And I got you .

- Bombay mix.
Ta.
- I know it's your favourite.

Because tonight, you're gonna have a surprise party.

Well, it is me birthday.
See ya tonight, then.
Yeah.
Cheers, Bri.
- Not Brian, please.
- How can you have a party without Brian? By excluding Brian.
He's too gay for special occasions.
Hiya, Sangita, it's Nicki.
Yeah, we're gonna have a party for Moz from around ten.
Oh, no, don't worry about a present.
All right, then.
I'll see you then.
Look, Nicki.
I don't want a party.
I do want presents.
Do the math.
- You don't want presents.
- I do.
Presents are more than just objects, y'know.
They're tokens oftrue friendship.
- We haven't got room for more things.
- We could sell 'em.
I see Mrs Slocombe's got a present.
Aww.
Well, it's her birthday an' all.
And I just couldn't resist, could I? Puts the Bombay mix into perspective, don't it? Oh, just shut up and look forward to your party.
- Party? No one told me.
- I'm telling you about it now.
No, I'm overhearing about it now.
What if I wanted to invite friends? - (BOTH) You haven't got any friends.
- What about me music-biz mates? Go on, then, Pete Waterman, invite 'em.
- They wouldn't be seen dead here.
- You'll be seen dead here soon.
Gis a break.
I got you a card.
I'm touched.
You don't normally put yourself out.
Erhappy birthday, Moz.
I bring gift for you.
Oh, right.

Troy, chicken.
Troy! I live in the airing cupboard.
Ah, cupboard.
This quality chrysanthemum.
Blimey, there's enough of it.
It's your birthday, eat one.
Go on.
It'd be rude not to.
- Anybody want to help me out? - No fear.
- Oh, no, II'm on a diet.

I not like it.
For a jellied flower, it looks remarkablyedible.
Ah, yes.

Yummy.
Don't be so rude.
Put it back and eat it properly.

It's me birthday.
Oh, happy birthday.
How old are you? Not that old, really.
Youngish, in the general scheme of things.
- 30? - Yeah.
So, how's life with Mr Squeegee, then? What, Leo? We split up.
He didn't have enough time for me.
Too focused on his career.
His career? He's a window-cleaner.
He hasn't even got his own ladder.
He's got a rented ladder.
- You're well shot of 'im.
- Yeah.
I met this new guy last night.
Tyrone.
- Right, and what's Tyrone like? - He's a right bastard.
We split up this morning.
China, that's not a relationship.
That's bed and breakfast.
Face it.
You've got a bloke-a-day habit.
You treat boyfriends like refills.
- Where's the love? - I know.
I get blasted and I can't control myself.
I'm having a party tonight, if you fancygetting blasted.
You'll come? Wouldn't be worth celebrating without you.
Aww.
