like a dead weight...

watching TV, sleeping all day,

getting arrested at weddings!

You're useless.

You're all useless.

A bunch of useless no-hopers.

Bill! Bill!

- It's Deidre Chambers.

- What a go!

- What a coincidence!

- What a coincidence!

Deidre, pull up a chair.

Penelope, shift out.

- Deidre, Victor Keinosuke

and his mate Akira.

- Hello. Hello.

All the way from China--

Uh, Japan.

Deidre's a sales representative

for Radiant Cosmetics.

- Beauty consultant, Bill.

- Sorry. Beauty consultant.

"Sales representative"

sounds so common.

I advise women on the right

lipstick, base and eyeliner.

Of course, you'd know all about make-up.

Your wives are probably geishas.

You look lovely, Deidre.

Muriel, how was that wedding?

- She was arrested.

- That's lovely.

Don't you wish you were

22 again, Betty?

Remember that age?

Oh, yes. What?

I bet you were a terror

when you were 22.

Bill, was she a terror?

Where's Charlie Chan

with that food?

Oh, yes, where is he?

Anyone? Oh, wait.

I think we've got a winner over here.

Two new bars through there.

Here she comes.

Give her a bit of a hand.

Your dad was telling me

you're unemployed, Muriel.

Would you like to work for me?

- What's wrong?

- What's the matter?

Yeah, tell us.

We won't tell anyone.

Hello.

Don't bottle it up, Tania.

You've got to let it out.

You can tell us what happened.

We won't tell anyone.

He-- He couldn't do it...

so I-- you know.

And I noticed there

was lipstick on it.

- On what?

- His dick!

He said he was having an affair.

Who with?

- Rose Biggs.

- Rose Biggs?

Well, he said they don't sleep together.

She only sucks him off.

Why?

- Out of respect for me.

- B*tch.

- Bastard.

- What am I gonna do? I'm a bride!

I'm supposed to be euphoric!

Come on the holiday with us!

Cash in your ticket to Bali

and have your honeymoon with us.

- Yeah.

- Yeah, come on, Tan.

All right.

We are gonna have the best time.

I'm so excited!

What holiday?

Just Hibiscus Island.

We didn't think that you could afford it

because you don't have a job.

Yes, I do. I got one last night.

I'm a beauty consultant.

Let's tell her. We were

gonna tell her after the holiday...

but I think we should tell her now.

- Muriel--

- Wait!

Let her finish her Orgasm.

Muriel, people think we're mad.

But that's just us.

We're ragers.

People invite us to parties, and

they know we'll just have a good time.

- We're mad.

- Party, party, party.

That's our image.

You know what I mean.

We're mad.

We don't want you

hanging around us any more.

I didn't steal the dress.

It was a mistake.

It's not the dress, it's you.

We've told you a thousand times how

to do your hair, but you never listen.
