- I'm only doing my best.

- I know, come on.

Don't burn me.

Keep your fingers back.

What's that? Wait a minute.

No, it's not.

- You keep looking for it.

- All right.

Mike, keep looking for it.

Keep quiet for God's sake.

Could you keep quiet?

Keep quiet, it's all right,

he'll go away.

Shh!

All right. All right. All right.

- All right.

- He'll go away.

Take it up there and put

some more snow in.

Sue, are you there?

What the hell are you doing there?

I was knocking at the door.

Didn't you hear me?

Why didn't you answer me? Hmm?

I'm sorry. I didn't hear you.

What have you done to my car?

You've punctured two tyres.

I can't even remember when

I punctured one.

Give me the key!

Give me my cap.

Give me the keys.

- I'm awfully sorry.

- Well, give me the cap, come on.

I'm awfully sorry, I don't know where

they are. Have you got a spare set?

But I gave them to you.

I said I'm sorry. I don't know

what I've done with them, that's all.

Come on, give me the cap.

Oh, your bloody cap.

Right, now, listen. Get your coat

and your bag and come here.

Serves me right. Seeing stupid kids.

Hurry up.

Hurry up!

Come on, come on, get a move on.

No, I won't.

Susan, what's wrong with you?

Will you stop ordering me about?

That's all.

But I must have my keys.

Have you got a spare set of keys

or haven't you?

- Yes, I've got a set.

- Where are they?

They're at home. I can't go home

and ask my wife for the keys.

Not this time of night.

I can't go out again.

That's your problem, isn't it?

If you've got a spare set of keys,

you're all right. So you can piss off.

"Piss off"?

After all that I have done for you?

- "Piss off"?

- After what...

After what you've done for me?

After what... What...

I'll tell you what you've done for me.

You've spoiled everything. Everything!

Why the hell you had to be the first?

I'll tell you why.

Because you have to be the first

with everyone, don't you?

You couldn't bear to be second,

then they'll have something

to compare you to.

Then they'll see how bloody

hopeless you are!

That's why you're so pinky

for schoolgirls.

They don't know any better, do they?

Poor little things.

They think you're really quite good,

don't they?

Think it's quite exciting

the way you grope and push

and you're so bloody hopeless!

You make me sick!

What do you think

you've ever done for anyone?

You're pathetic. You're pathetic!

How you ever make it with your wife,

I don't know. If you ever do.

What about those children?

You sure they're yours?

Piss off! Piss off!

Bastard!

Poof!

Susan, this is the end.

What you undoing that one for?

We've got all this to do yet.

But I thought we could do this one...

Come on. Let's do one at a time,

for God's sake.

- All right.

- How annoying.

I'm sick of being ordered about.

Oh, God, I'm dropping bits now.

All right.

Come on, let's turn it on

and get this melted.

Bring those down with you.

Hey, what if you have swallowed it?

I told you, Sue, I haven't swallowed it.

- You sure? Come on.

- Yeah.

- God, I'm so hungry.

- I'm not.

Come on.

This is going to take hours, isn't it?

I think I'll phone Chris,

tell him I'm gonna be late.

I think I'll phone Chris,

tell him I'll be late.

Chris? Hello, darling. It's me.

I'm gonna be a bit late. There's been

an accident here at the baths.

Oh, it's nothing serious,

it's a burst pipe.

Well, how do you expect me to feel?

I'm furious.

Because I live near here

and the manager's away.

Well, I shall have to stay

till they finish.

Don't you believe me?

Well, that's great. That's great.

That's all I needed to hear.

I expected a bit of sympathy, but...

I'm ringing from the manager's office.

You can ring me back and check

if you don't believe me.

Right. No, I'm not saying

I'll definitely be late,

I just might be.

There's four of them hard at work.

You can hear. Listen.

Mike, what are you doing?

I wasn't on the phone long.

Couldn't you work without me?

Mike, what is it? Are you ill?

Oh, Mike, come on, let's get on with it.

I know you're tired, but come on.

Mike, what's the matter?

What are you doing?

Did you find it?

Mike, did you find it?

Where is it?

Oh, Mike, come on, don't mess about.

You've found it, haven't you?

Where is it?

Mike, where is it?

Give it to me.

Come on, give it to me. Where is it?

Don't swallow it. Give it to me.

Give it to me now, Mike. Come on.

Don't swallow...

It's all right, Mike. It's all right.

Oh, Mummy.

Chris?

Hello, darling. Guess what?

They've just finished.

Yes, so I won't be late.

I've just got to get dressed

and then I'll...

I've got to get my coat on.

Yeah. Me too. Very much.

Sue, please. Please don't go, Sue.

- Please, I...

- It's all right.

Please, I just want to

talk to you about it.

No, Mike, I've got to go, honestly.

Look, Sue, you can't just

change like that...

After being like that

and just go like that.

- Mike, take it easy.

- Sue, please,

just stay and talk to me about it.

Mike, just leave it, I'm going home.

- Sue, please.

- Oh, stop going on about it, Mike.

Sue, I don't want you to leave.

- Susan.

- Mike, let me go.

- Explain it to me.

- Everything's going to get wet, Mike.

Come on, let's get ourselves out.

That's all you care about,

your bloody diamond.

Yes, it is. Come on, give it back to me.

I want to have a little time

to stay here and explain to me.

- Just tell me what I've done...

- Come on, Mike.

- Sue, just please...

- Come on, give it back.

Stay here, Susan.

That's all I want you to do.

No, no, no!

Was it different with the teacher, Sue?

What about...

What about your fianc, Sue?

Tell me, Sue, you've got to tell me now!

Just give it to me.

- Don't leave, Sue!

- Give it back!

Please?
