1
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:14,340
A fine romance with no kisses.

2
00:00:14,900 --> 00:00:21,440
A fine romance, my friend, this is. They
think we're like a

3
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,300
couple of hot tomatoes.

4
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:28,140
But we're as cold as yesterday's mash
for tacos.

5
00:00:47,310 --> 00:00:48,650
This is a fine romance.

6
00:01:06,990 --> 00:01:07,990
There!

7
00:01:09,130 --> 00:01:10,130
Oh, thanks.

8
00:01:10,890 --> 00:01:12,450
I can never find the cue.

9
00:01:12,710 --> 00:01:13,710
I've noticed.

10
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:26,640
Where is he? There!

11
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,260
I didn't want the queue that time.

12
00:01:31,980 --> 00:01:35,700
Now she'll have to start all over again.
No, no, no, no. There's no need. Look.

13
00:01:37,980 --> 00:01:38,980
Just get this.

14
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:42,820
Paint it on like that.

15
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:45,860
Line it up and type the right letter
over it.

16
00:01:46,180 --> 00:01:47,180
No,

17
00:01:47,320 --> 00:01:48,320
no, wait till it dries.

18
00:01:51,900 --> 00:01:52,900
It's clever, that.

19
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:54,600
Yes.

20
00:02:03,210 --> 00:02:05,010
Do you think it's dry, Barbara? Let me
do the letter for you. No, no, no.

21
00:02:05,570 --> 00:02:07,190
Do you think it's dry? I'm sure it is.

22
00:02:12,210 --> 00:02:13,210
Oh,

23
00:02:22,730 --> 00:02:23,730
this is awful.

24
00:02:23,970 --> 00:02:25,270
Why, what's the matter? It's not the
tap.

25
00:02:25,750 --> 00:02:27,510
It's the pauses between the taps.

26
00:02:28,390 --> 00:02:30,030
It's like a Chinese water torture.

27
00:02:30,350 --> 00:02:32,470
Oh, yeah, well, I never learned
properly, you see.

28
00:02:32,780 --> 00:02:33,780
Yes.

29
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,480
Do you type all your business
correspondence?

30
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:36,800
Yes, most of it.

31
00:02:36,940 --> 00:02:39,000
It just looks so much better, doesn't
it?

32
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:40,840
Yes.

33
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:47,280
Mike. Hmm? Now, don't get me wrong,
don't think I'm interfering, but I get a

34
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,700
of extra time now and again. I mean, why
don't I come round to your office and I

35
00:02:50,700 --> 00:02:51,700
could type that for you?

36
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:53,019
Slightly quicker.

37
00:02:53,020 --> 00:02:54,020
Nope.

38
00:02:54,100 --> 00:02:55,019
Well, why not?

39
00:02:55,020 --> 00:02:58,180
Well, you know what my office is like,
don't you? It's not exactly salubrious,

40
00:02:58,180 --> 00:02:58,659
is it?

41
00:02:58,660 --> 00:03:00,180
And I've only got a paraffin heater.

42
00:03:00,860 --> 00:03:02,220
I wear my thermal underwear.

43
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:04,440
So?

44
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,820
You know, it would do no harm to have
somebody there most of the day when

45
00:03:07,820 --> 00:03:11,780
out, just to answer the phone call. That
answering machine of yours only answers

46
00:03:11,780 --> 00:03:12,900
when it feels like it.

47
00:03:13,620 --> 00:03:15,580
Well, what about your own work? I bring
it with me.

48
00:03:16,620 --> 00:03:17,620
No.

49
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:19,080
Well, why not?

50
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:21,560
You know it makes sense.

51
00:03:22,820 --> 00:03:23,920
I couldn't pay you much.

52
00:03:24,260 --> 00:03:26,880
Well, he's talking about paying. I
didn't say anything about paying. You

53
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,680
pay me for burning your shirt.

54
00:03:31,020 --> 00:03:31,939
Well, that's different.

55
00:03:31,940 --> 00:03:38,820
It isn't. Good heavens, Mike, we're...
We're... It does no harm to

56
00:03:38,820 --> 00:03:40,120
help one another now and again.

57
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,340
Well, I don't help you at all. You do.

58
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,040
How? You just do.

59
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:47,120
Please, Mike.

60
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,160
Well, just for a couple of hours, every
now and then.

61
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,000
I'll stop tomorrow.

62
00:04:01,420 --> 00:04:02,800
Bill, she's coming round tomorrow.

63
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:04,800
Just for a couple of hours.

64
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:09,320
Well, it makes sense, doesn't it?

65
00:04:10,500 --> 00:04:15,160
Don't just sit there going... Say
something. I'm saying something. What?

66
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:20,500
saying... She'll start organising
things, don't you?

67
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:21,720
I didn't say that.

68
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:23,440
She'll start interfering.

69
00:04:23,860 --> 00:04:24,860
I didn't say that either.

70
00:04:25,060 --> 00:04:27,840
Well, what are you saying? Nothing.
You're saying it for me. No, I'm not.

71
00:04:28,060 --> 00:04:30,060
Look, Mike, I've got nothing against
Laura.

72
00:04:30,660 --> 00:04:32,120
She's... Bright, intelligent.

73
00:04:32,700 --> 00:04:36,240
But once she's got her teeth into
something, she's also like a very small,

74
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:37,520
determined bull terrier.

75
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,460
She'll have pretty little curtains up at
your shed windows next.

76
00:04:40,700 --> 00:04:41,760
She's already done that.

77
00:04:43,060 --> 00:04:45,280
Ask not to know for whom the bell tolls.

78
00:04:49,420 --> 00:04:51,280
What have you two been talking about?

79
00:04:51,620 --> 00:04:52,620
Er, football.

80
00:04:52,840 --> 00:04:55,380
You? Er, netball.

81
00:04:55,660 --> 00:04:56,660
Oh.

82
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,500
No, well, actually, what we've been
talking about...

83
00:05:00,910 --> 00:05:02,310
Don't kick me under the table, Helen.

84
00:05:03,290 --> 00:05:04,290
It's furniture.

85
00:05:04,750 --> 00:05:06,330
Oh. Office furniture. Furniture.

86
00:05:06,870 --> 00:05:08,650
Not my office. No, Phil's.

87
00:05:09,470 --> 00:05:13,150
I was wondering whether you could steer
any bits that aren't being used Mike's

88
00:05:13,150 --> 00:05:14,150
way.

89
00:05:14,230 --> 00:05:17,230
You want me to steal some of our office
furniture to give to Mike?

90
00:05:17,690 --> 00:05:18,730
Steal? Steal.

91
00:05:19,310 --> 00:05:21,230
Steal. You went to a good school, too.

92
00:05:21,510 --> 00:05:23,850
Well, it's done all the time, isn't it?
I mean, you buy somebody a drink and

93
00:05:23,850 --> 00:05:26,410
they do you a favour. That's how big
business works. We're not talking about

94
00:05:26,410 --> 00:05:29,650
business. You want me to steal some of
our office furniture? Steal.

95
00:05:30,050 --> 00:05:31,860
No. Look, I don't know what you're
talking about.

96
00:05:32,140 --> 00:05:33,560
I've got office furniture.

97
00:05:33,940 --> 00:05:38,560
I know, but it's not over smart, is it?
Well, I'm running a landscape garden.

98
00:05:38,580 --> 00:05:39,900
It's not the design centre.

99
00:05:40,260 --> 00:05:43,420
Well, I know that, but your office is
the first thing people see and there's

100
00:05:43,420 --> 00:05:45,400
harm in creating a good first
impression, is there?

101
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:46,600
Yeah, I agree with that.

102
00:05:46,660 --> 00:05:51,180
You know, before we were married, when
Helen was still my secretary, I cited

103
00:05:51,180 --> 00:05:54,060
death so that she was the first thing
people saw when they came in.

104
00:05:54,660 --> 00:05:57,160
I thought you said the light was better
in that corner.

105
00:05:57,780 --> 00:05:58,780
Well, that's what I said.

106
00:06:00,010 --> 00:06:01,810
They came in, you see, and there she
was.

107
00:06:02,110 --> 00:06:04,950
Nice smile, nice legs. Put them in a
good mood straight away.

108
00:06:05,210 --> 00:06:06,450
Look, you've gone right off the subject.

109
00:06:06,870 --> 00:06:07,990
I miss miniskirts.

110
00:06:10,670 --> 00:06:13,670
And the subject you've gone off is
whether you could steer some of your

111
00:06:13,670 --> 00:06:17,950
furniture Mike's way. I do not want Phil
to steer anything my way. I'm all

112
00:06:17,950 --> 00:06:18,649
right, right?

113
00:06:18,650 --> 00:06:20,890
You're just stubborn. I wasn't a good
secretary then.

114
00:06:21,350 --> 00:06:25,090
What? I mean, basically, I was just a
smile and a pair of legs.

115
00:06:25,370 --> 00:06:28,700
No. It's a wonder you didn't have me
dress up as a bunny girl and I've done

116
00:06:28,700 --> 00:06:31,820
you. Well, love, I rated you very
highly. You are very efficient, too.

117
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:33,820
Too? Too? You hear the too?

118
00:06:34,180 --> 00:06:37,300
I wonder whether they'll ever come back,
miniskirt.

119
00:06:38,860 --> 00:06:40,880
Look at you three. You've just gone
rambling off.

120
00:06:41,780 --> 00:06:43,340
Now, whose turn is it for a round?

121
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:44,680
Yours.

122
00:06:48,840 --> 00:06:49,840
I'm sorry about that.

123
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,340
Well, I did warn you. About what? Your
sister.

124
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,850
You don't have to warn anybody about
my... My sister, she's not a dangerous

125
00:06:55,850 --> 00:06:59,650
animal. I was very impressed by your
typing before I even set eyes on you.

126
00:06:59,650 --> 00:07:01,470
did you know it was my typing?

127
00:07:03,490 --> 00:07:05,390
Duck. Yes, duck.

128
00:07:14,470 --> 00:07:18,050
You know, I've just been thinking.

129
00:07:18,990 --> 00:07:20,330
Well, not about office furniture.

130
00:07:20,730 --> 00:07:21,730
No.

131
00:07:25,290 --> 00:07:29,430
smells in all the world is a new -mown
lawn after light rain has been falling

132
00:07:29,430 --> 00:07:31,110
it. You've only got a window box.

133
00:07:33,710 --> 00:07:34,710
I know.

134
00:07:35,290 --> 00:07:36,370
We've got a lawn.

135
00:07:37,290 --> 00:07:38,290
I know.

136
00:07:38,850 --> 00:07:40,390
And most of it's paved over.

137
00:07:41,230 --> 00:07:42,370
I know. Ah, look.

138
00:07:42,710 --> 00:07:44,850
I work for people when they ask.

139
00:07:45,170 --> 00:07:49,010
I do not go around altering people's
gardens against their will. I know.

140
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:02,380
I should start too early.

141
00:08:03,860 --> 00:08:04,860
Well, you do.

142
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,040
I won't when business starts booming.

143
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,660
Has it ever boomed? Oh, it's popped a
couple of times.

144
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:18,840
But when it really does start booming,
then I will come in at 11 o 'clock,

145
00:08:18,980 --> 00:08:25,940
in the daimler, pick up a handful of
tenors, knock the workforce about a

146
00:08:25,940 --> 00:08:28,980
bit, and tootle off for a game of golf.

Selway Landscape Gardening. Mike Selway
speaking.

149
00:08:45,560 --> 00:08:46,720
You're not supposed to hear that bit.

150
00:08:47,060 --> 00:08:51,020
There's nobody in the office at the
moment, but if you'd like to leave a

151
00:08:51,020 --> 00:08:52,120
message, please...

152
00:09:14,670 --> 00:09:16,070
those before you get the day, will I,
won't you?

153
00:09:18,170 --> 00:09:19,170
I won't have to.

154
00:09:19,910 --> 00:09:21,750
I'll have a battery of secretaries.

155
00:09:22,830 --> 00:09:27,890
Well, in the meantime... Yes, in the
meantime...

156
00:09:27,890 --> 00:09:33,410
Oh,

157
00:09:38,450 --> 00:09:42,890
it's Charlie, you see. I don't want him
to think I spend every night at your

158
00:09:42,890 --> 00:09:43,890
place.

159
00:09:49,580 --> 00:09:51,460
Would you like a heater on? No, no, no,
I'm fine.

160
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,220
You know what to say, don't you?

161
00:09:57,500 --> 00:09:59,300
Yes, we drafted the replies last night.

162
00:09:59,540 --> 00:10:01,620
But you won't add anything, will you?

163
00:10:02,860 --> 00:10:07,080
What do you need the gardening book for?

164
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,620
Well, it is a landscape garden, isn't
it?

165
00:10:10,260 --> 00:10:12,920
I mean, if somebody rings up when you're
out, I don't want to let them think

166
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:14,740
they're talking to somebody who only
owns the window box.

167
00:10:15,780 --> 00:10:17,660
So if they happen to mention, say...

168
00:10:18,250 --> 00:10:21,170
Sweet pea, I look up the index and I
say... Latheris odoratus.

169
00:10:21,730 --> 00:10:25,270
What? Latheris odoratus. Latheris
odoratus, as we call them in the trade.

170
00:10:25,610 --> 00:10:27,890
And then they think they're on to
somebody who knows what they're talking

171
00:10:28,670 --> 00:10:32,210
Look, I just wish you'd take the
message. That's all I wanted to do,

172
00:10:32,210 --> 00:10:34,610
know you said, but there's no harm in
giving the impression that we're all on

173
00:10:34,610 --> 00:10:36,630
our toes from the managing director to
the tea lady.

174
00:10:37,230 --> 00:10:38,470
Well, we haven't got a tea lady.

175
00:10:39,250 --> 00:10:40,250
They don't know that.

176
00:10:40,630 --> 00:10:41,630
No.

177
00:10:42,370 --> 00:10:43,450
Oh, well, uh...

178
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,000
Oh, you know where the tea things are,
don't you?

179
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:53,280
Yes, thank you.

180
00:10:54,340 --> 00:10:55,640
I shouldn't stay very long.

181
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,660
Only a couple of hours. An hour, maybe.

182
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:03,240
Oh, you've got the telephone number
where I'm working, just in case anything

183
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,400
crops up. Will you stop treating me as
if you're leaving me to play with your

184
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:06,400
best train set?

185
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,320
I won't lock the wheels off, and I'll
put it back in the box when I've

186
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:13,080
Yes, good.

187
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:14,440
Cheerio, then. Cheerio.

188
00:11:33,070 --> 00:11:34,070
Sorry, sir.

189
00:11:34,950 --> 00:11:35,950
Cheerio.

190
00:11:36,830 --> 00:11:37,830
Cheerio.

191
00:11:52,710 --> 00:11:53,710
Hello?

192
00:11:54,310 --> 00:11:56,250
Could I speak to Mr Carabidakis, please?

193
00:11:57,090 --> 00:11:58,090
Thank you.

194
00:12:00,450 --> 00:12:01,450
Andrea?

195
00:12:05,070 --> 00:12:06,070
No, Dalton.

196
00:12:07,370 --> 00:12:10,350
And is Maria well?

197
00:12:11,170 --> 00:12:12,170
Good, good.

198
00:12:13,830 --> 00:12:18,030
No, no, I don't want work at the moment.
Well, not translating work, that is.

199
00:12:18,150 --> 00:12:22,210
No, it's just this. Andreas, you have a
nice big garden, haven't you?

200
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,840
Thank you, Mr Barker, please. I'm Mrs
Barker. Oh, how do you do?

201
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:51,279
I'm Cherry.

202
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:52,380
Oh, hello.

203
00:12:53,580 --> 00:12:56,240
Phil has somebody with him at the
moment. Oh, don't worry, I'll wait.

204
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:57,279
Are you sure?

205
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:58,280
Yes, no bother.

206
00:13:27,849 --> 00:13:30,710
Good. And there'll be a group in it, all
right? I'll ring you back.

207
00:13:30,930 --> 00:13:31,930
All right, thanks. Bye.

208
00:13:32,010 --> 00:13:33,010
Hello,

209
00:13:35,610 --> 00:13:37,070
love. What are you doing here? Oh,
shopping.

210
00:13:37,470 --> 00:13:40,710
You should have said. Oh, don't worry.
Cherry's been looking after me. Oh,

211
00:13:41,390 --> 00:13:42,390
Come on in.

212
00:13:49,810 --> 00:13:50,810
Cherry's very pretty.

213
00:13:52,010 --> 00:13:53,010
Yeah, she's all right.

214
00:13:54,390 --> 00:13:55,650
Do you always call yourself...

215
00:13:57,750 --> 00:13:58,750
Yeah. Oh.

216
00:13:59,730 --> 00:14:00,709
Well, so did you.

217
00:14:00,710 --> 00:14:01,710
Well, not straight away.

218
00:14:02,070 --> 00:14:03,230
Well, she's been here a year.

219
00:14:06,670 --> 00:14:08,770
You just came up here to take a look at
her, didn't you?

220
00:14:09,090 --> 00:14:10,870
No. No, I didn't.

221
00:14:11,270 --> 00:14:15,090
No, the thing is, I go past Mike's
office on the way home, so I thought I'd

222
00:14:15,090 --> 00:14:16,090
in here first.

223
00:14:16,470 --> 00:14:18,930
These two things are connected in some
way, aren't they? Oh, yes.

224
00:14:19,170 --> 00:14:21,870
How? Well, I've been thinking.

225
00:14:22,490 --> 00:14:25,830
When you come down to it, there's all
too little green left in the world,

226
00:14:25,830 --> 00:14:26,830
there?

227
00:14:30,060 --> 00:14:34,460
Would it be such a bad idea if we had
Mike take up the paving stones and make

228
00:14:34,460 --> 00:14:35,460
the lawn bigger?

229
00:14:36,660 --> 00:14:39,480
Laura's been at you again, hasn't she?
Well, she might have mentioned it.

230
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,180
She should open a brainwashing school
somewhere.

231
00:14:43,140 --> 00:14:44,740
She is right, though, isn't she?

232
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,420
Well, I suppose at the end of the day,
yeah, she was going to help Mike.

233
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:50,800
Hello,

234
00:14:51,260 --> 00:14:52,260
Phil Barker.

235
00:14:52,540 --> 00:14:53,620
Eric. Yes.

236
00:14:54,460 --> 00:14:55,460
You can?

237
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:56,720
Good man.

238
00:14:57,260 --> 00:14:58,260
Don't worry, I'll swing that.

239
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:00,920
Yes, and, uh... I won't forget the
drink, okay?

240
00:15:01,460 --> 00:15:02,460
Okay, thanks, bye.

241
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,620
Another multi -million dollar deal?

242
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:06,040
Not exactly.

243
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,720
I've just arranged to steer some office
furniture Mike's way.

244
00:15:11,860 --> 00:15:13,660
Laura? Laura.

245
00:15:37,900 --> 00:15:38,799
Here, Mike.

246
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:39,800
All done.

247
00:15:40,460 --> 00:15:42,420
Train set, put neatly away.

248
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,800
See you tonight, love, Laura.

249
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:14,220
Oh, yes, yes, please do.

250
00:16:18,620 --> 00:16:23,420
Look, I'll come straight to the point.

251
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,520
Phil and I would like you to do our lawn
for us.

252
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:28,440
Professionally, of course.

253
00:16:28,500 --> 00:16:33,240
Why? Well, when you come right down to
it, there's all too little green left in

254
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:34,880
the world, isn't there? You didn't say
that.

255
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,140
Yes, I did. I just heard myself.

256
00:16:37,660 --> 00:16:38,820
That's Laura's line.

257
00:16:39,100 --> 00:16:41,780
Well, she is right, isn't she? She
doesn't care about green.

258
00:16:42,350 --> 00:16:43,650
She just wants to get me work.

259
00:16:43,970 --> 00:16:45,290
Well, is that such a bad thing?

260
00:16:46,050 --> 00:16:47,290
Oh, no, I suppose not.

261
00:16:47,510 --> 00:16:50,230
So take it, Mike. We honestly want it
done.

262
00:16:51,950 --> 00:16:53,450
She wants to help, Mike.

263
00:16:53,890 --> 00:16:56,050
She hasn't had anyone to help for a long
time.

264
00:16:57,570 --> 00:16:58,570
Please, Mike.

265
00:16:59,310 --> 00:17:00,310
Well, all right.

266
00:17:01,470 --> 00:17:06,829
I'm not being ungracious. Well, possibly
I am, but I don't mean to be. It's just

267
00:17:06,829 --> 00:17:09,410
that I feel crowded. That's OK.

268
00:17:12,970 --> 00:17:13,970
That's not one of my deliveries.

269
00:17:14,250 --> 00:17:16,869
No. No, I think I know what that is,
actually.

270
00:17:17,150 --> 00:17:20,869
What? Well, Laura was right. First
impressions are important.

271
00:17:21,829 --> 00:17:22,829
Shut it up.

272
00:17:24,030 --> 00:17:25,210
Mr. Selway? Yes?

273
00:17:25,569 --> 00:17:26,569
You're afraid of death.

274
00:17:51,780 --> 00:17:52,780
Cooking.

275
00:17:55,060 --> 00:17:57,040
Can't help feeling sorry for the
shepherd, can you?

276
00:18:01,260 --> 00:18:04,820
You just had to, didn't you? You just
had to.

277
00:18:05,100 --> 00:18:09,860
What? I no sooner got back to the office
than I was visited in quick succession

278
00:18:09,860 --> 00:18:11,420
by two charity organisations.

279
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:14,400
Talking about the...

280
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,180
Would you please do our garden, though
we don't really want it done, Charity?

281
00:18:18,180 --> 00:18:21,760
And I'm sorry, we can't take the
furniture back now because Eric has

282
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:23,320
fiddled the inventory, Charity.

283
00:18:24,820 --> 00:18:26,800
Phil didn't send you any old rubbish,
did he?

284
00:18:27,260 --> 00:18:28,980
No, it's very nice.

285
00:18:29,260 --> 00:18:31,680
Oh, that's all right, then. It is not
all right.

286
00:18:32,360 --> 00:18:34,460
I thought I told you to leave those two
alone.

287
00:18:35,380 --> 00:18:39,040
Well, I only gave them a call and gave
them a gentle reminder from your office,

288
00:18:39,100 --> 00:18:39,819
that's all.

289
00:18:39,820 --> 00:18:41,360
How many times did you phone them?

290
00:18:41,620 --> 00:18:42,620
Only five or six.

291
00:18:47,150 --> 00:18:50,790
few other calls while I was at it. You
did what? Now, don't start.

292
00:18:51,010 --> 00:18:52,010
It was nobody you knew.

293
00:18:52,790 --> 00:18:56,430
I just phoned a few people that I'd done
translations for and asked them if

294
00:18:56,430 --> 00:18:58,190
they'd like to avail themselves of your
services.

295
00:18:58,430 --> 00:19:00,750
Not all of them said yes, but three did.
Three jobs.

296
00:19:01,330 --> 00:19:03,910
I suppose you walked home carrying a
sandwich board.

297
00:19:06,110 --> 00:19:07,690
Now, Mr.

298
00:19:08,010 --> 00:19:09,670
Calabaracus wants a whole lawn, Rita.

299
00:19:10,690 --> 00:19:14,650
Mr. and Mrs. Palmer have decided on a
patio, and Mr. de Jong wants some

300
00:19:14,650 --> 00:19:17,840
cleared. You'll like Mr. Carabidakis.
He's got the jolly face.

301
00:19:20,820 --> 00:19:24,300
And I'm not ringing back to tell them
you've changed your mind. What mind is

302
00:19:24,300 --> 00:19:25,300
that?

303
00:19:25,660 --> 00:19:26,660
Oh, Mike.

304
00:19:28,620 --> 00:19:32,220
Well, this... This Mr.

305
00:19:32,540 --> 00:19:33,540
Carab, what's it?

306
00:19:33,580 --> 00:19:36,120
Darkis. Yes, him and the others.

307
00:19:36,940 --> 00:19:38,340
You didn't blackmail him.

308
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:39,600
Of course not.

309
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:41,420
Didn't use any physical violence.

310
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,720
I just told them how good you were at
your job. You don't really know that.

311
00:19:45,780 --> 00:19:46,699
I do.

312
00:19:46,700 --> 00:19:49,580
You just don't sell yourself properly,
that's all. Oh, I don't have to. You're

313
00:19:49,580 --> 00:19:50,580
doing it for me.

314
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:52,340
But you won't say no to the jobs.

315
00:19:53,220 --> 00:19:55,040
Why is this so important to you?

316
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:58,440
It just is.

317
00:20:03,940 --> 00:20:08,320
Ah, well, who do I start blinding with
science first? Mr. Carrad, what's it?

318
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,260
Well, I thought Mr. Carrad would ask it
first because I phoned him first. So I

319
00:20:11,260 --> 00:20:12,320
looked in your desk diary.

320
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,880
and I put down Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday of next week. Is that all

321
00:20:16,180 --> 00:20:17,180
Yes, that's fine.

322
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,740
And you didn't mind me looking at your
desk diary?

323
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:21,980
No. So who's next?

324
00:20:22,300 --> 00:20:24,900
Mr and Mrs Palmer on Tuesday and Mr de
Jong on Wednesday.

325
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:32,960
You mean Monday for one job, Tuesday for
another job, and Wednesday for the

326
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:33,960
third job?

327
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:39,420
Do you really seriously expect me to re
-turf a lawn in one day?

328
00:20:40,980 --> 00:20:41,980
Oh.

329
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:45,400
what do you think I do?

330
00:20:45,940 --> 00:20:49,060
Arrive with it like a carpet, unroll it,
pack it down and go home.

331
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:55,800
I've got to take up the existing one,
dig it, level it, get it down to a tilt.

332
00:20:56,360 --> 00:20:59,380
What's a tilt? Why don't you look it up
in your gardening book?

333
00:21:01,360 --> 00:21:04,080
And this woodland that I'm supposed to
clear in one day.

334
00:21:05,940 --> 00:21:07,300
What is it, Epping Forest?

335
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:21,500
It's just me and a chainsaw, not a gang
of lumberjacks.

336
00:21:22,660 --> 00:21:25,000
But where did you leave your brains this
morning?

337
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:28,500
I got carried away.

338
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,980
Don't snivel. I'm not snivelling, I'm
sniffing.

339
00:21:46,250 --> 00:21:50,170
Well, I'll give them a ring first thing
in the morning and tell them that you're

340
00:21:50,170 --> 00:21:51,350
an escaped lunatic.

341
00:21:54,590 --> 00:21:58,850
And see if they won't accept something a
little less superhuman.

342
00:22:00,150 --> 00:22:01,210
I'll be at your pool.

343
00:22:03,930 --> 00:22:06,450
I'll bet the potato in the shepherd's
pie is lumpy as well.

344
00:22:13,350 --> 00:22:14,430
Oh, I'll cheer up.

345
00:22:15,990 --> 00:22:17,050
It's not a complete disaster.

346
00:22:17,650 --> 00:22:19,750
I was only trying to help, Mike. Yes, I
know.

347
00:22:20,770 --> 00:22:21,830
Well, I'll never do it again.

348
00:22:22,070 --> 00:22:24,570
Oh, yes, you will. No, I promise, I
won't. No, I mean I wanted to.

349
00:22:25,690 --> 00:22:26,890
You're just saying that.

350
00:22:27,130 --> 00:22:28,049
No.

351
00:22:28,050 --> 00:22:33,350
I mean, you know my business. It's backs
to the wall. And if from time to time

352
00:22:33,350 --> 00:22:37,550
you're backwards to the wall with mine,
well, I might rather like that.

353
00:22:41,110 --> 00:22:43,830
Are you doing anything tomorrow?

354
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:46,940
Now, why? Do you want me to do some
typing?

355
00:22:47,940 --> 00:22:49,780
No, not exactly.

356
00:22:50,700 --> 00:22:51,700
Well, what?

357
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:57,120
Well, um... What?

358
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:06,180
Lovely time of the day.

359
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,280
Not like six in the morning, is it?

360
00:23:19,210 --> 00:23:20,210
The bottom up.

361
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:40,920
This is a fine rumor.
