pillow talk amount to my frustration. ♪♪

♪ Beautiful and murderous and dangerous,
a deadly combination. ♪♪

Am I under your sedation? ♪♪

(Giles)
An extraordinary investment opportunity.

Come 2012, anything with a VAT number
within five miles of this building

Will be printing money so fast,
it'll have to be entered as a Olympic Event.

(Giles) Well for 800 thousand pounds
you have a stake in the business.

But I was thinking about four luxury flats.

(Cottrell) What do you reckon Chris'?

All I need is 800 thousand pounds.

(Nick)
We've got a few more signatures off you please.

(Cottrell)
There you go.

(Nick)
Just there.

Thank you.
[keyboard keys tapping]

(Chloe) Yeah they'll deal with it.
(Christy) No, they ain't going to do anything like that.

(Nick) They'll hold it ransom.

Was that the door?

[footsteps on wooden stairs]

Slow down mate!

The Estate Agent sent me.
I'm the Gasman.

[fridge humming]
[clock ticking]

[boiler clicks open]

Can you open all the windows please?

I'm going to have to shut this down,

I'm afraid.

Why?

(Danny) It's leaking,
[clearing throat] uh-hurr

Carbon Monoxide

a bit too much.

Can I open this back door as well, yeah?

(Chloe)&(Nick)
Yeah.

Has anyone been,
sort of like, dizzy?

Fell over or anything?

No.

(Danny)
Are you sure?

Yeah.

Cause like the levels that I've got here.

It's very dangerous.

I'm afraid you're not going to
have any hot water for a while.

But they told us everything was alright.

Yeah, well, I'm afraid it's not.

(Nick)
I think you're having us on, mate.

Your hav...
I'm having you on?

(Nick)
I think you're taking the piss out of us.

How can I be having you on mate?

Look, I'm gas accredited, right?

(Danny)
I'm not here for me own benefit.

I'm here for yours.

You'll have to keep the windows open.

Your best bet really,

is to put a jumper on, or a coat.

Who are you?

(Danny)
Now, I'm the gas man,

I was sent round by the Estate Agents

I'm afraid, I had to turn
all the gas off in here.

(Christy) No, no, no, no, no.
(Danny) It's leaking Carbon Monoxide.

It's for your benefit, not mine.

Who sent you round here, for one?

(Danny)
The Estate Agents!

Well, they didn't ring us,

have they rung, spoke to you?

No one spoke to us about it.

I've got the key, I let myself in.

- You what?
(Danny) Well I rung on the bell, no one answered.

You taking the piss?

(Danny) No one answered the door.
- He just let himself, walked in.

- I'm allowed to do that.
(Christy) Who give you the keys?

I have complete authority to do that.

(Christy) You have got no authority,
to come in this house with a set of keys

Look, look, that gives me.
That gives me the authority to do that.

I've got more authority than the Police.

[laughing] Shhhock,
is he a fucking joker?

- He is, he...
- Seriously!

No. That boiler's not being turned off.

(Christy)
What's the danger?

It's carbon monoxide.

(Christy) Have you, have you experienced any...
- It's a colourless, Odourless Gas that can kill you.

We're all fine here.
So it's absolutely fine.

(Danny) Has no one been dizzy?
- Would you put it back on?

Where's your bag?
Where's your tool bag?

(Danny) Has no one been dizzy or anything?
- Take your toolbag and piss off mate.

(Nick) Turn that gas on.
- Well it's off, it's off.

(Christy) Well stick it back on now.
- I can't.

I'm not joking with ya, seriously,

I just... stick that back on now.

That's like I've got a loaded gun in my pocket
and I'm killing you with it...

What you fucking? Talking shit mate.

(Christy) I'm ringing the estate agent,
cause you're taking the bloody piss, mate.

You want me to turn it?

I'll turn it back on...

Turn it back on now, seriously.

I'm not taking the piss,
put it back on and fuck off! Yeah?

- I don't... There's no need for the profanity.
(Christy) No I'm sorry, I don't mean to be aggressive mate,

(Christy)
I don't mean to be aggressive yeah?

It's freezing cold in here.

You've come into the house,
with a set of keys, and it's taking the piss.

No, you've let yourself in,
turn it on and fuck off!

(Christy) Joker, en he? I'm not fucking laughing.
[boiler clicks open]

- I'll turn it on, but...
(Christy) Yeah turn it on, please, thank you.

Well it's on, it's on.

(Christy)
