All language subtitles for Just Good Friends s03e01 Paris.eng

? What would you say

? If I told you things
had never changed and...

? We II find a way

? To take our dreams and rearrange them

? Who d believe

? That we could be in love again?

? So let s just pretend

? That you and me can be

? Just good friends ?

(Thinks) This is typical of the French.

They couldn't build a nice little tower.

They had to build a bloody great big one.

Why couldn't that Warrender girl
have met me somewhere on the ground?

It s because I've got a fear of heights
and she s got a cruel streak.

Oh.

Excuse me.

After all this time,
she s still punishing me.

What s wrong with you, Pinner?
You re going halfway to the moon

for a divorced vegetarian
who bears a grudge.

(Thinks) What a pathetic little person
you re making yourself look.

On the one hand,
here you are working

for one of Europe s
largest advertising agencies,

in a position of...
well, yes...

considerable responsibility, and power.

Well, maybe not power.

But here you are,
waiting for a man you know won't arrive.

He was supposed to meet you here
a year ago but he didn't turn up then.

You are waiting for a man
who is a year late.

I'll give him another five minutes
and that s all.

Oh.

Cor, that was silly.

Still, at least
the garlic s fresher up here.

He didn't even have the decency
to phone me personally

to ask whether it was convenient
to visit me.

No, he just left a message
with my secretary.

(French accent) 'Monsieur Pinner
will meet you on Thursday at 12 o clock.'

Not a hint of an apology
for not turning up last year.

I wonder if he s changed.

I mean, it s been two years.

Two years!

He may have altered
out of all recognition.

He might be bald.

And fat.

He might be a big, fat bald guy
with dentures.

Oh, God!

Silly!

Why don't you just leave the past
where it is? Go now.

Otherwise you may end up
feeling the way you used to feel.

The way... he used to make you feel.

I'll give him another ten minutes.

Hello.

(American accent) Hi.

How are you doing?

Vernon Caudhill. Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Oh, how do you do?

Is this your first trip to gay Paree, too?

Oh, no, no, I live here.

Oh, well, maybe you can
show me some of the sights, huh?

Er, yes.

Er, no. No, no.
I m extremely busy.

Oh, good Lord. Is that the time?

- I must fly.
- Well, how about dinner?

I have appointments,
lots and lots of appointments.

Some other time, then.

Mm, yes.

- Goodbye.
- Goodbye, honey.

Oh, yeah.

Hello, Paris.

- Hey, man, this place is something else.
- Absolutely.

You know, I've been in Paris
exactly two hours

and already a cute chick
has tried to pick me up.

- Can you believe that?
- No.

I can't wait to tell the boys back home.
It s never happened to me before.

I can believe that.

- Excuse me.
- Hey, fella!

I almost missed you.

Just when I thought it was safe
to go back in the lift.

- Well?
- Yeah. You?

No, Vince. Don't you think
I deserve some sort of explanation?

You were supposed
to meet me here last year.

- You are exactly 12 months late.
- Yeah, well, I m sorry about that, Pen.

Sorry?

That s it, is it? Just sorry.

What about me
being made to wait for you?

You mean,
you've been up there for a year?

Dear, God!

Look, something cropped up.
It was important, very important.

You II think I m exaggerating
but it was a matter of life and death.

- Why, what happened?
- I can't remember now. It was a year ago.

But it was important.

- Didn't you get my letter?
- Yes, but it arrived three days...

- I suppose it doesn't matter now.
- No, of course not.

So, how are you?

Fine.

- You re looking lovely.
- Ssh, stop it.

- You II embarrass me.
- Oh, sorry.

(Squeals)

(Penny) Notre Dame.

(Vince) Oh, that s beautiful, isn't it?

- No Quasimodo jokes.
- Sorry?

The moment you mention Notre Dame,
everyone tells a Quasimodo joke.

I know what you mean, Pen.

Enough to give anyone the hump.

How s your mother these days?

- Oh, she s fine. Thank you.
- Oh, good.

- Well, that s not quite true.
- Why, what s wrong?

Oh, no, she s not ill.

- Oh.
- No.

You remember
the firm Daddy worked for?

- The wine importers.
- Right.

Well, some time back
he applied for promotion.

It was doubtful he d get the job.

His lack of experience in new technology
was against him.

Anyway, in an effort to impress,

Mummy dragged him along
to a computer exhibition at Earls Court.

They discovered a machine
that could save his company

thousands of man hours a year.

So he persuaded the chairman
to buy this computer

and the first one it sacked was Daddy.

- He got the sack?
- Well, he was made redundant.

Oh, well, that s not so bad, is it?

I don't believe it.
Good old Norm out on his ear.

Oh, well, something will turn up.
He keeps looking.

Of course, it upset Mummy very badly.

- She s under the doctor again.
- Really?

Amazing what you can get
on the NHS these days.

Go on, Norman. Get in there.

- Sorry, dear?
- In there.

Well, hurry up,
before somebody sees you.

Look, Daphne,

we've discussed all this before.

I am redundant.

Now, that doesn't make me a criminal
or diseased in some way.

- It s nothing to be ashamed of.
- Well, of course not, darling.

We are, if nothing else, a proud family.
Just don't shove it down people s throats.

Look, Daphne,

like millions of others,
I m simply a member of the unemployed.

You re a member of the golf club
but you don't take your trolley everywhere.

Now, away you go, Norman.
I'll see to the meter.

Where should I meet you?

Wait in the car, Norman.
I've just got a few things to get.

Penny will be back on Monday and I d like
to offer her more than bread and cheese.

Yes, dear.
You won't be long, will you?

Not long, Norman.

Now, away you go.

And remember, darling,

when you come out,
collar up and head down.

See you later, dear.

Norman!

(? Rock n roll on car stereo)

Oh, my God, that s all I need!

Oh, great.

You lay one finger on my Jaguar
and I'll have your knackers for earrings.

What have we done?

I know what you lot are like.

Bleedin' troublemakers.

Daphne!

Oh, Daphne!

Keep your thieving mitts off.

Well, this is it.

Be it ever so humble,
it s still home to me.

No, no, it s...

It s very nice, Pen. I like it.

- Is it a company flat?
- No, no, no. I just rent it.

I just bought myself a new flat
out near Chigwell.

After three weeks
I m still not on the phone.

And I've got shares in British Telecom.

Where does this door lead to?

Oh, er, that s...

That s the kitchen.

It s a lovely kitchen as well, Pen.

Thank you.

And... this door?

That s a broom cupboard.

Ah, but what a broom cupboard, Pen.
It s...

It s very... French.

Oddly enough,
it is in fact a French broom cupboard.

I thought as much.

And... what s behind that door?

That s a hallway.
That s French as well.

- Really? Do you mind?
- Oh, please.

- Oh, it s an impressive hallway, Pen.
- Well, I m pleased with it.

And what are these two doors?

Ah, well, that one leads to the bathroom

and that one... to the bedroom.

Oh, I see.

- I was wondering...
- I'll go and make some coffee.

I d prefer a beer, Pen.

Oh, I m not sure if I've got any beer.

Oh, I think Alain
might have left a couple of cans.

Who s Alan?

No, it s pronounced Alain.

All right, who s Alain, then?

- He s a friend of mine.
- Oh.

So, you re not working
at the betting shop any more?

- How do you know?
- Well, I phoned there,

to find out if in fact
you d be arriving this year.

Yeah, well, I resigned.

- They caught you!
- Nobody caught you.

It was all a misunderstanding.

With all the evidence and the auditor s
statements stacked up against me,

I felt it best to leave.

I run the family business now.

You work in a scrap-metal yard?

I am the managing director.

Of a scrap-metal yard?

I've made a lot of changes.
It s a nice scrap-metal yard now.

I got rid or that old shed
my father called an office

It s been replaced
by an executive Portakabin.

It s got carpets,
rosewood filing cabinets,

pictures...

The lot.

Here s my... Here s my card.

That is my personal,
personal office number.

Only the nearest and dearest
get one of those.

- Ooh, thank you, Vince.
- Call me anytime.

If I m not there, leave a message
on my personal answering machine.

I don't know what to say.

I didn't expect anything like this.

Oh, I'll treasure it.

So how s life treating my little euro bird?

- I m not a euro bird.
- But you re still in the advertising game?

Yes, I am now the directeur adjoint
de la planification conceptuelle.

Do they supply the bike or not?

The title "directeur
de la planification conceptuelle" means

the director of concept and planing.

Oh. What does that other word mean.

- What word?
- What was it now? Adjoint.

That means assistant.

Oh, you re an assistant now?

You've risen all the way
from a secretary to an assistant.

I bet you have to pinch yourself
sometimes, don't you?

I might not have achieved
your quantum leap

from betting shop to junk yard

but at least I m moving
in the right direction.

When the present head
of my department leaves, I'll take over.

- How old is he?
- What does it matter?

OK, he's 29.

Oh, so you re just waiting
for him to die, then bingo.

I reckon by the time you re 63,
you II get a well earned promotion.

Just drink your beer
and I'll take you out and show you Paris.

Do you mind if I shower and change first?

- Oh, I insist.
- Thank you.

Pen...

There s an old saying that goes:
Never shower after an argument.

Sorry.

OK.

Pen?

Don't be silly.

Oh, Daph.

Oh!

Oh, hello, darling.

How are you?

I'm very well, thank you. And you?

Can t complain.

Been getting a touch of the...

Still, I don't have
to tell you nothing about that, do I?

I saw you earlier. I called out.

Really?

Yeah, I seen you a lot round here.

- Always give you a shout or a bip.
- I wasn't aware.

It s your ears, darling.

Still, at our age, you got to expect
something to start going, eh?

(Laughs hysterically)

Oh, presh, coffee for two
and a couple of sticky cakes.

Not for me, Rita,
I really have to be going.

Oh, come on.

You got five minutes for a chat.

We ain't seen each other for ages.

Did you get our Christmas card?

Oh, yes, thank you.

It was... very amusing.

Yeah, I like them saucy ones.

I know you do.

We didn't get yours.

Still, we re always on the move.
Could have got lost anywhere.

What a shame.

You see, my Les has taken
a sort of early semi-retirement.

We spend half the year
in our villa in Portugal

and the other half in England.

My Vince is running the business now.

- Doing all right as well.
- Good.

My Cliffy's just come out of hospital.

Got his ankle trapped
in our automatic garage doors.

Teach him to mess around
with Les remote control box.

- Eh?
- Yes.

And how are all yours?

Oh, they re very well, thank you.

And Penny?
She still over in what s-its-name?

Paris.

Yes, she has a very important position
in the company now.

Oh, love her.

I often think of her, you know,
and what might have been.

Oh, well, that s all in the past, eh, Daph?

Way, way in the past.

I must tell you
what happened to my Vincent.

Yes, well, I'd love to stay but I'm afraid
I have a rather pressing engagement.

Oh, it'll only take a couple of minutes.

We ain't even had our cakes yet.

- Ain't that your Norm?
- Where?

Over there, coming out
the old Father Feed Em All.

- No, that s not Norman.
- Isn't it?

No, it looks nothing like Norman.

No, I suppose you re right.

I don't know,
what with my eyes and your ears,

we make a right pair, eh?

No, it s nothing like Norm.
He s a funny-looking sod, ain't he?

Yes

Well, whoever he is,
he s got a parking ticket.

Where was I?

(Chuckling)

- I bet the kitchen staff were in fits.
- Yeah, I bet they were.

I mean, snails legs!

'You'll never believe this, but the stupid
English man has ordered snails legs.'

Frogs and snails.
What s the world coming to?

I just got confused.

Ooh, they re coming back on me already.

It was a smashing evening.
I really enjoyed myself.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

I'll, um...

I'll just...

- Would you excuse me?
- Yeah. Yeah, of course.

Magic, Pinner. You re just magic.

Two bottles of bubbly.

A few well chosen phrases
from your vast repertoire

and she is slipping
into something less comfortable.

Just think, you could have been born
someone else.

What s this?

- Your suitcase. Don't you recognise it?
- Yeah...

It's getting late and I've got to be up
for work in the morning.

- I assumed you'd be going.
- Going? Where?

Well, your hotel.

Hotel? Oh, my God, I knew
there was something I had to do, Pen.

You didn't book a hotel?

I meant to but with all the excitement
of meeting you, it slipped my mind.

Oh, what a shame.

Still, never mind.

There s a hotel on that corner
and there are two just up the road there.

It s not high season so you should have
no trouble finding a room in one of them.

Oh, what a bit of luck that is.

I don't know what I would have done
without you, Pen.

Lucky I brought my raincoat.

Oh, it s just two tiny drops on the window.

- There s one up there as well.
- OK, so there's three drops.

Nobody s building an ark.

Listen, give me a ring at the office
and we'll make some arrangements.

Fine.

Just a little something to...
fight the cold air.

It was a lovely evening.

Yeah, it was.

Well, I'll see you tomorrow, then.

God bless.

He must think
I just fell off a Christmas tree.

Oh, God. Just look at those clouds.

Vince.

Vince!

Yeah?

Oh, you re still here.

Yeah.

Er, this is a lift, isn't it?

Yes. Somebody most probably
has left the doors open at the bottom.

Yeah, that's about it.

Did you want me?

No, no, not particularly.

It's just when you came out
and screamed my name

I got to thinking that maybe
you were trying to attract my attention.

Yes, well, um...

Actually, you were right.
It is raining.

And, well, the hotels
might have locked up for the night.

So, if you like, you could stay here.

Have I ever told you
you re a very kind person.

- Yes, you have.
- Are you sure I won't be putting you out?

Oh, no, really,
I can make up a bed on the sofa.

Are you sure you'll be comfy?

Don't push your luck, zonko.

Wish I still smoked.

It's me.

Yes.

- I was a bit cold.
- Oh.

You know, I still love you.

(Norman) Put it down there, driver.

- Hello, darling.
- Hello, Mummy.

- Good flight?
- Yes, very good.

We took off on time. No problems.

'We' took off on time?
You were with someone?

Yes, we.
Me and the other passengers.

I assumed when I bought the ticket
I'd have the plane to myself.

But they put other people on board.
Most annoying.

There's no need to be flippant.
I am your mother.

Sorry.

I bought Daddy a bottle of whisky.

Oh, good. He will be pleased.

And I've got you some perfume.

Thank you, darling.

I can put it with all the others bottles
you've bought me.

Mummy, I am not buying you
duty-free cigarettes and that s final.

I'll take your case upstairs
in a few minutes, darling.

Penny s bought you a bottle of whisky.

Oh, how very sweet of you. Thank you.

Let's put it away, Norman.

You never know. The time may come
when we have something to celebrate.

- No, let's celebrate now.
- Celebrate what?

Well, we'll think of something,
won't we, darling?

- Yes, it must be somebody s birthday.
- Must be.

- Did you pay the taxi?
- Yes, I paid him.

- How much do I owe you?
- Oh, that's all right.

No, how much do I owe you?

I said, that's all right, darling.

Thank you.

Now, pour me a drink
and I'll take your case upstairs.

He is a changed man
since the redundancy.

I can't say I've noticed any change in him.

I can't say I've noticed
any change in you, either.

You're still throwing out
hurtful little remarks.

I say those things to encourage him.

But it doesn't work.
I doubt if anything would.

If you lived here, you'd understand
how much he's changed.

He's edgy and snappy.

Well, perhaps he's worried.

Maybe you should try
and understand how he feels.

Maybe you re right.

Anyway, I don't want to burden you
with our problems. I'll see to the dinner.

Norman?

Can you bring me a clean tea towel?
They're in the airing cupboard.

I'm a bit busy at the moment, darling.
Would you mind getting it yourself?

Do you see what I mean?
He's unbearable.

My own personal office number.

Moron.

(Ringing tone)

Hi, this is Vince Pinner

and you've just been connected
to my personal answering machine.

As you've probably gathered,
I'm not here at the moment,

but if you 'd like to leave your name,
number and inside leg measurement,

I'll get back to you as soon as possible
and that's a promise.

Eurgh!

Um, hi, Vince. It's me.

I, um... T-That's Penny.

Um, I just thought I'd phone
to say that...

I enjoyed our weekend.
It was lovely.

It was...

Well, it was really nice
to see you again after all this time.

I, um... (Clears throat)

I feel that I said
lots of things that I didn't mean

and didn't say
lots of things that I did mean.

Well, you know what I mean.

Like, I didn't say that you re a big, fat rat

and I didn't say...

that I love you, and I should have.

Anyway, I've said it now.

I'll be in the London office
for a few days, so...

come up and see me sometime.

Bye.

Not those glasses, darling.
They were a present from the Pinners.

- Remember?
- Oh, yes. Sorry.

Did Mummy tell you
she bumped into Rita, Vince s mother?

Don't bring Thing s name up now.
We re just about to eat.

Don't be silly, Daphne.
That s all in the past, isn't it?

Yes.

So, she caught you, did she?

Yes. Bloody woman.

I'm sure that voice could grate cheese.

She kept going on and on about him.

What about him?

Apparently,
it all took place over a year ago.

- What took place?
- Vince got married.
