00:00Music
00:05Music
00:10Music
00:15Music
00:23Music
00:27Right, you're in.
00:38As soon as the music starts, you move forward.
00:46Right, that's good.
00:48Now, Matthew's godparents come this side,
00:51and Mark's godparents come this side.
00:55That's good, that's nice.
00:56Right, we wait for the voluntary twins.
01:02After a brief word of welcome,
01:04the babies are passed to the parents.
01:06So, Matthew goes to myself.
01:10No, not me, Linda.
01:12No.
01:12For the purposes of this rehearsal,
01:14I am my brother, the Reverend Horatio Britus.
01:16I thought I'd made that clear.
01:17Sorry, I must have missed that bit.
01:19I'm Mr. Britus.
01:20All right, thank you.
01:22So, Matthew goes to me.
01:24Mark goes to Mrs. Britus.
01:33Oh, she's not here yet.
01:34She had to go into town to get a hat.
01:36Right, well...
01:37Shall I stand in for her?
01:38Right.
01:39Here we are.
01:41Right, so, I'm Mrs. Britus,
01:43and I've just given me the baby.
01:45Right, so, the parents hold on to the babies,
01:48and to...
01:48Colin, where are you going?
01:49I'm afraid we've had a bit of an accident here, Mr. Britus.
01:51I'll just get a fresh napkin from Carol.
01:54Colin, come back.
01:55I wouldn't like the little chap to be uncomfortable.
01:57It's not a real baby, Colin.
01:59What?
01:59It's a dummy.
02:00It's not the only one around this place.
02:02Are you sure?
02:03I borrowed it from Carol.
02:05It was crying quite distinctly just a minute ago.
02:08I gave it a drink.
02:08That's why it wet itself.
02:11It's a crying wet doll.
02:12You put water in one end, and it comes out the other.
02:15Excuse me, could we get on, please?
02:17It's fairly realistic, isn't it?
02:19Now, for God's sake, Colin, just hold it, will you?
02:22Right, now, when we get to the part where the vicar asks,
02:26who names this child?
02:28The chief godparent of each child steps forward
02:32and collects the babies and brings them over to the font.
02:37Well, come on, Tim.
02:38I can't take a baby.
02:39I'm holding a candle.
02:40You're not supposed to be holding a candle.
02:42If you remember, Mr. Brittus,
02:43I will, in fact, be holding the candle this afternoon,
02:45but just for this morning...
02:46Yes, all right, Colin, thank you.
02:49I'll take it, shall I, Mr. Brittus?
02:50Right, thank you, Gavin.
02:52So, Tim goes to collect one baby,
02:55and the godparent...
02:56Why is there no godparent on this side?
02:59Well, I'm over here, Mr. Brittus, being your wife.
03:02I'll come and be Laura, shall I?
03:03Thank you, Linda.
03:05Colleen, must we listen to that noise?
03:06Sorry, Mr. Brittus, I just can't seem to stop it.
03:09That's because you haven't changed its nappy.
03:12If you don't change it, it just gets louder and louder.
03:15My sister has one.
03:17Could someone take the batteries out of that thing, please?
03:19Batteries?
03:20I'll do it.
03:26Now, perhaps we can get on with the rehearsal.
03:32Well, come on, Linda, we're waiting.
03:34Me?
03:34Well, you're Laura, aren't you?
03:36Oh, yes, sorry.
03:36Well, you go and get Mark.
03:40Which one's Mark?
03:41Oh, for God's sake, they're twins.
03:42Just take one and let Tim take the other.
03:44From Colin?
03:45Yes.
03:45And is Colin Colin, or is Colin you?
03:47What?
03:47I thought I was supposed to give mine to Uncle Herbert.
03:49Who's Uncle Herbert?
03:50Mr. Brittus, I've been thinking.
03:53Look, there is no need for anyone to think.
03:55It's all perfectly simple.
03:57I'll go through it one more time.
03:59I am the Reverend Horatio Brittus.
04:02Laura is Mrs. Brittus, my wife.
04:04Colin is me, except for when he's standing over here with a candle when he is Colin.
04:08Tim is Uncle Herbert, Matthew's main godparent, who will be joining us from Godalming later.
04:12And he and Laura, who is Mark's main godparent, and who in these circumstances is Linda,
04:17come back and collect the babies from me, who is Colin, and Mrs. Brittus, who is Laura.
04:21What could be simpler?
04:22He's arrived.
04:24Right.
04:24Thank you, Julie.
04:25Who?
04:26Your brother.
04:27Says he wants to talk to you.
04:29Right.
04:29Laura, take over.
04:31Run it through one more time and try and get him to concentrate.
04:33Back in two minutes.
04:35I'll do it at the buttery zone, shall I?
04:36Colin.
04:40Yes?
04:41This is a real one.
04:49Here we go, Ben.
04:51Who's a good little boy for asking mummy?
04:54Oh, Mrs. Brittus, the cake's arrived.
04:56What?
04:57For the christening.
04:58Isn't it beautiful?
04:59If you can get someone to take you down to the sports hall, Carol, carefully.
05:03I'll guard it with my life, Mr. Brittus.
05:04Oh.
05:09Oh, my word.
05:10We have had a little rainstorm, haven't we?
05:13Mummy should have asked you earlier.
05:15If you can get this to Laura for me, please.
05:17Sorry?
05:17It's a prayer book for the rehearsal.
05:19You're a bit earlier than expected, bruv.
05:28Warden!
05:29Judy gave you a coffee, I hope.
05:31She said she'd rather not bother.
05:34Right.
05:34Good.
05:35So, what can I do you for?
05:38Well.
05:39Julie said you wanted a word.
05:41Yes.
05:42It's happened.
05:45What's happened?
05:46You don't notice anything different about me?
05:48A sort of radiance?
05:50You haven't had another visit from an angel.
05:55In a sense, I suppose I have.
05:58Her name is Philippa.
06:00She lives in Horsham.
06:02He's met a girl.
06:04Not just a girl, Gordon.
06:06I think this might be the girl.
06:08But, bruv, that's fantastic.
06:11Yes, but I've really come to ask for your advice.
06:15Advice?
06:15Of course, Horatio.
06:17Let me tell you the golden rule in these matters.
06:20Yes?
06:20I once heard a wise man say,
06:23the way to handle a woman is to love her.
06:27Simply love her.
06:29Merely love her, love her, love her.
06:33Yes, yes, I see that.
06:34I was thinking more about...
06:35You see, there's a bit of a problem.
06:40Right.
06:40Don't have a prayer book, Carol.
06:45Sorry, Laura?
06:46The prayer book?
06:46Mr Britter said he left it here.
06:48Yes.
06:49You're not going to put it in your mouth
06:50or anything like that, are you?
06:53I must say I wasn't planning to.
06:56Yes.
06:59What's happened, Carol?
07:00Absolutely nothing.
07:01Nothing.
07:03Oh, Laura, it's so awful.
07:05I'm so embarrassed.
07:06Morning, Laura.
07:07Helen!
07:08Now, tell me honestly, what do you think?
07:10This one?
07:11Or this?
07:14I want to look mature and dignified,
07:18still young, attractive and vivacious,
07:21but warm and welcoming
07:22in a womanly, wifely sort of way.
07:24You know what I mean?
07:25No, no.
07:26I'll let Gordon decide, shall I?
07:28Could you look after the twins for a minute, Carol?
07:30Oh, yes.
07:30We just pled to your room in here.
07:32Yes, I'd rather they weren't in a drawer,
07:34if you don't mind.
07:36Oh, well, there's the cupboard.
07:37I'll take them with me, shall I?
07:38Bless you, Laura.
07:39It can't be a minute.
07:40Helen?
07:40Yes?
07:41Where are they?
07:42Hmm?
07:42The children.
07:49So, what's wrong with her then?
07:51Nothing.
07:52Nothing's wrong with her.
07:53She's a wonderful person.
07:55It's just...
07:56Yes?
07:57It's just...
07:58It's just marriage is a very big step.
08:00Well, it certainly is, brav.
08:02You see, it's always struck me that your relationship with Helen is about as near perfect as it could be.
08:09Well, I am unusually blessed in that respect, Horatio, yes.
08:13So, how did you decide?
08:15Well, obviously, I was in love with Helen, Horatio, but I also asked myself certain hard questions.
08:22Questions, yes.
08:23For instance, does she share my interests?
08:26Can she manage money?
08:28Is she honest?
08:30Are we physically compatible?
08:33Of course, you're not allowed to find that out, are you?
08:37Not really, no.
08:39But the most difficult question, the one that cost me the most soul-searching, was...
08:44What sort of mother will she be to my children?
08:47Gordon, could I have a word?
08:49Not now, darling.
08:49Now, Gordon.
08:53So, she's pretty sure she had them with her in the butchers,
08:56and she thinks she still had them in the card section of Smith's.
08:59Isn't that right, Helen?
09:00Yes, I think so.
09:01It's all a bit confused.
09:02Right.
09:03So, somewhere between there and the leisure centre,
09:06she must have put them down and forgotten to pick them back up again.
09:10Laura, please.
09:12Right.
09:13The red ribbon represents the route that Mrs Bitters took.
09:18And these green circles are the places that she thinks she stopped before catching the bus.
09:24Right.
09:24Now, as you'll see, there are eight of them,
09:26so the best thing, I think, is if we each take one location.
09:30Shouldn't we call the police?
09:31The police have been notified, Timothy, but time is of essence,
09:34so anything we can do...
09:36Oh, I feel so awful.
09:37And today's just the day we need them.
09:39Yes, all right, Helen, all right.
09:42So, Linda, if you can take Smith's for me, please.
09:45Gabby Debenham's, Tim Oddbean's, Patrick Sainsbury's...
09:48Oh, um, could I do Sainsbury's?
09:50Pardon?
09:51Well, I'm planning a casserole for this evening,
09:53and if I did Sainsbury's, then I could...
09:54It doesn't matter.
09:59Julie, if you could take the Jolly Farmer for me, please.
10:02Laura Marcell's wine bar.
10:05Colin, the park.
10:06That is the bench nearest the bandstand, isn't that right?
10:10You've got a problem with that, Colin?
10:11I was just wondering how we'll recognise them, Mr Brittus.
10:14What?
10:16The twins.
10:17I was just wondering, were they wearing any distinctive clothing, for instance?
10:20I knew someone would ask that.
10:22Colin, how many sets of twins do you think get lost in Whitbury in a morning?
10:27If you see a pair, just tell us, all right?
10:28We'll call, Mr Brittus.
10:30And I shall take the Belgian chocolate shop.
10:33Now, on arrival at your respective locations,
10:36find the person in charge,
10:37and then ask them politely, please,
10:40if my wife left a pair of twins there sometime after half past ten this morning.
10:45Right, let's move.
10:46I've just had the most marvellous idea, Mr Brittus.
10:57Have you, Colin?
10:58It suddenly came to me, the best way to find anything.
11:02Yes?
11:02The one sure way to get a result.
11:05A postcard in the newsagent's window.
11:07What?
11:08Write one out for you now.
11:09It only costs a few pence, but you'd be amazed at the amount of people who see them.
11:12Well, I remember a few years back, my mother lost a very important urine sample in the bread shop.
11:18Colin, would you mind going outside and lying down in front of the minibus, please?
11:22Right away, Mr Brittus.
11:24Any particular reason?
11:25Yes, I'm driving it into town.
11:28Sorry, we are closed at the moment.
11:30If you have to come back at the weekend.
11:32Minibus keys, please, Carol.
11:33Look, you don't talk to all your customers like that.
11:36Pardon?
11:37Come back at the weekend.
11:38It's not very welcoming, is it?
11:39I'm sorry, we happen to be closed. There is a sign-up.
11:42Yes, I think we're making a bit of a presumption here, aren't we?
11:45Are we?
11:46We're presuming we know why I've come here, and we haven't actually asked, have we?
11:53Actually, we don't particularly care why you've come here.
11:57So I gathered.
11:58Well, that's what's wrong with our service industries today.
12:01We just don't take the time to find out what the other person wants, do we?
12:06As a matter of fact, I happen to be dealing with an emergency in my personal life.
12:11I've always thought personal problems should be left in the bathroom cabinet when we get into work.
12:15Look, lady, I'm not going to stand here and be lectured by the likes of you, thank you.
12:19No, no, of course.
12:20I'm just the customer, and the customer's always wrong.
12:24I wonder what your manager would say if he heard you.
12:26I'll tell you exactly what the manager would say.
12:28He'd say anyone as brainless, rude, insensitive and stupid and ignorant as you would have been taken...
12:32You've met my intended then, Gordon?
12:43Dear me, losing the children.
12:46That must be a bit of a blow, Gordon.
12:48Is there anything I can do?
12:50I don't think so, bruv.
12:53You could try explaining the situation to guests as they arrive.
12:56Right.
12:57Leave it to me.
12:59I hope you find them.
13:01What?
13:01The children in the chocolate shop.
13:03Well, obviously.
13:04Well, let's see, it looks like...
13:29...I'm going to check the enjoyed the grocery store.
13:31Morning, sir.
13:35Morning. My wife thinks she may have left two children here earlier today.
13:38Children?
13:39Yes. Have you seen them?
13:40No, I'm afraid not.
13:41Right, thanks. Bye.
13:42Mind you, I only came on at 12. I could have a look in the back.
13:45Oh, thank you.
13:48Two children, you said?
13:49Yes.
13:50Could you describe them?
13:51Pardon?
13:51Well, you know, what they look like.
13:54Twins. Three months old. Little white bonnets.
13:57White, you say?
13:58I think so.
13:59No, I'm afraid not.
14:00What do you mean?
14:02We have no babies dressed in white bonnets. You sure it was white?
14:05Well, I don't know. It could have been anything. Blue, yellow...
14:07Blue?
14:10No, nothing in blue either, I'm afraid.
14:13Let me see.
14:16There aren't any babies in there at all.
14:18I never said there were.
14:19I do not believe this.
14:21Would you like me to look upstairs?
14:23What?
14:23If any small children were left here, they'd have been taken upstairs to my wife, I should think.
14:28Would you like me to ask?
14:31So, it's two small children dressed in white bonnets, but it could be... What was it? Blue?
14:36Have you any idea how frustrating it is to be kept waiting on something as vital and urgent as this?
14:42I do, as a matter of fact.
14:43Well, perhaps you do...
14:44My daughter won the National Under-14s Gymnastic Trophy last week.
14:48What?
14:49I wasn't there to watch her, of course.
14:52I'd like to have been, but I was wearing black-soled shoes, and I wasn't allowed in.
14:57So, I went home with chains.
14:59But then I wasn't allowed in because late arrivals aren't admitted.
15:03It's a leisure centre policy.
15:05So, I never got to see my only daughter's crowning achievement, which, as you can imagine, was something of a disappointment.
15:12You haven't got any babies upstairs, have you?
15:15No.
15:16This whole thing has been a deliberate attempt to waste my time.
15:19Yes.
15:21Annoying, isn't it?
15:22Oh, any luck, Miss Briss?
15:30I'm afraid not.
15:31What about the others?
15:31Nothing definite, I'm afraid.
15:33The police have rung, and they've checked the bus station on all the number 46 buses.
15:37Still no news, Gordon?
15:38Apparently not.
15:39How are the guests?
15:40And no need to worry there.
15:41We've looked after all that, haven't we, Horatio?
15:44Yes.
15:44Right, I suppose I'd better have a word with them.
15:46Down in the hall, are they?
15:47No, no.
15:47We decided, as we were already an hour late for the service,
15:51that the best thing to do would be to send them home.
15:54We don't want to go wasting other people's time, do we, Gordon?
15:57I mean, who knows what other commitments these people might have.
16:01It's a question of manners, as much as anything.
16:04You told my guests to go home.
16:06Philippa did explain.
16:08They were pretty astonished, of course.
16:10How anyone can lose two babies on a bus is beyond her.
16:13As I gather from Horatio, she's always been a bit like that.
16:16We wondered if you'd considered fostering.
16:19What did she say?
16:21Ah, Helen.
16:22I don't think we've met, have we?
16:24Helen.
16:25Philippa Belmont.
16:26Has she been telling people I can't look after my own children?
16:29Helen.
16:29Well, dear.
16:30You've managed to leave them on a bus.
16:32I suppose you've never left anything on a bus, Miss Perfect.
16:36Helen, please.
16:37There's nothing personal about this.
16:39We just have to accept that not all women are suited to parenting.
16:42You cow!
16:43Helen, don't do that.
16:44She called me a bad mother.
16:45I think the phrase she actually used.
16:46But nobody calls me a bad mother.
16:48Holy cow, stop it.
16:50Mr. Richards?
16:51Not now, Harold.
16:52I told you we can't afford another lawsuit.
16:54I lift the peace, Mr. Richards.
16:56Linda, into the restroom.
16:58Get it cleaned up, please.
16:59Sorry about this, Horatio.
17:01You stay here, Helen.
17:04Speaking.
17:05Right, I'll ask her.
17:06Was it a 46?
17:07What?
17:08Did you say you caught a 46 bus?
17:10Yes, have they found them?
17:10Helen, a 46 goes up the Crompton Road to the Council Estate.
17:13Doesn't go anywhere near the top end of the High Street.
17:16Doesn't it?
17:16You got on at the World Memorial, didn't you?
17:18Yes, yes, I did.
17:19Yes, not a 46, it's a 64.
17:22Sorry, my wife has realised a mistake.
17:24She did, in fact, take a 64 bus.
17:27Right, well, hang on.
17:28Perhaps I ought to apologise.
17:30What?
17:30To Philippa.
17:31I think you've done quite enough for one day.
17:33You're so awful, Gordon.
17:35I ought to say something.
17:37All right, but for goodness sake, be tactful about it.
17:39Yes, I'm hanging on for Sergeant Fanshawe.
17:44I know this is an emergency line.
17:45This is an emergency.
17:47Don't you dare.
17:49Hello?
17:52Boys, where did you find them?
17:53What?
17:54Where were they?
17:54Oh, these aren't the children, Mr. Britters.
17:56Oh, no, no, no, no.
17:56It's just that Devlin's had a special offer on duvets.
17:59Does anyone realise what is happening here today?
18:03Do you have the faintest idea what my wife is going through at the moment?
18:06Oh, no, no, no, no.
18:11Don't you dare.
18:12I'm warning you.
18:13Have you?
18:15Helen, out.
18:16Not a...
18:17Interception.
18:18Well, I'm not...
18:19Interception.
18:21Does she stand there next to Carol?
18:23Tim, Gavin, lend the hand.
18:24Over to the chair, please, Horatio.
18:26Towels, I think, Linda.
18:28Your wife rather lost her temper in there, Gordon.
18:31Well, she is under a certain amount of strain at the moment.
18:33All I said...
18:34We know what you said.
18:35It might be wise if you didn't say it again.
18:37I have a little prayer for moments like this.
18:40Let's deal with the practicalities first, shall we, bruv?
18:42Get her clothes off, Gabby.
18:44No right to call you that.
18:46I agree, Miss Chris.
18:47I mean, what does she know about being a good mother?
18:49Exactly.
18:50As if we don't know what's best for our own children.
18:53I'd wear this, though, can't I?
18:54Yes, I suppose she's.
18:55What's he saying now?
18:57She's still worried about an earring, Mr. Britters.
18:59But I've explained about that.
19:00It's obviously gone down the lavatory.
19:02What do you expect this to do?
19:03It's gone.
19:03Perhaps if we all held hands for a moment.
19:06Some other time, bruv.
19:07Let's get her upstairs and disinfected, all right?
19:10Gabbing J's fluid, I think.
19:11Yes, Mr. Britters.
19:12Could you make it that far?
19:13Do you want to be sick again first?
19:14Who's a bad mother?
19:15Mr. Britters, it's the children.
19:28What?
19:28The children.
19:29Mr. and Mrs. Rostrup found them.
19:30Oh, my babies.
19:34Apparently, they saw a card in a news agent's window.
19:37LAUGHTER
19:38Would you let anyone run, George?
19:53I'm not a water.
19:54Hello.
19:55Hello.
19:55Hello.
19:57Hey.
19:59Well, all's well that ends, well, eh?
20:02Well, it could have been worse.
20:03I suppose Mr. Britters did get his christening.
20:06Christening?
20:06How many did we do in the end?
20:07Five, if you include the dummies.
20:09That was all my fault.
20:10You mustn't blame yourself, Colin.
20:11Right, you did give Mrs. Britters a bit of a shock.
20:13It's not every day somebody stops your baby crying by pulling its head off and ripping
20:16out the bathroom.
20:18Well, I think if anyone's to blame, it's that woman the Reverend Britters brought.
20:21She started it all.
20:22If she hadn't have stayed, she wouldn't have been sick in the font.
20:24No, and we wouldn't have had to move out to sports, though.
20:26And those poor children wouldn't have been christened in the washbasin in the downstairs lavatory.
20:30And it's all on video.
20:32I reckon I've got an entire episode for Jeremy Beedle there.
20:35I'll get us another one of these.
20:37I think there's a few dozen left.
20:39I'll come with you.
20:42Oh, is that the cake, Carol?
20:43It looks rather good, doesn't it?
20:45No, do you think so?
20:46Do you think you could pass it round, perhaps, make sure everyone gets a slice?
20:49Oh, yes, of course.
20:52I wonder if I should go and explain things to Philippa.
20:57I don't think so, Helen.
20:58I don't want her to think I'm always like this.
21:00You still reckon it was the new pills?
21:02Oh, I'm sure of it.
21:04Mind you, she had no right to call me a bad mother.
21:07Pills or no pills, she had no right to say that.
21:10Absolutely no right at all, in fact.
21:12I think I'll just go ahead and tell you.
21:17Excuse me.
21:18Oh, Mr Britters.
21:19I was wondering where I might find my brother.
21:22I think he's looking for your fiancée's earring.
21:25Right.
21:26It's just that he's promised he'd find time to talk to me.
21:29I wonder, do you think I should join him?
21:32On your own?
21:34Yes.
21:34I don't think you'd mind that at all.
21:39My word, Carol.
21:41What did they put in this?
21:42What?
21:43What about it?
21:45It's got a real tang, hasn't it?
21:47Oh, no, I couldn't.
21:51How's it going?
22:02Well, it's not in the U-band.
22:04It must have flushed through to the next section.
22:06Right.
22:07I just wondered if you'd had a chance to think about it at all.
22:10What?
22:11What I was talking about earlier.
22:13Whether I should marry Philip or not.
22:15Oh, that.
22:16You don't like her, do you?
22:19Well.
22:20People don't in general.
22:22That's why I wondered whether marriage was really a good idea.
22:25I think most people would hesitate, bruv.
22:27What no one realises, you see, is that's not the whole story.
22:31I know she rubs a lot of people up the wrong way,
22:34but it's what's inside that matters, isn't it?
22:36Is it?
22:37And inside, there's a really caring person.
22:41I know it doesn't always come out,
22:43but she has standards, you see.
22:45She believes things.
22:47She's like you in that respect, Gordon.
22:49She wants perfection.
22:51It's what attracted me to her in the first place.
22:54It's...
22:55It's why I love her.
22:58Are you sure about that?
23:00Oh, yes.
23:01But should I marry her?
23:04That, as I once heard a wise man say, is the question.
23:17Julie?
23:18Yeah?
23:19Can I ask you something as a secretary?
23:21Hmm?
23:22Is correcting fluid dangerous at all?
23:25Correcting fluid?
23:26Yes, you know, if someone accidentally...
23:28Etit.
23:29Etit?
23:30Yes.
23:31I think you'd better turn more out than Carol.
23:36I think I'll go home, Laura.
23:38What, staying for the karaoke?
23:39Yeah, I think I'll just get an early night.
23:41It's been a long day.
23:42If you could just tell Gordon.
23:43Yeah, sure.
23:45See you tomorrow.
23:45OK, bye.
23:48Helen?
23:48Sorry about this, everyone.
24:05Um, any of you who have had a slice of the christening cake, um, could you please come down to this end of the hall?
24:11Well, thank you very much.
24:13Thank you very much.
24:19Knock, knock.
24:20Come in, Laura.
24:21Helen asked me to tell you that she's gone home.
24:24Right.
24:24Oh, and Carol says, did you have any of the cake?
24:27I haven't eaten anything, Laura.
24:29Why?
24:30Oh, nothing.
24:30Is everything all right?
24:35All right?
24:36Does everything seem all right, Laura?
24:37I was really looking forward to today.
24:40It was meant to be a celebration of new life being accepted into the great world family of sport.
24:45Yeah.
24:46And what do I end up with?
24:48A service being held in the toilet?
24:51Half drowned out with the sound of the rhinos?
24:54A party with no guests?
24:56And three hours with me hands and knees up to me armpits in a soil pipe?
25:00And it's all her fault?
25:03I'm sure Helen didn't mean to leave...
25:05I'm not talking about Helen.
25:06Helen, anyone could have made the mistake she did.
25:08I'm talking about that woman my brother insisted on bringing.
25:12Oh.
25:13You know, Laura, there are some people in this world, mercifully not too many,
25:17who can walk into a building full of happy, contented people and just create chaos.
25:25They probably don't mean to.
25:26In fact, they're probably trying to help.
25:28But the end result?
25:29Know what I mean?
25:31Yes, I think I do.
25:32And that woman is a typical example.
25:37She's a social equivalent of an uncapped oil well in a Guillemot colony.
25:42And my brother wants to marry her.
25:45Does he?
25:46That's why I came here today.
25:48To ask me if I thought it was a good idea.
25:50What did you say?
25:51What could I say, Laura?
25:52The man loves her.
25:53I said I hope we'll be very happy together.
25:55Well, isn't he worried about living with someone like that?
25:59Apparently not, Laura.
26:01Events will change.
26:02Learn by her mistakes.
26:03I see.
26:04It's another occasion to look forward to, isn't it?
26:09Come on.
26:10We'd better get back down to the party.
26:12Right.
26:12You don't think he might be right?
26:18What?
26:20That people like that can change.
26:22You know, learn not to annoy everyone all the time.
26:26Frankly, no, Laura.
26:28People like that don't change.
26:29They're bored like it and they'll die like it.
26:32The rest of us just have to knuckle down and learn to live with them.
26:37That's a shame.
26:38It's a tragedy, Laura.
26:41Yes.
26:42Yes, it is, Laura.
26:46Yes, it is, Laura.
27:13Yes, I see.
