What do you make of Dorothy's answer to the Eden Project?

There's a lot not happy about this road here.

Good news is, we've got the provisional go -ahead for an access road.

And the bad?

According to the surveyors, the only viable route is across Glenbogle Land.

No road, no ecodome.

Wonderful.

Right? Leave this to me.

Archie, how lovely. Lady Dorothy, I don't think you've met my brother.

Now then, Archie, I've got something rather exciting I want to talk to you

about.

Hi,

I'm Paul,

Archie's new business partner.

Very impressive.

It's a lap thing I have sent up from London.

No, I meant the... You do know that a lot of people are concerned about the

increased volume of traffic in the village. So am I, which is what I wanted

talk to you about.

I've agreed to build an access road to bypass the village.

Seems very fair to the locals, I'm sure you agree.

Anyway, I've had a survey done, and the shortest route runs from here to here.

But that goes across my land.

It goes right through the outdoor activity centre.

Let's talk.

That's not bad. Just need a wee bit more distance.

I'll get it if it kills me.

You'd better get a move on if you're coming over me today.

Sorry,

Lady Dorothy, but no way.

Can we at least discuss the implications of this? I wish you all the best with

your development, but I cannot allow you to run a road through my land.

Isn't this something you need to discuss with your brother?

I know that Paul and Lexi would agree with me on this one.

Well, I can't pretend I'm not disappointed, but do you feel that

I do.

So be it.

Now, the object of this exercise is to work as a team.

The more you work together, the faster you... Hey, lads, knock it on the air,

will you?

Right, now you should have an itinerary, a map and a comfort.

Excuse me.

You're trespassing.

Haven't you heard?

There's no such thing as trespassing in Scotland.

What's your name?

Elvis. I never died.

I've been in the Highlands living on berries.

I'm... I'm not so sure this is a good idea.

It's a great idea.

If only the Glasgow job had happened, eh?

Duncan, this is a real opportunity.

It's not just a job.

It's a career.

Come on, Tiger.

Let go.

That's a joke. You get your act together or you may find yourself on the end of

my roof.

And believe me, you don't want to be there.

Hello.

Can I help you?

I was wondering if we could have a... I was hoping... You want the job of site

manager. I know. My daughter told me.

Let's cut to the chase.

The chase?

Yes.

Exactly. I'm looking for a career change.

A new direction, a new challenge.

And I believe... Well, you'll understand I'm seeing other candidates, but I'll

bear you in mind when the time comes. Mummy, you know you haven't got anyone

else lined up.

Please let me deal with my own personnel matters, am I?

Mummy!

All right, all right. He's got the job.

Don't let me down.

I can't believe the nerve of that woman.

She wants to build a road through our land.

So we're just supposed to smile and say, yes, Dorothy.

Of course, Dorothy. Anything you say, Dorothy.

I'm sensing some hostility.

You don't know what she's really like.

I know you two didn't get off on the right foot, but... Does it not strike

as ironic that in order to build her so -called eco -dome, the first thing she

does is start felling trees and destroying the local habitat?

Well, the land was viewed to be cleared anyway.

You're so trusting. So innocent.

What do you mean, innocent?

You smell that?

Horse manure.

No.

Well, yeah.

No, but there's something else, too. It's like sweet, like honey.

No diesel.

No petrol.

Don't know.

I think my lungs are in shock.

There. Careful.

Did I tell you that the college principal asked if they'd be interested

teaching post?

That's a good profession.

Yeah. Not for me.

I'll go there and I'll have it sometime.

They might have something going at the ghillie's rest.

After all those years at college, you'd rather work in a pub than teach.

I'll sort things out. I mean, don't get me wrong. College taught me a lot, but

there's no substitute for practical experience.

Absolutely.

So let's see what you can do.

You can start by mocking out the bomb.

Right.

Okay.

Read and deal with it immediately, OK?

Got it.

Don't look so worried, Poppy.

You've done the right thing.

Do you have any food?

A suit. Additionally, a jacket and trousers.

Preferably matching.

We were about to sort that out.

We were?

Well, you'll be all day about it.

Let's go.

What?

There's something I need to do first.

Resign.

Oh.

This has just been kicked and kicked until it broke.

What chance?

Pretty inept ones if it is.

You and Brodie are made of no one. What the hell?

One of my fence posts is down.

That'll be your doing, I suppose.

It would have to be me, wouldn't it?

You said it, son, not me.

I'd stay clear of this one if I was you, young lady.

This is educational.

All learning about nature.

Come on.

Hiya.

I've lost one of the girls. You haven't seen any strays, have you?

This is one of yours, I think.

Where have you been?

These two have been knocking down fences.

Okay, you get back to the others.

And you, just clear off.

When did this become a police state?

I'm sorry, golly, now that the fence has taken off, it's our keeping an eye on

them single -handed. That one's watched the watch and he's trouble.

Golly, you can bag me a few moments, could you?

I could do that.

It's an evening job.

I'll see what I can catch later on. You'd better fix that fence.

I don't suppose there's any chance of pouring jets for a few hours, just until

get myself sorted out.

Sure.

Where have you been?

Ah, well, actually, that's a good... That's what I've come to tell you.

Look, there's no easy way to say this, so... Well, I mean, there you have it.

There we have what?

What? Duncan.

Ah, right, no, good point. Exactly.

Well, the thing is...

I think I'm going to have to hand in my notice, really.

Why?

Well, I've been offered another job and I've decided to take it.

Are you sure you know what you're doing?

You can't go.

I can't stay here, Lex.

But you're part of this play.

Well, I've got to move on. I mean, it's hardly as if I'm going that far.

I thought the job was in Glasgow.

No, I've been offered a job at Caerwilly Castle.

Site managing the eco -dome.

Duncan, man.

When do you start?

Well, I've kind of started already, really.

Oh.

I... Yeah, yeah, thanks for coming over.

Yeah.

Do I get to say anything?

You did, didn't you?

Well, I knew that Duncan was feeling like spreading his wings when you

some hotel job in Glasgow.

Well, I must say, you've taken us very well considering we've just lost our

ranger. Yes, I must talk to Golly about that.

Yeah, and Paul.

Well, I think you'll find that Golly and I know a little bit more about what

makes a good head ranger than Paul.

Well,

if you're going to hang around here, you might as well make yourself useful.

You think you can manage on your own?

Um, I reckon so, sir.

Yes, sir. Good.

I'll go and prepare lunch.

Oh, I'll have the venison on the bed of wild leaves.

And, um, don't forget to drizzle the raspberry coolie.

What am I going to do now?

I don't know. Don't look at me.

I've got a pain. It's good for the kids.

Problems?

An ideal of an exotic repertoire.

The plate spinning act is getting ridiculous.

I'm trying to look after the kids at the same time as building a salt course.

Well, if you don't think you can manage, maybe we should offer fewer places.

Yeah, or better still, hire some help.

I've told you, this is not a good time to be taking anyone on.

Is anyone going to get that?

Yeah.

They've been gotten.

Ooh! A lovely room.

Been the same for years.

Traditional Highland chic.

Don't change it, Archie. It's too charming.

Arch, have you seen... Oh.

I didn't know you had.

company. I'm just admiring the old world charm of Glenbogle House.

Yeah, well, I feel that a house should reflect its inhabitants.

I couldn't agree with you more. And this is so homely.

Was there something you wanted, Lex?

No. No, doesn't matter.

Anyway, I must get on. So much to do.

The trials and tribulations of being a lad's wife, eh? Well, you know what it's

like running a larger state.

So many responsibilities.

especially with the local people relying on you to do the right thing.

So, to what do I owe this honour?

I was wondering if you'd considered expanding your wildlife park.

Oh, yeah, you're on strike.

Well, I've not been paid and I haven't had any lunch.

I could take you to the European Court of Human Rights, you know.

You, uh, you always lived in Glenbogle?

Just a couple of years.

I've been along myself.

I might as well live anywhere else now.

You're welcome to it.

Well, I mean, it's all right to like walking and fishing, but the only

nightlife's the problem. What good's that if you can't get work on your skin?

So what are you going to do with yourself?

I suppose I could take my chances back in Glasgow.

I haven't thought about the army.

It can be a good life.

You go and check with your eyes open.

You've got eyes.

What? I don't look like army material.

Come on.

Give us an eye.

Here's the deal.

I'll match however much of your land my road uses with land from my estate.

I don't need any more land.

You do realise the ecodome will breathe new life into the area.

150 new jobs, just for starters.

150? And if your wildlife park takes off, you'll need more staff.

Between us, we'll be regenerating the local economy.

And what if I was to refuse you access across my land?

There is another route.

But it would mean rehousing six families, which I'd hate to do, and I

would too.

I used to bring girls here.

Well, it's no go, eh?

They caught me enough time.

There's hardly any girls to get caught with anymore.

Why's that?

They all get jobs in the city. I go to college.

What about you?

I'm not exactly the academic type.

Oh, yeah? What type are you?

The watching daytime quiz shows and cookery programmes type.

Well, maybe you'll get a job in the city.

I'm not exactly overqualified.

Why did your parents move up here in the first place?

They talked about it for years.

Thought the fresh air would be good for it.

Anyway, I reckon they'd be gutted if I moved back.

So you're a good lad, really.

Aye.

All right.

I'm no angel.

But I'm not what they made me out to be, either.

What would you say if I offered you a job?

Okay. You don't want it?

Doing what?

Well, I need someone to help me run this place.

Are you serious?

Of course.

For money?

No, for lollipops.

Yeah, of course for money.

Come on, we'll discuss it over lunch.

Pasta on a bed of toast.

All right, lads, gather round to give this man about his pay.

Aye, aye, Duncan.

So you're the boss.

Oh, I wouldn't call me the boss, Brendan.

I mean, I don't want you to think of me as... I

mean, it's not a... a them.

An us situation, is it?

No, I just came down to say that I'm sure that you're as excited about this

project as I am. And to remember that it's not just a job, but that you're

part of a team.

You're a cog in a machine made of men.

Any questions?

Aye. Put it together, sir.

Now, I'm holding a meeting in the village hall tomorrow night to launch

Dome project officially.

Will you be there?

Yeah, I'll be there.

Good. Still a bit of a newcomer when it comes to the locals, and it'd be nice to

have someone to hold my hand.

Well, I didn't promise your brother that. I know.

I'm so grateful.

Oh. I don't suppose you'd consider chairing the meeting as a prominent

figure.

Um, yeah, why not?

Of course, it'd be really useful to know if I had your go -ahead for the access

road, but I quite understand if you're not allowed to make decisions single

-handed anymore.

I can make whatever decisions I like.

Good. So what do you say?

Have we got a deal?

Try, lads. Let's do it.

And the quicker we get started, the sooner we get away.

Duncan.

Let me explain something.

We're no peace workers.

We're paid by the hour.

So how the hell would we want to go away early?

Does the word bonus mean anything to you?

I'll do for me.

I cannot believe you did that.

After everything that I said.

Look, I was only acting in the best interest of the village and Glenbogle.

you have linked the Glenbogle name to Dorothy Trumpington Bonnet. Let's just

hope that you're right.

By a moment.

No.

No, Paul. Come in.

Archie's got some great news.

He plans to redevelop your site.

What?

I knew you weren't that interested in the activity centre, but to run a road

through it... Come on now, Paul, Archie wouldn't be that petty.

Like it or not, Dorothy is here to stay, so we might as well work with her.

We've got plenty of land to move the activity centre wherever we want.

No, you're missing the point. We are supposed to be partners, but you

even be bothered to consult me. Um, I think I'll leave you two boys to sort

your differences.

What are you doing here?

Um... Paul's magnificent.

Wait for me by the assault course, will you?

What a hypocrite. I cannot believe that you have the nerve to give me a hard

time over Dorothy when you go and hire people without even asking me.

Bye. Bye.

Sorry about that, lads. Senior management are unable to offer any

now. However, the good news is that the eco -dome will prove a bonus to the

whole area.

Right then, let's get on with some work.

Yeah, lads, back to work.

Duncan, did you forget anything?

A good workman always looks after his tools.

Who's that from?

It's just Molly.

Are they having a good time?

Yes, just so it seems.

Hey, they'd better get on.

Dad?

How about I take a gun and go after those rabbits?

I'll do that this evening.

I've got a license, you know.

I know, I know.

But no one shoots in this estate without me.

So what's going to happen now that Duncan's gone?

We'll have to look for a new head ranger.

And what will you be looking for?

Well, for starters, I'll have to show a lot of initiative.

Right. Of course you will.

What's that supposed to mean? Oh, forget it.

Women.

Well, that's right.

Flamp us all together.

Look, Dad, just because Molly's gone away with Andrew, there's no need to

out on me.

I'm impressed.

How's the boyfriend coming along? You can't wait for Duncan to fall flat on

face, can you?

I just wonder if he's up to the job.

Duncan's been waiting for the right job to come along, and now it has.

He's going to show everyone what he's made of. You'll see.

I thought I'd crack on while I was waiting.

You alright, boss?

Yeah. I dropped the bus. It's all... Look,

I know you put your head on a block to get me this job, so... Well, I just

wanted to say I'll try and not let you down.

Well, go on then. Get on with it.

Now, if you want to change the view, all you have to do is hold down Alt -Ctrl

-Shift, then hit F3, and as if by magic... Have

you had a word I've said?

Yeah.

Yes, of course. This is important, you know, Duncan.

I know.

It's not just about work.

It's about the future.

Our future.

This project is mommy's baby, but who knows?

One day we might hear the patter of tiny feet.

You're not.

Would it be so terrible?

Relax, sweetie.

I'm not planning to start a family for at least another 18 months.

Let's get the eco -dome up and running first, eh?

After all, this would be our baby's inheritance.

Your turn.

Hello? Hi, Duncan.

It's Lexi here. Have you got a moment?

I... Actually, I'm in a meeting just now, but I can give you a minute. What

seems to be the problem?

I was just wondering, could we maybe meet up?

Yeah. Yeah, I dare say we can blue sky this one. What sort of thing is it?

General brainstorming session?

Um, no, I just meant meet up, you know, for a chat, a drink.

Right, I tell you what, let me, um, let me check the diary.

Uh... Right.

When, uh... When were you thinking?

Say, tonight, at round eight at the pub.

Yeah.

You're a definite pencil.

I don't know.

I couldn't find that.

I was only trying to show some initiative.

By deliberately disobeying me. That wasn't why I did it. Then why?

You won't give me a chance to show you what I can do.

If this was anything to go by.

Look, Dad, I know you and Duncan were a team, but he's gone.

And I'd like to prove to you that I'm worth considering for the job.

You? Why not me?

You want to work for a laird? You've changed your tune. It's got nothing to

with who I work for. It's about working the land.

And you'd probably prefer me to get married and start producing kids.

Yes.

So, nothing to have landed on your feet with Dawn, eh?

You know that she's asked Archie if she can cut a road across our land.

You didn't know about that?

Oh, that road?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

So,

does she have any more big plans, you know, to expand the Kowali Empire?

Well, you'd have to ask Dorothy that.

I don't think that she would tell me, do you?

Look, the thing is, if Glenbogle's name is going to be linked to hers, then

listen... There's a meeting tomorrow night.

Yes, and Dorothy operates on a need -to -know basis.

And that's why I was wondering that if you were to hear any snippets, you could

maybe...

Dorothy's giving me a break, a chance to move on.

When I worked for you and Arch, I never betrayed your loyalty, and I'm not going

to betray hers.

If you've got a problem with Dorothy, well, you know where to find her.

Yeah.

Yes, I do.

I was lucky tonight.

She's gone to see a friend.

Maybe this will be a good time for us to talk.

If we carry on like this, we're never going to make this partnership work.

I don't think you're in the position to take the moral high ground after hiring

that lad.

I was just giving a local kid a job. Which is exactly what Dorothy and I are

trying to do, 150 of them.

Have you thought about... The disruption it's going to cause move in the

activity centre.

OK, but weigh that up against 150 new local jobs.

Archie, people look to you as lead. They trust us.

If anything goes wrong with Dorothy's grand plan, our name gets dragged

the mud as well.

You've been talking to Lexi.

Nothing's going to go wrong.

It's in all of our interest to stick to this agreement over the road. Do you

honestly believe that Dorothy gives a damn about anything or anyone apart from

herself? You don't have to ask me that.

Well, maybe I will.

Of course I care about the kids, as you call them. Oh, so you're happy to close

down the activity centre for who knows how long?

You're being a teensy bit melodramatic.

Yeah, and I think you're wrecking our attempt to do something worthwhile

here.

My dear Paul, I'm sorry that you and Archie don't see eye to eye on this,

A deal's a deal.

Yeah, well, Archie had no right to make any deals without me being present.

In that case, I think you're sounding off with the wrong person.

Now, there isn't anything else.

Yes, he came and sat at the little porch and told me he'd disproved of my

arrangement with his little brother.

Is he going to give us trouble?

Archie's the one who worked the kiln in that carpentry.

Well, I hope you're right, because we're finished without that road.

Don't worry.

Kiss, kiss, tiger.

Good meeting.

You know, networking.

Bit of strategic brainstorming.

You're very flexy when you go all alpha male on me.

Actually...

It's been a long day.

I think I'll turn in.

You've read my mind.

Why don't you go on ahead, and I'll be up in a minute.

That's an hors d 'oeuvre.

Don't be long.

What are you doing here?

I'm sorry, but I just had to... No, actually, don't.

You're very sexy when you go and eat the mane on me.

Oh, just hurry up.

Duncan!

All right.

Steady on, tiger.

I was just about to come up, too.

Well, in that case...

Morning. Morning.

I'm sorry I took the gun.

Let's just put that behind us.

OK. So, what do you want me to do?

Come in.

He's early.

That's a good start.

Morning. Morning.

You and the scone trailers today. I promised Paul to try him out.

I was thinking about what you said.

You're right.

The locals do look to me, to all of us, to do the right thing.

So what are you saying?

Well, I was hoping that we could maybe present a united front for this meeting

tonight.

Do you want me to back up?

I think we should look beyond this thing, yeah?

There you go.

Remember what we said, you take a deep breath, you hold it, and then just

squeeze the trigger.

And get your safety off of you.

OK, here you go.

Well, yeah, it's not bad, son.

Maybe just next time try and keep your eyes open.

You mind taking over, Jess?

Don't want me to take up teaching?

Well, I thought you might pass on what you've learned about fly fishing and get

a wee bit of extra practice in while you're at it.

Right, I'm off to bag those rabbits I promised to Len.

Put that gun down!

Never, ever point a gun at anyone.

All right.

All right? All right, fine.

All right.

Let's go fishing.

Morning. What's this?

No suit?

No, I thought this would be a safer bet.

I didn't think you'd be back.

Oh, India rubber me.

You all right, lads?

Any more initiation rights or will we pretend to be grown -ups and, you know,

actually do some work?

Fair enough.

Right, lads, back to work.

Down at last?

Must have been a heavy night.

It was.

Keep your wrists firm and swing from the elbow.

What you don't want to do is flick.

Smooth fluid movement you're after.

Let's see if you can do this.

Look and laugh.

Eh,

never mind.

We'll just unsnag this.

And we'll have another go.

Right, you ready?

Ready.

Surely you're not going to let a girl beat you.

I didn't break in. The door was unlocked.

I think you'll find in the eyes of the law that is technically burglary. Have

you completely lost your senses?

She is up to something, Archie. You just can't let it go, can you?

Did your new best friend happen to tell you that without the access road there's

no ecodome?

No, but... Aha!

Aha, nothing.

Have you any proof at all that she's been up to no good?

No.

Aha.

How'd it go with Ewan?

He's a nice kid.

Tried really hard, but to be honest, I wouldn't think he was a natural head

ranger. No?

Okay, well, I'll let Paul know. Not that I'll stop you both from taking him on.

What? Well, he is the right sex.

I know, I'm only here for a while.

But it's not just the job.

Okay, the money would have been nice, but the thing that really gets me is I

can't believe my own dad could be so insensitive.

What have I been insensitive?

If you don't know... Just tell me, lass.

All I wanted was a bit of recognition.

A word, a smile, a sign that you had noted how hard I was trying to impress

you.

The only reason I took up land management was after I met you for the

time.

I wanted to make you proud of me.

I was tripped with that.

Jeff?

Duncan, I need to talk to you. I told you... No, no, no, just hear me out.

OK. I found a file last night.

Like this? No, I think it's important.

I've got to get on, I'm sorry. I've also just had a phone call from a hotel in

Glasgow.

Ah, it's you.

Bad day?

Never nothing better.

Yes, me too.

Wish I'd never agreed to this partnership.

In the future, I've got to make a go of this.

There's going to have to be some guarantee.

Well, that's it. It's not always easy to accept pain.

No.

How do family businesses keep going?

Well, look at me, son.

I'm the last man to ask.

Jess.

We don't seem to be able to talk.

I don't know how to listen.

Ever since you come back.

She's making you feel old.

You just watch it, laddie.

Well, I'd better get going.

Archie, before you go, my son would like to ask

you.

No, Lexi.

That's where we meet us down there.

Glad I caught you.

Oh, not another accident? No, nothing like that.

It's just... Well, I wanted to thank you both for giving me a chance, but I'm

just not cut out to be a head ranger.

I'm, um... I'm sorry to hear that.

Ah, well.

I suppose it's good to know your weaknesses as well as your strengths.

You'll find a job soon.

Well, I'd better be off.

Soon be the last time.

Yeah, that reminds me.

Isn't it your turn to cook tonight?

Oh, yeah. Well, he forgot.

I'll have to rustle up something when I get back.

Looks like someone's going hungry. See ya.

Watch it, you.

You've not even changed.

What?

I know about the hotel job.

What are you talking about?

You opened the letter.

The job was mine. You told me I didn't get it and they gave it to somebody

I trusted you, Hermione.

How could you do that?

It was only a job.

That's okay for you to say.

You'll never be stuck for work as long as you've got your mummy to bail you

In case you hadn't noticed, you're doing all right, thanks to her.

You knew how much I wanted that job.

I couldn't stand the idea of you being so far away.

Oh, it was only Glasgow.

I thought you'd be happier here with me.

No, Hermione, don't pretend that you were thinking about what was best for

You lied to me.

Where are you going?

Well, the meeting, of course.

I wouldn't miss that for the world.

And then?

Then I'll come back here and start the pack.

Duncan. Sorry, Hermione.

I just can't trust you anymore.

Had that happened a week or two from now when perhaps... Are you hungry, lass?

I've got a pot of hot homemade soup there.

Whatever.

Would you mind just switching that off for a minute?

I'm... I'm sorry if I upset you.

I know.

I just wanted you to take me seriously.

I just wanted you to know what this job is really like.

Tell me.

Well, um... Well, you can forget about your social life for a start.

I can tell you that dear make a pretty lousy conversation.

It's a vacation, rather, on a job. You work very long hours for very little

thanks.

The only reward you get is knowing that the land is well looked after.

But you love it.

Imagine how I felt today when you told me you were trying Ewan out.

That was Paul. He wanted to give the boy another chance.

You handled them well, though.

Did I? Oh, yes.

Anyway, I've had a word with Archie, and he's happy for you to have the head

ranger job while you're here.

And so am I.

I mean, what I thought you said.

I did.

Good

evening,

ladies and gentlemen.

Good evening.

It's good to see such a big turnout.

It has come to my, or rather, our attention that all sorts of rumours have

circulating since work on the ecodome site began.

So I'm going to hand you over to Lady Dorothy Trumpet and Bonnet, who I'm sure

will be more than happy to answer any questions.

I'm very glad to be able to address your concerns head on, and I'm certain that

by the end of this evening, your fears will have been allayed.

Lights, please.

Come on in.

This is the future of ecotourism. A haven for naturalists and holidaymakers

alike. The Eco Dome will put the village of Glenbogle on the map.

Never mind that. What do we get out of it?

And what about all the traffic and the mess?

I think it will be in all our interest if we let the speaker finish.

Clearly, I'm not doing all this to make a loss, but the local community will

gain as much as anyone, including an access road to alleviate traffic in the

village. Where's that going to go?

I've entered into an agreement with the lad of Glenbogle, and it'll pass across

his land.

Sticking together, eh, Archie?

The Glenbogle estate is losing more than it's gaining.

Archie, as ever, is looking after the interests of the village.

This is the interface where traditional Highland heritage meets the 21st

century.

In its first year, the Eco Dome will create 150 new jobs and bring a

considerable income to the area.

the second phase of the development.

What about the holiday village and the self -cagering apartments and the

restaurants and the gym and the swimming pools?

These are just theoretical drawings I've had made up for possible consideration

in the future. And should it even happen, all local people would be

join in the facilities.

Yeah, that's very good, but I don't think that these local people...

could afford your facilities. I've already told you we'll be creating a lot

new jobs.

Actually, that's true. Dorothy will be creating a lot of new jobs. It's just

that the bad news is that none of them are for you lot.

This is a recruitment file from a specialist company in London.

Dorothy is recruiting from London and Europe.

Well, anywhere really, except for Glenbogo.

Is this true?

Ladies and gentlemen, this is a malicious slander cast by someone who's

left my employment. Answer Duncan's point, please.

Is this true?

Well, I'll need trained, resourceful, energetic people at the beginning.

And what about the road? Is it true that we can't proceed without it?

Archie, this is neither the time nor the place to discuss this. Has there been a

grain of fruit in anything you've told me?

Ladies and gentlemen, Paul was right.

I was acting in what I thought was the best interest of us all, but in the

of this evening's revelations, it seems that I have been duped.

And though I withdraw my offer for your road to cross my land, the deal is off.

Bravo!

Well done, Duncan.

You did the right thing, Archie. Thank you very much.

He's a brave man to admit he's wrong in public.

Listen, Dunk, I'm sorry about being here.

Relationship?

Career change?

Well, it's given me a lot to think about. You know, I reckon I'm just the

shape for a dude.

So you can call off the search for the new head ranger.

I'm back.

Sorry, mate, but the position's already been taken.

Of course, if I'd known this was going to happen... No, no, I understand.

Well, you're welcome to come back and have your old room if you like. No, it's

okay.

When were you planning to tell me?

Well, you know that Jessica's the right person for the job.

Not the point, Arch.

I know.

I know.

Look, I didn't get a chance to cook because of what we... What are you doing

here?

And what's that smell?

Have a little faithy.

I don't believe this.

Where did you learn to cook like this?

It's amazing what you can learn from daytime telly.

When you've got nothing better to do.

That's fantastic.

Glad you like it.

You know the Diggle's looking through more food at the pub.

Wages and beer.

Can't be bad.

Bon appétit.
