00:34Do you know how many people we had off work yesterday?
00:3718. 18 out of a staff of 34.
00:41That's about to have rich, isn't it?
00:43But the big question, my darling, is not how many, but why?
00:46Why are they not coming in to work?
00:48Have you asked them?
00:50That is brilliant.
00:52What is that?
00:53Out of the mouths of babes.
00:55Of course, that's precisely what we need.
00:57Dialogue. Talk to them. Brilliant.
01:00I've taken the children round to Pam.
01:01She'll keep them till tomorrow morning.
01:03Children?
01:04Uncle Simon, darling, remember?
01:06My word, Uncle Simon. That's come round again quickly.
01:09You don't mind, do you?
01:11Of course not, darling.
01:12It's one of the many reasons I admire you.
01:14There aren't many women who cheerfully give up a whole day every month
01:17to look after a bedridden 73-year-old uncle.
01:22Are those new?
01:23I think they probably are, yes.
01:26You were talking about them in your sleep, you know.
01:28Was I?
01:29You said, Simon, Simon, let me do it for you.
01:34Oh.
01:35Well, could you?
01:36Of course, yes.
01:38You also sounded quite upset.
01:40You were moaning a lot.
01:41Well, it can be rather distressing.
01:44I probably won't be back till quite late.
01:46I have to give them a bed bath, massage, cook a pie for tomorrow, you know.
01:51And I always like to give the place a thorough clean from top to bottom.
01:57Do you know what you are?
01:58What?
01:59You're a saint.
02:00That's what you are.
02:03But why are they sick, Angie?
02:04That's the one that interests me.
02:06Well, mostly they just phoned in and said they were feeling poorly.
02:09Except Lawrence.
02:10He just said he's not coming in anymore.
02:13I'm not convinced, Angie.
02:14I think the real reason these people are staying away
02:16has got nothing to do with illness at all.
02:18And I'm beginning to wonder if perhaps it isn't my fault.
02:22Hmm.
02:23I mean, yes, I can run this place efficiently.
02:26Yes, I can keep a taut administrative machine humming.
02:28But if my staff have problems, can they talk to me about them?
02:32Do they know they can just come through those doors
02:34and tell me their deepest, most personal fears?
02:36I'd have thought not.
02:38In which case, I've failed, Angie, haven't I?
02:40I can't have been making myself available.
02:43Well, now you've come to mention it...
02:45And in talking it over with my wife this morning,
02:47the answer came to me.
02:49Here.
02:51To all staff, resharing and caring clinics.
02:55It is my intention to have a quiet, informal chat.
02:59Oh, my God.
03:01I reckon, Angie, if we have two people every night,
03:04we can get through the whole staff within a month.
03:07One-to-one dialogue, no holds barred,
03:09starting five o'clock this evening.
03:11Haven't you got someone coming to give a lecture at five o'clock?
03:13Good point, Angie.
03:15Let's move the first one till 6.30, shall we?
03:17But that's Patrick.
03:18Well, he'll want to go home to his wife.
03:19He's only been married a fortnight.
03:21Well, now, Angie,
03:22I wonder what Patrick's wife would really prefer.
03:24A husband who came home on time
03:26or someone who was a little late
03:28but who radiated that inner content
03:30that comes from sharing a problem with a sympathetic ear.
03:36Precisely.
03:37I think we'll find there are people in this building
03:38that problems we can't even dream of.
03:42Are you all right?
03:43Yes.
03:46Are you sure?
03:48Oh, I'm sorry.
03:49I'm just so worried about everything.
03:51Losing the car,
03:52selling the furniture,
03:54and now the baby isn't feeding properly.
03:57I thought you said your mother was managing rather well.
04:00She went into hospital for a hip replacement this morning.
04:03Really?
04:05So who's looking after the baby?
04:09Carol, you haven't.
04:14Well, you know what Britta said.
04:18If he found it in here again,
04:19he'd confiscate it.
04:22Look, why don't you take a few minutes off
04:24and have a nice cup of tea?
04:25I can't leave the desk.
04:27Come on.
04:28I'll look after it.
04:36Is someone looking after you?
04:38No, I wondered if you...
04:39Carol!
04:40Carol!
04:41I do apologise.
04:43Well, I only want to do...
04:44I'll see if I can find someone.
04:49Carol!
04:50What's the problem?
04:51I brought her in here, Mr. Britta's.
04:53But she's supposed to be manning the desk.
04:55There's no one manning the desk.
04:56She's a little upset.
04:57She's got a few problems at home.
04:59Problems, eh?
05:00But I think she'll be fine with a nice cup of tea.
05:03Problems?
05:04Well, I'm not supposed to be seeing her
05:05until 5.30 Wednesday,
05:08but I think in a good cause
05:09we can bend the rules a bit, can't we?
05:11I'll just go and check everything's all right at the desk.
05:13Shall I can't take you?
05:14Good idea, Laura.
05:16Right then, Carol.
05:17What seems to be the problem?
05:20Can I help you?
05:21I wonder if anyone has found her...
05:23I'm sorry.
05:23I'm sorry.
05:24Excuse me a bit.
05:26He belongs to the receptionist.
05:29She's not supposed to keep him in there, of course.
05:31Is she?
05:33Um, I'll be straight back.
05:35Okay.
05:39I think this could be a longy session, Laura.
05:41I'll just take her up to my office.
05:43Where's she gone?
05:44Sorry?
05:45The girl in charge of the desk?
05:46Well, I'm not sure.
05:48All right, Carol.
05:48You go on up.
05:49Get Angie to make you a cup of tea.
05:51I'll be up in a minute, all right?
05:53Right, sorry about that, young man.
05:55We're a bit short-starved.
05:57How can I help you?
05:58Well, I think when I came in yesterday, I left...
06:01Oh, Laura, there you are.
06:02Where's Carol?
06:03I told her to go on up.
06:04If you could just take over here...
06:06I've got an aerobics class, Mr British.
06:07Right, I'll get Angie to find someone, then.
06:09Now, you were saying, young man...
06:10Well, yesterday, when I came in, I lost a...
06:12Excuse me.
06:15Hello, leisure centre.
06:16How can I help you?
06:19Do I sound like Carol?
06:22Her husband.
06:24I'm sorry, I thought you ran away to Spain with another woman.
06:28Well, I don't want her upset, all right?
06:30She's in a very delicate emotional state at the moment.
06:36Hello, Angie.
06:37I've got a call for Carol on seven.
06:39It's her husband.
06:41And could you organise someone to take over at reception?
06:44Thanks, bye.
06:46Sorry, you were saying, young man.
06:48I wondered if anyone would find a tie in the changing rooms yesterday.
06:51A tie?
06:52Right, now we're getting somewhere.
06:53Let's have a look, shall we?
06:56Excuse me, I just...
06:57I'm looking after this young man at the moment, I'm afraid, sir.
07:00Excuse me.
07:01Hello, Gavin.
07:02Yes, sorry to disturb you.
07:04I'm at reception with a young man who says he may have left a tie in the main changing rooms
07:08yesterday.
07:09Could you?
07:10He's looking.
07:11Look, while we're waiting, couldn't you just tell me...
07:13Yes, Gavin?
07:15Oh, dear.
07:15Yes, it could, couldn't it?
07:17Who was on duty then?
07:19Do you know?
07:20And where is she at the moment?
07:23Ah, do you have a home number?
07:27Right, thanks.
07:30Caroline should know.
07:31Sorry about this, ladies and gentlemen, if you just bear with me.
07:36Hello, Caroline.
07:37I understand yesterday you were on duty and...
07:40Well, could I speak to Mummy, please?
07:44Well, perhaps we could get Mummy out of the bath.
07:47It is rather important.
07:48Look, I don't want to cause any bother.
07:50No bother at all, young man.
07:51It's what we're paid for.
07:54Gavin, Gavin.
07:56Yes?
07:56Can you tell Carol I've moved the baby to the ladies' loom, right?
08:00The baby?
08:00The mother's changing, Eric.
08:02She'll know what I mean.
08:03Right.
08:06No, no, no, no, no.
08:07She said that she gave it to you,
08:09but it's not in its proper place in the locker room.
08:12Well, what do you put it there for?
08:13Mr. Brittis, have you seen Carol?
08:15Oh, Gavin, could you pop down to the gym
08:17and bring me the lost property box
08:19from under the vaulting horse in the gym?
08:21But...
08:21Just get on with it, Gavin.
08:22We don't want to keep these people waiting, all right?
08:24Right.
08:25Right, now, Tim, I think in future,
08:27if you put it in the proper place,
08:28it might be simpler, don't you?
08:32Right, now, while we're waiting,
08:33perhaps you'd like to fill in a lost property claim form.
08:41I think he wants me back.
08:43He was ringing from the airport.
08:45He's coming straight round.
08:46Are you sure about this, Carol?
08:48It was definitely his voice.
08:49No.
08:50Are you sure that you want him back?
08:53After the way he's treated you.
08:54What do you mean?
08:55Well, I'm not sure I could forgive a man
08:57who used my savings to run away to Spain
08:58with a cashier from Safeway.
09:00Yes.
09:01It was all my fault.
09:03I drove him to it.
09:04I was the one who refused him.
09:07What?
09:08The office party.
09:09He wanted to...
09:11You know,
09:12on the photocopier.
09:15And you said no?
09:17Oh, I was such a fool.
09:19If only I hadn't been so unreasonable.
09:21But I was eight months pregnant, you see,
09:23and I was wearing one for a damn bag.
09:25Is that why he left?
09:27Yes.
09:28But everything's going to be all right now.
09:30We'll be able to keep the house.
09:31I won't have to work.
09:33Ben will have a father.
09:35And goodness me,
09:37I feel so much better.
09:41We haven't done anything about Mr. Brittus.
09:43What?
09:44Oh, yes.
09:45Don't bother.
09:46I'm fine.
09:48Are you sure?
09:49Yes.
09:50There won't be much to do down there.
09:51It never really gets very busy.
09:54She's meant to keep those forms here somewhere.
09:56Look,
09:57I'm not bothered, really.
09:59Why can't he just use a piece of paper?
10:01Oh, now,
10:01that's exactly how trouble starts.
10:03If you don't do these things properly,
10:04you may as well do nothing at all.
10:06Couldn't we just do nothing at all?
10:08How about I give him £20
10:09and he buys himself a new tie?
10:11A pair of roller skates with a change.
10:13Please, please.
10:14We're nearly there.
10:16Here they are.
10:17Lost property box, Mr. Brittus.
10:18Oh, thank you, Gavin.
10:19Perhaps you'd like to take a look at this, please.
10:21It's not there.
10:22Come on, you've hardly looked.
10:24Really?
10:24It's not there.
10:25Listen, Squire,
10:26a lot of my staff,
10:27not to mention myself,
10:28have been to a great deal of trouble
10:29to try and find this tie
10:31and I think in view of the number of people
10:33you've kept waiting,
10:34the least you can do is that with these...
10:35This is it.
10:35What?
10:36This is mine.
10:38Are you sure?
10:39Absolutely.
10:39Thank you very much.
10:40If you'd just like to sign that form, then, please.
10:45At last.
10:46Could I...
10:47One moment, please, madam.
10:49Hello, is that the police?
10:51Yes, it's the leisure centre here.
10:53I'd like to report a theft.
10:55A girls' grammar school tie.
10:59Well, I think it's important.
11:01You start off with a sock or a tie.
11:02Next thing you know, it's cars and video recorders.
11:07Right, madam, yes.
11:08Please, could I have two tickets for the pool?
11:11The pool.
11:14Well, I'm afraid you've just missed this session, madam,
11:16and the next one doesn't start till four.
11:18But we've been waiting.
11:19I'll tell you what,
11:20the army camp sometimes do a family hour at their pool.
11:22Let's just try a direct inquiry, shall we?
11:25Oh, excuse me.
11:27Listen, deadhead.
11:28I've been invited to give a lecture here,
11:30and unless you tell me in the next 30 seconds
11:32where I'm supposed to go,
11:33I'm going to take you outside and set fire to you.
11:36Are you serious?
11:38Mr. Owen?
11:39What?
11:40Mr. Ken Owen.
11:41Tranquility without drugs.
11:45Yes?
11:47Gordon Brittus.
11:49Manager of the Leisure Centre.
11:50Welcome to Whitbury Newtown Leisure Centre.
11:53Oh, Carol, there you are.
11:55Perhaps if you'd just like to take over,
11:57I'll take Mr. Ken Owen to my office.
11:59Right, Mr. Brittus.
12:02Are you all right?
12:03Oh, yes, Mr. Brittus.
12:05I think our little chat must have helped, then.
12:09I'd like a squash court, please.
12:13Court three, up the stairs, straight along the corridor.
12:16Just a minute, please.
12:19Oh, my God!
12:21What?
12:22What is my baby?
12:24Look, I'm sorry if I seemed a bit, you know, downstairs.
12:28Not at all, Ken.
12:29I expect it was a long drive.
12:31Sorry?
12:32I find motorways impossible these days, don't you?
12:36People shouting at you all the time
12:37and waving their fists out the window.
12:40What's all this then, Ken?
12:42Well, my lecture is a personal testimony, really.
12:46So I begin by showing people
12:48the various drugs I once used to cope with stress.
12:51Before you started these exercises.
12:53Oh, jeez.
12:54That's right.
12:54And before I realised I was in danger of losing
12:57the two most dear things to me in my life,
12:59my wife and children.
13:01So I suppose you could say that I was really...
13:03Oh, Laura, that's fascinating, Ken.
13:04It really is.
13:05Laura, very nice.
13:06I just wanted to check Carol was all right.
13:08She's fine.
13:08Back in reception in great form.
13:10Oh, good.
13:11And dare I say the first success of our little scheme?
13:14There was one thing, though.
13:16I was wondering if you girls couldn't get together
13:18and give her a bit of advice about make-up.
13:21Wouldn't that be a bit personal, Mr. Brittis?
13:23Well, you have heard the husband might come back.
13:26Anything we can do to tip the balance...
13:28I mean, she's not exactly an encouraging sight
13:30at the moment, is she?
13:31All puffy eyes and red skin.
13:34For all we know, it's what drove him off
13:35in the first place.
13:37Well, that's not exactly the case, Mr. Brittis.
13:40No?
13:40No, um, she told Angie that he left
13:44because he wanted to have sex
13:46and she said he couldn't because...
13:48Mr. Brittis, it's Carol.
13:49What?
13:50She says someone's stolen her baby.
13:52Oh, no!
13:53Her baby?
13:53Well, that was me, I'm afraid.
13:55I asked Gavin to tell her...
13:56You stole the baby?
13:57No, no, no, no.
13:57I moved it to the ladies' loo.
13:59She was frightened that if you found it, you...
14:01Frightened?
14:01What does she think I am?
14:02Some kind of monster?
14:04Well, that's really well what she's saying down there.
14:06I'd better go and find her.
14:07I think it might also be a good idea
14:09if someone returned this baby to the drawer.
14:11Don't look at me.
14:12She's running around the corridors with a fire axe.
14:15Well, I think someone could at least...
14:17Oh, Colin, the very man.
14:18Sorry I'm late, Mr. Brittis.
14:19I've still got this irritated bowel.
14:23Never mind, Colin.
14:24Honestly, if I could have got off the toilet
14:25for two minutes, I'd have phoned you, but...
14:28Colin?
14:29Yes, Mr. Brittis?
14:29I want you to go down to the ladies' toilet.
14:31There you'll find a baby.
14:32The ladies' toilet?
14:33Just listen, will you, please, Colin?
14:36There you'll find a baby.
14:37I want you to take the baby
14:38and put it in the bottom left-hand drawer
14:40of the reception desk, all right?
14:41Are you sure about this, Mr. Brittis?
14:44Why does everyone keep questioning everything I say?
14:46Just do it, will you, please?
14:47Right, Mr. Brittis.
14:50Oh, Ken, you're sure it's worth unpacking
14:52everything like this, are you?
14:54What?
14:55I mean, you'll have to put it all away again
14:57when we take you down to the lecture hall.
14:59Lecture hall?
15:00You said we were in here.
15:02I asked you if this was where we were going to be
15:03and you said, yes, it is.
15:05Oh, slight misunderstanding there, Ken.
15:08I mean, this is where we're going to have a cup of tea
15:10and get to know each other.
15:15That's one of the exercises, is it, Ken?
15:18Deep breathing, you cleansed fists.
15:21Oh!
15:58Excuse me.
15:59Yes?
16:00Does Carol Parkinson work here?
16:02Carol?
16:02Our receptionist?
16:04Yes.
16:04Do you think I could see her?
16:06It's rather important.
16:07Oh.
16:07I'm her husband.
16:09I'm Colin.
16:10How do you do?
16:11I'm going to look for you.
16:14Thanks.
16:21He's gone!
16:23Sorry?
16:23He's gone!
16:25Did he see where he went?
16:26He went down there.
16:37I'm so sorry.
16:39I don't know what came over me.
16:41I keep telling you, Carol, it's all right.
16:43It was a perfectly natural thing to do.
16:47I just had this red mist over my eyes.
16:50I could have killed him.
16:52I could have killed Mr. Brutus.
16:55Yes.
16:58Still, not to worry.
17:00He's all right, is he?
17:02Yes, he seemed to sleep through most of it.
17:04Look, I'm ever so grateful.
17:08Oh.
17:09I suppose I'd better put this fact where I found it.
17:12Don't worry, Carol.
17:13I'll take care of the axe.
17:14Would you?
17:15Only I'm supposed to be manning the desk.
17:16Yes, of course.
17:17And your husband's coming as well, isn't he?
17:19Derek, I'd forgotten.
17:20Carol.
17:21Yes?
17:22Before you go, look, it's none of my business,
17:25but perhaps a little lipstick or something?
17:30Why?
17:30What's wrong?
17:31No, no, nothing at all.
17:32I just thought that...
17:34Oh, God.
17:35I can't face him like this.
17:37He'll refuse to be seen with me.
17:39It'll be like minehead all over again.
17:44Why can't I use my own projector?
17:46It's the insurance, I'm afraid, Ken.
17:48Where would we be if yours burnt the body down or something?
17:52I won't.
17:54How can we be so sure, Ken?
17:56Now, you'll need one of these to make a click.
18:00Click?
18:01Yes, I've put a leisure centre sticker on it.
18:03Not everyone remembers to give these things back.
18:05Why do I need to click?
18:07Well, you see, we have a little code.
18:08It's one click for lights off,
18:11two click for lights on,
18:14three for next slide,
18:17and four to go back to the previous slide,
18:19and so on.
18:20I've jotted them down here for you.
18:23There are 14 of them.
18:25Yes, I may not be them all.
18:27Are you seriously suggesting that I click 14 times
18:31if I want the doors open for a bit of fresh air?
18:34You can change the number if you're sure it wouldn't confuse you.
18:38I wouldn't, I'd just say,
18:39could you open the doors?
18:40You could, you could.
18:42I just didn't want to spoil the flow, that's all.
18:44In the meantime,
18:45I have to transfer over 300 slides to your carousels.
18:49Ken, I'm more than happy to help.
18:51No.
18:53Okay, there we are.
18:57Oh, Ken,
18:58if there's anything else,
18:59don't hesitate to ask.
19:10Ah, not again.
19:12We're having a bit of a problem
19:13with our receptionist at the moment.
19:15How can I help you?
19:17I was hoping to see my wife,
19:18Carol Parkinson.
19:20So you're the one?
19:22I know what you must all think of me.
19:25I've been a fool,
19:26I don't mind admitting it.
19:27But if I could just see her,
19:30plead with her for another chance,
19:32perhaps catch a glimpse of my son.
19:34You've not seen the baby?
19:38Never.
19:41Well, I may be breaking a few rules here,
19:43Mr. Parkinson,
19:44but we do have to have a human side,
19:46don't we?
19:47Why don't you take a look
19:48in the bottom left-hand drawer?
19:52What?
19:53Go on,
19:54it won't bite.
19:57Take a look.
20:03It's a baby.
20:04Carol's baby.
20:06Carol's baby?
20:07That's not...
20:08It is.
20:09Actually,
20:09I'm not supposed to know about it,
20:10but it's hers all right.
20:13Look,
20:14Derek,
20:14I may be out of line here
20:16and you can say it's none of my business,
20:18but may I make a little suggestion?
20:20Why don't you,
20:21Carol and I,
20:22get together
20:23and maybe discuss this
20:24over a cup of tea or something
20:26and see if we can't sort it all out.
20:28Sorry?
20:28This impotence business.
20:31Believe me,
20:32Derek,
20:33it can happen to a bishop.
20:36But it's no reason
20:37to walk out on a marriage.
20:39What?
20:39Just because you couldn't do it
20:41at some office party.
20:43My wife said that.
20:45We share our problems here,
20:47Derek.
20:48It's part of the glue
20:48that binds us together.
20:49We're a close,
20:50caring community.
20:52You mean she's told everyone?
20:53Oh, Mr. Brittis?
20:54Not at the moment, Tim.
20:55I'm a little bit busy.
20:56No,
20:56I think you'll need to hear
20:57about this one.
20:59I'll be back as soon as I can,
21:01Derek.
21:01Take a magazine.
21:04Mrs. Walsh
21:05has had her baby stolen
21:06from the ladies' toilet.
21:07Stolen?
21:08I just left him in his buggy
21:09for a few seconds.
21:11You're quite sure about this,
21:12are you?
21:12It was just a few seconds!
21:15Hello,
21:15is that the police?
21:16Uh,
21:17Tim?
21:21Hello,
21:21Sergeant?
21:22It's the leisure centre here.
21:24Yes,
21:24it is me.
21:26There you go.
21:28How do I look?
21:29You have him eating
21:29out of your hand.
21:30Do you think so?
21:31You look great, right?
21:31Oh,
21:31he looks marvellous.
21:33Don't forget this.
21:34Oh,
21:36oh,
21:36he's got a clean baby
21:37grow on and everything.
21:38Well,
21:39I found some washing up liquid
21:40and just dried him off
21:41in the solarium.
21:43Oh,
21:44thank you.
21:45Thank you all.
21:48Everything's gonna be
21:50all right now, Ben.
21:52Daddy's
21:52coming home.
22:01Hello,
22:02Derek.
22:09you bastard.
22:13Derek?
22:14I wouldn't come back
22:15to you if you were
22:16the last woman
22:16on God's earth.
22:18Derek?
22:20How could you?
22:22Derek,
22:23how did you tell me?
22:27Colin,
22:28why didn't you tell me?
22:30Well,
22:31well,
22:32well,
22:32well,
22:32sweet love,
22:34sweet jay.
22:35See if you can find
22:36this young man's mother,
22:37will you,
22:37Colin?
22:39Yes,
22:48why would he?
22:50Carol,
22:51what did you say?
22:53I said,
22:54hello,
22:55Derek.
22:56It must have been
22:57the way I said it.
23:07Right,
23:08one last quick word
23:09before I hand you over.
23:11You've no doubt
23:12all received my memo
23:13about my idea
23:14for problem surgeries.
23:16Now,
23:16I was to be seeing
23:17Patrick and Mrs. Delgado
23:19this evening,
23:20but unfortunately
23:21they're feeling poorly
23:22and have had to go home.
23:23So,
23:24if anyone has
23:25an urgent problem
23:26they'd like to share with me,
23:27there are two free sessions
23:29after this night.
23:30All right?
23:32Now,
23:32without further ado,
23:33let me put you
23:34in the capable hands
23:35of Ken Owen
23:36for some practical advice
23:37on ways to avoid stress.
23:40Over to you,
23:42Kenneth.
23:46Ladies and gentlemen,
23:48if you could have
23:48the lights down, please.
23:51That's two clicks, Angie.
23:54And the first slide.
23:56Three clicks.
23:59Oh,
24:00that's me.
24:04Lights!
24:05Five clicks, Angie.
24:08I feel slightly responsible here, Ken.
24:11I assumed you'd know
24:12to reverse the slides
24:13and load them upside down.
24:15So,
24:17300 slides
24:19and they're all
24:20gone.
24:22Well,
24:22we'll give you...
24:27That should save
24:28a lot of time.
24:29Ken,
24:29and if we don't have any slides,
24:31I dare say
24:32we won't need
24:32our projector.
24:42Ken,
24:43I think you've made your point.
24:44I don't agree.
24:46I'm just coming to it.
24:48You know,
24:48all these years,
24:49I've been lecturing
24:50about special exercises,
24:52but frankly,
24:53when you're really
24:54under stress,
24:55you can't beat
24:56the old favourites.
24:58Some of these...
25:00wash down with some of this.
25:04And if that doesn't work fast enough,
25:07try some of the little green ones.
25:12Great.
25:14the most therapeutic thing
25:15is to grab
25:17to the twit
25:18who caused all the trouble
25:19and knock the everlasting
25:20shit out of him.
25:25I don't think we'll be inviting him
25:26back again.
25:28No.
25:28No,
25:29he's going on the same list
25:30as that flower-arranging lady
25:31we had last week.
25:32Honestly,
25:33I think an expert in stress
25:34could cope with a few
25:35upside-down slides.
25:36Yes,
25:37Mr. British.
25:38I mean,
25:38at first,
25:38I thought he was illustrating
25:40the damage stress can do,
25:41but it was a real thing,
25:42wasn't it?
25:43I think it was real,
25:44all right,
25:45Mr. British.
25:47I'm not...
25:48Well...
25:49It's a virus.
25:50It's a virus.
25:51Look,
25:53I've been missing...
25:54Mr. British?
25:55Yes?
25:56We wondered if you could
25:57help us find our son,
25:58Peter.
25:58He was here this morning
25:59looking for some lost property.
26:01Oh,
26:01you mean the lad
26:02who stole the tie?
26:03Did he just run away from home?
26:05We were wondering
26:05if he'd given any clue.
26:07No,
26:08just went off with the tie.
26:10Oh,
26:10thank you.
26:11We mustn't take
26:11any more of your time.
26:12Come along,
26:13Doreen.
26:14It's all your fault,
26:15you and your standards.
26:18Well,
26:19come along,
26:19girls.
26:19We've all got homes
26:20to go to,
26:21haven't we?
26:21No.
26:28Often,
26:29sometimes,
26:30never.
26:32Never.
26:33Good night.
26:37Oh,
26:38I thought you'd be in bed.
26:39No,
26:40darling,
26:40just finishing off
26:41this quiz thing.
26:42How strong
26:43is your marriage?
26:45Do you know
26:46we scored 89 out of 90?
26:48That's nice.
26:49Had a good day?
26:50Not too bad,
26:51I suppose,
26:52all in all.
26:53The lecturer
26:53was a bit disappointing.
26:55What about you?
26:56Oh,
26:57fine.
26:58I can tell that
26:59just by looking at you.
27:00Can you?
27:01You've got a sort of a glow.
27:03Well,
27:03I always find it invigorating.
27:05London.
27:06In spite of having to hump
27:08a 73-year-old
27:09around all day,
27:09haven't you?
27:13That's a nurse's uniform.
27:16Yes.
27:16And you're not a nurse.
27:18No.
27:19I slip into it
27:20sometimes when I'm
27:21visiting Uncle Simon.
27:22It reassures him,
27:23I think.
27:24It doesn't look
27:25very comfortable,
27:26darling.
27:26It's rather tight,
27:27isn't it?
27:27It is quite,
27:28yes.
27:29Still,
27:29keeps his pecker up,
27:30poor old kid.
27:33God,
27:34we're lucky,
27:35aren't we?
27:35Are we?
27:36I seem to have spent
27:37the whole day
27:38watching families
27:39fall apart,
27:40husbands walking out
27:41on wives,
27:42parents quarrelling,
27:43children leaving home.
27:45And coming home tonight,
27:46I couldn't help thinking,
27:47God,
27:48we're lucky.
27:49I think I'll turn in now.
27:51And one of the reasons
27:52I think we're so successful,
27:53darling,
27:54is that we talk to each other.
27:56We tell each other
27:56how we feel.
27:57And I think that's
27:58rather important,
27:59don't you?
27:59I'll see you upstairs.
28:02Helen?
28:04I was thinking
28:05with both the children away,
28:07perhaps we couldn't have
28:09an early night.
28:11I'm a bit tired,
28:12Gordon.
28:13You said you were
28:13invigorated.
28:15Invigorated,
28:16but tired.
28:17Yes,
28:17of course.
28:18Actually,
28:19I've got rather a lot
28:19to sort out for tomorrow
28:20anyway.
28:21Good night,
28:22then.
28:23Good night.
28:2589 out of 90.
28:27Score over 80,
28:29you are the lucky ones.
28:31You and your partner
28:32have achieved a level
28:33of passion and romance
28:34that most of us
28:34can only envy.
28:36What about that,
28:37darling?
28:37It says it here.
28:38You are the lucky ones.
28:40APPLAUSE
28:45APPLAUSE
