- Do you want a hand? - No, I'm all right. It's all right.

We do need... We do need to go quite soon.

All right.

How long have I got?

Well, we were supposed to be there 15 minutes ago.

Just pass them through.

Better take the head rests out.

Oh, my God.

They're going to blow out the... It's blowing out...

Now, you're going to lose that... You're going to lose them.

Quick! Quick!

No, no! No, no, no, no, no!

They've gone.

Yeah, they've gone.

I'm sorry about your balloons,

- but it's the thought that counts. - Yeah.

Yeah, but I needed that big 60 to make a point to

Steve about how old my mum is.

I think you need to be a bit more accepting. It's nice.

I wish my dad would find someone.

Steve's only a year older than me.

What's in it for him, eh?

Bet he's after her money!

He's got his own law firm, Leslie.

I think it's...romantic.

It's weird.

Your mum's happy. And if you really look at her,

she is foxy!

Shut up!

You're going to have to accept it, you've got a foxy mum.

Brand-new car.

Extravagant.

- It's nice. - There was nothing wrong with the old one.

Hey, kids! Dinner's nearly ready. Shoes off at the door.

That's your mum's rules, not mine.

Thanks, Steve.

Did you wash your hands?

Yes.

Here we go.

Happy...

Birthday! Thank you.

Cheers.

That's good wine!

What year is it?

Blimey! He's only had a sip, and he don't know what year it is!

- Bread, love? - No, thank you.

- I'm doing Paleo. - What's that?

Can't keep up with all you young 'uns!

It's basically where you eat like a caveman.

What, with your hands?!

- I love your new car, Sharon. - I know. Isn't he naughty?

I told him I didn't need a present.

It's just a little runaround, baby.

Guys, I'm trying to eat here!

How's the job search going, Leslie?

Really good. Lots of interesting avenues.

Listen, Steve might have an opportunity for you.

Yeah. Look,

your mother and I, we were talking and, well,

feel free to tell me to stick it, but

a pal of mine runs a very successful injury lawyers firm,

and they're looking for team managers.

- Managers? - Yeah.

No getting your hands dirty, phone bashing.

You manage a team and then you have weekly targets.

It's just that he doesn't have any management experience.

I can bypass all that. I'll get your foot in the door.

Can you go in Monday for an interview?

Sorry, Steve, what's the salary?

50, basic.

Fif...fifty grand?

Yeah, but with commission, you can double that in the first year.

Um, yeah.

Monday?

I'd have to cancel a few things, but,

yeah, go on, I can do Monday.

Have you got a suit?

Mum, you don't get to my age and not have a suit!

Is it the one you wore for your father's funeral?

- Yeah, still fits like a glove. - And that's the problem.

Should fit like a suit!

Listen, these guys are all about the look.

I'm going to lend you a suit and a pair of shoes.

Thank you... Thank you, Steve.

- Cheers, Steve. - Not at all.

The team leader has to look money

to be aspirational to their team.

- Money. - Yeah.

Well, Mum, if they're about like looking flash,

I need to borrow Dad's watch.

You couldn't look after some balloons.

I am not letting you have your father's watch.

You don't need it. You'll smash it, Leslie.

What, the interview or the watch?

Oh, yes!

Yes!

She's so funny, your mum!

she's got the energy of a woman half her age.

- You'd know all about that! - I really would!

Not eating your spuds, Les?

Make you big and strong.

I just think those injured-at-work companies are dodgy.

Don't they harass people on the phone?

Some of them do, but

what other chance have I got to earn that sort of money?

At this rate, our honeymoon's going to

be me and you camping, in the lounge.

It's just that you haven't really got any management experience.

Do you think they're going to know?

Steve said it's not about that,

it's about looking like one of them and fitting in.

Like, right suit, right shoes.

You know? All these years, it's been my clothes holding me back.

I was starting to think it was me.

- Yeah. - And you say I've got no management experience...

Well, somehow, I managed to steal that

from my mum's jewellery box.

Oh, my God! Your mum is going to kill you!

I'm going to have to MANAGE to never let her find out, aren't I?

Leslie?

Do you know that being a manager

isn't just saying "manage" loads of times?

Don't do that in the interview.

I'm sure I can MANAGE that!

Got a really good feeling about this, Jem.

I'm going to give it my best shot.

Great.

So, why should we give you the job, Leslie?

Because I excel

in challenges and tasks, punctuality, team building.

And if there was a difficulty in the office,

I'm not the sort of bloke that's going

to sit down and run away from it.

All right, then, Mr Winner... No, call me Leslie.

What would you do if there was a fire in the building?

Well, obviously, I'd get out as quickly as I could.

But I would not stop for my valuables.

Sorry, no, Rav, I would actually get my team out.

Weakest first...of the team, um... Women and children.

If there were women and children in my team.

There's no reason why there wouldn't be women in my team.

There wouldn't be children in my team.

I don't like children in my team.

Take a seat. Thank you.

Leslie, do you even know what a team manager does?

A team manager does everything else,

other than the things that a team manager doesn't do.

Where do you see yourself in five years?

Well, I see myself in your chair, interviewing the next Leslie.

Come on in. Thank you.

I'm Leslie Winner.

I'm a team manager.

Any questions for us? Hm, questions.

Well, firstly, where are the loos?

Secondly, what exactly do you do here?

So, what EXACTLY do you do here?

So, um, what exactly do YOU do here?

So, what exactly do you do here?

Yeah, I had one question, which was, what exactly

do you do HERE?

Yeah.

Yeah, I agree, actually. Any other questions?

Hi. I'm Leslie Winner. I'm here to see Rav Singh.

Oh, Mr Winner. He's expecting you.

Please, just take a seat.

OK, thank you.

Um, yeah, I'm sorry, Mr Winner.

They're running about ten minutes behind.

That's fine.

Yeah? All right.

Actually, um, could you tell me,

is there a shoe shop very near here?

Well, there's a few in town.

Um, how long does it take to walk into town?

Dunno, like, 15 minutes?

Ok.

- Thank you. - All right. Great.

Have you got those files?

I don't think he sent them over yet.

Are you sure?

I can double check for you.

- It's just I had Benson getting on to me earlier. - I know, I know.

- It should have been done yesterday. - It's ridiculous.

Check in that blue folder, there?

- That one there, yeah? - Yeah, yeah.

What the hell?!

- Hiya. - Hi, babe.

- Um, what shoes are you wearing? - Yeah, I know.

I left my shoes there. I'm wearing my slippers.

- You're what?! - It's all right. I'm colouring them in, though.

Oh, no!

They're running a bit behind.

How quickly could you get the shoes here?

Well, I've got to go to work.

Ok.

I suppose this will have to do.

- I've got to go. See you there, bye. - OK, see you later.

Yeah, so they fell all over the floor.

Who was in reception? Someone to see Rav?

Some weird rich guy, with a beigey gold watch.

You know, I think he stole my big marker pen.

You know that one that I use to sign the post?

My skin keeps breaking out. I swear it's stress.

Probably is. I get that.

- The phone don't stop ringing out there. - Yeah.

Have you seen Jade's Instagram?

Those pictures of her in Ibiza?

Yeah, they're from ten years ago.

They don't look like that any more.

Mate, Ibiza doesn't even look like that any more!

- Is that your natural hair colour? - No, it's dyed.

It's growing out now, though.

I need to get mine sorted out.

I've been trying to grow out my fringe for years.

Yeah, you need to take those vitamins to make it grow faster.

I can't remember which one it is, though.

I think it's like vitamin E.

Does that work?

I think so.

Do you know what makes your hair grow really fast?

- What? - Being pregnant.

- Really? Does it? - Yeah, I've heard so.

It seems a bit extreme.

- But I suppose. - Yeah.

I'd rather be bald!

Are you all right in there?

Water's coming under the door.

Hello?

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Linda?

Is that you?

Yeah.

I'm going to go and call the maintenance guy, all right?

Yeah, I'm going to come with you.

Leslie? Rav.

Thought you'd disappeared.

- Do you want to follow me? - Yeah, sure.

Just washed me hands.

I must say, you've come highly recommended.

Oh, thank you very much.

- So do you. - Oh, yeah?

What's Steve been saying, eh? All good, I hope!

just how you're...

...one of the good guys.

Oh, quite high...

Nice watch.

Oh, this?

Yeah. Vintage.

Yeah, yeah, quite old, yeah. Yeah, it was, um, Dad's.

Yeah.

Doors opening.

- Hey, mate. I'll see you tomorrow, yeah? - Yeah, sure.

So, how do you know Steve?

- Um, he's my mum's friend. - Oh, right.

He made it sound like you worked together before.

Oh, right, yeah, that's what I meant.

Yeah, he's, like, become part of the family. Right.

- Oh, sorry, one second, mate. - Yeah, um...

Do you want to take a seat?

So, welcome, Leslie.

- This company... - Yeah, so, I wanted to ask,

what exactly do you do here?

Yeah, sure. So, we've been running for about nine years now.

OK, I like it.

And tell me about the job.

Well, I mean, you know the score, motivate your team,

hit your targets.

Yeah, so, just standard team management stuff, then.

Yeah. Basically.

As long as people keep getting injured at work, we're all good.

So, what's your preferred management style?

Um, can you be more Pacific? Specific?

I mean, are you everyone's mate, or do you maintain a distance?

Well, I don't see it as a choice between carrot and stick.

I think it's a mixture.

So I will dangle my carrot, but if that's not working,

I will hit people with it.

Right.

Right, OK.

Erm, sorry. Excuse me one second.

So, why don't you tell me a bit more about yourself, Leslie?

Well, Rav, I'm not a human being.

I'm a human doing.

And if I was manager here,

I'd see my main task as filling

this entire building with human doings.

Yeah, yeah...

- I like the way you think, Leslie. - So do I.

It's a shame the boss isn't in. You and him would really vibe.

He's one of Steve's mates, too.

- Good old Steve! - Yeah.

Butterfingers...

Yeah, he's really happy with this new girlfriend, you know?

He so deserves it. Not had much luck with the women, has he?

He's too nice.

People take advantage.

Have you met the lucky lady?

Yeah, I have. A few times. Yeah.

He's always liked the older woman.

Yeah. Says they have a lifetime of experience.

- If you know what I mean! - Well, I wouldn't...

Apparently, him and Sharon

have a lot of fun, for hours at a time!

Ok!

Just happy for him.

- Did you say he was friends with your mum? - Yep.

Is Sharon your mum?

Yep.

- Oh, no. I'm really sorry. - Yeah. It's fine.

It's not. I can't believe I've just said that.

I still want the job.

Do you want a coffee?

I'm going to get a coffee.

Yes, please. Cool.

Look, I'll be back in a min, then I'll give you a tour.

- I'm really sorry for... - Easy-peasy.

How do you like your coffee?

- Milk, two sugars? - Awesome.

All right?

Leslie!

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Cheers, babe. Saved my life.

I'm late for work. How's it going?

Really good, although he's just been telling me

about what Steve and my mum get up to.

- Really? - Yeah.

He feels terrible, so it can only work in my favour.

OK. Bye.

- Love you. - Love you.

- Good luck. - Thank you.

- I'm so sorry! - Can you...? Sorry!

Here we go.

Easily done!

There you go.

Looking busy!

Yeah. There you go. All right?

There you go. All right? I'm so sorry. I've just got to go.

I'm in such a rush.

- Hold the lift. - So sorry.

- Hold the lift! - I'm so sorry.

Doors closing.

Doors opening.

Doors closing.

Doors opening.

Here we are.

I got us some biscuits.

You can have a chocolate one.

Yeah, thanks.

You all right?

Yeah, fine.

Look, Leslie, this is all kind of a formality, really.

You know, Steve's a good mate of mine,

and I think we can move quite quickly on this,

- if you still want the job. - Yeah, I still want it.

Um, just to clarify, the money...

Steve said it would be 50...grand?

Yeah, that's right.

Basic is 50,000, but you'll easily double that

when you hit your targets.

- Good. - Yeah? Is that all right?

Yeah. That's...fine.

- Basic. - Cool.

Well, I'd love for you to take the position.

- Great stuff! - Yes, um, basically,

if you just sign this and that's it,

you're officially an employee. You know, we'll get moving

on the particulars of your contract right away.

All right. Yeah. Just...?

Yeah. OK.

It's a shame the boss isn't in,

we could have got you signed off today.

- Yeah. - Oh, hang on. There's Tess. She can do it.

Tess, can you just come here for a sec?

Do you mind approving a new hire?

Is it the 15th?

- It is, yeah. - I've got it right.

There you go. Cheers.

Yeah, cheers.

Hello.

Hello.

So, what have they said?

Well, it was a pretty major workplace injury.

The doctor reckons I'll be in for a hefty pay-out.

He says I'll be laughing...and sometimes blacking out,

all the way to the bank.

I'm just glad you're all right. You ARE all right, aren't you?

Yeah, they did loads of tests on me.

Listen, babe, we can afford a honeymoon now.

That's good, I suppose.

But that's Steve's mate's company.

Isn't it going to be awkward now with him and your mum?

It was pretty awkward anyway.

Yeah, I suppose.

Where are you, anyway? When are you coming back?

Soon. I've just got to do one thing and then I'll be home.

- OK, see you in a bit. - All right, see you, bye.

Cheers for the loan, Dad.

Not really my style.

You saucepot!

- You did your best! - He got flattened by a door!

Yeah, well, give them a taste of their own medicine, eh?

Still, Leslie hasn't got long to sort his life out.

Well, baby, we've got all the time in the world.
