00:08Music
00:29I want all the locks changed on the house,
00:31and starting with the surgery.
00:34Yeah, as soon as possible.
00:36Oh, that'd be fine, yes.
00:38Good, all right.
00:39I'll see you later.
00:40Goodbye.
00:42Oh, I thought I heard you.
00:45Morning, Ethel.
00:46Yeah, you get earlier every morning.
00:49What's all this?
00:50Are you going to move all this, or have I got to dust round it?
00:53No, just leave them where they are, Ethel.
00:55You needn't dust the table this morning.
00:56Oh, having a sort out, are you?
00:59I think I keep mislaying things.
01:01You want a system?
01:02Either that, or I need some qualified help.
01:05A receptionist, perhaps, a medical secretary, that sort of thing.
01:08Yeah.
01:08And where are you going to put up?
01:10Well, the hall's large enough, I see.
01:12Or a desk in the waiting room.
01:14Oh, yes.
01:14Just a thought.
01:15More furniture under my feet.
01:18Ethel, if I do decide to employ someone, I'll make sure that they meet with your approval.
01:22Yes, well, so long as they understand that you are my employer, I'm not taking no orders from Underling.
01:29And now, I'm going to finish clearing off the waiting room before the walking wounded clutter up everything.
01:36Hey, Ethel, now that you've decided that Nick Cotton is no longer Jack the Ripper, in fact, he's really quite
01:41a decent chap,
01:43has he been to visit you?
01:44Oh, yes.
01:44I mean, has he been in your room?
01:45Yes, a couple of times Willie was my chaperone. Why do you want to know that?
01:51Just curious.
01:52Yes, that's what killed the cat.
01:54You still at it?
01:55Got to. Got to get the blood running again, haven't I?
02:00Where you been?
02:01Don't start.
02:02Your bed haven't been slept in.
02:04I was gambling, weren't I?
02:05Oh, Nick.
02:06With mates, small-time stuff. Nothing to get your knickers in a twist about.
02:10Oh, don't be so rude.
02:11Here.
02:13Did all right, though. Made a few bob.
02:15It's what it leads to that worries me. I mean, look at our league.
02:18Oh, I'm not in his league, am I? I ain't that stupid.
02:21I'm glad to hear it.
02:22Here. I've got a fiver.
02:23I thought you said you'd done all right.
02:25Yeah, I did. I've got a pocket full of 50p's and they're weighing me down, haven't they?
02:28So you want them to weigh me down instead?
02:30No. You're always going on about wanting to change at the laundrette, aren't you?
02:33Oh. Oh, all right, then. Give us a minute.
02:39You've got to be late.
02:40Yeah, I know. It wouldn't have happened if Rambo Features hadn't monopolised the bathroom.
02:43Oh, I'll have a word with him.
02:45As it happens, I wanted to be earlier this morning. I want to see Debs before I go pick up
02:47Michelle.
02:48You know, about the business.
02:49Which I reckon Loftellian could be really big with her at the helm.
02:51You like her, don't you?
02:53Yeah, like every other hot-blooded male in Walford.
02:55No, you started to say I like Simon.
02:57Well, do you blame me? I'd rather I went the other way with your mum.
03:02Ian, I know it's none of my business, but just so long as you show a bit of respect for
03:06people, eh?
03:08I mean, they'll think more of you in the long run.
03:10Don't treat everyone like you would your old trainers.
03:12You know, kick them in the corner of the wardrobe when you've got no more use for them.
03:16What's up, Mum?
03:17Nothing's up.
03:19But people like you, Ian. You're likeable.
03:23Don't go like all the rest, eh?
03:25Yeah, he's not the boy.
03:26Said he'd have made himself useful.
03:28Redecorate the place for us.
03:30I don't need it.
03:31I don't know.
03:32Yeah, well, he'll leave my room just as it is, all right?
03:33That's the way I like it.
03:35Tell her, Mum. See you later.
03:36Tell her.
03:36Who's wrong useful?
03:38Pete, he's late this morning because he couldn't get in at the bathroom.
03:42How do you think he feels having to kip on the sofa because Simon's taken over his room?
03:45This is his home and all, you know.
03:47He was here before Simon.
03:49I don't know what you're going on about, both of you.
03:51Simon's a good kid.
03:52No one's saying any different.
03:54But Ian's a good kid at all.
03:55That time someone told him.
03:57Oh, you didn't think he was that great when you found those magazines, did you?
04:00I know.
04:01I'm just dope and that's a two-day wonder.
04:03It's not like Ian at all, that.
04:05And you were supposed to have had to talk to him.
04:07Oh, I know, I know.
04:09Oh, Pete, look, I don't want to be a nag.
04:11Oh, come on, Evie.
04:12But you never know where that sort of thing's going to lead to.
04:15I've read articles about it, Pete.
04:17Seen programmes on the telly.
04:19It can make your mind twisted.
04:20Make you think of women in a perverted way.
04:22That's a bit strong, isn't it?
04:24It's just a bit of a laugh.
04:25Oh, it's about as funny as a video nasty.
04:28Those magazines were disgusting.
04:30Oh, you're really on your high horse today, aren't you?
04:32I just don't want Ian to turn out...
04:34I like that.
04:36Oh, all right, then.
04:37If it means that much to you, I'll have word with him today.
04:40All right? Fair enough? Suit?
04:41Well, thanks.
04:42I was hoping it meant that much to you and all.
04:44Oh, Kath, all fellas go through it.
04:46They go through it and it's all over and done with.
04:49All right, you two.
04:50Pack it up.
04:51Not in front of the lodger.
04:52Look, I've got to get him back to that stall.
04:53Probably losing money sitting here.
04:54See you both later.
04:55See you later, mate.
04:56Don't make it late tonight.
04:57I'm sick of wasting good food.
05:02It's a lovely morning, Kath.
05:05Hey, you seen any good movies lately?
05:08Yeah.
05:08Snow White.
05:10Oh, sorry.
05:11Fick the wrong moment, eh?
05:13Look, if I could just have a quick word with you about the bathroom.
05:17Ian does have to get to school, you know.
05:18Yeah, we can't all be loud as, can we?
05:21Joke.
05:22If you could try and arrange your timetable
05:24so that Ian gets in the bathroom first on school days,
05:26then I'm sure the run in this house would be a lot smoother.
05:28It's no sooner said than done.
05:31I've been a bit thoughtless all round, really, haven't I?
05:35Is it all right if I have a quick word, too?
05:37I mean, like, man to man.
05:40Heart to heart.
05:42Would you mind sitting down for five minutes?
05:51We haven't exactly hit it off, have we?
05:53I wouldn't say that.
05:54No, you wouldn't, because you're too polite.
05:56I wouldn't, because I don't happen to think it's true.
05:58Oh, come on.
05:59I'll get on your nerves.
05:59It's understandable, isn't it?
06:01I'll turn up here out the blue,
06:02get treated like a visiting celebrity,
06:04monopolise Dad, bring him home late for meals,
06:06take over Ian's room, make him late for school.
06:08It's all pretty thick-skinned stuff.
06:11A bit insensitive, really, isn't it?
06:13I know you don't mean anything.
06:15Yeah, well, I'm not an idiot.
06:16And I do have eyes in my head.
06:18Now, maybe it's time I was moving on,
06:20as I say in all the best Westerns.
06:22I'm not trying to kick you out.
06:23Pete and I, we...
06:23I know you're not.
06:24Now, when I say moving on,
06:25I don't mean leaving the district.
06:27I mean moving on from this place.
06:28No, you stay as long as you like.
06:29No, no, I think it's best
06:30if the happy home is left to its own devices.
06:33I can find somewhere else easy.
06:35Anyway, I think it's about time I got a job.
06:39But what I mean is, Kef,
06:40I'm not about to upset the status quo.
06:43Thanks, Simon.
06:44You see, I'm not such a bad lad after all.
06:47Yeah, well, you took long enough to answer.
06:49Yeah, well, I normally hardly ever answer the bell.
06:51Why not?
06:52Well, you could have been someone from the social,
06:54the police, or me family or something.
06:56Oh, I see what you mean.
06:57Look, we'll work out a code if you like.
06:59I'll ring three times, then you'll know it's me.
07:01Okay.
07:02Look, I haven't got long.
07:03I've got to get myself together for work.
07:04I was just wondering if you'd be around later on.
07:06Yeah, I'm always around.
07:08Yeah, well, we had a good time the other night, didn't we?
07:10Just thought we could repeat the same.
07:12Find a lightly punter.
07:14Know what I mean?
07:14Yeah, it was a good evening, wasn't it, eh?
07:16Well, there's plenty more where that came from.
07:18Oh, I thought it was really funny.
07:20Even Annie enjoyed herself.
07:22All that food and the garlic.
07:23I would have liked it.
07:24And everyone getting up and dancing afterwards.
07:27I haven't enjoyed myself so much for years, you know.
07:29Let's do it again, then.
07:31It's good for you.
07:32Hey, Sheena, why are you doing this?
07:35I mean, you don't know me from Adam, do you?
07:38Why are you taking such an interest in me?
07:40Kid, I could have been you.
07:43I nearly was.
07:45And I didn't have the baby.
07:47And when I look at you sometimes, I wish I had.
07:50But I can just see myself in you, that's all.
07:53And if someone don't take an interest in you,
07:55you fall flat on your face.
07:58No one's arguing, Shell.
07:59Let's get that clear from the start.
08:01You want the baby?
08:02All right, we accept that.
08:03We even admire you for it.
08:05But why now?
08:06Why this minute?
08:07Yeah, the christening will be over soon.
08:08Can't you let's get that little vent out of the way first?
08:10I've told you before, I thought we'd agreed.
08:13I want to tell everyone now.
08:15But why?
08:17Because not telling everyone is what always happens.
08:20You try and keep it a secret as long as it's humanly possible.
08:23Well, I'm the one who's asking why.
08:26So I'm having a baby.
08:27And I'm happy about that.
08:29And I don't want this baby brought into the world with a feeling of deception going on.
08:33I'm sick of the way things are done in the old days.
08:35I think we've all grown up a bit since then.
08:38Nearly.
08:39You're on your own head being.
08:40Yeah, if that's the way you'll want it.
08:42Hello.
08:43Here we go, thank you.
08:44I'll see you.
08:45Yeah, all right, love.
08:46Hello.
08:47What was all that about, Shell?
08:48You ready to want to know?
08:49Yeah, of course.
08:50I'm from the vast double-wars.
08:51Well, you're about to get a second cousin.
08:53Hmm?
08:54In fact, you're one of the first to know.
08:55I'm pregnant.
08:58I'm going to have a baby.
09:00How?
09:01How?
09:02Do you want me to draw your diagrams?
09:03No, I mean...
09:05Look, are you having a joke or something, Shell?
09:07You can ask your mum and dad.
09:08They already know.
09:09But you're not old enough.
09:11You're not even married.
09:12Grow up, Ian.
09:14Are you going to get married?
09:15Of course I'm not.
09:16Well, why not?
09:17Look, people always get married.
09:18Because I don't want to.
09:20Look, I'm having a baby.
09:21And I want this out in the open.
09:23Not swept under some grubby carpet, OK?
09:26Still don't understand why you don't want to get married.
09:29Who is he?
09:30Mind your own business.
09:32No, I mean...
09:32Well, do I know him?
09:35God, they're going to kill me at school.
09:38Ian, I'm the one who's having the baby, not you.
09:41Here, shouldn't you be sitting down or something, Shell?
09:45Oh, the float's gone.
09:47Ethel, how much was in here?
09:49Oh, quite a lot.
09:50More than usual.
09:51Nearly 20 pounds.
09:53Oh.
09:53I wanted to take it home, but I didn't want to be mugged in the square.
09:56Yeah, well, it's gone now.
09:57Holly, look.
10:00We've been done.
10:01Oh, this will play havoc with my nerves, havoc.
10:04Oh, no.
10:05How did they get in?
10:07What's the door forced?
10:08No, and the windows are all intact.
10:11Well, it's an inside job, if you ask me.
10:14Ethel, do you know what you're saying?
10:15There's only three sets of keys to this premises.
10:18The governor's, dots, and mine.
10:20Oh, you've been using dots, so if it's an inside job, it means it must be one of us.
10:24And if Reanie and the Britannia can learn, so can I.
10:26And she's as thick as a bald in our sandwich.
10:28Yeah, I know, Mum.
10:29But isn't it a bit upmarket for you?
10:31I mean golf.
10:31Yes, I mean golf.
10:33That is the object of the exercise.
10:34I mean, why shouldn't your mother go upmarket?
10:36I can pronounce lead-fair milk along with the rest of them, you know.
10:39Oh, oh, they've been done.
10:43Oh, I'll have to sit down and collect my thoughts.
10:47In any case, I might be a suspect.
10:49Ethel, where are my glasscloths?
10:50Oh, Pauline's doing them.
10:52I haven't got the concentration.
10:54And who's been done?
10:55Well, the laundrette, of course.
10:57They've had a break-in.
10:58Oh, my God.
10:59This district will be next.
11:01You'll see.
11:01There's me trying to better myself.
11:02I don't know why I'm bleeding.
11:03You better.
11:04Come here.
11:05Ready about the laundrette?
11:05Yeah, we just picked it up on the Jungle Telegraph here.
11:08Oh, well, here's another bit of news for you.
11:10Oh, Sharon already knows.
11:12But I thought it was about time everyone else knew
11:14before the gossips found me out.
11:17I'm pregnant.
11:19Yes, little Michelle Fowler from 45 Albert Square is in the club.
11:23But she's happy.
11:25And she's going to continue at school and take her exams.
11:28Wow.
11:29You might just as well have published it in the Walford Gazette.
11:31Yeah, well, I just wanted you to know
11:33I want it all above board and out in the open.
11:35I don't want no gossips or twitching curtains.
11:37Oh, well, I admire your bottle, darling.
11:39Good luck to you.
11:41Congratulations are in order.
11:42Thanks, Alan.
11:43Anyone we know?
11:45No, I don't think so.
11:47I wonder who did it.
11:48Eh?
11:49The laundry matter.
11:49I wonder who did it.
11:50You don't need Juliet Vavo to work that out, do you?
11:52Yeah, I've proven it's a little bit of the artist,
11:53but obviously our local tearaway
11:55would steal my motor while he was birdie.
11:56Oh, are you still going on about there?
11:58I thought she was going to the motor fair
11:59to fix yourself up.
12:00That's my other way.
12:02Oh, aye, aye.
12:03I shall pop in for approximately ten minutes
12:05to pick up the necessary literature.
12:07Now, don't tell me.
12:07We're off the screen the rest of the day.
12:09Most of the night.
12:09There's a certain part.
12:10You should be my name, Mr. Colt.
12:12You love it, don't you?
12:13Living on the edge.
12:14It's her birthday.
12:15I reckon we at least deserve that much.
12:17Oh, yeah?
12:17What's your boy?
12:18Now, that will be telling you.
12:19That's why I decided to have a clear out.
12:22And look, I found these at the back of the cupboard.
12:25Ethel, if it wasn't for the fact
12:27that Den would hang, draw and call to me,
12:29I would raise your wages.
12:31Look at the workmanship.
12:33Real class.
12:35Look at them dinky little booties.
12:36Yes, but who's are they?
12:38They are going to be mine.
12:40Den's finally taken me seriously, Ethel.
12:42I'm going up market, and this is the first stage.
12:46I can't really follow all this.
12:49Ethel, Den's bought me a present.
12:51It's supposed to be a surprise,
12:52which is why he's hidden it.
12:54So all we've got to do is keep her lips buttoned.
12:57I don't want anything in the world
12:59to spoil my lovely husband's surprise.
13:01Oh, seal lips.
13:03Shh.
13:03We're the only ones that's been done.
13:05Right.
13:06Where's he been?
13:07Out.
13:07That's all he'd say.
13:09Can't get a thing out of the wife.
13:10She don't speak a word in English.
13:11Yeah, well, what did he say?
13:12He don't want the bill brought in.
13:14What?
13:15No, he says they're more trouble than they're worth
13:16and they won't do anything anyway,
13:17and he'll be along later.
13:19But he's got to get the police in.
13:20It's a matter of principle.
13:22Who do you suppose done it?
13:23Kids, I suppose.
13:24Yeah.
13:25Where would they get the keys from?
13:26Do you leave yours lying about?
13:28No, I don't.
13:29Anyway, I'm sure I wouldn't do anything like this
13:31and neither would Ian.
13:33No, I wouldn't mind it.
13:34Now he's on the straight and narrow.
13:35Anyway, I didn't have the keys, did I?
13:37I can't imagine effort breaking in here for a load of 50p's.
13:42Today, Clark, you're going to win friends and influence people.
13:45All you've got to do is have a bit of confidence.
13:47I mean, Debs, or Lois Lane, as she is known to her friends,
13:50is going to step in and single-handedly pull Loftelian Enterprises out of the doldrums.
13:54All you've got to do is go for it, you know, up, up and away.
13:58Sausage, chips and beans.
13:59Sausage, chips and beans.
14:01All right.
14:01What else could it have been?
14:03You could have been any number about it.
14:05No, inside job.
14:06Remember, somebody with access to the keys.
14:08I'll try one of your chips.
14:09Tell yourself, love.
14:10Here.
14:11Here.
14:11Has Nick been up to see you at your place any time since he's been working at the Rungerick?
14:15That's what the doctor asked me.
14:16Well, has he?
14:17Might have been.
14:19Did you ever leave him there on his own?
14:21Here, you're all wrong about this lad, you know.
14:25They're a bit greasy.
14:26I reckon he's down at the competition.
14:27Yeah.
14:28But how can we prove it was Nick, though?
14:30Well, especially if the governor of the place won't call the old Billy.
14:32Yeah.
14:33Is anybody waiting for two cheese rolls?
14:35No.
14:36Ah, ha, ha.
14:38I wondered how long before you'd be tempted, what you're going to have, darling?
14:41Sausage, chips and beans, please, Angie.
14:42Right.
14:43One or two sausages.
14:44Two.
14:45Cool.
14:45Should have known, shouldn't have a big boy like you.
14:47Yeah, I wanted to have a chat, actually.
14:48For you, young man, anything?
14:50Yeah, it was a bit cramped over at Dad's flat.
14:52So I'm looking for a place of me own.
14:53Well, it would be cramped, wouldn't it?
14:54Your dad breathing down your neck.
14:55Yeah, so if you're here of anywhere going, perhaps you'll let me know, ain't?
14:58I certainly will, darling.
15:00What is it, then?
15:00Bachelor pad, all mod cons?
15:02Yeah, and I'm not exactly flush at the moment.
15:03Right, I'll keep my ear to the ground for you, all right?
15:05You want to go up the market?
15:06There's loads of shops with little adverts in the windows.
15:09I don't think Mr. Wicks wants to learn French.
15:11Is that too lofty?
15:13Yeah, also, I'm going to look out for a job.
15:14That makes a change, don't it, these days?
15:16Where do your talents lie, exactly?
15:18Well, I'm quite musical.
15:19Yeah, there's not a lot of call for that, though.
15:21No, I'm turning my hand to most things, really.
15:22You don't say.
15:23Yeah, driving, did that for a while.
15:25I've only done a bit of bar work.
15:26Do tell me more.
15:27Yeah, it's made me stepfathers.
15:28You taught me the lot, you know, from the cellar
15:30right to the little science green outside the front.
15:32Yeah, you any good at it?
15:33He said he'd always give me a reference.
15:35I'll bet everybody says that to you, doesn't they?
15:37Well, it's all personality, innit?
15:38Keeping everyone happy, being the life and soul of the party,
15:40then no-one knows it's only over there find us.
15:42Yeah, we're a bit understaffed here, as a matter of fact.
15:45Mind you, I'll have to have a word with Din.
15:47We could give you a try out.
15:48I'll speak to his lordship, eh?
15:50Yeah, thanks, Anne.
15:51Well, think about it.
15:52We could do worse.
15:53What I really need, you see, is a living barman.
15:57Mind you, you might be a bit young, eh?
15:58All right, Anne-Hare.
16:00Cheeky thing.
16:00Come on in, let's have your money.
16:02Dot, I wanted you to be one of the first to know.
16:05I'm pregnant.
16:05Oh, my God.
16:07If you'll excuse the expression.
16:09Yeah, I thought I'd stop the town's wagging
16:10before they get a chance to start.
16:11Miss Cheryl, you know I wouldn't do a thing like that.
16:14Bit strong, wasn't it?
16:15Yeah, that's what I thought.
16:16Is it true?
16:17I'd say so.
16:17We've known for ages.
16:18There she's got it in her head
16:20to tell the entire world.
16:21Poor kid.
16:22I feel sorry for you, mate.
16:23I ain't as sorry as us, though, mate.
16:25Is there anything I can do?
16:26No, we haven't managed.
16:27Who's the bloke?
16:28She ain't telling.
16:29When she does, I'll personally tear him
16:31limb from limb.
16:33Yeah.
16:34And I'll be there with you, mate.
16:36We're outside.
16:37I, uh, I heard about Michelle.
16:42Yeah, well, you would, wouldn't you?
16:43Now it's in Niamh on top of Tar Bridge.
16:45Ah, sir.
16:46I know it's not going to be easy.
16:48It's not going to be a bed of roses for us.
16:50And I can't say I'm in favor of it.
16:52But I think the way she's chosen to go about things,
16:55well, I think it's the right way.
16:57Well, that's a matter of opinion.
16:58I thought the megaphone was going a bit over the top.
17:04I've, uh, had a letter from Niamh.
17:07Last.
17:08Where is it?
17:08Can I have it, please?
17:09No, I said I'd had a letter from Niamh.
17:11But why?
17:13Well, because she's my friend.
17:14She's my wife.
17:17Yeah, well, she asked me to give you a message
17:18to say that she's all right and you're not to worry.
17:21Just like that, I'm not to worry.
17:22I'm worried sick.
17:24Is that all she said?
17:26Yeah.
17:26Did she give an address?
17:29She must have done calling.
17:30Look, I have to get in touch with her.
17:32Things are happening so quickly
17:34and they're things that concern her.
17:36I can't get through all this on my own.
17:38Or what?
17:39I'm under pressure from the family.
17:40What about Niamh?
17:41Well, partly.
17:43Because it's all gone wrong.
17:45I've been summoned to Bangladesh.
17:47I'd heard.
17:48I'm to sell the shop and I'm to sell the house.
17:50How can I do all that behind Niamh's back?
17:53All right, I know I've done things in the past behind her back,
17:55but this is important.
17:56Perhaps the most important thing in our lives.
17:59You must give me her address.
18:02I can't.
18:03I promised.
18:05Then write to her for me.
18:08Explain the situation.
18:09Tell her that it affects her.
18:11All right, then I'll think about it.
18:13Someone might have broken in here.
18:14Someone might have taken a prescription pad
18:16and someone might have gone through the patient's files,
18:18but I can't be certain.
18:19Like the laundriette.
18:20How do you mean?
18:21Oh.
18:23There was a break-in overnight.
18:24Everyone suspects a certain person,
18:26but no one can be certain.
18:27Are we talking about Nick Cotton?
18:29We are.
18:30Yeah, that's who I'm thinking of, too,
18:31about a possible break-in here.
18:33Is anything missing?
18:34Yeah, just one file is missing that I can think of.
18:38I might have mislaid it.
18:39That's why I'm doing this check.
18:41But you see, we're down to might again.
18:42Oh, Lofty, come in.
18:43Oh, hello, Doc.
18:44Sorry to interrupt.
18:45I don't have time.
18:45All right.
18:46Oh, the rent.
18:47Oh, good lad.
18:48And punctual, too, eh?
18:51Lofty, I know that Nick Cotton
18:52has gone up slightly in your estimation.
18:54Has he been to your room at all?
18:55I mean, has he been in the house?
18:57Yeah, yeah, a few times.
18:58He's been to Efforts and all.
19:01You're not usually shut at that time.
19:03We went down the council.
19:04We'll see about the hours.
19:06Oh, moving away, are you?
19:09Doesn't look like it.
19:10We haven't got enough points.
19:12Oh, pity.
19:13It's been a dreadful day.
19:15Yeah.
19:16What with the laundrette break-in?
19:18Yeah, we heard.
19:19Yeah, you ought to let Tony look at your locks, you know.
19:23And then there was Michelle.
19:25She's lucky.
19:26She's raised, um...
19:27People are soon getting used to the idea.
19:29Well, I'm surprised Lou hasn't blown out of it.
19:32Lou's all right.
19:34Unless you won't come to family.
19:36Yes.
19:37I'd better get back to the sweatshop.
19:39I don't think I've forgotten.
19:42Oh.
19:44Sorry about the re-housing.
19:46Oh, it's all right, Ethel.
19:48We weren't really expecting much.
19:49I mean, we haven't even got a baby.
19:51No.
19:52Jeez, I thought you'd be ready by now.
19:54I fell asleep.
19:55I'm doing that a lot these days.
19:57Well, you're going to have to buck your ideas up, my girl.
19:59Now, get your bloody clothes on so we can get cracking.
20:03I've still not got any money, you know.
20:05What did I tell you last time?
20:06We don't need...
20:07Right.
20:08And it's the same tonight.
20:10Now, you watch your auntie Sheena and you won't go far wrong.
20:13Oh, do you think it's right, though?
20:14Of course it's right.
20:16Well, it's not wrong, is it?
20:18If blokes think we're nice enough to buy us a few drinks
20:21and stand us a slap-up meal, why should we complain?
20:23I suppose so.
20:24Hey, listen, which one?
20:25This or this?
20:26One.
20:27That one.
20:27Okay.
20:29Not working tonight, then?
20:30No, not at the moment.
20:31Just the odd dinner times.
20:32Oh, do you mind me asking what you do?
20:34It's none of your business.
20:36Oh, yeah, that's what I say.
20:38What?
20:38Sorry.
20:39None of your business.
20:41You see, I told you we were alike.
20:44I'm a stripper.
20:46Oh.
20:47Happy now?
20:48That's right.
20:49I prance around the tatty stage,
20:51whittling my backside to a grotty cassette
20:54to the saddest faces you've ever seen in your life.
20:57And I make a living.
20:59Next question.
21:01No, Kelvin, I didn't.
21:03What was all this business with stopwatches and making lists
21:06and asking us thousands of questions?
21:08I thought Loftellian,
21:09and I still don't like that name, incidentally.
21:11I thought it might have potential.
21:13I was testing that potential, that's all.
21:15And your conclusion is that there isn't any potential.
21:18After considerable thought, I have to admit,
21:20I don't believe you're onto a winner.
21:21Does that mean you're going to ditch us?
21:23Ian, I can hardly ditch what I was never actually part of.
21:25Well, we thought you was part of the team, then.
21:27Then you thought wrong, Lofty.
21:28I'm sorry if you got that impression.
21:30It was never intended.
21:31No, you just led us up the garden path.
21:33I did not.
21:33I was just looking into the business
21:35to see if there was anything there.
21:36And for me, there isn't.
21:38Look, I admire your enterprise.
21:40I really do.
21:41After due consideration, I don't think my future's in knitting.
21:44And that's it?
21:45I'm afraid so.
21:46Great.
21:47Oh, can we try again?
21:49I mean, we might make you change your mind.
21:50Don't grovel to her, Ian.
21:52Look, I was only trying to suggest an alternative.
21:54Look, lads, I'm sorry if this has got a bit out of hand.
21:57I'm sure you'll do brilliantly without any help from me whatsoever.
22:00Do you know, that's the first thing you said I actually agree with.
22:03Yeah, show it a bit late, Kat.
22:05It's all right, you'll have to manage without me.
22:07I'm on at seven.
22:08Mind you, we're getting better, though.
22:09Not earlier than last night.
22:10Yeah, sorry, Kat.
22:11It's all right.
22:12So, grab that.
22:13What have we got?
22:13Steak and mushrooms.
22:15Yeah, my favourite.
22:16Well, enjoy your meal, boys.
22:17It's in the bin.
22:19What?
22:21What's wrong with that?
22:22I'm quite enjoying this.
22:23What?
22:24A bit in the centre of the station.
22:26Thanks for sticking up for me at school today.
22:28You're going to make a habit of it?
22:29Well, you know what Gran says.
22:30It's family.
22:31We've got to stick together.
22:33Do you feel any different?
22:35Of course I feel different.
22:36You know, they're taking the mick out of me at school today.
22:38You know, because we're cousins.
22:40Said legally we'd get married.
22:42Reckon I should do a decent thing.
22:43You know, that is if I was the father.
22:45Which or not?
22:46Shell, what are we...
22:47Don't even ask it.
22:51Of course, the burning question is, what colour's the baby going to be?
22:54She's being very adult about the whole thing.
22:57In a teenage sort of way.
22:58I wonder if she's thought it through.
23:00Her entire life could finish a bit last time.
23:03Like menace.
23:03Kids, eh?
23:04They don't know they're born.
23:06I wish I knew them what I know now.
23:08Would you have behaved any differently?
23:09Oh, Deb.
23:10This is Angie you're talking to.
23:12Do I ever behave differently?
23:13Sometimes.
23:14You're on a higher level.
23:15Is that obvious, then?
23:17Yeah, of course it is.
23:18Being subtle never was my strong point, was it?
23:21Stick around, darling.
23:22I think Mr and Mrs Watts are about to embark on a good patch.
23:26He's bought me a brilliant present.
23:28Golf class.
23:28Only I'm not supposed to know because it's a surprise.
23:31The work.
23:32We're going up market after all.
23:34I'm just frangy.
23:35Yeah, it's my colour, I know.
23:37Red leather.
23:37Oh, I'm sorry I'm a bit late.
23:39Yeah, you'd better put a smile on that face.
23:41You're going to work this side of the counter.
23:42Don't worry, H.
23:43I'm going as well as you can.
23:44Yeah, I should have guessed, shouldn't I?
23:45I'm trying to be so.
23:51Of course they were put out I would have been.
23:52You led them a right merry dance.
23:54I didn't.
23:55You did.
23:55They're only kids.
23:57You took everything you said as gospel, then you just dump.
24:00You're just in a mood.
24:01No, Debs, I'm angry.
24:02You cannot use people.
24:04You can't just use them and then ditch them once they've outlived their usefulness.
24:07Mountain out of a moment.
24:09I mean, are you going to do that to me?
24:10I mean, I'm all right for a cuddle at the moment, right?
24:13What happens when you get bored?
24:15He should have brought the police in just to clear our names.
24:19I don't like walking around with a question mark over me.
24:22Have a drink, huh?
24:23Oh, thanks, darling.
24:24Same again, Ethel.
24:25I'm all right, darling.
24:28They all think he's done it, you know.
24:30They think I don't know what they're thinking, but I do.
24:33I mean, he's going to get blamed for everything in Albert Square, poor love.
24:37Father of Michelle's baby.
24:39That'll be the next rumour.
24:40It's Eve.
24:41Here, any gruffless dance, we're starving.
24:43Now, now, boys, you know there's only food at dinner time on the ass.
24:50What are you drinking, darling?
24:51Look, the law says I mustn't sell to kids who appear under 16.
24:56Nowadays, 10-year-olds look under 16.
24:58It's true.
24:59Like the 10-year-old we had a casualty last night.
25:01He almost lost an eye.
25:02Well, what about an organised display, then?
25:04I guess.
25:05We can all cut together.
25:06Yes, I eat will give us a good discount.
25:10Wait a minute.
25:11I think we've got to clear it with the council on the fire brigade first.
25:14It'd be great for the kids.
25:15You'd like that, wouldn't you?
25:17Oh, yeah, it's horrific, this.
25:18We can just align one of our sweaters,
25:20and we can all watch it go up in flames
25:21and, uh, uh, what's the matter with him, then?
25:25And you watch it in France, though, a little bit racy.
25:27I don't know. You've been to France, babe.
25:28I haven't.
25:29Do you know what they say about the French?
25:30No, I don't need to tell you, baby.
25:32Well, you know, like the L'Amour and all that.
25:33I wish I had a lot of luck in that department lately.
25:36And your mother reckons your reading habits
25:37are getting a little bit muffled.
25:39Yeah, what's that, mate?
25:40Put it this way.
25:42Most kids have got the computer weekly on it, then, babe,
25:44but you haven't.
25:45All right, there's no hassle, no problems,
25:47I don't want no excuses,
25:48but don't bring it home with you, eh?
25:51When I was your age,
25:52I'd have stuffed that sort of thing
25:53in the back of my teddy bear.
25:56Yeah, he gave me this big lecture.
25:58Thirty minutes' worth of the you, the father.
25:59There was stares to reason, didn't it?
26:01You were the number one suspect.
26:02And this would do wonders for your reputation.
26:05Who was it, Cheryl?
26:07Mind you, I'm business.
26:08You're not jealous, I am.
26:10No way, Paulie.
26:11You would have told me.
26:13Yeah, well, I wish they'd tell us.
26:22Sure.
26:24So, what do you think about your cousin, then, Michelle?
26:26She's all right?
26:27No, her condition.
26:28She seems in pretty good nick to me.
26:30All right, if you don't want to talk about it.
26:33You're going to come and work here, then?
26:34Well, I don't know, yeah.
26:35Never a dull moment.
26:37Do you think I should?
26:38Yeah, why not?
26:39You'd better go into training, though.
26:40It's tougher than the Falklands upstairs.
26:43I think I'll be a rock star.
26:44I haven't done that all week.
26:46Lofty, change the Guinness, there's a lot.
26:49Yeah, on second thoughts, I'd better change the Guinness.
26:54Same again?
26:55No.
26:56Might have a little chat.
26:58Or part service.
27:00What topic had you in mind?
27:02Start with a weather, shall we?
27:03Fairly safe ground, then.
27:05All right, dodgy ground.
27:07I see we've got the full turnout here tonight.
27:10Good old community spirit.
27:11Something's much rubbish.
27:13All good pals and jolly good company.
27:15What's that?
27:16What they're really doing?
27:17To put the knife in the way of Michelle.
27:19Do you remember Michelle?
27:21Jim's slit pregnancy.
27:23Oh, is it?
27:24She's boxed a bit clever.
27:25Announced it from the rooftop, said I can't put the knife in.
27:28I mean, you can't really gossip about some of this public knowledge.
27:30You know, can I?
27:32Of course, sir.
27:33Some people prefer to keep that sort of thing a secret.
27:37Do you think they're wise?
27:49Are you sure?
