Not you, not you, never you.

Not at all. Come on, off you go.

Don't forget to call me when you

get there. Always go out in groups.

If you get homesick, come home.

And try and find a good taxi service.

Because some of them

have women-only drivers.

Women-only drivers, got it.

Anything else?

Be yourself, you're lovely.

Oh!

Hi, honey, I'm home.

Hello, Rumps. Come here.

Hello, darling.

What shall we do

this afternoon, eh?

Let's get drunk.

Hi, honey, I'm home.

You can hide all you like.

I've spotted you and we should

get a start on your last week.

Yes, of course.

Good morning, Doreen.

It has always been our good

fortune to share the same train.

No rest for the wicked, Mr Jones.

Doreen, after all these years, after

everything we've been through,

are you still refusing

to call me Richard?

Yes! Now, you have a ten o'clock

meeting with the new owners.

- Yeah.

- Any idea who they are?

Hmm...

Young is all I know, Doreen.

I took your advice on their

pension share offer.

- I took them up on it.

- What? The whole lot?

Yes, lots of us did. Janice in

Accounts, Marcus in Payroll.

Well, it's a solid offer.

Now, you have a prostate

check at 2:
15 today.

I'm gonna miss these

little chats, Doreen.

I thought my leaving

party was on Friday.

I don't think this is

a party, Mr Jones.

- It's all gone, Richard. The lot!

- What?

Morning, everyone.

Richard, what's going on?

I don't know, Janice.

I have no idea.

- Did you know about this?

- No, of course not, Marcus.

- Is this legal? Can they just do this?

- Yes, of course they can.

Now, wait a minute.

We don't know that.

Just... just give me

some time here, please.

- Will we get paid this month?

- Yes, of course you will.

- Did you know this was coming?

- Of course he didn't!

Someone said the shares are

worthless. Is that true?

- No.

- Yes.

Jesus!

I suppose they'll let us in at some point.

To collect our things, I mean.

Doreen, I promise you,

I will sort this out.

Everyone, listen up! I promise you

I'll get to the bottom of this.

I will find out what's going on

but I just need some time, OK?

What are we supposed to do now?

- How?

- But, Richard, what can you do?

I... I don't know,

but I promise you,

I will make sure that every one

of you gets what they're due.

I will not, will not, let you down.

OK, Jean-Baptiste, here I come.

I am interested in the, er...

the arts and culture.

I love travel and adventure

and generally being...

spon-tan-eous.

Whoosh!

Oh, God!

'Finally, after heavy bidding, a diamond

has been sold today at Sotheby's

'for a record 10.8 million.'

Blimey!

'Known in the trade as the Eye of the Rainbow
