Run Fatboy Run
# Holdin' hands at midnight
'neath a starry sky #
# Nice work if you can get it #
# And you can get it
if you try #
# Strollin' with that one girl,
sighin' sigh after sigh #
# Nice work if you can get it #
# And you can get it
if you try #
# Just imagine someone
waitin' at the cottage door #
# Where two hearts become one #
- # Who could ask
for anything more? #
- Mmm!
That looks good enough to eat.
Oh, thank you.
I wasn't talking about the cake.
Oh, Gordon. You're my cousin.
Never stopped
the Royal Family.
You're a very sick man.
Mm. Hi.
- Hi.
- You're yummy.
Oh, Mum, would you take Grandma
over to the church, please?
Yes. Come on, sweetheart.
So, do you wanna go and
tell Dennis that we're ready?
Sure thing.
How's he doing?
Oh, great. Thrilled.
I'm telling you, he's thrilled.
Dennis, it's Gordon.
Are you ready?
Wow! You look great!
So, are you ready?
Um...
- Just...
- OK.
I'm gonna give you a minute
to, uh...
give you a minute.
No, no. I don't want to.
Done want to, ah...
Dennis!
It's time.
Dennis, we have to go.
Dennis!
Dennis!
# Where to promise
to love one... #
Dennis, we're gonna have a baby.
Dennis.
Dennis?
# Who could ask
for anything more? #
Aw, sh*t.
Dennis!
Dennis!
# I'm sorry, sorry, sorry
if you're gettin' me wrong #
# But you're half a world away
with only one sock on #
# Now you're gettin' too much,
I don't want to play along #
# 'Cause all I really wanted
was a radio song #
# What is there to say #
# What is there to say?
# In a world so grey? #
# In a world so grey #
# Why, oh, why, oh, why
are we singing it anyway? #
- Come on!
- # 'Cause you think I had #
- # A wind-up heart #
- Stop!
- # Then you must
have had plastic head #
- Come back!
- # Did you think
I had to play the part? #
- Give me a break!
# When you copied everything
I said? #
- # When the tide of love is out
and the rust begins to show #
- Whoo!
# You're cryin'
in your sleep #
- # If you thought
this was forever #
- Ooh!
- Oh!
- # Dear,
I'm keeping you in mind #
Gotcha. Where is it?
Where's what?
You know what I'm talkin' about!
Ooh! Hey! Hey!
Ooh!
All right!
What do you
think this is, huh?
I've never seen those
before in my life.
Yeah, and you're
a fit, running type.
You bastard.
Don't.
Little sh*t!
There's nothing to see here,
people.
Ow!
Where's the bra?
What bra?
Whoo!
Come on, fat boy, run!
I'm not fat!
I'm just... I'm unfit.
Go on, then.
Ow!
Yes?
Could you let me in, please,
Mr G?
Who the hell are you?
You... Why are we...
It's Dennis Doyle
from downstairs.
Dennis Doyle from downstairs
is dead...
killed by his landlord.
- Do you know why?
- No.
Failure to pay the rent
in a timely fashion.
Dennis!
Hey, Maya.
Listen, can you tell your dad...
I'm in a bit of a hurry?
- Have you got any money?
- Maya, go inside!
And put something on.
Hello. Hello.
Yes?
Do you know what happened
to that landlord...
from downstairs?
- No.
- They gave him a medal...
and a nice foot massage.
Hey, Mr Ghoshdashtidar.
Mr Ghoshdashtidar, wait...
Well, how is the old rascal?
I hear it's going to be a party
of special magnificence.
You know Bilbo.
He's got
Mm. Ah, well,
Jake, your dad's gonna be here
in a minute.
You ready?
Ready!
All right,
then keep your secrets.
Hey.
- # You give me tone #
- Hey.
# I'll like that #
Hey, how is it goin'?
- Oh, yeah.
- # All the chrome #
# Well, I'll like that #
Dennis. Yeah, Dennis.
# Do you run away? #
You like, uh, to have some sort
of drink with me?
Oh, what the hell. Let's...
Ow, sh*t!
Oh!
- Hah!
- Aah!
No. Oh, you got me!
- Hi.
- Hi.
- We're playing
hobbits and orcs.
- Mm-hmm.
Guess who's an orc?
Honey, would you mind, uh...
This kind of smarts. Can you?
Oh, yeah. Thank you.
I'm not finished
with you, Whit!
Yeah, one sec.
Uh, I thought his dad
was picking him up.
- What happened?
- Oh, what happened?
Dennis happened.
Mmm. Well, on the bright side...
- Hmm?
- You look astonishingly
beautiful today.
- Whit!
- Really.
Where have you been?
Hey.
- I was...
- Daddy!
Hey, snot-face!
Oh, please, don't call him that.
Why?
He is a snot-face, isn't he?
You are a snot-face,
aren't you? Huh?
Oh.
Aw!
Jake, that's disgusting.
Jake, that's disgusting.
Go on.
- Toilet first.
- Mom!
Go on. Grab your jacket.
You were supposed to be here
an hour ago, Dennis.
Yeah, there was a bit
of a mix-up with the...
with the tickets, so...
Hey, you look really nice.
Did I get you that necklace?
No. It was a...
just a present
from someone... else.
- Who?
- Uh, me, actually.
Oh, yeah.
Huh?
It belonged to my grandmother.
Yeah.
Huh?
Dennis, this is
my good friend, Whit.
Whit, this is my...
Jake's dad, Dennis.
How you doin'?
Good, yeah.
You have soft hands.
Do you moisturize?
I do, actually.
Well, it's very nice
to meet you.
It's nice to finally put a face
to the name.
I'd have probably thought
you'd have...
you would have seen
one of our photos.
Oh, there aren't any.
- Hmm.
- Ready?
Yes. Let's go.
- Have fun.
- Yeah.
Dennis, you do have
the tickets, right?
Libby, credit me
with some intelligence.
Tickets!
Does anybody have any tickets?
Mate, my daughter's
not very well.
I've got a couple of
spare tickets if you want 'em.
Yes. Thank you so much.
How much?
Oh, whatever.
Uh, this is
all the money I have.
Yeah?
My son is gonna love me.
You want your son to love you?
Don't break the law.
Hey, that's entrapment!
Oh, God!
And that's brutality!
Libby, it's...
It was only a caution.
No. Uh, Libby, I'll...
- Bye, Dad.
- Libby.
So, do you work with Libby
at the bakery?
No.
We met at the bakery, though.
- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.
What?
No, I just was
It took me
four chocolate eclairs...
and a macaroon just to get up
the courage to talk to her.
Uh, no, I work in
the financial district actually.
I'm a hedge fund manager
for Waterman Hughes.
Oh.
I do high-level security
analysis and operation...
Really?
Libby said
you were a security guard...
at a women's clothing store.
Yeah, that's what I said.
Right.
Uh, well, l...
I got a big run in the morning.
A big what?
A run... I'm training for
the Nike River Run next month.
The what-y what what?
The Nike River Run.
It's a... It's a marathon race
along the, uh, Thames River.
Why would you do that?
Uh, well, it's
a charity thing, you know?
Plus, I love to run.
I actually ran the London
Oh, that's a coincidence.
Oh, yeah? How's that?
I watched it on the television.
- Ah.
- Well, the last hour.
I sleep in on a Sunday, so...
Right.
Um, well, look, you know...
pretty awkward, you know?
I mean, you know,
