Episode 53

🎼. Dum ti dum ti dum ti dum ...

David:  Have you noticed how Leonard’s been behaving lately?

Ruth:  You mean his irritatin way of hangin on your mother’s every word and offerin to buy our ungrateful children more presents than they deserve ?

David:  I just think he’s been looking a bit peaky, poor old thing.

Ruth:  Poor old thing, my arse !

David:  Ruth, really !  You’ve been spending too much time with Lilian, or is it Jazzer ?

Ruth:  Well, he hangs around here all day simperin in the kitchen and eatin cake.  He’s gettin on my nerves.

David:  Talking of cake, have you tried Mum’s latest lemon drizzle ?  I just managed to grab a slice before Leonard wolfed the lot and Mum called him upstairs.  I think it might be a new recipe - it’s got a real sting in the tail.  What are you doing later ?

Ruth:  You know I never touch any of those carbo sugar fat bombs she makes.  I don’t want to be the size of your sister, Shula.  She never turns down a drink or a cake that one.

David:  Let’s stop talking about cake and talk about us ...

Ruth:  Aw naaaw, don’t tell me you’ve decided we’re movin again for some lame reason no-one ever understood.
.
David:  Nothing like that, I wanted to talk about us.  Why reach for the moon when we have the stars ?

Ruth:  Look, for God’s sake I’m busy - what are you on about ?

David:  Ever since I had that cake with my coffee I’ve developed an urge to ...

Ruth:  Aw naaaw, David, you can forget about all that nonsense, I’ve got the milking to do.

(shrieks and laughter from upstairs)
