The following programme
contains violent themes.
Remember that time I lost it,
just after we met?
Up at the arcade.
Seeing that drunk guy
with his forehead all cut open.
No one noticed.
No one cared.
He didn't care.
Just sitting there.
And I felt it come on and I
I panicked.
And everyone started staring at me
like I was mad.
That made it all worse.
Then I thought I was drowning.
And then you bowled over,
acting like nothing was wrong.
I said I was ashamed,
because everyone was staring at me.
You said
They weren't looking at you,
actually, babe.
They were staring at my arse.
Cos it is a truly magnificent arse.
What do we do, Bun?
When people stop caring
about each other?
Or stop caring about themselves?
There's only one thing we can do.
Get an ice cream.
I reckon we nearly made it.
Didn't we, Bun?
Oh, baby
It's a commitment, baby
And my wife don't like it
My wife don't like it!
So come with me
We gotta love one another
Or die, brother
We gotta love one another or die
Oh, baby
Cos it's superglue
It's superglue
It's superglue, baby!
Knock 'em dead
Knock 'em dead! ♪
This is it.
OK, Daddy.
Here, Rob,
caught that guy with the fork.
Boo!
Alright, mate? Oh, yeah.
You keep it, no worries.
Next.
Name?
Bunny.
Munro.
Company?
Eternity Enterprises.
You are very welcome.
That's bullshit, you know?
They caught the wrong guy.
The real devil's still out there.
I know.
He's coming for me.
Maybe we don't have to be
salesmen anymore.
I don't think I'm much of a piranha.
Christ, you're a good boy.
How'd you get so good?
Mummy, probably.
Mm. Yeah
Yeah.
She was really something, wasn't she?
Yeah.
Can I have another coke, Dad?
Yeah. Why don't you get
yourself one?
On my own?
Yeah.
You'll be alright.
You're a big boy.
OK, boy?
Another coke, please.
Ice and and a straw.
Name?
Uh, Bunny Munro.
Company?
Eternity Enterprises.
Ah, yes. They're excepting you
in the auditorium.
It's time.
You need a light, friend?
Shouldn't you be on?
No, they haul me on
on the third number.
Ah.
I like your quiff.
I dig your moustache.
Oh, thanks, man.
My wife don't go for it much.
No? It looks good.
Yeah. Well, it's a commitment.
Yeah. I can see that.
But I do love my wife.
Yeah
Hi-de-hi!
Hi-de-hi!
Are we gonna have some fun tonight?
What are you doing here, man?
Guess I've gotta put
a few things right.
I hear you. We've gotta love
one another or die, brother.
Yeah. I heard that.
Well, it's superglue, baby.
Keeps the heart
of the world pumping.
Seriously, folks,
before the fun begins
we've got a gentleman
that's come along tonight
and wants to say a few words to you.
I guess this is me.
Knock 'em dead, brother.
Knock 'em dead.
So, without further ado-do-do,
could we have a big round
of applause for Mr Bunny Munro!
Um my name is
I'm, er
My name is Bunny Munro and I
Hit it.
ELVIS: Always On My Mind ♪
Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
Little things I should've said
And done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely nights
And I guess I never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine
If I made you feel second best
I'm so sorry I was blind
You were always on my mind
Tell me
Tell me that
Your sweet love hasn't died
Give me
Give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied
Little things
I should've said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on ♪
Stop, please, stop.
Where are you going?
Well, to a party.
Why do you
think we're all dressed up?
But
I wanna come with you.
I'm sorry, sweetheart.
You were not invited.
And, anyway,
you're hardly dressed for it.
Goodbye, Bun.
I'm scared.
Do you forgive me?
Do you?
Sure.
You do?
What difference does it make?
It's not about you, Bun.
You must know that by now.
Libby
Oh, God!
Stay here. Keep calm.
Oh, my God!
Ambulance!
Call an ambulance!
Call an ambulance! Ambulance now!
Dad!
So what do you think of the place?
It's nice.
It's just a pool.
Yeah.
It is.
So what now?
Time to hit the road, I think, mate.
Think I may have to head out
on my own this time.
Sharks, you know
kind of hunt alone.
Will you be OK without me?
Hey, Bunny Boy
you are a terrible salesman.
Hey, come on, little man.
Let me help you.
Bunny, Elias, breakfast!

Are you coming?
In a minute.
Now, what about,
this is a hard one, kitchen?
K-I-T-C-H-E-N.
Amazing! Well done! Hey, morning!
Morning.
You take a seat. I'll get some toast.
Here we go. I'll just get the butter.
Thanks.
Elias, get a move on!
Coming!
Oh, and Elias,
no odd socks today, please!
Alright!
How did you sleep?
Good, good.
Have you packed your PE kit?
-Yep.
-And there's no homework you've not done?
No.
Great.
Come on, eat up.
Hey, did you hear me?
You've not put any odd socks
on today, have you?
Looking like a little
ragamuffin again.
No.
Good.
Come on, eat up.
This is for afterwards.
The bright horses have broken free
From the fields
They are horses of love
Their manes full of fire
They are parting the cities
Those bright burning horses
And everyone is hiding
And no one makes a sound
And I'm by your side
And I'm holding your hand
Bright horses of wonder springing
From your burning hand
