to go go-karting, I'd have taken them.

- Well, there's always next month.

- Yeah.

What did you do the rest of the time?

Not much, but I'd booked

that hotel for two days.

Should have come back

on Saturday, really.

- This can't be winter already, eh?

- I know.

- Got you something.

- What?

They were a bit of a gamble

so I hope you like them.

Jeans?

Yeah. I was just going round

a few shops on Saturday killing time

and I saw a girl buying them.

She was your size, I think.

I thought you might like them.

- I do like them.

- They're Levi's.

Hmm!

- What do you think?

- Hmm, walk around in 'em a bit.

Do they look good on me?

They look a bit long.

Let me try something.

Give us a twirl.

- They look really good.

- Really?

Really.

I can't wait to show my dad.

At least I made somebody happy

this weekend, huh?

Thanks, Hugh. It's really good of you.

Just glad you like them.

Erm...

Look, I should go.

How much do I owe you for the petrol?

Oh, I never looked.

Hmm.

- You OK, Hugh?

- Aye. Just tired.

- Don't you want to guess?

- No, just tell me.

- 38.88.

- All the eights.

- Are you sure?

- Yeah.

- Another hug.

- OK.

- Big hug.

- Yeah.

Just let me hold you. Please.

I don't know what I'd do

if you weren't here.

Well, I am here.

I'll see you next time.

You don't have to do that now.

Do you want to freeze?

I've got the heater.

It's cosier without it in a way.

How can it be cosier?

Because you have to wear

lots of clothes

and cuddle up at night.

Shell, I can't be doing with you

touching me all the time.

We'll have to, you know, think about

getting you a dog or something. OK?

Make sure he's lame.

So he can't run away.

It's cold.

Yeah, I know.

Is your dad here?

Inside.

Do you want to go for a drive?

I'm... working.

I can't just leave whenever I like.

Why not?

Do you want to come inside?

Dad.

Dad, we've got company.

This is Adam.

Adam works at the sawmill.

This is my dad, Pete.

- Hello.

- Hello. How you doing?

Sit down.

I'll make us some coffee.

Are you cold?

No.

The heating broke last night.

There's a heater in the shop.

I can bring it through.

Do you want me to get it?

Yeah. OK.

Is coffee part of the service now?

He'll hear you.

I can often be heard

in my own home.

There's fine. Just leave it there.

Take a seat.

How's business?

Ticking over.

We picked up a car on Friday.

- Deer strike?

- Yeah.

There'll be more

because the winter's here.

They come looking for food.

There's sugar there.

Hmm.

- Adam works at the sawmill.

- Aye, you said.

Yeah.

Yeah, there was a break-in

on Friday night.

Oh, no. What did they steal?

Er, five chain saws. Brand new.
