What's the matter, Henry, eh? / he's off to have lunch with his friend, __ / get / is it far? / Quite. I needed to walk, and / I want / village shop / of course / now / don't know why / stop saying that, Henry. / Hey, are you hungry, Henry? I'll tell you what. Why don't I give you and your mummy a lift? I'm sure / a lovely lunch waiting for you.

The soup should be ready soon. / No rush. / might / give me lunch. / just soup and cheese. It's not very celebra_y, ... if we've got something to celebrate / I'm not sure. / you haven't heard about the job / Felpersham yet? / oh yes / offered it to me. / Kathy, that's great. I'm so pleased for you. Well done. / Thank you. / Well, you don't seem very happy about it. / It was a relief, of course, but when I started to think about it ... / got some reservations? / silly / you don't have to take the job just because they've offered it you, if it's not what you want / I'm still not sure. I told __ about it to Jamie, and he was all for it. / But not enough to convince you? / doing the right thing. / Well, of course you do.

Mmm, oh, this is nice. / It's only the Bull / Well, it's only The Bull. / Even so, a very good idea. / Well, I thought / treat / settle down very well / yeah / me / handle him / so sorry about that, Adam / don't be silly. All mothers / lose / sometimes. / lose / I mean / I don't know who's behaving worse, Henry or me. / maybe you just needed a little bit of a break from each other. / Hmm / you did seem very upset. Is something else bothering you? / No, no. I'm afraid / good / Henry's third birthday, then / Oh, Helen, Adam. How nice. / Hi, Kirsty / you wanna join us? / ordered yet / meeting Tom, but / stood you up / already / I don't think that's very likely. / No. It's his sausages. / of course it is. / It's national sausage week / know that / he had a rush of last-minute orders. He needed to sort out some extra production / good / doing so well / pleasure of your company / how could I resist / such a charming invitation / we could make it a party. Rob and Jess have just come in / you haven't met / no, but ... / Ah, you will like her. She's lovely. ... Rob, Jess, over here.

Mmm. ... It is only a one-year contract to cover her maternity leave. / So, it's just a short term solution, really? Um, do you want some more bread? / No, I'm fine, thanks. ... Yes, it is. / Well, sometimes, women don't want to come back to their original job. / I thought of that. / prefer to go part-time / another role altogether / with shifts and everything. / Exactly. / But I can't bank on her not coming back. ... Oh, this is delicious, Pat. / good / Jamie / come up in the meantime / optimist / you / be well-placed to get it. / with it being part of a chain, they might / opportunity / some / other places / I don't know about that. Felpersham is quite far enough for me. I prefer to work close to home if I can. / Well, unless you can find a job actually on your doorstep / which is very unlikely / I have to say / does sound ideal to me. / Yes, I know. / I'm gonna take it. / Oh, I think / wonderful new start for you. Why don't you ring them now?

Uh, how's your sheph___'s pie, Jess? / Mmm, absolutely delicious. / F__'s s__ pie is famous / Borsetshire. Isn't it, Helen? / Yes. / I've been raving / for months. / Have you? / So, what do you do, Kirsty? / I work in Ambridge Organics with Helen. / Oh. / must / big shop / we / organic food. I'm surprised / mention it to me, Rob / I suppose you are going to tell me / too busy working to cook. / Oh, no. Rob's been quite a frequent visitor. / Honestly, you can't believe a word / this man says / how's your job hunt going, Jess? / I've been putting a few __s / have been up here. But it'll have to be / sure / can manage without me / of course / but that shouldn't be too long. She's / really well. __ __. / Yeah. We are all sorry to hear about your dad. / Thanks. / Uh, Jess thought she could do / agency worker / permanent / straight away / kept this man waiting long enough. He's been very patient. / Sorry. / You're all right, Kirsty? / yes, um ... that's, something went down the wrong way. / Here. Have my water. / Thank you / that's kind / so, uh, anyway, / Jess / very keen to move here / as soon as / can / that'll be nice for you / And me. / quite / Ambridge / we think it's a bit special, don't we, Helen? / Yes. / It's such a friendly place / can be, to the right people. / hope / one of them. / Of course you are / a great / village life. Just be careful of / Lynda S___ / do anything / it's too late for that. Jess has already / you didn't take that much persuading / don't tell me / extravaganza / not just any odd part. He's going to be Robin Hood. / You are going to be Robin Hood? / Uh, yes. ... Why? Are you in it? / Yes. I'm Maid Marian.

I am worried about Helen. / I can see you are. / there's obviously something she's not telling us. / Does sound like it. / And she's really short-tempered with Henry at the moment / not like her. / No, it's not. Do you think Tony might be right / love affair gone wrong? / I hope not. But it would explain a lot of things. / But wouldn't she just tell you? / I don't know. Maybe not. After what happened with Jono, she was very / sorry. I / have to take that / no no no, go on. / It's Caroline. I wonder what she wants.

Sorry to break the party out, but I've got a stack of paperwork waiting on my desk. / Huh. / Always work first with this man. ... Nice to have met you, Helen, and you too, Kirsty / It was nice to meet you, Jess. / Yes. / sure / more of each other when Jess moves up / I hope so. / Bye. / come with you, Rob. There's something I wanted to ask you. Work-related, I'm afraid. Sorry, Jess. / Oh, ... Helen, I'm so sorry. / What for? / wasn't much used to / I don't think anyone / sitting there / nice woman. / She was nice, wasn't she? / in his mouth / at least you managed to say something. / not / I wanted to say / I was just paralized / very lucky / s__ pie in his face. / I am so awful. / Oh, Helen, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to upset you. / It's not your fault. It's my fault / of course it isn't. You mustn't think like that. ... Helen, don't cry. He's not worth it. / Helen, what's the matter? / I, can't ... I just ... just ... / First that dreadful meal, and now this? What on earth is going on?

Thank you, Caroline. That's very kind of you. See you tomorrow. ... I don't believe it. / Was Caroline saying what I think she was saying? / She's advertising for deputy manager. / Oh, Kathy. / she told the rest of the staff / lunch time / she didn't want me to hear it from anyone else / that was thoughtful of her. / she is thoughtful. She / looks after her staff. She's one of the best managers I've ever worked for. / go on working for her. / I can't now, can I? / half an hour earlier. / You would have turned the other job down? / I don't know. I might have. ... But it's all academic now. I told her / I had accepted it.

Maybe I was wrong about Ambridge being a friendly village. / Sorry. They are not usually like that. / I don't know why I / got / wrong foot with them / not your fault / no / did / you that Kirsty / problem with. Why is she so horrified at your being Robin Hood? She couldn't hide it / boyfriend / Tom Archer / I see. I hope she gets over it, or it's going to be a very odd production. / Yeah, I hope so, too. / At least she spoke. Is Helen always that silent? / Uh, ah, her family recently went out of dairy, and she is very __ to them. I expect / having an off day / she did look very pale. I hope the poor girl's all right.

Such a comfort, the Ambridge ducks. / Are they? / Whatever is happening to you, they are always there, quacking and waiting for people to throw them some bread / we should have brought some with us / much of your sandwich. / No. / Do you feel like talking about it now? / Oh, spending your day mopping me up / you / better things to do with your afternoon / I wasn't going to leave you on your own. And Kirsty had to get off to the shop / she's been such good friend to me / I'd like to be / you always are, Adam. / Well then? / All right. ... I've been having an affair with Rob Titchener. / What? / I knew you would be shocked. / Nuh ... no. Just incredibly surprised. You and Rob? / Me and Rob ... until, ... when her dad died / then / he can't see me any more. / Oh, Helen. / So predictable. All the cliches. I've really, really thought. ... Well, now you can despise me. / Oh, Helen ... / That's what I deserve. / Believe me, Helen, I haven't always been / I'm in no position to throw stones. We all make mistakes. / more than most people / when we are in love / went into / with my eyes open. At least I thought I did. / We kid ourselves. / I believed him. And he said / over between them. / believed it himself. / I wanted to. ... Now I've met her and seen them together ... / Yeah. / Oh, Adam ... I've been such a fool.
