1 - You all right, Grandma? - Thank you, dolly.
Yes, they certainly gave it a good style.
- Please keep talking about your hair.
- Until we die.
I must admit, I do like a curl.
I've just died.
To be honest, Andre is so good with his hands, I let him do whatever he wants to me.
- And that's why she's now pregnant.
- What? We're home now, Grandma.
Hello? Oh, hello, bambinos.

I think you'd look very pretty.
Aw, wouldn't he? Ow! Now, let me show you what they did.
- Really? - Um, I think we've done hair now.
- Yeah.

- Examining herself.
- What? - And what's with Dad and his calculator? - Oh, that bloody thing.
He won't stop playing with it.
A calculator? Last night he worked out how many times he goes to the loo in a month.
Excellent, how many? You really don't want to know the answer.
Hmm.
Adam, can you remember something for me? - What? - 26,243.
OK, and Instantly forgotten.
- Hello? Jackie! - There you are! - You all right, Mum? - Yes.
- These are for you.
- Oh, they're gorgeous! Yes, they were very reasonable, because they were old.
Right.
- Do you like my new style? - It's lovely, Mum, come through.
I mean, who needs computer games when you've got one of these? - Did you have your hair done? - I did, actually.
I think you should change hairdressers.

- Gin and tonic? - No.
- Oh, no, that's for when you're - Depressed.

Your humble servant.
Oh.
- Ow! - Boys.
What's the occasion? - I'm just very happy at the moment.
- Are you? Yes, I am.
Martin, isn't life wonderful? Well, not really.
Did you read about that man who beheaded all those horses? Terrible.
Your ladyship.
- Done it! - Done what? My calculation.
- It's not toilet maths again, is it? - No, it's not toilet maths.
Listen to this, did you know that your mother and I have known each other for exactly 13,746,640 minutes? - You know, I did not know that.
- Nor I.
Oh, how sweet.
Very sweet.
But we've only been physically intimate with each other for Please don't work that one out.
Carry on, Mum Yes, well I've sort of got something to tell you all really.
- OK.
- Definitely pregnant.
It's quite big.
What is it? I'm in love! - Martin! - Sorry.
- In love? - With a man.
A tramp.
Wow, that's, that's Great, Mum, really.
You, you deserve to be happy.
Thank you, dolly.
Yeah, especially after that horrible man you brought round.
- You mean Lou? Lou Morris? - Yes, Mr Morris.
- God, Mr Morris.
- The angriest man in the world.
Now, he was a bleeding loony! - He was not a loony.
- Well, he drove into the front door.
Chased me round the bloody house.
With his tits hanging out.
Jon-Jon! Tell them, Jackie.
Mum, he was still married when he was seeing you.
Actually, his wife died not long ago.
She was 94.
Poison was it? Sorry, Mum.
But the good thing is that now you've found someone you really like.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Who is he? Well, actually, I invited him round for dinner.
- Ugh.
- Really? - Yes.
- So who is this chap, then? Mr Morris.
Oh, yes, it really is wonderful to be back in your delightful home with your equally delightful family.
Ooo! - Well, it's - Hideous.
- Lovely to see you, too.
- Oh, and, uh I brought you a little something.
Condoms.
- Here.
- What is it? It's a photo of me as a youth.
- Isn't it wonderful? - Yes.
You see, I was a very good-looking young man.
Much more good-looking than those two.
Eurgh.
- Thank you.
- Yes, thank you.
- Lovely, I'll put it - In the incinerator.
Try it on the mantlepiece.
OK on the mantelpiece.
It looks really good up there.
Yes, I was a handsome man.
A real Beau Brummell, I was.
What was I, Nelly? A real Beau Brummell.
You see these men on TV these days calling themselves Beau Brummells.
- Do you? - Yes.
They're not Beau Brummells.
They don't deserve to be called Beau Brummells, do they? Um, Nelly told us the sad news about your wife.
She died.
- We are sorry.
- Yeah.
Well, what can you do? It happens to all of us.
I mean, your boys'll be dead in - Him, 60 years.
- Good to know.
- Him, 65 years.
- I win.
You're wrong.
You can never win against death.
Well, cheers, everyone! - Lou - What? - That thing - Oh, yeah.
I would like to formally apologise to the entire Goodman family for the I can't read your bloody writing.
Oh, yeah.
Really awful behaviour I exhibited when I last came to your lovely house.
Done.
Isn't that nice of Lou? Very moving.
I don't remember what I did, but I hear it wasn't appreciated.
- You called us a "bunch of penises".
- Martin.
I called you a "bunch of penises"? Well, I should wash my mouth out with soap and water.
Um, the bathroom's just down there.
But thank God I'm a completely changed man and it's all thanks to your wonderful grandmother.
Look.
Oh.
Raw passion that is.
- I'm gonna find some new batteries.
- I think we've run out.
Excuse me everyone, I must spend a penny.
Of course, my darling.
Oh, what a body.
Um, one moment.
- This way, Mum.
- Jackie? OK, what is going on? What? Mum, he's still a nutjob.
A nutjob? No, Jackie, he's changed.
Into a bigger nutjob.
Oh, it's just a bit of fun.
Just a bit of fun? You're 80, Mum.
80! Look, I've got everything under control.
Including his temper? Yes.
Whenever Lou gets angry now, he just shuts himself in the car and screams.
He screams in the car.
Jacqueline, you should be happy for me.
- I'm a sexually satisfied woman.
- OK.
Come on.
What's happening? All I said was I didn't really like coffee.
What? It's just a bit of fun.
Ah, yes, very tasty, my dear.
Thank you.
Although, not as tasty as your mother.
Oh, God.
So, I never got to ask How long have you two been back together? - Oh, not too long.
- Six months.
Six months? - You never said it was - Yes, six months.
Yes, six months.
Six, erotic months.

- Nor do I.
Oh, I'll have some.
I love scraps.
Dad! Yes, six months.
Doesn't time fly? Not at the moment.
Of course, you know what it's all about these days, don't you? - What's that? - Everything, what it's all about.
- Um - You, have a guess.
You want me to have a guess what everything's all about? - Oh, go on.
