WEBVTT

00:00:04.659 --> 00:00:08.060
Well, who says you need an Ikea? Look at this.

00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:11.080
I must say, David, the way that you have stacked

00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:15.000
this van is astounding. Thank you. Honestly,

00:00:15.179 --> 00:00:17.800
I come here for every house I've moved into,

00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:21.120
all my rentals, all my student rentals, I just

00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:23.960
go here and I say, is that a stain of blood?

00:00:24.019 --> 00:00:26.219
I hope not. Those teenagers are going to have

00:00:26.219 --> 00:00:29.059
to clean it off anyway. There's loads of stuff

00:00:29.059 --> 00:00:31.519
you find here. I love this ditch. It's not a

00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:33.420
bad ditch. I can't get enough of it. I'm surprised

00:00:33.420 --> 00:00:36.780
you left the rug. I mean, it had some concerning

00:00:36.780 --> 00:00:39.659
stains on it that even an 18 -year -old might

00:00:39.659 --> 00:00:43.079
smell. Well, David, just because they can smell

00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:45.259
them doesn't mean to say that they won't think

00:00:45.259 --> 00:00:47.399
it's aesthetic. I don't want to give them any

00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:51.079
soft furnishings. What I want is pleather furniture.

00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:55.460
I want mismatched wood. I don't want mahogany.

00:00:55.539 --> 00:00:58.140
I don't want anything that, you know, gives the

00:00:58.140 --> 00:01:00.859
place character. No. I want it to be soulless.

00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:04.099
You want it to be wipe clean. Wipe clean and

00:01:04.099 --> 00:01:07.099
mouldy, but a bit, so I can gaslight them and

00:01:07.099 --> 00:01:09.780
go, that wasn't there when you moved in. No.

00:01:09.819 --> 00:01:11.180
Because it gets worse because they're not going

00:01:11.180 --> 00:01:13.420
to be able to afford eating, are they? No. To

00:01:13.420 --> 00:01:18.230
be honest, my rates are extortionate. But, you

00:01:18.230 --> 00:01:20.469
know, I get it from the ditch. I'm trying to

00:01:20.469 --> 00:01:23.189
keep costs low, you know. Well, you can't get

00:01:23.189 --> 00:01:27.329
much lower than a ditch. No, no. Literally, geographically,

00:01:27.349 --> 00:01:29.769
you can't get much lower than a ditch. That's

00:01:29.769 --> 00:01:31.629
what my dad always said. Well, you can get down

00:01:31.629 --> 00:01:34.170
mine. Could get down mine, you know. Geographically,

00:01:34.230 --> 00:01:37.829
David, that's lower. Or the Mariana Trench. You

00:01:37.829 --> 00:01:40.670
could go underneath the sea. Yep. But I'm scared

00:01:40.670 --> 00:01:43.989
of the sea. You should be. It's a wild mistress.

00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:47.040
Whenever I was on scene. I have a wild mistress,

00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:50.319
but anyway, sorry. No, no, go back to that one,

00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:51.859
David. You know about my affair. No. You know

00:01:51.859 --> 00:01:55.180
about my affair. Which one? Listen, I got lots

00:01:55.180 --> 00:01:57.799
of student rentals. I got a nice house. I'm going

00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:00.260
to have a mistress, aren't I? Look at that. Look

00:02:00.260 --> 00:02:02.959
at the way I did that truck. Everything in there.

00:02:03.500 --> 00:02:05.780
Piled in. You think women don't find that attractive?

00:02:06.590 --> 00:02:09.030
I don't think so. David, they've been all over

00:02:09.030 --> 00:02:13.090
you since you were the Tetris champion in 1984.

00:02:13.669 --> 00:02:16.169
I'm glad you remember that. Oh, I do. I was raging

00:02:16.169 --> 00:02:19.490
that I came in second. You know, I cried into

00:02:19.490 --> 00:02:22.669
my Burger King meal that day. Well, we can't

00:02:22.669 --> 00:02:25.530
all be winners. We can't all have a wife, a mistress

00:02:25.530 --> 00:02:50.740
and a couple of student rentals. Welcome. Back

00:02:50.740 --> 00:03:04.120
to Dunbracken. Right, check it out, right? I

00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:10.620
painted it black. Put in a massive TV. A couple

00:03:10.620 --> 00:03:16.759
of leather chairs. And a PlayStation. Oh, original.

00:03:17.180 --> 00:03:19.039
Didn't see that because it was black also. I

00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:21.860
like that everything's black. Uh -huh. Check

00:03:21.860 --> 00:03:25.180
out the sound system. Oh, that's big. It's big.

00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:27.960
That's massive. Is that stereo? All the stereo

00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:30.900
you can get. I'll probably get blown away from,

00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:34.539
like, the TV. Yeah, it's going to be, like, a

00:03:34.539 --> 00:03:37.180
game changer. Yeah. As far as I'm concerned.

00:03:37.460 --> 00:03:39.240
Yeah, do you think this is what will get Melissa

00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:41.599
to take you back? Big time. Big time. This is

00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:43.580
it. I've moved to the big leagues now. Yeah.

00:03:44.139 --> 00:03:47.460
A basement in your friend's house? Well, here,

00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:50.860
hold on. What are you laughing about? I'm serious.

00:03:50.979 --> 00:03:53.319
I'm dead serious here. No, I know. I'm just...

00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:54.960
This is important to me. No, I'm sorry. I was

00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:57.340
being facetious. I didn't mean to be. All right.

00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:00.400
Sorry. What do you think, though, lads? Melissa,

00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:02.439
what do you think she's going to say? She's going

00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:04.800
to be like, oh, you're the man for me? You're

00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:07.759
the man for me again? Again, yeah. Let's have

00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:11.699
another child? Yeah, exactly. Well, I mean...

00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:15.180
If she wants. I'm very much wanting to support

00:04:15.180 --> 00:04:17.300
her. I know, because I was playing her in that

00:04:17.300 --> 00:04:19.480
situation and that was her decision in that situation.

00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:22.259
Okay, well, if it's what she wants, because this

00:04:22.259 --> 00:04:23.680
time around I'm going to do everything right.

00:04:23.939 --> 00:04:26.040
Yeah, this time. I'm going to support her. That's

00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:29.480
a, what a mission statement for a marriage. Yeah.

00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:34.420
So I'm thinking this here man cave. Oh, it's

00:04:34.420 --> 00:04:39.220
a good name. Here. My man cave would be like,

00:04:39.339 --> 00:04:44.100
Melissa, look. When you get annoyed at me, I've

00:04:44.100 --> 00:04:46.279
got somewhere to go. I'll just go to Stevie's

00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:49.459
house, and I'll go to his basement. Exactly.

00:04:49.899 --> 00:04:52.199
You're always welcome here. Glad to have the

00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:53.939
company, to be honest. I've been a bit lonely.

00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:57.019
You're a good friend, Stevie. Well, you guys

00:04:57.019 --> 00:05:00.360
are my best friends. We are best friends. Sorry,

00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:02.699
I didn't want to speak for you, Jake. Of course

00:05:02.699 --> 00:05:05.560
we are, but let's not get emotional, lads. Not

00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:08.180
in a man cave. No tears in here! That's why it's

00:05:08.180 --> 00:05:10.360
so dark. Can't see you cry. I think we've seen

00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:14.199
enough crying. Yeah, I'm sorry about that, lads.

00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:16.879
It's alright. You let your emotions out. Just

00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:19.920
not near us. Do it in a healthy way. Away from

00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:24.100
friends. Stevie, do you and the boys need anything?

00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:27.500
He's getting on okay down there. Uh, no, I think

00:05:27.500 --> 00:05:29.500
we're alright. Do we need anything else? Do you

00:05:29.500 --> 00:05:31.759
have any of those, like, Volovon things that

00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:35.480
you had last week? Uh, no, that was just... Sorry,

00:05:35.939 --> 00:05:38.000
that was just left over from New Year's, and

00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:39.680
they were in the freezer, so you finished those

00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:42.480
off, but I appreciate that you like them. They're

00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:45.060
from Iceland. They were fantastic. They were

00:05:45.060 --> 00:05:47.519
good, Melissa. They were. Thank you. Oh my god,

00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:49.680
I just called your wife, Melissa. Marion, sorry.

00:05:50.459 --> 00:05:52.139
It's alright, I knew what you meant, don't worry.

00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:55.459
Your wife's so good, she didn't even call Jake

00:05:55.459 --> 00:05:58.550
out on that. Oh, you're a lucky man. Well, you

00:05:58.550 --> 00:06:00.410
know what? Not many wives would let their best

00:06:00.410 --> 00:06:01.870
friend stay in a basement and paint it black,

00:06:01.970 --> 00:06:04.970
but God bless her. Build a full surrounding system

00:06:04.970 --> 00:06:07.009
and all. Yeah, no, she's always a bit lonely

00:06:07.009 --> 00:06:09.069
lately, so you know. So you build a man cave

00:06:09.069 --> 00:06:11.649
to stay away from her? Hold on a minute. You

00:06:11.649 --> 00:06:15.170
say you're lonely and she's lonely? Yeah. But

00:06:15.170 --> 00:06:18.230
you live in the same house together? Yeah. Don't

00:06:18.230 --> 00:06:20.290
understand. You can be lonely around other people.

00:06:20.930 --> 00:06:23.279
Well... Is that because you have such a big family

00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:25.100
and all those kids that, like, it feels like

00:06:25.100 --> 00:06:27.180
you're alone all the time even though everyone's

00:06:27.180 --> 00:06:28.600
around you because they're all doing different

00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:30.759
things? Oh, yeah, yeah. Sometimes it just feels

00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:32.680
like there's, like, another self inhabiting my

00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:34.339
body and I'm just sort of watching it from the

00:06:34.339 --> 00:06:38.100
outside. Whoa. Yeah. But I think if we play a

00:06:38.100 --> 00:06:44.279
bit of FIFA, I'd feel better. Now, that's what

00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:47.420
we're talking about. Yeah. Stevie lad. Football

00:06:47.420 --> 00:06:58.139
stops emotions. Deborah didn't think I could

00:06:58.139 --> 00:07:03.500
find the perfect car. But here we are. Well,

00:07:03.540 --> 00:07:07.300
I'm glad we finally got something. We've been

00:07:07.300 --> 00:07:09.639
traipsed around these dealerships for months,

00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:12.600
it feels like now. Because it has been months.

00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:15.740
It has been months, but you have to have the

00:07:15.740 --> 00:07:20.879
perfect car. And I think this is for me. Okay.

00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:26.600
It's... Beautiful. I never thought I'd get a

00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:31.699
sky blue car. Yeah, but you said that when you

00:07:31.699 --> 00:07:35.629
got your cherry red car. Aww. That was a mood.

00:07:36.329 --> 00:07:38.550
Yeah, and you thought it was your forever card.

00:07:38.689 --> 00:07:41.769
It wasn't your forever card. It was too saucy

00:07:41.769 --> 00:07:45.970
for me. I'm just not a saucy lady. I think you're

00:07:45.970 --> 00:07:50.930
a saucy lady. Oh, Deborah, you're a saucy lady.

00:07:50.930 --> 00:07:54.699
I don't want to be a saucy lady. I just... I

00:07:54.699 --> 00:07:57.339
just want to help my friend find her perfect

00:07:57.339 --> 00:08:02.019
car that will be her lifetime car forever until

00:08:02.019 --> 00:08:04.500
either the death of the car or the death of her,

00:08:04.660 --> 00:08:10.100
God forbid. Those are two very, very bleak situations,

00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:13.819
Deborah. I never thought that you would wish

00:08:13.819 --> 00:08:17.800
me dead. No, no, Louise, I mean it in the, you

00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:21.620
know, the marriage sense. Till death do you and

00:08:21.620 --> 00:08:26.860
this... Sky blue car part. I'm not marrying the

00:08:26.860 --> 00:08:30.199
car. No, but you... I'm going to drive it. I've

00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:33.000
got places to go to and the groceries. Oh my

00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:36.700
God, the groceries that come in ever since we

00:08:36.700 --> 00:08:40.080
got that fourth cat. Yes, but you've been more

00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:44.899
determined and now rejoicing more about this

00:08:44.899 --> 00:08:47.720
car, the prospect of the car and now the discovery

00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:50.860
of the car. than you ever have been about any

00:08:50.860 --> 00:08:53.960
one of your partners. Well, Alan was a shit,

00:08:53.980 --> 00:08:57.500
really, wasn't he? And Derek, well, the name

00:08:57.500 --> 00:09:00.960
itself is quite boring. It was a tip -off, wasn't

00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:03.620
it, Deborah? Well, yes, and at the time, I think

00:09:03.620 --> 00:09:05.519
you thought that they were the respective ones,

00:09:05.620 --> 00:09:09.360
as was the cherry red car. Oh, she... I just

00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:11.120
don't want you to break your own heart again.

00:09:11.580 --> 00:09:14.899
Well, I could not keep up with the personality

00:09:14.899 --> 00:09:19.019
of that cherry red car. I know it was too saucy,

00:09:19.019 --> 00:09:20.759
but you were saucy enough for it and you dyed

00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:24.379
it yourself. Oh, I wish I could be that saucy.

00:09:25.399 --> 00:09:30.580
On second thoughts, maybe sky blue isn't my colour

00:09:30.580 --> 00:09:34.600
this... No, I think if you want it, if your heart's

00:09:34.600 --> 00:09:37.720
telling you that this is it now, now it might

00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:40.059
not be it forever, I just don't want you to,

00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:43.320
you know, be pulling me round car dealerships

00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:46.710
in another two to three years. I'm not a one

00:09:46.710 --> 00:09:50.009
night stand or two or three year stand kind of

00:09:50.009 --> 00:09:55.070
lady. I want, I want something to last like,

00:09:55.250 --> 00:09:58.450
you know, a bag for life. I know, but you had

00:09:58.450 --> 00:10:02.429
the sunken cost fallacy about Derek. You were

00:10:02.429 --> 00:10:05.309
with him for eight years too long, I'd say. Well,

00:10:05.529 --> 00:10:10.190
it felt longer to be fair to you, but yes, I

00:10:10.190 --> 00:10:13.139
was. I was, but if you're just going to go over

00:10:13.139 --> 00:10:15.799
my failures, I might as well go... No, I'm not

00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:18.659
trying to do that. And I'm sorry. You got excited

00:10:18.659 --> 00:10:21.259
about the car. I'm just a little tired. We've

00:10:21.259 --> 00:10:23.759
been around a lot of dealerships many times.

00:10:23.860 --> 00:10:27.059
And I think we walked past this car maybe six

00:10:27.059 --> 00:10:31.320
visits ago. Do you need a matcha latte? No, I

00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:33.639
think I've had too much matcha today, actually.

00:10:34.340 --> 00:10:37.240
Six is a lot, but I would have thought with the

00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:40.039
toilet stops, we'd be grand. Yeah, I just...

00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:43.200
I've switched from caffeine to more of a matcha

00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:47.320
thing and... I don't know. Maybe it's just my

00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:50.000
own chemistry is just a little off today, you

00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:54.080
know? Oh, Deborah, what's wrong? The matcha lattes,

00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:57.320
Louise. Is it nothing deeper than the matcha

00:10:57.320 --> 00:11:00.659
lattes? I see the way that you look. No, I think

00:11:00.659 --> 00:11:03.100
it is just that and the fatigue and seeing you

00:11:03.100 --> 00:11:07.419
get so made up about a new car that... I just

00:11:07.419 --> 00:11:12.159
want you to be happy, Louise. I am happy, and

00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:15.139
if you haven't noticed, I'm happiest whenever

00:11:15.139 --> 00:11:19.980
we're looking for cars together. I... Do you

00:11:19.980 --> 00:11:25.240
know, I really love being around you. Thank you.

00:11:25.259 --> 00:11:28.519
Especially. Thank you. And with your knowledge

00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:32.360
of motorcar colours, it just brings something

00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:38.179
special to my life. It brings joy. And, you know,

00:11:38.259 --> 00:11:41.059
it brings the hope that I can be as saucy as

00:11:41.059 --> 00:11:44.779
a cherry red car. But you already were, and then

00:11:44.779 --> 00:11:49.279
you dated Derek, and it desauced you. He was

00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:53.639
as dry as a Friday night kebab on Sunday. Can

00:11:53.639 --> 00:11:57.659
I just say, I've been a car dealer for 27 years,

00:11:57.799 --> 00:12:00.460
and when I saw you two come in here, I thought,

00:12:00.500 --> 00:12:03.899
oh God. It's those two women who just go over

00:12:03.899 --> 00:12:05.980
their relationship and they never buy any cars.

00:12:06.740 --> 00:12:10.980
But hearing what you just said now, Louise, Deborah,

00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:14.600
I just thought it was so beautiful. Thank you.

00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:18.519
How long... I'm sure friendship is hard. Sometimes

00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:23.259
I know me and my friend Gary. Hello. He's...

00:12:23.259 --> 00:12:27.080
Gary insists on coming to work with me. He hasn't

00:12:27.080 --> 00:12:30.100
had a job in five years. Don't need it? He does

00:12:30.100 --> 00:12:32.929
need it. But I say, what would a good friend

00:12:32.929 --> 00:12:37.470
do? So I let Gary fill up the staplers. We waste

00:12:37.470 --> 00:12:40.029
a lot of staples because he loves filling them

00:12:40.029 --> 00:12:44.029
up. But I do it because he's my friend. And thanks

00:12:44.029 --> 00:12:47.809
for that. No problem, Gary. And for what it's

00:12:47.809 --> 00:12:50.990
worth, sometimes a Friday night takeaway on a

00:12:50.990 --> 00:12:55.330
Sunday tickles me in the tummy. I'll let you

00:12:55.330 --> 00:12:58.570
get back to your conversation. Gary? Yeah? Would

00:12:58.570 --> 00:13:01.039
you like to go get a matcha latte? I'm going

00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:05.259
to keep you stropping. Oh, okay. Watch him, though.

00:13:05.620 --> 00:13:08.679
Would you watch him for me? I mean, can he do

00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:13.539
a deal on the car for us? Oh, no, Gary. Gary,

00:13:13.539 --> 00:13:16.480
what will you do the sky blue citron for? Gary,

00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:18.779
you're not allowed to do the cars. You do them

00:13:18.779 --> 00:13:21.080
too cheap, and it's getting me in trouble. It

00:13:21.080 --> 00:13:24.000
says six grand, but I think me and Louise are

00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:27.210
thinking a bit more like... Three. Five hundred

00:13:27.210 --> 00:13:30.250
pounds. Oh, that's better. Jesus fucking Christ.

00:13:31.629 --> 00:13:33.350
If it's cash in hand, I can tell you where we

00:13:33.350 --> 00:13:43.710
keep the keys. I think maybe you actually go

00:13:43.710 --> 00:13:46.169
a wee bit too deep sometimes. Do you know what

00:13:46.169 --> 00:13:48.230
I mean? You see, this is the thing. I'm not deep,

00:13:48.330 --> 00:13:50.610
but the person... That's inhabiting my body.

00:13:50.690 --> 00:13:53.330
They're deep and it's tough to watch. You've

00:13:53.330 --> 00:13:55.450
got a little emotional person who takes over

00:13:55.450 --> 00:13:57.529
your body anytime you're sad. It feels like the

00:13:57.529 --> 00:13:59.250
emotional person is the big person. I'm just

00:13:59.250 --> 00:14:01.889
the small one. Well, that is an interesting philosophical

00:14:01.889 --> 00:14:05.350
debate as to what masculinity is then. Are you

00:14:05.350 --> 00:14:07.309
bigger or smaller just because you let emotions

00:14:07.309 --> 00:14:10.929
out? Stevie, we don't have any volvons. Tell

00:14:10.929 --> 00:14:14.840
the boys that I have profiteroles. And I have

00:14:14.840 --> 00:14:17.059
vegetable spring rolls, but they are vegetable.

00:14:17.299 --> 00:14:19.539
That's tight, Marianne. That's great. That's

00:14:19.539 --> 00:14:22.159
better for you. It has a reflux. Do a bit of

00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:24.559
sliced ham or something just to balance out.

00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:26.779
Bit of sliced ham. Bit of color in this room,

00:14:26.820 --> 00:14:28.779
you know. Not that it's not good within the black.

00:14:28.860 --> 00:14:30.980
I'm not making a baked ham for you boys. Oh,

00:14:30.980 --> 00:14:34.279
come on. I'm not making a honey glazed ham. Marion.

00:14:34.559 --> 00:14:39.220
Marion. Marion. I'm going to make one for you.

00:14:39.220 --> 00:14:41.139
Oh, you're a legend yourself. Marion, you're

00:14:41.139 --> 00:14:43.720
so good to us. Sound your wife's sound. She is.

00:14:43.779 --> 00:14:45.740
I mean, she painted us a whole room. You know

00:14:45.740 --> 00:14:48.519
what? Like, you should pay more attention to

00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:50.820
her because... You might lose her and end up

00:14:50.820 --> 00:14:53.980
like me. And me. Alone. As I said, you can be

00:14:53.980 --> 00:14:56.379
alone with others. That's true, you're already

00:14:56.379 --> 00:14:57.220
- You don't need to lose your wife to be alone.

00:14:57.399 --> 00:14:59.690
Do you already feel alone with your wife? Sometimes.

00:15:00.070 --> 00:15:02.169
That's tough. Even when she's making you a sweet

00:15:02.169 --> 00:15:04.769
glazed ham. Sometimes it just feels like we're

00:15:04.769 --> 00:15:06.789
going through the motions. Maybe it's because

00:15:06.789 --> 00:15:10.870
there's too many people inside of you and, you

00:15:10.870 --> 00:15:12.909
know, like, she doesn't know how to connect because

00:15:12.909 --> 00:15:15.470
there's a little you and a big you and she gets

00:15:15.470 --> 00:15:18.429
confused. So many yous vying for you. Yeah, no,

00:15:18.490 --> 00:15:20.710
I get that. Too many yous. So she has to fit

00:15:20.710 --> 00:15:23.090
in somewhere with vying for the control of all

00:15:23.090 --> 00:15:25.309
the yous. You can't have more than one. Too many.

00:15:25.429 --> 00:15:27.509
There's too many, Steve. I hear what you're saying.

00:15:27.629 --> 00:15:30.440
Do you know what I'm saying? let the big me that

00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:33.120
runs the household and looks after the kids run

00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:36.120
free and the small me should disappear. Yeah,

00:15:36.179 --> 00:15:38.639
I think you need to kill small you. I think so

00:15:38.639 --> 00:15:41.960
too. Kill small Steve. Brian. Not like your kid

00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:44.360
Steve. Kill small you Steve. No, Stevie Junior.

00:15:44.500 --> 00:15:47.360
Stevie Junior's a kick -ass cool kid. Yeah, got

00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:50.259
a scholarship. Did he? Yeah. For what? Football.

00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:53.559
Wow. Yeah, congrats to him. That's class. Fair

00:15:53.559 --> 00:15:55.840
play to the lad. Doesn't get it from me. I hope

00:15:55.840 --> 00:15:57.779
he doesn't break his leg and have a career -ending

00:15:57.779 --> 00:15:59.419
injury before his career even begins. I hope

00:15:59.419 --> 00:16:02.460
he doesn't eat some bad chicken and end up with

00:16:02.460 --> 00:16:05.679
septicemia and dysentery. Do you know what I

00:16:05.679 --> 00:16:07.659
mean? That would be a disaster. That would be

00:16:07.659 --> 00:16:09.899
awful. That would be bad. I hope he doesn't have

00:16:09.899 --> 00:16:13.259
a heart attack on the pitch and there's no thing

00:16:13.259 --> 00:16:16.399
to jolt start your house. I hope he doesn't die.

00:16:16.559 --> 00:16:18.500
You see... Big Stevie doesn't think about that.

00:16:18.539 --> 00:16:20.679
Small Stevie stays awake at night about that.

00:16:20.720 --> 00:16:23.240
That's it. Gotta go to small Stevie. You know

00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:25.779
what? All the lads, we could just go out sometime.

00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:28.940
Out, out, lads, let's go. Kill small Stevie and

00:16:28.940 --> 00:16:31.779
then have a night on the town. On the town. Brian

00:16:31.779 --> 00:16:33.720
needs a night out, don't you, Brian? Brian does.

00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:37.059
I do need a night out, yeah. I've been so alone

00:16:37.059 --> 00:16:39.600
that I start to make myself feel more surrounded

00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:41.779
by people. I've started using my name in third

00:16:41.779 --> 00:16:43.419
person to be like, oh, how you feeling, Brian?

00:16:43.940 --> 00:16:46.669
Thanks for asking, Brian, you know? I do know.

00:16:46.690 --> 00:16:49.929
Sorry, no emotions. Jake knows. Stevie, I put

00:16:49.929 --> 00:16:51.809
that ham on. I'm just going to leave it on for

00:16:51.809 --> 00:16:53.750
a wee bit, but I'm on my way over to Melissa's

00:16:53.750 --> 00:16:55.769
here. Sorry. What? I'm on my way over to Melissa's

00:16:55.769 --> 00:16:58.549
here. Of course. So, just keep an eye on it.

00:16:58.590 --> 00:17:00.870
Should we come, Maria? Yeah, Maria. We'll come.

00:17:01.250 --> 00:17:03.710
No, no, no. It's okay. Sorry, I shouldn't have

00:17:03.710 --> 00:17:06.210
said that. Maria, Maria, Maria. Just give her

00:17:06.210 --> 00:17:08.990
a message. I've been invaded by men. Anyway,

00:17:09.130 --> 00:17:11.549
I'm way on here. Tell her we're on a lad's night

00:17:11.549 --> 00:17:13.890
out. How about that? Well, no, wait. Tell her.

00:17:13.950 --> 00:17:17.490
Just say, I'm gonna listen better next time.

00:17:17.529 --> 00:17:19.769
Aye. Tell her that. I think she's gone already.

00:17:20.009 --> 00:17:22.430
Oh, gosh. Also, I can't go on a night out tonight.

00:17:22.509 --> 00:17:24.049
I'm looking after the kids now. But they're fine.

00:17:24.470 --> 00:17:26.930
No. Really? You think if you leave them alone,

00:17:27.049 --> 00:17:29.529
Stevie's gonna die and... Stevie will be fine,

00:17:29.589 --> 00:17:30.970
but, you know, he's at football practice, so

00:17:30.970 --> 00:17:33.009
he can't look after the wee ones. Who's picking

00:17:33.009 --> 00:17:35.470
him up? Oh, he drives now. Yeah, yeah. He's all

00:17:35.470 --> 00:17:37.970
grown up now. It's just that Erica's struggling

00:17:37.970 --> 00:17:40.890
with schoolwork, you know. Oh. Yeah. Why don't

00:17:40.890 --> 00:17:43.049
we bring little Erica down here and teach him

00:17:43.049 --> 00:17:45.769
the ways of life? Erica. Oh, why don't we bring

00:17:45.769 --> 00:17:47.750
little Erica down here and teach her the ways

00:17:47.750 --> 00:17:50.029
of life? That sounds... A bit dark for reading

00:17:50.029 --> 00:17:51.690
here. Well, she doesn't need to read. She needs

00:17:51.690 --> 00:17:54.109
to learn. You know, very different things. We

00:17:54.109 --> 00:17:56.289
can teach her all about how it's important to

00:17:56.289 --> 00:17:58.609
kill off the weaker parts of yourself so then

00:17:58.609 --> 00:18:00.569
you can't let anyone in to break your heart.

00:18:01.049 --> 00:18:03.410
What part of yourself do you need to kill off,

00:18:03.490 --> 00:18:07.430
Brian? The one who goes too much into hard mushrooms.

00:18:08.170 --> 00:18:11.420
What? The one who does too many shrooms, that's

00:18:11.420 --> 00:18:13.440
the one I'm going to kill off. I don't like that

00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:15.680
one either. Yeah, he gets too philosophical.

00:18:15.819 --> 00:18:19.019
The philosophy is fine, it's just you get really

00:18:19.019 --> 00:18:21.440
vicious about getting your car keys back. Oh

00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:24.119
my gosh, yeah. If I know where they are, then

00:18:24.119 --> 00:18:26.319
I won't have to worry about them. You get really

00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:30.319
obsessed with your car keys. They're just keys.

00:18:30.420 --> 00:18:33.779
You get aggressive, and I mean, I'm not blaming

00:18:33.779 --> 00:18:36.819
you for my football career ending injury, but...

00:18:36.819 --> 00:18:40.980
Well... He put his car keys through your kneecap

00:18:40.980 --> 00:18:43.920
like that was... I keyed you. I keyed you. I

00:18:43.920 --> 00:18:46.019
keyed you. It's a classic move. Classic Brian

00:18:46.019 --> 00:18:47.779
move. I do think I should have just given you

00:18:47.779 --> 00:18:49.700
the car keys that day. Yeah, that's what I said

00:18:49.700 --> 00:18:51.200
to everyone. You were to know he had already

00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:54.000
mainlined a lot of shrooms. Oh, I knew. So many

00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:55.920
shrooms. Yeah. That's why I had the car keys.

00:18:56.240 --> 00:18:59.000
Now, anytime anyone has my keys, they just give

00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:01.059
me them right away because they're like, I don't

00:19:01.059 --> 00:19:03.220
want to have a career -ended injury. Like, what

00:19:03.220 --> 00:19:05.720
are you, a chef? I will key your hands and you'll

00:19:05.720 --> 00:19:08.200
never be able to perform chefery again. You're

00:19:08.200 --> 00:19:11.339
the key man. I'm the key man. Brian the key man.

00:19:12.119 --> 00:19:14.220
Deadly with keys. Ah, because I don't even want

00:19:14.220 --> 00:19:16.039
to drive. I just need them for the shrooms. You

00:19:16.039 --> 00:19:18.460
didn't even... Oh, what? I need them to snort

00:19:18.460 --> 00:19:20.019
the shrooms off. I thought you were going to

00:19:20.019 --> 00:19:24.039
drive. No, no. Can you drive? No. That's my house

00:19:24.039 --> 00:19:28.160
keys. There's no crying here, right? No, no crying.

00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:37.640
I'm going to be back in a week. Thirsty. Can

00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:41.119
you check on the glazed ham? Yeah. Oh, God, yeah.

00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:44.000
I'll definitely take some of that ham. Oh, it'd

00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:54.880
be great. Listen, proprietor, I need a match

00:19:54.880 --> 00:19:57.140
a latte, quick. I've just run across the road

00:19:57.140 --> 00:19:58.579
for this because I'm really thirsty, but I think

00:19:58.579 --> 00:20:00.839
my friend and associate, Gary, is about to sell

00:20:00.839 --> 00:20:04.279
a car for 500... Oh, Jesus. Oh, for him. What?

00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:08.319
Good for him. He needed a job. How do you know

00:20:08.319 --> 00:20:11.140
about Gary and his unemployment? I watch from

00:20:11.140 --> 00:20:13.559
across the road every day. I thought I was the

00:20:13.559 --> 00:20:15.140
one watching, but you were watching the watcher.

00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:17.900
I was watching the watcher. It's just nice to

00:20:17.900 --> 00:20:20.279
see. Can I have my coffee? Sorry. Yeah, sorry.

00:20:20.420 --> 00:20:24.180
Sir, could I get a matcha latte and can I get

00:20:24.180 --> 00:20:27.839
£500 cash back on that, please? No, I was first.

00:20:27.900 --> 00:20:30.319
I need a matcha now. I have a matcha here ready

00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:34.710
to go. That's me. My matcha. Wait, you forgot

00:20:34.710 --> 00:20:38.470
your cash bag. Oh, I'll take the cash bag. Thank

00:20:38.470 --> 00:20:40.809
you so much. Okay, here you go. Thank you. Okay,

00:20:41.009 --> 00:20:44.849
quick, back to the leadership. It appears we're

00:20:44.849 --> 00:20:47.630
at an impasse. Oh, I see. You already gave him

00:20:47.630 --> 00:20:50.269
the cash. Here's the keys. Thank you so much.

00:20:50.710 --> 00:20:54.470
What the fuck, Gary? I've only ever shown you

00:20:54.470 --> 00:20:57.170
friendship and patience. And I appreciate it.

00:20:57.710 --> 00:21:00.450
And I got you a sale. Do you ever wonder? I'm

00:21:00.450 --> 00:21:02.450
not even asking for permission. Do you ever wonder

00:21:02.450 --> 00:21:07.490
if you're a good friend to me? Deborah, you are

00:21:07.490 --> 00:21:09.970
the best friend I could ever have and you know

00:21:09.970 --> 00:21:12.789
why I love you. Because you're a cheap bitch

00:21:12.789 --> 00:21:17.009
and I love that about you. Louise, I appreciate

00:21:17.009 --> 00:21:19.230
all that you've said to me today and I really

00:21:19.230 --> 00:21:23.089
hope this car is the one for you. But I think

00:21:23.089 --> 00:21:25.109
I'm going to go back to Gary and give him a tip.

00:21:25.869 --> 00:21:28.470
He was a good man and he did a good deal for

00:21:28.470 --> 00:21:31.049
us. He did a brilliant deal for us, but we're

00:21:31.049 --> 00:21:33.970
going out Friday. I'll give him a tip monetarily.

00:21:34.349 --> 00:21:36.750
We're going out for dinner and I'll give him

00:21:36.750 --> 00:21:39.269
a tip monetarily then, but you can come if you

00:21:39.269 --> 00:21:43.509
want. Oh. I kind of assumed I was going to be

00:21:43.509 --> 00:21:48.910
there. Can I come? No. Well, hold on. Can you

00:21:48.910 --> 00:21:52.309
cover me? I don't want to seem cheap. I've no

00:21:52.309 --> 00:21:57.480
money, Gary. You sold my last car for £500. I'm

00:21:57.480 --> 00:21:59.299
going to have to shut it down. That means you

00:21:59.299 --> 00:22:03.099
have £500. I'm going to use this to buy a first

00:22:03.099 --> 00:22:06.019
class ticket out of here and away from you because

00:22:06.019 --> 00:22:08.420
you've been a horrible friend. What? You've been

00:22:08.420 --> 00:22:10.500
a horrible friend. I didn't think I was. You

00:22:10.500 --> 00:22:12.319
fucking are. This is the first time I'm hearing

00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:13.799
about this. This is the first time you've heard?

00:22:13.799 --> 00:22:15.480
Yeah, you've never said a word. Well, it's because

00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:18.779
I've been so patient. I appreciate that. Oh,

00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:20.759
that's great. You appreciate it. Appreciate this.

00:22:24.910 --> 00:22:35.349
You're walking away. So, um, what part of me

00:22:35.349 --> 00:22:39.309
should I kill off? Because I'm a bit torn. Is

00:22:39.309 --> 00:22:41.130
there a few options or should I just start picking

00:22:41.130 --> 00:22:44.150
at it? There are, I mean, should I kill off,

00:22:44.230 --> 00:22:48.049
you know, the guy who just, like, walks around

00:22:48.049 --> 00:22:52.150
with his shoulders, like, looking cool? No, that's

00:22:52.150 --> 00:22:54.460
a pretty good one. Okay. Keep him. Yeah, it's

00:22:54.460 --> 00:22:57.680
good. I have two suggestions. Okay. I don't think

00:22:57.680 --> 00:23:00.740
you should kill off the one who needs Melissa,

00:23:01.019 --> 00:23:03.380
but I think you should kill off the one who craves

00:23:03.380 --> 00:23:06.259
Melissa. Whoa. Or the other way around. You can

00:23:06.259 --> 00:23:09.099
do whichever. I crave her so much. Right, so

00:23:09.099 --> 00:23:11.079
then kill off the need for her, and then it just

00:23:11.079 --> 00:23:14.640
becomes a whole lust thing. I need her as well.

00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:19.039
Oh, God, this is tough. Crave or need? When I

00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:22.059
think of Melissa, like, in a craving sense. Aye.

00:23:22.380 --> 00:23:24.859
I just want to sing to her, you know? Oh, you

00:23:24.859 --> 00:23:27.039
want to go back into high school? Yeah, like

00:23:27.039 --> 00:23:31.480
I want to do, like, Melissa, I love you. Oh,

00:23:31.480 --> 00:23:33.720
you should grin to her. It's embarrassing. No,

00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:36.480
no, it's beautiful. You know, if there's someone

00:23:36.480 --> 00:23:38.500
out there that you can grin to, you should grin

00:23:38.500 --> 00:23:41.579
to them. I know, but maybe it's not practical.

00:23:42.259 --> 00:23:47.259
Maybe I need a neater. Like, Melissa, you couldn't

00:23:47.259 --> 00:23:50.960
do me a favour and take these T -shirts and give

00:23:50.960 --> 00:23:54.829
them a wee iron? Oh, God. I am a conflicted man.

00:23:55.009 --> 00:23:58.490
It's tough. There's no doubt. No. But you know

00:23:58.490 --> 00:24:01.569
what? Instead of a lad's night out, instead of

00:24:01.569 --> 00:24:05.089
a lad's, lad's, lad's, how about we go and disrupt

00:24:05.089 --> 00:24:08.569
the woman's night and you sing to her or just

00:24:08.569 --> 00:24:10.710
ask her to iron your shirt, whichever you feel

00:24:10.710 --> 00:24:12.910
in the moment's right. I just don't know. Whatever

00:24:12.910 --> 00:24:15.250
love speaks through you. She's such a good woman.

00:24:15.490 --> 00:24:19.650
Great woman. Am I enough for her? Parts of you

00:24:19.650 --> 00:24:25.009
are. Oh, to be one whole man. Oh, it's an impossible

00:24:25.009 --> 00:24:29.730
feat. Too hard. Women have it easy. Aye, they're

00:24:29.730 --> 00:24:32.849
one man right off the bat. Men have it so hard.

00:24:33.250 --> 00:24:36.269
So many complexities within the man. The man

00:24:36.269 --> 00:24:39.589
is complex. Do you ever see that picture of Da

00:24:39.589 --> 00:24:42.789
Vinci? Where he's like five -limbed? A lot of

00:24:42.789 --> 00:24:44.950
Da Vinci's in there. A pile of Da Vinci's, aye.

00:24:45.329 --> 00:24:48.069
He's too many. Too many Da Vinci's, that's what

00:24:48.069 --> 00:24:50.329
I feel like. Like I'm upside down, but I'm still

00:24:50.329 --> 00:24:53.250
the right way up. This is it, like I'm spinning.

00:24:53.470 --> 00:24:55.289
Yeah, you're lost in a little box. It's like

00:24:55.289 --> 00:24:57.390
you're tied in a circus and someone's throwing

00:24:57.390 --> 00:24:59.710
knives at you. Da Vinci, Da Vinci, Da Vinci,

00:24:59.710 --> 00:25:03.089
which one do you want? It's intense to be a man.

00:25:03.190 --> 00:25:06.829
It's so hard sometimes. It's like, uh, do you

00:25:06.829 --> 00:25:10.940
ever see those magic eye pictures? Aye. So that's

00:25:10.940 --> 00:25:13.220
what it's like to be a man. Like a magic eye.

00:25:13.400 --> 00:25:15.759
You're looking at one thing. But it's never there.

00:25:16.000 --> 00:25:19.579
It's never there. Elusive. The elusive man that

00:25:19.579 --> 00:25:21.700
I am. The elusive man. That's what Melissa wants,

00:25:21.900 --> 00:25:23.880
but she can't get you. She can't reach. She can't

00:25:23.880 --> 00:25:27.640
reach you. She can look and stare for a long

00:25:27.640 --> 00:25:31.839
time and adjust her focus and still move. She's

00:25:31.839 --> 00:25:34.700
almost there. Almost. Maybe she thinks she needs

00:25:34.700 --> 00:25:37.440
glasses to perceive you fully, but... And other

00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:40.089
people are like... But I can see him. I can see

00:25:40.089 --> 00:25:41.809
him. Just look from the side. She's like, no.

00:25:41.990 --> 00:25:43.890
No. No, I need to perceive him in the right,

00:25:43.910 --> 00:25:46.849
correct way. And there I am spinning around like

00:25:46.849 --> 00:25:49.970
an Italian madman. Da Vinci. Da Vinci, look at

00:25:49.970 --> 00:25:52.009
me. I have a flying machine. But at what cost?

00:25:52.009 --> 00:25:55.410
I'm soaring so high. But I'm never getting my

00:25:55.410 --> 00:26:00.289
feet on the ground. Brian. Hey, guys. All right,

00:26:00.289 --> 00:26:02.369
Stephen. We were just talking about FIFA there.

00:26:02.369 --> 00:26:04.470
FIFA there. I'm going to play as Liverpool. I

00:26:04.470 --> 00:26:06.230
thought Erica was looking to have her PlayStation

00:26:06.230 --> 00:26:10.630
back. But she has to learn. She did her homework.

00:26:10.769 --> 00:26:12.789
She gets to play Astro Bot. All right. Is she

00:26:12.789 --> 00:26:15.190
coming down here or is she taking it? Well, I...

00:26:15.190 --> 00:26:17.569
Can she come down and bring the hand down? I'd

00:26:17.569 --> 00:26:19.450
rather she didn't come down here. What about

00:26:19.450 --> 00:26:23.750
those vegetable things? Were they rolls? Samosas?

00:26:25.410 --> 00:26:27.250
Something's being made that's green. Give me

00:26:27.250 --> 00:26:30.750
it. I've had a tough day and I don't appreciate

00:26:30.750 --> 00:26:32.250
you shouting at me. You know what? I'm sorry.

00:26:32.390 --> 00:26:35.029
I'm sorry. You're right, Stevie. No, no, no.

00:26:35.130 --> 00:26:38.680
Have you killed your... little self yet. Because

00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:49.000
you don't have to do it. Michael, you know the

00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:50.900
way we sit and watch all those friends across

00:26:50.900 --> 00:26:55.319
the road? Do you think we'll ever be friends

00:26:55.319 --> 00:27:00.740
like that? What did you say? Does it matter,

00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:04.059
Michael? I'll eat £500 worth of matcha latte.

00:27:04.890 --> 00:27:07.150
I need you to throw it at those three individuals

00:27:07.150 --> 00:27:10.529
in my car dealership. I'm on it. Michael, you

00:27:10.529 --> 00:27:14.130
stay reading your phone. Hmm? It doesn't matter.

00:27:14.650 --> 00:27:17.910
Alright. Hey. That's my friend Michael. Doesn't

00:27:17.910 --> 00:27:20.390
seem like a friend. What? Doesn't seem like a

00:27:20.390 --> 00:27:22.309
friend and I wouldn't know. He's busy reading

00:27:22.309 --> 00:27:44.710
