Michael goes cap in hand to Stephen and asks if he can remain at Underworld. Stephen says he's too late as he's already taken on Nina as Nippersnapper's new Head of Design - Nina's as surprised as anyone.

00:01Sorry, I couldn't help overhearing that you're looking for a new designer.
00:04Oh, yes. He's about to start headhunting.
00:07Why, do you know someone?
00:08Yeah.
00:09Me?
00:10You?
00:11Yeah.
00:12Well, I worked at the factory a while back.
00:14I did the Priscilla range.
00:15You know, the G-strings with the upside-down hats?
00:18I can show you if you like.
00:20Oh, we're having our breakfast.
00:22Oh, no, no.
00:23I meant the designs.
00:25Oh, I see.
00:27Stephen.
00:27You know, I'd probably be looking for somebody with a tad more of qualifications.
00:33I'm doing my level three now in fashion and textiles.
00:36I'll drop your CV in when you've completed it.
00:40She said she's worked there before.
00:42She's done some work experience for Carla.
00:45We're talking about a clothing range with international distribution.
00:49No, they did produce the designs that I drew.
00:51I wasn't just making tea.
00:53He didn't get much sleep.
00:55Yeah, well, I also have a B-tech.
00:57In art and design?
00:58Oh, well, that changes everything.
01:00Stephen.
01:07Oh, these are great.
01:10Oh, look at this, Stephen.
01:12You've just seen me flick through it.
01:15Well, you're wasted here.
01:17That's all I can say.
01:18If I could design stuff like this, I'd be in Paris right now, knocking on Karl Lagerfeld's
01:24door.
01:25Karl Lagerfeld's dead.
01:26I wrote my phone letter when I was at school.
01:28Well, we cater for the high street, not the catwalk.
01:31Oh, well, I'm sure Gowdy would have designed a fast track for fresh girls if he could.
01:38Stephen, look, I know how this is going to sound and you can tell me where to go, but
01:42I've had second thoughts about Rufus's job off.
01:45Have you really?
01:46Now's not the time to relocate.
01:48Well, why move to London when you've got all the attractions of Weatherfield on your doorstep?
01:52The nightlife, the theatre district, the many wonderful museums.
01:55I don't know what's the matter with him today.
01:57I was actually thinking about my daughter.
01:59Oh.
02:00You know, it just gets a little bit wearing.
02:03You know, one minute you're screaming at me.
02:05Look, I wasn't screaming.
02:06Okay, I made a mistake and now I want to stay at Underworld.
02:10Well, I'm afraid you're too late.
02:11The job has already been offered to someone else.
02:14You've advertised already?
02:16The post's been filled.
02:18Isn't that right, Nina?
02:19Michael, meet Nibbersnappers' new head of design.
02:24Seriously?
02:25Yeah.
02:25I just wanted to see what you're made of.
02:27Most people would have given up if they'd heard their qualifications derided or slandered.
02:31But, uh, no.
02:32She went upstairs and got her work.
02:34What, work?
02:35What?
02:35No offence, but you fry bacon.
02:37She fries bacon.
02:38She's studying for her level three in fashion and textiles.
02:42Did you get your level three?
02:43I've got a business degree and I came up with Nibbersnapper.
02:47I'll take that as a no.
02:49You had a good idea coupled with a few decent designs, all of which belong to us.
02:53She's got a B-tech.
02:55All due respect, but they're still talking about her presentation
02:57when she ran out in tears.
02:58How's she going to learn if she doesn't have a bad experience or two?
03:01It'll stand her in good stead.
03:02We're distributing all over Europe and America.
03:05You can't employ her.
03:05I just did.
03:06Now get out of my sight.
03:08You don't work for us anymore.
03:09You told me exactly what you think of me and the company.
03:12Now, go back to Rufus with your tail between your legs.
03:14I am trying to eat breakfast.
03:20Oh.
03:22I suppose you need a very hard head for business these days.
03:27Don't compare yourself to Gaudi anymore.
03:30I won't.
03:31Welcome to the team.
