- Would you like some more kedgeree? - No, thank you.
That seems a rather interesting letter.
It's from my Auntie Pat.
Oh, the one who runs a B&B?
No... Soon to be a four-star family hotel.
- Oh! - And she's invited us to the grand gala reopening.
Really?
"An evening of champagne and sophistication
- "with the theme of the 1920s." - Oh, it sounds wonderful!
I can't wait to see this place.
Then she goes onto say, can we help with the painting, decorating
and getting the place ship-shape.
Well, she's asking rather a lot.
She has an inspector coming from the Anderson's Hotel Guide.
Oh, sorry, what's that?
"An annual survey of the most prestigious hotels in Britain."
She really is pushing the boat out.
Yes?
Oh, no, no, nothing.
Oh, gosh, right. Um...
Well, thank you for the most delicious kedgeree.
- Have a good day. - You too!
How do you fancy a trip to the seaside?
- So, is it still the same as you remember? - It is.
Every summer, as a child, I'd come down here
and play with all the local children on the beach.
Did you used to play pirates?
- LAUGHING: - Yes!
They were the pirates. I was the customs man who caught them.
Of course!
Shame we have so much work to do, though.
If only we had an army of helpers...
- Surprise! - Surprise!
What the...?! How...? How did...?
Well, you said your Auntie Pat needed some help.
I thought it would be a nice surprise for you.
Well, it's definitely a surprise.
We are very keen to get to work, Inspector,
so you can have more time with your wife.
Oh, this place is amazing. I've seen pictures of the seaside,
but I never knew the sand was so warm and so soft.
What, Brenda, you've...
You've never actually been to the seaside before?
Well, my mum died when I was seven. We never got to go on holidays.
Ahoy, there, landlubbers!
Ha-ha! Auntie Pat!
Hello! Hello! Hello!
You must be Isabel.
How lovely. How lovely to put a face to that melodious voice.
- Lovely to meet you. - Auntie Pat! How are you?
Marvellous, darling. But what's happened to you?
You're skin and bone. Aren't you feeding him?
I do give him three square meals a day.
I'm only teasing. Mind you,
actually, you have to keep your eye on this one around food.
When he was a boy, he used to sneak into the kitchen
searching for the chocolate profiteroles.
We used to call him Edgar the Chocolate Heffalump.
Don't tell me - Father Brown. And Sergeant Goodfellow and, um,
- Brenda. - Hi!
It's nice to meet you. We're here to help in any way that we can.
Oh, you know this is manna, manna from heaven!
Because there is just so much that has to be done.
I see you've been picking wild flowers.
Yes, well they make very nice table decorations.
Right, let us get you all checked in.
Follow me!
Come along, Chocolate Heffalump.
Raymond? Raymond?
Raymond!
- Raymond! - Yes, dear, that is my name, thank you for reminding me.
- What? - When are you going to hang up this picture up?
I am rather busy trying to organise a gala dinner.
If you didn't spend so much time arguing,
- it might actually be ready by now. Mrs Parkinson! - Ah!
Oh, my word! Who is this?
Well, here's Edgar.
The only member of my family I've never been tempted to strangle.
CHUCKLING
May I introduce Raymond and Cynthia,
my deputy managers who've worked here for 30 years.
In fact, they met and married here.
Oh, isn't that nice?
Yes, so, um, I think we have a double room with a sea view.
Oh, yes, I'll sort that.
So, tonight, we are having a rehearsal
of the 1920s-themed dinner.
We are testing a few of the recipes that we're serving tomorrow.
But there's so much work to do, so many jobs.
- Window cleaning, gardening... - I could help with that.
And I'm a dab hand with a shammy leather.
Oh... Well, come along, yes.
Raymond? What is all this mess?
- Ooh! - Mr Crabtree.
- He won't do any more work until he's been fully paid. - Fine!
Well, we'll just put wallpapering on the list of things to do.
Yes, put those flowers in water before they wilt.
- Yes, Mrs Parkinson. - For you. - Thank you.
- And for you. - Thank you.
She's such a character, Auntie Pat!
No-one would argue with that.
Although, did she seem a bit peaky?
- Peaky? What do you mean? - The way she was leaning on reception.
Just a bit fragile.
Auntie Pat is as fragile as a Sherman tank!
If you say so.
And I am sorry if my surprise turned out to be more of a shock.
Yes, this was supposed to be our honeymoon, not a parish outing.
I know! But we will spend more time together...
..once we've got through all our jobs.
- Do you think I should wear these earrings tonight? - Yes.
You didn't even look at them!
Because I am busy organising tonight's dinner,
tomorrow night's gala, and we've got an inspector coming!
Well, well, well.
This place hasn't changed a bit.
It's practically a museum.
Max Bishop!
Raymond.
Cynthia. How are you?
We're fine.
We're good, actually.
Mrs Parkinson has made us deputy manager.
Oh! Well, that's something, I suppose.
Now, can you book me into the grand suite for three days?
Sorry, Max, we're not open until next week,
we've just got friends and family staying.
I worked here for seven years.
I think that makes me family.
Well, Father, that was some very enthusiastic pruning.
Sharp shears!
I'm sure that the hydrangeas will grow back...
What are you doing here?
I'm just checking in to your most expensive room.
Oh! Edgar! Don't you look smart.
Yes, do come and sit down.
- Now, then, Auntie Pat... - Mm? - ..are you all right?
Yes. Yes, I'm always all right.
It's the rest of the world that's all wrong.
I thought as much. Glad to hear it.
- Shall I show the guests in, Mrs Parkinson? - Oh, yes, yes.
Come on, come all.
Where would you like me to sit?
Just on the other side of Edgar. And then we can fight over him!
CHUCKLING
Please, everybody else, just sit wherever you like.
That is an awful lot of cutlery. Which is normally a good sign.
Well, we are serving a three-course dinner,
followed by petit-fours and lots of profiteroles.
Oh! Good news for you, Mr Heffalump!
Thank you, Miss Palmer.
Father Brown? Champagne?
Well, that is a very easy question to answer.
Yes, please.
LAUGHTER
CORK POPS
- Quickly! - Yes, yes.
Quickly!
Bit out of practice, Raymond?
Max.
I had a feeling that you might join us.
Please make yourself comfortable.
Over there.
- Would you like me to serve? - Yes, of course!
No, no, no, dear. Silver service.
At the table!
Ahem! Mesdames et messieurs.
Ahem!
The Palace Hotel has stood on this site for nigh on 70 years.
Constantly battled by the cruel sea.
But the sea yields up treasure,
and you will taste that treasure in our Bouillabaisse. Bon appetit.
- Please do start. I can't bear cold food. - Right...
It's, um...
How is it for you, Father?
It tastes very much of the sea.
It's extremely salty.
What?!
Well, I... I can't think why it would be,
I was terribly careful with the seasoning. Thank you.
PAT MUTTERS
None for me, thank you.
This is all your doing, isn't it?!
That's a very serious accusation. Would you care to repeat it?
Actually, I might have put too much salt in.
Ah, yes, too many cooks. Well, let's hope you get things sorted.
Before the inspector gets here.
RECEPTION BELL DINGS
How do you know about that?
Oh, when you move in the circles I move in, you hear things.
- Yes? - Mr Wendle.
You remember your old work colleague, Max Bishop?
He's been seen wandering round town.
Yes. I know.
Just remember,
I got rid of you once before
and I can get rid of you again.
GASPS
Mrs Parkinson!
Nice to see you, Sergeant Oldham.
How are Julia, and the little ones?
Not so little now, I imagine.
We're all very well, thank you.
Good. Well, I've had quite enough fun for one evening.
And I'll see you all tomorrow. Good luck.
You're going to need it.
- Auntie Pat? - I should never have risen to the bait.
I'm going to leave you now
in the capable hands of Cynthia and Raymond.
Goodnight.
Ah!
I do hope Auntie Pat is all right.
That man really seemed to upset her.
Oh, she's a tough old thing.
- She certainly gives as good as she gets. - She does!
THEY CHUCKLE
What's that?
It's a bucket.
No, underneath it.
Oh!
Et nomine patri, et filio, et Spiritui Sancto, amen.
Thank you, Father.
What a terrible way for a man to meet his maker.
- Indeed. - I suspect he was hit over the head with a blunt object
before being buried, as the tide came in.
That is my hypothesis.
What about that dark stain on his forehead?
Any idea what that is?
Inspector, I'm sure you do a marvellous job
in your leafy little village, but you leave things to us, eh?
And enjoy your holiday.
- BRENDA: - Any idea who killed him?
Technically, that would be the sea.
Which also did a very good job of washing away most of the evidence.
Hello!
What's going on?
I'm afraid one of your guests has been murdered, Mrs Wendle.
- No! - Mr Bishop.
Max?!
Sergeant Oldham?
Yes, Father?
There's a champagne bottle in this bin.
- And? - It's unopened.
It's bloodstained.
And it comes from The Palace Hotel.
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your co-operation thus far.
We believe the murder took place between eight o'clock,
when Mr Bishop was dining here,
and midnight, when the tide was high.
I need to know all of your movements after eight.
Well, I was serving dinner to these good people here
and then at about nine o'clock, I locked up
and went briefly outside to inspect the grounds.
Can anyone corroborate your version of events?
Yes. I can. I was with him the whole time.
Every single second?
Mostly. We worked together, we went outside together,
- then we went to bed, just after ten. - Ten.
- Mrs Parkinson? - What? Yes?
Where did you go, after you stormed out of the restaurant?
Stormed? I went upstairs
to make a list of all the jobs that needed doing
before today's inspection.
So, now can we please get a move on?
- Auntie Pat... - Hmm? What?
It doesn't look good if you lose your temper.
Oh. Right.
Patricia Parkinson.
I'm arresting you for the murder of Max Bishop.
On what grounds?
There were two sets of fingerprints on the murder weapon,
the bottle of champagne. Mr Bishop himself,
and Mrs Parkinson's.
Well, yes, it was my champagne! Because it came from my cellar.
- But... - You are not obliged to say anything,
but anything you say may be given in evidence. This way, please.
- But this is ridiculous! - Sir, I don't think they'd be happy
with a relative barging into the station.
Although they might allow a visit from a priest.
Tell me about Mr Bishop.
Well, 30 years ago, I sacked him.
He worked at the hotel as a bellboy
and I found he was stealing from the guests' rooms.
You know, in the hotel industry, that's a mortal sin.
So, a man who bears a grudge on you walks in
when the hotel is in trouble.
Things aren't going very well, are they?
Uh, no. No, we are...
We are at rock-bottom. Ahem.
I've taken out loan after loan.
And if things don't improve, then the bank will take the hotel.
And that's why you invited Anderson's Guide to inspect?
Well, yes, one last roll of the dice.
Was anyone else upset at Mr Bishop's reappearance?
Well, I don't think Raymond was too delighted.
Of course, back in the day, they were great friends.
Cynthia, Raymond and Max.
I did used to think that Max got in the way a bit.
Were Mr and Mrs Wendle married at that point?
No. It was only after Max left that Raymond popped the question.
In fact, I wonder if Max didn't come back not to humiliate me,
but to seduce Cynthia.
- Why do you say that? - Well, yesterday,
when I was preparing the bouillabaisse,
I could hear Max and Raymond arguing.
Oh, Father. You've been a while. How is she?
Your aunt is bearing up.
Of course she is. She's strong as an ox.
She's very keen that we make this evening a success.
- I think it's more important we solve the murder. - Well,
perhaps by doing one, it will help us to do the other.
Right, Mrs Parkinson has left a to-do list.
- Would you like me to type it up? - No, Raymond.
You actually have to do something. What time is Mavis getting here?
Mavis left a note. She's resigned.
Oh, no!
Right, I've managed to sort those wonky tables out,
and we've swept all the floors.
Is there anything else we can do to help?
No. We're beyond help.
The best thing now would be to board up all the doors
and hang a condemned sign outside.
Hello. How are we getting on?
We're about to give up completely.
- What? - Cancelling this evening and telling Anderson's we're not ready.
You do realise my aunt has given 50 years of her life to this place?
Yes, but she's not here.
And it was always her hand on the tiller
that steered us through the rocks.
Mrs Parkinson has been your employer for 30 years.
I'm sure she hoped that if she had to step back,
you would step forward.
We also have a financial difficulty.
She's left a long ingredients list and no actual money.
- Fine! - I'll go down to the market.
- I'll come with you. - And I can service some rooms.
I have worked in hotels before.
- I can do some cooking. - Can I be your sous-chef?
I shall polish the silver.
I will assist.
- Am I right in saying you have worked here since the 1920s? - Mm-hm.
You and Cynthia and Max?
CUTLERY CLATTERS
- Sorry. - Allow me.
So what did you think when Max Bishop turned up again?
Mrs Parkinson seems to think he once had designs on your wife.
No! No, of course not.
- No? - No!
We were pals back then, the three of us, we were the...
Well, they were the happiest times of my life.
Yes, Max was sacked for stealing,
but not for...
CHUCKLES
Not for stealing my girlfriend.
You were overheard yesterday having an argument with Mr Bishop.
- Mm. - You said, and I quote, "Leave her alone.
"Please, just leave her alone."
Yes, I did. But I was not talking about Cynthia.
No?
When Max arrived,
he said some rather nasty things about Mrs Parkinson,
so I let him settle into his room, and when he came downstairs
I told him to stop. "Leave her alone."
What did he say to that?
He told me to face the facts - The Palace Hotel is doomed
and he's the only one who could save it.
And what do you think he meant?
I don't know. I told him I didn't want to hear it.
And if you'll excuse me, I need to go and find some fish forks.
Thank you, Miss Palmer. Most helpful.
Whoa.
Who could afford a room like this?
That is what we are here to find out.
Mr Bishop claimed he came here to save The Palace.
And I am keen to find out how.
What's this?
Oh.
Plans for the hotel.
Divided into eight flats.
So that's his game.
He's a property developer.
Look!
"Meet me at Brandreth Bay, nine o'clock."
That's the beach where they found him.
Was he killed by the person to whom he sent this note?
I should probably make the bed.
- The inspector'll come in here. - Good idea.
What's this?
Ah, yes.
I know whose ear that belongs to.
Right, here we are. Enough fish to start your own aquarium.
Oh, Edgar! You've saved the day. You always do.
Right, well, can I suggest, I'll read out the recipe,
and allocate jobs as I go.
No, Raymond. No.
Just no, Raymond.
Would you like to help me with the windows?
Yes. Yes, of course. Yes.
- Are you all right, Mrs Wendle? - Yes! Just a little bit stressed,
we've got this rather complicated bouillabaisse to make,
which means we have fish to fillet,
22 herbs and spices, and we haven't even started the stock yet.
That does seem a Herculean effort!
Yes, but if we want to get into the Anderson's Guide...
You might try making things people like to eat?
Oh.
Oh, yes, you're right!
We could change the menu.
Oh, fish pie! Everyone loves fish pie!
Mrs Wendle? May I have a word?
Yes.
I'm sorry, Father, but I'm really very busy.
Yes, I can see.
Must put an awful strain on your marriage.
Marriage? What's that? I used to be married once.
I mean, I do love Raymond, it's just we're married to the hotel.
I noticed you have separate rooms.
Well, yes.
Separate lives, actually.
Was it ever a happy marriage?
We were happy...
..before we were married. When it was just the three of us.
Me, Raymond and...Max.
Ah, yes.
Mr Bishop.
Did you notice, yesterday,
he was the last in to dinner?
Because I believe he was in the kitchen,
over-salting the bouillabaisse.
I think so.
But you took responsibility for his sabotage.
Which seems strange.
Unless you felt in some way responsible...?
I read the papers, you see,
and I knew Max had done very well for himself.
So I wrote and told him we were in trouble,
and was there any chance of a loan?
But it soon became clear he was not here to help?
He'd just come to humiliate us.
What did you do to stop him?
Nothing. I just tried to avoid him.
And yet...
..I found this.
By his bed.
- CHUCKLING: - All right...
When Raymond went round to speak with him,
I sneaked into his room, to look round.
I imagine you saw his plans
to turn the hotel into flats.
I did. And I was just staring at them, horrified.
And Max came in and grabbed me.
So that must be when I lost the earring.
- I see. - He said this place destroyed him
and now he's going to destroy it.
Do you know he used to steal from people's rooms?
Only small amounts, so no-one knew.
But Mrs Parkinson found out and she called the police.
I don't suppose you remember the name of the arresting officer?
What can I say? He was a wrong 'un,
but I made sure he suffered the full force of the law.
- Ah. - Except...
..I've spoken to Scotland Yard.
Max Bishop has no criminal record whatsoever.
So...you let him go,
but told everyone you'd charged him.
It was a long time ago, I don't exactly recall.
Mr Bishop remembered you vividly.
He asked after your wife and children.
I imagine, 30 years ago,
you had a young family
and not much money.
Perhaps we should talk to his senior officer, Father.
All right.
He did offer me a certain sum.
Believe me,
it was hard getting by on ๏ฟฝ5 a week.
You took a bribe from a criminal suspect?
Max said he'd leave town and never darken our doors again.
I really don't see what the harm was.
Sergeant Oldham, many people would say
that punishment can be a valuable life lesson.
A lesson you failed to teach Max Bishop.
Now, I think you've had more than enough time to question my aunt.
Well, that was the worst holiday I've ever had!
Auntie Pat, we need to have a talk.
No, I need to get back to the hotel.
Raymond and Cynthia, they can't make a decision without me.
I'll leave you two to talk.
Why didn't you tell me that the hotel was in difficulty?
It isn't. The Palace is a luxury ocean liner.
It just so happens that it's floating in a sea of mediocrity.
Yes, the suppliers have told me they think it could be about to sink.
Yes, well, things are a bit grim,
but I believe we're just about to turn a corner.
And I realise that I have been saying that for several years.
Yes. Yes, and you've been working yourself 18 hours a day.
Now, do you think that can be good for you?
If I didn't work, I wouldn't know what to do.
You know how hard it is to abandon a place
that you've loved and cherished for your whole life of 50 years.
And, besides, it means a lot to YOU.
- What do you mean? - You know what I mean.
Whenever your parents used to have a bit of difficulties,
then they got me to look after you.
At The Palace. It was home away from home.
Auntie Pat, it's not The Palace I care about.
It's just a pile of bricks and mortar
and some very comfortable bedding.
The woman who runs it,
I love her
and I rather worry that she's not looking after herself properly.
Well, um...
She's rather fond of you.
Edgar, I have no choice, I just have to keep going.
So will you kindly take me back to the luxury liner
before the management manage to sink it?
There you go! What do you think?
Oh, it's magnificent!
Oh! Have you thought about a career in interior design?
Oh, not really. Thank you, though.
If I spend one more moment in that kitchen, I think I'm going to melt.
- Agreed! - Oh!
Oh, this is extraordinary!
Oh, it feels like we've gone back in time to the glory days.
Oh, you've managed to get rid of all the mould, and the mess,
and our most annoying guest has kicked the bucket.
But don't mention any of that to the man from Anderson's!
Ahem!
Hello. And you are...?
Timothy Moon.
The man from Anderson's.
Mr Moon!
Mr Moon, please... Ha!
Please forgive my wife's peculiar sense of humour!
Well, I can forgive most things.
But what I do not appreciate is being made to wait at the station.
Where was Mrs Parkinson
who's been badgering me for the past six months?
- Mrs Parkinson? Um... Mrs Parkinson... - Not well.
Very, very not well.
Her glands have swollen up like...
- Watermelons. - That is quite enough about my glands.
- Hello. I'm Patricia Parkinson. - Timothy Moon.
Mr Moon, you would not believe the day that I've had.
Are you ready for the grand tour?
I must get my clipboard.
Well, you've certainly made some unexpected choices.
Yes, it's better than I expected. Thank you.
It is splendid.
Vol-au-vent?
Oh, well, we must leave some for the inspector, but...
Ah!
Raymond! Raymond!
- What is it, dear? - Why haven't you hung up that picture?
Because I'm in the middle of...!
All right, I'll do it. I'll do it.
..bringing us back to the dining room, which, tonight,
is the gateway for the Roaring Twenties.
Um, would sir care for a canape?
If I must.
Champagne?
Well, I wouldn't like to impair my critical faculties,
but just to be polite...
- Edgar. - Yes? - This is not lump fish roe.
- This is actual caviar. - Indeed.
Most palatable. I must say, it does go down nicely.
Oh, please! Do have another one.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome, one and all, to The Palace.
This hotel has been standing here for 70 years,
buffeted, of course, by waves and wind,
but able to survive the ravages of time.
- Mr Wendle? - Mm?
- Could you spare five minutes? - People ask why anyone would build a hotel
- right by the sea. - Yes.
But, of course, people like us like to live on the edge...
I was intrigued by the photograph of you both,
outside the hotel in 1953.
Your hair was much greyer then.
Would I be right in thinking that you use hair dye?
That is a very personal question, Father!
Well, yes.
But when they found Mr Bishop's body,
there was a dark stain on his temple.
Could that stain have been from hair dye,
from the person who buried him?
He sent you a note, didn't he?
"Meet me at Brandreth Bay, nine o'clock."
But why would you go?
What do you think you are doing?
We don't need you to save the hotel. We're perfectly happy as we are.
Raymond, I'm sorry if I've upset everyone.
I was angry at the way Mrs Parkinson treated me.
Were you perhaps hoping to turn back the clock?
What do you mean by that?
At first I thought Mr Bishop was having an affair with your wife.
But, no.
I suspect...
..not with her.
I don't like what you're implying.
Your wife confirmed that you have separate bedrooms,
separate lives.
And the champagne would suggest some sort of celebration.
Do you remember our midnight picnics on the beach?
Yes.
Lying in the sand dunes?
How could I forget?
You will help me, won't you, Raymond?
- Of course. - I knew you wouldn't let me down.
- You never did. - Max...
..I would do anything for you.
Do you really think
I would give a second look at a worn-out old worm like you?
- What? I... - You're going to help me destroy this place.
Or I will tell the whole world what you really are.
Including your sad, neglected, lonely little wife.
Mr Bishop
sought to use his power over you.
But things spiralled out of control, didn't they?
Now you had a new problem.
His body.
STRAINS
Luckily, some children had been digging a hole in the sand,
which was almost the right size.
DISTANT VOICES
I did not mean to kill him!
I would be the last person to condemn anyone for falling in love.
But in order to spare people's feelings,
you have been living your life in the shadows,
living a lie.
Which has not brought happiness to you
- or your wife. - Well...
What am I meant to do, then?
How do I get out of this mess?
There is one course of action,
which will, in time, bring you peace.
You must confess.
Ask for God's forgiveness and take the consequences of your actions.
Mr Moon, you really must try our famous bouillabaisse.
Is it really necessary?
Uh, well it's seasoned with 22 different herbs and spices.
- Is it indeed? - Cynthia. The bouillabaisse.
Actually, Mrs Parkinson,
we decided not to make bouillabaisse.
- What?! - We thought, rather than follow a hundred-year-old recipe,
that we would go to the market and see what was in season.
And what little delicacies did you find there?
Oh, scallops so fresh they fell out of their shells.
Silver mackerel. Pink lobster.
So we made a fish pie.
Here you go. Bon appetit!
Well, it does sound intriguing.
But the proof of the pudding...
Hmm...
Mrs Parkinson, from your description,
I expected this to be a dusty, fusty,
old-fashioned establishment.
But you've done wonders with this place!
Decor that lets the light in.
And the finest fish pie I've ever tasted!
Ah, well, yes, it's not one of my usual recipes...
This place is the future of British hospitality!
Welcome to Anderson's Hotel Guide!
Oh, wonderful, wonderful!
Aunt, congratulations!
We've got into the guide! Everything we've worked for,
- all these years! - That's wonderful, darling, but it's all down to you.
It's always been you and... I'm sorry I've been a bad husband.
- What do you mean? - Ahem!
Sergeant Oldham?
Yes, Mr Wendle?
There's something I need to confess.
Right, then! Ready for the off?
I think so.
Have you enjoyed your trip to the seaside?
Spent most of it with a feather duster in my hand, but...
..I do love this place!
Thank you for everything.
You must come and visit us in Kembleford.
I mean, I know you're busy with the hotel.
Ah, yes, well, that's rather likely to change.
- Oh, yes? - Yes.
Well, Mr Moon has written us such a glowing review
that I'm quite confident that The Palace will survive.
- Of course it will! - So therefore I have decided to step down,
and give the baton to Cynthia,
who I think you'll agree was more than capable.
Well, she learned from the best.
Right, ready to depart, Mrs Sullivan?
Oh, can't we just have one last trip to the beach?
Oh, that's good.
Oi!
Look at that duck over there.
What?
Yes!
LAUGHS
ALL LAUGH AND SHOUT
Do you know, I just have to say
that when I first suggested this trip,
it was meant to be just Isabel and I...
A mini-honeymoon, getting away from it all.
I know! I always seem to put my foot in it, but...
But - but - I do know that when I married Isabel,
I not only married her talents, her passions...
- ..but also her friends. - Aw!
And that makes me
the luckiest man in the world.
ALL LAUGH
- And, Auntie Pat...? - Yes?
I promise we will be back, just the two of us.
- But for now... - Yes?
..could you take a photograph of us all?
Yes! And I know just the place.
Everybody....say cheese!
ALL: Cheese!
