Ernest and Delia prepare for their evening out and discuss their son Trevor You never spoke to him while he was growing up I read to him Jan tries to make Nick comfortable - I’m in agony I’m the last person who should be stuck in bed If you must know, I have to go to the party because Susannah will be there Malcolm’s hiding a present for Kate - Is it an ironing board ? You’re getting fat It’s just as bad to overtip as undertip, if not worse You splashed me - All right, I’m sorry Trevor arrives unexpectedly - hello, there, are you ill ? How are things working out with Susannah ? We’re working on it Take you and me - we came into this world with the innocence of little children Ooh Nick can’t reach his book and falls out of bed I didn’t realise there’s be so many people - it’s a party, what did you expect ? I’m not unattractive, I‘m not afraid Do you and Malcolm still ... Some mornings I think, who am I, I think All those young men, and none of them with a tie Sardines on toast in bed .. do you remember ? You only came up here because Kate told you to You broke all my things, you’re a violent person One good thing about this party - we’re in the same bed together You can go straight out, mate When we were together, I had to make all the decisions for you Yes I remember Oops, that's torn it I’ve really done it now, I’m so sorry, Kate Don’t wait up, I’ll let myself in Oh darling, you’re getting fish on the sheet I can’t move, you’ll have to get me up Ow, you’re so heavy Hold on, hold on Aaargh People wouldn’t realise what a rare occurrence this is You only kissed him ? Yes, I only kissed him Trevor’s coming back You go to sleep. I’ll make a start on this I’ll read you a bit of this - Tom Brown’s Schooldays Ah ha Would you rather I wasn’t here ? I’ll get a Phillips screwdriver, it’s in the car It’s about me and Jan, I just thought you ought to be the first to know Whad’you mean ‘shoosh’ ? He can’t sleep here Susannah said she was attracted by other girls .. in the street Those magazines, Malcolm .. the ones under the socks in your drawer D’you mean, when I’m giving it my all, you think about floorboards ? Oh dear, what am I going to do ? My mother said, if S-E-X rears its ugly head, close your eyes before you see the rest of it What are we all chatting about, eh ? I’m afraid of Trevor, he’s a very violent, PASSIONATE man No woman I’ve ever been with has been bored I am attractive, I must not be afraid You’re the luckiest man in the world You put your feet all over my quilt It snapped, it was half an inch too big Most important of all, don’t tell him anything you don’t have to You’re sleeping in there. The one with the damp patch ? Susannah is not as bad as he is. I’m not asleep I’m just a bit worried things might drop off the end Trevor’s going to be back after all You know, I don’t know what you ever saw in that man He thinks he’s awfully good I thought I’d ring you to say I’m sorry about this evening Hello, mate, I’m glad I didn’t get you up We could level it up a bit .. like this What’s this doing here ? I have confidence ...
