05:15profit it what could go wrong well maybe because last time it almost tore this family apart it'll
05:21be different this time i've lived around here all my life all right i mean i could have gone and done
05:27anything but no i chose to stay where my roots are and look i think it's important to invest in the
05:33future and i'm not just talking about peter and bobby all right i mean jimmy and louie as well
05:37well i think that's very noble of you son
05:40well you're not gonna try and talk me out of it what's the point if you've already made your mind
05:45up see you later
05:52there's our house the chickens and there's our cat darth vader you named him that because he always
06:03tried to bite you when he was a kitten you regret it now because every time you take him to the vets
06:10that's what they call like when it's his turn
06:15he's been spending more time next door since he's been gone anyway i've never seen his cat before in my
06:19life

08:58this on the house sick on the tab sort of thing that call you ian did say that lauren's brother
09:04was back out of the blue yeah i think she's made a teflon that one even a stint inside ain't
09:10bullying down a peg or two no that's not going to help is it what he does need is someone positive
09:14in his life and he's very lucky that you're his uncle and a servant police officer who i know
09:20will definitely be coughing up to pay for his unpaid meal there you go
09:30i upset her didn't i i didn't mean to yeah i'm sure she'll understand yeah uh
09:36uh i don't like upsetting people i really don't
09:43maybe you could find her smooth things over i'm uh i'm not sure that's such a good idea oh please phil
09:51just uh bring her a cup of tea or something and uh say i didn't mean it all right all right fine
09:59she don't take sugar just a splash of milk
10:12she's a girl ain't she
10:29she's both ways isn't it
10:41so what you don't have a girlfriend by now or a boyfriend um i've seen a girl before i went
10:51aside proper fit yeah so what happened that was phil better being a lone wolf anyway you know i don't
10:59want to get tied down
11:02chip off the old block you ain't you long i sit around here i figure that's not a good thing
11:07so when did you ask to hear from him christmas well that ain't bad for max's standards 2022
11:16do you know what i was
11:23what do you mean i think i did wrong making i want me
11:26no mate it wasn't like that all right then why does he won't know
11:33look some would say you were lucky

13:15you know the worst part how quiet it's been the silence
13:27do you know how loud that silence can be fel
13:31yeah yeah i'll do as it happens
13:36he uh he wanted me to come find her you know he felt bad about losing his rag like that
13:45for Nigel losing his rag means barely raising his voice and then going for a long walk and coming
13:50back with a packet of biscuits to apologize biscuits that he'd end up eating more than half of
14:02you know when i got
14:05that call from jay i thought
