Wow, wow, wow, careful, George, you don't wanna tip them out too quickly. / Grandad? / Now, that'd be enough. .... What? / can you go to heaven / have / soul / But you have got one. / Do guinea-pigs have souls? / possibly. I couldn't say for certain they haven't. / if / soul / will be waiting for me / heaven / will he? / What do you think, grandad? / I think we need to go inside and get you some breakfast. Come on, George.

There we go. / Don't shut the van, Darrel. I found this. / Do you mind if I take that? / Why should I mind? / I've left you the other pair. You will / properly, won't you? / Darrel? / Look, / anything inside / I / easily bring it over. / There is nothing left. / good-bye / Ana this morning / she was late for / you can phone her tonight. And / tomorrow. She said / come round / after work / see / every day though, is it?

Tring? Well, I never. Zebedee was a miserable / so and so / Jennifer's hoping she can extract a donation from him for the organ fund. / Well, I wish / deep pocket / closer / fork out. / Borsetshire Life / they wouldn't miss the odd thousand. / Indeed. / Ain't you got / influence / No / never did. / morning, Jim / just gone / application form in the post, Jim / I wanted six copies of the church's accounts / envelope / so fat / needed / extra postage / trust / grant towards / church organ / we were just talking about that. / nothing so far / applied for. / Oh, dear. / Well, wish you luck / I can think of / better uses for 30 thousand pounds / I've got Keira in the car / Tracy's / Peggy / works / for Emma. / Oh, me too / some / I'll see you. / Bye. / Bye. / Jennifer told me yesterday, you are advising the darts team on their flower arrangement of St. Sebastian. / Yeah, on top of doing me own. I / away / too much / I suppose you've never seen / Derek G...'s / infamous film about St. Sebastian. / Oh. Do you think it might give us some ideas? / Yes, but not ones pertinent to Flower Festival. Anyway, it's all in Latin. / Oh, I can't stand subtitles. I never know where to look. / I think / rivetted / action, not the dialogue / in that particular film.  / not a problem / B... and G... . / In fact, Christine's arrangement for Grange Spinney / pure white, apparently. / White? / believe. Lilies, primarily. / all white, though,  / surely / I thought / Virgin Mary / wore blue. / wearing / Flower Festival / not at this stage / planning anyway. Immacurate white to symbolize her chastity. / Oh, oh, I see.

only took up / cut the grass, Darrel. It looks dreadful. / Yeah, OK, I will. I'll borrow / next / Thank you. / Look, are you sure this is what you want, love? / It's hard for me, too. / Then why can't we just .... / Oh, no, no, we can't go back. / Well, I could change. / Please / We've been over this, Darrel. It's too late. / I'm sorry. / I know. / I still love you. / Oh, hello, Neil. / Ah, all right? / And little Keira. Oh, she's an angel. / Elona is off now. / Oh, oh I see. / Well, uh, well, I'm just taking this little one to Tracy's. Emma starts work for Peggy today. / Oh, she's lucky. .... Oh, tell her, please, / Peggy / hot milk / in her coffee, not cold / right / Elona / I'm sorry. I miss her much. And you too, Neil. You've been a wonderful friend to us. / Yeah, yeah you are / I don't know / Yes. / you take care, and, um,  / I hope / best for the future. I hope everything works out for you. / thank you. / come on, then, Keira. Let's go, shall we? / Bye, Neil. / buy you a pint / lunchtime / if you are free, Darrel. / Oh great. Cheers / about o'clock then? / Smashing. / Oh, that's nice. / Yeah. / well, I'd better go. / I'm sorry. / Oh, don't say that. Sorry, can't change what's happened. / No. / Look, I'll, uh, speak to the girls tonight. You / tell them, eh? / OK. / M... / Well, that's it then.

When you realize you wanna spend the rest of your life with someone, you / rest of your life to start straight away, don' you? / Elona / felt anyway. / Yeah. / hang about / sure / gave me a second look / she / nearly down to a waste. / Really? / make / some manners / she said, "You English are so polite." / small reserve, really / plenty of work / kids came along / girls / they are lovely girls. / Thank you. At least / Rosa / grow / but / Ana / Look, you've had a run of bad luck, that's all. / No, Neil / my own stupidity / no one / get involved / Des and dog fight / dodgy goods in the past, did I? / now I've lost her, and now / precious girls / not for good you haven't. / Just / forget about me. / Only if you let her, Darrel. / she always takes her mom's side. I think / ashamed in me, same as Elona. / all the more reason to keep up the relationship / Would you reckon? / Yeah, of course. / see / Mike / two more weeks before the lease is up. And then what? I can't / in Ambridge / work for me here. / you've got your phone, Darrel, and you know where they are. / lose touch if you are careless. / I suppose. / Anyway, I should be going. / Already? / Sorry, I've got to get back. / OK / I'll stay and finish this one. / Look, I'll be in touch, eh, Darrel, soon. / that mate. / Here you are. / Ta. / On me. / Oh are you sure? / looked / you really need it. / I do. / See you, Clarrie, Nic. / Bye. / Bye Neil. / So, what's up? / What's up is Grange Spinney are using white lilies / their arrangement / all / are white as well. / Well, it's the Virgin Mary, I suppose. / Yes, I do know that. Jim said he / Chrisitine, they could / add some lady's bedstraw to their display. / what color is that? / yellow / but she / not having any of it. / No. / well, in that case, / What? / well, maybe we should be the one to give in. / Give in? / Yeah. Change our ideas for St. Briidget. / Change them? How? / introduce / color / our display / Color? oh no, no way. / Only a s... of,.... orange, maybe. / Orange? / Yeah, just / different from theirs. / all pictured in my head. I've spent ages thinking it through, all the symbolism and everything. / I know. / display / creamy white. St. Bridget / patron saint / not orange squash. / only suggestion / new lambs and all / not / newl ambs with blue dye sprayed on them / before you suggest that / I wasn't going to / Good. / See you ladies / bye / Oh, poor Darrel. / We can't / with identical displays / a disaster. A sea of white and cream / the public / copy / Grange Spinney / But they might look very different. Look. This is all just speculation / Jim / no, they aren't / Jim's a fancy man, ain't he? / Oh, Clarrie. / They do / crossword / over breakfast. What does that tell you? / well, I think / need to establish the facts rather than jump to conclusions. / we / establish the facts, exactly / I can't very well / ask / what they are planning. / Oh why not? / Oh, you've got a lot to learn about village politics, Nic. / all I'm saying is, we might be worrying about nothing. The G...-and- Sp...'s Virgin Mary could still be in development. They might've even thrown out / white / plan by now. / I don't know. But you are right about one thing: Knowledge is power. We need / if we can keep up with what Christine is planning, we can try and vary our design, so ours'll stand / over / still using all white flowers? / You bet. / why should we / ones to adapt / display / I don't know. We thought / G... and S... thought theirs.
