00:00I've put some leftovers together for your supper, Brenda.
00:08Oh, how thoughtful.
00:11That reminds me.
00:12Some young lout threw up on my doorstep last night.
00:17Perhaps Eric could clear it up when he dropped me off.
00:20Off a cliff, hopefully.
00:22Come on, Brenda, let's get you moving.
00:24Eric, have you checked the tyre pressure?
00:26You can't cut corners on safety, not even on the shortest trip.
00:29There you go.
00:30Oh, he's a good boy.
00:32It's a pity he doesn't have a better home life.
00:36You know, Kitty, when I was raising children,
00:40there was only one type of woman who went out to work.
00:45All right, Eric, that's enough.
00:47Cars are fine.
00:48Well, I thought you said you want me to...
00:49What I want is to see your bumper disappearing down the drive.
00:52Well, here we are, then.
01:00You don't like it when I pay a visit, do you?
01:03No, no, no, I do. I really do.
01:05That is a lie, Eric.
01:08You didn't learn to lie from your father.
01:10That comes from your mother.
01:12You know, that is the problem.
01:14Every time you come over, you spend the entire day criticising my mum.
01:18Well, call a spade a spade, if that's what you mean.
01:21What I mean is, why do you have to be so nasty?
01:25Would it absolutely kill you to be nice for one whole day?
01:27Oh, God.
01:57Hey, Eric, why is your gran sleeping in the car?
02:26She's not sleeping.
02:27She's dead.
02:32Eric, don't.
02:33No, no, no, really, she's dead.
02:36What?
02:38What are you talking about?
02:40Well, I was driving her home,
02:43I shouted at her,
02:45and she died.
02:48She died?
02:50Oh, my God, what did your dad say?
02:53I'm not about to go and tell Ron that I killed his mother.
02:55Eric, everybody deals with these things in her own way.
03:00But this is a bit strange.
03:01You need to do something.
03:03Hi.
03:04Eric, Donna.
03:06Eric, I think I've left my 8-track in the car.
03:08Maguire?
03:08All right there, Ron's mum.
03:11Just sit back a bit.
03:12I think my 8-track's in there.
03:14Maguire?
03:16She's dead.
03:17You too.
03:21Here we go again.
03:23Oh, Maguire, it's no chosen at college today.
03:26Oh, Maguire, Eric's grand dead in the car.
03:30Well, not today, my friends.
03:32Oh, Maguire is wise to you.
03:34Do you know what they're saying about you, Ron's mum?
03:37Oh, yeah.
03:38There we go.
03:41You're a bit close there, Ron's mum.
03:45Guys?
03:46Maguire, I told you she's dead.
03:51Oh, my God.
03:53I think she's dribbled on me.
03:55Oh, my God.
03:58Oh, my God.
04:00Oh, my God.
04:01Look, Eric, you're in shock.
04:06You need to go inside and tell Ron right now.
04:10This isn't by any chance one of those things
04:12that you could ask a close friend to do for you.
04:15Eric, please, just go inside.
04:17Oh, my God.
04:17Oh, my God.
04:17Oh, my God.
04:18Oh, my God.
04:19Oh, my God.
04:20Oh, my God.
04:21Oh, my God.
04:22Oh, my God.
04:23Oh, my God.
04:24Oh, my God.
04:25Oh, my God.
04:26Oh, my God.
04:27Oh, my God.
04:28Oh, my God.
04:30Oh, my God.
04:31Oh, my God.
04:32Oh, my God.
04:33Oh, my God.
04:34Oh, my God.
04:37Oh, my God.
04:40Mum?
04:41Oh, what's this?
04:43The leftover of the leftovers.
04:46Oh, untouched.
04:48Typical.
04:49She's just showing me how much she hates me.
04:54Mum, I think you might be being a little bit hard on Grandma.
04:57Oh, no, no, no. She's an evil woman.
05:02So, what was she saying about me this time?
05:04Not much.
05:07So, did he get your grandma home okay?
05:10Actually, Dad, a funny thing happened.
05:15Although it wasn't funny, ha-ha.
05:19This is where I get lost. How exactly did she hit her head?
05:23She fell on the pavement.
05:25Well, I opened the door for...
05:26What the hell were you thinking of when he did that?
05:29Oh, that's right, Ron. Shout at him.
05:31As if his grandma dying hasn't upset him enough.
05:33Eric, take your mother inside. She's getting hysterical.
05:35I am not hysterical!
05:37Actually, Dad, I wanted to talk to you.
05:39When I was in the car with Grandma, I was kind of talking to her and...
05:42Son, this is no time to get upset.
05:44Oh, well, Ron, when is the time?
05:46All right, I'll handle this.
05:48You look after your mother.
05:50This is a terrible loss.
05:51Mom, you just said she was evil.
05:52I said no such thing.
05:56Oh, shit.
06:08Sweetheart, I'm so glad you're here.
06:10Yeah, me too.
06:11My dissertation was due in this week.
06:13Oh, darling, I'm sorry.
06:15No, no, this couldn't have come at a better time.
06:18I hadn't even started.
06:21But I do really miss Granny.
06:25We all do, dear.
06:28Mom, why are you baking so much bread?
06:30Is there some sort of shortage?
06:33Busy hands are happy hands.
06:35How did your brother take it?
06:38Well, you know, Paul, he started talking about how he felt.
06:44And I thought I heard him snuffling, so I hung up.
06:47I'm not paying to listen to that.
06:48It's peak rate.
06:52I think Uncle Paul is really cool.
06:55He's so in touch with his emotions.
06:57He isn't afraid to think through his feelings.
07:00Yeah, it's just a pity he talked through his arse.
07:06Eric, it doesn't matter what you said to your grandmother.
07:08You didn't kill her.
07:09Yes, I did, Donna.
07:11She was very, very old.
07:13And the shock of her grandson telling her she was nasty killed her.
07:16Have you talked to Ron about this?
07:17I'm not going to go and talk to my dad about this.
07:19I mean, you know how angry he gets when I forget to rake the lawn.
07:22This is different.
07:23Yes, this is different.
07:25This time I killed his mother.
07:27But, Eric, I just think that...
07:28Look, I don't want to talk about it anymore.
07:30Eric, you need to talk about this.
07:32You don't understand.
07:33We don't talk about anything in the Foreman household.
07:36It's not like your house,
07:37where every time somebody gets a feeling,
07:39they get awarded a gold star.
07:41Eric, I'm just trying to help.
07:42Well, talking about it won't help me.
07:45Getting drunk, that might help me.
07:47Don't be an idiot.
07:48Oh, an idiot, thanks.
07:49A real friend would understand.
07:51Hey, so, Eric, do you want to go out and get bombed?
07:55Dylan, he's a real friend.
07:56He is going to help me through my grandmother's death.
07:58Whoa.
08:00Your grandma's died.
08:06So, Eric, do you want to go out and get bombed?
08:08Yes, please.
08:11So, how do you feel?
08:14I'm fine, Paul.
08:16Hello in there, Ron.
08:20What the hell is wrong with you?
08:22No, it's what's right with me.
08:24I got away from Luton and our family.
08:27And so, now I'm not scared of my feelings.
08:30Well, if you're not scared of them,
08:31can you tell them they're clear off,
08:32because they're really getting on my wick?
08:33You know, we really should talk about Mum's funeral.
08:43You and your shoulds.
08:45You shouldn't should me, Ron.
08:48All right, we're going to talk about Mum's funeral.
08:50Don't worry, it's on me.
08:53Look, it's not a round of drinks at the pub.
08:56We'll split the cost.
08:57Sweet Ron.
09:00Always generous, even when you're low on funds.
09:05I just want the best for Mum.
09:09Yeah.
09:10Yeah, we all do.
09:12It's just that when I feel bad,
09:14I don't cry like a girl.
09:19I want service.
09:20I demand booze.
09:22Sit down, Eric.
09:22We're going to get drunk.
09:27Four quants a cider, please.
09:29All right, how old are you, lads?
09:31We're all 18.
09:33At least.
09:35You, er, got any identification?
09:37I believe this official Luton Civic Library card should suffice.
09:43The rest of the guys left their ID back at the...
09:47Barracks.
09:50If you say so.
09:52So, you're in the army.
09:54Which regiment?
09:55We're in the secret regiment.
09:59What?
10:00Yes.
10:01Yes.
10:02It's so hush-hush, even some of our own men haven't been told.
10:07I'm Tracy.
10:08This is my sister, Teresa.
10:11Hello, boy.
10:12Hi.
10:13My name's...
10:15Ted.
10:18I'm Julius.
10:20Captain Julius.
10:22Just, er, call me Dirk.
10:23I am, er, Eric Foreman.
10:28Very smooth.
10:30Sally, do you want to put these on our plate?
10:32Yeah.
10:33Bring us a round of rum and cokes.
10:35I think we're in for a party.
10:37Thank you, girls.
10:38Do join us.
10:39What is going on?
10:41We're being picked up.
10:42Huh?
10:44That's a good thing.
10:45Oh, excuse me, boys.
10:47Oh, but we need to talk to these ladies.
10:49Well, actually, they're talking to us, mate.
10:51Yeah, well, they came here with us.
10:53Hey, get lost.
10:54They're trying to pick us up.
10:56What are you sitting there?
10:57Birdie, birdie, goodie, bad king, man.
11:04If you're messing with Eric Foreman,
11:06you're messing with me.
11:09You're looking for trouble, Sonny, eh?
11:10Yes, I am.
11:22Come on, who wants some?
11:24All for one and one for all.
11:29So where were we?
11:40What is Eric up to?
11:43It's two o'clock in the morning.
11:44I'm worried sick.
11:46What Eric's up to, Kitty,
11:49is that he's running away from his feelings.
11:52He's not like me.
11:53I can deal with this tragedy
11:55because I have the emotional tools.
12:01Paul, you are an emotional tool.
12:06Ron, you're just trying to avoid reality.
12:08No, no, no, avoiding reality
12:10is moving to London
12:11so you don't have to drive mum to the hospital
12:14and hear all about her abscess.
12:16Lemon rang pie, anyone?
12:20Where the hell have you been?
12:22Um, a pub.
12:24Oh, Eric, you haven't been drinking.
12:26Well, I tried, but I got beaten up instead.
12:30Oh, my God!
12:32It's OK, Eric.
12:33Just let those feelings out.
12:38What's the thing about Grandma?
12:39Put them back in, Eric.
12:41You know, a father and a son, they are...
12:44Paul, you are this close to a half-Nelson.
12:49Good night.
12:52Eric, just because there's a tragedy in the family,
12:55there is no need to go wild.
12:57Kitty, stop cooking and go to bed.
13:00All right.
13:03But when that timer goes off,
13:04one of you better take that brisket out of the oven
13:06or there'll be hell to pay.
13:22Don't drink it.
13:23Put it on your eye.
13:26All right.

17:19to my grandson eric who always had a kind word for me
17:22sorry
17:25I leave my kitchen utensils.
17:33I know how much he enjoyed playing with them.
17:38To my granddaughter Helen, I leave my summer dresses.
17:44I know someday she'll come to her senses
17:46because the way she looks now, she's just asking for it.
17:51Great.
17:52Something to wear when I don't want it anymore.
17:54To my daughter in North Kitty, I leave my recipes.
17:58On the condition that they're followed exactly.
18:01Don't disgrace my memory by using your spicy substitutes.
18:06How thoughtful.
18:07To my oldest boy, Ronald, I leave my entire...
18:12miniature clown collection.
18:16Tiny clowns? Hole in one, Ron.
18:21And to my youngest son, Paul,
18:24I'll leave the remainder of my estate to dispose of as he sees fit.
18:28He's so clever with money, I know he'll make the most of it.
18:33Don't worry, Ron.
18:35I'll split everything with you.
18:36No, she left it to you. It's yours.
18:38She only left it to me because she thought I knew more about money.
18:41Well, you certainly know more about spending it.
18:43I know you need the money.
18:46Don't let pride stand in the way of what's best for you and your family.
18:49Pride's got nothing to do with it!
18:51As a matter of fact, I've always liked clowns.
18:57The smaller the better.
19:01Look, I'm sorry I can't help you unload Mum's stuff, but, you know, the problem with my back...
19:07Yeah, it's lazy, just like the rest of you.
19:11Grandma said I could have her jewellery.
19:13When did she say that?
19:15She said, I forgot to put it in the will, but I want you to have my jewellery.
19:19Keep it safe.
19:21And the coin collection.
19:22Oh, and Eric, she wanted me to make sure you got all her wigs.
19:29Hey, look!
19:31It's my old train set.
19:34Your train set?
19:36That was our train set.
19:37Yeah, well, it should have been mine.
19:39I mean, you never played with it properly.
19:41You used to put all the stations next to each other.
19:42It didn't make sense.
19:43It was fun!
19:44No, no.
19:45The more stations, the more fun.
19:48Like a real train.
19:48Ron, do you want to keep the trains?
19:54Well, if you don't want them.
19:56It's not about me.
19:58It's about what you want.
20:01Listen to your heart, Ron.
20:04Would you stop talking rubbish?
20:08In that case, I'll take the trains.
20:11Well, yeah, fine.
20:12Yeah, sure.
20:14Keep them.
20:14I didn't want the damn things anyway.
20:18Kitty.
20:21Could you tell that bastard to give me back my train set?
20:25Your problem, Ron.
20:26I'm making cakes.
20:27Oh, Paul left you the train set.
20:44Yeah.
20:45He even set it up properly.
20:47Look, all the stations are spread out.
20:49Five stops, five times the fun.
20:51Yeah, but if he thinks he's going to play with it when he visits, he's got another thing coming.
20:58Ron, you should share with your brother.
21:00Don't want to.
21:03I'm going to make a fruitcake.
21:04Hey, Dad.
21:10Nice train set.
21:11Yeah.
21:12I can't believe Mum kept it all these years.
21:15I thought she'd have thrown it out ages ago.
21:18Yeah.
21:19She was a good egg, Grandma.
21:22Yeah.
21:24She was.
21:26Hmm.
21:26Now, I used to hate rhubarb.
21:30Mum knew that.
21:32So whenever she made a rhubarb crumble, she'd always make one little apple crumble, just for me.
21:38Aww.
21:40Yeah.
21:40She had a beautiful voice.
21:42Used to sing round the house all day.
21:44Hmm.
21:46And the last words I said to her weren't, I love you or goodbye, but, I want to see your bumper disappear down the drive.
21:54Yeah, well, the last thing I said to her was, would it absolutely kill you to be nice for a day?
22:02But I think it did, because she died.
22:09It could only happen to you, son.
22:13What's the matter, love?
22:15I've run out of eggs.
22:17And flour.
22:18Oh.
22:21Come on.
22:21Do you think there's any chance these are real diamonds?
22:27A.
22:29A family hog.
22:32I'll leave you three alone.
22:38Who on earth is in charge up here?
22:41Hello.
22:43Hello.
22:45My name is Peter.
22:47Well, can't you do anything about these clouds?
22:50I can't see where I'm going.
22:52My dear lady, I fear that's down to the marketing people.
22:58I must say, I was very surprised to bump into Mrs. Cooper up here.
23:03She's had more gentleman callers than the Imperial War Museum.
23:06By the way, it is all C of E up here, isn't it?
23:13Hmm?
23:13I mean, you don't allow Methodists or anyone like that, do you?
23:17My gate is always open.
23:20Oh.
23:21I'm so pleased you came, Granny.
23:23Oh, so this is heaven.
23:26Hmm?
23:27Well, it's nice.
23:28It's not Yarmouth, but it's nice.
23:30Where's the mark?
23:32I'll show you.
23:35Oh.
23:36What will you have?
23:38My usual.
23:40Oh, yes, of course.
23:41I'll be safe.
23:41It was gin and bitter lemon, wasn't it?
23:44Yes, a large one, please.
23:46With a cherry.
23:47Oh, of course.
23:48Amen.
23:49Amen.
23:50Amen.
