CHANTING ON TELEVISION
Cheater! Cheater!
That woman is sleeping
with her husband,
her husband's father
and his father's brother!
Wow. Is that the father?
No, that's the husband.
There's the father.
Oh, dear. He looks very tired.
You'd think she'd wash her hair.
I mean, you know you're going
on telly, so you'd wash your hair,
wouldn't you?
Well, she's been quite busy.
Maybe she didn't have time.
Inca gives herself
an hour's preparation time
before she leaves the house.
You could take a leaf
out of her book, Gems.
You all right? Yeah, I just...
I miss her.
The cleanliness, the order,
the microbiotic food regime.
You'd never have guessed.
Could you go round and see her
for me?
Oh, no, I don't want to get
involved. You are involved, you're
the reason why I'm here.
No, Jason, you're the reason
why you're lying on the sofa
like a giant sausage roll.
Girls, get a wiggle on -
Brownie camp! Coming!
Billy!
Sup on my raw veg, will you?
Sorry?
My gazpacho. Oh. Have a taste.
Right.
I usually get Poppy's
sophisticated palate onto it,
but she's away at Brownie camp,
so... Mmm. I'll do my best.
It's a cold tomato-based soup,
originating from the southern
regions of Andalucia.
You know, I'm just not a soupy
kind of guy.
You know, anything liquidy
as a main meal
just kind of creeps
my tastebuds out.
But I'm sure Gemma will love it.
Well...
I haven't settled
on a final menu yet, so...
Oh, um...here.
Try one of these.
A little piece of heaven
in a ramekin.
You want me to take a souffle
on the bus?
Oh, yes.
Ah.
And text me your thoughts, eh?
LOL, smiley face.
HE CHUCKLES
Right, baggy, crispies and, um...
a little tart.
You should do salads, you know.
I have an irritable bowel.
Oh.
Well, I'll make sure I tell my boss.
Not about your bowel thing,
about the salad thing.
I bet you don't have
an irritable bowel.
Er...no.
Can I have a cheese
and pickle baguette,
chicken pine nut wrap, and some
crisps. Mmm, I like your style.
Certainly no bowel issues there.
CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY
No.
My bowels are fine, thanks.
There's a little something extra
in the cheese and pickle baguette.
You are very lucky
I was able to fitting you in.
People highly demand me.
Oh, thanks, Inca.
It's just I'm going to dinner
at Tom's tonight.
Tom is a snatch.
Catch.
Go behind screen
and slipping off clothes.
There are paper pants in there
for your safety.
Thanks.
So how are you, Inca?
Did Yason send you?
No.
I didn't tell him I was coming.
He misses you.
My heart is stone, Gemma.
Please onto the couch.
You want a wax while you're here?
Er, no, thanks.
Probably a mistake.
Oh, well, it's just friends
having dinner, no funny business.
BELL RINGS
Ooh!
You are burying your head
in the soot. Maybe.
What about you?
Aren't you burying your head
in the...
Ow!
Tension balls.
Inca, the thing is,
you and Jason are just so...
totally made for each other.
I thunk so too.
He was the deep fried fish
to my organic parsnip chips.
The high-cholesterol salt
to my filtered balsamic vinegar.
Basically, Gemma,
he was the ping to my pong.
Ohh!
But now I have thrust forward
with my life. Oh! Ooh!
Inca! Ooh! He has broken
the hoop of trust!
Oh, Inca! What?
Ooh...
You're hurting me.
Sorry, I forget you're frail.
Turn!
Ooh...
You see this?
Er, no.
This is the white platinum
engagement ring that I'm imagining
Yason gave me.
It is having a prong set with a
round brilliant diamond solitaire,
embraced by a sparkling
micro paved halo setting.
Give him the ring back.
Oh, I'm not sure
I know how to give back an...
Oh.
Whoo! Ooh!
It is fine.
I have a date tonight at the bar.
With businessman Terry Tompkinson
44, from Northwood Hills.
On no, Inca, don't!
Come round to mine and see Jason.
Jason who?
Lie!

I went to see Inca today,
and she gave me back her imaginary
engagement ring.
It's over. She's even going
on a date tonight. She moves fast!
Jason thinks she's going to
take him back. Yeah, well, he would.
You've got to tell him. I know. I
need moral support. I've got plans.
Alfie...

Fine.
Go on. What?

Er, Jason, now.
There's no easy way to say this,
so I'm just going to blurt it out.
Um...I went to see Inca today, and,
er, she said to give you this back.
I'm sorry.
What's she giving back?
It's the imaginary engagement ring
you never bought her.
She's being dramatic.
She'll have me back.
Jason, she's moving on.
She's going on a date tonight.
She's doing what? She's going on a
date. With who? Businessman Terry
someone...it's not the point.
It's not the point...
Right, I'm going down there. No...
No! And I'm going to give that bloke
a jolly good shoeing! A shoeing?
She's a fragile, rare butterfly.
She needs protecting,
otherwise she'll just end up
on some rich geezer's wall
with a pin stuck through her torso!
I've never loved anyone
the way I love her, never.
I'm going down there.
No, Jason, no! You're only
going to make things worse.
There's no way she'll take you back
if you go down there all guns
blazing. Is there, Alfie?
What? Oh, no.
Say something. Er...yes.
Wha..?
Well, yeah, OK, Mum's right.
You'll end up looking more of
a plank than you do in that
little Slanket thingy.
Thanks for those pearls of wisdom.
You're welcome. Supposing this
geezer's a murderer!
No, I'm sure Inca
can take care of herself.
But what I do propose is that, um...
That Alfie go to the bar to keep an
eye on her. What? No, I can't do
that, I've got a booty text.
Cheese and pickle girl got
the number I hid in her baguette.
This is a family emergency.
So get Billy to do it,
he's working at the bar tonight.
Oh, I don't know...
Well, I would feel better if I knew
that someone was watching over her.
No, forget it,
I'm going there meself!
No, Jason! Stay here,
I'll sort Billy out.
I mean, I'll sort it out with Billy.
I'm going to be all alone.
The girls are out.
You're going out.
You're going out.
Inca's even going out.
Oh, good, you're here.
Er, look, sorry,
but I haven't got time for the whole
flirty thing you do.
Flirty thing?
Yes. You stay stuff to me
and I get all hot and flustered,
and then I'm not sure
if it's attraction or the menopause.
Anyway, I haven't got time for that,
I need to get to the point. You're
doing well so far. Oh, thank you.
So...
..you wanted us
to get down to business? Oh, yes.
Er...no, it's not about us.
Um, look, I need you to do
a little bit of spying.
Well, not spying exactly,
more keeping an eye on.
So you want to hire me
as a detective?
Er...well not hire you so much,
more ask you to as a favour.
Ah, free detective work. You know,
I don't normally keep an eye
on people for nothing.
Is it Alfie?
Is he wearing women's clothes again?
What?
No, er...it's Inca.
Um, she's coming down here
to meet businessman Terry someone
for a date.
Does Alfie wear women's clothes?
Oh!
Ow!
Listen, I've had to practically
sedate Jason with bacon sandwiches
to stop him from coming down here
and making a scene.
Well, maybe he should do.
Show Inca how he feels,
stop pretending that there
isn't anything...
Is this about us again?
Definitely not, this is spy
business.
Would you stop bringing it round
to "us" all the time?
Ow!
Is that how you treat all
your employees? No, just stop it.
This is serious. If Jason comes down
here and starts getting all macho,
it's going to make things a lot
worse than they are already.
OK, understood.
So you'd like me to keep an eye
on Inca and report back to you? Yes.
Do we have code names?
I'm serious.
You text me
and let me know what's going on.
Should I intercept
if our client is in danger?
Well, yes, obviously.
You want me to put my life
on the line for you then?
Now you...stop it. I'm going.
You...
I would.
Yep, so would I.
♪ At last...
♪ My love has come along
♪ My lonely days are over... ♪
All right?
All right.
I'm just waiting for someone.
Yep, me.
You put your number in my baguette,
so here I am.
No. No, I put my number in cheese
and pickle girl's baguette.
No. She was the chicken
and pine nut.
I'm the cheese and pickle.
Oh...
Ohh...
Well, this is awkward.
Only if you're not gay.
Not gay.
So yeah...
it's a bit awkward.
Oh!
Sorry I'm late.
What's 22 minutes? Nothing's ruined.
Lovely to see you, come on in.
Oh, great.
Um, Tom...
The thing is, I...
Jason!
Yes, that's the thing.
Jason.
Just parking. All right, Tom?
Jason's had a bit of bad news.
Inca's on a date.
And I want to go down there and
batter the man, but Gemma
won't let me!
Yes, sorry, Tom, I just couldn't
leave him on his own.
It's all been a bit last minute.
I have plenty for three. You're
doing the grown-up thing, Jason.
No, I can't do it, I'm not grown-up,
I'm going down there.
No, Jason, be sensible.
Now, Billy's there and he's going to
be keeping an eye on things.
Oh, well, that's all right, then.
It's much better this way, Jason.
I made a terrible fool of myself
when Selina moved in with Imran.
I exploded at the Asda meat counter,
hurling a salami at him.
Wait it out and go and speak to her
tomorrow calmly and with dignity.
I'm so sorry about all of this.
We've all got baggage, Gem.
Yeah, well, I've brought mine
with me.
Literally.
Can I take your coat, Gemma?
And Jason, your, um...
Blankety thing.
Er, Billy...
A couple of pints for me
and my date, Cheese and Pickle.
Don't ask.
Did Mum ask you to spy on Inca?
Yeah, she wants me
to make notes and update her.
Very James Bond.
Quiz machine?
Sure, why not?
You know, Casanova was a spy,
for the Venetian Inquisitors
of State, in between his womanising.
I expect I'd be like him
if I was a spy.
I see you more as Mata Hari.
Oh, really? I bet he was cool.
Yeah, she was.
Good luck.
Cheers.
Get your own baguette date.
Now this is a beauty.
Birch wine.
Wine from a tree?
Yep.
You penetrate the bark,
let the sap drip into the bottle,
and then you begin
the wine-making process.
Dammit, I like it.
So you're a bit
of a Bear Grylls, then?
Does he make wine?
No, he eats flies and stuff.
Mm.
OK, what's the shortest
verse in the Bible? Jesus wept.
All right, I'm only asking.
No, that's the answer.
The shortest verse is "Jesus wept."
Ah-ha.
Right, in money slang,
how much is a "Pavarotti" worth?
It's C, 30.
What? No, hang on. It's B, 10 quid.
Inca, you look lovely!
I know.
It was hard for me to be doing
this dress up now that I am alone.
I'd be happy to help you
with your zip.
There is no zip.
It's like sausage skin.
I had to do lots of writhing
and wriggling on the bed.
I love this bar.
What can I get you?
Ah! Scotch on the rocks.
Allow me.
Are you my blind date?
No.
But I could be.
I am thinking not.
You are not exfoliating facially.
There you go.
Yeah, steady with the wine, Jason.
I'm enjoying myself, you lighten up.
So...
starters of fresh sardines.
Naples style.
Drizzled with a garlic
and white wine vinaigrette.
And the homemade bread on the table
is made by Poppy's own fair hand.
His kid makes bread.
Do our kids make bread?
Oh...no, mate, no.
Gemma doesn't eat anything with
eyes, do you, love?
It's fine. It's fine, I do now.
Really? What, dead googly eyes
staring at you?
Stop it, Jason.
Sorry, Gem, I didn't think to ask.
Mmmm-mm! This is lovely, mate.
Shall I take the head off?
No, it's fine, I can do it.
Selina, Poppy and I went
on a cooking course in Naples
on our last holiday together.
It was wonderful.
My last holiday with Inca
was five days on a barge
on the Norfolk Broads.
Inca turned some heads.
She was like
a Scandinavian ice queen
gliding that barge
down those canals.
She never let me drive.
"The barge she sat in,
"like a burnish'd throne,
burned on the water."
Shakespeare.
I have to go to her.
No, Jason, you can't.
Billy texted,
she's not even there yet.
How about I pop open some
parsnip champagne?
A wonderful beast,
the organic parsnip.
champagne, yeast, juice
of two oranges...
all in all,
quite a potent combination.
Mmm.
That was lovely, Tom, thank you.
Full up.
They pack a nutritional punch.
I know someone I'd like to punch.
You let them go,
and if they come back to you,
then it was meant to be.
Your wife never came
back from Imran. Jason!
Don't be rude!
SHE SIGHS
Maybe we should go.
No, don't be silly.
Jason's right, she didn't.
It wasn't meant to be.
Um...
Let's get the, er...
next course ready.
Fresh pasta.
Please, help yourselves
to the olives.
What?
Behave. I am.
Ugh!
So, you nervous about your date?
Oh...
Not so much.
I have had many dates.
Always they ask me on a second date,
and always I am saying no.
Ah, but you went on a second date
with Jason.
Yes, that's because on the first
date he was forgetting his purse,
so I paid.
So we had to have second date
so he could be reimbursing me back.
I see.
We are Europeans, you and I.
Foreigners getting mixed up
with the English,
with their tiny scared hearts.
It is pain-making.
Yeah, but real love is worth
the pain, isn't it?
I mean, having your heart ripped out
is part of knowing you're alive.
But you can't live
without your heart, Irish.
Yeah, but you can't live
if you keep it to yourself either.
I am wanting to show my love,
to yodel it from the mountains.
Oh...
But mens in this country,
they just cannot do this.
Where is Yason
now that I am to see another man?
I can tell you.
Eating pig at Gemma's.
No, thank you,
I am sorry to disappoint you.
I am sure you have thought all
the Easters have come at once
upon seeing me,
but I have just realised,
businessman Terry Tompkinson,
aged 44 from Northwood Hills,
that I am very much in love
with Yason.
Then Yason is an incredibly
lucky man.
Yes, he is. You are most astute.
There's my card.
If you ever change your mind.
No, thank you.
So what was wrong with him?
Yes, I know, he had great hairs
and fashions, but he just...
wasn't being Yason.
I think you should take her home.
Oh, sure.
Yeah, of course, of course.
But before we go,
does anyone know the name
of Sherlock Holmes's housekeeper?
Mrs Hudson. B, Mrs Hudson!
Got it!
Yes! Yes!!
Tom!
That is amazing!
Thank you, Jason.
If I was a woman, I'd marry you.
Wouldn't you, Gems?
Gemma, have you seen this?
Yes, wonderful.
Oh, you've got it all going, Tom,
haven't you, huh?
Nice house, nice car...
You can cook...
You're OK looking.
Thanks.
I used to think you were a bit of a
kno...
MESSAGE TONE
Oh! Text.
Is it Billy? What does he say?
Has Inca gone on the date?
He says...that Inca is at the bar,
and she seems sad.
She's missing me.
And that the guy arrived...
oh, and he was very good looking.
No! I'm going down there.
MESSAGE TONE
No, wait, wait.
He says Inca turned him away.
Oh, she still loves me.
Or maybe he had bad breath.
MESSAGE TONE
What else does he say?
Um, Billy says,
"I want to..."
He wants to what?
Oh! Um...
Oh, oh, oh, um...
Gemma?
Yes. Are you all right, Gemma?
No...um...
yes, I'm...I'm just a bit hot.
Well, there is a gentle after-kick
of fresh chilli from the linguine,
it can take you by surprise.
It certainly can.
Um...may I, um...use your bathroom?
Of course, upstairs.
First door on the left.
Right!
Let's get drunk!
What's next on the homemade wine
front?
Roast potato?
SHE SIGHS
Thank you for giving me
the rides home. You're welcome.
You know, he's all right, really.
Who?
Jason.
He's liar and pain maker
with the eyes of the beaver. Agreed.
But he...
you know, when he split up with Mum,
he didn't have to help out with me,
and he did.
Go on.
He always showed up
for school stuff, and...
well, you know, even though
he's a clown and a muppet,
he's kind of all right.
But if you tell him I said that,
I will deny it.
OK.
I will keep it under my socks.
He loves you, you know?
I know.
But I'm not so sure it's enoughs.
Hang on...
Your phone number
is in all these baguettes.
You must call her.
Reveal your heart.
You think?
Tell her how you feel, man.
Oh...I always make a hash
of that sort of stuff.
Inca stabbed me with a nail file the
last time I tried to be romantic.
Viking women are an enigma,
indeed.
But...
I could help you.
I trust you, Tom.
Ah...
DIALS NUMBER
HE SIGHS
Straight to voicemail.
Leave a message!
Tell her...
..that like her motherland,
her beauty is vast and majestic.
Inca, just like your mother,
you are vast and big.
But where is the spring
and the summer?
Where did it go?
I just don't know!
But still...my love for you
will live forever...

We need to stop meeting
in bathrooms.
Which would mean...meeting in places
where other people would see us.
It... Yes.
Which would mean...
telling people.
Oh...
Yodelling it from the mountains.
Well, maybe we could just...

No! Make her stay, I need a wet

I just want to get a flannel.
No, I'll get it!
I like to nurse people.
It's what makes me feel...whole.
Ooh..!
I think you should leave Jason here.
I'm not so sure I should.
It is my fault.
I undercooked the sardines.

She doesn't want you to judge.
Well, then she shouldn't tell me.
That's what friends do, judge.
Right, well,
I'll leave you two to it.
Well, not it. Well...
Well, probably it.
No, no, no, come in.
Billy, though? Judging...
Not judging, just saying.
Sounded a bit judging.

That woman is sleeping
with her husband,
her husband's father
and his father's brother!
Wow. Is that the father?
No, that's the husband.
There's the father.
Oh, dear. He looks very tired.
You'd think she'd wash her hair.
I mean, you know you're going
on telly, so you'd wash your hair,
wouldn't you?
Well, she's been quite busy.
Maybe she didn't have time.
Inca gives herself
an hour's preparation time
before she leaves the house.
You could take a leaf
out of her book, Gems.
You all right? Yeah, I just...
I miss her.
The cleanliness, the order,
the microbiotic food regime.
You'd never have guessed.
Could you go round and see her
for me?
Oh, no, I don't want to get
involved. You are involved, you're
the reason why I'm here.
No, Jason, you're the reason
why you're lying on the sofa
like a giant sausage roll.
Girls, get a wiggle on -
Brownie camp! Coming!
Billy!
Sup on my raw veg, will you?
Sorry?
My gazpacho. Oh. Have a taste.
Right.
I usually get Poppy's
sophisticated palate onto it,
but she's away at Brownie camp,
so... Mmm. I'll do my best.
It's a cold tomato-based soup,
originating from the southern
regions of Andalucia.
You know, I'm just not a soupy
kind of guy.
You know, anything liquidy
as a main meal
just kind of creeps
my tastebuds out.
But I'm sure Gemma will love it.
Well...
I haven't settled

Oh, um...here.

You should do salads, you know.
I have an irritable bowel.
Oh.
Well, I'll make sure I tell my boss.
Not about your bowel thing,
about the salad thing.
I bet you don't have
an irritable bowel.
Er...no.
Can I have a cheese
and pickle baguette,
chicken pine nut wrap, and some
crisps. Mmm, I like your style.
Certainly no bowel issues there.
CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY
No.
My bowels are fine, thanks.
There's a little something extra
in the cheese and pickle baguette.
You are very lucky
I was able to fitting you in.
People highly demand me.
Oh, thanks, Inca.
It's just I'm going to dinner
at Tom's tonight.
Tom is a snatch.
Catch.
Go behind screen
and slipping off clothes.
There are paper pants in there
for your safety.
Thanks.
So how are you, Inca?
Did Yason send you?
No.
I didn't tell him I was coming.
He misses you.
My heart is stone, Gemma.
Please onto the couch.
You want a wax while you're here?
Er, no, thanks.
Probably a mistake.
Oh, well, it's just friends
having dinner, no funny business.
BELL RINGS
Ooh!
You are burying your head
in the soot. Maybe.
What about you?
Aren't you burying your head
in the...
Ow!
Tension balls.
Inca, the thing is,
you and Jason are just so...
totally made for each other.
I thunk so too.
He was the deep fried fish
to my organic parsnip chips.
The high-cholesterol salt
to my filtered balsamic vinegar.
Basically, Gemma,
he was the ping to my pong.
Ohh!
But now I have thrust forward
with my life. Oh! Ooh!
Inca! Ooh! He has broken
the hoop of trust!
Oh, Inca! What?
Ooh...
You're hurting me.
Sorry, I forget you're frail.
Turn!
Ooh...
You see this?
Er, no.
This is the white platinum
engagement ring that I'm imagining
Yason gave me.
It is having a prong set with a
round brilliant diamond solitaire,
embraced by a sparkling
micro paved halo setting.
Give him the ring back.
Oh, I'm not sure
I know how to give back an...
Oh.
Whoo! Ooh!
It is fine.
I have a date tonight at the bar.
With businessman Terry Tompkinson
44, from Northwood Hills.
On no, Inca, don't!
Come round to mine and see Jason.
Jason who?
Lie!

Er, Jason, now.
There's no easy way to say this,

Um...I went to see Inca today, and,
er, she said to give you this back.
I'm sorry.
What's she giving back?
It's the imaginary engagement ring
you never bought her.
She's being dramatic.
She'll have me back.
Jason, she's moving on.
She's going on a date tonight.
She's doing what? She's going on a
date. With who? Businessman Terry
someone...it's not the point.
It's not the point...
Right, I'm going down there. No...
No! And I'm going to give that bloke
a jolly good shoeing! A shoeing?
She's a fragile, rare butterfly.
She needs protecting,
otherwise she'll just end up
on some rich geezer's wall
with a pin stuck through her torso!
I've never loved anyone
the way I love her, never.
I'm going down there.
No, Jason, no! You're only
going to make things worse.
There's no way she'll take you back
if you go down there all guns
blazing. Is there, Alfie?
What? Oh, no.
Say something. Er...yes.
Wha..?
Well, yeah, OK, Mum's right.
You'll end up looking more of
a plank than you do in that
little Slanket thingy.
Thanks for those pearls of wisdom.
You're welcome. Supposing this
geezer's a murderer!
No, I'm sure Inca
can take care of herself.
But what I do propose is that, um...
That Alfie go to the bar to keep an
eye on her. What? No, I can't do
that, I've got a booty text.
Cheese and pickle girl got
the number I hid in her baguette.
This is a family emergency.
So get Billy to do it,
he's working at the bar tonight.
Oh, I don't know...
Well, I would feel better if I knew
that someone was watching over her.
No, forget it,
I'm going there meself!
No, Jason! Stay here,
I'll sort Billy out.
I mean, I'll sort it out with Billy.
I'm going to be all alone.
The girls are out.
You're going out.
You're going out.
Inca's even going out.
Oh, good, you're here.
Er, look, sorry,
but I haven't got time for the whole
flirty thing you do.
Flirty thing?
Yes. You stay stuff to me
and I get all hot and flustered,
and then I'm not sure
if it's attraction or the menopause.
Anyway, I haven't got time for that,
I need to get to the point. You're
doing well so far. Oh, thank you.
So...
..you wanted us
to get down to business? Oh, yes.
Er...no, it's not about us.
Um, look, I need you to do
a little bit of spying.
Well, not spying exactly,
more keeping an eye on.
So you want to hire me
as a detective?
Er...well not hire you so much,
more ask you to as a favour.
Ah, free detective work. You know,
I don't normally keep an eye
on people for nothing.
Is it Alfie?
Is he wearing women's clothes again?
What?
No, er...it's Inca.
Um, she's coming down here
to meet businessman Terry someone
for a date.
Does Alfie wear women's clothes?
Oh!
Ow!
Listen, I've had to practically
sedate Jason with bacon sandwiches
to stop him from coming down here
and making a scene.
Well, maybe he should do.
Show Inca how he feels,
stop pretending that there
isn't anything...
Is this about us again?
Definitely not, this is spy
business.
Would you stop bringing it round
to "us" all the time?
Ow!
Is that how you treat all
your employees? No, just stop it.
This is serious. If Jason comes down
here and starts getting all macho,
it's going to make things a lot
worse than they are already.
OK, understood.
So you'd like me to keep an eye
on Inca and report back to you? Yes.
Do we have code names?
I'm serious.
You text me
and let me know what's going on.
Should I intercept
if our client is in danger?
Well, yes, obviously.
You want me to put my life
on the line for you then?
Now you...stop it. I'm going.
You...
I would.
Yep, so would I.
♪ At last...
♪ My love has come along
♪ My lonely days are over... ♪
All right?
All right.
I'm just waiting for someone.
Yep, me.
You put your number in my baguette,
so here I am.
No. No, I put my number in cheese
and pickle girl's baguette.
No. She was the chicken
and pine nut.
I'm the cheese and pickle.
Oh...
Ohh...
Well, this is awkward.
Only if you're not gay.
Not gay.
So yeah...
it's a bit awkward.
Oh!
Sorry I'm late.
What's 22 minutes? Nothing's ruined.
Lovely to see you, come on in.
Oh, great.
Um, Tom...
The thing is, I...
Jason!
Yes, that's the thing.
Jason.
Just parking. All right, Tom?
Jason's had a bit of bad news.
Inca's on a date.
And I want to go down there and
batter the man, but Gemma
won't let me!
Yes, sorry, Tom, I just couldn't
leave him on his own.
It's all been a bit last minute.
I have plenty for three. You're
doing the grown-up thing, Jason.
No, I can't do it, I'm not grown-up,
I'm going down there.
No, Jason, be sensible.
Now, Billy's there and he's going to
be keeping an eye on things.
Oh, well, that's all right, then.
It's much better this way, Jason.
I made a terrible fool of myself
when Selina moved in with Imran.
I exploded at the Asda meat counter,
hurling a salami at him.
Wait it out and go and speak to her
tomorrow calmly and with dignity.
I'm so sorry about all of this.
We've all got baggage, Gem.
Yeah, well, I've brought mine
with me.
Literally.
Can I take your coat, Gemma?
And Jason, your, um...
Blankety thing.
Er, Billy...
A couple of pints for me
and my date, Cheese and Pickle.
Don't ask.
Did Mum ask you to spy on Inca?
Yeah, she wants me
to make notes and update her.
Very James Bond.
Quiz machine?
Sure, why not?
You know, Casanova was a spy,
for the Venetian Inquisitors
of State, in between his womanising.
I expect I'd be like him
if I was a spy.
I see you more as Mata Hari.
Oh, really? I bet he was cool.
Yeah, she was.
Good luck.
Cheers.
Get your own baguette date.
Now this is a beauty.
Birch wine.
Wine from a tree?
Yep.
You penetrate the bark,
let the sap drip into the bottle,
and then you begin
the wine-making process.
Dammit, I like it.
So you're a bit
of a Bear Grylls, then?
Does he make wine?
No, he eats flies and stuff.
Mm.
OK, what's the shortest
verse in the Bible? Jesus wept.
All right, I'm only asking.
No, that's the answer.
The shortest verse is "Jesus wept."
Ah-ha.
Right, in money slang,
how much is a "Pavarotti" worth?
It's C, 30.
What? No, hang on. It's B, 10 quid.
Inca, you look lovely!
I know.
It was hard for me to be doing
this dress up now that I am alone.
I'd be happy to help you
with your zip.
There is no zip.
It's like sausage skin.
I had to do lots of writhing
and wriggling on the bed.
I love this bar.
What can I get you?
Ah! Scotch on the rocks.
Allow me.
Are you my blind date?
No.
But I could be.
I am thinking not.
You are not exfoliating facially.
There you go.
Yeah, steady with the wine, Jason.
I'm enjoying myself, you lighten up.
So...
starters of fresh sardines.
Naples style.
Drizzled with a garlic
and white wine vinaigrette.
And the homemade bread on the table
is made by Poppy's own fair hand.
His kid makes bread.
Do our kids make bread?
Oh...no, mate, no.
Gemma doesn't eat anything with
eyes, do you, love?
It's fine. It's fine, I do now.
Really? What, dead googly eyes
staring at you?
Stop it, Jason.
Sorry, Gem, I didn't think to ask.
Mmmm-mm! This is lovely, mate.
Shall I take the head off?
No, it's fine, I can do it.
Selina, Poppy and I went
on a cooking course in Naples
on our last holiday together.
It was wonderful.
My last holiday with Inca
was five days on a barge
on the Norfolk Broads.
Inca turned some heads.
She was like
a Scandinavian ice queen
gliding that barge
down those canals.
She never let me drive.
"The barge she sat in,
"like a burnish'd throne,
burned on the water."
Shakespeare.
I have to go to her.
No, Jason, you can't.
Billy texted,
she's not even there yet.
How about I pop open some
parsnip champagne?
A wonderful beast,
the organic parsnip.
champagne, yeast, juice
of two oranges...
all in all,
quite a potent combination.
Mmm.
That was lovely, Tom, thank you.
Full up.
They pack a nutritional punch.
I know someone I'd like to punch.
You let them go,
and if they come back to you,
then it was meant to be.
Your wife never came
back from Imran. Jason!
Don't be rude!
SHE SIGHS
Maybe we should go.
No, don't be silly.
Jason's right, she didn't.
It wasn't meant to be.
Um...
Let's get the, er...
next course ready.
Fresh pasta.
Please, help yourselves
to the olives.
What?
Behave. I am.
Ugh!
So, you nervous about your date?
Oh...
Not so much.
I have had many dates.
Always they ask me on a second date,
and always I am saying no.
Ah, but you went on a second date
with Jason.
Yes, that's because on the first
date he was forgetting his purse,
so I paid.
So we had to have second date
so he could be reimbursing me back.
I see.
We are Europeans, you and I.
Foreigners getting mixed up
with the English,
with their tiny scared hearts.
It is pain-making.
Yeah, but real love is worth
the pain, isn't it?
I mean, having your heart ripped out
is part of knowing you're alive.
But you can't live
without your heart, Irish.
Yeah, but you can't live
if you keep it to yourself either.
I am wanting to show my love,
to yodel it from the mountains.
Oh...
But mens in this country,
they just cannot do this.
Where is Yason
now that I am to see another man?
I can tell you.
Eating pig at Gemma's.
No, thank you,
I am sorry to disappoint you.
I am sure you have thought all
the Easters have come at once
upon seeing me,
but I have just realised,
businessman Terry Tompkinson,
aged 44 from Northwood Hills,
that I am very much in love
with Yason.
Then Yason is an incredibly
lucky man.
Yes, he is. You are most astute.
There's my card.
If you ever change your mind.
No, thank you.
So what was wrong with him?
Yes, I know, he had great hairs
and fashions, but he just...
wasn't being Yason.
I think you should take her home.
Oh, sure.
Yeah, of course, of course.
But before we go,
does anyone know the name
of Sherlock Holmes's housekeeper?
Mrs Hudson. B, Mrs Hudson!
Got it!
Yes! Yes!!
Tom!
That is amazing!
Thank you, Jason.
If I was a woman, I'd marry you.
Wouldn't you, Gems?
Gemma, have you seen this?
Yes, wonderful.
Oh, you've got it all going, Tom,
haven't you, huh?
Nice house, nice car...
You can cook...
You're OK looking.
Thanks.
I used to think you were a bit of a
kno...
MESSAGE TONE
Oh! Text.
Is it Billy? What does he say?
Has Inca gone on the date?
He says...that Inca is at the bar,
and she seems sad.
She's missing me.
And that the guy arrived...
oh, and he was very good looking.
No! I'm going down there.
MESSAGE TONE
No, wait, wait.
He says Inca turned him away.
Oh, she still loves me.
Or maybe he had bad breath.
MESSAGE TONE
What else does he say?
Um, Billy says,
"I want to..."
He wants to what?
Oh! Um...
Oh, oh, oh, um...
Gemma?
Yes. Are you all right, Gemma?
No...um...
yes, I'm...I'm just a bit hot.
Well, there is a gentle after-kick
of fresh chilli from the linguine,
it can take you by surprise.
It certainly can.
Um...may I, um...use your bathroom?
Of course, upstairs.
First door on the left.
Right!
Let's get drunk!
What's next on the homemade wine
front?
Roast potato?
SHE SIGHS
Thank you for giving me
the rides home. You're welcome.
You know, he's all right, really.
Who?
Jason.
He's liar and pain maker
with the eyes of the beaver. Agreed.
But he...
you know, when he split up with Mum,
he didn't have to help out with me,
and he did.
Go on.
He always showed up
for school stuff, and...
well, you know, even though
he's a clown and a muppet,
he's kind of all right.
But if you tell him I said that,
I will deny it.
OK.
I will keep it under my socks.
He loves you, you know?
I know.
But I'm not so sure it's enoughs.
Hang on...
Your phone number
is in all these baguettes.
You must call her.
Reveal your heart.
You think?
Tell her how you feel, man.
Oh...I always make a hash
of that sort of stuff.
Inca stabbed me with a nail file the
last time I tried to be romantic.
Viking women are an enigma,
indeed.
But...
I could help you.
I trust you, Tom.
Ah...
DIALS NUMBER

Straight to voicemail.
Leave a message!
Tell her...

and the summer?
Where did it go?
I just don't know!

will live forever...
