08:41Your wife.
08:51Hi.
08:53I'm Gary.
08:56Playing squash.
09:00Great legs.
09:02Yeah.
09:08Yep.
09:23And I, uh...
09:25I always get so lonely in the shower.
09:29My hair, of course.
09:31It's soft and gentle.
09:36Thanks.
09:44So, wish to borrow some money, do you, you snivelling little bankrupt?
09:55I'll have fish.
10:00Meow.
10:15Sorry to keep you.
10:18Just finding your details.
10:23Looks like rain.
10:30So...
10:32You want to borrow some money, do you?
10:34Yes, please.
10:35What do you intend spending it on?
10:37Friday night.
10:43Could you be more specific?
10:45Well, does it really matter?
10:47Oh, yes. I'll need some details if I'm going to lend you the bank's money.
10:50All right.
10:52It's this woman upstairs who needs some money.
10:55Well, in that case, I think it's best if she applies for the loan herself.
10:58No, she doesn't know she needs it.
11:02This all seems rather ill-conceived.
11:05Well, I only want a few hundred.
11:08You must have some stashed away somewhere.
11:11For a rainy day?
11:13No.
11:15Well, what about if I took a loan to buy a car?
11:19Yes, that could possibly be done.
11:21Great. Well, let's do that, then.
11:24You wouldn't be planning to sell the car shortly after buying it, would you?
11:28Yeah.
11:30I'm afraid that's not allowed.
11:33All right.
11:35I'm in love with this woman, and I need to buy her a few things.
11:39To quote the immortal words,
11:41money can't buy me love.
11:44Can't buy me love.
11:48Money can't buy me love.
11:53Yes, well...
11:55I'm sorry.
11:57Well, never mind.
11:59Well, goodbye.
12:05I don't think he's warmed up enough to go back in there.
12:15Ah, waiter.
12:17There's a fly in my soup.
12:20Come to think of it, there's something pretty super in my fly as well.
12:27Don't make things difficult, Gary.
12:30She'll be here in a minute.
12:32Don't worry me. I'm going out.
12:34Well, where are you going to go?
12:36I thought I'd just sit in the pub and watch Les scratch his ex-wife.
12:40I didn't think you'd fall apart like this
12:42just because Dorothy's seen some other bloke.
12:44I haven't fallen apart.
12:46I'm in a state of flux.
12:49I'm like a tightly-coiled chrysalis about to burst on the world.
12:53Well, could you do your pupating somewhere other than the draining room?
12:57It's handy for the fridge.
12:59Give Dorothy a ring.
13:03I wonder what she's doing now.
13:05Listen, there's no point in you sitting there
13:08torturing yourself with images of Dorothy
13:11bouncing up and down on something.
13:15Thanks very much. I wasn't.
13:19Anyway, get off that chair. I need it for the guitarist.
13:21What guitarist?
13:23I've got a flamenco player coming tonight. Les booked him.
13:25What's his name?
13:27Jeremy.
13:28Oh, that's very Spanish.
13:30Well, he's probably anglicised it. It's probably Jeremy.
13:32Oh, yeah. What's his surname?
13:34Ostock.
13:35Smashing.
13:36Poor Debra. She's only just split up with Mike.
13:39She'll run out screaming if you come on at her like...
13:42Paul Daniels on heat.
13:45It's a surprise for her.
13:47She's only expecting a cup of tea and a wagon wheel.
13:50Lend us a fiver for some beer.
13:52No.
13:53Oh, all right. I might just have to stay in then and do my feet.
13:57All right.
13:59Here's 20 quid, all right?
14:08Hi.
14:09Dermot.
14:11Why?
14:12Why what?
14:13You're not dressed normally.
14:16Oh, this old thing. I just take it out now and again for an airing.
14:21Oh, hi, Gary. Aren't you staying?
14:23Yeah, all right.
14:25No, I'm not. I'm sorry. Have a nice evening.
14:33Welcome.
14:35Oh, Dermot, this isn't going to work.
14:37Drink?
14:39I always find a gin and tonic slips down nicely this time in the evening.
14:43Do you?
14:49Ice and slice?
14:51Please.
14:57Ice's a bit soft, I'm afraid.
15:00Oh, Dermot, this is stupid. I've only just split up with Mike.
15:04I'm just showing you what it'd be like if you went out with me.
15:07Days like this...
15:09How long would the flowers last?
15:11A week?
15:13A month?
15:16They'd last forever.
15:18They're plastic.
15:30Takeover meal for Mr and Mrs Povey?
15:32You're early.
15:34No, it's half past seven.
15:36I thought you'd come with a flamenco guitarist.
15:39No, prawn fritters, special sushi.
15:42Oh, excuse me, since when was sushi Spanish?
15:45No, Japanese food.
15:47But I ordered it from a restaurant called the Hasta Mañana.
15:50No, it's under new management.
15:52The Hasta Mañana closed down.
15:54Food poisoning.
15:56Many dead.
16:01What did you say this was again?
16:03Tofu stick.
16:05Raw cuttlefish and horseradish.
16:07Hmm.
16:09That's the good thing about Japanese food, isn't it? You can't go wrong.
16:12How do you know I liked it?
16:14Intuition.
16:17Who normally cooks? You or Gary?
16:20Gary. He's quite adventurous sometimes.
16:23The other night he did something with peanut butter.
16:26Satay?
16:28No, I think it was Friday.
16:33You know, I do appreciate what you're doing.
16:36I mean, you could have just tried to grab me on the stairs.
16:40Why didn't you tell me?
16:44No, Dermot, it wasn't a suggestion.
16:47Oh.
16:50Merci, urchin.
16:54Get ready to really relax.
16:57What?
16:59A chum of mine has done up a place just like this.
17:02Would you like me to give him a ring?
17:04No, this place has already been done, thank you.
17:06You must be the lucky little lady I've come about.
17:09The what?
17:11This is Jeremy, our authentic Spanish guitar player.
17:15Could I have a glass?
17:19Now, I just need to clear a bit of room on the table.
17:23Excuse me.
17:25Isn't that an organ?
17:27A lot of people say that.
17:29Yeah, that's because it's an organ.
17:31Yes, but this is really fiendish, watch.
17:33By flicking this little toggle chappy, I can change from basic organ...
17:37to piano...
17:41to flamenco guitar.
17:46That's uncanny.
17:48It's like having an orchestra in a box, isn't it?
17:50Not really.
17:52Don't mind me, you just carry on.
17:57Excuse me, would you mind?
18:02Thank you.
18:04Right, I think you're really going to like this one.
18:23Maybe we should let him back in.
18:27I was thinking of putting him out in the shed.
18:33Sorry, clipped a toggle by mistake.
18:36These are flugelhorns, by the way.
18:39They're lovely.
18:41I think I'll send him home.
18:45Ah, bit of a problem.
18:47Anybody got a flugelhorn?
18:49Ah, bit of a problem.
18:51Anybody got a screwdriver?
18:53No.
18:58Have you had enough to drink?
19:01You think I'd let you get this close if I were sober?
19:12Oh, don't spoil it, Dermot.
19:14I'm not, this is the natural position for my arm.
19:19Is this your idea of seduction?
19:21Yeah.
19:23Now, when I say go, you put your tongue in my ear.
19:29And what will you say when you want me to stop?
19:31I don't think I said anything about stopping, now did I?
19:36I think there's somebody at the door.
19:41I'm looking for somebody called Debbie.
19:44Debbie, Debbie.
19:46Now, how do you be spelling that?
19:48Big do, is it?
19:50Yeah, yeah.
19:51Already had to turn Sir Alistair Burnett away for not bringing a bottle for him.
19:54No, it's you.
19:56Oh, that Debbie.
19:58She said she had a couple of wise guys living downstairs.
20:04Hello, Deb.
20:06Dermot, this is Mike.
20:08I think we should go up to your flat and talk.
20:10We've already talked.
20:14What are all these flowers for?
20:16Well, Dermot's been trying to get my mind off of what you've been getting up to.
20:25Do you want to make something of it?
20:29All right, so I've been a bad boy, but I'm back now. Surely we can talk about this.
20:34Not now, Dermot.
20:38Right, time for a bit of a break, eh?
20:41Oh, look, Mike, I don't trust you.
20:44Will somebody get him out of here?
20:46Listen, pal, I think it's you she wants to leave, all right?
20:49I mean, I'm only guessing.
20:52All right, you two, pull your pants up, that'll do.
20:54Oh, for God's sake.
20:56Who's this?
20:57Gary, this is Mike.
20:59Mike? Well, you're Mike.
21:01Naughty Mike.
21:06You've been working abroad, haven't you?
21:08Or should I say several broads?
21:10Mike, don't.
21:12Are you all right, mate?
21:13I've had a bit of a row with my birds, so I know what you're going through.
21:16Yeah, well...
21:17You're going through women like there's no tomorrow, don't you?
21:26So, what happened after he nutted you?
21:29Well, somebody said any chance of a fill-up.
21:32I think that was Jeremy.
21:35Then I was sick on Deborah's shoes.
21:38Then Deborah threw Mike out.
21:40And I was sick on her shoes again.
21:43Poor old thing.
21:45He sounded so pathetic on the phone.
21:47Hope you weren't putting it on.
21:49No, I am genuinely pathetic.
21:52True.
21:54Thanks for coming.
21:56Does Graham mind?
21:59Actually, I'm...
22:01not seeing him any more.
22:03Oh, well, he was a dull little git, wasn't he?
22:06Well, we didn't have a lot in common.
22:08It's hard to spend a candlelit evening
22:10with someone whose two main topics of conversation
22:12are barge holidays and bowel disorders.
22:15And his taste in music.
22:18Put a record on.
22:19Yeah?
22:20What do you fancy?
22:24Barry White.
22:29Hello, Dermot.
22:30I've been hearing about your romantic evening.
22:33Yeah, it went all right.
22:34Except for the food, the drink, the organist,
22:36the violence and the vomiting.
22:40Gary?
22:42Where's your hi-fi?
22:43Here.
22:44Ah.
22:45I'm afraid I had to pawn it to pay for last night.
22:49You what?
22:50Sorry.
22:52Never mind, though.
22:53I made alternative arrangements
22:55for entertainment for the next few days.
22:57These are flugelhorns, by the way.
23:27Thank you.
