( whispers ) never call me sweetheart. not that one. the one with the different head. gawd. you re a beeping waste of beeping space! why are you saying beep ? it s baby-ish. it is not, because whenever gordon brown says a swear word on telly, there s a man behind him with a big machine that puts a beep over it. you ve got it all wrong. one, it s gordon ramsey, not gordon brown, and two, he has a beeper in his pocket, so when he s gonna say a swear word he hits his pocket and it makes a beeping sound. sometimes when he swears, he goes, yeah, baby! and his arms wave in the air really wildly. dad: hello, you two. hello! so, uh, how are you getting on? i ve got allen key wrist and i think that i ve put an akx where a bgx2 should be. anyway. pete, this is jo, jake s friend. oh, hi, jo. hi. you are well? fine, thanks. i think it s really good that jake s got a friend who s a girl. yeah, we ve done that. how was it? well, it was a.funeral. oh, i don t know. poor johnsy, you know, you re 43, you feel a bit under the weather, next thing.bosh. there s a guitar in the hall. uh, yeah. i was, um. i was passing that guitar shop on the way back from the funeral, and i ve wanted to learn a musical instrument for ages, but i ve i thought what the hell? you ve got your guitar. maybe we could.jam together. do you fancy the drums, jo? no, she plays clarinet for the english national youth orchestra. oh. anyway, you d be crap. well, i ll be crap to start with, but i ll get better. and so will i. so when you get a bit better, i ll get a lot better, so compared to me, you ll still be crap. so when you were little and you were crap at football, i still played in the park with you, didn t i? that s different, because i m getting better and you re getting worse. i don t think so. i beat him at football all the time. listen, last time we played, i nutmegged him twice. you did not nutmeg me. i nutmegged you. and it s more difficult with a child, because you ve got smaller legs. mum, isn t it true that every time gordon ramsey swears there s a man behind him with a big machine that puts a beep over it? well, no, no, no. they do that afterwards. what do you mean, afterwards? it d be too late afterwards. because he ll already have sweared. well, you re sort of right wouldn t it just be easier for him not to say a swear word? well, sometimes, when he s feeling angry or. or he s under pressure, he just well, can t he just say something like flip or bother ? shouldn t it be people like doctors and soldiers and artists that swear, not cooks, because all they re doing is making salad. well, sometimes they re quite, um. hang on. why am i defending gordon ramsey? yes, why are you? i think people like. like artists should swear, because they spend a lot of time making a lovely picture, and then it goes wrong! so they have to do it again, then it goes wrong and they have to do it again. ( shouting outside ) what is going on out there?! ben: they re having a penalty shoot-out! jake: you re crap, and you know you are. you re crap, yes, yes, and you know you are. all right, enough. that was really sweet of you. sorry? to let jake win in front of jo. oh. well, you know. it was really sweet of you to let jo win as well. jo: pete, sue, thanks very much, but i d better be heading home now. you can stay to tea if you like. no, i promised my lot i d cook. but thanks anyway. dad: she cooks for her.? so, his first crush, eh? yeah. what? may be batting a bit out of his league. what do you mean? you know clever, sporty, pretty, plays clarinet for england. and? i just remember the first girl i really fell for was a bit like that, and she put me down with a bit of a bump. yeah, but jake s a really confident and good-looking boy. whereas? you were a bit nerdy. you said so yourself. well, i was you said that whenever you tried to speak to a girl you broke out in a really foul-smelling sweat. well, some girls found that kind of shyness endearing. not so much the sweat. oh. how was the funeral? pretty grim. d you know johnsy was planning on having a year off, travel around the world. and then, wallop. oh, bugger it, let s not cancel our holiday. we ll get deeper in the hole. the whole country s in debt. so are we in a lot of money trouble, then? no. no. so, um, how long you been listening? since really foul-smelling sweat. zack s mum and dad had money trouble. they had to sell their house and move to swansea. i m sorry, we didn t mean to alarm you, we just. maybe we should talk to you kids about it, treat you like grown-ups. good idea. murderer! what? you murdered a mouse, and now it s in a trap in the laundry room! i thought you were gonna sort it. sorry. murderer! why are you blaming me? you can t have mice in the house, can you? why not? cause they re dirty and they smell. so does ben. they run around the house and they poo everywhere. so does ben. that s not fair! i had diarrhea! but you got it all on that man s shoes. yeah, they probably should have toilets on the millennium wheel. god, what a long half hour that was. anyway. karen, it s nearly tea time. come and help me set the table. you did such a fantastic job last time. no! you re a mouse killer! karen! i meant to get rid of it, and then bloody jane turned up. brilliant. can t rely on anyone. you re right there. not even your friends. are you all right, sweetheart? they voted for ross as class rep. oh, i m sorry to hear that. did he pay them more money than you? no, he didn t give them any money. he s just he s popular. no, that s not right. once you ve sold your vote, you should stick to it. jake: when are we gonna have this family chat about money? we could have it now, couldn t we? we could have a family meeting over tea. karen, come and sit down! mum, can you guarantee that we re definitely not oi! can you guarantee we re definitely not gonna lose the house? yes. it s not like that. we re just a bit short of money at the moment. we can t even afford a cup of tea. what do you mean? well, one day, me and mummy were walking down the street, and there was a man sitting on the pavement with his dog. a very nice dog, actually. and he asked, do you have enough money for a cup of tea? and mum said, no. yeah, but i didn t exactly mean well, he looked thirsty. i m sure he was thirsty. ben, can you ben, you don t understand. mum was lying so that she didn t have to give the man money. no, i wasn t lying ben: then why did you tell him we couldn t? we can afford a cup of tea. so you were lying. she lies and she murders mice. karen, i think we need to set the mouse.thing to one side. all we mean is. that we just have to be a bit more careful with money at the moment. and i m.looking for another job.
