Somewhere posh where they, like, don't have any phone reception.
Just a view of a wild pony and some pheasants? - Very much so, yes.
- He's proposing.

Yeah.
Well.
Yeah.
All the boys in the office are shit scared cos of this women's networking thing she's setting up.
Oh, no! All the little city boys, they all scared that the ladies are gonna come along and take away all the strippers and cocaine.

- The heroin is sad.
Well, they should be scared, because she's working really hard and it's going to be amazing.
Well, her and Charlotte.
- Oh, do you know Charlotte? - Yeah, I been doing loads of work for her.
She's less intimidating than Shona.
Cos you're not trying to have sex with her sister.

Oh, my God.
It'll be really comfortable when I sit down.
Kind of like erm, a fanny bouncy castle.
Hey, do you think it's a sign from Jesus not to sleep with my ex? A big bloody sign.
The Lord, he does work in mysterious ways.
It's not like you can't have sex on your period, but not if you want to make a good impression.
Unless the impression is that there's been a terrible murder on his penis.
OK.
Hmm.

- Don't.
Honestly, yeah? - What? Aine, what did you think of Emma? - Erm, - See? - Whoa, what, you didn't like her? Er, no.
No, like, she had, er, nice legs.
Legs? - OK, OK, this is my impression of Emma.
- Please.
Oh, Bradley, will you pay for this for me? I don't have any money, but I've got breasts.
Honestly, don't, yeah? Or I'll punch you in your dark womb.
I thought it was a very nuance performance.
Five stars from me.

Ooh, ahh, eee, eee! Oooh! My little sister's here, man! Waaa! To be fair, it never sounded like she was faking it.
Can't believe you heard us have sex, that's embarrassing, but thank you.
It sounded a bit like you'd heard there was free money in her vagina and you were trying to dig it out.
Fine.
Proves I'm a feminist, doesn't it? So if you don't mind, ladies, be quiet, the football's back on.
Aww.
Brother, dear, why have you got an Afro comb when your hairline is running away from your face? Well, at least I grow my own hair and that's not mine.
Oh, that's mine.
- You've got an Afro comb? - No, I don I just call it my lovely comb.
Aine has an Afro comb.
Do something about these ringlets.
You know, I grew up in a house with only women, so I actually quite like hearing women talk during football.
- Aww, that's so cute.
- Aww! Aww, that is cute, but I don't feel that way, so if you don't mind shutting up, yeah? Cos the football's on, is it? Oh, my God, pass the ball, pass the ball.
- Out of all - Yes! Football's coming home - Oh, Bradley, you know you're a queen.
- Aww.
- You're an absolute queen.
And you deserve someone who sees your magic.
I'm so thankful for that, cos I'm just a single girl on the town with my four friends.
Four? Three of us.
Guys, can I be a saddo and take a selfie? Is that sad? - Yep.
