00:00:07,500 --> 00:00:11,From the long walk next to the ocean
breeze, to the damp and to the rain of

00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:12,London City.

00:00:15,220 --> 00:00:19,We come from the sun to live in the
cold, I'm in the realm, I want my

00:00:19,700 --> 00:00:20,tree.

00:00:31,900 --> 00:00:35,Let's keep the music sweet, wind up your
waist and feel the heat.

00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:52,Popeye, it's about time you did some
cleaning up around here. But, Shirley, I

00:00:52,700 --> 00:00:53,have retired.

00:00:53,820 --> 00:00:55,Uh -uh. Your stomach ain't retire.

00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,Your ability to make a mess around here
ain't retire.

00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,So from now on, I retire.

00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,Don't drag me into it. Why not? She's
your wife because she's right.

00:01:16,170 --> 00:01:17,All right, I'll do it properly.

00:01:21,610 --> 00:01:23,Step back in amazement.

00:01:23,770 --> 00:01:25,That's not you, is it, poor boy? Ah, it
is.

00:01:26,930 --> 00:01:27,What's g***t into you?

00:01:28,590 --> 00:01:29,I don't understand things.

00:01:29,970 --> 00:01:32,I work hard for 30 years building cars.

00:01:32,890 --> 00:01:35,And the moment I retire, people call me
layabout.

00:01:36,410 --> 00:01:38,Is that the way you're supposed to
retire, by doing nothing?

00:01:39,610 --> 00:01:40,I don't believe my ears.

00:01:41,330 --> 00:01:43,You know, the next thing you're going to
tell me is that this is not a broom?

00:01:43,570 --> 00:01:44,That is definitely a broom.

00:01:45,340 --> 00:01:46,So hurry up.

00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,Look, if you work hard all your life,
just sitting down and doing nothing

00:01:50,220 --> 00:01:52,good for the system, I may grow old too
quickly.

00:01:52,660 --> 00:01:53,But I ** old.

00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:54,You see, it's started to happen already.

00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,But I still have things I want to
achieve before I die.

00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:00,Oh, that's good.

00:02:00,580 --> 00:02:02,You have to set yourself targets.

00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,That's what keeps you going.

00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:05,Yeah.

00:02:05,780 --> 00:02:09,I'd like to win the Grand National with
a thousand to one outsider.

00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,That's what you're hanging on for. You
might as well book your coffin right

00:02:15,910 --> 00:02:18,Looks like you found a vocation in life,
Popeye.

00:02:18,370 --> 00:02:19,Shut up, Matthew.

00:02:20,830 --> 00:02:22,What have I said? Too much.

00:02:23,150 --> 00:02:26,Well, what was your lecture today,
Matthew? Well, I didn't go to a lecture

00:02:26,870 --> 00:02:30,today, Shirley, because... Ta -da!

00:02:34,650 --> 00:02:40,Francesca, may I introduce you to
Desmond, Shirley, Michael, and last, and

00:02:40,590 --> 00:02:42,all means least, Popeye.

00:02:43,190 --> 00:02:45,We have become a grand... Grandfather.

00:02:46,920 --> 00:02:47,Congratulations,

00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:49,Matthew. Thank you.

00:02:49,500 --> 00:02:52,Matthew, you're far too young to be a
grandfather.

00:02:52,780 --> 00:02:54,And far too old to be a student.

00:02:56,380 --> 00:03:00,Francesca, isn't she lovely? Thank you.
And here's a picture of my grandchild.

00:03:00,780 --> 00:03:02,Not this one. There's nothing on it. I
know.

00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:04,I'm waiting for him to fill it up.

00:03:07,300 --> 00:03:11,Jack, look, I haven't even a steady
girlfriend, and I'm far too young to

00:03:11,300 --> 00:03:13,contemplate getting... Young? You call
27 young?

00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,Michael, if you'd looked at children as
an investment, your mother and I would

00:03:16,860 --> 00:03:18,have had 50 grand change from you by
now.

00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,That's right. You can't hang about
forever, you know, Michael.

00:03:21,820 --> 00:03:25,Mother, look, I'm enjoying things as
they are. It's my life, and I can do

00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:26,it whatever I choose.

00:03:27,140 --> 00:03:30,Now, Father, can I borrow that old,
jazzy, hand -painted 50s tie you g***t,

00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:31,please? No. Why not?

00:03:31,980 --> 00:03:34,Because it's my tie, and I can do with
it whatever I choose.

00:03:34,660 --> 00:03:37,Oh, Desmond, stop sulking. Let me buy
the tie.

00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:38,So you want it for anyway.

00:03:38,890 --> 00:03:42,What does it matter? Just lend him the
tie. It's all right. I don't want it

00:03:42,050 --> 00:03:48,anymore, okay? So you ask me at all?
Because I... You want grandchildren,

00:03:49,090 --> 00:03:52,Right, right. Why don't you lend me the
tie so that I can look smart, attract

00:03:52,130 --> 00:03:55,the woman of my dreams, we make mad
passionate love, you have a grandchild,

00:03:55,990 --> 00:03:57,have a tie, and everybody's happy.

00:03:58,110 --> 00:04:00,Why didn't you say that in the first
place?

00:04:00,730 --> 00:04:01,It's in the wardrobe.

00:04:02,070 --> 00:04:02,Thanks, Dad.

00:04:02,870 --> 00:04:05,I thought it'd be fun to wait till my
college reunion tomorrow.

00:04:05,650 --> 00:04:06,Oh, yes.

00:04:06,950 --> 00:04:08,Tomorrow. is when you open that
envelope.

00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:09,What envelope?

00:04:09,780 --> 00:04:13,Well, five years ago when we graduated,
my friends and I went out for a meal.

00:04:14,020 --> 00:04:16,And we popped into an envelope what we
thought we'd be doing in five years'

00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:17,time. What for?

00:04:19,579 --> 00:04:21,Because it seemed like a good idea at
the time.

00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,I think it's a wonderful idea.

00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:24,Tomorrow we'll tell.

00:04:27,260 --> 00:04:30,Have you g***t the money?

00:04:31,340 --> 00:04:32,Oh, yes.

00:04:34,180 --> 00:04:35,Here we are.

00:04:35,980 --> 00:04:36,What's that?

00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:38,My contract of agreement.

00:04:38,980 --> 00:04:40,I don't want to buy a house, man.

00:04:40,820 --> 00:04:42,I just want 50 pounds to borrow for a
week.

00:04:44,780 --> 00:04:48,Lending money to friends is an easy way
of ruining friendships.

00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,But I wouldn't ask a friend for money.
That's why I came to you.

00:05:05,290 --> 00:05:07,sign before you go, Mr. Ambrose. Right.
Thank you, Mandy.

00:05:09,210 --> 00:05:11,You going somewhere special? I haven't
seen that tie before.

00:05:12,070 --> 00:05:13,Uh, no.

00:05:15,090 --> 00:05:18,Well, I don't want to appear too formal.
It's just a reunion with some of my

00:05:18,650 --> 00:05:19,college friends.

00:05:19,390 --> 00:05:20,Oh, that sounds nice.

00:05:21,030 --> 00:05:23,Well, I think it's important to keep in
contact with one's social peers.

00:05:25,590 --> 00:05:27,Even if one may have left them behind
career -wise.

00:05:29,010 --> 00:05:30,So, it's a night out with the boys?

00:05:30,810 --> 00:05:31,No, no. Two of them are girls.

00:05:31,950 --> 00:05:32,Career girls?

00:05:32,890 --> 00:05:33,Who knows?

00:05:35,050 --> 00:05:36,Maybe one of them's destined to be a
bank manager.

00:05:39,310 --> 00:05:42,Yes, it'd be refreshing to see a woman
behind that desk one day.

00:05:42,890 --> 00:05:44,Yes, well, thank you, Mandy. That'll be
all.

00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,Chinese restaurant where we made our
path.

00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,Oh, we should have. Oh, I don't know.
Since my stopover in Bangkok, I prefer

00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:13,Thai food.

00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,It would have been a bit difficult,
Charlotte. It's an estate agent for now.

00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:22,What? What, an estate agent for taking
over? Hey, no, knock it.

00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:25,Sorry, James, but you know what I mean.

00:06:26,140 --> 00:06:27,No. Yes, he does.

00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,Well, come on, Michael. Don't keep us in
suspense any longer.

00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:37,before I do.

00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,You're not going to give us any
sentimental claptrap, are you? Oh, come

00:06:40,820 --> 00:06:45,Michael hasn't g***t a sentimental bone in
his body. What I was going to say is,

00:06:45,300 --> 00:06:50,if any of us hasn't achieved what he or
she set out to do, as concealed in his

00:06:50,380 --> 00:06:54,envelope, look, just remember, we wrote
what we wrote on a drunken night after

00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,our graduation day, OK? You sound pretty
drunk now.

00:06:57,220 --> 00:06:58,I'm driving.

00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,Aren't we all? Do press on, Michael. I
have to get up frightfully early

00:07:01,860 --> 00:07:03,nowadays. Come on. Right, here we go.

00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:05,And...

00:07:07,500 --> 00:07:08,James. Right,

00:07:10,340 --> 00:07:14,James. Five years ago, you wrote, I
believe London is on the verge of a

00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,explosion. I'd like to get a piece of
the action.

00:07:17,500 --> 00:07:18,Well?

00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:23,Well, I joined Hardbottle and
Hardbottle, where I rose to district

00:07:24,100 --> 00:07:26,I then moved on to Farquhar and
Farquhar.

00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,This is, alas, dead men's shoes in terms
of promotion.
