1. I'm sorry.
—I'm hit!
Copy !req
2. I'm blind.
—Buffy!
Copy !req
3. Amber.
—Amber.
Copy !req
4. Amber...
Copy !req
5. Amber.
—Woof.
Copy !req
6. I knew this day would come.
Copy !req
7. Still, she had to go sometime.
Copy !req
8. I met this girl
when I was traveling,
Copy !req
9. whose dad had to go to war,
but he was crippled.
Copy !req
10. Because she wasn't
what her parents wanted,
Copy !req
11. not that Amber
wasn't what you wanted,
Copy !req
12. but you know she was
different, like a tomboy...
Copy !req
13. So, she stole her dad's armor
Copy !req
14. and went to war instead of him
Copy !req
15. and they won the war because of her.
Copy !req
16. That's Mulan.
—That's her name. Do you know her?
Copy !req
17. It's a Disney film.
—It's a Disney film. Yes.
Copy !req
18. Yeah. And there's a song in it...
Copy !req
19. which is about how she wants
to look in the mirror...
Copy !req
20. ♪ And see in her real reflection ♪
Copy !req
21. I think that's probably
a bit how Amber's feeling.
Copy !req
22. Like Mulan?
Copy !req
23. Yeah.
Copy !req
24. Eddie Murphy does
the voice of the dragon.
Copy !req
25. Certainly, to my mind, his third best film.
Copy !req
26. Does anyone want a drink?
Copy !req
27. Phew. Bit early for that, innit?
Copy !req
28. Yeah, go on, then.
Copy !req
29. I'm thinking, you know, more like a tea.
Copy !req
30. Are you worried about Amber?
Copy !req
31. Nah. She's got three languages
and a Dutch cap. She'll be fine. Cheers.
Copy !req
32. You are so blind!
You so do not understand!
Copy !req
33. You weren't there at the beginning.
Copy !req
34. You don't know how good it was.
How important.
Copy !req
35. This is it for you.
Copy !req
36. This jumped—up firework
display of a toy advert.
Copy !req
37. People like you make me sick.
What's wrong with you?
Copy !req
38. Now, I don't care if you've
saved up all your 50p's. OK?
Copy !req
39. Take your pocket money and get out!
Copy !req
40. What a prick.
Copy !req
41. Tim, can I have a word
with you in my office?
Copy !req
42. Yes.
Copy !req
43. Have a seat, Tim.
Copy !req
44. Twiglet?
—Better not.
Copy !req
45. I was like you once.
Copy !req
46. Blond hair. Scraggy little beard.
Copy !req
47. Child—like ears.
Copy !req
48. Full of beans and spunk.
Copy !req
49. I let my principles
get in the way sometimes.
Copy !req
50. I punched a bloke in the face once
for saying Hawk the Slayer was rubbish.
Copy !req
51. Good for you.
—Yeah, thanks.
Copy !req
52. But that's not the point.
Copy !req
53. The point is, I was defending
the fantasy genre
Copy !req
54. with terminal intensity,
Copy !req
55. when what I should have said is,
"Dad, you're right.
Copy !req
56. "Let's give Krull a try
and we'll discuss it later."
Copy !req
57. The Phantom Menace
Copy !req
58. was 18 months ago, Tim.
Copy !req
59. I know, Bilbo.
It just... It still hurts.
Copy !req
60. That kid brought in a Jar Jar doll.
Copy !req
61. Kids like Jar Jar.
—Why?!
Copy !req
62. What about the Ewoks?
Copy !req
63. They were rubbish.
You don't complain about them.
Copy !req
64. Jar Jar Binks makes the Ewoks
look like fucking Shaft.
Copy !req
65. I've had enough, Tim.
—But Bilbo...
Copy !req
66. I know how you feel, right? I really do.
But this can't go on.
Copy !req
67. What you trying to say, Bilbo?
Copy !req
68. I'm gonna have to let you go.
Copy !req
69. Phew!
Copy !req
70. I... I thought you were gonna fire me then.
Copy !req
71. I was like, ergh... Phew.
Copy !req
72. Look at that.
Copy !req
73. Right, Daisy. Off to work.
Copy !req
74. Should be back in a couple of hours.
Copy !req
75. Mike. Mike, um, have you got any money?
Copy !req
76. If you mean actual currency, no.
Copy !req
77. I was sure that I had some,
but it just seems to have gone.
Copy !req
78. Oh, well, I should, you know, get off...
Copy !req
79. You didn't sort of borrow it?
Copy !req
80. You know, go through my pockets and...
Copy !req
81. Steal it?
—I'm sorry. That sounded really bad.
Copy !req
82. Did you steal it?
—No!
Copy !req
83. Sorry. No, you're right.
Have a nice day.
Copy !req
84. Yeah, thanks.
Copy !req
85. Mike, what do you do?
I've never asked.
Copy !req
86. If I tell you that,
I'll have to kill you.
Copy !req
87. What, is it like secret?
Copy !req
88. No.
Copy !req
89. Hi, Bri.
Copy !req
90. Gone.
—What's gone?
Copy !req
91. Can't paint.
—Yes, you can. You're very good.
Copy !req
92. Mind's just blank.
Haven't painted anything in months.
Copy !req
93. I don't know what's wrong.
Copy !req
94. Maybe you should try approaching
the canvas in different ways.
Copy !req
95. I have.
Copy !req
96. How do you tackle
a creative block, Daisy?
Copy !req
97. Well, I'm actually
very, very fortunate.
Copy !req
98. Erm, I rarely suffer from writer's block.
Copy !req
99. I'm extremely prolific.
—Very lucky.
Copy !req
100. Yeah, I know.
Copy !req
101. Um, have you got any money, Brian?
Copy !req
102. It's just I've got to sign on today
and I can't afford the bus fare.
Copy !req
103. Can't you go to the bank?
Copy !req
104. Please, just a tenner?
Copy !req
105. I haven't got a bank account.
Copy !req
106. They closed it. I'm
really, really, worried.
Copy !req
107. I haven't signed on for three months
Copy !req
108. and I didn't tell them
I was going away.
Copy !req
109. I'm sure you'll be all right.
They're reasonable people.
Copy !req
110. Please! Just a tenner.
Copy !req
111. Tim?
Copy !req
112. Is everything all right?
—Yes! Why?!
Copy !req
113. No reason.
Copy !req
114. I've lost my job.
Copy !req
115. What? Why?
Copy !req
116. Not Phantom Menace.
Copy !req
117. Better go.
—All right, Bri.
Copy !req
118. Good luck with your blockage.
Oh, a letter came for you.
Copy !req
119. Thanks.
Sorry about your job, Tim.
Copy !req
120. Yeah. I'm sorry about your uncle, Brian.
Copy !req
121. Come on, mate. It's not as if
he hasn't fired you before.
Copy !req
122. He's a reasonable bloke.
Copy !req
123. I'm sure, if you talked to him
you could sort it out.
Copy !req
124. I don't think so. He's got someone in
for an interview this afternoon.
Copy !req
125. Well, one thing's for sure,
they'll be no Tim Bisley.
Copy !req
126. Well, it all seems to be in order.
When can you start?
Copy !req
127. Come on, Tim.
There'll be other jobs.
Copy !req
128. Anyway, what about your comic?
Copy !req
129. I'm sure the comic industry's
Copy !req
130. desperately in need
of a giant, mutant bird
Copy !req
131. with special claws.
Copy !req
132. You've just got to get out there.
—Yeah, well, I'm scared.
Copy !req
133. Of what?
Copy !req
134. Nothing.
Copy !req
135. Come on.
I was about to go and sign on.
Copy !req
136. Why don't you come with me?
Copy !req
137. OK.
Copy !req
138. Why don't you lend me the bus fare?
Copy !req
139. OK.
—Yeah.
Copy !req
140. You have got a very special talent,
Tim Bisley.
Copy !req
141. Sooner or later it's going
to make you a lot of money.
Copy !req
142. Yeah, thanks, Daisy. I just...
Copy !req
143. I wish I had another special
talent to fall back on.
Copy !req
144. "Dear Brian,
I hope this letter finds you well
Copy !req
145. "and that you're not finding
being a lawyer too stressful.
Copy !req
146. "Sadly, I'm writing with bad news.
Copy !req
147. "Your Uncle Kevin died
in his sleep last weekend
Copy !req
148. "whilst driving to Staines on the M4.
Copy !req
149. "We hope you can find time
in your busy schedule
Copy !req
150. "to come to the funeral,
which is next Thursday.
Copy !req
151. "Lots of love, Mum."
Copy !req
152. I'm frightened. What are you gonna say?
—I was ill and start crying.
Copy !req
153. That's you. New claims.
—Where?
Copy !req
154. There.
—Oh, yeah. OK.
Copy !req
155. Good luck.
—Yeah. You, too.
Copy !req
156. Hello.
Copy !req
157. I'm Daisy Steiner.
Copy !req
158. I had an appointment at 10:30. I'm late.
Copy !req
159. Daisy Steiner, you must take
an AB form from the stand
Copy !req
160. and then join the queue.
Copy !req
161. How long will I have to wait?
Copy !req
162. I'm sorry, I don't understand.
Just fill out the form.
Copy !req
163. How long have you been
unemployed, Mr. Bisley?
Copy !req
164. About an hour and a half.
Copy !req
165. Have you been looking for work?
Copy !req
166. That's... No.
Copy !req
167. Why did you leave your last job?
Copy !req
168. Uh, I got fired.
—Why?
Copy !req
169. A difference of opinion.
Copy !req
170. The Phantom Menace.
—Yeah.
Copy !req
171. Didn't you like it?
Copy !req
172. No.
Copy !req
173. Well, leave this with me.
Copy !req
174. I'll get you some money out
in the next few days.
Copy !req
175. Hello.
Copy !req
176. Brian, it's me.
—Hello, me.
Copy !req
177. How are you?
—Very well, thank you.
Copy !req
178. I miss you.
—Miss me, too.
Copy !req
179. Would you like to come out
for drinks later?
Copy !req
180. Yes, please.
—Then I can come and stay at yours.
Copy !req
181. I don't have to work tomorrow.
We could stay in bed all day.
Copy !req
182. So don't forget
to wash your sheets.
Copy !req
183. Right.
Copy !req
184. And your penis.
Copy !req
185. OK.
Copy !req
186. Bye.
Copy !req
187. Bye.
Copy !req
188. Ah, no. This is the Ab form.
You need the AB form, capital B.
Copy !req
189. But... What?
Copy !req
190. I've been here for over an hour.
Copy !req
191. Just over there on the stand.
Copy !req
192. Is this it?
Copy !req
193. OK. You wanna sign on again.
Copy !req
194. Yeah.
Copy !req
195. You last signed on three months ago.
Copy !req
196. What have you been doing
for the last three months?
Copy !req
197. I've been ill.
Copy !req
198. Do you have a doctor's note?
Copy !req
199. No, I lost it.
Copy !req
200. Look, this shouldn't be a problem.
Copy !req
201. I just want some money.
You've always given me money before.
Copy !req
202. Sure you haven't been
on holiday or something?
Copy !req
203. Me? God, no. I couldn't
afford that. Not on my income.
Copy !req
204. You... bastard!
—What can I say? She liked me.
Copy !req
205. What am I gonna do?
I've gotta pay the rent?
Copy !req
206. Can't you just write some articles?
Copy !req
207. It's not actually as easy as that, Tim.
I can't just pluck
Copy !req
208. another Winter Skin Care Dos
And Don'ts out of the air.
Copy !req
209. Why?
Copy !req
210. Yeah, well, maybe
poverty will inspire you.
Copy !req
211. It's not as bad as all that.
Copy !req
212. Mike's given us
a few quid every week.
Copy !req
213. But what if he wants to move out?
Copy !req
214. He doesn't at the moment.
He's happy.
Copy !req
215. It's not as if he's gonna get a better
offer by the time we get back, is it?
Copy !req
216. Eh?
Copy !req
217. Mike, d'you mind if we...
Copy !req
218. What are you doing?
Copy !req
219. Well, Marsha has kindly offered me
the position of lodger,
Copy !req
220. which I have duly accepted.
Copy !req
221. But Mike...
—No, no, no.
Copy !req
222. You've been kind enough to let me stay
but now you're back,
Copy !req
223. it's only right I should move on.
Copy !req
224. But we like having you here.
Copy !req
225. It'll be fine. I'm only upstairs.
Copy !req
226. We can see each other every day.
Copy !req
227. We'll be able to legitimately
use our walkie—talkies
Copy !req
228. without going to the park.
Copy !req
229. Ready then, Mike?
—With you in one second.
Copy !req
230. Here he is, then. My new lodger.
Copy !req
231. Just as well, hardly
ever see the other one.
Copy !req
232. Yeah, Brian's spending
a lot of time with Twist.
Copy !req
233. I mean, I hardly see her.
Copy !req
234. I sometimes hear her.
Copy !req
235. Yeah, he was up earlier on.
Copy !req
236. I think he's having
some kind of creative crisis.
Copy !req
237. Serves him right for getting
his knackers in a twist.
Copy !req
238. Come on then, Mike.
Copy !req
239. I'm looking forward to having
a big, strong bloke round the house.
Copy !req
240. Who's that?
—You, you pillock.
Copy !req
241. Oh, right.
Copy !req
242. Ooh, he's funny, isn't he?
Copy !req
243. Any thoughts?
Copy !req
244. I'll have to get new batteries
for my walkie—talkie.
Copy !req
245. No, about our situation.
Copy !req
246. We're both unemployed.
Copy !req
247. I'm getting no benefit.
We need money.
Copy !req
248. How else am I gonna afford
aspirational magazines?
Copy !req
249. I'm gonna get a job.
Copy !req
250. Why? You've just signed on.
You don't have to.
Copy !req
251. I like working, Daisy. You know? It's a...
Copy !req
252. The smell of the ink,
the taste of the biscuit.
Copy !req
253. Giving the littl'uns advice.
Copy !req
254. People like you make me sick!
Copy !req
255. Yeah, well, so do I.
I love working.
Copy !req
256. Yeah, I was a barmaid...
once and I loved it. You know.
Copy !req
257. The hustle and bustle of a busy bar.
Copy !req
258. Can I get some service, please?
Copy !req
259. Oh, fuck you.
Copy !req
260. What can I say?
We are good with people.
Copy !req
261. Absolutely.
—And that's what writers do.
Copy !req
262. They take unrelated jobs
in order to make money and...
Copy !req
263. and gain experience.
Copy !req
264. I temped in this office once
Copy !req
265. and there were some
great characters, real fodder.
Copy !req
266. There was this guy, Tony.
Copy !req
267. And he...
Copy !req
268. Oh, what did he say? It's...
Copy !req
269. Anyway, that's what I'm gonna do.
Copy !req
270. Oh, OK. Everyone does things
they don't want to do sometimes.
Copy !req
271. Mike isn't doing what he wants
but he makes the best of it.
Copy !req
272. Does he?
Copy !req
273. Move, move!
Copy !req
274. Don't look at me! Move!
Copy !req
275. Well, I am gonna go to
one of those temping places
Copy !req
276. and put my name down for a job.
Copy !req
277. That's the spirit, Daisy. New horizons.
Copy !req
278. Pastures green. Change.
—And not the small kind.
Copy !req
279. Why is that funny?
—I don't know.
Copy !req
280. You worked
in a comic shop before?
Copy !req
281. Um, yeah. The Fantasy Bazaar.
Copy !req
282. Fantasy Bazaar?
That's Bilbo Bagshot's shop, isn't it?
Copy !req
283. Yeah.
—Why'd you leave?
Copy !req
284. Difference of opinion.
Copy !req
285. Mm. Phantom Menace?
Copy !req
286. Yeah. And I wanted a change.
Copy !req
287. OK. When can you start?
Copy !req
288. I'm sorry?
Copy !req
289. When can you start?
Copy !req
290. So, what kind of work can you do?
Copy !req
291. Sorry?
Copy !req
292. What kind of work can you do?
Copy !req
293. Well, I'm creative,
Copy !req
294. but, you know, I'm at home
in the normal... office environment.
Copy !req
295. But equally comfortable, you know,
in the hustle and bustle of an eatery.
Copy !req
296. So that's anything, then?
Copy !req
297. Yes, yes, anything. Yeah. I'm desperate.
Copy !req
298. Everything all right?
—Oh, yes, thank you, Mrs. K.
Copy !req
299. Give us a shout if you need anything.
Copy !req
300. OK then.
Copy !req
301. Anything at all.
Copy !req
302. OK then.
Copy !req
303. I like to think I'm an
approachable landlady.
Copy !req
304. OK then.
Copy !req
305. That's great.
—So, anything you want...
Copy !req
306. just ask.
Copy !req
307. There a key to this lock?
Copy !req
308. Hello, Brian.
Copy !req
309. Hello.
Copy !req
310. Aren't you gonna invite me in?
Copy !req
311. Bit busy.
—Doing what?
Copy !req
312. Nice to see you've tidied up a bit.
Copy !req
313. Thanks.
Copy !req
314. Daisy was telling me
you're feeling a little dry.
Copy !req
315. Everything OK?
Copy !req
316. Mm.
—Yes?
Copy !req
317. Don't know, Marsha.
Just can't seem to get inspired.
Copy !req
318. You know, used to come so easily.
Copy !req
319. Thought I'd cracked it this morning.
Copy !req
320. Got a letter saying Uncle Kevin had died.
Copy !req
321. Next thing I knew, I was painting.
Couldn't stop, and then...
Copy !req
322. Twist called and lost it. Just went.
Copy !req
323. You know what your problem is, Brian.
Copy !req
324. What?
Copy !req
325. You're happy.
Copy !req
326. I think you'll find
Copy !req
327. you dried up the minute
you started seeing Twit.
Copy !req
328. D'you think so?
—Well, it's obvious, innit?
Copy !req
329. You cannot have your cake
and eat her, Brian.
Copy !req
330. Contentment is the enemy of invention.
Copy !req
331. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
332. Funny, innit?
Copy !req
333. You were so prolific when we was at it.
Copy !req
334. This is awful.
—Innit.
Copy !req
335. What a dilemma.
—Can't believe this.
Copy !req
336. It's so depressing, Brian.
Copy !req
337. You must be really worried.
Copy !req
338. Yes.
—Angst—ridden.
Copy !req
339. Yes.
—Inconsolable.
Copy !req
340. Yes.
Copy !req
341. Right, I'm off.
Copy !req
342. Mike's cooking beans,
Copy !req
343. then we're gonna polish his guns
and watch The A—Team. Bye.
Copy !req
344. I love it when a plan comes together.
Copy !req
345. Hello, Silent Reading.
Copy !req
346. Yes, we do stock Jar Jar Binks merchandise.
Copy !req
347. Yeah, we've got him in cuddly form,
Copy !req
348. lunch box, action figure and key ring.
Copy !req
349. No problem, bye—bye.
Copy !req
350. Well done, Tim.
Copy !req
351. You've just taken your first step
into a larger world.
Copy !req
352. All right, Derek?
Copy !req
353. Bilbo.
Copy !req
354. I was wondering
if I could have a chat with Tim.
Copy !req
355. Certainly.
Copy !req
356. I'll put some tea on.
Copy !req
357. D'you want a cup, Tim?
—Yes, please.
Copy !req
358. Huh!
Copy !req
359. He should mount his collector's editions
behind the counter in full view,
Copy !req
360. not hide 'em away at the back.
Copy !req
361. Man's insane.
Copy !req
362. What d'you wanna talk to me about, Bilbo?
Copy !req
363. So, how's it going?
Copy !req
364. Yeah, it's all right.
Copy !req
365. What's Derek like as a boss?
—He's OK.
Copy !req
366. I don't really agree with his
policy on vintage comic display.
Copy !req
367. Look, Tim, I'm sorry I sacked you.
It was a mistake.
Copy !req
368. Oh, what, things not working out
with the new guy?
Copy !req
369. You could say that.
Copy !req
370. Hawk the Slayer's rubbish.
Copy !req
371. I see.
—Will you come back?
Copy !req
