Because of you, these things I do.

Because of you,

because of you.

Well, it's all happening in here, isn't
it?

It's like the Marist he left.

Well, at least there's no -one to tell
Lionel you're drinking with the enemy. I

don't think he'd approve.

On the contrary, Sandra, he encourages
it. I've told him I'm spying on you.

Oh, well, that's all right, then.

What's that?

I think it must be Elmo killing
something in one of his sandwiches.

Well, let's talk him a lesson.

The BBC.

He only rejected my demo tape.

Good gracious, not you singing Bee Bop
-a -Loo -la in the house that arrived

son.

What can they be thinking of, Elmo?
Taste his loons.

It was my last chance, that was,
becoming a pop singer.

Breweries start boarding me windows up
tomorrow.

Anyway, have whatever you like. It's on
me.

Be the last drink you ever have in
Elmo's. Well, I think lagers, eh?

Not right to break with tradition at a
time like this.

Well, at least you've got a sense of
tradition.

Hundreds of people are expected in here
today. Have a farewell drink, shake me

hand, nobody turned up.

Elmo, they're not going to board the pub
up with you still in it, are they? Like

a pharaoh in his tomb.

No, I've got to stay on for a few days
while they check the stock out.

But that's the other jobs in the trade.

No, I'm on a blacklist.

You wouldn't like my dog, would you?

No.

Could you do me a favour, then?

Yeah, sure.

Would you... Would you shoot it for me?

No!

What do you want to get rid of it for,
anyway?

Well, with the life ahead of me, I can't
ask a dog to share that.

Come on, Elmo, it's not the end of the
world.

Something will turn up. The next thing
to turn up in my life will probably be

toes.

Excuse me, I'm just going to burn the
dartboard.

Enjoy your drinks. Have a good time.

Well, I'm glad we came in.

Oh, let's talk about something else.

Has Lionel got a new secretary yet?

Eight. How many? No, he's had eight
secretaries since you.

They've all either left in tears, high
dodging or threatening legal action.

See? I told you I'm irreplaceable. No, I
think it was me leaving that broke his

heart. No, no, he still laughs about
that every day.

Oh, what's he doing now?

He's probably flung himself on top of
his burning dartboard.

Sutty, it's called in India.

Secretary of sausage, none of them.

Look, David, can I get back to you on
this one? I haven't got a secretary at

moment.

Yeah, well, I know it's not your fault.

Well, you'll have to wait, won't you,
like all the others.

All right, well, if that's your
attitude, go somewhere else.

Who are you starting at, Mummy?

Hello, Angel.

No, customer.

Isn't that biting the hand that feeds
us, Daddy? It's that agency's fault.

Secretaries, they claim they've been
clinging to me.

More like brain operations gone wrong.

Well, that's a thing of the past.

I'm going to be your secretary.

You, Angel?

Well, you don't work.

No, not at all.

But this is an emergency, and
particularly with Jacko in competition,

got to pull together.

You've always had the capacity to punch
me in the emotional guts, Leslie.

I wouldn't put it quite like that. Oh,
you know what I mean, Angel.

Right, let's get to work.

would you like me to do first?

Well, a lot of letters to be typed,
darling. Perhaps you could make a start

those. Right you are.

If I had a son, he could never have been
a daughter like you.

This is wonderful.

We'll show old Dumbo across the road how
business should be run.

Of course we will.

Now, where's the D?

First client.

Can I get you anything, Mrs Beanbridge?
No, thanks. I'll only be a minute.

Right, you are.

I'll be off then. Don't leave on my
account.

I'm not.

I've got an appointment with a client.

Good luck.

Well, Sarge, we've got the client, so I
thought she should be the one to follow

it through.

You never did underestimate women.

No, very dangerous practice, that,
Veronica.

So you won't underestimate me then, will
you?

Why? What are you going to do?

Enter the ring, in a manner of speaking.

Oh, taking up boxing.

Helping Lionel.

The woman behind the man, eh? Behind
isn't quite what I got in mind.

What have you got in mind, then?

Put it this way.

I'm a fan of yours, but I'm also a
Bainbridge.

I ought to tell you, Jacko, I'm lining
up with Lionel.

So just don't think of it as a walkover.

With you joining in, Veronica, I
wouldn't do any such thing.

Good luck, then.

Yeah, good luck.

Oh, incidentally, is this the missing
piece of your jigsaw?

Yeah, yeah, I think so. You don't sound
very certain.

Well, how can I be certain when you look
at me with those eyes of yours?

Well, that's not going to work either.

What did you call me?

Daddy didn't mean it, Angel.

He's front.

I'm going as fast as I can. Yeah, but
two hours for one letter, Leslie. It is

the slow side, isn't it? Not if you want
it done properly, no.

I'm all behind. There's a whole pile of
work.

Well, now that I've got the knack of it,
I'll do them first thing tomorrow.

What's wrong with this afternoon?

I shan't be here.

I'm having my legs waxed.

You won't find me taking time off to
have my legs waxed.

Well, of course not. You're a big, hairy
man, aren't you? I'm not just a big,

hairy man. I'm a big, hairy father.

And I am telling you... Hello?

Mummy, he's shouting at me. She's
started it, Veronica.

Oh, come in here. I want to talk to you
both.

It was her that started it. I did not be
quiet. Come in, close the door, sit

down.

I haven't got a chair.

Well, break your back and bring one
over.

Look, Veronica, if this is about the
ring round the bath, Leslie's the one

never wipes round.

That's a lie.

Will you be quiet and listen?

We need a council of war.

Because if Jocko keeps going the way he
started, he's going to leave us behind.

Now, I've got some ideas.

For a start, I'm going to join the
company.

But you cook my dinners.

The reason I'm coming to work at the
company is to give Bainbridges a more

acceptable face.

Mine. I've got a lovely face.

I'm referring to the image you present.
And currently, it's one of a miserable,

aggressive old fart.

Who doesn't care whether we get work or
not.

Well, I've had a lot of problems
recently.

That's a dig at me, Leslie.

Anyway, some of my old regulars like my
John Bull attitude.

Well, they can have it. I'm thinking
about new customers. As a matter of

I've had quite a few thoughts.

First, you, Leslie.

I can't commit to anything full -time. I
lead a very busy life. It involves

spending money.

Oh? You've got flair. You know what
style is.

Refurbish the place.

Well? Get on with it.

I get a free hand, yes?

But... That's not an open cheque book. I
want to know what things cost before we

buy them. You take the fun out of
everything.

I've often thought of you as a hooker,
Veronica.

Like in rugby.

Beavering in to get the ball, to give it
to me, so I can crash through the

opposition. Oh, that sort of hooker.
Yeah.

And that's what I'll do with you as my
new secretary.

Lionel, I'm not going to be your
secretary.

Go Friday.

No. Personal assistant.

Partner. Partner?

Partner. But... Well, you wear eye heels
and make -up. What's it got to do with

anything? Women don't make business
executives.

They do in this century.

Women can't drink.

Take big John Bagshaw. How are you going
to go to lunch with him, get through

ten or twelve pints and still be sober
enough to get his safe home to paint his

amusement arcade every year?

The Big John Bagshaws of this world are
your province.

There are customers whose idea of a
business lunch is not drinking 10 or 12

pints and seeing who's first to fall on
the floor. And those are my province.

Now, let me mention the magic word,
expansion.

Yeah, I've still got plans for that.
Yeah, which consists of tapping someone

a loan.

Yeah. Yeah, forget all that. I've done
breakdowns.

And I've got a detailed business
proposition that we put to the bank. And

not wrong, they'll lend us three times
as much money as you've ever dared to

for.

Three times? Yes.

That's incredible.

Veronica, if you did become a partner, I
wouldn't shrink into insignificance,

would I?

Of course you wouldn't.

You're an institution, Lionel.

Yeah, I am.

Almost a legend, I suppose.

Well?

We'll do it.

You won't regret it? You and me, eh,
Veronica?

Bainbridge and Bainbridge! Yes! There's
only one thing I insist on, though.

What's that? My name comes first.

I wouldn't have it any other way.

Still on for lunch?

Oh, yeah, not half. Me and Sandra will
see you there.

Very nice.

Yeah.

Oh, um, incidentally, I've got a bit of
inside dope on a certain foreign

government. Lionel? Yeah.

He's taken Veronica on as a business
partner.

Has he now?

Only you're not supposed to know about
it. Oh, naturally.

Quite pleased, actually.

It'd be nice to have a human being
working over there.

Here, listen. If she asks you to become
a double agent, you won't fall victim to

her blandishments, now, will you? I'm
already a double agent.

If she asked me, I'd have to become a
triple agent.

Yeah, then I'll have to ask you back and
you'll become a quadruple agent.

There's only one floor in all this
espionage business.

What's that, then?

Nobody's paying me anything.

Now, don't get mercenary, Eric.

You and I are... Quick, it's your boss
from the Kremlin coming across the road.

Take the cyanide pill, all right, out
the back.

Take the cyanide pill.

Ha, ha, ha.

Ho, ho, ho, ho.

What are you talking about?

Well, I thought you'd come over for a
laugh.

I have come over, Sonny Jim, to tell you
that you are on a slippery slope.

Things are going on over the road.

Subsidence?

Prune. Things are going on above your
head.

Above my head? Over the road?

God, blimey, Lionel, what things?

I'm not telling you. Tell her, then.

I'll tell you this.

Documents have changed hands. Things
have been notarised.

Well, you want to get yourself a good
lawyer, then, mate, if that's the sort

trouble you're in.

You're the one who's in trouble.

Why? Because.

Tell her then, Lionel.

Business isn't just drinking each other
under the table at lunchtime, you know.

Isn't it?

What is it about, then? Other things.

In brief cases.

You've lost me, Lionel.

I've got portfolios.

And... And... Breakdowns.

Vans or mental?

I'll miss you by miles, don't I?

Yes, you do, Lionel. I can only take a
wild stab in the dark and suggest you

took Veronica on as a partner and she's
going to streamline the business for

you.

I haven't. She isn't.

Liar! Shut up!

He's always been somewhat of an enigma,
hasn't he, Lionel?

There he goes. Look, he's so
inscrutable, Eric, he should have been

I've cracked it! I've cracked it!

Crack what?

bought a beach bar in Australia.

How? Oh, precisely I was drinking with
last night.

Took all my compensation, but it'll be
worth it. Oh, dear.

What? You haven't bought a worthless
piece of paper, have you? I'm not

am I? We went down to Australia House
this morning and done the business.

It's all legal, above board and binding.

Well, what can I say?

Except, uh, good on you, Digger.

Hey, that's me, Digger Pup.

Well, it seems a sound investment,
doesn't it? I mean, they say that

the water half their lives anyway, them
Australians. There is a theory that some

of them are actually developing gills.
Right.

Miles of beaches, thousands of Aussies
in the water, including loads of them

big, tanned Australian birds.

Shirleys, they call them.

Oh, dear.

Anyway, out of the water they come.

Boiling up 400 degrees or so, I don't
know.

So they fancy a drink, don't they? So
where's the first place they head for?

Digger Putney's Beach Bar.

Exactly. And there I'll be waiting for
them in me vest.

Well, I couldn't be more pleased for
you, Elmer.

We'll miss you, of course.

Yeah. You've been like a sort of father
confesser to us.

Yeah.

Is it though England's losing a
landmark?

Yeah. Don't go on, boys. I've been
waiting for somebody to say those things

me for years and now they've been said,
I feel over -sick.

You haven't gone yet.

You know what I mean.

I'm taking the dog, by the way. He's
ever so excited about it. Yeah, well, he

would be. We're going by boat so I can
give him a bit of exercise.

I don't suppose you'd both come down to
Southampton and see me off?

Well, um... Honey, I'd like somebody to
wave to me.

We'll be there, Elmo, yeah.

Thanks.

Well, lots to do.

I'm off to buy some insect repellent.

Very wise.

Oh, now, look, it goes without saying
that if you're ever down under, that's

what Australia calls itself, you look me
up, yeah?

Just ask for Digger Putney's Beach Bar.
Anyone will tell you where it is.

Right. Elmo, just on the off chance that
this Australian doesn't know where it

is, what town's it in? Oh, pretty name
it is, Alice Springs.

Thanks very much indeed.

Oh, and 16 chapatis, please.

Oh, we must remember I'm the uniformed
to onion barges for looking after the

kids. Right.

Of course, the money I'm on now, I might
be able to afford a full -time nanny.

Perhaps a young Swedish girl would...
Oh, yeah.

We'll have a part -time auntie Eunice
and like it. Work a try.

Oh, and this smashing. Everything's on
the up. It is for me as well.

Only nobody's noticed this.

You look very nice.

No, this.

Oh! Congratulations.

Well done.

The Jimmy DeGiordi series, then.

He's a lovely fella.

He's a lucky fella, Sandra.

If he wants a best man, I'm not pushing
myself forward or anything, but I am

very experienced at it. And with you and
Jimmy, there would actually be a

wedding. Oh, don't.

Will you be living up north?

Oh, no, Jimmy's got a job down here.

Anyway, I couldn't live. My boss
wouldn't know what to do without me.

Your boss is very quiet, isn't he?

Is his awesome burden of responsibility
weighing him down, do you think?

You are glad about me being engaged.

Yes, of course I am. Well, show it then.
A smile costs nothing.

Been reading Patience Strong again?

You should look unsee, that's all.

I'm all right. Good.

Look, don't play the lonesome stranger.
You are with friends.

It's the business.

Oh, it's not going down the pan already,
is it? No, no, it's very promising.

Very promising.

It's just that I still feel there's a
hole in your trousers.

Eric.

Go on, Jacko.

Well, there's still something missing in
my life.

What is it?

If I knew, I'd tell you, wouldn't I?

Don't get strappy with me.

All right, all right. It's just the
mood.

You've had it a long time.

Yeah, I know. Let's change the subject,
shall we?

I tell you what, we'll have some of
those jilabis for after.

They do them a treat here.

Of course, this is quite a stamping
ground of yours, isn't it? Yeah.

I think over the years I must have sat
at every table. With a different woman.

Yeah, yeah.

Lamb down sack with Dagmar.

Chicken biryani with Fiona.

Creamy not prawn madras with Serafina.

I know what I want.

Julie.

Ta -da! What?

Excuse me. Could you make that 12
chapatis, please?

Julie?

No, she doesn't work here anymore. She
left about four months ago.

Well, do you know where she's gone?
Sorry, I don't know.

Well, who would know?

Personnel, right?

Personnel, right. Where do I find them?
On the third floor.

Oh, thanks.

Oh, but...

You

see, I really do need to get in contact
with her.

I mean, if you had a forwarding address,
I'd be ever so grateful.

Well, yes, we do keep addresses of ex
-employees in case we need to get in

with them.

Oh.

Yes, here it is. Oh, great.

It looks like it's moved to the Isle of
Wight.

Oh?

Just a mo', just a mo'. We don't hand
out addresses to just anybody, Miss

Proctor. Oh, not just anybody.

Who are you, then?

Somebody.

If you were family...

Well, I am. I'm Julie's brother.

Have you any proof of that?

Well, I don't wander around with a big
document on me saying I am Julie's

brother, no.

How come you don't know where she lives?

We've lost touch.

Oh, isn't that sad?

Yes, that's not sad, Miss Proctor.
That's full of holes.

I smell sardines.

If you are who you claim you are, you'll
certainly know Julie's surname.

What is it?

Yes, it... Er...

No, it's not her.

Well, um... Well, it will be the same as
yours.

Yes. Yes.

It... I see. Don't know your own
surname, either.

Well, of course I do.

It's just that, well, Julie changed her
surname by deed poll, you see, to...

I've had enough of this. I'm getting on
to security.

Hey!

Well, don't just sit there. We're
supposed to tackle him.

I'm leaving myself.

Security?

Is

that

him?

Just a minute.

Close one down.

Hello, Julie.

Jacko!

What on earth are you doing here?

I was just passing.

Couldn't have been.

No, I wanted to see you.

See?

How are you?

I'm fine.

So how are you?

I'm fine.

It's a nice garden.

Thank you.

Hello?

Well, when we stopped... Jacker. No,
please, Julie, let me finish.

When we stopped seeing each other, you
said you didn't fancy me. Yes.

So was it the truth?

Well, not entirely.

So why did you say it then? Because I
wasn't sure.

I didn't want you to take on something
you might regret later.

A serious relationship with me is...
Well, it's not easy.

There are bits of it that are not
romantic.

I didn't know if you were ready.

Well, I'm ready now.

No. No, come on, Julie, it's not too
late. It is.

Why?

Jacko?

Bye, Julie.

Because of you.

Because of you.

Oh, and you love nature.

You love nature. You love nature.
