but you're making it very difficult.

I'm not like you, Bif.

L...

I can't just...

Open up like a lotus flower.

I know when we were growing up,

showing emotions was seen as a weakness,

but in my experience,

bottling them up gets you nowhere.

This is like a bad dream

that I can't wake up from.

Mike and I were supposed to be setting off

on a cruise around the Adriatic tomorrow.

Why don't you come down with me

to my dance class next Thursday?

It might cheer you up.

I've been made to feel

enough of a fool already, thank you.

[laughs] What are you talking about'

You're a great dancer.

That was a lifetime ago.

[Sandra] Where did you get this

I had Dad's Super-B film

transferred to DVD a few years ago.

I meant to send you a copy.

Do you remember Mum sewing all

that stiff, nasty net onto the petticoat?

Mmm. I remember it. It was like...

dancing in a cheese grater.

[laughs]

What was his name again'?

Gregory Powell.

I bumped into him a few years ago

in Guildford.

Camp as Christmas.

[Bit] No surprises there, though.

I look so happy.

[Bit] You were.

[thud]

[Sandra sobbing]

Come on, we're gonna miss the warm up.

I'd be happy to miss

the whole bloody thing!

[indistinct chattering]

[Bit] Morning, everyone Sorry we're late.

Oh, here she is Lady Never Sh*t.

You didn't tell me he'd be here.

Corrinna, this is my sister, Sandra.

She's going to be joining us today,

is that all right?

[Corrinna] Yeah, of course.

Find a space, ladies.

[laughs]

- Hello, I'm Jackie.

- Oh, nice to meet you.

- You staying with Bif?

- Yes

- How long?

- Not really sure,

just taking one day at a time.

Sandra's marriage has just collapsed.

Jackie's a veteran where affairs

of the heart are concerned.

Been married five times.

First one broke down

for religious reasons.

He thought he was God. I didn't.

[Corrinna] Okay, everyone,

time to get rid of the cobwebs.

It's the only thing

that's holding Ted together.

Yeah, that and this bloody Lycra.

[laughter]

All right. Okay, everyone, form a circle.

And everyone hold hands

with their neighbour.

- Sandra?

- [Corrinna] There we go.

All right, I think we all know what to do.

[muttered responses]

You put your left leg in

Your left leg out

In out in out you shake it all about

You do the Hokey Cokey

And you tum around

And that's what ifs all about

Whoa the Hokey Cokey

Whoa the Hokey Cokey

Whoa, the Hokey Cokey

Knees bend all stretch

Ra ra ra

[Corrinna] Okay, everybody,

find your partners.

Charlie, where are you, Charlie

It's time to waltz.

Zach!

I'll be the guy, you be the girl.

["Where do you go to my lovely"

playing]

[Bif] One, two, three.

One. two, three, two. two...
