? I mean, clubs and all that.

Golf, squash, vibratory.

Vibratory?

Oh, that's right.

And lunch at the Adelphi. It's business.

Of course.

Right. And Pam, well, she should be more
understanding and do things for you

when you come in.

Perhaps I could arrange to have more
time here.

It's very comfortable, isn't it?

Intimate, even.

You'll take her away for a long weekend.

She likes the lake.

What? Windermere.

Right. Well, I'll pick something up as
soon as she gets back.

If she gets back, don't be long.

Right. Oh, hi, Malcolm. Good to see you.
Come in.

Thank you.

Ready?

Hold on. I thought you were going to
stay.

I would love to, but someone else needs
me more.

Right. Well, what about Sarah?

Well, if she wakes up, you can look
after her. Or a mum can if she's out of

bath. See you.

I've been fixing fellas all day.

Fellas? Oh, you mean me on the landing?

Eh, that's right, yeah.

Have you forgiven me yet?

No. I'll make it up to you. I promise.

How?

Think of something.

Have I fallen in his bath?

Does he drown me in Chanel?

Is he vibrant?

Is he out of water?
