Previously on "Recipes
for Love and Murder"
- Mrs Purvis
- Maria.
Tannie Maria.
Well, Tannie Maria,
advice columnist
My brain only works
in the kitchen.
- Mm.
- Oh, wow
What brought you to the Karoo?
I inherited this house.
Your mother would never sell.
Nostalgic business
about growing up there.
I won't be selling either.
Dear Tannie Maria,
I'm in love with the best,
smartest girl in town.
Karoo Gazette, Hattie
Wilson speaking.
Hattie, about the rent!
The workers are never satisfied.
They're trying to
cripple our businesses!
The community paper
is no place for
news relevant
to the community?
I'm a journalist.
I'm gonna need to leave this
place for Cape Town or Jozi
Maybe even New York.
- You are Seventh Day
- Adventists.
Dear Tannie Maria, my
husband is a loving man
and a great father.
- Good day.
- Hi, you're welcome.
But when it comes to
the religious stuff,
I feel like I'm playing a part.
If you pray about it, I'm
sure God can help you.
I'm not.
Dear Tannie, my
husband He'll kill me.
You bastard!
If there's a killer on the
loose, we should be informed.
- That's right.
- Exactly!
What if he climbs through
my window in the night?
Ha! You should be so lucky.
Maria, what are you wearing?
It was the only black
thing I could find.
Please, keep out
of this business.
No one needs your meddling.
- I'm trying to catch a killer.
- That's my job, not yours.
Found any clues,
Tannie Sherlock?
Bastard.
Has there ever been
an Uncle Maria?
A long time ago.
Hello, ma'am. We're
responding to your call.
Her mother died two
months before Mickey did.
Then we have to do what's right.
It's delicious.
Aren't you gorgeous.
May I ask who's looking for her?
Detective Sergeant McClintock.
- Oh, and I'm Aileen.
- My sister-in-law.
Hello.
Gosh, Maria. You
look so different.
A lot has happened.
You'd better come in.
How about a lovely bowl of soup?
Oh, I remember
that fridge magnet!
You bought that on
our daytrip to York.
How was the drive?
There's the eggy cup I
gave you. You kept that.
The roads around here
can be a bit treacherous.
Oh, sorry, I'm blathering.
Maria, this is Gordon.
My husband.
Hello, Gordon. It's
lovely to meet you.
We met before, the
day your husband died.
Oh, this is delicious.
- Soup?
- Gordon, take the soup.
Your mother left you this house
to you when she passed away.
Yes.
Which was a few weeks
before Mickey died.
- Yes.
- Or was killed.
Gordon!
No, go on. Say what you
came all this way to say.
You were at their
wedding, weren't you?
You saw the young
lovebirds make their vows?
It's less romantic,
but I did get a copy of
your marriage certificate.
Married in community
of property, they were.
What's mine is yours,
and what's yours is mine.
You do remember your legally
binding signature, Maria?
Get to the point.
When your mother died,
this house became
yours and Mickey's.
And when you killed him
- Gordon, now that is enough.
- Let me finish!
When you killed him,
you forfeited any
rights to his estate.
Mickey had a will,
did you know that?
And he left everything
to his wee sister.
Now, what kind of man
explicitly writes his
own wife out of his will?
Maybe one in an
unhappy marriage?
Anyhow, Mickey did that.
Which means that half
of this house is
Aileen's.
Did you come from
Edinburgh to take my house?
You just vanished.
I came to find you.
Do you believe that
I killed Mickey?
Well, arrest me then.
Until you do
it's time for Morag and
I to have a bit of rest.
Come, my darling.
You've been around And
seen a lot of places ♪
But everywhere there
are Those staring faces ♪
Find somewhere that
you Don't normally go ♪
They just look at you
'Cause they want to know ♪
Who's that girl And
what's she doing here ♪
Oh, bugger.
Oh
Oh, come on!
Run out of fuel?
Oh No, definitely not that.
- That bad?
- Nah
Don't worry, she'll be
purring along in no time.
I'll grab my tools.
Very bad planning, dying nine
months before the elections.
Mm-hm, selfish. I don't
think I ever saw him here.
Guess we're not fancy enough.
Probably preferred the expensive
stores there in Oudtshoorn.
I asked that man three times
about improving on the floral
display as you enter town.
Was he bothered?
He didn't even care
that the drinking
fountain in Church Street
was graffitied by hooligans.
It is now bright green!
I just hope whoever
runs for mayor
will take it
seriously this time.
Well, I plan to do exactly
that. I'll be running for mayor.
Special election in a
month, because of
- You?
- For mayor?
Of Eden?
Of the Greater Eden
Municipality
Eden, Hopeville,
Littleford, the lot.
My goodness!
Well, I've invested
plenty of time and energy
into the local business
forum and as town councillor,
and now I plan to
extend my civic duties
to running for mayor.
If you ladies will
hurry up a bit,
I have an important
business meeting.
Go on, have another one.
Just hang on.
You must be Tannie Maria.
When I told people I was moving
here, they mentioned you.
Ricus
The satanic mechanic,
they call me.
- Are you one?
- A satanist?
Yes. I don't think I've
ever met one before.
Not really, sorry. I wear
black. And I like skulls.
But people like the
name, and it rhymes.
I see it as free marketing.
I found a skull in my
garden the other day.
- Yeah?
- Duiker, I think.
It was very clean and
white, and rather beautiful.
Death is beautiful
in its own way.
It shouldn't scare us.
Have you moved here?
Yup. Plenty of old
bakkies in the Karoo,
always work for a mechanic.
There we go
Right
Alright
Try it.
- You're a wizard!
- No, I'm not that either.
I just know my way
around an engine.
- How much do I owe you?
- Um
Two more macarons?
- Take them all, please!
- Thank you, thank you.
Just Just hang on.
Pleasure meeting you, Maria.
Bring her around for a
proper service at some point.
She's getting on a
bit, needs some TLC.
I will do so.
Are you sure you don't want one?
No, thank you very much.
I'm really glad the rule of law
also applies in this country.
Well, hardly.
Believe me! Things have changed
like you cannot believe.
Based on my research and
calls that I've made,
we have enough for
you to force the sale.
Now, Maria's been resisting,
but let me tell you
we have buyers ready and
eager to snap up that land.
A luxury spa and
a health retreat.
While we await the paperwork,
I'm gonna be heading
back to Scotland tonight.
I've persuaded the district
office to reopen the case.
Maria's husband's death?
- Or murder.
- I
don't particularly
care for the woman,
but Maria has never
struck me as a killer.
You know what women can be like
in the midst of marital strife.
I can tell you some
ugly things I've seen
in my time on the force.
Well, that's true.
My ex-wife became
unreasonable and spiteful.
She bought my former friend's
business, after he passed in
complicated circumstances.
She even threw her name on
the thing, "Dorette's Deli".
Bloody nothing wrong with Koop.
Anyway, she knew that
I wanted to buy it.
And even after I tried to
fix things with doughnuts,
she wouldn't. I mean
Who doesn't love doughnuts?
Oh, uh never mind.
I'll draw up a draft agreement,
and notify the deeds
office here of your claim.
And then with a death
certificate and a will,
it should be a
simple legal matter.
Thank you.
Such a relief to deal
with a reasonable man
instead of all those
female histrionics.
Enjoy Scotland.
Let me know how the
investigation goes.
I'm close now. I can feel it.
If I can prove what I've known
since the day I
laid eyes on her,
that she killed her husband
She wonders why I
won't eat her soup.
KAROO BUTCHERY
Oh! Good morning.
- Morning!
- Morning.
Come here, come here, come here.
You simply have to try some
of my new bacon biltong.
No thanks, Doep. I'm thinking
of becoming a vegetarian.
But I hope those little piggies
fly off the shelves for you.
Thank you.
Oh
Also, I need to watch my figure.
Oh, please! I think the
gentlemen of the town
do more than enough
watching of your figure,
and I think they approve.
Oh, you flatter me. Carry on.
Oh, Hats, isn't it great to have
everything back to normal, hey?
- I could do this every morning.
- We do do this every morning.
We're so lucky.
Yes, we are very,
very privileged.
But I do sometimes wish
something different
happened in this town.
Come on, Jessie, you came out
of hospital two weeks ago.
I think we had way
too much excitement
with this van Wyk business. Hey?
Don't you think the peace
and quiet is much nicer?
Hey
What's up, bro!
Hey, you're back!
We We weren't expecting
you till tomorrow.
Oh
- You remember Jessie?
- Of course.
You finally tamed her?
Nice bike! I miss mine terribly.
Thanks, yeah. She's pretty
good. What happened to yours?
A crossbow killer drove me
off the road and wrecked it.
Hate it when that happens.
Were you able to get
a meeting to attend
and a local therapist?
Dr Michaels told us
"Welcome home, bro.
We missed you, bro.
Hey, let's celebrate, bro."
Don't be like that. Jaco!
Thanks.
- Morning.
- Morning.
Did you see that they had
a murder in Littleford?
Yes, I did. It's awful.
I thought maybe I should start
a regional crime reporting beat?
Look for stories beyond Eden.
Well, actually, I've
got something
- Morning!
- Morning.
- Ooh, what did you bring?
- Well, I made macarons
Oh, I love your macarons!
The bite, the almond biscuit,
the right amount of chew,
the pomegranate filling
I gave them to a
satanic mechanic.
Oh
Oh him! I saw his flyers.
What's he like up close?
He looks very lithe from
far away, like a panther.
Well, he was very helpful,
he fixed my bakkie.
I cannot comment on
how "panthery" he was.
He could fix your bike, Jessie,
you could take it to him.
- Mm
- Might cost you more
than a basket of
macarons though.
That sounds fair enough.
I was just telling Hattie about
my new regional crime beat.
Well now, I didn't say yes.
In fact, I think it's
more important than ever
to be focused on Eden.
Dear Tannie Maria, I can't think
of an easy way to ask this.
You see, I'm running for mayor!
You're what?
I think my marriage is over.
Is it possible for
a couple to survive
after someone has
been unfaithful?
She used to look at me like
my eyes filled her soul,
but now she looks at me like
I'm the annoying neighbour
that's always asking
for something.
And I guarantee you,
she doesn't want to
lend me any sugar.
As a couple, I always thought
we were on the same page
about what we wanted in life,
our values, our beliefs.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Oh, this is so kind of you guys.
I'm gonna give these to the
mums in the maternity ward.
But now I wonder if we have
both been playing parts,
trying to be who the other
person wants us to be.
I love my wife, Tannie,
and I can't imagine
a future without her.
But once trust is broken,
can you ever get it back?
Do you have a recipe
for forgiveness?
Sincerely, Troubled in Paradise.
I think it's worth a try, Hats.
Have you ever been cheated on?
Regardt would sooner
stab his own eyes out.
He's a wise man.
Did either of you hear me
say, "I'm running for mayor"?
Good for you, Hattie!
About time this town
had a woman mayor!
I've just remembered
I've got an appointment
at the police station!
Well, that's not quite the
response I was hoping for.
I can't believe I'm the only
one here not dating a policeman.
I think Constable
Klaasen's single,
- if you like a woman in uniform.
- Oh well, I'd like
Now, Hats, back to the
regional crime beat
It's good to have
you back, boss.
Yeah. Did I miss any cases?
Nope.
And that request for extra staff
that came from
regional head office?
They've got enough
volunteers, no need for us.
Maria's coming in soon
for her final hearing.
I know.
Have you seen her
since you got back?
No.
There might be a permanent
post in Cape Town.
Thanks for not jumping for joy,
because I haven't said yes.
You're hurting my
feelings, boss.
Yeah.
Hattie, hi! You look
positively flushed!
Do I?
I'm just excited about my new
venture. I'd love your support.
Let me guess, the Gazette's
launching a radio station?
I have been told I
have a wonderful voice.
How would you feel about lending
your voice to support my
mayoral campaign?
As a respected councillor
in the community,
people would absolutely
value your judgment.
Well, this is awkward.
You see, because I'm actually
running for mayor too.
You? Oh!
I'm sure we share the
exact same instincts.
I mean, what our town
so desperately needs
is a mayor who's
temperate and moderate
Deliberate.
I don't think I've ever
been more temperate.
Moderate, however
Of course, you know,
with all my experience
as a town councillor, I do
feel so very qualified
for the role.
Anyway, Hattie! You
are so brave for considering
running at your age, hey?
That's me, the face of bravery.
Inspiring.
Mm Chantal always knows
how to get under your skin.
Oh, Jackie! How
lovely to see you.
I did get your message
"Hattie Wilson, mayor of Eden."
It's got such a
beautiful ring to it.
You'll have to take over the
business forum of course,
now that we've finally got
some women in charge there.
I think the men on the forum
have only just recovered
from the heart
attacks you gave them
after you announced that I'll
be taking over as treasurer.
I'll get Charlene to stock up
on heart medication then
Because the women in this
town are not to be stopped!
So, for the record,
Mrs Purvis
Explain one more time how
you came to be in possession
of a police firearm.
Khaya's weapon fell when he
was shot with a crossbow.
It's important that citizens
should only operate firearms
if they have the
licence to do so.
Well, I understand the
guidelines now, yes.
At the time, I was too busy
ducking to avoid the arrows
flying everywhere to
do any reading up.
Do you have a firearms licence?
Oh no, absolutely
not, I hate guns.
But my dad taught me how to
handle them when I was young.
Hunting.
Piet, do you really think
that this is necessary?
I have to ask, for the record.
But who's going to
check the record?
Me, boss. It's my job.
It's fine, really. I
picked up Khaya's gun.
I shot van Wyk.
Twice.
I would do it again.
And, are you willing to
undergo firearms training
with one of our safety officers
in case anything of this
nature happens in the future?
I highly doubt I'm
going to encounter
another psychopath with a
crossbow anytime in the future.
Um
Hearing's officially concluded.
Maria Purvis cleared
of all charges.
- Is that it?
- Mm-hm.
Khaya Meyer cleared of all
charges relating to negligence.
- What?
- Standard procedure
when an officer's gun lands
into civilian hands, boss.
You were investigating me?
I just cleared you though, sir.
You did the right thing. I
don't think I've ever told you.
Oh, I know I did.
I'd hate to be dead. And you.
How was Cape Town?
It was good. Busy.
You should come
to dinner. Friday?
It's a date.
Oh, Maria
Um, do you mind if I
bring someone along?
On the date?
I know, I know, it's um
I'm sorry, it's Kazi.
She's coming to
visit for a weekend.
Oh, yes.
Of course. Oh, yes.
The more the merrier.
You could get started on
the monthly events write up?
Done it.
Any notable birthdays coming up?
I wrote a profile on
this town's first mayor
who would've been
150 this month.
Oh!
Alright, fine, you
can go to Littleford,
do a piece on the murder
there, but it's a one-off!
Thanks, Hats.
Busy day Morag? Mm
Me too.
And now it's time for
a wee bit of cooking.
Oh
Oh, there you go.
Put the rock in.
That's it Hey!
So
I started packing your
things from my room.
Your room?
You'd best be careful.
I'm a pretty good shot.
You know, Gordon won't stop
until he's got the proof.
I don't suppose he will.
Does it not bother you, Aileen?
Your whole marriage, has it
all been about me and Mickey?
Don't be daft.
How much of your
savings has he spent
flying you both out here,
and himself home again?
To investigate what?
He's been trying to prove
that I killed Mickey for
how many years now?
Surely if there was
proof to be found
do you not think he
would have found it?
Oh, he'll keep looking,
because he cares about Mickey.
About getting justice for him.
Because he cares about me!
I can see how much you
need to believe that.
- Hm
- Hurry up now, Jess.
We literally just arrived!
Yes, but ever since
your bike got smashed
it's like I'm your
bloody chauffeur.
And besides if we
spend too long here
people's gonna all start
thinking I'm also a satanist.
A new patient for me?
Yes please! Maria says you're
a genius at fixing things.
She's a genius at making
macarons, that's for sure.
Let's go take a look.
- Hello.
- Hi. Yeah
Yeah, she looks rough.
Luckily the helmet worked.
Just leave her right here.
Just get the kickstand there.
Thanks.
Some of my patients are human.
I am qualified to fix both.
Psychologist and mechanic.
An unusual career combo.
I worked as a
psychologist in the city,
but I like living
in the country.
Fewer patients though,
so I diversified.
Okay, I'm gonna
need about a week.
I need to order in some parts,
but she's definitely fixable.
Good,
because my chauffeur
is getting antsy.
Most people have some
trauma to work through.
You're welcome to
join us anytime.
Jessie!
Um, thanks, but
not at the moment.
- And, thanks.
- Sure.
I'm coming!
No, I completely
understand, I hear you.
And trust me,
I will convey your message
to the editor personally.
It's a pleasure. Bye!
What's the message?
Oh, some old tannie complaining
about the size of your print.
Oh.
Hats, the phone was just
ringing and ringing,
so eventually I
just came through.
You have had two calls from the
Ladies Aid about fundraising.
This gentleman placed a personal
ad about a long-lost cousin,
and an advertiser took
out a double-page spread
for his fertiliser special.
Well, I talked him up to
the double-page spread.
He was umming and ahing
and sitting on the fence.
There you go.
- Doep?
- Mm?
How do you fancy being
my campaign manager?
Butchery deals promoted
at every public event.
Your van gets painted over
as a campaign vehicle.
Hm Half campaign vehicle,
half mayoral meat special.
On voting day, it's my
face and my face only.
No sausage.
- Deal.
- Deal. First step,
an outdoor movie night to
launch the whole campaign.
- "Hattie, the hands-on mayor."
- Is this the Gazette still,
or have I interrupted
a political rally?
Marius, how can I help?
I'd like to take out a two-page
ad for my mayoral campaign.
Unless, of course, you're
so narrow minded
No, of course! No problem.
Colour, or black and white?
Colour, definitely
go for colour.
You have to show off those
beautiful baby blues of yours.
Colour. Yes.
Morag, I think what both
Troubled in Paradise and I need
is some comfort
from an old friend.
Wow, do you ever stop working?
Oh, every now and again.
Mm
Dear Troubled When we
don't confront things,
well, then we leave room
for mistrust to simmer.
It's not healthy to
leave things unspoken.
You asked me if your
marriage can survive
and I honestly don't know.
But the only place to
start, is with the truth.
Oh, Morag, I really
like Maria
But Gordon says we
cannae trust her.
I don't know if you need
to forgive your wife,
or if she needs to forgive you.
Probably both? Maybe you even
need to forgive yourself.
My recipe for
forgiveness takes time
but it's definitely worth it.
Detective Sergeant
Gordon McClintock.
I need a file for Mickey Purvis.
Here's my paperwork for a PSAR.
Start with oxtail and lamb neck.
You'll need to let it brown
to properly develop flavour.
Remember to season,
always add salt.
And don't forget to water it.
What I love about this dish
is how each ingredient brings
out the best in the others.
Jess, I need your red jacket.
Um, hello?
Come on, I don't care, I'm 16.
As long as you guys don't get
R-rated, it doesn't matter.
It's fine, carry
on. Don't mind me.
- Bron!
- Sorry, thank you.
Like a good relationship,
this potjie needs
care and attention.
Every layer of flavour
adds more depth.
From the potato and carrots
all the way to the green
beans mushrooms and tomatoes,
it just keeps getting
more delicious.
Hello? Kazi! You answered!
Are we still on
for this weekend?
Well, you bet.
Perhaps the most
important ingredient
in forgiveness is patience.
You'll need it here too, because
it's time to just let it simmer.
This particular potjie
needs a boost of flavour
so don't forget your
secret ingredients.
- Oh, hello.
- Georgie.
It's lovely to see you.
- I'll see you tomorrow.
- Okay.
And remember,
sauces really are the only kind
of secrets you should have.
Don't stir it though
This is all about layers
and creating depth.
You'll know when it's ready.
That's the best
answer I have, really.
You'll just know.
What have you made there?
Recipe will be in
the paper tomorrow,
you can buy it like
everybody else.
Wait.
Do
Do you remember
the first time we met?
You were explaining
to the chippy
how they could make
their batter more crispy.
I remember.
- You thrashed me at darts.
- Well, it wasnae difficult.
You've got a terrible
arm on you for darts.
And you were always
more competitive.
Aye.
Gordon only wants
what's best for me.
Thank you.
If it was me and my
partner was cheating on me,
I'd squeeze his
testicles in a vice.
- Sorry?
- The letter
- That's what you're reading?
- Oh, yes. I think it's sad.
Marriage vows are
sacred before God.
Maybe you're right
Maybe I don't have to
get the vice myself.
I could just pray for
God to do it to him.
Hey
What's the recipe?
Pot stew.
Two kinds of meat.
I'm sure Maria can suggest
a vegan one if you ask.
Everyone in the queue today
was talking about infidelity.
Potjie sounds like
a lovely idea.
Wow, for just the two of us?
Maybe when the kids get back
from visiting your
parents for the holidays.
- I miss the kids.
- I'm sure they're doing great.
I can still miss them.
Yes, you can. I
didn't mean that.
- You busy today?
- Yes.
I'm helping Hattie.
You're coming too?
Maybe a bit later. I
promised Mrs Harris
that I'd stop by her
and read this afternoon,
so I'll do that first.
- Doep!
- Yes, Hattie?
- Everything needs to be perfect.
- And it will be, Hattie.
It will be. Just
trust and believe.
Yes, go for two.
Mm-hm Yes.
Can I help you?
Bike looks good.
Are you Ricus?
I'm supposed to report
to you for therapy,
part of my "parole" from rehab.
Ah, Jaco!
There's no support
group tonight,
but if anybody asks, I'll
tell them you stopped by.
I thought I'd see if you
need a hand with anything.
- I can't pay you.
- I'm good with engines.
I've been servicing
my own since I was 14.
Yeah, I just started out here.
I can't promise you
a regular income.
Gimme a chance, man.
I'm not gonna steal shit.
This isn't about
you and your shit.
I can't employ you,
and I can't pay you.
Get that running, and I'll
cut you in on the repair fee.
Cool, whatever.
And
don't go into the
reptile enclosure.
I hope it's a good
turnout. For Hattie.
You know how the people in
this town love a freebie.
That's true. And a
chance to gossip.
I'm looking forward
to finding out
why "The Gods must be Crazy."
I mean, I'd always
suspected that they were.
It's definitely a classic.
I'm Hattie Wilson.
Hattie?
Harriet
No, don't be silly.
I'm Hattie Wilson. And if
you don't know my name yet
- Hattie
- Sorry, Frank,
I'm just practicing!
Hattie, I think we have
everything under control.
Um, I just have a few things to
take care of at the guest house,
then I'll be back.
Thank you, Frank. Whatever
would we do without you?
People of Eden,
I'm Hattie Wilson,
and I'm one of you.
You want us to do what exactly?
Interview a suspect
who's currently living
in your jurisdiction.
Just an interview?
That's all. Fairly
basic police work.
- And who's the suspect?
- Maria Purvis.
- Maria.
- Yes, Jessie?
You haven't spoken much
about your sister-in-law.
- Are you looking for the gossip?
- That's not fair.
You're my friend,
and I care about you.
What would you like to know?
I heard a rumour in town that
she says your house is hers.
But that's obviously nonsense.
It's complicated.
Will you tell me
if you need help?
I will.
I promise.
You you are her
brother-in-law, right?
We met that day. Why would
I investigate for you?
I'm sure you've been
busy settling back in,
but if you check your email
you'll see a formal request
from Police Scotland.
They finally stopped
ignoring my requests
once I showed them the extent
of Maria's estate in Eden.
They found the pictures of
her land most illuminating.
Everyone thought I'd lost my
mind on this one, Detective.
Become obsessed. I was
pushed out the force for it.
But finally, they're starting
to take me seriously.
Just ask her, "Did you
kill your husband?"
What's the worst thing
that could happen?
- Have an eggselent evening!
- Thank you.
Good one!
One please.
Would you like your
eggs soft, or well done?
Oh, soft please! I
love me a good yolk.
Yeah, me too, they
really crack me up.
- Oh
- Mrs McClintock! Marius Rabie,
I'm assisting your husband
with your legal matters.
Of course, it's
lovely to see you.
Rabie, Rabie Oh, I've
finally put it together.
Is it your gorgeous
wife who runs the deli?
- Ex-wife.
- Oh, I'm so sorry.
Is he making progress
with the case?
He is indeed, Mr
Rabie. He is indeed.
- Good.
- Are you having?
Hey
I didn't think community
spirit was your thing.
Oh, I'm not here for the movies.
What do you need?
- Just, like, a few hundred.
- For what?
I'm not gonna buy drugs, if
that's what you're asking.
Look, just till
I get paid, okay?
I've already
organised some work.
Alright.
Okay, ladies and
gentlemen, boys and girls,
and everything in between
It's almost showtime!
So, this is last rounds
to go and get yourself
something fabulous to eat
from one of our
fantastic food stalls.
Because the festivities start
in 20 minutes. No, 30 minutes.
It's so crowded here,
I don't think we'll get
close to the screen!
That's okay. It's not often
we get a babysitter, right?
Excuse me, excuse me
Pregnant lady coming through.
Excuse me, thank you.
Don't get any respect
anymore. Excuse me?
Thank you, excuse me!
Pregnant lady coming
through. Jesus!
Rude people. Excuse
me, thank you.
Jeez
- Hello.
- Hello.
- Busy day?
- No, mostly weeding.
- Yourself?
- Mostly paperwork.
You look terribly serious.
Oh, tired maybe.
If you're worried about Kazi,
I realise how sensitive it
is, introducing her to a
someone, and if you
think it's too soon
No, no, no. I told
her you are a friend,
and I'm sure she'll love you.
Ladies and gentlemen, may I
have your attention please?
Welcome.
