We look forward to welcoming you aboard. / Uh, Ray, excuse me, I need to check something with you. / Lynda. Just the person. / Sorry? / Couldn't wait to show you my poster. Here, take a look. / Oh. / I wanted it to be the first thing our guest notice when they come through the doors / they certainly couldn't miss it. / I've invented the most marvelous cocktail. / "Get in the mood with our Paradise Sunrise" ? / it's a real show-stopper. Pinapple, ram, and then, my secret ingredients known only to a few o___. / Right / anyway / up for it. / Bill A___, the chap I was talking to just now. / Oh, Colonel A__. He did seem / rather / hurry, didn't he? / what do you think? It's quite a work art, isn't it? / double / the colors are rather bright. / Oh. Do you think so? Oh, I, I went for eye-catching rather than subtle, I'm afraid. I ... / no no no it's fine, it's fine. One can be too subtle. / trick anyway / sure / cocktail evening will be / on the web site / web site / yesterday with the online booking facility, and I really think / why don't you / all in an email for me, Lynda / really need sorting ASAP / before / can / I just need to organize some music for tonight first. / ___, music?

've really landed myself in it now. It's a complete disaster. / Must be major if you are whispering. / Dad's somewhere around. / So, what's happened, exactly? / mom / this morning, totally recovered from her bug. / Oh, that's good. / this bright idea. I nearly choked. / what bright idea? / bright idea / some of my / Flower and Produce show. They've got a jewelry section, apparently. / Oh. / I kept telling her / Kirsty? / I don't know. / Ooo, I've been an idiot, haven't I? / I think that would be a pretty fair appraisal at the situation. / my mind went / complete blank. / it was bound to backfire / in the end, wasn't it, Helen? / Oh, I know. / Anyway, I'll see you later. / Yeah, OK. Bye.

But I still can't understand how they could not invite the children to the ceremony. / Huh, I expect Jolene and Kenton are struggling to keep the numbers down. / Huh. But still ... oh, poor Chris and Alice. What about ___ and Ian? / disappointed as well. / invited / evening / So, there you are, then. / OK, I'll shut up. ... Oh, gosh. Do you think they've forgotten about us, Brian? Seems ages since we ordered. / it does seem quite a while. / that full, is it? / just short of waitresses, by the looks of it. / have a word. / poor Kathy looks ___ over feet. / she does rather. / I'm sure / get / soon. It's not as if we were in a rush, now is it? / I suppose it's not. Anyway, it looks like I've got to / quick call / starters arrive / at the dairy. I'll be back in a minute / all / hey, don't be long, will you? I'm too hungry to wait for you, darling. / Hi, Kathy. / Oh, Brian. Uh, everything OK? / Fine. Yeah. I / just need to / phonecall / thought / problem with your meal. / Well, we did wonder if / our order / might have been forgotten / have you been waiting long? / You could say that. / Oh, I'm so sorry / worry / it happens / We are even not that busy. Normally we would be able to cope. / staffed / we are / someone left / Martyn decided we needed to cut staffing levels / my department. / Oh, I see. / Of course he hasn't replaced our barman / yet / you must be really stretched. / it's been a nightmare. / we'll lose customers at this rate. We are losing customers. ... Uh oh, sorry, Brian. Of course, you and Martyn are ... Well, I didn't mean to mourn. / quite understand why you would. I mean, he can be a bit, uh, pedantic at times. It's part of / accountant / I'm sure. / Well, I / the best thing is to try to talk things through. / Well, in an ideal world, yes. / I mean, maybe you and Martyn could meet / coffee / have a chat. / well, I'll think about it. Thanks, Brian. And, it's good of you to be so understanding about the delay of your lunch. / It's not your fault. / Let me send you some complimentary drinks / to make up for it. / No. Honestly, Kathy, we are fine. / if you are sure. / Yeah, I am.

You've really saved the day. / Oh, don't speak too soon. / Do you know what? I don't reckon our first effort / still way to go / before / Flower and Produce entry standard / this one's definitely got potential. What do you think? / Hmm. / if they've got a category / one / yeah / OK. Point taken. / least / something to show mom, maybe / back off about the show. ... Oh, thanks for getting all the stuff, Kirsty. / sounded in such a panic on the phone. / kicking myself for having been so stupid. ... Oh, these glass ones are pretty. Look. / used to be / little craft shop near the bicycle repair shop / just didn't know if / still open. / real treasuretrove / gotta be carried away. ... OK. Here's more wire. / I think a necklace is a bit too ambitious. / you might have hidden talents. / Very hidden. The other / Rob was so sweet last night when we met up at ___ ___ lake. / Was he? / He had such fun with Henry / didn't seem to mind. / Well, you shouldn't have apoligized for Henry, should you? / No, no. It was just, we had been looking forward to spending a bit of time alone. But, in the end. Well, watching him / Henry / I just thought how lovely he / Right. / What? / Hhh ... you don't think it's ___ mistake, Henry spending too much time with Rob? / But he's amazing with him. / Yeah, but, you don't want to get Henry too attached to Rob, do you? / I really don't think that's a problem. / ... Right. Huh, just might be worth thinking about. That's all. / Yeah, OK. ... Right, then. I'm going for a bracelet.

Can you help me, Brian? I seem to have lost a sleeve. / There you are. / Thanks. / Kathy, you are on your way? / Yes, thank goodness. / Oh, you look / been a long day. / has rather. Bye, both. / Bye, Kathy. ... Oh, dear. She / exhausted, doesn't she? / I know. / So, why did Martyn Gibson nab you just now? / embarrassing, to be honest. / Huh huh? / he wanted to know if / any problem with the service / Oh, really? / just / great trouble for Kathy / I certainly didn't give him any ammunition. / Good.

If you could just try and rustle up a few more takers, Lynda / I have been doing my best, Ray. / We haven't attracted quite as many people as / hoped. / I imagine that / many of our guests / already made their plans / It's just a question of / how to have a good time. It's not / rocket science as they say / Anyway, better fling myself back into the f____, such as it is. / Yes. Quite. / Lynda, / Kathy. Have you been / a swim? / I have, yes. / I do hope it's done the trick. / Honestly, this really isn't good enough. / Sorry? / last week / no clean towels / got canceled at short notice / changing room is filthy. And the towels / are overflowing. / I do apologize. / Oh, I was so looking forward to relaxing, being able to forget about all the stresses and strains of the day. / Quite. / now I feel even more w___ up. I can't / no, no, no, the trouble is, M___'s been off sick / recently, but that's no excuse / changing rooms. / from what I gather / quite a delicate flower. / married / your chef / isn't she? / that's right. / all I can say is / certainly / never happened when I was in charge. / there's absolutely no excuse / I have asked Ray to sort / attended it yet. I'll chase him up. / ... I'm sorry, Lynda. / No no. Why should you apologize? / No. I've ... I've just had such a terrible week, complaints / awful man. ... But I really didn't mean to take it out on you. / Well, I feel we've really let you down. / well, it ... / But, I've got a perfect solution. / What? / A complimentary cocktail in the bistro. / Oh, no, I don't know, I'm not really in the mood. / Oh, go on. / Oh, well, OK, then. / Wonderful. Follow me. / the way I'm feeling, it'll take rather more than a cocktail to cheer me up. / I'll get you one ___ special. / Thanks. / Oh, Kathy. / Oh, hello. / Can I get you another cocktail, Jennifer? / Uh, no, no thanks, Lynda. one is absolutely fine. ... It's relief to see you, I must say. / Lynda just lured me in. / Oh, yes, me too. / came / nice pampering session of facial and neck massage / And what happened? / canceled at the last minute. So annoying. / I gather that's been happening quite a lot / Health Club lately. And now, / changing rooms are filthy. / Oh, dear. Things are going downhill. / Lynda was so apologetic, but really. / Yeah / really looking forward to de-stressing. I'm sure you were too, after all your / lunch time. ... I can't, um, recommend the cocktail, I'm afraid. I ... I'm looking around for a handy plant pot to pour it in. / Oh, dear. Huh, I see what you mean / many takers. / And of course poor Ray / going with the swing. / Ray? / Well, that rather d___-looking man over there with that interesting moustahe. / Oh, yes. / Oh, oh no, he's coming over. / Jennifer. Another Paradise Sunrise? / No, honestly, Ray, no. One is absolutely perfect. Now, let me introduce you to Kathy __. / Kathy, this is Ray Franklin. / Kathy, lovely to meet you. / And you. / And now I really must make a move. / Already? / Well, it's been wonderful, Jennifer. We must do it all again. / well / bye, Kathy. / Bye. / good bye, Lynda. / Oh, good-bye. / Lynda, one Paradise Sunrise for Kathy if you would. / Yes, I've got it here. / Excellent. / You are very welcome. / Lynda / I think not. I'm afraid Catalina needs me back on the reception now. / So, Kathy, are you local to the area? / Yes, um, I live in Ambridge. / Oh. And, uh, are you a lady of leisure? / I'm afraid not. I'm / club house / manager at the golf club. / Wonderful. Good to meet a kindred spirit, eh. / Sorry? / Kathy, when I say / this place / a bit of livening / Yes. Well, / certainly looks rather deserted in here. / I am setting myself a personal goal to change all that. / Right. / How is it? / Sorry? / Your Paradise Sunrise. You haven't tried it yet. / Oh, no, no I haven't. / guaranteed to put you in the mood, eh? Cheers. / ... Cheers.
