-If we buy all the
manufactured parts,

we're going to have a monopoly.

I've been working on this forfour weeks, day and night.

My wife has left me over it.

But it's been worth it.

-Yeah.

-I've got Ms. Nolan on the line.

-Oh, hi, Ms. Nolan.

-Greenstock.

All one word.

-Quoting.

Oh, incidentally,
Francis was just--

-Forget about Francis.

Get me some detail
on Greenstock.

-Greenstock.

You've got to share price it.

-Yeah.

I've 34.5

-Got a share price of 34.5.

-What are the
earnings per share?

-2.2.

-That gives them
a P ratio of 15.5.

-15.5.

-Dig up everythingyou've got on Greenstock.

They're ripe for takeover.

I've got another
meeting, and I'll

be back in the office at 10:00.

-Oh, and happy birthday.

Happy birthday, she's gone.

Sorry about that, Francis.

Next quarter, hey?

-Right.

-Wait here.

Good morning, Doctor.

He's come around
quicker every year.

-Ms. Nolan.

-My checkups.

That's why I'm here, isn't it?

-No.

Please-- um, Ms. Nolan, please.

Oh, look.

I'm sorry to do this to
you on your birthday,

but I've had a call from
the fertility clinic

about your eggs.

-Oh, no.

I have got a lot further to gobefore-- that was the point.

Eggs frozen at the peak of
perfection, ready to use

when the time is right.

-Apparently,
there's been a fire.

-A fire?

Well, what about my eggs?

-All the eggs were destroyed.

-Well, I'll freeze some more.

I've got loads of time.

-Ms. Nolan, look, please.

Just look at this graph.

See the fertility age.

Mid 20s, fairly fertile, lovely.

But you are here.

So if you're serious
about having a baby,

well, you're going
to have to do it

the way nature
intended-- pronto.

-Good morning, Ms. Nolan.

Look what came for you.

-Go away.

Charles.

When you land, don't
go back to the office.

Come straight to my house.

We have to talk before
the party starts.

-Where is Charles?

-He's gone straight
to the office.

-Just-- can we just go and talk?

I had no idea you wanted a--

-No, I've left it too late.

-Oh no, I know
loads of women who

have had babies
in their forties.

-But Charles can't
even be bothered

to turn up for my party.

How am I going to get--

-Don't give him the choice.

And if all else
fails, you can always

use the fondue
fork in the condom.

Worked once for me.

-Too nice.

-All right, darling.

-Thank you.

-How's my birthday girl?

-You're a stuffing ass, butI'm not going to make a scene.

-I love you, too.

Darling.

What?

-Get undressed.

-What?

-Get undressed.

-No, look-- I've missedyou, too, you naughty girl,

but this is the
middle of a party.

-We have to make a baby.

-What?

-I'm ovulating.

-No, I thought you-- Ithought you wanted to wait

and use those eggs
that you gave--

-Well, there was a fire.

-Oh, dear.

-This is fertility.

-Right.

-This is age.

I'm all the way down here.

I have never been at thebottom of a graph in my life.

-Don't worry about fertility.

Look, you will always be
top noogie woogie tottie

as far as this
chap is concerned.

-We don't have much time.

-All right.

Have you thought
about the logistics?

-Logistics?

-Look, I mean, you're
going to need a bigger

place, somewhere
with a nanny flat.

-I don't want a nanny.

-What, you're going to
look after it yourself?

-Oh, don't be ridiculous.

I can't give up work.

-Yes, but darling, they
don't go to boarding

school until they're four.

-Boarding school?

-No, you're surely
not thinking that I--

-We don't have to worryabout all of this now, OK?

You just relax and take a deep--

No, leave it.

-Mr. Yamamoto.

Yes, sir.

The deal is done.

I will call you
back, two minutes.

-Your heart's not
really in this, is it?

-Well, it does seem alittle forced with everybody

downstairs.

-It's nothing to do with that.

It's the idea of
having children.

-Amanda, that is
absolute rubbish.

-That's what terrifies you.

I am on the fertility downslide.

I can't waste my time with aman who can't commit to having

children, who can't even committo a proper relationship.

--Why are you
picking on me like this?

I haven't done anything wrong.

I've been to the office,
I've done my work,

I've spoken to the Japanese.

Now I've come home and
I want to have a party.

-I want to have a baby!

Don't make me laugh.

You'd be a horrendous mother.

You're far too selfish.

For goodness' sake!

Ten years, and we still
lead separate lives.

-It's rubbish.

I practically live here.

-Oh, a pair of socks, a packetof condoms, and the hockney.

That is everything
that belongs to you.

-What do you want from me?

What do you want?

-Nothing.

-What is that supposed to mean?

-It's over, Charles.

-No, no, it is not over.

-We have to be
grown up about this.

-You're leaving me.

Mummy, matron,
nanny, and now you.

Think you can just humiliateme in front of all your guests.

You think you can humiliate me?

Nobody does this to me.

Nobody!

-Oh, a party.

Mandy!

-Dad!

What are you doing here?

-What, I need a reason
to see my only daughter?

-Only her birthday.

-OK, folks.

The party's over.

-All right.

Cheerio.

Do you not think you shouldwash some of these dishes, dear?

-Stuff the washing.

What are you doing here, anyway?

-Well, I don't-- I
just-- just visiting.

-Dad.

-I'm in a wee spot of bother.

-What kind of bother?

-You know that annuity I had?

I used it to start
a mini cab fund.

-You're supposed to be retired.

-I had to do something, dear.

-How much have you lost?

-Everything.

-Not the pension?

The house?

Oh, you stupid, stupid bum pot.

-Well, anyway.

That's enough about me.

So what's happening
in your life?

-I want a baby.

-You?

-Why will no one believe me?

I want a baby.

I really want a baby.

My best eggs have been friend.

I've just lost the
only potential sperm

I could get my hands on.

I work 70-hour weeks, and
I'm another year older.

Oh, and thanks for the card.

-You mean, you-- you-- aregoing to give up your job?

-And end up like Mum?

-What do you mean?

-Angry and frustrated.

The child can sense when someonedoesn't want to be there.

-Your mother loved
looking after you.

-She loved me.

Everything else she hated.

-What on Earth makes
you think that?

-Because I was
there, unlike you.

-Because I was
working every hour

God gave me to give
a decent education.

-Oh, save it, Dad.

It suited you to have
Mum skivvying at home.

-But that's what mothers do.

They make sacrifices.

-Can you not hear yourself?

-What?

-You just said, "mothers
make sacrifices."

-All right, parents--
parents make sacrifices.

At least you can afford a nanny.

-No child of mine will bebrought up by strangers.

-So who will bring it up?

-I'll find a man.

-What man?

-A man who'll make
all the sacrifices.

A man who's intelligent, fit,young, handsome, gentle, good

with children-- make thatexcellent with children--

and happy to be a house husband.

-Anything else?

-Um, I don't think so.

-Great.

-Is that it?

-Yep.

-It was the most outrageous
moment of my life.

I just think
there's more to life

than grubbing about for money.

I'm wanting to settle
down, have a family.

-That is so refreshingto hear, because frankly,

everyone keeps telling
me that-- everyone

keeps telling me that--that--

-I'll pay for you
to rent somewhere.

-No, no, I wouldn't hear of it.

With the London prices,
that's ridiculous.

-Well, I was thinking
of Glasgow, actually.

You've always gone
on about your roots,

even when Mum begged
you to move south.

-Actually, there
are people there

who I would rather
not bump into.

-What people?

-When business goes wrong,they don't call a lawyer.

They send someone round
with a baseball bat.

-A baseball bat?

What if they come here?

-Oh, no, they won't.

No, no, no, they won't.

They won't.

Well, all right.

All right.

Listen, I'll go to the Council.

They can find me a hostel.

A hostel will be fine.

-God, you can stay here untilI find you somewhere decent.

But there have to
be some house rules.

-Absolutely.

-Ask before you bring
your friends back.

Number two, make sure thatyou tidy up after you.

Three, if you pick up thephone, take a message.

And four, don't leave
the toilet seat up.

-Right.

One, um, what was one?

Oh, God.

Oh, you bum pot.

-What do you want?

-Who are you?

-Who the hell are you?

-Well, I'm-- I'm Charles.

I used to live here.

-Oh, Ch-- oh.

Well, thank Christ for that.

You can come in and show mehow to make a cup of tea.

She's adamant that the
father will stay at home

and look after the baby.

I don't you know you, Charles,
but you don't strike me

as being the home husband type.

-God, no.

-I'm with you on that.

You see, what she's
looking for, you know,

is young, fit, manly,slacker to do the business.

That's never going to
be you, is it, Charles?

You all right, Charles?

-We've all had
this vomiting bug.

I've been stuck in
the house for a week

while Simon plays golf in Dubai.

You found your Mr. Right yet?

-Not yet.

-No, and you're never going to.

-Why?

-Your demands are
just ridiculous.

You're looking for Mary
Poppins with a clunker.

-Yes, well, that's
what I gain to take.

-Amanda, you have
the perfect life.

Do you really want to
give it all up for this?

-Hang on.

You told me that having
children was the best

thing that ever happened to you?

-Did I?

-The pinnacle of womanhood.

Don't you remember?

-Oh my god, Amanda.

I don't remember anything.

I haven't slept for seven years.

-Dad?

Dad?

-Charles, Charles, darling.

It's me.

I think I made a
terrible mistake.

Charles?

Are you there?

Charles?

-Yeah, but also-- so
when you want to meet?

-Well, I was thinking let'smeet up at the weekend.

-All right.

What about Sunday, meet
in the park, about 1:00?

-OK.

-Yes.

-Charles?

Hello, Charles, where are you?

I've been at the park for ages.

-Yeah, sorry about that.

But on reflection, I thinkit's better to leave things

as they are.

-What?

-Better all around.

-You blonker.

Blonker, blonker.

Oh, no!

-Go in hard, Karim.

-You like that, Charlie?

-I need a cloth.

And another coffee.

Actually, a drink.

Wine.

White wine.

A large one.

-Here, do you-- do
you need a hand?

-Yes, thanks.

Thank you.

-It's just-- well, you're
welcome to join me.

-Sure, thanks.

I'm, um-- that was really silly.

I just couldn't get a signal.

-That's pretty annoying.

-Suddenly, we're in Lilliput.

I'd better drink it
before it evaporates.

Not that I can drink
all of this by myself.

Would you like to join me?

-Oh, no.

I'll stick to coffee.

Thanks.

-What are you usually
like-- like-- just

things getting on top of me.

-Work?

-Yeah.

-It's Sunday.

Go crazy.

Take the rest of the day off.

-Well, maybe I will.

-Hi, Amanda!

-Hello.

Are you feeling better now?

-You drinking?

-Yes.

My daddy doesn't like it ifmy mummy drinks at lunchtime.

-Well, where is your mummy?

-With Tom, buying ice creams.

-Can't you read?

-Sorry?

-Oh.

-Well?

-Well, coffee is not
really food, is it?

-Trying to be funny?

-No?

-Buy something
from my cafe or go.

-I can get my mummy tobuy you an ice cream, too.

-Uh, that'd be lovely.

- She won't mind,.

-Well, that's very nice of you.

-I'm just trying to helpbecause my mummy says that

Auntie Amanda is
desperate to find--

-Where is your mummy?

Louisa, this is-- uh, I'm sorry.

I don't know your name.

-She only just picked me up.

-You must be very strong.

-Are they yours?

-Yeah.

It's Tansey and Phoebe.

-Very nice.

Take it out of you,
though, don't they?

I'm supposed to be looking aftermy sister's this afternoon.

-How many has she got?

-Three, and another
one on the way.

-She must love it.

Kids, I mean.

Not sex.

Though, obviously, whowouldn't with the right man?

Wow.

Three kids, that must
take some looking after.

Oh, well, I help when I can.

Take them to the park.

Play with them.

-That is so attractive.

Not that you're not attractive,obviously you are attract--

but-- this has gone
right to my head.

-Yeah.

-Yeah, um, because just
playing with children

can be so rewarding.

-Play with us, then.

-I'm sorry?

-There's the playground.

-Yes, but I'm not
dressed for that.

-Come on.

-This is such fun.

Please, please, stop.

-She doesn't usually drink.

-Right to the top.

-Yeah.

She's not-- um--

-Do you think-- um-- does shehave the right shoes for that?

Uh, are you stuck?

-It's not my bottom?

-Uh, what's not your bottom?

-That's not why I'm stuck.

-OK, OK, OK, there we go.

That's it.

Oh no, that is your bottom.

Are you all right?

-Yes.

-OK, that's it.

-Well, it's very nice
to have met you--

-Dan.

-Dan.

And you've probably seen
more than enough of me,

so I'm going to go
and join my friend

and see if she'll whack meover the head with a shovel.

-Are you always
this entertaining?

-I'm not actually allowedout in public places.

-If you ever escape
again and fancy a drink,

or maybe a coffee would be--

-Thanks.

-Although, the phone got nixed--

-OK, OK.

-No, hang on.

I've got a pen.

I'll take yours.

-And this is my office.

-Email?

-Email.

-Facebook?

-That's for younger kids.

-Address?

See you.

And what about your shoes?

-Oh yeah, shoes.

Thanks very much.

That was him.

One in a million.

Mary Poppins with a plonker.

-Oh, my friend Jaunty
went to Thailand.

-Shut up, Simon.

How bad was it?

-I'm sure nobody noticed.

-Look, I've found Auntie
Amanda on YouTube.

-Oh, at least you can't
really see her face.

What are you doing there?

-Oh, it's just Amanda's
bra and knickers

are very well coordinated.

-Hi, Dan.

Hi, Dan.

Hi, Dan.

Hello?

-So there's a rumor that you'relining up a major target.

OK

-Charles?

- Let me know,.

-Have you lost your mind?

-Oh, just joshing about.

We can still do that, can't we?

-I am going to hang up now.

-I'll take that as a yes, then.

-I am going to hang up.

-Go on, you can tell me.

-Goodbye.

-She's quite some
girl, isn't she?

So does she trust you?

-Well, yeah, she's trying
to play it cool, but--

-I knew you were the
guy to do this, Dan.

-The kid thing
really worked on her.

Eyes light up every
time I mentioned it.

You don't think she'll
try and jump me, do you?

-No, no.

No, she's barren.

She's got no eggs,
poor old thing.

She left me when I suggestedthat I use a surrogate mother.

-Right.

-So look, she just--
she just wants

an unthreatening companion.

So string her along.

Find out exactly
when she intends

to move on
Greenstock, and then--

-And then?

-Well, then dump herpainfully from a great height.

You're my kind of guy, Dan.

You are perfect for
that move up to--

-Sydney?

-Sydney.

-Thanks.

-Hi, Amanda.

You're home.

-What's this?

-Well, you said
to take a message.

I took a message
of what you said.

-How is that a message?

-What?

It says on it, he called, Don.

-You sure it wasn't Dan?

-You have me there.

It's possible there
was a penalty appeal.

The boy got a bit vocal.

-Excuse me, could you takeyour feet off my table, please?

-Oh, sorry, love.

It's me knees.

I have to keep them straight
when I'm sitting down.

-I told him to use a cushion.

I apologize, Mandy,
he's got no manners.

Oh, you waster.

-So many of these
things, darling, that--

-Hello?

Hello, hello?

Ah, hello.

No, no.

She's just on the loo.

Sure.

No, you can hang on.

Mind you, i-i-if she's
having a-a-a-- well,

it might be a wee
while, you know?

Yeah.

No.

No, it was just a pee.

Here-- here-- here she is.

-Hello?

Dan.

No, no, I was in the
garden cutting roses.

Oh, he's got Alzheimer's.

I really think it's time hewent in to secure accommodation.

Tonight?

What?

-It's a bit formal.

-Might buy shares off you, butI wouldn't buy you a drink.

-What do they know?

They're old men.

You look lovely.

-It's too much, isn't it?

-Beautiful.

Now he'll want what he
won't get without him

thinking everyone's
had it already.

-We go through their dealingswith a fine toothbrush.

No, I meant toothbrush,
that kind of

goes into all those
dark crevices.

If Greenstock's MD have everput so much as a library fine

through the company accounts,I want to know about it, OK?

Sorry.

-What exactly do you do?

-I look for
undervalued companies

and set them up for takeover.

-Sounds pretty high-powered.

-You?

-Oh, yeah, this and that.

I did a lot of traveling
after my degree, kind

of got in the habit
of casual work.

Gap year is sort ofturning into a gap decade.

-So, how did it go theother day at your sister's?

You went to look after her kids.

-Oh, fine, yeah.

Loads of fun.

Lovely kids, actually.

-God, I really
couldn't imagine coping

being at home with three kids.

-Really?

I think I'd love it.

I worked as a nanny for
awhile in Australia.

-No.

Really?

-Yeah.

-So you have actually had a job?

-Yeah.

-Because I was
beginning to think

you were some kind of
beach bum slob jockey.

-Here's me.

Is it good or bad?

Have you got a tissue?

I'd offer you a lift
home, but I'm not sure

that the crossbar
is that comfortable.

-No.

-I've had a lovely--

-Me too.

-What are you doing tomorrow?

-Sorry, I don't
mean to be pushy.

-No, I'm-- I-- I have
to work on this deal,

but I would like
to see you again

at some point in the future.

-Shit, sorry.

Are you OK?

-Yeah.

-Well, 'night.

-Goodnight.

-You called him what?

-Slob jockey.

-What does that even mean?

-I have no idea.

I'm fertile again in
10 days, and I just

was so worried about scaringhim off by pushing too hard.

But I made a complete
fool of myself.

Again.

-Cocoa, anyone?

-Listen, darling, you're a man.

-Well, I was the
last time I looked.

-Amanda's ovulating in
10 days, so would that

be too soon for you?

-I-- I don't really, um-- so,what exactly are you asking me?

-Would that kind of
schedule scare you off?

-Me?

-If you were Dan?

-Oh, if I was Dan.

Oh, thank goodness.

God.

I thought--

-Well?

-Well, speaking personally,Amanda, I would, um-- yeah,

I'd jump at the opportunity.

-If you were Dan.

-He's a very lucky young man.

-Oh, we're not going
to get anything

meaningful out of you, are we?

-Sorry, no.

-Do you have to tell him?

-I don't know.

He is so perfect.

I can't think straight.

-You know, it strikes me thatromance is a free market.

You have to stop second
guessing his position

and leverage what's
best for you.

Let him worry about his margins.

See?

Not such an idiot after all.

-Oh.

-Hello?

Amanda.

-God, this was a good idea.

What?

-Yeah, I just don'tpicture you in your glass

tower, Mistress of the Universe.

-Oh, hardly.

-That way if the deal
comes off, then--

-Oh, well if the deal comes off,then partnership, huge bonus,

and maybe some time todo whatever I want to do.

-So, uh-- so when will
it be-- be finalized?

I mean, will they,
you know, give

you the day off or something?

-What would a mistress of theuniverse do with a day off?

-Uh, spend a bit of timewith, with a mere mortal?

-Hope he's hungry.

-Yeah.

-Why do women only admit tohunger after they've eaten?

-Years of denial.

-Yeah, well that'swrong, because you listen

to what your body
is telling you.

-Are you still talking
about food, here?

-No, I don't know,
talking cobblers.

-Do you usually
have this problem?

-Well, only when I'm withsomeone who I-- well,

there you go.

Just nearly talked
cobblers all over again.

-Ah, so women deny hunger,but men deny feelings.

-Do you reckon?

-I'm famished.

-I love being with you.

-I suppose at this point
I would invite you back.

-But--

-But I have to work tomorrow.

-Tomorrow's Saturday.

-And I have my dad
staying with me.

-Well, you could always
come back to-- oh, no.

No, my place is a-- is a tip.

-Really?

-Yeah, it's awful.

-If you were living
with someone, Dan,

you would tell me, wouldn't you?

-What, a woman?

Oh, no, no.

There's just men.

-Men?

-Yeah, more mates.

Yeah, they come around allthe time to smoke and drink

and just--

-Well, I have 48 hours
to finalize this deal.

Is that enough time to tidy up?

-Yeah.

Danny
boy, how are things?

-Yeah, it was fine.

Got any juice for me?

-Yeah, they're making
a move on Monday.

Are you sure?

-Yeah.

Just, um-- what's this
going to, you know--

Don't worry, Dan.

It's just you and me.

-Yeah, but-- I mean, how'sit going to affect Amanda?

I'm goingsailing with the CEO tomorrow.

I'll have a chat with him
about your new package.

And end things with Amanda.

Make it as unpleasant
as you can.

-You're a beautiful
woman, you know.

-Thank you.

-God, you're just like your mum.

You've got her
looks and her brain.

-And your knees.

-So, when am I
going to meet him?

-You're not.

-Dear, I am your
father, you know.

-I'm a big girl now.

You've scared enough
of my boyfriends away.

-Who, what?

Who, what?

-Jimmy Banes.

-Jimmy Banes.

Last thing I heard
about Jimmy Banes,

he was living with eight catsand a bald man in Didsbury.

What's this one like?

-He's-- he's the one you
told me didn't exist.

He's young, he's clever,he really likes children,

and he seems happy enough
to just drift along.

-Right over to the
edge of the cliff.

Have you told him your plan yet?

-It was only our second date.

I didn't want to freak him out.

-Oh, jeez.

-What?

-I just-- I don't want
to see you get hurt.

-You can be so undermining.

-But you just met the man?

Even if he agrees to yourplan, how can you possibly know

that he's the right personto father your child?

-Well, I still reckon I've gota better chance than Mum had.

-Oh, now just a
second, young lady.

-Oh, for goodness' sake.

The minute she married
you, any chance she had

of living a fulfilled lifewent way out of the window.

Dad!

That is not going
to happen to me!

Dad!

-I will not spend anothersecond in this ice house.

-Dad.

-You should be looking
after me in my old age,

not sending me out
into the street.

-I am not slinging you
out into the street!

Dad!

Shoot.

Don't believe that nice ladyin HR because size does matter,

and this deal is about
as big as it gets.

So what I want from you is--

Hello?

Oh, Freddie, it's you.

Are you with your team?

-Yeah.

-Might want to share this.

The equity committee is veryimpressed with your ideas

on Greenstock.

-Great.

-You don't sound very pleased.

-I am, of course.

-Well, you should be.

You pull this off, we'll haveto make you a senior partner

with commensurate bonuses
for the entire team.

-OK, target, lawyers, board.

-Everyone.

-Everyone.

-Dangers.

-Dangers.

-OK, are there any risks
we haven't covered?

-There's a little
rumor going around

that you might want to
check out Greenstock.

Just a thought, hmm?

-There is this.

-Well, that's more like it.

What's the area like?

Dodgy?

-Oh, no.

No, it's-- yeah, it's dodgy.

-All right.

I'll take it.

Six months do you?

-Here you go, keep the change.

-Welcome to the neighborhood.

-What the hell am I doing?

Charles.

Danny boy.

You're going to
Hong Kong tomorrow.

-What?

-Danny boy!

Oh, Danny boy,the pipes-- hey, hop aboard.

No, no, not like that.

Get your ruddy shoes off.

Christ, man.

So, what do you think?

-Very nice.

-Share options.

Cunning bugger timed
it to perfection.

Come on board, come on board.

Ah, park your ass.

Right, so this informationyou gave me about Greenstock.

It's presented an opportunity.

Now, I want you to go andrun the show in Hong Kong.

-But--

-All the information
you need is in here.

Thank you.

-But what about Amanda?

-Oh, yeah.

How did she take it?

-Take what?

-You know, when you--
when you dumped her?

-Oh, yeah.

Badly.

Very badly.

Tears, it was awful.

Awful for her, not for me.

Obviously, I couldn't givea hoot's water for-- ducks.

But back to this
Hong Kong thing.

-Yeah, Danny.

Why do you want to
go to Australia?

-I like surfing.

-All right, so do
this and you can

surf for the rest of your life.

-Yeah, but that's--

-Yeah, but you really
have no alternative.

At least you're in theclub, and it is how it is.

-Yeah, but this is--

-Danny.

Dan, Dan.

I like you.

I really do.

That's a compliment, because
I don't like anybody.

-So at the close of
business share price,

we proceed as
planned with a share

plus cash deal of two for seven.

Now that gives them
a premium of 47%,

and that should keep
their board on side.

It's not a bad little
pension, either.

Where are you?

-Still at work.

Are you mad?

Get that egg to Dan
while it's still fresh.

-Louisa, I need some advice.

Do
it as often as you can,

and make sure you
tilt your passage.

Give everything a downhill run.

You don't want to waste a drop.

Emotional advice.

-Right.

I've been with
Charles for ten years.

It's terrifying.

-Darling, darling.

He's young.

He's gorgeous.

Clearly, he likes you.

-But does he like me like that?

-He's a man.

Keep him awake, push
all the right buttons,

and hold on tight.

-Well, gentlemen.

I think you can
take it from here.

-But we haven't finished
the subsidiaries yet.

-Jonathan, have
you got a problem

with the responsibility?

Nail this thing.

-Just finish the subsidiaries.

-Well, hang on, guys.

This is important.

-You heard her, nail it.

-Hello?

-Dan, it's all gone alot better than expected,

so I should be with you
in about half an hour.

-Oh, great.

Half an hour.

-See you then.

-Cobblers.

- No, no, you can't
me, mate.

-Sorry?

-This is no time for pride.

My son got dumped
by UPS last week.

Good luck to you, mate.

-Oh, no.

No.

Oh, no.

-Hi.

-Hi, hi.

-I met your neighbors, and theysaid you often share a drink.

-Did they?

Go on in.

-Anyone would think
you didn't live here.

Here's the champagne.

-Wow.

Worked as a waiter for awhile.

-Two jobs?

-Which is why I don't get
to drink it very often.

-Here's to--

-Us.

-What's wrong?

-Nothing, um.

I have to-- I have to
go away till Monday.

It's a stag do-- turn
up at the airport,

get handed the tickets,
sort of a mad--

-So what are you worried about?

-Because I'd rather spendthe weekend with you.

It's just I feel that I've gotthis one chance to get to know

you, and that's what
I really want to do,

and there's so much
other stuff and it's

all just getting in the way.

And--

-That's exactly how I feel.

-Amanda, there's something
I need to tell you.

-Well, carry on talking.

I don't mind.

-The thing is, I'm notvery good at multitasking.

I never really
got bondage before.

Anything else
you want to try?

What have
you got in mind?

Amanda.

I don't know what I'm doing.

Oh, yes you do.

What's going on?

-I've got to go.

-Oh, come here.

-No, please.

-One kiss, and I'll
make you some coffee.

-I have got to go.

-OK, then.

What's stopping you?

-Oh, I'm so weak.

-OK, up you get.

-Already am.

-Have you booked a cab?

-Yeah.

-Packed?

-Oh, shoot.

-Oh, go and have a shower.

-What time is it?

5:00.

-Are you going to have coffee?

Or--

-Blimey.

I'll take that.

Oh, no.

-No.

Shoes.

-Oy!

Don't I know you now, love?

Where I come from,
that one's 50 pence.

Nah, you're right.

Go on.

-How's the flatshare?

-Oh, it's really lovely.

It's very cozy.

-Really?

-No.

No, it's bloody awful,
as a matter of fact.

Still, makes me sad.

It's my own stupid fault,
so I can't complain.

So, things are going
well this chap you met?

-Is it that obvious?

-No, no, but if they
weren't going well,

you'd have been too
proud to get in touch.

-I'm trying really hard here.

-I'm your dad.

You shouldn't have to try.

Hey, listen.

For what it's worth, I'mreally glad you're happy.

-I am.

I'm really happy.

I have never felt like this.

-That's great.

Well, you hang onto
it, because god,

such a precious
thing can be taken

away from you at any moment.

-Whatever I said, I know
she loved you very much.

-Oh, it's just the office.

It can wait.

-Really?

-Have you got anything
on this afternoon?

-This afternoon-- uh, a-- no.

No, no.

-Hey.

Have you seen the view?

-Corner shop, pub, and bookies.

-Do you like it?

-Yeah, well-- it'd be, beperfect for--for something.

It, it, yes.

-Well, that's lucky, then.

-Aw.

-Somebody in Hong Kongtold me that Tower Equity

are leveraged up to their asses.

So if the tide were
to go out, they

would be standing
around butt naked.

-Dad.

Dad, that's what it says.

-Aha!

There she blows!

Caramba!

Johnny, your boat has come in.

Yes!

Business
speak for the partner

Greenstock are going
to take.

-Thank God.

-What's up?

-The takeover's stuffed.

Where were you yesterday?

Huge investors in the Far East,they're betting against us.

-Get a grip.

-I've started a bloodbath.

This whole thing stinks.

Those blaggerts atGreenstock, they've set us up.

-You saw the reports.

There was nothing there.

There were no poison pills,there were no fishy options.

Nothing.

-Look at our
starting share price.

The city's backing them, not us.

-Jonathan.

-We're stuffed.

We're stuffity stuffed.

Stuffing stuffed.

-Right.

Boardroom now.

-All stuffed, we're stuffed.

You're stuffed in there,we're all stuffed out here.

-Roberts, Roberts,
I can't read this.

There's nothing.

-If anyone starts
shouting or crying,

I will bite their cobblers off.

And if you haven't got any,you better grow them quick.

You're going to need them.

Yep, hello, Dan?

-You sound tense.

This isn't a good time.

-Really?

Well, I-- I want to see you.

Look, I've got to go.

-OK, well I'll call you.

-Dan is me man with
his Hong Kong town,

and he gettin' in the
back of me van, man.

Yeah, hop in.

-Driver.

That is quite a tidy profit.

-It's obscene.

-And this is your new office.

It's how it's supposed
to be, isn't it?

So your share of the profitsworks out at around 10 million.

So you're going to need this.

A chum of mine, off
shores specialist,

waiting for your call.

-Dan, I'm not going
to be able to make it.

-But why?

-Christ, I've
explained all this.

We are going under here.

-I know, sorry.

-I hope you haven't
gone to any trouble?

-No, no, it's-- no, it's fine.

Tomorrow?

-I'll try.

-I've got you something.

Dan, that is so sweet.

Oh, excuse me.

Excuse me.

Yep, I'm downstairs.

Why?

I'm going to have to go.

They brought the
meeting forward.

I've only got five minutes.

-OK, I guess things are
pretty frantic up there.

-A massive deal has just
blown up in my face.

-You're not going
to lose your job?

-My job, my house, my career,everything is on the line here.

-Christ.

-It's going to take the bestpart of a month to sort out,

which is why I really
don't have time right

now to be doing
all this, you know?

-This is going to sound reallyweird, but I can help you.

-You?

-Yeah, I've-- well, I've
come into some money.

-Christ, Dan, I do
not need your money.

-Yeah, well,
believe me-- there's

more than enough
for the both of us.

-What planet are you on?

I spent one night withyou, which is not the best

decision I have ever
made in my life.

-Why?

-Because instead of
messing around with you,

I should have been
concentrating on my--

-Messing around?

-It's not about the money.

It's about my career, which Ihave spent years building up.

-And that comes in
front of everything.

-I have to go.

-Now, despite all
this volatility

and with the share
price going up--

-Yeah, we've all been
to business school,

and we like your brain.
-Screw you, Jonathan!

-Gentlemen!

Christ!

We are fighting
for our lives here.

I've told you this.

-Got medicine.

God, you don't look well.

-That's not what I need to hear.

Equity
firms, Amanda Nolan,

a very interesting
figure-- she has a--

-And now, that is that.

-That's your company, isn't it?

-We've been taken over.

-How'd that happen?

-You really want to know?

The morning before we
announced our offer,

the Asian market startedbuying shed loads of Greenstock

shares, which
forced the price up.

At the same time, a rumorcirculated that we couldn't

finance the deal, whichforced our share price down.

-Oh.

-And I feel like death.

-Ah, but you'll get better.

-How do you know?

I could be dying.

-You won't have to
worry about your job.

Why did you eat all
that sushi, anyway?

Stuffing your face.

Your hate sushi.

-I hate trifle, too.

-Well, you had sushi and trifle.

Oh, dear god.

-Oh.

-Oh, oh, oh.

-Oh, god, no.

-You want me to go back
to the chemist's, dear?

Mandy?

Is it positive?

-Yes.

-You sure?

-See for yourself.

-Well, when one door closes,
another always opens.

-You are going to get
another beaker of urine

over you in a minute.

-At least an
attractive prospect.

-They can't sack you
for being pregnant.

-They can sideline me intoa humiliating cul-de-sac

until I fall on my sword.

-Mandy.

-I've seen it happen
countless times.

Hell, I've even done
it to women myself.

-Mandy.

-What?

-Tell them you're having alove affair with chocolate

and you're still seeing
chips on the side.

Have your baby.

Take a couple weeks offand then hand over to Dan.

That was your original
plan, wasn't it?

-I haven't been seeing him.

-I thought you two
were, you know.

-We were, but then worktook me over again, and--

-Oh, dear.

Well, neither of us are very
good at balance, are we?

-What am I going to do, Dad?

-Well, there are lots
of things you can do

and lots of things
you might regret,

but what you want to figureout is what makes you happy.

-You look very smart.

You're not getting
married, are you?

You're not getting married.

-No, no, no.

I don't rush into that
kind of thing anymore.

I mean, not that we were--

-I'm really sorry, Dan.

I have to apologize
about my behavior.

-Is that what you wanted to say?

-Not just that.

Sorry.

-No, sorry, I just can'tthink straight when you--

when I've-- I've got something
important to say to you.

-Really?

Me too.

-You too?

OK, so neither of us
goes without saying

whatever it is we have to say.

-Right.

-Right.

You see, that was
what I was afraid of.

Every time I try and tellyou the truth, that happens.

-What?

-That.

God, I missed you.

-Me too.

-I've been meaning to
give you something.

And you can open it this time.

-Dan, it's beautiful.

Where did you get it?

-Hong Kong.

-Hong Kong.

I can be clear later.

It's a traditional--
well, it's symbolic

of the knots between twopeople of love and truth.

-Love and truth.

Wait here.

-With love.

-Now, the truth.

I'm supposed to be
going to Sydney tonight.

-Australia?

-If you want to
understand why, I

need to back to
when we first met.

-Oh god, I have to sit down.

-I haven't finished.

-I have to tell
you my thing now.

-OK.

-I haven't been entirely
honest with you.

You see, the thing is--

-But I thought you
couldn't have children.

-Christ, how old
do you think I--

-I wasn't even supposedto fall in love with you.

Oh god, this is so messed up.

-Where you going?

-All right.

Yes, you are going to
be a single mother.

But you're going
to keep your job.

-So who is going to
look after the baby?

-Ah, I will.

-Aha!

What are you saying?

-I will look after the baby.

-Yeah, but what about this?

What about your mates and
your flat and your big--

-What does that matter?

You said that you
didn't want the baby

brought up by strangers.

-Yeah, but by someone
who wants to with love!

-That'll be me, then.

-Oh, Dad.

-Give me the chance todo it properly this time.

And this will be our wee secret.

Cup of tea?

On the court,the key question that everyone

is asking at the moment is wheredoes this leave Tower Equity?

Well, I have to say I wouldn'tlike to be in their shoes.

I think this is going to
put them in an extremely

uncomfortable and
unstable position.

-Even if the regulator getsinvolved, the damage is done.

We've been screwed big time.

-You're staying on,
though, aren't you?

-As a non-executive.

So I'll have some say
in who keeps their job.

I don't think you'll
have any problem.

With your experience,
drive, and commitment,

I don't imagine
your opposite number

at Greenstock will
stand a chance.

-Oh, Freddie.

Thank you.

-You have my full backing.

-Excuse me.

-Chin up, girl.

-Actually--

-Canteen sushi.

-Yeah, I'd keep your head down.

-Because she's pregnant.

That's how I know
you lied to me.

-You little sneak.

You told me you dumped her.

-I need to know the truth aboutwhat happened with you two.

-She thought she
could just walk away.

But that is the lesson, Dan.

All our actions
have consequences.

So she can have her sotted baby,but she's going to pay for it.

-You are a deeply
mucked up person.

-Now I feel all the anger andresentment just melting away.

-Why?

-Come on, Dan.

Think about it.

It's the classic coup de grace.

Pregnant and jilted
by her toy-boy lover?

I get to ruin her career
and her reputation.

-You tell anyone
she's pregnant and I

will tell the regulatorwhat we did in Hong Kong.

-Oh really?

What, and lose the Sydney
offers and the 10 mil?

Get me Freddie
Ruddick, will you?

-I'm not bluffing, Charles.

-Dan, my boy, I know youbetter than you know yourself.

You may have scruples,
but you're not stupid.

Freddie, glad I
got ahold of you.

Listen, I know that
Amanda Nolan is

favorite to stay on as
head of acquisitions.

But there's something
you might like to know.

I'll call you back, sorry.

Get me security.

-I don't know you, mate.

If they let you go,
I'm really sorry.

-Oh, thank god you're here.

He's trying to
steal my computer.

-It's him.

You've got the wrong person.

-You won't even notice I'm gone.

It'll be like the newscaster--oh god, what's her name-- you

know, she gave birth
on the studio floor

in the commercial break.

-Really?

-Well, no.

Not really.

But she was back at
her desk in days.

-Can you make sure the
regulator gets this?

-It's not just the baby.

-Well, what is it then?

-It's a question of credibility.

There are rumors that
the young man who--

-Yeah, yeah?

-That there may have
been pillow talk.

-I never discussed
a thing-- oh, you've

already made your
mind up, haven't you?

I have given my
life to this firm.

-Amanda, don't make a scene.

-I need you to clear your desk.

-Is that clear enough for you?

-Amanda.

-I can just about understandyou not wanting to stick around

for the baby, but why didyou have to tell my boss?

-I didn't.

-Who did then?

-Oh good, you're still here.

I really wouldn't
have missed this.

-This is my boss.

He's a maniac.

And whatever he said about
Amanda, it's all lies.

Apart from the baby.

-Wonderful.

-He set the whole thing up.

I didn't think
before that it would

get serious between
the two of us.

-You work for him?

-I tried to tell you.

I just about got my headaround you probably leaving me,

and then you said
you were pregnant.

-Somewhere between a Greektragedy and a French farce.

-He said you couldn't
have children.

That's-- that's why the
baby was such a shock.

-Oh, the baby was a shock.

-Amanda, look.

It's all out in the open.

I've had time to think about it.

-After you saw me
do that to him,

what did you think I
was going to do to you?

-Please, don't.

-We're looking for Daniel Ryan.

-Having a lie down
with his boss.

Ugly maternity wear.

We should just
have bought a tent.

At least we could
use it afterwards

for all those cheap holidayswe're going to have.

-Oh, phone, dear.

-Can you get it please, Dad?

-Which button is it?

-That one.

-Hello, yes?

Ah, right.

Just hold on.

It's the prison service.

-Who?

-Dan, requesting a call.

-Well, he can
request all he likes,

but I'm not talking to him.

-Um, could you call back
please in a wee while?

About six months.

Right, thank you.

Mandy.

-So Dan tries to stopthis Charles bloke, shocks

him, lands himself in theshit as well, pleads guilty,

does six months.

-She won't even talk to him.

-He's doing time while
her ex is a runner

around on the Chairman's yacht?

- Oh, that
Charles bloke?

-Yes.

-Do you think anyone
will pay a ransom?

Looks lovely.

Any beers?

-Cheers.

-So is she going to see
Dan when he comes out?

-She won't even talk about him.

-After all he's been through?

-Stubborn.

Just stubborn.

I think she's still
in love with him.

-All right, lads.

-Two of the beers.

-He'll be here any day now.

-Special delivery.

-You've got a nerve.

-No room for you
on the yacht, then?

-I'm not going to run away.

-I thought I made myselfclear at our last meeting.

-What, the--?

-Yes, well.

-Well, I just wanted to saythat if you need anything,

I'm out on parole now and I'mhere for you and the baby.

-You really are something, Dan.

You think you can just tip upwith a big bunch of balloons

and stare at my tits and I'mgoing to melt in your arms.

-I was in prison for six months.

What did you expect?

-You were never one
for self-restraint.

-What can I say, Amanda?

They're enormous,
and I couldn't help

noticing you're still wearing--

-Well, my dad is going
to look after the baby,

so you are off the hook.

-But what about you?

Who's going to look after you?

-Nobody.

I don't need looking after.

I'm fine on my own.

-No you're not,
and neither am I.

-Go away.

-Look, before we met, I wasjust another selfish egomaniac

who couldn't see
beyond the next bonus.

-A lying, selfish egomaniac.

-And you, who had it
all and then suddenly,

oh, I want a baby.

I want a baby, but I don'twant to give up my career.

Oh, I know.

I'll trap some poor idiot,
get myself pregnant,

and then he'll do it all.

-Well, my career's
up the spout now,

I think you're off the hook.

-You didn't just want a baby.

You needed love.

-Not from you.

-But you're wearing
the necklace I got you.

-Oh?

-Don't cry.

Please, I'm sorry.

It's just, I've lost
everything and I now

know that the only thing
that matters is you.

-The baby.

-And the baby, of course.

-The baby.

-Yeah, you and the baby.

-The baby, you idiot, is coming.

-Oh, god.

Right.

I'll take you to the hospital.

-No, no, no.

It's coming now.

-Ray.

Ray, call an ambulance.

OK, don't push, whatever you do.

Guys, clean sheets,
towels, anything.

-Listen to him and
do whatever he says.

-OK, that's it.

Let's get you in the
corner of the bed.

OK, sit on the
corner and breathe.

-The ambulance is
coming towards us, dear.

-I think we're going tohave to do this on our own.

-What?

-It's OK, darling.

I worked in a
hospital for a while.

-Did you?

-Seen it on the telly.

-Right, let's put
these under you.

That's it.

-Dan, Dan, Dan, I'm
really frightened.

-Don't worry.

Don't worry, look at me.

-I'm going to die.

-We're going to do this, Amanda.

I promise you you're
going to be fine

and the baby is
going to be fine.

-OK, OK, you're good.

It's only my nose.

Breathe.

Breathe.

-Here he is!

I can see the head!

I can see the head!

Oh yes.

Oh, that's it.

-You've done it.

-We've done it.

-You all right?

-Yeah, I think so.

You?

-Nobody's going to
ask if I'm all right

till she's old enough to talk.

-Is it a girl?

-Yes, it's a girl.

-My darling Isabella.

-Isabella.

That was her mother's name.

-Will you please stop crying
and get me a cold drink?

-Guys, come meet Isabella.

-That's your godfather.

Hey, he'll be useful
during your gap year.

President of some South
Sea island by then.

-If it wasn't for that naughtypirate, you wouldn't be here.
