00:08reveal, pretend, and love in your readers tonight.
00:17I want you to be able to spell them on Monday.

01:29Oh, Arnold, that's lovely.
01:34I used a week's pocket money.
01:36Oh, wow, that's far too much. You didn't have to.
01:38I did. It's important that you know how I feel about you.
01:42Well, this is very special, and I'll treasure it always.
01:48Does this mean we're engaged?
01:50Uh, well, I hadn't thought about it.
01:54If you want to, I suppose.
01:58Well, that's very sweet, and I'll certainly give it some thought.
02:03You have a good weekend, OK?
02:05Yes, Miss, I definitely will.
02:23So, how was everyone's day?
02:25You're a horse.
02:26Screaming at some kid with a crossbow.
02:28No.
02:29Yeah.
02:30We shot his office head and glue and trying to rob a newsagents.
02:33Had to go ahead to shoot and everything.
02:35Oh, cool. Did you waste him?
02:37It's not cool, Erdle.
02:39No more cowboy films.
02:41No. He backed down in the end, thank God.
02:43Otherwise, I'd be sitting here with an arrow to me head.
02:47Where are these kids' parents?
02:52Mom, what age kind of person to get married at?
02:55Um, I think it's 16.
02:57Why?
02:58Have you got something to use for us?
03:00No, well, not yet.
03:02I'll give you a bastard.
03:04I'll give you a bastard.
03:05I'll give you a bastard.
03:09I thought, yeah.
03:10I didn't think apart from this there, no.
03:12Isn't that a It's for both ways?
03:13You don't do it.
03:14No bombo.

03:48Hello, Ardle.
03:54Bought anything nice?
03:57Boots.

04:01They're cably boots.
04:02Wow, very cool.
04:03I got something special myself.

05:43I'm sorry, pet. Go on.
05:45It's all right. You'll see anyway.
05:47What do you mean?
05:50Nothing. You'll just see that I'm the one that loves you.
05:53Ardell, I know you do, and you're very special to me, too.
05:57Sometimes grown-ups, we have to...
05:58I have to go home, miss. Bye.
06:09I would have taken you for lunch.
