Man Up Page #4

Descending in quality as we do.

I'd go quality and quantity, Bert.

It's a massive night.

You're right. We bloody deserve it.

Let's go mental.

Seriously, you do deserve it.

I don't know how you've done it.

Not that I don't intend to go

the whole distance myself, obviously.

I think the trick is, get through

the first 30, 40 years,

then just kind of give up.

From that point on it's a breeze.

- No, I mean it.

- How are we getting on?

- We are nailing it.

- That's great.

You can put about

half those lagers back, Adam.

What does Nancy want to drink?

- I'm not sure if...

- She wants vodka.

The only spirit she can out-drink me on.

We'll see about that later.

No, we won't.

Guys, she didn't even answer the phone.

Some man did. I think she's on a date.

The man from last night?

I thought that didn't work out.

It didn't. It was a disaster.

- He was in love with his sister.

- Who answered the phone, then?

Dad, I don't know.

He said he wasn't a psychopath.

Well, that sounds encouraging.

We're having a party. She's on a date.

I'm thinking she's gonna bring him.

- Bert!

- If he's not a psychopath.

Did he sound like a wine drinker

or more of a beer man?

Bert!

- I'm just getting some more wine.

- Course you are.

The good host is prepared

for all eventualities.

Come on, Pattersons, clock's ticking.

Fran, you walk straight past that offer.

So, what's going on? Is Nancy OK?

Yes. Yes, Mum, she's fine. She's just...

- He's looking forward to her speech.

- I know.

- So she is coming?

- Yes, of course she's coming.

Look, do you want me to write

a few words? You know, just in case.

Not really, darling, no.

Oh, God. That is horrible.

I'm sorry.

- I'll give her a call, then.

- Yes, please do, darling.

Ah...

- You OK? You seem a bit freaked out.

- Do I?

Yeah.

Gosh. Sorry, just bit of

a first-date no-no...

Oh, my God, that's embarrassing.

- Oh, it's Tom.

- Oh.

Hey, buddy.

Yeah, I'm here. I'm with Jessica.

Yeah, we're on the South Bank.

Yeah, d'you wanna speak to her?

Alright.

We will.

Yeah. OK, Tom.

Yeah, I'm gonna hang up now.

Yeah, OK. Bye. Bye.

- He thought we hadn't met up.

- As if.

- Shall we switch these things off?

- Yeah. OK, good.

Right. So, Jessica.

So...

- Tom says that you work in the City.

- I do, yeah. That's what I do.

- Is that a stressful job?

- Ah, no.

"Lunch is for wimps."

Sorry.

- No, no, it's from Wall Street.

- Yeah.

"If you need a friend, get a dog."

I love that movie.

- You do?

- Yeah, it's one of my favourites.

- And you are a...?

- I'm an online marketing manager.

I love online marketing managing.

What I really wanna do is paint.

I don't wanna be an online
