So easy to confuse yourself with your own son.
I don't remember them much, but one of them went under a lorry and my mother cooked it with potatoes.
Flopsy.
DOORBELL RINGS Oh, Jonny-boo's back from America.
Oh, oh! It tasted of road.

So, are you Jonny's female? His? Female.
Wait.
How did you know? How do we know what? That's for Adam.
That we got married.
What? Married? Um They're married? Married? Did you just say you got married? Someone get married? Hi, Grandma.
Shall we go through? You got married and you didn't tell your mother? We were going to tell you later.
Later? Yeah, well, you know, it was Vegas and THEY GIGGLE GRANDMA LAUGHS LOUDLY Mum! Kind of like you said, only this bit took way longer.
Will you let us in, please? Mum! What do you mean, you got married? I'm Adam, your new brother-in-law.
Hi.
Well, do you understand the word "married"? I thought you were on a stag weekend.
I was, then this happened.
"This.
" Oh, what a romantic(!) Oi! What the hell are you doing, getting married without telling your mother? She's not my mother.
Sorry, I don't know why I was looking at you.
What the hell are you doing, getting married without telling your mother? I don't have to tell Mum everything.
You do.
He does.
Thanks.
Now I'm in trouble! For what? Apparently, I should know everything my son gets up to.
Why don't you tell me everything you get up to? Maybe I should go sit in the car.
Good idea.
OK.
I won't be long, babe.
I must say, married life looks fun! Oh! Thanks a lot, Jonathan! Oh, this is ridiculous.
Come on, Jackie.
How could you do this to me? Do what? He's so thoughtless.

Seriously! It was a spur-of-the-moment thing.
You don't say? I met her the night before.
The night before?! You'd known her for one night? Sex.
Thank you, Martin.
Plus the morning.
Sex.
Seriously! We got to know each other pretty well.
Sex! Martin, please stop saying "sex"! Hello, everyone.

It was just us.
It was quite funny.
There was this guy dressed just like Elvis.

Out! Oh! Go on, Jonathan.
Agh! You're hurting me.
Get off! How could you do such a thing to your mother? I didn't do anything to her.
Your husband's very brave.

No, I am not.
Well? Sorry I got married without telling you, Mum.

Thank you.
Eugh, salt! You bastard! Yee-ha! Adam! Oh! Jonny! Yee-ha! He put gravy up my nose! Stupid tits! Martin! So sorry, Lisa.

I'll get some more potatoes.
Me too.
It's OK, Lisa.
