  • - That bad, huh? - (Sighs)

  • (♪ Getting to know you)

  • (Sobs) I can't do this any more!

  • Now... whoa, there, Pickle.

  • Every morning I wake up and it's the same.

  • (Sobs) I buy the paper and I circle them all and I phone them,

  • only to discover they've been taken by a bunch of fucking psychic house-hunters!

  • - You've only looked at a few. - They've all been cold, infested rat holes.

  • I'm in the same boat, you don't see me cry... (Sobs)

  • (Both sob alternately)

  • Hang on... I didn't see that one.

  • "Spacious two-bedroom apartment, fully furnished, £90 a week."

  • - Oh, “professional couple only". - (Sobs loudly)

  • Why?! Why?! Why?!

  • - You could always pretend. - What do you mean?

  • Well, have you got any homeless male friends?

  • (Clears throat)

  • Well, I do have one homeless male friend.

  • (Laughs nervously)

  • Who?

  • OK. You were born in Highgate to John and Gillian Bisley on 17th September, 1974.

  • Right.

  • Your little sister Katie once used all your Batman comics to decorate a cardboard car.

  • Unable to salvage the comics, you drove the car into a pond,

  • - You're not a sci-fi nerd? - No!

  • (Aliens giggle)

  • Right. Your preferred mode of transport is skateboarding.

  • You like music and regularly masturbate over pictures of Gillian Anderson.

  • - Who told you that? - It was a joke!

  • FHM voted her sexiest woman in the world in '96.

  • - What about you? - I wasn't placed.

  • You recently split up with your girlfriend who got off with your friend Duane.

  • He is not my friend!

  • Well, we don't need to talk about that. We can if you want, it obviously hit you hard.

  • No

  • You prefer a tight-legged cotton pant as opposed to the boxer.

  • - Is all this necessary? - What if we're asked personal questions?

  • We're supposed to be a couple. Do me.

  • OK. You were born in Richmond in 1975 to Ben and Emily Steiner.

  • You have a brother and a sister, older and younger respectively.

  • - You graduated from Kingston Poly... - University.

  • Whatever, in 1996 with a degree in humanities for which you got a third.

  • Michelle from EastEnders got a third.

  • Anyway it's not the grade that matters, it's being there that counts.

  • We won't mention him. You want to be a journalist but you haven't quite tried that yet.

  • You're scared of mice and spiders

  • but fear they will crossbreed to form an all-powerful race of mice-spiders

  • - I never said that. - It'd be good, though.

  • That's it.

  • - By the way, my name's Daisy. - I'm Tim, hi.

  • Hey! What's that for?

  • We could do that thing like in that film with Andie MacDowell andrard Depardieu -

  • where they get married so he can get an American work permit.

  • A green card?

  • - Yeah. What's it called? - I don't know.

  • That should do it.

  • (Whispers) Five eight three - this is it. Five eight three, five eight three.

  • - Five eight three, five eight three... - Five eight three, five eight three...

  • (Buzzer)

  • - I forgot what you had for your fifth birthday. - Er, miniature drum kit.

  • - (Sighs) - Hey! Hey!

  • - I don't want to seem too pushy. - All right.

  • - (Buzzer) - Come on!

  • Hello. I'm Marsha.

  • - Hi. Er, we're a... - A couple. (Laughs)

  • Oh, yeah, it's really nice.

  • Yeah, it's a great flat.

  • Tim got a miniature drum kit for his fifth birthday.

  • (Both laugh)

  • - Yes, perfect for a child. - Very, er...

  • - Homy. - Homy, yeah, homy. It's very homy.

  • - Oh, yeah, we're very, very busy. - Yeah. Phew!

  • - We're so busy! We don't stop. - I don't sleep. Ever.

  • That's an exaggeration but we are very busy.

  • So, how long you been together?

  • (Both) Five years, eight months, three days.

  • Welll,.......

  • you can move in when you're ready.

  • - Really? - Yep.

  • Don't you wanna... see our photos?

  • Yeah... (Laughs nervously)

  • Come 'ere, you!

  • Right. That's it, guys, I'm off.

  • I'm outta here!

  • I'll probably give you a call about bills and stuff.

  • Ooh! We haven't got a phone, so...

  • Well, that's it, I'm off, I'm going. Bye.

  • Bye! Bye! Bye!

  • Bye! Bye! Bye!

  • Sir!

  • It's yours.

  • - Daisy? - Yeah.

  • - Who's Daisy? - The girl I'm moving in with.

  • What do you mean? When did you meet her?

  • - About two weeks ago. - And you're about to move in with her?

  • Yeah. You've got no right to be upset.

  • You're the one that ended this, you're the one seeing someone else.

  • I've got to get on with my life. I'm sorry if that upsets you, it's the way it is.

  • You can't dangle the bogus carrot of possible reconciliation in front of me

  • whilst riding some other donkey. You know?

  • I'm moving on, Sarah. If you don't like that, that's too bad.

  • - Do you love her? - What?

  • Do you love her?

  • No, of course I don't love her, I love you! Nobody could ever love you as much as I do.

  • OK.

  • (Dutch accent) Hey! Crazy-looking naked girl with no nipples, what are you doin' here?!

  • Cover yourself up, love. Come on, cover yourself up.

  • - Tim?

  • (Heartbeat)

  • Tim?

  • (Screams)

  • Argh! Oh!

  • - What are you doing? - Hi, Tim... Oh!

  • I was just cleaning and, erm...

  • Did you see the... Cos I changed the table... Anyway... You don't like it, do you?

  • I heard a noise and I thought it was you cos I was talking to myself...

  • BT called and we've been connected. So, do you want a tea?

  • You know, I like this room, it's lovely. I like the... I like what you've done.

  • Do you want a cup of tea?

  • - What noise? - I heard a noise, I thought I'd have a look.

  • - Yeah, so... Did I tell you about BT? - Yeah, we've been connected.

  • - I was just investigating. - Playing Scooby Doo?

  • Yeah. I was always Daphne when I was little. Who were you?

  • Freddy, obviously.

  • Freddy. Yeah. Now look at us.

  • (♪ Ghostly chords)

  • This guy's called the Bear, he's like a mutant.

  • He's essentially a nice guy but he's driven to violence by the society he inhabits.

  • - Right. Who's that, then? - That's Doktor Mandrake.

  • - Doctor Mandrake. - Dok-tor Mandrake, it's got a K in it.

  • He's a mad scientist. He invented this steroid called oxypheromalkahyde.

  • He tested it on this orphan kid but it didn't work, did it?

  • So he chucked out his research, chucked the kid out onto the street,

  • but when the kid reached puberty,

  • The dormant oxypheromalkahyde interrupted DNA coding and he mutated into the Bear.

  • Doktor Mandrake has dedicated his life to capturing the Bear

  • to rediscover the effects of oxypheromalkahyde.

  • So, why didn't the doctor just make the oxypoxydrin again?

  • Well... because he'd invented it by accident, didn't he?

  • These mutants are mistakes he's made as he's tried to recreate the serum.

  • - Like, see, that guy's got a really big head. - Oh.

  • - So, do you like my comic? - Yeah. Yeah.

  • That reminds me, I was talking to Marsha about the rubbish.

  • There's a door that opens onto the back yard, so we have to take it to the basement.

  • I'll take those bin bags out, then, shall I?

  • - Do you want another cup of tea? - No, thanks. Twelve's my limit.

  • (Door creaks)

  • Hello?

  • Hello?

  • Hello.

  • - Daisy, this is Brian. - Oh, hi! Do you rent downstairs?

  • - Do you mean am I gay? - What?

  • Do you mean am I gay?

  • No, no, I meant are you renting the downstairs flat?

  • Oh, right. Yep, sort of.

  • - Are you gay? - What?

  • - Are you gay? - No.

  • All right.

  • Would you like a glass of wine or something?

  • Yeah, I can't stay long.

  • And he invited me back to stay with his family in Istanbul and I didn't like to say no.

  • But his sisters kept me in the house all day.

  • They made me eat green eggs and watch Turkish television.

  • So I had to escape through the window in the small toilet.

  • Hopefully, I'll get some publishers interested.

  • - What do you do, Brian? - An artist.

  • I'm an artist.

  • - Oh! What kind of thing do you do? - Anger.

  • - (♪ Hardcore punk) - Aarrgghh!

  • Pain

  • - (♪ Screechy violins) - Ow!

  • Fear,

  • - (♪ Eerie chimes) - (Chatters) Ohh.

  • Agression.

  • (Ticking)

  • - Watercolours or...? - It's a bit more complex than that.

  • - Tim does cartoons. - It's a little bit more complex than that.

  • Processing concept into substance and trying to create a string of independent forms.

  • Like sausages?

  • I see contemporary art as a dirty plate heaped with worthless junk food

  • And I want something more nourishing.

  • Like sausages?

  • (Door slams)

  • (Voices above)

  • (Footsteps on stairs)

  • - What's that? - (Door slams and car starts)

  • - That's... Amber, Marsha's daughter. - (Knock on door)

  • Marsha.

  • Don't ask her if she wants to talk about it.

  • It was the fucking dog.

  • It was like the dog was some kind of replacement.

  • He used to let her sleep in the bed, actually in the bed.

  • Sometimes I used to wonder.

  • Anyway, eventually I had to say "It is the dog or me.“

  • - (Tim snores) - And he chose the dog.

  • Bitch

  • - (Phone rings) - Ahh! Sarah!

  • - Sarah? - Sarah! I'm here.

  • I'm here, it's OK. His pet name for me.

  • Hm. Where does that come from?

  • My ex-girlfriend.

  • Hello?

  • - It's me, Richard. - Oh, hello.

  • I got your phone number from your mum. How's it going?

  • Oh, it's fine, you know, good, thanks.

  • - What's the flat like? - Erm, very nice.

  • Cool. Listen, I've been thinking, wondering about that Tim guy you've moved in with.

  • Yes!

  • (Whispers) Look, I can't really talk now. There's some people here. OK?

  • Ok, OK.

  • - (American accent) I love you, Daisy Duke! - I love you, too, Boss Hogg.

  • - I can't hear you! - I love you, too, Boss Hogg.

  • - Bye. - 'Bye.

  • (Daisy sighs)

  • That was, er... Boss Hogg.

  • - How long have you been together? - (Both) Five years, eight months, three days.

  • That's what you said two days ago.

  • Shit!

  • It's at times like this I wish I was telepathic. Don't you, Tim?

  • Oh, damn!

  • - Daisy and me have two anniversaries. - OK.

  • Daisy takes it from when we kissed,

  • I take it from the first time we were physically intimate.

  • - Oh, that's sweet! - (Laugh nervously)

  • Whose is it today?

  • - It's Daisy's. - Mine.

  • Sou you had sex before you kissed?

  • Shit!

  • - Yeah. - Yeah.

  • Happy anniversary.

  • Well, good night.

  • Are you gonna keep the table here? Cos I always think it works better by the window.

  • It's up to you though, innit? It's your flat now.

  • Yes!

  • - Night, Brian. - Night.

  • - Are you and Mar - Sh!

  • (Footsteps on stairs)

  • Night. Thanks, see you later.

  • That was close.

  • You're telling me.

  • Well... didn't get much unpacking done, did we?

  • No.

  • - Ooh! Well... - Well! (Laughs nervously)

  • - Well, well, well. - Well, well, well, well, well.

  • - Good night. - Oh, OK. Night.

  • - Off to beddy-byes. - Yeah. (Laughs)

  • - Well done to that. - (Yawns loudly)

  • - I'm knackered. - Me too.

  • - So, good night. - Good night.

  • (Both laugh nervously)

  • - OK. Night. - OK, well... You... Good night.

Why? I don't understand. Is it something I've done'?
