Any idea how painful that is? 1067 01:07:00,720 --> 01:07:04,200 Well, I can see the results. Cliff's just really upset me 1068 01:07:04,200 --> 01:07:06,280 and you're just thinking about the car. 1069 01:07:06,280 --> 01:07:10,320 You mind more about the car.

It's ruined. 1077 01:07:46,080 --> 01:07:48,800 We're not having an argy-bargy about it, are we? 1078 01:07:49,440 --> 01:07:51,480 No. 1079 01:07:58,160 --> 01:08:01,040 'I'm getting a bit of that glass wall feeling again. 1080 01:08:01,840 --> 01:08:04,960 Without the fun of the shop and only the odd card from Cliff. 1081 01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:07,000 It all feels a bit dim. 1082 01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:11,320 There is of course my sister-in-law's rather peculiar whirlwind engagement.' 1083 01:08:11,320 --> 01:08:15,480 No, well you're too broad. I've more of a nipped-in outline than you. 1084 01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:17,520 Still can't believe it. 1085 01:08:17,520 --> 01:08:20,160 Went to the Isle of Man - got a man! 1086 01:08:20,160 --> 01:08:22,440 Good job you didn't go to the Isle of Dogs! 1087 01:08:26,720 --> 01:08:30,880 Mrs Last!

Last" in that famous scribble. 1090 01:08:36,120 --> 01:08:39,520 No. I felt perhaps I didn't have the right character for the shop. 1091 01:08:39,520 --> 01:08:41,960 Perhaps not enough pluck and fortitude. 1092 01:08:42,520 --> 01:08:46,840 Now you're quoting my words back at me. Have I offended you? 1093 01:08:47,160 --> 01:08:51,040 Yes. Because you've said things to me and they weren't fair 1094 01:08:51,040 --> 01:08:53,000 and they weren't kind, 1095 01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:55,880 and that's why I sit on the back table at Hospital Supply 1096 01:08:55,880 --> 01:08:59,000 where you won't see me and why I don't come in the shop. 1097 01:09:00,840 --> 01:09:04,720 Well, now.
