with no capacity for any emotion or thought.

Much like my Susan.

My little joke.

(chuckles)

- Off, off.

- Off, yeah, off.

Get that off, off, off, off!

Well, this is slightly more depressing

- than I'd imagined.

- Oh, no. Come one.

And you haven't even

received my bill yet. (chuckles)

(laughs)

That's a good 'un. That is a good 'un.

- An electric peppermill?

- (whirring)

I can't believe you got an electric peppermill.

We thought we had to have

at least one dinner party

to use all the crap we got bought.

At least that's a useful gift.

D'you know what I mean?

I hate those gifts where someone says,

"Do you know what I've done for you?

"I've donated to charity

on your behalf."

"Have you? Really?" Bollocks to that.

If I'm getting married, why should some

African fella get a couple of goats?

I want a f***ing smoothie maker,

d'you know what I mean?

- Did you get them goats?

- Four of them.

- Four goats?

- Yeah.

That's a lovely gift, that,

because they need goats.

African fella's pleased.

Go on, tell us about your honeymoon.

It was lovely. It was idyllic.

Morocco's beautiful.

- Amazing place, yeah.

- (Nat) Yeah.

It was just a bit long, really.

I was really sad when we came back.

(Nat) Well, things hit a low point

when we found ourselves

in the Essaouira Museum of Leather Manufacturing

discussing if we had a superpower,

what would it be?

I actually really enjoyed that.

I thought that was really fun.

(Danny) I think if I was

gonna have any superpower,

it would be the ability to speak Spanish.

That would be amazing, wouldn't it?

Because you could say stuff like,

- Hola, gazpacho.

- (Nat) You just said it.

- (Josh) You're saying it now.

- Oh, wow.

Hmm.

Not strictly speaking a superpower,

though, is it, really?

Otherwise everyone in Brazil

would be superheroes.

Mmm, true.

They speak Portuguese in Brazil.

You cock.

(laughs)

- Mmm?

- Keep it for the car.

Um, so... Wait, so, Josh,

- what did you choose?

- Boring, really. Super-strength.

That's what I would choose, too!

I think it would be so handy

to be able to open, like, jam jars.

Jam jars! That's exactly...

Isn't that exactly what I said?

- That's exactly what you said.

- (Josh) That's exactly what I said.

- That's so funny.

- That is so funny.

Are we eight years old, all of a sudden?

This is what children talk about.

All right, Nat, calm down,

we were only having a joke.

Yeah, joke's over.

Ooh. "Grounds for divorce dot com."

Shut up, you "bell-end dot-co-dot-uk".

To be honest, I'm not sure

you could get a divorce

because I'm not even sure

you're officially married.

Because they never officially split up.

(chuckling)
