and...
that naughty little
Justin Timberlake.
I know you can dance.
- No, no, I can't.
- Can!
No, I can't.
Can!
No, I really can't.
You bloody well can!
'He loved her and
longed for her to love him back
a lot of problems.
'For one thing, unlike Mr Hoppy,
Mrs Silver didn't live alone.
'Well, she did for a while, but
then she did something about it.'
Ooh, ooh, ooh!
Oh! Well, hooray!
This is honestly the most
exciting moment of my life.
Come in. Come in!
'She just went
and got herself a new chap.'
A chap called Alfie.
Well... you are more gorgeous than
I could possibly have dreamed.
Oh, my darling. What heaven.
We're going to have
such a wonderful life together.
'From then on,
Mrs Silver dedicated all her love
'and attention to her
wrinkly companion.
'And although he wasn't the
world's greatest conversationalist,
for the both of them.'
Look, Alfie,
that's me on my wedding day.
I'm not so sure about that dress
any longer.
Rather too much bust, I think
you'll agree.
Oh, and that chap there -
that's my husband.
Look how tall he is. 6'3".
I only came up to his chest hair.
I never once saw
the top of his head.
More a giant than a man.
A wonderful posture.
He was a perfect English gent...
and a prize-winning dancer.
Oh, he was so, so kind.
The things we were going to do.
And the...
places we were going to go
and the...
...life we were going to lead.
Oh, that's enough of me gabbing on.
You must be exhausted.
Time for your nap, my gorgeous.
I love you so much. I really do.
Our love will last a lifetime,
Alfie.
Sweet dreams.
'Oh, how Mr Hoppy wished
she was saying those words to him.'
Not the ones about the little
stubby legs, obviously,
but the others, about love.
His life was now terribly
complicated -
head over heels in love with
a woman whose only interest in life
was a small tortoise.
If only he could find the words
to convince her of his love.
If only I'd been paying attention.
That's the problem with stories.
You get swept up in them,
you lose track.
Does he get anywhere?
Does she fall in love with him?
You're going to have to wait,
I'm afraid.
Mr Hoppy knew
he had to say something.
He had to tell her how he felt.
Hello.
Again.
Isn't this perfect?
Grab joy while you can, I say.
Oh...
You're right, completely right.
And I was... just thinking...
wondering, uh...
whether...
And the thing of it is,
we've been neighbours for years.
You live alone and I live alone...
I just wondered whether...
...you know...
Oh, no, you're...
You're right, best,
