If you don't get the money back, I will tell Bernadette.
Can I borrow £30 for a couple of weeks?
I'm never a happy man if my money's late.

'And then she never turned up.'
She married, right? - Yes, but, er...
But nothing.

I'm going to make sure we three are never parted again.

I'm working all these hours just so I can give you
the Cinderella wedding that I did promise you. Remember?
So, if you don't go, why should I?
Because we are sisters, and we on a family day out,

Aston, I want you to put in your Pardner money before I get home.
I'm going to book the children's fares
