He's like me.

That's what worries me.

Excuse me?

I said, "That's what worries me."

Ben will not let you down. Will you?

I hope he's versatile.

Florence is very versatile.

I can dance anything.

I can dance tango, I can dance jive,

I can dance foxtrot.

I can dance swing. I can dance

rock 'n' roll and Lindy hop.

I can dance anything, really.

She can dance anything, really.

She's studying ballet for a week

in Paris next year.

That's in France. Oh, you see?

She's a genius in geography too.

Well, we'll leave you two to it.

Make magic.

Some really "wow" moments, please.

Yeah. Yeah. Can we have some

really "wow" moments, please?

I just said that.

Well, we haven't got long,

so I've made a rehearsal plan.

The thing is, Florence,

I'm so good at dancing,

I like to let my partners rehearse

on their own first, you know?

So they can get up to speed.

I don't need to "get up to speed".

I know every dance there is.

Do you though? Do you know

the quicktrot?

The rumbum?

Can you do the shimmy shammy?

You've made those up.

You learn those and

I'll see you in a week. Bye.

Ben!

Oh, and don't forget

the Spanish otter.

This is amazing.

I was just a girl when it all began.

I was from a very poor family.

Growing up, I'd never even seen

diamonds and sapphires,

rubies like this.

Oh! Look at it.

Buried under the ground

for billions of years.

What a beauty.

And once I got a taste for

stealing them, I couldn't stop.

Every one of these

has its own story.

What about this one?

Ah, I stole that from

a rich American heiress

when I was working below decks

on an ocean liner.

Wow.

And that one?

From a castle

in deepest, darkest Russia.

It belonged to the last tsarina.

Wow, it's enormous.

What was that? What was what?

I thought someone was

outside the window.

I think your mind's

playing tricks on you.

Now, this is the biggest one.

From a maharani in India, no less.

I had to scale the wall

of their palace.

How? Well,

I climbed onto the back

of an elephant

and shimmied up its trunk,

right into the maharaja's chamber.

You must have half the police

in the world looking for you.

Oh, yes. They couldn't catch me.

But they gave me a name.

The Black Cat.

The Black Cat.

Hold on. So how did you end up

living in a small house

with a broken telly?

Oh, I never sold any of it.

That's the way you get caught.

No, I stole for the sport,

but when your dad came along

40 years ago, I gave it up.

Had to be a mum, not

an international jewel thief.

Now, how about a nice game

of Scrabble?

What? You can't play Scrabble.

You're like someone

from one of those songs

I'm not allowed to listen to.

You're a gangsta.
