- You said it was just us.

I'll see who it is.

Hi it's Nick I'm sorry to disturb you

but I've got the finalised electrics spec

Oh, sure. Come up.

Hi. I'm sorry. I was just passing by.

No, come in. No, that's great.

Erm... this is my brother, Troy.

Hey.

I thought you might like to look at them.

You're the expert.

Thanks. Can I get you a drink or anything?

Erm... yeah.

Miranda, are we gonna eat or what?

TV:
- exactly why that should change anything

- It just does

Erm... maybe another time?

OK, that would be nice.

Well, leave these with me,

and we can talk about them on Monday.

OK.

See you.

- Sorry about that. It's just...

- Oh, don't worry.

Hey, he's a teenager.

Troy!

- New boyfriend?

- No, he's a client.

Brendan says pain's a gift

as well as a curse.

He had a breakdown. Did you know?

No.

He says therapists are no good.

He did exercise.

- Yeah, well, you know.

- Everyone's different.

Have you been seeing him a lot, then?

Yeah, he's gonna take me jogging.

Jogging? You're not into jogging.

Brendan says he hurt you. Did he?

No.

- Hi, Mum!

- Hello, darling!

- How was he?

- Up and down.

But isn't it wonderful about Kerry?

Brendan's marvellous.

Things haven't always been easy for her.

Don't spoil it.

- What would I do?

- All right, Mum?

Hi.

You look lovely, as always.

They're in the garden. I'll be in the kitchen.

BRENDAN:
That isn't always best, Kerry,

as you well know.

Hey, Brendan!

All right, Troy?

Over here.

Come on, Kerry. Show us what you can do.

Ah, hello, darling!

Ah, mwah!

Now, are you all right about all of this?

Because, if you're not,

I'll chuck him out of the house!

I'm fine, but thanks, anyway.

To be honest, I'd rather like to.

He's so damn hearty.

- OK, everyone! Salad's up.

- Oh, darling, that's lovely.

- Marcia, that looks sensational!

- Thank you, Brendan.

KERRY:
Oh, Mum, they look great.

Come on, Kerry.

Now everyone's here, let's do it.

Oh, no.

Gather round, all ye Cottons.

We've got an announcement to make.

And I think we should get it over with,

and then we can get totally plastered.

I know that we're only five weeks

into this whirlwind romance,

and some might think that's a bit speedy.

But all I can say is,

when you know, you know.

Erm... so, without further ado...

Last night I took Kerry out to dinner,

and I regret to say, I caused a bit

of a sensation before the dessert!

Erm... I knelt down beside her,

and I asked Kerry to marry me.

And I am delighted to report...

that she said yes.

DAD:
Oh, goodness!

What a surprise!

MUM:
Oh, sweetheart!

- Well done, Brendan! Well done.

- I'm so pleased!

- I know beers are normal for barbecues,
