00:04:54 Laurence!
00:09:02 - Like lager, Tony? - I'm OK with Bacardi, thanks.
00:13:04 - You didn't really, did you? - No.
00:17:00 No, I'd like to learn, but Tony won't let me. He doesn't think I'd be any good.
00:20:59 I'm so pleased to meet you.
00:25:01 I saw a couple of people arriving.
00:29:25 Oh, that's given you time to sort of get used to it, hasn't it?
00:32:59 I think people take divorce for granted.
00:37:03 - Leave it out, Ange. - It's all right, she wasn't in any pain.
00:41:22 Thank you.
00:45:58 - Not at all. - No, don't make excuses for him.
00:49:58 - Tone? Do you like Demis Roussos? - Yeah, he's all right.

01:02:01 - Mind you, if Tony wasn't around, I'd miss him. - Would you?

01:26:19 Oh, you do. That's good. That's fine.
01:31:04 - Laurence, come on. - No, leave him.
01:35:21 Tony, where's that ambulance?
22:00:21 - Really, Ange?
