1
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:06,600
Leonard awoke to a world
that felt somehow different,

2
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,840
a world filled
with possibility and hope.

3
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:14,880
{\an8}
quarter to nine

4
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:18,920
{\an8}

5
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:23,520

on the belt

6
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:27,040


7
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:32,280

it works

8
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:37,120

got to hurt

9
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,560

00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,680


11
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:46,000

when you're around

12
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,120


13
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,440


14
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:54,680


15
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:56,760


16
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,520


17
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,800

you're around...

18
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,320
BELL

19
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:16,000
Leonard and Shelley's first date
had ended with what he believed

20
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,360
to be the perfect kiss.

21
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,560
But his tendency to overthink things
had him wondering if that kiss

22
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,280
had somehow changed the rules.

23
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,520
What was the appropriate
post-date greeting?

24
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,040
- Nice to see you again.
- And you.

25
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,520
COURTLY FANFARE

26
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,040
DRAMATIC, ORCHESTRAL SWELL

27
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,400
Coming to his senses,
Leonard decided that,

28
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,680
if he kept it simple,
he couldn't go wrong.

29
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:55,240
Oh...

30
00:01:58,480 --> 00:01:59,560
Sorry.

31
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,520
I don't know what that was.

32
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,920
I...I don't think there's a
name for it.

33
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,640
Should we try again?

34
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,200
I mean, I'd like to,
but maybe not here?

35
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,440
I think we should try and keep
things on the down low

36
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,080
while being in the office, you know?

37
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,960
We don't want HR on our backs.

38
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,040
Got it.

39
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,560
Especially with
what happened with my last job,

40
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,880
I do not need
another legal battle on my hands.

41
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,800
Oh, you have to put a bit in about
those emperors and their pet lions.

42
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,440
- What?
- Nothing. I'm just glad you like the idea.

43
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,800
You should have
written your own book ages ago.

44
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,640
Do you really think the world
needs another Roman encyclopaedia?

45
00:02:56,640 --> 00:02:58,840
But this one will
be completely different.

46
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:00,160
This one will be all yours.

47
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:03,880
Actually...

48
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,280
..why don't you pitch the idea
to Mark Baxter right now?

49
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:10,440
- No.
- What?

50
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,480
It's more... It's the...
Is that the idea stage, really.

51
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,920
- What have you got to lose?
Do it... - Ooh!

52
00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:20,480
- Don't you two look cosy?
- We're talking shop, actually.

53
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:25,120
Erm, because Leonard
has a fantastic new idea

54
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,000
that he'd like to pitch
to Mark Baxter.

You, up you come. Come on, let's go.

73

75
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:39,680

- SHELLEY, BANDITO VOICE:
- So long, sucka! Ha-ha!

00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,520
- I'm off.
- Sh...Shelley,

81
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:16,080
I was going to ask if you want to
go to the Darwin exhibition in town.

82
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,280
I'm thinking maybe tonight?

83
00:05:18,280 --> 00:05:20,440
I'm actually busy tonight

84
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,600
but what about later in the week?

85
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:25,800
- Great.
- OK.

Ah, Leinster.

00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,960
Ah, you're wasting your time
with her.

89
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,800
- With who?
- Shelley. She doesn't like to mix business with pleasure.

90
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:53,920
Right.

91
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,240
Anyway, I'm pretty sure she
has a fella on the go.

92
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,920
- Oh, does she now?
- Yeah. I heard her arranging to go to

93
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:00,880
the cinema tonight
with a guy called Patrick.

94
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,920
Hmm. Heya, gorgeous, how are you?

I love that colour on you!

NARRATOR: If you were to list the
million most frequently asked

97
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:17,120
questions in the universe, "Who is
Patrick?" would not be amongst them.

98
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,600
And yet, for Leonard,
it was the only question.

99
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,960
Suddenly, Patrick was everywhere.

100
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,000
Next stop, Patrick Street.

101
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,360
A day that had begun with such
promise was fast losing its lustre.

102
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,200
And matters weren't helped
by the mail waiting for him at home.

103
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,360
It was an unwelcome reminder
that he had still to choose

104
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,960
a fitting receptacle
for his mother's ashes.

105
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,080

Jesus.

107
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,880

and one he wasn't ready to make.

I didn't realise it got that rough.

112
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:56,880
It is what it is.

113
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:10,480
So, the big award ceremony this week
for your email competition,

114
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:11,960
that's exciting.

00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,240
Are you nervous at all?

116
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:20,720
Nope.

117
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,320
I'm sorry I missed games night
last night.

118
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,600
I got a bit caught up
in the whole Shelley thing.

Water under the bridge.

120
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,920
So, how is the
old office romance going?

121
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,040
Honestly, I don't know.

122
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,160
I think she might be at the cinema
right now with...

123
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:01,760
..some guy called Patrick.

124
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:02,840
Hmm.

Sorry, I didn't come here
to unload my woes on you.

00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,640
You're losing your queen.

127
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,960
I don't think she was ever my queen.

128
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,560
What?

129
00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:22,800
No, bishop to G5,
you're losing your queen.

130
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,440
Check.

131
00:09:25,560 --> 00:09:26,640
Ah, right.

NARRATOR: After a sleepless night,

133
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:38,240
Leonard avoided the unwelcome sight
of his mother's empty bedroom

134
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,480
and instead prepared himself
to face Shelley.

135
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,400
He knew there was no point
delaying the inevitable,

136
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,600
living in wilful ignorance
was not an option.

137
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:55,840
He would simply ask Shelley
who Patrick was.

138
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:57,320
You're welcome. Bye.

139
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:01,240
- Hey, Leonard.
- Hey, Shelley.

140
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,440
You look tired. Big night?

141
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,040
Uh, not really.

142
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,720
I spent most of it catching up
on my writer's block. You?

143
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,280
Just living the dream.

144
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,080
- Everything all right?
- Ah, yeah, I had something I wanted

145
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:21,880
to say to...ask...

146
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,320
- Yeah, ask you.
- OK, ask away.

147
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:25,360
Mmm.

148
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,000
Could I speak
to you some...somewhere else?

149
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,240
Yeah. Sounds ominous.

150
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:34,880
- In here?
- Yeah, sure.

151
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,040
- Right.
- What's up?

152
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,640
So, there is something
I wanted to say to you.

153
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:46,680
Ask.

154
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:50,320
Right.

155
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,320
There was something I wanted
to ask you.

156
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:58,960
But, uh, now I can't quite remember
what that was.

157
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:00,760
Why don't you just ask me?

158
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,960
Did you go to cinema last night
with some guy called Patrick?

159
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:06,880
Yes, I did.

160
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,160
Oh.

161
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,480
We went to see Fart Of Darkness.

162
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:15,240
OK.

163
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:16,360
Patrick's my son.

164
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,000
I took him to the cinema
for his birthday.

165
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:23,960
- You have a son?
- Mm-hm.

166
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,760
Is that going to be a problem
for you or...?

167
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,760
- Oh, no. Of course not.
- OK.

168
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,480
Actually, he is a big fan of yours.

169
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,440
Facts At My Fingertips is
a bedroom favourite at our house.

170
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:40,960
That's lovely.

171
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,320
Yeah, I imagined Patrick was some
kind of alpha male

172
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,640
that I could not compete with.

173
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,040
I didn't think he was a toddler.

174
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,880
Well, actually, Patrick's seven and
you could never compete with him.

175
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,400
No, no, no, no,
I didn't mean like that.

176
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:56,840
No, I know you weren't...

177
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,160
Sorry, that was... I was..

178
00:11:58,160 --> 00:11:59,320
Ugh.

179
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:03,120
I actually tend not to bring up
Patrick on a first date.

180
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,360
I reckon it's more
of a third-date thing, right?

181
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,040
Correct.

182
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,080
And I like to separate, you know,

183
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,720
hot mum Shelley from
hot date Shelley.

184
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,320
- Of course.
- Yeah.

185
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:19,040
- I really didn't mean...
- I know, of course you didn't.

186
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:20,920
Don't even worry about it.

187
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,080
But I do need to get back
to whatever it is I do here.

188
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,760
- All right.
- So... - Me too.

189
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,600
OK, great. Well, see ya.

190
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,360
NARRATOR: Feeling that things
with Shelley had been left on

191
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:52,200
a slightly uncomfortable note,
by 4pm, Leonard had decided upon

192
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,120
a grand gesture, which he was
certain would put an end

193
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:56,560
to any such awkwardness.

194
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,400
LEONARD: Shelley.

195
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,000
Here.

196
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,320
What's this?

197
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,760
It's the latest edition of Mark
Baxter's Facts At My Fingertips.

198
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,000
- Oh!
- I signed it to Patrick for his birthday.

199
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:12,040
Oh.

200
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:14,880
Thank you.

201
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,040
OK. See ya.

202
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:24,800
- INHALING:
- Awkward.

203
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,440
Much to his family's excitement,

204
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:48,240
the day of Hungry Paul's
award ceremony had arrived.

205
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,560
However, for Hungry Paul,
gala or not,

206
00:13:51,560 --> 00:13:53,720
the highlight
of his day would always be

207
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,400
the silence he enjoyed
with his morning routine.

208
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,600
Elsewhere, Leonard was drowning out
the silence with thoughts of Shelley

209
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,120
and the question of
what his next move should be.

210
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,720
Finishing his morning routine
with a walk,

211
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,960
Hungry Paul found a little
more silence along the way,

212
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,120
while escaping the noise
of Grace's wedding plans.

213
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,720
We could put the Flemings
at table five,

214
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,600
but then we need to find a place
for Jane.

215
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,840
Aw, lovely Jane,
I haven't seen her for years.

216
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,320
Such a sweetheart. Well, there's
still a place at table eight,

217
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,760
which would put her beside
Uncle Michael.

218
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,680
- The sex tourist?
- Don't say that!

219
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,240
Messy divorces create nasty rumours,

220
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,880
and I, for one,
never believed a word of it.

221
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,360
So I'll put her on table eight.

222
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:53,520
BOTH: God, no.

223
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,160
- So, do we know where
the honeymoon's going to be? - Nope.

224
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,640
Andrew's organising the whole thing,
wants it to be a surprise.

225
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,560
Ooh, what a smoothie.

226
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,120
I think he's feeling a bit bad
about being away so much

227
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,160
- before the wedding.
Not that I'm complaining. - Hmm.

228
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,720
Maybe I should do the same thing
for your mother.

229
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,480
{\an8}Well, why not?

230
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,440
{\an8}You've been talking about taking
a big trip forever.

231
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,040
{\an8}Hmm, I think we've enough
on our plate just at the moment.

232
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,920
{\an8}Speaking of which,
where is my little brother?

233
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,280
Well, he was having trouble
with his cufflinks,

234
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:26,960
so he nipped out to clear his head.

235
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:35,040
You must have written some email
sign-off to get nominated

236
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:36,400
for a Chamber of Commerce award.

237
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,960
You can stop fishing,
I'm not telling you my entry.

238
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:41,880
You know, if you win...

239
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:43,400
What have you done here?

240
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:46,760
..why don't you copyright the phrase

241
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,200
and then you'll earn
some money every time it's used?

242
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,320
I'm not looking to make money.

243
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,480
I want to contribute to society,
make a difference.

244
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:55,960
Give the money to charity.

245
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:57,880
It's fundraising, not charity.

246
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,800
I want to make a clean,
straight contribution to the world.

247
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,560
Just a thought.

248
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,040
And we're done.

249
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:05,320
Ah, thanks.

250
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,560
- Give me a look at that eye.
- Huh? Oh, God.

251
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:11,640
- Mm.
- Oh, stop.

252
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,200
Any updates on the love life?

253
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,720
- Shelley, isn't it?
- She now has a seven-year-old son.

254
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,000
Oh, you work quick.

255
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,120
His name's Patrick.

256
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:23,880
And you didn't know?

257
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:24,960
No.

258
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,440
Well, that's quite a big surprise.
How did you react?

259
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:29,800
I don't know, Grace.

260
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,160
I didn't know how to react,
so possibly...badly.

261
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,240
Well, does Patrick
change things for you?

262
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,880
No. I'm hoping I didn't make
it seems like it does.

263
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,000
Well, her son
is obviously her number one.

264
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,440
All she needs from you
is to know you're interested.

265
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,760
Let's go, don't want to be late!
Come on.

266
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,360
- I am interested.
- Good.

267
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,640
Then show her you're interested.

268
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,080
Come on.

269
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,000
- ON PHONE:
- Hey, Leonard. - Hey, Shelley.

270
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,280
I, uh... It's a bit last minute,
I know,

271
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,800
a friend of mine has been
nominated for an award

272
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:13,560
- and there's a sort of gala today.
Now, actually. - OK.

273
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,200
I was wondering
if you'd like to come...? Come?

274
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:22,320
Oh. Sounds good, but I promised
Patrick we'd spend the day together.

275
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,960
Well, you could bring him.
There's face painting, clowns.

276
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,000
It's the perfect family day out.

277
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,560
Not that I'm saying that we're...

278
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,200
I'm only saying it's for everyone.

279
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,400
Sounds good,
but we'll stick to our plans.

280
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,840
Right. Sure.

281
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,320
Another time, maybe?

282
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:43,200
- Anyway, wish your friend luck
for me. - Absolutely.

283
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,120
- Bye, Leonard.
- Bye.

284
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,040
You all right?

285
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,120
- Isn't this impressive, though?
- Yeah.

286
00:18:15,120 --> 00:18:16,880
Where's our nominee?

287
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,640
I think he had to declare his
presence to the powers that be.

288
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:21,680
- Aloha.
- Oh!

289
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,640
- "Special guest"!
- Uh, yep, that's me. - That's impressive.

290
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,360
Here, should you not
be inside, love?

291
00:18:28,360 --> 00:18:30,440
They said, when they need me,
they will find me.

292
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,280
Found you! Wendy Davenport,
chamber president.

293
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:34,360
We're starting shortly,

294
00:18:34,360 --> 00:18:37,080
so we need to get you inside to meet
the other nominees.

295
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,600
Best of luck!

296
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:41,920
APPLAUSE

297
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:50,920
Let's hear it again for the Saint
Jude's National school dancers.

298
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,120
SCATTERED APPLAUSE

299
00:18:53,120 --> 00:18:55,200
Didn't they start off well?
Not to worry.

300
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,680
So, some time ago,

301
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,120
we asked you, the public,

302
00:19:02,120 --> 00:19:09,520
to create a new email sign-off for
the Chamber of Commerce nationwide,

303
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,800
in all business correspondence.

304
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,440
And three of you
more than rose to the occasion.

305
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,600
UNCERTAIN APPLAUSE

306
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,520
And so, without further ado...

307
00:19:27,120 --> 00:19:31,240
In third place, Dermot Larkin,

308
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,320
who suggested,
"Don't be a stranger."

309
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,280
APPLAUSE

310
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:39,760
Well done, Dermot.

311
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,240
Well done.

312
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,680
Um, in second place,
with an excellent entry,

313
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,840
which the judges described as,

314
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:54,600
"Practical, permissive
and not wholly original,"

315
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:58,320
was Carol Flanagan, who suggested,

316
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,880
"Please feel free to get in touch."

317
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:04,600
Well done, Carol.

318
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:11,160
Which means it's time to reveal
our winning submission.

319
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,680
It's the most elegant of entries.

320
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,120
OK, here we go.

321
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:19,840
Drum roll, please.

322
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,560
No drum roll, OK.

323
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,760
Our new email sign-off phrase is...

324
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,760
"You may wish to note the above"!

325
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:39,480
Are we...? Yeah?

326
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,280
Welcome onto the stage,
our winner!

327
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,280
CHEERING

328
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,400
Congratulations. Congratulations.

329
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:49,200
He won!

330
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,040
To the casual observer,

331
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,320
it might have appeared
like a classic case of stage fright.

332
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:20,920
It wasn't.

333
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,320
In a world of noise, Hungry Paul
found himself sharing

334
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:29,680
a rare moment of silence
with a room full of strangers,

335
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,280
and he wanted to bask in that moment
for as long as possible.

336
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,000
Not everybody felt the same way.

337
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:43,680
Ha-ha, speechless!

338
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,080
I think that says it all!

339
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:49,880
- Whoo!
- Whoo!

340
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,640
APPLAUSE DISTORTS AND ECHOES

341
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,200
Having never won anything before,

342
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,600
this was a new experience
for Hungry Paul.

343
00:22:01,360 --> 00:22:05,680
It was unfamiliar, loud,
and not to his liking.

344
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,480
APPLAUSE BECOMES A CACOPHONY

345
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,120
SUDDEN SILENCE

346
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:17,920
Are you OK?

347
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,200
Uh, yeah. Fine, thanks.

348
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:23,320
I'm Arno.

349
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,160
I was the mime.

350
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,680
- I didn't think mimes were allowed
to talk. - I'm off duty now.

351
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,760
That accent, trying to place it.

352
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,560
- Limerick?
- France.

353
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:39,600
- Bingo.
- I was really impressed by your speech, it was magnificent.

354
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,320
I don't think I said anything?

355
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:44,320
Didn't you?

356
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,560
You know,
the National Mime Association

357
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,040
is interviewing
for a new spokesperson.

358
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,400
I think you should apply
for the position.

359
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,040
Spokesperson?

360
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:56,080
For mimes?

361
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:03,080
Think about it.

362
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,760
THE FAMILY ARGUE PLAYFULLY

363
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,160
LEONARD TAPS A GLASS

364
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,640
Afraid it's time
for my Irish goodbye.

365
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,680
You know, I think
if you tell people you're leaving,

366
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,680
it just classifies
as a common goodbye.

367
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,360
Oh, right.

368
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:43,400
See you at games night?

369
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:47,240
- Oh, yes, I was thinking
The Game Of Life. - Very good.

370
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,560
Although you might already
be winning that one.

371
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:53,840
- Goodnight.
- Goodnight, Leonard.

372
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:00,840
Was that Leonard sneaking off?

373
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:02,680
Yeah, and doing a terrible job
at it.

374
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,800
You should be very proud.

375
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:08,840
Thanks.

376
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:12,880
What do you think you'll do
with all that money?

377
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,760
I don't know,
I hadn't really thought about it.

378
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:17,200
You should.

379
00:24:18,360 --> 00:24:20,760
You know, I'm getting married,

380
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,680
Mum and Dad are retired.

381
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:27,000
So maybe you should think of...

382
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:28,480
Retiring?

383
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:29,920
Moving on.

384
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:35,120
Now, this windfall could be
the very thing you need

385
00:24:35,120 --> 00:24:36,960
to kick on with your life.

386
00:24:39,120 --> 00:24:41,360
- What do you mean?
- Oh, come on.

387
00:24:41,360 --> 00:24:44,720
You're not planning on spending
the rest of your life

388
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:46,920
playing Guess Who,
living with Mum and Dad.

389
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,320
- DAD:
- Ready? Three, two, one.

390
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,000
You know what?

391
00:24:56,120 --> 00:24:57,200
Don't listen to me.

392
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,080
Blame it on the grape juice.

393
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,720
You did great today.

394
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:04,800
Congratulations.

395
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,400
That evening, accepting that

396
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:29,280
the road to romance would never
be without its bumps,

397
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,600
Leonard,
inspired by his friend's success,

398
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,760
decided to take a break
from the realities of our world

399
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,840
and lose himself
in a world of his own making.
