The Love Punch Page #2

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

because of its distinctive colouring in the light

"it was bought at auction in New York.

Today's buyer wishes to remain anonymous.

'However, Sotheby's says the buyer plans...

'...for the stone

to be the centrepiece of a necklace...

Or to be sold for starving children.

'...for one lucky lady likely

to be extremely happy

'with her gift this evening.

"Coming up on Sky News at seven...'

Oh, bloody hell!

OK.

Ken, I'm coming for you.

Oh, twice in one week.

What have I done to deserve this?

- Kate, we need to talk.

- Not now, Richard. I'm busy.

- Please, I just need to...

- Hello!

- Hello, Ken.

- Look, no flowers!

Well done!

- Oh, it's you again.

- Ken. Again, hi.

Kate, I need to speak to you.

- I'll see you...

- Yes...

OK, great.

Looking forward.

- Have you been drinking?

- No... Yes.
