' 'The city.
London.
Londinium.

'She wanted to go and find herself.
'I hope she does.
' 'She got some money after she sold a few articles.
'About £400, actually.
Her auntie gave her the rest.
'This is Brian.
He lives downstairs.

'Sort of.
' 'London was her place - definite and focused, like her mind.
'The home of her triumphs and tragedies.
' 'This is Mike.
' 'He's my best friend.
'Mike's just got back into the Territorial Army.
'He got chucked when he nicked a tank and tried to invade Paris.
- 'He's much better now though.
' - Yes ! 'It was a city that loved her, 'cared for her, never judged her.
' 'This is Twist, Daisy's best friend.
'Although I'm not entirely sure why.
I haven't figured her out just yet.
'She's either sweet and stupid or an evil genius.
'Either way, she's sleeping with Brian and she works in fashion.
'Apparently.
' I've got an idea, why don't ! 'This is Marsha.
That was her daughter, Amber.
'Marsha's our landlady.

Very different.
I don't know where to start.
Near the end ? Where's Colin ? Ah, erm Oh, you bastard.
He's upstairs with Marsha.

Wow ! But I've had to move out of Mum's place.
- Really ? - Things have been a bit difficult.
She's been very overbearing and I felt suffocated.

Right.
Well, we'll have to have a party at your flat.

I've changed, Tim.
Your front door's open.
- Brian.
- Welcome home, Miss Steiner.
They arrived just before you did.
You Lando.
Take a seat, Miss Steiner.
And let us not have a repeat of our last encounter.
You're beginning to try my patience.
We have the bag, Miss Steiner.
- I didn't know I had it.
- There's no point resisting.
You have illegally carried goods into this country, contravening every customs law there is and we have all the evidence we need to bring you in.
No, you don't.
- Marsha ! - Hello, everybody.
Hello, Brian.
What is this ? I think this will clear everything up.
- We don't have time for this.
- Oi ! - Timmy ! - Wait ! Thanks for your help, Mrs Klein.
- It's Miss, actually.
- Miss Klein.
We'll keep this for study, Miss Steiner.
Don't even think about leaving the country.
Don't worry.
I won't.
I can't afford it.
That's better.
You'd never know he'd been here.
Aw, he's like a giant baby.
With a moustache.
Thanks for letting him stay.
He won't be here too long.
That's Ok.
I like having him here.
I'm sorry about your kite.
- My kite ? - Yeah.
I got it for you.
- Did you ? - Yeah.
Sure you didn't get it for Steven Edwards ? It was a weird day, wasn't it ? - Sort of - Slightly unbelievable.
- It's nice to be back, though.
- It's nice to have you back.
Get off me, you Joey.
