Neville and Dennis in “Unfinished Business”

Neville

Any mail for me, Den?

Dennis

[Reading his letter] No. No, there's not, Neville.

Neville

I didn't expect none. I got a parcel from Brenda yesterday. She sent us a new jumper. Oh, and some of her sister's birthday cake. We'll have that later.

Dennis

Aye, smashing.

Neville

It's not bad news, is it?

Dennis

I don't know what to make of this, frankly.

Neville

How'd you mean?

Dennis

Well, it's from Vera. It says she wants to come out here.

Neville

Here?

Dennis

Aye. It says her sister's taking the bairns for the weekend and she could do with the break, and, er, "It would give us a chance to talk things over." What's she mean by that?

Neville

Aye... she probably wants to finalise things, like.

Dennis

Everything is finalised, man. The divorce has gone through. I dunno what there is to talk about. I mean, the solicitors did all the bloody talkin'. We didn't get a word in edgeways.

Neville

Well, like she says, it'll be a break for her.

Dennis

Well, if she wants a break, why doesn't her bloke take her somewhere, y'know? Eh? He's the one with the posh new car, good job...

Neville

Ah, he's a very busy man, though, Dennis. Probably can't find the time.
