above everything, everything!

Till this is done and dusted,

put to bed, laid to rest,

nobody does f***ing nothing

but this.

This is where we are.

Here. Now.

This.

Where's f***ing Meredith?

- He's late.

- Late?

Late?

No such f***ing word.

And I'll tell you this,

if Brighton Billy

God rest his tortured soul

had ever caught anyone

being late,

he would've cut

their eyelids off,

stuck 'em in a f***ing sack

with a snake, a cockerel,

and a dog,

and chucked 'em

in the f***ing sea.

Charming.

- That was how it was.

And believe you me,

once he'd made up his mind,

that was it.

That was it.

Nothing could sway him,

nothing.

No surrender.

Immovable, he was,

immovable!

A mountain.

A f***ing colossus.

You hear me, Colin?

- I just can't believe it.

I can't.

Anybody want any crisps?

- Salutee.

- You're late!

- So sue me.

God.

F*** me.

Dj vu.

You enjoying those?

- F*** off.

- So what's happening, kittens?

- More of the same.

- How are you feeling today,

Colin?

You look terrible.

- He's good.

He's f***ing strong.

- Oh, that's good.

That is good.

He don't look it.

- No, he's all right.

- Yeah, better than he was

last night.

Here, Meredith,

I bumped into Biggy Walpole

this morning.

He was asking after you.

- Was he?

Now, that's funny.

He hates me.

- Does he?

Didn't seem like it.

- Is he a poof and all?

- Not sure.

Is he, Arch?

- Who? Biggy?

I don't think so.

- Arch doesn't think so, Peanut.

- Ha.

- What was he wearing?

- Don't know.

A jacket?

- I get waves...

- Jacket, eh?

- Up and down.

- Tweedy.

- I mean,

look at the f***ing state of me.

- Tweedy, eh?

- All I ever did was love her.

Maybe I loved her too much.

Maybe that's it.

Liz?

It's me.

I'm home.

Here he is.

He's bearing gifts.

Look.

Look what I got you.

Avril's been at it again,

f***ing up big style.

She's useless.

Almost cost us a sale

on an XKR Jag.

F***ing hell,

last week the Saab,

this week the Jag.

I gave her a verbal warning,

told her if

she didn't buck up her ideas,

she'd be out the showroom.

I'll stick her desk in

the backyard beside the khazi.

Liz, love, what's wrong?

What is it?

What's the matter?

What's up?

What's happened?

- Colin.

- Liz, love, what's wrong?

- I'm so sorry.

- What you sorry for?

What you

what you sorry for, Liz?

- I'm sorry, Colin.

- So you said.

You've said that.

I've got that.

What you sorry for, Liz?

You're scaring me, Liz.

- I've met someone else.

- What?

You're kidding.

- I'm sorry.

- Someone else?

I- I don't understand.

I've just come in

through the door,

and now I'm...

Now I'm, um...

Met someone else?

I know what you're all thinking.
