00:13¶¶
00:30They're all waiting for you, Mr. Brittus.
00:31Sorry?
00:32The foot inspection. Downstairs. Everyone's waiting.
00:36Yes, I've got rather a lot on my plate at the moment, Laura.
00:38Do you think you could look after it for me?
00:40I'm not really sure I'm qualified to inspect feet, Mr. Brittus.
00:44Colin, perhaps?
00:45If you remember, it was Colin's feet you wanted to see.
00:48You said it would be more tactful to look at everyone,
00:50so you didn't think he was being picked on.
00:52Well, if you don't mind, Laura,
00:53I've got rather more urgent matters to attend to today than Colin's feet.
00:56I think we've discovered the solution to our difficulties.
01:00Which particular difficulties did you have in mind, Mr. Brittus?
01:03Has it ever occurred to you, Laura,
01:05that this centre has more than its fair share of upsets,
01:08emotional disturbances, accidents?
01:10You mean the fights?
01:12That sort of thing, Laura, yes.
01:14Well, I think I've discovered the cause.
01:16Oh, good.
01:18And I thought we could discuss it over a head of department's meeting,
01:20saying nine o'clock.
01:22Right. I'll just tell everyone to put their socks back on
01:24and I'll be straight up.
01:26Um, how did it go last night?
01:29Sorry?
01:30The Rotarian dinner in the sports hall.
01:32Oh, not too bad.
01:34Any problems?
01:35One or two little hiccups, but I managed to sort them out.
01:40Good.
01:52Oh, hello, Mrs. Brittus.
01:54Can you give me an excuse?
01:55May I have to see you for putting on my tights?
01:57Is there a husband around, you know, Carol?
01:59Sorry?
02:00Well, I'm just a bit concerned, but I don't think he came home last night.
02:03Really?
02:04Laura said he was in his office.
02:06Hello.
02:07Oh, Mr. Brittus, I have your wife down here in reception.
02:10Yes.
02:11Yes.
02:12Yes.
02:13Yes.
02:14Yes.
02:15Yes.
02:15Yes.
02:16Yes, yes, yes.
02:18I'm afraid he started a very important meeting.
02:20But he said to give you a pound from petty cash,
02:23so you can get yourself a donut and a hot chocolate.
02:28And he'll be down as soon as he's finished.
02:29My lucky day.
02:30Oh, Mrs. Brittus, if you'll just side this, I owe you.
02:35Are you still keeping your baby in that drawer, Carol?
02:38No, Mrs. Brittus, I took your advice about giving Ben more space.
02:42So I put him in the cupboard.
02:44There's a lot more room in there, and I promise...
02:46No, I didn't mean to interfere.
02:48I just wondered if you knew about the mouse.
02:50Sorry.
02:50Well, I saw a mouse when I came in.
02:52It ran across the floor and ran behind the desk there.
02:54Really?
02:55It's just with small babies.
02:57You know, you probably ought to be careful and hygiene...
02:59Yes.
03:00Yes, of course.
03:07I'm sorry, I'm late, Mr. Brittus.
03:09I've got a bit held up in casualty.
03:11Jolly good, Colin, if you'd like to take a seat.
03:13I won't, if you don't mind, Mr. Brittus.
03:16You're all right, Colin?
03:18Fine, fine, thank you, Laura.
03:19But I've just had this acupuncture needle surgically removed from the base of my spine.
03:24It's my own fault.
03:25I quite forgot to put it there till I sat on the motorbike.
03:29Just sit down, will you, Colin?
03:31I'll try perching on the edge, shall I, Mr. Brittus?
03:39Sorry about that, Mr. Brittus.
03:41Right, thank you.
03:42Now, I've been giving a lot of thought recently to these disturbances we keep having.
03:46You mean the fights?
03:48What puzzles me is how many normally sane and sensible people come into the centre and
03:53before you know it, they're squabbling, being abusive, hitting each other, striking members
03:57of staff.
03:58Like the woman yesterday.
03:59Precisely.
04:00What woman?
04:00She came in for the make-a-friend open morning.
04:04And someone asked if she realised how much hair she had on her upper lip.
04:09And just a little joke to keep things relaxed.
04:12And she lashed out with a frozen chicken.
04:16I'm glad you do, Colin.
04:18There's something definitely very strange going on round here, and I think I know where
04:22the fault lies.
04:23It's in the building.
04:26The what?
04:28Sick building syndrome, Laura.
04:30SBS.
04:31It was this article in the Mail of Sunday that gave me the clue.
04:37Apparently it's caused by the design of many modern buildings.
04:40I thought that was people working at computer screens all day long.
04:44Not just that, Laura, no.
04:45No, the building, the heating, the lighting, the ventilation systems could be the root
04:51of our problem.
04:52I've managed to trace a firm of some cell phone.
04:56Are you all right, Mr. Brittas?
04:58Sorry?
04:59It's just I thought...
05:00Yes?
05:02Nothing.
05:04Anyway, they're sending us one of their top men, a Mr. Graham Hanson, who'll be here at
05:0811, so I want the staff to give him full cooperation while he's in the building, all right?
05:13Right, Mr. Brittas.
05:15I shan't be able to greet him myself, but I'd like you, Laura, to keep an eye out for
05:19him and show him up.
05:20I'll keep an eye out, too.
05:22Indeed, Colin.
05:24Any questions?
05:27Well...
05:27Yes, Laura?
05:29Mr. Brittas, why have you got your feet in a cardboard box?
05:33Right.
05:40Your husband sends his apologies, Helen, and asks me to offer you another donut.
05:45He's all right, is he, Laura?
05:47Only someone said there was a bit of bother at the dinner last night.
05:50Bother?
05:51The Rotarians.
05:53Someone said he'd interrupted one of the speeches to complain about misuse of the lavatories.
05:59Well...
05:59Something about people not lifting the seat.
06:02But that's not true, is it?
06:05Yes, it is.
06:07And he came back again during the loyal toast to give the president a mop and a list of offenders.
06:12And he sent everyone else home.
06:15What did they do to him?
06:17Well, we're not entirely sure, but he's got a plaster here on his hand, so we think a couple
06:21of the doctors from the health centre gave him an injection, and...
06:25Well, anyway, he doesn't remember anything till the cleaners woke him up at 7.30.
06:29I see.
06:32Why does he do it?
06:33Ugh!
06:35He must know people don't like it.
06:37Doesn't anyone ever told him?
06:38Told him what?
06:39That he doesn't listen, that he doesn't hear the danger signs.
06:43We've all tried, Laura.
06:45The problem is getting him to stay in one place long enough to get the message through.
06:50Well, I think that might be easier at the moment.
06:52Do you?
06:53They've set his feet in concrete.
07:05It's not ordinary concrete, is it?
07:07Let me have a go.
07:07No waiting.
07:08I've waited a long time for a chance like this.
07:18I think I've lost a feeling.
07:20It doesn't seem to be doing anything, does it?
07:24I know what it is.
07:25What?
07:26I've been trying to think what you remind me of.
07:28Put you in a pair of shorts and we'll be all set for a game of sabutio.
07:36Julie, I realise to some people
07:38they can see the humorous side of this.
07:40But I'd be grateful if we could dispense with the witticisms about not having a leg to stand on,
07:45keeping both feet on the ground.
07:47Putting our best foot forward.
07:49Perhaps we should call the fire brigade.
07:51No.
07:52I'm sure they'd be able to cut you out.
07:54I'm not having a fire brigade here again, Linda.
07:56Those photographs they keep taking are not for training purposes.
08:00They sell it to the newspapers.
08:02You're putting your foot down, are you, Mr. Bratou?
08:04Do they?
08:06Sorry.
08:07Look, shall I cancel the sick building, ma'am?
08:10Absolutely not.
08:11If anything, this sort of thing shows just how serious the situation's become.
08:15Rotarians don't normally behave like this, you know.
08:17I know someone who's a stonemason.
08:19He may be able to help.
08:21Not necessary, Linda.
08:23It's just a little bit of semence.
08:24It won't take me on.
08:25Webster's Bondfast.
08:26Pardon?
08:27It's what they must have used.
08:28I found it in the basket.
08:29Oh, now we're getting somewhere.
08:31This should tell us how to get rid of it.
08:33Webster's Bondfast liquid steel sets in seconds.
08:37If this product fails within 25 years,
08:45we replace...
08:48Get your stonemason, Linda.
08:54Hello?
08:55Hello.
08:55Welcome to it, Minutown, Mr. Center.
08:57How are you?
08:58I was looking...
09:00I was looking for the manager.
09:01I think he's expecting me.
09:03I spoke to him on the phone.
09:05Mr. Hanson?
09:06Yes?
09:07Laura Lansing, deputy manager.
09:09Mr. Bratou's expecting you.
09:11Can I help you with your cases?
09:12No, no, I'll manage, thank you.
09:13And my instruments are mostly rather fragile.
09:16Are they?
09:17Oh, dear.
09:18Still, anyway, if you'd like to come with me.
09:22Mr. Hanson, I wonder if you'd mind showing yourself up.
09:24It's top of the stairs, first on the right.
09:26I just have to have a word with our receptionist.
09:30Something the matter, Carol?
09:31It's that mouse.
09:32It's in there with Ben.
09:33The mouse?
09:35It's all my fault.
09:36It's the crumbs from his rust, you see.
09:38They're all over the floor.
09:39I've just missed him again.
09:40There he is.
09:41No, no, wait a minute.
09:42What?
09:42Look.
09:44Oh.
09:45They're playing together.
09:47Yes.
09:49You know what, Carol?
09:50I think Ben's found a friend.
09:52But it's a mouse.
09:54I don't think Ben minds.
09:55Let's face it, he's probably glad of the company.
09:57He's got lots of friends in there.
09:59He's got all his toys.
10:00Yes.
10:03But I think he prefers the mouse.
10:08Come in.
10:10Mr. Hanson.
10:12Oh, splendid.
10:14Come along in, Graham.
10:16Gordon British.
10:17Glad you could make it.
10:18Glad you do.
10:18Take a seat, Graham.
10:20Coffee?
10:21Oh, thank you.
10:26So, can I ask, have you noticed anything yet?
10:30Well, um...
10:31About the building.
10:33Any signage to the expert eye on your way up?
10:35Oh, I see.
10:36Well, it's not usually things you can see.
10:38One has to take measurements.
10:40Thank you, yes.
10:44One has to check the eye on them.
10:46I use a modified gas spectrometer connected to a small...
10:49That's fascinating, Graham.
10:51Sugar?
10:52Two lumps, thank you.
10:53Anyway, it's not till you've taken the measurements that you can calculate such things.
10:57Can I suggest something, Graham?
10:58Well, of course, Mr. British.
10:59Um, client input's very important.
11:01Can I suggest one lump instead of two?
11:04It's just, you're in here doing something for us.
11:07Why not let us do something for you?
11:09Like, help you cut back in the old sugar intake, eh?
11:12What?
11:13Well, it's not just the teeth that suffer, Graham.
11:15It's heart, lungs, blood.
11:17And let's face it, you are looking a little pasty, aren't you?
11:22Not at all.
11:23Right, let's get back to the problem.
11:25What's the best way to start?
11:27Oh, well, I usually...
11:28I think the first thing to do is take you on a tour of the building
11:31and at least you understand what the problem is.
11:33Have fun with it, Mr. Pradosk.
11:38Have fun with it, Mr. Pradosk.
11:40It's outside.
11:40Right, Colin, this is Mr. Graham Hanson,
11:43the man who's going to cure our building.
11:45Oh, that's wonderful.
11:51And how exactly are you going to do that, Mr. Hanson?
11:55Oh, well...
11:55Plants, Colin.
11:56Graham is going to introduce us to various new types of plant
11:59which will increase the ionisation of the atmosphere.
12:02Right, Graham?
12:03That's sometimes part of the solution.
12:04It's a little more complicated.
12:06Well, no point sitting around here all day.
12:07Let's go do it, shall we?
12:08Finish the copy, Graham.
12:10Right.
12:13Interestingly enough, Graham,
12:15I'm pretty sure my own predicament is a result of SBS.
12:18You think so?
12:20Well, you tell me, do Rotarians normally behave like this?
12:24Not usually, no.
12:25Precisely.
12:26Something must have made them do it.
12:28Yes.
12:28Here you, Colin.
12:29Follow me, Graham.
12:34You don't mind starting here, do you?
12:36Oh, no, of course.
12:36I'll start setting up.
12:37Good.
12:38It's just I've got a rather urgent errand to fulfil.
12:40Straight ahead, Colin.
12:48You're not expecting me to do it from here, are you, Colin?
12:51It's the step, Mr. Britters.
12:52I hope it won't slide forward until you...
12:54Let's try one of the cubicles, shall we?
12:56Facing forward, Mr. Britters, or would you like me to turn you around to it and sit down?
12:59Just get me in there, please.
13:01Excuse me?
13:02Yes, you with a squash racket.
13:04Forward, Colin.
13:08I wonder do you realise exactly how dangerous that is?
13:12What?
13:12Swinging a squash racket in a confined space.
13:15Supposing some small child came running in here looking for its father.
13:18You could have slammed it in its jaw and disfigured it for life.
13:21There's nobody here.
13:22But there could have been.
13:25Statistics show there's one accident per year in a leisure centre with a squash racket.
13:29Oh, do they really?
13:31Oh, dear.
13:32Well, let's do our bit for safety, shall we?
13:36There.
13:37One accident with a squash racket.
13:39Now I suppose we can relax for the rest of the year.
13:41Can't we?
13:45Now, Graham, I'm glad you witnessed that.
13:48Little outbursts like that are all too common here.
13:50And, of course, it's innocent bystanders like yourself who get hurt.
13:54What?
13:55That is your jacket, isn't it?
14:01Oh, my pen.
14:03He's broken my pen.
14:05Precisely.
14:06My grandmother gave me that pen.
14:08I don't suppose you're too pleased about the jacket either.
14:11It's probably written off a perfectly good suit, hasn't it?
14:14Golly, give him a handkerchief.
14:16Never mind about giving it back, Mr. Hanson.
14:18It's done its three weeks.
14:30How's it going then, Graham?
14:31I'm not getting any reading.
14:34You did plug it in, did you?
14:35Oh, yes.
14:36Yeah, I don't understand it.
14:38Would you like Colin to switch it on?
14:42It's not switched on.
14:43Not until you give the word, Graham.
14:44You're the governor.
14:46I'd like it switched on, please.
14:50We've had a lot of trouble in this particular room, Graham.
14:53Yes.
14:54I often go by here and people are always irritable, edgy, accident prone.
14:59Yeah, I'll try over here.
15:05These things are amazing, aren't they?
15:07What?
15:08Last year, I went on a weekend computer course myself, and I remember the bloke there actually told me...
15:13What are you doing?
15:14Please, that's my personal property.
15:16It's not even paid for...
15:20There's no need to panic, Graham.
15:21I wasn't going to do anything silly.
15:23Let me show you what I was going to do.
15:24No, no, don't touch it.
15:26Please, just don't touch anything.
15:32LAUGHTER
15:39Now, that is exactly what I've been talking about.
15:43A moment's carelessness and bang goes a very nice little computer.
15:47Thank you very much.
15:48Costing how much, Graham?
15:50It took me six months to program that.
15:53Now you know why we need this business sorting out.
15:57Come on, I'll show you some more.
15:59The gym, Colleen.
16:04He's blaming the brickwork now.
16:06Hi, Gavin.
16:07You wouldn't believe it.
16:08He's got a consultant in, testing the building
16:10to see why it makes people angry.
16:12What are you looking at?
16:13It's Ben.
16:14He's got a little friend.
16:16Has he?
16:17I didn't think there was room to...
16:20Good Lord!
16:22They've been playing together all morning, Carol says.
16:25Really?
16:25Yes, they seem to be getting on rather well.
16:29Look, he's playing peek-a-boo.
16:32Intelligent animals, Mice.
16:33He seems really happy, doesn't he?
16:35I was just saying,
16:37it's almost as if he prefers the mouse's company to mine.
16:41Well, you can understand that, Carol.
16:42Can you?
16:43Well, I mean, you're out here working,
16:46serving customers and so on.
16:47That mouse is with him all the time.
16:49Perhaps he'll grow up like Mowgli.
16:50Thinking his real parents are mice.
16:52He could learn their language.
16:53The secret ways of the skirting board.
16:56Oh, won't be joking, Carol.
16:58Yes, that you were.
17:00Of course that you were.
17:01Grab a little, Colin.
17:02Don't spare her on the horses.
17:05Over to the desk.
17:07All right, Carol.
17:10Julie, do you think you can lend us a couple of aspirin?
17:12Graham here says he's feeling a bit headachy.
17:14A headache.
17:16I wonder what brought that on.
17:18Nothing to do but stand around, Gavin.
17:20Oh, just, er, hopping down to the gymnasium, Mr British.
17:24If you want to do something useful,
17:25check the car park for litter.
17:27Yes, Mr British.
17:28Right, about turn, Colin.
17:30Last stop before home.
17:32Oh!
17:35You all right, Graham?
17:37I think we ran over this quarter, Mr British.
17:46So, Ben, are you going to spend all day in there with the mouse?
17:49Or are you going to come out and have a little play with Mummy?
18:14Thank you, Colin.
18:18There's not a lot of point testing in here, I'm afraid.
18:20I beg to disagree, Graham.
18:23Believe it or not, this is one of our worst areas.
18:25Only last week we had the entire Swedish netball team,
18:28plus reserves, on this floor in tears.
18:30I thought in my own eyes.
18:31It's true.
18:32Mr British, that's for something.
18:33I meant there's no point testing a room this size.
18:36Sick building syndrome is associated with confined spaces.
18:40Artificial lighting.
18:41Well, I still think it's worth checking.
18:44But you can't...
18:47All right, all right, I'll do it.
18:49I'm sure these people won't complain.
18:51Ah, now there you touch on a sore point, Graham.
18:54Sadly, these good ladies couldn't complain, even if they wanted to.
18:58That's why they're here.
18:59What?
19:00They're doing an awareness and assertiveness course.
19:02You see, Graham, the ladies in this room lack self-confidence.
19:08Perfectly understandable, as far as I'm concerned.
19:11They're all rather unattractive, overweight.
19:12In fact, they look very bright.
19:15So what we do is we bring them in here to persuade them
19:18that despite all that, they still have a real individual worth and value.
19:22Isn't that right, Marjorie?
19:23My name's Rosemary.
19:25Ah, of course it is.
19:27Good old lady.
19:28Well done, that girl.
19:29I've had enough of this.
19:30Pardon?
19:31I'm sorry.
19:32I can't stand here and listen to any more of this.
19:34I'm going home.
19:36That's interesting.
19:37It's happening to you now, isn't it?
19:40What?
19:41Irritable, upset.
19:42That's the precise syndrome we're talking about, Graham.
19:45No, it's not.
19:46It's quite different.
19:48He's getting it, isn't he, Colin?
19:49Well.
19:50Oh, don't talk rubbish.
19:52Graham, I'm sorry, but those of us who've learned to live with it
19:55can see it very clearly in others, and you are getting it.
19:58I'm not.
19:59You are.
19:59I'm not.
20:00I'm afraid you are.
20:01I am bloody not.
20:02Look, Graham, we all know that you broke your little computer,
20:06but I must ask you to control your frustration,
20:09particularly in front of these inadequate women.
20:12I'm not doing it again.
20:15You don't have to stay here, you know.
20:16I had to.
20:18It's my job to sit here and listen to idiots like this
20:20because I need the money.
20:21But you don't.
20:23You can leave.
20:25All of you, go on.
20:27Get out when you can.
20:28Go on, just get your coat on and leave.
20:40Well, just don't come crying to me when you're hungry and it's dinner time.
20:44All right, everyone outside, please, as quickly and quietly as you can.
20:49Very calm.
20:50No need to panic.
20:51What's happening, Mr. Britters?
20:52Is there another fire?
20:53I've decided to close the building, Laura.
20:55It's certainly not safe.
20:56Why not?
20:57We've had another accident.
20:58What happened?
21:00Unfortunately, Graham has been flattened by Mrs. Burt Kennedy.
21:04Momentary lapse in concentration and down she came.
21:06I'm sorry, Laura.
21:07We can't let anyone back inside until we've got more plants in.
21:11What?
21:12More greenery, Laura.
21:13Help regulate the atmosphere.
21:14Make sure this sort of thing doesn't happen again.
21:17This way, ladies.
21:17Come on.
21:18Straight out through, please, Gabby.
21:20Give him a hand, Colin.
21:21This is an emergency situation, Colin.
21:22Give him a hand.
21:23If he burns, he burns, Ben.
21:25That's the way it goes.
21:27Straight out.
21:28Straight out, please.
21:29Everyone out.
21:30Is that everyone?
21:32Everyone outside?
21:33Good.
21:45We've got all the staff outside, Mr. Britters.
21:47I just wondered what you wanted them to do.
21:49I think as long as we're out of this place, Laura, that's the main thing.
21:52The best thing to do is send them home, then ask volunteers to come in tomorrow with pot plants.
21:58You're not going anywhere, are you, Mr. Britters?
22:01Don't you start, Laura.
22:03Right, can we go to your office, please?
22:11Mr. Britters, could we have a talk?
22:13Wonderful idea, Laura.
22:15To fix your time with Julie, I'll be only too pleased.
22:16I meant now, Mr. Britters.
22:18Laura, we're in the middle of a considerable crisis.
22:20I have to go and...
22:21Yes, Mr. Britters?
22:23As long as you can keep it down to five minutes.
22:25I'm very busy.
22:32Mr. Britters, why don't you listen to people?
22:35What?
22:36You never hear what people say.
22:38Laura, I had a medical three months ago.
22:40My hearing is A1.
22:41No, I don't mean that.
22:42I mean, you never hear what people say.
22:45Like just now, when I asked if we could have a talk.
22:47I didn't say, Mr. Britters, could we have a talk?
22:49I said, Mr. Britters, could we have a talk?
22:52And you didn't hear the difference.
22:54What difference?
22:57Well, the first would have meant I'd like a chat sometime.
23:00But the second means, if we don't talk now,
23:03I will probably self-destruct.
23:06Right.
23:07People don't just speak in words, Mr. Britters.
23:09They give hidden messages on how they say things.
23:11And if you don't receive those messages,
23:13that's when you upset people.
23:16Laura, are you trying to tell me I've upset someone?
23:19No, Mr. Britters.
23:20Not someone.
23:20Everyone.
23:21You upset the staff, the customers, your wife.
23:24Helen?
23:24Yes.
23:25She's my wife.
23:26I love her.
23:27Why would I upset her?
23:28I know, Mr. Britters, but you still...
23:29Name one time.
23:30Name one time, Laura Lansing, I've upset my wife.
23:35You remember the birthday present you bought her last week?
23:37The moped, yes.
23:38A blue moped with big yellow oil skins and a yellow helmet with,
23:42Hi, I'm Helen, written on the front of it.
23:44Right.
23:45So she could pop into town whenever she wanted.
23:47It was a very generous present, Mr. Britters, but it embarrassed her.
23:50It wasn't what she wanted.
23:52It was.
23:53Of course it was.
23:54I asked her if she liked it and she said, yes, it was fine.
23:57Now, that's exactly my point, Mr. Britters.
23:59If she'd said, oh, fantastic, a moped, it's just what I've always wanted, how wonderful,
24:04then you could have been fairly sure it was okay.
24:06But she didn't.
24:07She said, yes, it's fine, and that means it wasn't.
24:11Well, I'm sorry, Laura.
24:13You've completely lost me there.
24:15Why would my wife say the opposite to what she means?
24:17Perhaps she didn't want to hurt your feelings.
24:20Sorry?
24:21Mr. Britters, if someone gave you a present, you wouldn't just say you didn't like it, would you?
24:27Yes.
24:28You would.
24:29Tactfully, of course, Laura.
24:31Right, one Christmas, Helen bought me a tie.
24:33And I told her in the gentlest possible way, I didn't think the colour went with the material or any
24:38of my clothes.
24:39What did she say?
24:40I can't remember.
24:41I think she had to go and check something in the kitchen.
24:44Anyway, she gave me the money and I bought this one, which I treasure particularly because it came from her.
24:54Mr. Britters, could I suggest a little experiment?
24:58Hmm?
25:03I'm not convinced about this, Laura.
25:06I just think we should try it, that's all.
25:12You want me to ask her if she really enjoyed getting that moped for a birthday?
25:17Yes.
25:18And if she says, yes, it was fine...
25:20That means, no, it wasn't.
25:22Then you want me to ask her if she wouldn't rather have had a little car instead?
25:26And if she says, no, no, not really...
25:29That means, yes, she would, much rather.
25:33Are you sure about this, Laura?
25:35Fairly sure.
25:36Ah, so what if that you...
25:38No, no, that means I'm positive.
25:41I wish people would say what they mean.
25:42It's all rather confusing.
25:44It's called a subject, Mr. Britters.
25:49Look, here's your gun as well.
25:51I'll put it to her inside.
25:53Good luck.
25:59Everything all right, Gordon?
26:00You're fine, my love, just fine.
26:02Honey, I rang earlier and they said you were still stuck, so I thought I'd bring you some
26:06sandwiches in case you don't go home with a supper.
26:08Thoughtful as ever, my darling, but no thanks.
26:10I shan't be much longer.
26:12Well, you're not coming home like that, are you?
26:14Stone Mason's due here any minute.
26:16Had to pick up some Connemara marble at Gatwick and he's coming straight over.
26:20Well, as long as you're all right.
26:22I suppose I'd better get back to the kids, then.
26:25Helen?
26:26Yes?
26:27Moped going all right, is it?
26:29Yes, thank you.
26:31And you like it, do you?
26:33What?
26:34The moped.
26:35Yes, yes, it's fine.
26:40I was just wondering if perhaps you wouldn't have preferred a car instead.
26:44Well, I'd...
26:45No, no, not really.
26:49If you would, we'll get rid of the moped and buy one.
26:53Oh, God, seriously?
26:55Oh, yes.
26:56Oh, God.
26:58I mean, it seems so I'm not grateful.
27:00It was a very kind present.
27:03I'll take it back down the garage in the morning.
27:06Oh, God.
27:13Oh, dear, I've got lipstick on, Andy.
27:15I'm sorry, it's just a...
27:16It's just a lot.
27:18Oh, God.
27:19Oh, God.
27:21Oh, super super, then, darling.
27:29How did it go?
27:31Extraordinary, Laura.
27:32Quite extraordinary.
27:34She looks pretty happy.
27:36I haven't seen her like that in years.
27:39Laura, you're a smarter girl than you look.
27:43People saying one thing and meaning the exact opposite,
27:46who'd have thought it, eh?
27:47Oh, indeed, eh?
27:49Are you the bloke with his feet set in concrete?
27:52Ah, the worthy stonemason.
27:56I'm sorry I'm late.
27:57I came over as quick as I could.
27:59Not to worry, Mr Burridge.
28:00My time has been most profitably spent.
28:03Now, let's have a look.
28:05Always good to see an expert at work, Laura.
28:08You enjoy this work, do you, Mr Burridge?
28:12Yeah, fine.
28:15Ah.
28:17So you'd rather be doing something else, would you?
28:21Not really, no.
28:24What is it you particularly dislike about your job, Mr Burridge?
28:28The lack of mental challenge, perhaps?
28:30What?
28:31I can quite understand that.
28:33Not a lot of brain power required in heaving lumps are off around all day.
28:36Certainly no life for the intelligence, eh?
28:38Mr. Bishops.
28:39Don't stop me now, Laura.
28:40I'm just getting the hang of this.
28:40I'm just getting the hang of this.
29:33I'm just getting the hang of this.
